In anticipation that the Hon. Henry

Of Massachusetts. The meeting was
organized by the choice of Captain A.

o'clock that evening. The delegation,
numbering about fifty, called on him,
and were severally introduced, and

Now let me say to those, who are still de-

first place. the adoption of the Constitutional
amendment. The first section of that amend
ment secures to these black men around me,
and to those little children too, all the rights
and privileges of American citizens. For
by the provisions of this very amendment
no State can make or enforce any laws
abridging the privileges or immunities of
any citizen of the United States, howsoeyer
humble he may be. Thus all men are to be

anu Only WlLuln Lne verge OF those laws.
But he was opposed to slavery, for as have
said he held to the doctrines of the fathers.
In the Convention that framed the Consti-
tuition there was not man outside of South
Carolina and Georgina that favored slavery
Washington saw its direful effects; jefferson
said that in contest to keep men in slavery,
God had no attribute that would take sides
with the master; JAS. Madison said it should
not gointo the Constitution, and it did not 90;
Jas. Monroe said that it eat out the vitals of
these States and prayed on their prosperity;
John Jay said that slavery was sin of
crimson dye; Gov. Morris said that it was
an outrage on human nature; and George
Mason, one of the grandest characters in
history, said that slavery brought the curse
OF Heaven upon the country; while Frank
lin, Adams, Patrick Henry and Hamilto
lifted up their voices against this wicked ln-
stitution. In North Carolina, in 1887, Jas.
Iredell said that when the abolition of sla-
very took place it would be an event pleasing
to every generous mind, and blessing to
human nature.
Such were the doctrines of Abraham Lin
coin and the Republican party. It was their
intention to restore the government to the
ideas and principles of those who made it,
and who believed that slavery was crime
against humanity and a sin against God.-
That too was the faith of the Republican
party. It was not contrary to the teachings
of Jesus Christ, our Lord !; or the wisdom of
the philosophers of all ages, or the words of
the fathers themselves, but it was true,
simple, grand faith, that found an answer
in every pulsation of the human heart.
We further believed that we had right
tokeep slavery out of the territories of the
United Statos--to keep that magnificent
Western empire ever open to the free labor
er so long as grass should grow or water run.
And these slave States themselves taught
that lesson Nine hundred thousand toiling

homes inthe far West, where labor was honor
