The lecturer showed that emancipa-
tien had ruined the prosperity of the
fertile West India islands. The result
of total emancipation in this couatry
would be the same. The negro can
only be a happy and useful being
when he is subservient to the white
race [Applauso.] Slavery is the
nounal condition Of the negro. Ne
grols are iuArica what groenbacks
are in the Uuitsd States. TAppIause.1

When the influence of the white pan
is withdrawn from them, they soou
return ;othe worshiping Of snakes and
other such gods. They sink to bar
barism, and will 60 it in spite of all
pronamatlons that may bo issued by
any man. [Cbeers. and yet we
have been told that this war, to free
the negroes, is u sublilner sight thar
the war Of tho Revolution. The ide
that established this Government wa
white and not black. THE cheerin
that this sentiment elicited was 2er
tectly dcafening.] She quoted Senotc
Douglass statement that this nation
was founded by white men, for white
men only and their posterity. If Miss
| DicEensOn had said hat either the
Constitution or AboIltionism must
die, she would have uttered what ev-
erybody knows to be tho truth. APP
plauso. Before Abolitl0nism sprang
up the negroes were happy and the
country prosperous. But when MI
Seward instituted his "irrepressibl,
conflict" our troubles really began.
Miss Diickensop has SAID that slav-
cry was the caase Of tire war. The
Abolitiouists say that theSouth should
not have slaves and therefore deluge
tho country with blood, in carrying
on war for their freedom. Miss
Dickenson had alluded to Gen. Nc
Clellan as 'Hle general who shall be
nameles5 here and evermore." She
Miss Weob) asked her audience ii
Gen. Mcclellan was naneless. Cries

| The lecturer referred to Miss Dick
elson's statement, that the amy was
not Fl lhting Cor tho subjugation OF
aGy State-not for the old Consiitu-
ton our fathers made, not for liberty.
She thought it would be q good idea
to send Miss Dickinson 20 the army
to inform it Of the objects it ia fight
ing for.-TApplause. Consolidation
is desrotism and liberty is djffusive,
and he who would restrict tho latter
wages war against tho principles
upon which our Constitution is es-
+ tabljshed. If Miss Dickensou's idea
is carried ont, tho country ought to
be- called New Africa. Laughter.
She (Nliss d. has plenty ofsympathy
TOR the negro, but none for the five
hundred thousand widows and chill
, dren of white m3n who have lallen in
this war Applause Had not tho
work ofdeath gone far enough! Peace
must colpe, sooner or later, and why
put it off ill greater rain ensue, and
larger harvest Of Death has been
: reapcd. TApp'auss and cheers.
