iilpon the altars of your State and country
your cherished prejudice Of birth and edu-

paralleled in history-and you will be bless

citizens, that you may be. You nave re-
deemed Virginia. The widest IMAGINATION

the future, and your children and mine VIII
bless the sacrifices and energies by which, in
our time Of duty, that victory mas been
achieved. .....-... ..
A COLORED MAN SPEAKS.
Isaac Hunter, an intelligent colOred man
of rood address, was then introduced by
Mr.. Daniel, and spoke at considerable
length. He commenced with words OF con-
cratulation to the immense concourse be-
fore hlm upon the glorious victory achieved,
not bv white men nor by colored men alone,
but by the great emancipation party OF Nlr-
rinia. The recent struggle was not for the
freedom of the blacks. They were already
free. It was struggle for the emancipation
of thirty thousand white men. He predicted
Il glorious future for the state, now lnat
color was no longer to be the line Of poiitl-
cal demarcation and besought his fellow
citizens to show charity towards the mis-
o1Iided persons Of his own color who had
cone for the defeated ticket. They would
soon rallv to our standard; and even now
they should share the beneficence OF the
good government which our suiirages have
secured.
