The report of his speech contains
the following:
THE DANCING OF THE NEGRO.

dance. Where is Banks, Hooper, Ames,
Oaks and Boutwell,? 1.-THE mig dan

Why was not Patrick Donahoe elect

crowd went solid against him. That's
So. More dancing, Why is Boston,
to-day, the Salem Of New York? 1.-The
mig jumps. Why are your wharves
deserted--no ships, no steamers, no

laughter. Why is the Hoosac Tun-
