ored citizens of this District, assembled at the
residence of DIR. A. Il. Augusta, and, headed bv
Donchs brass band, proceeded to the residence
OF Hon. Charles Sumner for the purpose of ten

4. Augusta introduced Mr.. Sumner as the ablest
statesman in the country and best friend to the
colored race Mr.. Sumner spoke as follows:
Friends and Ftilolc.cit,.eps: I am touched by

TO thank you from the heart.
In seeing you on tiiis occasion / think of Won
Only as personal friends, among whom L have
hved more than twenty years. During this con-
siderable period changes have occurred of in
calculable importance to the country. but
especially to the colored people. (GOOd enough

The colored man, though cot a slave was
degraded. He was not allowed 30 testify ia
court; he was shut out from the public schools;
he was excluded from the public coCvevarces
and thrust away from the ballot box. Put here

or limited in any of these rights YOU now enjoy
lApplause and three cheers Tor Mr.. Sumner.I
Most sincerely DO I congratulate you on these
signal triumphs, so little to be expected when /
inst became acquainted with you. And when
we consider the brief period in which they have

enactment of a civil rights bill, which shall re-
lieve the citizen, whoever he may be, from any
exclusion or discrimination on account of his
color. Only then will be established that equal
lty before the law to which now, for the first
time in cur history, all political parties are dig
tinctly pledged. Here there can be 10 question.
IAYplause.l 1t is in the platforms OF all. OF the

Then will you have all the assurance of your
rights that can be found in the Constitution aud
law. But that law will be the cap-stOne. APP
plause.l shall not disguise from you that some
thing more will be needed. There must be
constant watchful public opinien behind, to sec
that these are enforced in letter and spirit.
Here there must be no failure in ay;akcninf and
invigcrating this public opinion. You can do
much would almost say, you car DO every
thing. How constantly have i urged, in public
speech and III all nv intercourse with you, that
orr cClored feilow.CitZens must iHsist upon their
nights always, hy petition, by speech, and by
vote.
Above all. never vote for any man who is not
true TO you. Make allegiance to you the meas
uTe of your support. So doIsg. ali parties will
seek your vote. lCheers You will be felt and
your cause will be irresistible. Please accept
these few words as my acknowledgment of
Your kindness this evening. lCTies, Ego on
From long acquaintance you know something's OF

have sought to serve you, and always to the end
shall seek 10 serve you. To your cause my life
lie dedicated, and nothing can turn me from il;
nothing can tempt me or drive NE from its sup
port. lApplause.l
The audience at the serenade was mainly
white. there being, perhaps, a dozen colored
men present.
