A RUNNING COMMENTARY ON
A RENEGADE.

lst. Once upon a time woodman
found snake almost frozen to death, and
being Of a compassionate disposition he
carried the half dead reptile to his home,
and laid it down in front of blazing
fire. He seated himself beside it and
watched with anxious eye the signs of
returning animation. He had not watch
ed and waited long, when his, snake-ship
began slowly to unfold his bow timber
coils, and with spring like flash of
Tightening, he b1 the poor woodman, who
had been the means of saving its life.
Moral-ingratitude.
In our intercourse with the world we
sometimes strike up with just such a snake
as this, enrobed in the garments of the
"human form devine," and we think our
city is particularly blessed Tor cursed as
the case may be) with very fine speci>
men of this "genus homo"

a Broad street daily, our eye was attrao>
ted to some very high toned language.
After announcing. that military guards
were patroling the streets and disarming
all the colored people, the editor of that

Now there is no earthly use for our
eoiered population to carry weapons. 4
majority OF those rambling around the
streets might, better by far be at bone.
And if they would keep at home, they
would not be disturbed or molested.

character, if not their superior. We are
proud to think that Don Pedro, the cul-'
tivated Brazilian Emperor, should have
discovered the gem of native worth in the
African, and Ehat under his fostering
care it/shOp have made an lndelI0le
mark in the history of races The ideas
of the attainments and capabilities of
the African have been largely drawn from
the plantation slave, around whom was
built wall of law that he should not do
thus and so. From him the ideas were
taken of the whole race, regardless of
what the race might do under different
influences and outside the restraint which
trammelled his action. In our opinion,
the fact that it was deemed necessary to
hedge him around by law in his mental
abilities, was positive proof and de-
claration to the world ~hat under these
forbidden influences, he might rise and
become q cOnapetifOr. q01th the race that
b0u'ad him. The reason we put shutters

self, is proof that the Circassian was
afraid that he qo0uH steal knowledge,
and c0uld advance himself through its
agency. Therefore, he made laws, or
fastened up the shutters and looked the
doors of that temple in order to keep him
just where he wanted him to be, namely,
on the outside. 1t is quite customary
to hear the remarks that the negro is
fit for nothing, that he cannot be taught
nything,' and that he cannot advance
in the scale Of humanity If this is
really so, how very foolish for men to sit
down in legislative halls and make laws
to preve7at him from learning anything,
and advancing in the human scale, when
these men, in their own minds, are con-
vinced that he cannot do what they are
determined he shall not get the chance to
do. 1t is very evident from this that they
utter with their lips what they do not
think with their hearts. But these laws
are dead, and we are glad of it. Fate
has torn down the shutters and broken
the locks Of the temple of knowledge, and
the great problem of advancement has
commenced, and if, in its solution, it
should give birth to men in the full
sense of the term; We hope and trust
that the boundary lines of color and race
shall be obliterated from the map of
common sense, and every man shall stand
on his own merits as man, and the world
shall behold the consummation of the
