our work better done. All gentlemen, the

FIFTEENTH ..AMENDMEA T.

The message of President Grant and
proclamation of Secretary Fish announc-
ing the ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment by a sufficient number CT States to
make it part Of the constitution, COM
pletes an important work in relation to the
colored people which emancipation re-
quired of US to perform. 1t was made
evident at an early day after the rebellion
that the action of the Southern States in
giving the right of suffrage to the freed
men would be reversed at the first oppor-
tunity, and that unless the right were fixed
in the national constitution it would be
worthless. Accordingly the amendment
was submitted to the States by Congress,
and now becomes part of the constitu-
ton.
The message of President Grant to Con-
gress upon the subject will strike the pub
lie as one of peculiar appropriateness and
well calculated to place in its true light
this important measure. 1t is, says he. Il
measure of grander Importance than
any other one act of the kind from the
foundation of our free government to the
present time" The raising of the negro
from the condition of Il slave to that of
tree citizen of the United States, equal to
his former master, lord of himself, and
having voice in the decision of public
measures and agents at the ballot box as
potent as the best, is indeed mighty
step. Henceforth the negro has his des-
tiny in his own hands. The recommends
ton which the President makes to the
newly eniranchsed race, ''to make them
selves worthy of their new privilege
tells them in those few words the duty
which has devolved upon them. All now
depends upon themselves. The oppor-
tunty is placed in their hands to improve
their condition. With freedom and the
right of suffrage they may be more miser-
able than in slavery; but with industry,
sobriety, morality and an earnest endeavor
to make the most of the advantage now
secured to them, they may rise in social
position and wealth and have a fair share
of representatives in the public Offices and
places of honor and trust. Scarcely less
important than his advice to the colored
people is the Presidents counsel to the
white race, to ''withold no legal privilege
of advancement from the new citizens"
The disposition to grudge the colored peo-
pie privileges is not dead yet. The pref
udice against their color, as well as their
former condition Of servitude and lack of
cultivation, operate against them, and
tend to deprive them in some cases of
rights and privileges which properly be-
long to them Still if the colored people
will start with the determination to do the
