Statements Of Fred Douglass in Regard TO
Mr. HumneP,s letter,

NEW YORK, Aug PA Washington dis
patch says that Frederick Douglass to day, in
referring to Mr.. Summers last letter TO Professor
White, said he did not sympathize with this
attempt to iasten upon the president an act of
which he is not guilty. The truth is, said MIR.
Douglass, had been nsulted while on the mail
steamer coming up the Potomac to Washington
with the commission, and when | learned that
the president had entertained the commissioners
at dinner felt that, by not Inviting me to dine
with them, an opportunity had been lost Tor re-
bukng that insult. | never believed that the

faithful to his highest conviction. Well friends,
there is much said about aspiration and amhi-
ton in this country OF ours, and it is well that
individuals should be aspiring; it is not i'll that
they should be ambitious; the grand result of
these ties, the fOrwardment OF mankind, is ere

out, by the men who dare to be wiser 10 lay
than their fathers were day before Yesterday.
lApplause.l | can only say for that class,
he class Of whom ] am 4 representative, the
class who are said 10 be the agitators, this, that
many times, when man is accused OF absorb
