said, - ratify the nominations OF the republican
party m this state that party had adopted
the Thirt eenth amendment to the national constfu'
ton. which forever prohibited slavery in this coun
try; because that party had also adopted the Four
teenth amendment, which settled the rights OF
citizenship and Representations; and because that
party had furthermore adopted the Fifteenth amend
ment, which regulates the right OF suffrage without
regard TO color or previous condition or servitudc.
The republican party has made the white men OF the
country think more OF themselves than they formerly
did, aud now no decent white man thinks Of insult

MIR. ADAMS was here introduced and entertained
the audience with song, entitled "Woodiord's
Dream" whose burden was that Governor Holman
was 'going up Salt river" u was sung TO familiar
tune and the audience received 1t with tremendous
applause and joined Ii the chorus.
The Rev. WILLIAM r. BUTLER was the first regular
speaker. He thanked God and the people that he
had been privileged be the nrs colored speaker to
address the first cOl0red republican ratification meet
ing that had ever beon gathered IA New York; and
he looked upon the meeting as an evidence OF what
the coored people will do at the polls next ovem-

but in that God who had brought them into that new

sell their votes TO the democratic party. He had heard

vantage had any right TO vote against the interests
OF his race or people ana give up everything gained
by the war; Could he strip the audience he would
find many stripe still on their backs which were
laid there by the democratic party. The audience
could forget the dark days Of slavery and the
Fugitive Slave law the darker days OF July 1863,
and they owed nothing to the democratic party
either under the fifteenth amendment or any other,
and he hoped that every colored man who should
vote for the democratic ticket next month would be
marked. Mr. Buffers speech was SO full ofludlcrous
humor that thu audience were kept continually in
rOarS OF laughter.
United States Marshal GEORGE H. SHARPE was the
next speaker lie recognized the privilege OF adj
dressing the audience the proulest in his lie.
His address was composed mainly OF moral renee
rature He had nothing to say against the demo-
cratic party, but he made strong appeal for their
support OF the republican party. There are three
great phases, he said, In our national life. The first
was when we separated from The mother country
we put down internal revolution, and We are now in
the thrd phase, trying to maintain the purity OF our
country under heaven. OF what use, 'H he asked Is

Mr. Wright, OF Albany who had swallowed five
hundred pages OF Webster5 unabridged made a
choice selection from his supper apologizlnR for
his attenuated form. and then sang "John Browns
Body Marching On" with modern variations. The
audience Joined heartily in the chorus. General
Hyte, OF Kentucky, and others followed with brief
addresses, and the meeting terminated at a late
hour. Some OF the old darkies 'g0t glori0us,u and
shouted and cneefed II they would raise the roof
or the building and pledged themselves with all
their might to sustain the republican party and It's
candidates.
