volution, which this sentiment is
working, before it has run its
course-until it hss consummated
its purpose. That purpose is, to
place the emancipated slave on an
equality, political as we'll as civil,
with the white man. This result
I look upon as the decree OF
| destiny-no human power can
prevent it. It is within possibili-
ty that it may be postponed, but
it will comet is inevitable. Why.
then, contend against fate, against
that which we cannot successfully
oppose? The eagle, as be strikes
with bold and fearless wing the
storm that hurries him away, is
an object in nature that claims our
admiration; but he can rise above
the clouds; and soar again to his
"pride Of place" Not so with a
people situated as we are, who
stand in the way Of the march Of
events, who attempt to stem q

But if we are to base our hopes
tor mlIder and letter terms OF
restoration to the Union upon
reaction ofSentimcntin the masses
Of the North, controlling the Iegls-
lation Of Congress: it would seem
! that our true policy would be to
mace ourselves in that position
where we will be able to exert the
greatest influence in promoting
this reaction. In our present posi-
ton we exert no influence, either
in or out Of Congress, in shaping
the course Of political affairs. But:
once admitted into the Union, we
become a power in the State. We
may then join our true friends
there in their efforts to bring the
Government back to its ancient
landmarks Of power, to bring
about the reaction hoped for and
and so much desired. But, as l
have already said, | have no con-
fdence in any changejn Congress
that will prompt the offer OF more
favorable terms to us. On the
contrary very much fear that, IT
we should reject the protfered plan,
it will give political agltators re-
newed power to exact Of US still
severer terms. The indications
are, that any new element Of dis
cord introduced by us at this time
in the settlement Of this contro-
versy-any exhibition ofobstlnacy;
undue pride or resentment on our
part, will likely lead to the adop-
tion gilmore proscriptiye measures,
to the imposition Of still greater
burdens upon US. me e o!sIrS1-
