GRASD sACifFM AND GrNrLrNrS We have as-
sernbled for the purpose of celebrat ng the
ninety y-scvonth anniversary of American lnde-
pendence, the eighty fourth OF the Tammany
Sucety of the Columbian Order: but the first
real anniversary of American Freedom In the
United states Of America. | am proud to know
tina, tho men who are supposed 10 he the great
est enemies to colored men are the first to shake
hands across the bloody chasm OF politics by IN
Yting colOred man to address them to-day. Tho
Republicans, claiming to he the especial custo-
dians of colored people. hold anniversaries to-
day, hut no coloted people are invited to part
tCipate. In consideration of these facts colorcd
people should bc awake, aud should look to see
who really their friends and not trust to
those who are making great professions. II Is
true that the Republican party claims to be the
express custodian Of the colored people. and In
order to prove this they have passed a law in

Application was ti@' made to a Liberal hepub-

the case When the ease was taken before "a
Republican court u was decidt under Rep b.

theatre. Thus they make loud rotestations OF
what they intend to do. but carry nothing into
practice. Tins Is not the Ony Instance OF the
kind.
They have promised many fat places to Innp-

How have they redeemed their pronsesY by
allowing these influential men who have spent
money and time ~ their service to ne appointed
to the high and digniied position OF sticet

when they will Law their bruoms aside and with
