proved too much for them. He made
= speech that for simple pith and point
beats Webster or Red Jacket. He
said. 81 - --.--.r- y,

said, il is high time that we were up
and doing. It is high time that the
colored people were looking to their
interests. do not zee things exactly
as you do. You do not know q color
cd man when You zee him, except yon
chance to run upon him just before an
election. Then you notice him, and
even would like to have him make a
speech at your gathering, After de-
.claring in the great Declaration that
all men are equal, why did you oppose
making black men your equals ct the
polls for almost ninety years ?and then
only admitted us because you were
forced to? Gentlemen, ] am Repub-
lican, and can never be anything else.

see how any colored man can vote with

After this speech some of the Demo
Gratis yelled, "Take him out!' "shui

the House refused to concur.
MI. Blakely's dog bill then came up
for which substitute was offered pro-
viding that all dogs be listed according
to their value, and for the killing of all
dogs not 80 assessed, and permitting
the killing of dogs whether listed or
not, SO long as the killer was willing to
pay the assessed value.
A few risible remarks were made
upon this bill by Mr.. Ainsworth, who
said, IF the bin passes, who can tell
how many vacant chairs there may be
in this hail before the close of this ses-
sion, - the provision of the bill permit
the killing Of all dogs not assessed, and
as it il claimed that we have quite a
