REV. ANDERSON TAYLoR's SPEECH
Rev. Anderson Taylor. COL, of Rich
mond, Va, delivered a political address
Monday night last, in Staunton, in behalf
OF the Coalitionists. He had spoken at Har-
risonburg during the day, but did not seem
to be at all worn OF fatigued by his work.
Other engagements prevented our hearing
the whole Of his speech, but what we did
hear was presented in clear and forcible
manner and abounded in solid facts. He
is evidently well posted and had his SUBJ
Jects well arranged. His presentation of
the debt question showed a thorough ac-
qualntance with it's details and full APP
probation of the Importance of maintain
ing the settlement as made under the Rid
dleberger Bill. He understood the school
question thoroughly, and held stoutly to
the idea Of separate schools, with colored
tOoCiC1o LII CUloItu SCuUOlS dHu Wn1Uo |
teachers for white schools, as pre-emi- |
nently the desire Of the colored people |
His reasoning on this question was sound
and logical throughout and was manly
plea for the rights Of his people. He
claimed that the colored people, having
giyentheir labor for over 200 years to help
educate the white race. were entitled to
help now from the whites to give his peo-
pie a fair start in the race of life
The idea of social equality and mixed
marriages was utterly repudiated, and no
one could have listened to the earnest and
touching appeals OF the speaker and not be
convinced of his sincerity and the justice
of his cause. The pathetic manner in
which he asked that his people be let alone
and not hindered in their efforts to ad-
vance themselves in education and moral
ity, was touching and must have met the |
approval of every honest mind. His ad-
vice to his people was good his appeals for |
their rights appropriate, and his words of !
counsel were wise and discreet An adj |
dress of such high character from one who |
by his appearance is q genuine negro,
speaks well for his race and marks degree |
of improvement both surprising and graf
flying.
