REV. DR.. TYING, alias Higginson, in
his speech at the late negro meeting in
Cooper Institute, New York, said
"In all these qualities that adorn the
man and dignity the women, the black
man and the black woman shine as oxal-
ted and glorious as any white man or
white woman in the land, (Applsuse.)- -.
The time has come when we are to take
them cordially by the hand and say OF
every one of them, "It is my brother, it
is my sister, it is my fellow citizen" The
very rights that have he shall have tho
very claims 1 make for myself will make
for him; the respect I demand he shall
receive the countenance require / will
myself extend to him."
Now, let u, see this reverend divine ex.
change pulpits with aome Sambo. Let us
see him 60 out 10 tea with flock of ne
grccs. Lot us see him, when he oalls
upon black wonch, take her young ono
on his knoe and kiss it. Nay, lot US see
him kiss the wcncb herself Then VIC will
beliove--thst is, we will believe no is o:
good as a niger.

How SOLDIERS VorE.-The Abolition
lists exult over the votes in the 5th Wiscon-
sin Regiment, which is reported to have
givon 4l5 for the Republican ticket, and
only ono for the Democracy. The way
such result is obtained, is explained by
the following extract from letter from a
soldier in the Camp at Corinth :-"Elec
tionccripg in camp is 'like tho handle Of q
jug, all on ono sido,' and taking the votes
of the army is farce, many will not vote
at all. From sense Of duty they cannot
vote the Abolition ticket; and tho fear ol
being a mark for these officers who wish
the war TO last, to vent their spite on, in
tho shape of extra duty and other punish.
ment, prevents them from voting the Dem.
ocratic ticket. And to 'one who had beer
there, there is nothing surprising in read.

regiment wore unanimous for Mr.. So

TIE Poughkccpsie Telegraph says there
is "a brute in human form in that city,
who recently said :-"I would to God that

of tho South exterminatcd, and the females
left to the mercy of the negroes, that a
better race might people the Southern
States"
Such brutos are not peculiar to pough-

the great majority of the Abolitionists, but
it is the doctrine taught by oil such clcri-
cal vagabonds as Boecher, Cheevor, Tying,
