FRmNp WALTON -soIouniug for few days
st thi. focal point of public interest, I thought it
might not be- auiss Co note down some Of the facts
and incidents which came within my knowledge.
Sly first day was
sAnn,ru N WASHINGTON.
In the morning went 90 the Capitol TO hear
the celebrated Dr. Boynton. Chaplain Of the Sem
atc and pastor of the new Congregational Church
which worships 30 the Representatives, Hall OF
course ! heard--somcbody else lt proved to be
DR. circuit Agent of the American Colonization
Society. II bis object was to persuade colored
people 20 emigmte to Africa, bis success coul1not
have been great for saw but solitary person of
that description Ia the audience; aud II friends
was what he desired, 10 was mo- less a failure for
no attempt of that sort was made. That Africa is
a deserving and promising field for missionary La
bor | 40 not doubt and 1T persons of African
descent are best adapted Co that work. 10y all
means send them if ucy are willing to go but
that this race must Doe banishcd from our land in
order Co enjoy the rights aud immuuities of man
hood. believe is libel upon humanity and an
insult i1 our common Father AZ least. lct us liit
thc iron heel OF oppression from their uccks and
give them a chance Co rise, before we undertake
20 expatrate three or four millions of the very
class that are essential 90 the industrial prosperity
of the land.

the fingers of one hand. there may have been
more. The Senators bad good excuse however.
