Fred Douglass.

This eminent cross between the white
and black of the human race has ere
atcd II sensation in Nashville by tho
address he delivered in that city last
week at the Fair Grounds OF the color
ed people. The Nashville Banner re-
ported his address so accurately and
lively that the co!ored orator himself
said he was highly gratlilcd-whicll
must have been quite soothing to the
Banners love Of admiration. We
would be glad if it were possible foi
us to publish his address 10 the Home
journal, upon the score that newspa.
oers ought to disclose all that is going
on of n pubic nature. The orators

publish in our next, because 1t is really
a sensible talk which white people vii.
appreciate but will fall still born upon
the blacks, who are the very oncs we
wish could have heard it. Ncvcrthe
less, Fred Douglass is The star among
the colored people, and what he says
will have more weight than if same, or
better things were said by any white
person. 1t may be only a r"se of his
to get his words in print, and we rath-
err think it is, for he knows that the
press, in general, and the powero Of the
belong TO white control. He

In the Republican Convention OF
ASntabula county, Ohio, which met on
Monday of last week, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted
'R.soirei. That the late act of Congress
commonly called the Salary bill meets
with our hearty condemnation. both in
its retroactive and prospective increase OF
salaries, aud we most unqualiiicdly con-
denim the authors, supporters, and signcrs
of the bill. and we call upon our Repre-
sentative in Congres, to use his best eff
forts for the repeal OF the same"
1t will be observed that the Rcpub
Leans of A~shtabula county do not
think it necessary for the President TO
have $4,000 a year in addition to the
great perquisitcs and allowances now
given him by Congress. They are for
the repeal of the whole bill and they
are right.- New York Sun.

FORESTS FAITH.-The great actor,
Edwin Forrest, short time before his

81 do not know the time, since when
boy | blew sportive bladder in the
beamy sun, that my mind was ever so
tranquil and serene as in the present
hour. Having proited by the leisure
given me by my heightened illness, Sc
riously to review the past and carefully
consider the future, both for time and
eternity l have with, a classified spirit,
beheld with many regrets, that there
was much in the past that might have
been improved; more, perhaps, in the
acts Of omission than in acts of commits
sion, for feel sustained that my whole
conduct has been actuated solely by an
honest desire to adhere strictly to the
rule of right; that the past has been
characterized, as | trust the future will
be, to love my friends, to hate my ene-
mies-for cannot be a hypocrite-and
to live in accordance with the divine
precept: AS We would that men should
do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
"And now for that 'higher welfare
of which you speak. | can only say
that believing, as | sincerely do. in the
justice, the mercy, the wisdom and the

Too GOOD TO BE nOsT.-A friend
OF ours relates the following story,
which is a good ONE
"a traveller whom we afterwards
knew once arrived at village inn. af.
ter hard days travel, and being very
tired, requested room to sleep in, but
the landlord said they were entirely
full, and it was utterly impossible to
accommodate him-that his wife had to
sleep on the sofa, and himself on the
floor; but that he wonld see what his
wife could do for him. The good
woman on being applied to, said that
there was room which he might oc.
cupy, provided he would agree to the
condition, viz: to enter the room late
in the dark, and leave it early in the
morning, to prevent scandal as the room
was occupied by a lady. This he
agreed to. About two o'clock that
night, an awful noise was heard in the
house. and our friend the traveller, was
found tumbling heels over head
down stairs. On our landlord arriving
at the spot and inquiring what was the
matter, the traveller calculated, as soon
as he was able to speak
ooh! Lord, that woman's deadr'
81 know that" said the landlord,
"but how did you find it out?"

YOUNG America has little mercy to
expect at the hands of Henry Ward
Beecher In serman recently Mr..
Beecher advocated the judiccious fog
ging of the rising generation "Don't
be afraid" he said, "to do what God
does; all creation is whipped by him,
and you need not be afraid to use the
switch" Inefficient switchings, how
ever, he condemned; when you whip
lay it on hard, so that it will hurt.
We are afraid Mr.. Beecher would be
pronounced shockingly heterodox by
the boys and girls of the period.
