TO demonstrate to you the fact that
wherever they have had an opportu-
nifty to make the progress that you
desire they should make, that wher-
ever the opportunity has been given
them to fit themselves for the right to
vote, that there the proportion of
crime committed by them is larger
than in any other section of this con-
tinent. That is fact that this book
demonstrates. Now, remember that
Massachusetts gave the negro the right
to vote when he was able to read and
write, and that in New York he has
the right to vote when he is possessed
of certain amount of property. The
statistics of 1850 show that in the
State of Massachusetts, there was one
negro convict to every two hundred
and sixty-two. The proportion in
New York is about the Same. Penn
sylvania has one black convict 10 ev-
cry five hundred black men WITHIN her
borders. This demonstrates that un-
der our policy, winch makes them not
our equals, which does not vest them
with the power Of sovereignty, much
less crime is committed than in those
sections in which they have greater
privileges and are permitted to vote.

Almighty God, our Heavenly Faith
er. has been pleased to vouchsafe to US
another year of that national life which
is an indispensable condition of peace,
security and progress, That year, more
over, has been crowned with many pc
cuIiar blessings. The civil war that

been benignly mitigated; domestic
tranquility has improved; sentiments of
Cancellation have largely prevailed and
affections of loyalty and patriotism
have beed widely renewed; our fields
have yielded quite abUndantly; our
mining industry has been richly re-
warded, and we have been allowed to
extend our railroad system far into the
interior of the country, while our com.
merce has resumed its customary ac-
tivity ir foreign seas. These great ma
tional blessings demand a National ac-
acknowledgement.
Now, therefore, [. Andrew J Johnson,

poor Kinkel Obeyed, and found him
self standing on the sea-shOre, a boat
awaiting a few feet from the spot
where he stood, and a ship with an

Upon their arrival in London, the
patriots were received with transports
of enthusiasm The rich German res
idents of the British metropolis took
upon themselves to provide for the
brave young fellows who, in the dis
guis of PrUssian Dragons, had aided
Schurz in successfully carrying out
his noble project, and Prof Kinkel
himself commenced giving lectures on
German literature, which met with i'm
mense success. Carl Schurz soon af-
terward parted from his old preceptor,
and set out to seek his fortune in the
promised land across the broad Allan
tic. His career in the United States
is well known He had left In Ger

Still, fortune smiled on Schurz. Ris-

was appointed Envoy Extraordinary
to the Court of Madrid, and fifteen
years after his fight with Kinkel, he
quitely revisited his birthplace. No

condemned felon, now a diplomatic
representative of one of the most pow
