The Cleveland Exodus to Mentor.
MENTOR, O., Oct 2O.-A delegation of
$50 colored men of Cleveland visited
Gen. Garfield this afternoon. In re-
Spouse to an address by the chairman
the General said:
Gentlemen: have listened careful
ly to what your speakers have said.
have noted your manifestations of ap-
plause at the special points of their re-
marks. ALI the time since the great
struggle for equal rights in this country
eliminated in war, l have studied your
problem with no little solicitude It
was difficult problem, not for you only
but for US, and equally difficult for the
men who lately held you in slavery.
OF all the problems that any nation ever
confronted, none was ever more difficult
than that of settling the great race ques-
ton which your existence upon this
continent brought to our people and set
Ting on this basis of broad justice and
equal rights to all It was tremendous
trial of the faith of the American peo-
pie, tremendous trial of the strength
of our institutions. 1t was not
| for your sake alone that the
thoughtful men of this country struck
| slavery and said it must die. 1t was
| certainly a good reason why slavery
ought to die, that it wronged your race,
but it was equally good reason why it
| ought to die because 1t was dangerous to
the peace and prosperity of the white
race, and to the stability of the republic.
| We are always inclined to express too
much sympathy with the man who sui
| fers wrong; that is right, but we ought
also to express anxious solicitude for the
man who does the wrong, for in one
very important sense he is more to be
pitied than the victim. If a man muir
ders you without provocation your soul
| bears no burden of the wrong, but all the
| sod N nela nj tho nniuapSa xH-ill for
the misguided man who committed the
murder. And so, l say, the men who
enslaved your race were wronging them
selves as well as you. To protect
! them from being wrong-doers and
shield your race from suffering wrong,
was the mighty problem which was
solved by the abolition of slavery
Now, fellow citizens, after the fierce
struggle of the war, after Lincoln had
given utteranee to the great thoughts
that the centuries of slavery had COM
mitted SO great sin that without the
shedding of blood there was no remis-
sion of sin, and that our war was the
bloody expiatiOn for that sin; then
when you were free by the proclamation
of Lincoln and by the amended constitu-
ton that gave you citizenship, your
problem was not solved What is free
dom without the intelligence to use it?
What is freedom without virtue and in
telligeuce combined 10 make it not a
curse, but blessing? You were not
made free merely to be allowed to vote,
but in order to enjoy an equality of OPP
portunities in the race of life, and to
stand equal before the law. Permit no
? man to praise you because you are black,
nor wrong you because you are black.
Let it be understood that you are ready
: and willing to work out your own ma
: terial salvation by your own energy,your
} own worth, your own labor All that
| liberty can do for you, is to give you
; fair and equal chance within the
, limits of the constitution, and by the ex-
ercise of its proper powers. 1t is tie
| purpose of the best men on this CONT
: nent to give you an equal chance and
: nothing more. congratulate you on
7 the great advance your race has already
{ made under liberty. l have seen your
l representatives in congress, and one OF
, them in the senate. ! have seen them
] behave with such good restraint, good
e judgment, modesty and patriotism, thai
e it has given new hope that all theiI
: brethren will continue TO climb up to
D ward the light with every new oppor
2 tunity. l will not effect to be any more
your friend than thousands of others.
: do not pretend even to be particularly
7 your friend, bat only your friend Will
