Very Truly Yours.
FRED'K. DOUGLASS,

THE editor Of the New York Age
draws the color line over our PROPOSE
ton to erect monument to the men,
ory of the life and character of John
Brown, and suggests that Nat. Turner
stands more in need Of one. We have
no fault to find with his suggestion;
but when he sluringly remarks "that
whenever colored men move that some
body's memory be perpetuated, that
somebody's memory is always white
MANS" he helps to sustain the charge
made against us by the whites of the
South, "that it is the colOred people
who draw the color llne.'' We have
always been Of the opinion that the
character and good acts of man were
worthy of emulation and perpetuatiOn,
and not his color. But the young gen.
tleman who edits the Age makes color
the condition of action towards erect
ing monument in honor of one who
broke the chains from about his neck
and made him free to act for himself.
The suggestion made by the LEADER
has led the Age to discover no good
traits In Nat. Turner's character that
precedes his being black. NAT.
Turner was black hero. He preferred
death to slavery. He ought to have a
monument. White men care nothing
for his memory. We should cherish
it."
Nat. Turner has been dead many
years, and the editor of the Age has
never found time to suggest monu-
ment for him until now, and he
only suggests it now in opposition
to one being erected in honor
OF John Brown, because he was
so fortunate or unfortunate as to be
born white. Prejudice among the
white people Of this country is dying
out; but the editor OF the Age would
encourage it among the blacks. This
is not wise nor just, but what does the
Age care? We trust you will get
straight on this matter. If you wish to
slur at the proposer of a monument for
John Brown, do so: but don't set up
such a ridiculous strain Of reasoning as
an objection, based on color. You can
do better we know, if you will only
try.

Victim to Heavy Betting.

A Connecticut chap Is reported who
bet all his cash and convertible property
on Cleveland's reelection. Then he
mortgaged his house and furniture and
bet that. Then he had his life insured,
and his wife's, and bet the insurance.
Then he agreed to pay a neighbor's
grocery bill if Harrison was elected, or
live In cave that he would dig in a
sand hill until Harrison's Inauguration.
He has his cave finished, and is in it;
while his wife, whI is sick, is on the
charity of her neighbors. Such fel-
