that both dispatches were received on the

coincidence, but almost indisputable evil

In all the northern states and in some Of the

southern states these rights are denied you, you
must remember and make due allowance for the
opinions and prejudices of ages, and for your en-
forced ignorance the necessary result Of slavery.
But it Is certain that these prejudices will dsap

that you can win by your moderation and good
conduct the respect aud confidence Of the sons
Of those who held you your ancestors as slaves.
Your labor Is the most valuable commodity tn
the south and you own it. IL Is the great factor
10 your hands, and in time will command for you
comfort, honor, independence and civil and polit
cal rights. Be not impatient or discouraged,
and as sure as God reigns In infinite power and
Justice, your rights as written In the constitu-
ton Of the United States will be respected and OBJ
ssfved, like those Of all other ctizsns in every
state and territory Of this republic.

Provided 1t Was a Foreign One and Our
Cause Was Just
WASHINGTON CrTY, Dec. 20 In the course
OF speech in support of the Nicaragua canal
bill in the house yesterday. Oates OF Alabama
said that from every standpoint the enter
prise commended itself to him. He did not
think that the prosecution Of the enterprise
would involve the country in q foreign war;
but while he would not welcome a war at
any time, he was not sure that il the cause
Of the United States was just, foreign war
would be of detriment to this country. He
was apprehensiye that nothing would ever
completely eradicate ssctionalism in this
country except foreign war; and if it lad
no other beneficial result. such war ff It
was not very great and very expensive
cneI would be worth the outlay.
Herbert of Alabama conceded with the
views OF his colleague
Scott of Pennsylvania said that as far as
he was concerned he was ready not only
to vote for the construction OF the canal but
(if he could get the opportunity to vote the
money out of the treasury to control it. II
the country had a foreign war naval dset
placed in Lake Nicaragua, with the power
to go to the Atlantic or Pacific ocean, would
be equivalent to two fleets of any other mil
