obeyed the Heavenly vision, and the de-
graded race-in the eyes of the jcws-were
grated in. I fear it would not be so with
our Democratic rulers, no matter how
much their Lord might visit them in
vislons-they would call it dream, and
not obey as Peter did. Cor the Lord

ed them to recognize the African, as Peter
did the samaritans.
Thought 2nd. While speaking so di-
minutively of the black race it reminded
me of a few anecdotes 1st. of the boy
who caught rabbit and carried him
along in his arms, praising him very
highly, calling him so sleek and fat, and
saying what good chicken pie he would
make. Soon the rabbit sprang out OF his
arms Boy cried, run you long-legged

or often leaps down upon its prey, and
coils around it, and gripes 1t till death
ensues. Well uncle E. what about that
gripping I? Be patient and I will give you
the application. Bat must link in one
or two more first. A neighbor of mine
in Ohio had some lean thin hogs and had
winding rails for his cornfeld fence; and
his thin hogs would follow the wind OF
the rail by going edgewise and get into
his corn. He hunted up timber that
had ono more twist to it and placed them
in his .ence Well what about that fence?
One more then an explanation Of all the
parallels A gentleman that had learned
by experience, said it was not the liquor
that made people stagger So 1t was the
crook of the worm. And now for the
application. First, the rabbit. When
the African was in bondage doing hard
labor and voting his master in office-then
he was in his masters eyes sleek and
nice. But when he runs to Canada or IS
released by honest old Abe, he then very
quick becomes good for nothing-poor
and lank-takes more butter than he is
worth. Well what about the extra grip?
The serpent, by his agents-the nabobs-
take stronger grip, and protect slavery
and hold it irm, and the north, to touch
not nor handle not, but the serpent must
take one extra turn, like that rail with
one more twist in it-well in taking that
winding grip it caused it's head to swim
and it began to stagger, and A Lincoln,
by his agent Gen. Grant, cut off the ser
penis head-slavery. And the head cries
out unwind, let him go, he is too poor, it
won't pay for the butter. But you for

overlooked that. Well these agents-na-
bobs-were like those thin hogs-they were
deceived. The hogs would follow up
the wind of the rail and come out the
same side they entered in at, and could
not oct in the field Of corn, Then it was
root hog, or die. So with those agents
thew did not get in that fine feld-now
while roofing, they grunt hard about
those whom they once compelled to root
for them. and tell of their leanness, and
prophesy of their downfall and eating
each other.
A few words or thoughts more, about
the intellect, or expansion Of the African
race, and am done. The speaker did
not give any history in his favor. Preju
dice hindered that. He did not tell us
that the black man invented the alphabet
and printing. He did not tell US how apt
he was in learping-how many had taken
the palm over the caucasian race at col
leoe-he did not speak of one male or
female that had made his or her mark
high on the temple Of fame. He said
nothing of the Queen of Beersheba; how
she came to see the wisdom of Solomon !
She possessed such a fund as to test his
in her view-like the poet wis
dom-we prefer, and gold is dross com
pared to her. He did not even mention
Douglass who went to England, and they
claimed none in all England superiot in
intellect. The African, IL is true, has been
kept in ignorance, bat there is germ in
his nature although beneath that
wooliy scalp spoken of, when brought in
with the light Of science and art
which expands and spreads her wings
until it reaches the highest round Of
human ambition. And the speaker, or
his children, may yet live to see some
now on the stage, wLo will delve deep in
the minerals Of mountains depths and
tell his children, with unerring certainty,
the distance from world to world.
