not attempt too much at once. Do what
you can afford this time, and put off the
other things to another time. Don't try to
build too much and too fast. Don't buy
ut once all the furniture you would like to
see in your house. Improve and increase
your implements and stock by degrees. a
little that is paid for is far better than much
that you owe for. Debt, bankruptcy and
distress come often from Eurdcning the

worked like a charm. Another had

Whether these gentlemen have the
full expectation they claim, or whether

earth" as much as if they still lived on
the old plantations. The southern ne
groes soon become acclimated in the
north, and at no cost to their physical
system. Mr.. Douglass is wrong.
Whether his errors are of the head or
heart, we cannot say. But 1t certainly
looks as if the functions of both have
for some time been suspended. Still
another error must be charged. to Mr..
Douglass. He takes it that the exodus
of the negroes rs caused simply because
they don't hold the local offices, and
are not sent to congress. Hear him:
There are no cplored men in the
house and only one in the senate. In
the breaking up of things, some of us
were tossed up to positions we could
not fill. AS the country settled down
to its normal state our dark heads dis
appeared. But / am not disposed to
despair for this. They came up prema-
turely, and they went down in the same
way; they came like the earthquake,
they went like the whirlwind. Slavery
was a poor school in which to develop
statesmen, and colored Legislatures
have proved this, etc.
If these words came from Ben Hill
instead of MI. Douglass, the colored
people might well ascribe them to the
fiery spirit of Ben's hate. But to
emanate from Dougless, it looks as if
he sacrificed sense and friendship for
oddity and originality. OF all the in
terviews with refugees published by the
democratic press, not one mentions that
the negroes are fleeing because they
cannot get offices. Yet Mr.. Douglass
endeavors to make it appear that office
holding lis the negro's ultima thule,
and his forced ~abstention from Office
the cause of his flight. This is not fair;
it is not honest; and, as, the friend of
the negro race, and the friend of OPP
preston wherever found, the LEADER
holds that Mr.. Douglass words are not
founded on a sense Of justice to the
colored race. Never before were his
u~tterances published in full and CON-
mended by the democratic press. Never
before were they of a character MS to
meet the views of that press. And
when any man is praised by his foes,
criticism, if not suspicion, is excusab.e.
