to learn (that is t iru loose cherished

solf infl cted task today to call my peo
ple's utteution to tho fact that theie is

Joseph. In this expression l am i st
referring to tho rulers of our State, but
to the riiler of our uation. his advisors
nod those of tho bevcral State govern
ments, North and Synth, Republican
ou well us Democratic,
The1 central idea of tho Federal com
pact was the individual sovereignty ol
each Stato. The development of this
fdea of homo rule, whether in t'oaco or
anarchy, was enlarged upon by Joilor
son and exemplified at all times of out
natioual existauco by every great load
er, liepublicau or Democrat, whettover

ltoad tho mossnges of any one ot our
prosidouiH, or all of them, and you will
,o convinced that thero feift uevor been
a president in the White House who
has forgotten this central idea, and
who has over failed to omphusizo the
fact that each Stato is a sovereign }
within its confiuos, having thought to
maiiuye its citissouH and tta.nr right, m
politics, bu?inos? ami pr?porty , lioncti
the citizonship that is weak, tottoi ?
and doi.oi.deut upon assistance is re
duced to but one alternative, and it is
this? toT>make tho State the guiding
slur of their political hopo and thou
material prosperity, 'iliero is another
fuet that I wish to call your attonUo
i?i it ia this? that tho negro must so
hvo in tho South as to prove by his
acts that his only hope is confined
within the limit of tho rttato in which
he lives. It is bettor by far to have
uo political hope thau have ouo thatis
predicated upon uatioual aid, uationa
protection or uatioual interference in
our behalf. ,v , , , . . _
I believe that there* should bo no tnx
atioQ without reprosontatiou, ami it
this represenatiou is to oome to us, it
eau aud will only come by tho permis
sion of tho people of each township,
eeooud, through and by ftho I'ooplo of
each couuty; third, through and by the
people of our own Stato.
This is not what my people wau- to
tear mo say, but it is a worthless aud
fljoor physician who has diagnosed the
cftoe knows tho medicmo that la uood
ed, and knows the medicine that his
patient wants to take wi'l rmn him, but,
through fear, or some uuknowu reason,
permits his patient to drink the deadly
drug. I know the diseaso; X have loaru -
ed tho remedy, aud 1 am here to ad
minister it. Therefore I pray thee, 1
entreated thee, in the name of tho
neuroes unborn, to shattor the idol of
our hopes durkrf'the past <30 years, the
idol that has been enthroned on the
outside of the Stato, for it is
though reigning. IthaB hands hut
cannot bo uu lifted in, your behalf,
haa ears, but it will hear you not) it
has voice, b\it the voico has been bus h
od* It has eye*, but the eyes will not
penetrate across tho lino of any sovereign
States; it has understanding, but not
for voir cause; it has regard for be
riehts of the citizons of the United
Mates, but that citizenship must not be
clothed in a black skin. *;v#r*
this idol of your 9 emphasizes tho
threadworn dogmaof ante-bellum t'mes

This pilgrim from Massachusetts ix
in 18H8, through tlio gruco ami social

bost citizens of Charleston, tho honorod
aud distinguished guest of said oitv,
the banquet orator of a feast that in
1 magnificence, jollification, wit anil
splendor, rivals tho festivo occasions

among us with nothiug but iovo in his
heart, peace aud good will in his voieo,
love, devotion and praise fojp tho deeds
of our great liutlodgo, iSflckuey, Ms
lion, .Sumter and Calhoun. He did
not forgot us (tho liogro) in this mas
torly lovo feast of his, for he said,
among other tliiugs, that tho South
had denlt more kindly toward us (the
negro) since emancipation than the
north. He is good authority 011 the
subject for he spoko to tho southern
people about us (the negroes) and their
treatment by the south and I utrree
with him, that taking all things in con
sideration and hoeing and knowing tho
environments of tho two races, I agree
with Mr. lloar that in the treat iftvut
of tho negro in tho two sections, thorp
has been more consideration given him
in tho south. Mr. lloar of 185)8 as
sured us that tho people of tho south
are hold in patriotic and loving regard
by tho brethren across tho Potomac,
and to show how thoroughly thoy.have
boon converted into tho south's man
ner of thinking and in what high aud
overreaching regard they do today
hold tho teachings of tho political load
or h of tho south, of tho past and to im -
press us with tho fact that they do
stand hand in hand with us under a
coLumou iinpulso in tho pathway of tho
broad patriotism of the:, south ho could
uot -find language* of bin own with
which ,to build henlonces that would _
express tho feelings of a repentant
heart cruoilled to tho teachings of tho
sou tli bonce ho takes recourso to the
Hook of Hooks, Jehovah's book and
quotes therefrom tho language of truo
affection, obedient following, lofty
