Samuel Record of Buckfeld, arrived at the
New Haven depot, in New York, on Saturday
evening, on his way home. Strolling along
the platform, he was aceosted by young man
of gentlemanly appearance, who, after few
moments conversation, delighted Mr.. Record
by saying that he was a native of Maine,
and would be his companion as far as
Portland. He also asked Mr.. Record to call
with him on his mother and sister, who were
to be his companions on the journey, and
who were staying at house few blocks
above the depot. Mr.. Record accompanied
his friend to the house designated, where, to
the apparent astonishment of his companion,
no mother and sister were to be found. The
confidence man explained that they had prob
ably gone out Tor few moments to make
some purchases, and asked Mr.. Record if he
would not lend him $40 until they returned.
Mr.. Record gave the man the money, and the
two walked back to the depot, and then re-
turned TO the house. At the request of the
confidence man, Mr.. Record waited outside
on the sidewalk. An hour passed, and then

to draw blanks the first thing in life, ant
are there not some men that always draw
first prizes?
Can any man estimate what would have
been the difference Of his own condition i
he had been born black9 All your pros
poets in life would have been summarily
changed. Ten thousand unnamed chances
have come to you because your form was
skillfully knit! To have been born eau

under which you happened to come. II
seems to men strange that there should be
such inequalities--and it is strange:
But then, the perversion OF ii IS TINS :;
that men assume to despise those that are
less favored than they; that men regard
those that are born feeble, and that the
shiftless by reason of weakness and in
sufficiency, as poor trash in society, and
as having but little right and no claim for
respect. And if men belong to an ill-fa-
yored race, there is scarcely one single
consideration that obtains of honor and
dignity between men of their own class
and themselves, that is not violated toward
those that have colored skin. The races
are coming into competition. and the ar
rogance, contempt, and spirit of domino
ton which are being shown on account of
physical differences, are filing the earth
with cruelty, wickcdness and crimes.

We need to learn respect for men, more

adventitious and extrinsic reasons which
have sprung up in the artificial relations

which no machinery that ever mankind in
vented was worthy to be thought of for one
moment; these bodies, so full of possibili-
ties, SO full of skill and pleasure, and ten
thousand impulses, are Gods gifts to you,

for neglect, but for honor, for purity, for

The article from the Chicago Tribune
which we copy in our columns is no sur
prise to those who are acquainted with
the recent course Of that paper. Its efforts
in the late election to disorganize the re-
publicans were notorious, and as unsuc-
cessful as notorious. An attempt to re-
organize national parties upon the basis
proposed is impracticable, and if persist.
ed in will be a failure. Even the New
York Post. the main pillar of the Free
Traders. repudiates the article of the
Chicago paper, and SCOTS at the idea Of
uniting with democrats to reform the civil
service or promote free trade.
