The Bellefonte Watchndn furnishesin ad-
vance, speech for negro advocates in the

But my followers, Neber glib up'de ship.

Brudder Delaun Gray will proceed to col
lect dc revenue In de usual way, while de con-
gregation jines dis highly edifying hymn
Oh giggle, google jumpacross,

Den dis brudder steal hoss,
And ride him to de woods
Jiggle, google, possum fat,
Hop de dooden dow,
T. sc got a lovely Thomas cat,
o. Whar's de Buro now.
While many may think that the speech
will not be very appropriate for campaign
purposes, yet it will be found to contain just
about as ,reiqhty arguments as abolition or
ators generally use.
