race whose soul is stained with the
blood of our people, who has sane
toned and perpetuated our ignor-
ance and degradation, who has IL
beled humanity and insulted heaven
in impiously defending human bond
age, who publicly denounces ANAL
gamation and privately practices it,
the less we have to do with Mr..
Carlisle and the race to which he
belongs the nobler will be Our man.
hood, the brighter will be our civil
zatiOn, tho purer will be our virtue.
Great applause. Though ma
tive of this country, it has been
my fortune to pass most ofmy good
fortune to pass most of my life in
the Old World, where, in associa-
ton with a cultiyatad civilization.
l have acquired some principles of
taste, some feelings of pride and
some notions of propriety, founded
as trust, upon wisdom and dis
elimination; and I could conceive
Of no greater misfortune than being
compelled to associate upon terms
Of equality with a man, whatever
might be his official position, whose
ignorance of law, absence Of logic
and constructive dishonesty, incite
feeling Of supreme contempt. Sen
sation.
"As Mr.. Carlisle seems to be the
most intelligent representative of
his kindred, and standard-bearer of
their principles, I commend his un-
just and wicked utterance to your
serious consideration; and after
they have been heard, and by every
colored man in the country, l am
sure the earnest prayer which will
go up from every heart will be:
Good Lord, deliver us from all
social equality with Mr.. Carlisle and
the race to which he belongs /
would advise Mr.. Carlisle to always
stay in this country, and above all
never to go outside of Kentucky OF
he may realize that his white face,
which seems to have no other merit
to recommend him, could not be
received in the Old World, where
there Is the highest development of
the Anglo Saxon race, in those
charmed circles of social equality
which recognizes the Fatherhood Of
God and the brotherhood of man.
Great applause.) -.
Il have understood that in this
State, which clings more tenaciously
to slavery than any other, and
which has not yet recognized the
manhood of the negro, that there is
black man from Tennessee who is
now canvassing the State in the in
terest of the white mans party. It
is hardly possible to conceive of
greater crime, or of deeper ingrati
tude than to see black man born
in Tennessee, whose back or that of
his blood-kin, has felt the lash of
oppression, of which the white mans
party is the champion; who has
heard the dying groans and shrieks
OF our brethren who have been mur-
dered by slavery; who in his own
person has suffered every indignity
which slave laws and slave public
sentiment inflicted, advising black
.len to vote their liberty away, and
by solemn act to surrender their
manhood.
"May this wretch who renders
Infamous the name of Elias Polk,
enjoy the contempt which his de-
pravity merits. Sensation. May
he receive the ineffable brand of q
traitor, SO that all good men and
women may scorn him, wherever he
appears. Loud applause.l May
the church of which he is member
expel him in disgrace as being un-
worthy to associate with Christian
people. Great applause amid cries
of good" May the community
in which he lives Indignantly point
him out OF, their midst as foul blot
upon humanity. Loud applause. !
May every black race that he meets
shun him as a loathsome toad and
kissing viper. [Great applause
amid cries of approval May
heavens judgment deprive him of
sight, that he may no longer see the
liberty that he is endcavoring to
betray. [Great applause.l May he
