where speeches were made by the same speak

Cain way good. Tie speakers premises
were based upon correct system Of ethics,
and the points Of his argument were strong.
II chaste and simple language and clear
enuncistion, he spoke 20 his colored friends
about "men and things" which most direct
ly concern them. Such as hog and homiry,
home influences, unjust taxation, which is
sapping their vitals, and retarding their pros
perity, &C., the need Of peace, aud 20 era of
prosperity. in which both raccs will under

That this was business.
I!c endorsed Gen Grant, but spoke kindly
Of Mr. Greeley, and closed his remarks by
ursing his coorcd hearers to remember that
they were on trial, and that ther must be
