FRED. DOUGLAS TO HIS PEOPLE.

In a late speech at Akron, Ohio, Fred.
Douglas, addressing the colored people,
told them the Government emancipated
the negro as matter of policy, and not
from any Christian motive OF tight or ius-
tice, and that they had no more reason 10 be
thankful to the Government for their free
dom than had the Hebrews to feel thank
full to Pharaoh for their deliverance from
bondage. Douglas said that although it
was possible that, naturally, the colored
men were equal to the whites, they were
not so practically. and that they must rise
through their own exertions to much
higher degree of intelligence before being
allowed all the rights and privileges Of
the white man. He added that they were
now on probation, and if fifteen years
hence found them as they are now, it
would be almost impossible 10 make any
advancement Perhaps this advice from
an intelligent man may be received by
his race as counsel from friend. 1t is
certain that the competition against
which they will have to contend for the
means of support, must increase by immi-
grafton every year, whilst they can rely
on no such addition to their numbers, but
must make up for the inequality by in
creased efficiency. The ignorant and de-
graded of whatever color, must always
be subject to superior intelligence, and il
behooves the colored people to reflect
whether those aIe their true friends, who
would plunge them into politics without
previous preparation and training, or
those who would help to fit them, as far
as may be accomplished. for the discharge
hereafter of such duties as may devolve
upon them. .-Batim0re Sun.

The One Man Power.

The National Hntelligencer, speaking of
the spectacle presented III the Senate on
Thursday, when Senator Wade was called
to qualify for a trial the most solemn which
has ever been instituted on earth, says -
knowing by that unerring process of
reason which curdles thousand issues in
to one-the real one-tbat the matter to
resnlt from the proposed trial is simply
aud inevitably which one of two men shall
be President, that Senator being one Of
them he arose and deliberately walked
forward to offer himself as a Prcsldent.-
Before gazing world an American bred
man did that act The hiss of scorn and
the blast of shame ought to come up from
all mankind. His relation to the trial is
precisely that, and as personal as that of
the accused. The alternative is wholly
between the two men. One shall be a
President and the other shall not. The
Judgment cannot be less than this. 1t can
not be more. On that judgment the ac-
cusea has no voice. His inevitable alter
nate demands voice ! Shall the dignity
aud conscience of the American people be
put pff with the disgusting afectation that
man under such circumstances may divest
himself Of all bias in his own favor? With
what contempt the people will receive the
insulting preteDce that a hardened old
politician may be so Indifferent to the
greatest office in their gift. that though
directly ard inevitably related to it, he
would be wholly unaffected by the fact?
Is that office so despicable that even Mr..
Wade could not be Influenced by it 4?
Should this trial result by any possibili-
ty in removal of President Johnson.--and
what is the same thing, the induction of
Mr.. Wade-what artifce could hide, what
forgery could supplant the everlasting sig
uiicance of the scene of yesterday, as
prefguring the seizure of the government
BY single usurper and his conspiring al
lies ? Will Senators see where they place
themselves should they tolerate this abom-
Unable abuse 2"

on the finances;
The tendency is, however, to the broad
est and most liberal measures, so far as
the interests of the taxpaying masses are
concerned. The premature and Shylock
demand of the bondhoIders, to be paid
the full face of their bonds in gold, whether
so expressed or not, has aroused the wide
spread opposition. The efforts of these
bondholders to contract the currency and
force specie payments. in order to increase
their own wealth thirty to forty per cent,
and to keep up for all time to come the
burden of an enormous debt on the produc-
tive industry of the working classes, have
alarmed the people. They naturally look
to the amount given for these bonds, not
on the whole more than fifty to sixty per
cent. in gold, perhaps, and ask why they
should be called to pay a hundred. They
want TO know why there should be one
role of payment for the bondholders, and
another for all the rest of the community

their victims bleed but let them beware
of the fate of Shylock. who lost all his
money. The significant vote iu the House
of ofRrpressntatives on Monday on Mr..
Bnrr's resolution declaring "that sound
financial policy requires the gradual with
drawal Of the nterest-bearing bonds and
the substitution therefor of greenbacks :"
ought to he a warning to the exscting
bondholders. When Mr.. Spalding moved
to lay this resolution on the table the vote
stood sixty-fiSe to fifty FIVE against tabling
it that is there was a majority of ten
against the bondhoders' attempt to smoth-
er the resolution. But this is only one of
many incidents in Congress. significant it
Is, showing the growing tendency to repu-
date the greedy claims of the bondholders.
Let them beware how they act lest a more
sweeping reputation should follow. The
heavily bnrdcned taxpayers will rot be
trifed with, or bend TO unreasonable ex-
actions. The bondhclders must help as
well as others, to relieve the country of
the weight Of our stupendous debt, or they
may meet the fate of Shylock.
