Mr.. wilson thought that, with the unity Of
the states assured, the authority OF the Gov
rights, civil aud political, of the colored race
made certain, the Republicans OF Massachu-
astts should demand ths removal Of the remain
Ing disabilities imposed by the Fourteenth
Amendment; so that, when on the Fourth OF
July next tho republic enters upon It's second
centennial, none shall be found Iaboring under
those disabilities. He concluded by urging the
unincaton Of oil the Republican elements for
grand and sweeping victory in November.
The speech was not, on the whole, received
with much warmth. though when Mr.. Wilson
spoke his convictions in favor Of hard money
ohsre was hearty applause.
