heart of every liberty-loying man. An
event that obliterates all the black and
heinous laws which gave no protection
to the colored man. Aneyent that rev.
olutionizes the life and. prospects OF
every man of color, certainly is worthy
of celebration combining our grand

giving. Our displayls not one ofbOast-
ing; but only an expression ofthat hap
piness which all would feel who are sit
uated as we. The 4th day of the coming
month will be celebrated as the birth
day of the nation. To-day we celebrate

rights of men who have enriched youi
country by their labor. and who have
defended it with their blood. This day
we can say the education of our race Il
begun.
We may be centuries IN the rear in the
race for knowledge, but as the spell that
hung ovcrtlie world during the middle
ages vas broken by the energy Of Charlie
magne, who can tell but that devel.
| opement almostas rapid may follow al
event which has opened up to lis every
path of scielice and literature we may
wish to tread /? But labor must always
rule where Genius is wanting, and know.
ing that the eyes of the civilized worlt
are upon us, it Is for us to walk up

litical and civil life. BY this we may
expect to causeto melt away those pref
udices of the white race which are tou
almost as enslaving as the ordinances o
law. The man of color is sensible o
the position he occupies in the eyes o
his white brother. He knows that it l.
one ofinferiority, and we wish by as
semblies of this kind to show to yol
that we have sufficient civility to be cit
liens of Ohio, and sufficient talent t.
provoto you that your, sympathies viii
not be wasted when you extend to hin
the aid and favor due from highl,
favored race to one whose opportunitie
have been SO few. In conclusion, to our
selves, / would say, let this day be on
of true rejoicing; day when we cal
promise our nation and pledge ourselve
that the highest grant ofcivil rights will
not be souandered uDon us: a day whei
we can send greeting TO every freeman
North and South, and tell them that W,
in Ohio have not failed to meet and re
