T John ". Fornsy, says the
Louisville Courier, In his speech
to q colored delegation which
waited upon him just before he
"sailed away to sea-" said:
"I believe the day is coming,
and thatit is not far distant, when,
from the State of South Carolina,
there viii be in the halls of Con-
gress a black man, ADLER than John
G. Calhoun ever was, and that
there will go from the State of
Kentucky, at least as able a black
man as Henry Clay"
Forney expects to see an ADLER
negro than John G. Calhoun from
South Carolina and an ADLER negro
from Kentucky than Henry Clay.
This is the madness of fanaticism.
The world has never produced a
negro not a pigmy in intellect
compared to either of the great
statesmen named. But the ex.
preston of such an opinion by a
man of intelligence and culture,
as Forney is, shows the delusions
which have enwrapped the minds
Of the Northern fanatics, and the
unreasonableness of their hopes
and expectations. The man who
can believe that a negro will even
be born equal to either Calhoun
or Clay, is crazy enough to hope
for and look forward to any pos.
sible or impossible result. The
combined intellect of ell the ne.
groes who ever lived, could not
be compared to that of either
Calhoun or Clay, and every sensi.
BILE man knows it. o'
