Can we Carry the Election ?
Advices from various points in the
line of battle assure us that it can be
done, but to secure so desirable an end
the people must work; put their shoul
ders to the wheel, and their hands into I
their pockets.
A Great Ally.
Napoleon has the sympathy of the
Rothschild's. This is worth an army
with banners and needle guns. The
wealth of gold possessed by these bank
ers is almost beyond computation.
Nearly all the Monarchs of Europe have
borrowed scores and hundreds of mil
lions of dollars from these Jewish money
princes, to prop up their empires.
T he Reducad Eates
At wi ich we offer the Herald is for
the purpose of advancing the cause of
Reform. Every man ought to subscribe
now and get full accounts of club meet
ings and doing, not only of Newberry
but of the whole State. The offer is open
for one month, after which it will be
closed. Show this to your next door
neighbor, reader.
Dcn't be Tardy.
The good work goes on. Newberry
town has formed its Reform Glub, and
chosen oflicers who will do their duty.
Let the whole district du likewise. We
want a club at every precinct, and easy
and quick lines of communication estab
lished between the whole, and each in
connection with the town club. In union
there is poz-ea. Let the connection be
made promptl. Report proceedings as
soon as clubs are formed, either to the
President of the town club, or to this
paper, and we shall be glad to publish1
the samte.
Refern Club Meeting..
Agreeably to notic a meeting of the
citizens of Newberry was held in this
town on Saturday last, Col. R. Moor
man called to the chair, and Mr. 0.
Schumpert appointed Secretary. After
the transaction of the necessary prelimi
nary business, the meeting adjourned to
meet on Monday afterr.oon following, at
which time having again assembled, a
constitution w a s adopted, Newberry
township divided into four divisions, and
a permanent president and four vice
presidents, two secretaries and one treas
urer eleted. The o@fcers chosen are as
follows: Mr. Thos. Moorman, President,
Mr. W. T. Tarrant, vice president of first
division, Dr. S. F. Fant, for second dlivi
sion, Dr. McIntosh, fo'r third, and Mr.
W. J. Lake, for fourth ; Mr. A. J. Mc
Caughrin and Mr. 0. Schumpert,Secreta
rics and Mr. John IHair, Treasurer. The se
lection of thiese omcers we think a most
adm;irable one. The Lieutenants, or we
should h:ave said vice presidents, have
the authority to appoint three subordi-1
nates each, to act with them in carrying
out the articles of the constitution.
On next Saturday the club will meet
again, at wehich ti-ne it is expected thatII
every citizen identiled with the good
cause of R~eform will be present.
The formation of this club, its prompt
and decisive action, its selection of ne-w
men, free from the objection of formert
political cins, shows now that we aret
moving ir. the right direction, and if the
whole district will act in accord, which
no one can doubt will be the case, victo
ry will and nist perch on our banners.

Camp Meeting at Bethel
The meeting at Bethel Camp Ground,

W. H. Fleming's district, whieh comn- a
anced on Wednesday, the 10th inst.,
W3. rmninated on Monday miorning sixa
hi'lcy public prayer. It was a h
higlyinesting meeting and largelyP
attended, bY'he'people of Laurens, as
well as by man; from Anderson, Abbe- c
Til,Spartanburg...d Newberry. On Sun
day it is estimated tkt there were about
two thousand pe'rsons 1-esent, and deep. B
Bi
ly impiressive and eloquen sernaan were
preiacbed respectively by th, Rev's. A. ol
J. stsTrd, at 8 o'clock, 0. A.' by at
10, Joel Cnrlisie. at 8, and Panl ;istler, j
at night These sermons were ot the 1
finest order, (as were ali that were deh~
cred during the meeting, of which mien
tion will be made next week,) and most
appropriate to the solemn occasion, and
the immnense throng which gathered un-2
der and around the lrge stand, and the
wedges which were entered during the c<
day's services were fo: ced home by the o
powerful sermon of the night, and pro-b
duOed an effect which we have not wit
nessedl in many year-. We judge thamt
not less than2: one hundred penitenIts
were i:mploing for m~erey at one" timne.
lBut as we have just rturned, and as thea
pper is nearlyv ready for prss we can
n:ot say whal:t we woid now. In the nr
,etiuewe' ho;.e to "lre a mo:re pr
We Must Succeed !
At the last general election in this
State the radicals carried it by about
14,000 mnj'irity. This vote was com
posed alnost entirely of the colored peo
ple of the State, which excess has been
naterially reduced by the following
causes-the deaths and departures have
been large'y in excess of the colored
people over the whites-variously esti
mated in diflcrent parts of the State, but
averaging about thtse to one. Frun all
accounts the increase )f the whites is al
lowed to be in excess of the blacks. No
person who is acquainted with the his
tory of the political contest of '68, will
doubt for one moment that a large num
ber of the whites failed to feel any in
terest in the issue, and consequently
neglected to vote.
Again, large numbers of those who
were then disfranchized have since, by
the several acts of Congress, been rein
stated in their political rights. From all
these causes, we think it fair to presume
the majority above stated has been re
duced at least one half. This leaves us
a majority of, say, 7,000 to oyercome at
this next election. But can we not say,
with good reason, that the impotent and
villainous government of the State du
ring the past two years, by the Scott
ring, and the universal good feeling which
has existed during the most of that time
between the native whites and blacks
has tended to destroy the animosities
and heal the breaches which have here
tofore divided the races on political
questions.
Further, the straight-forward and manly
adoption by the Reform Party of the car
dinal principles of the Republican party, as
set forth in the 14th and 15th amendments
to the national constitution, has destroyed
the political signifieance of the canvass, and
based the issue of to-d.ty upon right against
wrong-honesty against venality and cor
ruption-and truth against falsehood. This
.nabies us to approach honestly and fear
ssl- the colored men of our State, and
tnpeal to them to aid us in purifying the
;overnment of our commonwealth, and
?i3ding us of the vile incubus of foreign
tdventurers, who have done so much to
listract and ruin our common heritage.
iVith these facts in view, we maintain that
requires only the earnest co-operation
>f every honest citizen to secure for us,
ot only the reduction of the majority
Lgainst us at the last election, but the re
Aut of a m:ijority in our favor of nearly
en thousand.
Fruit Jars and yelly Cups.
The manufacture of Jars for preserv
ng fruits and vegetables has reached to
;eat perfection, yet many of the patents
ave faults more or less objectionable.
Ve have seen a specimen called the
Pet" which seems to meet all require
ents, and we call attention to some of
ts advantages: it is all glass, the cover
>rms a joint on a bevelled smooth top,
n the wedge principle, but not so much
s to make it diffiult to open, as any
hild six years old can close or open this
ar. The fastening is a coil of brass
r, with its whole pressure In the cen
re of cover ; and it possesses this imnpor
at advantage that it can be sealed up
hile cold, cooked under water, and all
e freshness and fragrance of the fruit
tained, and when removed is immedi
tely self-scaled. In this connection we
ake pleasure in calling attention to a
ew and beautiful Jelly Cup which need
ny be seen to be admired and desired
y house keepers. The cup holds 6
ut .ces, is made of clear glass, has a
andsomc figure in its botton:, and has a
trong, stiff cover, impervious to damp
ess or air, and which will last for years.
he would like to say more of these ar
ies and many others, which we find

ht colored.-Charleston News. f
Hon. Jdt'erson Davis has sailed for
I L1. j
Judge Carpenter, and the Spirit of Reform.
It was announced in our last paper
that Judge Carpenter would speak before
the citizens of Newberry, on Monday the
15th, and this report created quite an in
terest among our citizens, including a
number of the colored people, for in a
spirit of malignity or bravado some one
had circulated the lie that Judge Carpen
ter was afraid to speak at Newberry
Court House.
An avaunt courier. On Sunday
afternoon, an hour or two before Judge
Carpenter returned from L a u r e n s,
where he addressed the citizens on Sat
urday, he was preceded by a shower of
rain which came upon us like a clap of
thunder in a clear sky-the sunshine
didn't have time to get out of the way
before the shower began to fall. Our
oldest inhabitant will insist that these
gallant reformers are the sons of forensic
thunder and lightning, and thinks they
help to bring the rain.
Shortly after ten olclock, a. m., on
Monday, Col. Fair, Manager of the Can
vass, in a few pertinent remarks, elo
quently touched upon the situation and,
referring to the occasion,stated that there
was no sacrifice of any political tenet,
in the reform effort-that it was simply
a temporary provision for good to all,&c,
after which, Mr. J. A. Moroso, of the
Charleston Courier, was introduced to
the assembled multitude, who in a logi
cal, terse and vigorous style happily pre
sented to the consideration of all present
many of the great principles involved in
the issues of the day. After Mr. Moroso
had held the masses in abeyance to his
forcible arguments for some length of
time he retired amidst a hearty round
of applause.
Gol. Fair then appropriately intro
duced the orator of the day--Judge Car
penter, who immediately proceeded, in
the forcible style which is peculiarly his
own, to illustrate the great truths embo
died in the platform of the Reform Party,
and the absolute necessity for the suc
cess of its candidates to prevent the utter
ruin of all classes of our citizens, and the
bankruptcy of our State, through the
enormous taxation which has been im
posed for the "ggrandizement of the cor
rupt and ve.al Scott ring. In language
so simple and yet so striking were these
portrayals put, and which so clearly re
vealed the terrible plight to which our
State is reduced by the enormous taxa
tion of its citizens, direct and indirect,
that he wrung from the colored people
an involuntary burst of applause.
Judge Carpenter, though worn and
fatigued almost to exhaustion, stood
ith a bold front, a noble mien and a
ommanding voice before his hearers;
and as with the spectroscope not only
srveyed the fields through which the
plough-share of ruin runs, but penetra
ted the inner chamber where the wheels
are moved which Bet the car of
uggernaut in mnotion,whose ponderosity
f evil madly strives to crush out all that
s lovely and good and noble and comely
nd generous and pure and true ; all that
refines life with its sanctity, and all that
ignifies society with its prestige! The
errible steam plough ofdestruction which
s intended to rip up all the parterres of
ocial beauty, harmony and unity, and
upplant their fruits with nothing but
he apple of discord.
Glorious has been the progress of Re
form through the State. Never before
as such a "cloud" of witnesses for truth
nd tonesty hovered over halcyon grove.
he spirit of Reform could only be com
ared to the be-lated up mail train, as it
assed the dense crowd in that beautiful
pot, dedicated to Minerva. As its
hunder rolled along the rail, so will
he upward and onward swelling anthem
f freedom for an oppressed country be
choed in the soul-stirring speeches of
r. Moroso and Judge Carpenter ! And,
s before the progress of that train, all
ust clear the track, so must it be with
ill opposition to the Reform Party in
his county after such a free, fair, dis
assionate, impartial and truthful state
nent of facts as were listened to by the
ery large and attentive concourse of
hite and colored people.
There are marny happy associations
md inspirations clustering around and
bout halcyon grove, but we question if
~vr before such a thrill of response
eaped spontaneously forth from the
eart and mind of the eighteen hundred
r two thousand black and white men
rho had come out on that auspicious
nd lovely morning to hear the naked
ruth.
We would have been better pleased
ould we have presented the Judge's
pech verbatim, and then its salient
oints and its apposite truthis; its tren
hant attack upon, and withering rebuke
f, pohtical apostacy and fraud and cor
uption ; and its touching apostrophes
o political integrity, and State redemp
ion, and the mutual sympathy and de
~endence between capital and labor-ut
ered as they were, in a simple vein of
arnest, impassioned feeling, must have
been a rare treat to our readers, but it
ras not written, it was one of those
'loquent inspirations for the occasion,
hich nothing but the stenographer's
en can take a picture of. We here ob-]
erve that it reflects a glowing tribute
pn the speaker's mind and heart.
Judge Carpenter did not care to refute
particle of the mountain of contumely
d slander that his enemies seek to lay
pon him. lHe only said that they 'lied
their throats as deep down as their
mgs." No ! A brave man and a true
a can live down v-ile slander. Who
the slandered ? The pure man whose
rment is spotless. And who are the
anderers ? Ever and always either the
cerous and the treacherous, or the
vious, the malignant, the develish',
d the cruel, who bate the whiteness
those garments and would sully them.
has passed into~ a proverb that slander is
d from a corrupt fountain. Amnd it hurls
s shaft at the b.right mand the shining light
Carpenter is above sander! He is endorsed
by the purity, integrity and patriotism of
the State!
There was present at the meeting fully
two thousand persons, a large majority
of whom were colored. Harmony pre
vailed through this entire mass until near
the close of Judge Carpenter'3 speech,
when a slight disturbance occurred on
the out kirts of the crowd,which amount
ed to nothing. After the conclusion cf
Judge C's. speech it was announced from
the stand that a meeting would bo held
at the Female Academy for the purpose
of compicting the orgsnization of the
Newberry Township Union Reform So
ciety, after which the immense assembly
rapidly dispersed,and the quiet shades of
classic halcyon grove once more assumed
its wonted quiet.
A large proportion of the people pro
ceeded to town and gathered in little
knots at the corners of the streets to dis
cuss the merits of the speeches, which
unfortunately gave rise to a dispute be
tween two colored men, which was hap
pily quelled without anything more se
rious than hard words, although at one
time it assumed rather a serious as
pect. After which many of the visit
ors dispersed to their homes, and quiet
reigned supreme over our delightful
town. Thus may it ever be!
Our observation leads us to the con
clusion that most, if not all, of the dis
turbances on such occasions arise from
the giddy thoughtlessness of the boys
of both races, and we do hope that
hercafter they will restrain their juven
ile exuberance.
A DIsco3IFITEn LAwYER.-People who
enjoy the discomfiture of lawyers-and
who does not?-will laugh over this in
cident:
"I call upon you," said a lawyer to a
witness, "to state distinctly upon what
authority you are prepared to swear to
the mare's age?" "Upon what authori
ty ?" said the hostler, interrogatively.
"You are to reply, and not to repeat the
question put to you." "I doesn't con
sider a man's bound to answer a question
afore he's time to turn it in his mind."
"Nothing can be more simple, sir, than
the question I put. I again repeat it:
Upon what authority do you swear to
the animal's age?" "The best authority,"
responded he, gruffly. "Then why such
evasion? Why not state it at once?"
"Well, then, if you must have it-."
"Must! I will have it !" vociferated the
counselor, interrupting t b e witness.
"Well, then, if you must and will have
it," rejoined the hostler, with inpert'Ur
bable gravity, "why, then, I had it my
self from the mare's own mouth !" A
simultaneous burst of laughter rang.

TFIF. W31' : B E ?rIE .0Ta,TE3, ITS CAI;a
. (t. 'C.1TFc.R, CONDrCT AND RIStLTs." BY
-s . H. Snm:s.--Thc National Pub
lishing Company, of Atlanta (a., have just
issued the second and c o n il u d i n g
volume of this great work. For some
time past there has beer a general feeling
of apprehension throughout the country
that the precario' s onditioa of }ir. Stephens'
aeaith woul p.cvent his completing the
work, but this apprehension is now removed
tv the fact that the Look is finished and in
the hands of Agents of the Company for
delivery.
This is a matter of congratulation to the
entire country. This book mtst from its
very nature, take precedence of all S.tth
ern histories of the war. The high position
held by Mr. Stephens in the government of
the Confederacy, his great abilities as the
first sratesman 'ot the South, and his ac
knowled;:ed integrity of character, make
him perhaps the person best qualifiel to
tell the story of his cause and its failure.
1is positioi as second officer of the t'on
federacy enabled him to gain much infor
msation which was inaccessible to the or
dinary historian ; the secret history of his
government is a% familiar to him as an
open book ; and his constant and intimate
association with the leaders of the South,
prepares him to speak with accuracy of
their motives, aud to judge their acts from
a more intelligent atand-point than any
other writer.
In the first volume of his work Mr. Ste
phens confined Itiriecif entirely to a die
crssion of the c:tsr.j which led to the .e
cession of the South. In the volume now
before us, he n,rr.rr.A the storr of the War,
giving ripei:rl ernph.:-is to the action of
the goernrr,rnent of r Gr.federaev, or to
what rmv be callid ir con,fidcrt;.l hir-tory.
His arceut of the imortfnt er,nf,-renrce at

and the Contr,1 rare (tommi--ioners, is one
of the mest v;aMe ad,litlon+ to the litera.
ture of the War, and it-lf worth the price
of the entire work. The vexed question
of the non-exchange of Prisoners of War
has much new light shed upon it, and the
place mnovemerets in the South are thoroogh
lIexplained. The fact that the first volume,
niich was but the introdnction to the his
tory of the War, commanded a sale of over
6O,(1( copies, fuliy warrants the assertion
that this volume, which is nod a mere discus
si>n of principles, but a living, breathirg
narrttive of the events of the greatest stru;:
g'e of modern times, by one of the most im
portant actors in it, will reach a sale unpre
cedented in this country. No fair-minded
unprejudiced person can afford to be with
oit this book. It is the official history on
the Southern side, and must hold in the
li-crature of the War even a higher place
than is accorded to Mr. Greeley's American
Conflict. It will occupy in our history the
pace that is given to Napoleon's Memoirs
in the literature of the French Empire. It
is like that work the last production of its
gifted author, and is entitied to all the
veight which attaches to the high character
of a great leader presenting to the world
the story of his cause in vindication of it.
The book is sold by subscription only, and
ients are wanted in every county.
From the Columbia Guardian
Mn. Errron: In the course of the re
marks which I have had occasion to make
in the present political campaign, I have
felt it my duty to make certain specific
charges against Gov. R. K. Scott. Those
charges I have made deliberately, and in
my own time I expect to produce specifi.
ations and proofs. Pending these speci
ications and proofs, a third party in
ervenes and malkes certain chrarges
giainst me. Who this third par-ty is I
o not know, but I will say en passant,
or his consolatio-1, that if his charges
gainst me arc true, and I am the mon
ter which he makes me; have murdered
as many colored people as he pretends ;
ave committed the crimes which he layvs
o my door, Gov. Scott is a very derelict
overnor, else he would have had me ar
ested by his constabulary, tried, con
icted, sentenced and hung. If they are
ot true, the author of them is simply a
ar. Which horn of tire dilemma will
ov. Scott select ?
Bat, Mr. Edlitor, my charges are made
ganst Governor Scott-not against a
aid editor of'a newspaper of doubitful res
ectability- Why does he not apswer
hem? IHis responsibility to the people
f South Carolina is ten-fold greater thtan
nine. My fight ir against him. Will he
eet me on the stumip before the good
eple of the State and reply to thetri?
ill he meet me in the public prints ? I
hallenge him, and have no idea of' allow
ng him to make his fight by proxy,
either on the stump or through tho
prs. Very respectfully,

that atnother term of the Scott Ring in

of taxation that every branch of intdus

ANOTHER IRATRICIDE.-A colored man
was lodged in jail last week for the murder
of his brother. We learn that the two broth
ers were playing cards and a dispute arising,
one deliberately cut the other to death with
a knife.
This fratricide occurred not more than
three or four miles from the one recently men
tioned in our paper.
TUE PROTRACTED MEETING.-Our para
graph of last week, in reference to the pro
tracted meeting in the Methodist Church,
should have been corrected before going to
press, but it was inadvertently neglected.
The meeting closed on monday night, and
we are happy in being able to state that in,
stead of thirteen conversions, there were
eighteen, and fourteen accessions to the
Church.
LOST.--A gentleman of standing
over six feet in his stockings--has lost the
artificial covering of his chest, namely a
vest, and he earnestly desires that it be re
stored to him ere the cool winds of Autumn
come upon him. It was last seen in the
brick hotel, and the lasi look he had of it
was while it gracefully hung over the back
of a split bottom chair. If it has been ap
propriated by a professional bagger of the
radical carpet stripe, he wants no more of it,
but if not, and it has been taken off, and
kept to be looked at as a thing of beauty, he
implores that it be restored to him.
GnArrs.-A charming young friend, who
wears dimi:y and lace, and resides at
Dove Cot, S. C., whose bower is made
redolent by the flowers which grow under
the mystic touch of her fingers, and whose
atmosphere is illumined by the sunshine of
her smile, and the melody and enchan.ment
whereof is the sweetness of her voice, will
accept our thanks for a basket full of lus
cious grapes. How beautiful were the rich
purple clusters-and how generous their yield
of ruby nectar.
Why don't all the ladies cultivate the vine.
and from its flowing vintage, supply the lords
of creation, if per force of the customs and
habits of life, or the cravings of nature, they
mu,t. shall or will drink intoxicating drinks,
with such a beverage as does enrich their
blood, and not poison it as must the vile alco
holic admixtures.
Our district is very friendly to the culture
of the grape. The gray lands and the sunny
bill sides are abundant.
The variety of grape sent us was the Ca,
tawba.
TURBULENCE.-On Monday afte:noon the
neighborhood round and about the hotel was
made the scene of as turbulent an exhibition
as was ever perhaps before witnessed, and
the like of which we hope and believe never
will be again seen. An attempt was made
by the republican peace breakers to seize the
body of a colored Reformist, who had acci
dentally bat honestly imbibed a little too
much whiskey, and who in an innocent ex
hanberance desired to obtain an imaginary
satisfaction of one of the opposite faction.
We give the latter all credit however for ma
king every effort to avoid a diffieulty. The
parties were separated, the liquored man
led to his houce, and the other going his way
in pence, and here would have ended the
matter, but a great mob gathering, rushed to
the house of the colored reformist and would
have made an end of him perhaps, but for
the tin.ely interference of Sheriff Paysinger
and other citizens. Since the days of nulliti
cation we never saw such an excitement, and
even then never such a spirit of infuriation
as was shown by this colored mob. It is a
wonder that it did not end seriously, and that
it did not, is owing altogether to the great
exertions of citizens who would m'tint:tin the
pence. We believe that many of the more
sensible colored men who saw the dJanger
which might come of a collision, aided ma
terially to quell the tumult.
A Dtscorr.-Tbc discoveres in science,
in geology, on top of thcecarth and beneath,
fade into tnothingness when compared to a
recnt discovery made by the local of this
paper. Oh that he had the talents~, the wis
dom, the energy of a P'ickwick, that he
might astonish the learned societics. In his
researches a few days since, he discovered a
man who never, never, never took a news
paper in his life-that is in the recognized
and acceptable way. And this man boasts of
it . Insult to injury. Little did the local dream
of such great depravi ty; that there existed
such a creature; that the green earth could
sustain such a nonentity; but alas, it is a
fact. He lives, and moves, and has a being,
is like unto other men. and talks like abook;
is versed in the views of the day, can tell the
politics of every paper in the State, and
many other things which can only be known
to those who read carefully. IIow could it
he possible ? thought th is local, where does
this strango man get his information? and
asked. is heart-a very tender one-was
iri".ied to learn that this man burrowed his
reading, had been doing so for a life time.
Is it not dreadful? Will St. Peter open the
gates to this man? Never. In vain will
be knock. You paid not for your reading
in the lower world, will be told him; you
particularly, had no regard for the prosper
ity or happiness of the proprietors of the
Newberry Hieral, than whom no better, or
more thorough. or hard working, or better
reformists, ever existed. Be gone, vanish,
ramose, absquatulate, evaporate, melt, git
up and git! No defrauder of the printer can
enter here. The local says he would like to
put the regular and well known red cross
mark on the forehead of this rr avis, that
e might not only be known of all men, but
that the mark might easily and quickly aid
St. Peter in his identification.

Kinard's Colored Academy
Directly after the pas:age of the school
bill for the . rection of school houses, Major
.Joltr P. Kinard went to w ork and erected
a school house for the co!ored population in
that vicinity, which was shortly after
burnt. Determined not to be balked in
his efforts he built another. Major Kinard
saw the necessity of trying to educate the
negro, if possible, to make him a better and
more useful citizen. HIe was influenced by
the best and purest of motives, and the ef
fort has been eminently successful. It is
situated about 6 miles from the Court House,
in Towniahip No. 5, and is at present under
the supervision and manage'.ent of Mr.
Spears. There are about SO co'ored schol- 1
ars who attend regularly.
On Saturday last there was an examina
tion of the scholars in orthography and
reading. Quite a number of white persons
were present to witness the proceedings.
The examination was conducted by llaj.
Kinard, and the scholars exhibited a proti
ciency in spelling and teading that was
really surprising. Many of them who had
only been going to school for a month or
so, spelt remarkably well, in fact, it was as- t
tonishing. We are satisfied that the negro I
can acquire knowledge rapidly, and we be
lieve that it is one of the best things that
can be done to have him educated. That
education will tend to dispel ignorance from
their minds and remove many of the super
stitions and darkened views of the negro is
beyond a doubt, and that it will as sure as
fate make him a better citizen cannot be
denied. c
After the examination there were short
speeches by some of the scholars, and they a
exhibited one thing, which we have seldom
seen excelled, a remarkable menmorv.
Among the whites present was Thos. P.
Slider, who being asked to give them some
remarks, promptly responded to the request,
and in a brief and suggestive manner deliv
ered them a sensible, plain and practical s
lecture. impressing on their minds that one i
of the hapriest results of freedom was the
blessing of education, which would tend to r
expand their nmindt, improve their tastes, t
refine their sensibilities and remove the pre
judices which had so long been a stumbling c
block in their way. He encouraged them I
to be obedient, attentive and studious, and
to labor while they h.u] the oppurtunity to t
improve it. The freedomm, said the speaker.
of your race, atnd the blessing of education,1s
which all can enjoy and imake omc of, is a
harbinger of the advancement of your race 1
and of the broad progress of civilizaition 1
throughout the world. Yet vou must re
collect that freedom of itself cannot keep c
man free. It requdires edumcationl and religion
to do this. 3Make use then of the school-c
master and of the preacher of the Gospel.
You need them now more tihan ever. It I
is with yotu to look forward to the emanrn
pation of your race, wherever they are held
in slavery, as wel: as to Iabor to enlighten
the benigh ted af; ica n in the land of Africa.
You do not and will not need armies, nor e
navies, nor muskets, nor bayonets, nor
large preparations of war. You will need
the School House aid .thme Bible. You
will need the Schmoolmaster a n d the
Minister. It rests with you and with your
race to show whether yo'n are worthy of that
inestimable boon of freedotn which has
beetn conferred. It rests with yon and your
race to shor~ in the future whether you are
a progressive race, and whether you can -
earry out broad, entlighitencd and compre- r
hensive views, atnd prove to the world of I
a hat von are capable. JT. M. n
