And the trouble is we don't know
what end she is going to jump from.
It is a mIatter of pirofounid speculation
whether she will land out of this
somm iersault head foremost or feet

M\oses was regarded as an unsafe
behist to jump over for no 0one can
tell how long lie will stanid in one

there was a sear received years ago

well oovered with good honest repub.

In another field, another candidate
wats brought out. Nothing could be
saiid against his honor, his integrity, his
liberality. lt some of the colored
people still criedIS'thIis wont 'lo." So
the call was made "Bring ini another
horse."''lThis was an entry, made
Oeeially for the beneflt of the col

and gentle. A t a distance all seem

slavd ory. N r. W allace explains thu
on the ground that he was sorry: fot
the free negroes. Many free personi
of color were wealthy. Mrs Ellisons
of Sumter, was qjuite wealthy, and ye1
Mr. Wallace was so touohed Wit
pity for poor Mr. Ilsson that he in.
troduced a bill to allow hini "tc
choose a master and go into slavery.
If Mr. Wallace wvas so sorty then, he
miiight now be sorry for them again
andl introduce another bill permitting
them to "choose their maater and go
into slavery9'
Ile had not oared to ubo this an ar.
gument against Mr. Wallace, Lecause
he willing to lot bygones be bygoiles.
But he merely wished to show that
MI. Wallace -had no reason to
bring up the pih.
Having thus effectually disposed
of Mr. Wallace, Gen. Kershaw next
dofined his position on the civil
rights bil. Mr. W altled had oharg
ed in the canvass that he (the speakJ
er) was opposed to the civil rights
bill. This bill, as you all know, wan
dovi,ed by Ilon. ChaaIet Aumnaer, of
Musuaohusbtts ;- propoaed in the last
Congress anud defeated. The subjudt
will no doubt be brought up Ia tho
next cngres. Its objeots and pur
posta ar iell kno Wn to all. As tho
fiend of the coloied pt( ple, and is
an advocate of what would be to their
beFt inteest, he had to declare that
he was not in favor of the bill. It
will prove misebievous in its opera

ernment. He had but recently re
oeivpd a letter from a loading Demo
crat of York, urging him to advocate
civil rigits as th4 best thing for the
whites of the South, because, should
it become a law, its agitation all
over the North will sweep away all

when by that alVbeaty be tneant it

Gen. Kershaw next atinounedd that
he favored an equil divisiotl of oli
ces, each race to select its ofn top
resentative men as eatididates, and
thus a preservation of ith righto to
each.
