Interview Between the PreFident
and a Negro Delegation.
A body of r.eoroes, healed by Fred
Douglass, on Wednesday visited the'
White llouso and were ushered into a
reception.
Kre<b l>out;ln?s advanced nnd address,
ed the President, saying :
"Mil. Piiksidknr ? We are not here to
enlighten you, sir, as to your duties as 1
llie t.'hicf Magistrate of this republic, but
to show our rtspect and present, in brief,
tiie claims of our race to four favorable
considerat'on. In the order of l>i?ine
j Providence you are p'a-el in'a p rsilion
| where ion have the power to save or do
slrov us ? to bless or blast us. 1 mean
| our whole race. Your noble and humane
predecessor placed in our hands the sword
to assist iu sarins the nation, and we do
hope that ve i, his able successor, will fai
Vnmh'v r?rv*? r.J lliu rv 1 ?/%'...? ? * *" 1 1
. ew^w.%. iko yavm? ?ii uur ui?nus
tl ? ballot which to sar? oursetres. W#
shall submit no argument on that poin'.
1 lie fact that we are the subjects of Guvi
eminent, and subject to taialion, subject
to *' ? awLjoet
to be drafted, subject to bear the
burdens of the State, make it not improper
that we should ark to ahare in the
pmilege of this cotdition. I hare no
speech to submit on thir occasion. 1 aimply
submit tlie*e ols?rvations as a limited
expression of the r;ews and feelings of
the delegation with which I here come."
The 1'resilient, after stating generally
that ha was a Iricnd to all men, both
black an<l while, said :
4 If I k now mrrelf and the feelings of
my own heart, they hare been for the
colored man. I hare owned stares and
bought slave*, but I never sold one I
might ist, boA*?er, that practically, *o
fur as mv connect on with slave* ha*
gone, 1 hays been their slave instead of
their being mine. &ome have even fol
lowed me here, while other* are orupyi
ing and ei joying my property with mv
eonsent. For the colored race my mean*
my lime, my all have been perilled ; and
now, at this late day, sfter giving evi
dence tbat is tangible, that * practical, I
am t'ree to ?ay to you that I do not like
to l>? arraigned by some who c.-*? get up
handsomely rounded periods and deal in
rhetorical talk about abstract id*** of liberty,
who never perile! life, liberty or
property. Th>* kind of theoretical, hollow,
unpractical friendship amounts to
bit very l<ttle. NVLile I say that I am
a friend to the colored man, I do not
want to adopt a pol:oy that I believe
will end in a content between the races,
which, if perg'ated in, will result in the
e*terinination of one or the other. God
forbid that I should be engaged in such
a work.
Now, it is best to talk practically and
in a common ?eu?e war. Yes, I have
said, and I repeat here, that if the colon
eJ men in the United States could find
no other Moses or ?ny Moses that would
ba mure able and efliciant than myself, I
would be hit Mosea to lead him from
bondage to freedom; that I would pass
him from a laud where he had lived in
tlavery, to a land?if it were in our
reach?of freedom I Yes, I would be
willing to pass with him through the Red
sea and uia land or promise to the land
of liberty. But I am not willing, under
either circumsUocea, to adopt a policy
which I l>el;e*e will only result in th?
sacrifice of his hfe and the shedding o
' his blood. I think I know what I say
j I feel what I say, and I feel well assured
I that if the policy urged by some be per1
bisted in, it will result iit great injury to j
the white 14k well as to the oulore 1 matt. ,
There it a great deal of talk about the ]
sword in one linnci accomplishing an end |
anil the ballot accomplishing another at I
the ballot box. These things all do very I
well, and sometimes have forcible apjdi. I
cation. We talk about justice. We ta.k |
?1 _ i.. it' '
ituiiui rigor. >>6 say Unit the white
man liah been in the wrung in keeping >
the black man in slavery as loon as In
has. That is all true. Again, we talk
about tbe Declaration of Independence
ami equality before tbe law. Vou tin'
ders'.unl all that and ktiow how to a;?
preciate it. Hut now let us look each
other in lite face ; let us go to the great
mass of colored people throughout the
slave States ; let its tske the condition in
which thev are at the present lime, ami
it is bad enough wo all know, and sup
pose yon could say to every one you shall
vote to-morrow, bow would it ameliorate
their condition at this time ? Now, let J
us get closer tip to true subject and talk I
about it. \\ hat relations have the color.
e<l man and the white tnau occupied in I
the Fouth heretofore ? 1 oppose slavery j
upon two grounds: First, it was a great J
monopoly, enabling 11 ?c.se who ti nlrollvd j
and owned it to constitute an aristocracy
; enabling the few to drire great j-to.
fits and rule the many with an iron rod
a* it were. And that is one great ol-jec'
lion to ti in ii government, its belt.*: h
monopoly. I was opposed to it secondly
upon the abstract principle of slavery*.?
Hence, in gelling clear of a monopoly, we I
were getting clear of slavery at the same
lime. So you see there were lw^? right
ends accomplished in the accomplishment
of the oue.
Mk. Doi'ulabs.?Mr. PresiJent,do yon
wish
Thk I'kkridkst.?I am not quite
through vet. Slavery has been abolish
wv. , ? national guaranty oi* ( en
given?one that cannot be revoked. I
wa.? getting at the relation that subsisted
between the white man and the colored
man. A very sm til portion of white
men, compared with the whole number
of such, owned the colored people ot the
cl . I f 1 -
csoutn. i nngni instance tin) iState <.l
Tennessee in illustration. lucre were
l?entj?s?ven non-slaveholders lo ofie
slaveholder, ami yet the slave power con
trolled that Slate. Lei us talk about litis
matter ?? it is. Although the colored
inan was in slavery there, and owned as
I property in the sense and in the language
! of that locality and of that community,
yet, in comparing his condition and his
i position there with the rioti slaveholders,
he usually estimated his importance j'JH
; in proportion to the number of slave*
that hla master owned, with the uom
slaveholder. Have you ever lived upon
| a plantation ?
Mr. Douglass.? 1 have, your Kx Ceil en
cy. +
, Tlie President.? When you would 'ook
over and see a man who had a Urge
family struggling hard upon a poorer
; piece of land, vou thought a ivreat deal
| le>a of him than yon did of your mas
I ler !
Mr. Douglass.? Not I.
The President.? Well, I know such
was the case with a Urge ztiaj >iity of you
in those sections. Where such is the case,
we know there is an enmity, we know
there is a hale. The poor while man, on
the other hand, was opposed to the slave
and liin master, for the colored man and
, his master combined kept hiiu in slavery
| by depriving him of a fair participation
iu the labor ar.d productions of tl.e rich
1 land of the country. Don't you know
that when a colored man is going to hunt
a master, as they call it, for the next year
they will prefer living with a man win
owned slaves rather than with one win
did not. I know the (act at a!i events.
Mr. Douglass.?because they treated
| him better.
The President.?They did not considei
I it quite as respectable there to a man win
> did nut own negroes *s to hire tu ono v*hc
cl it| .
Mr. Douglas*.?llecaute he would no
be treated an well.
11 Tbe President.?Then lb at is a nothe
f| argument in faeor of what I am going I
. J say. It shows that the colored man an
I . predated the slave-holder more liighl
I than bo did the man who did not ow
alave*: hence the enmity between the
colored man anal the nor slave-holder*.
I'lie w liite man was permitted to vote
before iho Governmenl w as derived from
him. Ho is a part arij parrel of tlie
political machinery. Now, by rebellion
or revolution, and when you come back
to the ohvcta to this war. vnu find ihaf.
the abolition of slavery was not one of
the objects. Congress und the President
himself declared that it was waged on our
p.irt in oider to suppress '.he rebellion.
The abolition of sdavtry has come a* au
incident to the suppression of a great re?
hellion. As an incident, and as an no
cordanf, we shou'd give it the proper
direction. The colored man went into
this rebellion a slave ; bv the operation
of the rebellion 1 e carne out a freedmnn,
equal to a .Veil man in any other portion
of the country. There, then, is a great
deal done lor him on thin point. The
nnn*tdave*hoh!er, who was forced into the
rebellion, and w as as loyal as those who
i.rid h?vond the limit or the State, was
c.uriiel into it, and his property, and, in
a number of instances, the lives of such
were sacrificed, and ho who lias survived
lias Coine out of it with nothing gained,
but a gre ?t deal lost. Now upon a prim
c'ple of j istice, should they be placed in
a condition different from what they
were hsfore i On the one hand, one I.aa
lost a ijreat deal, aid in a political point
id vieiv, scarcely stands where be did l*r
fore. Now we arc talking about what
j we ?re go ng to argue. 'A ? have got at

for passion at.d excitement to be appeased,
and without time for the slightest improvement,
whether the one should he

this enmity ai;d hate existing between
them I The query comes up, will we
