? I SOME GOOD ADVICE r? Given the Negroes by a Colored Man ON EMANCIPATION DAY He Appeal to Hit Race to Fit Themselves for Citizsrship. Opposes Reduction In the South's Representation. Emancipation Day was celebrated in great stylo in lteaufort. Tho grand marshal of tho day was Joseph Dais. Thero was a street paradp of oolored veterans of tho lato war, oolored militia and business men and oitizons. Tbo ?xeroises woro held at tho school houso. The emancipation proclamation was read by Edward Mayors. Kov. 1*. 1'. Watson was master of oorcmonics. Robert Smalls dolivorcd a short address reviewing tho first emancipation oelobration whioh was held at Beaufort in 1863 Gen. Rufus Saxon wired congratulations. as ho was presont in Beau fort at tho *63 celebration, whioh were road by Rev. Watson; after whioh ho introduood tho orator of tho day, Prcsi dent^Thomas E. Miller, who spoko in part as follows: Mr. Chairman, voterans and follow oititons: 1 am here at my old home, having been honorod by your oommittoo with an invitation to deliver tho address on this tho thirty seventh anniversary of our emancipation. It is not in my power to express hero or elsewhere tho heartfelt gratitude that I owe you and how deeply 1 apprcoiato this call to ho with you on this day?a day that means so much to us negroes It is indood our passovor, for upon it tho pronunoiamento that made us men and citizens and that severed tho chains that bound us in fottcrs that were galling indeed went into effcot. Kvory nation weak or strong has had its passovor day; and tho moro loyal thoy aro to their oountry, tho moro patriotic they arc to their birthland, tho moro faithful they have boon in oom momorating tho day of thoir doliveranoo.

While in tho stato senate, ono of the greatest oomplimcnts that was ever paid to tho head, hand and heart of tho American nogro fell from tho lips cf that splendid Confederate chieftain, Con. Mart Gary. 8aid he: "The nogro is ignorant, but ho is loyal to a cause, ho is faitnful to a trust, and thero is no body of men found anywhere who will follow a leader with more oonfidenoo, lovo and fidelity than the negro." "Givo him leadership," said Gen. Gary, "and ho bcoomcs blind to ovorything other than to tho call of duty." Yos, Mr. Chairman, our people havo never betrayed a trust, whether at homo, in tho fields, in tho work shops or on tho battlo field. History rooords him as nevor a carpiDg hypoorite with foul treason in heart. Standing here amidst tho very first momontB of a rowocntury, having beon permitted to live during tho last half of tho oenturv thathaB iust nasHrd way, 1 am ablo to rooall many events ?Bomo of which aro recorded history And as 1 stand hero and draw aside the curtain, and peep down, away down the vista of time, i sco the ovents, as if with magic, passing beforo my vision all tho way down, down tho vista, portions which aro obscured on account of hoary ago.

Most of them aro ongraved upon our hearts as if burnt in by hot stool. Novcrtholoss this is not tho limo for mo to indu'go in tho temptation to rosall them. Thero is another task?a self inflioted task assigned mo, and it is to deal briefly with present conditions, 1 and from them tako a rcokoning so as to present to you a birdsoyo view of tho blessings that aro to bo ours in the future?blessings that must como if wo oan only continuo to bear and forbear; LI...: .L-. :? ? ui'-oniugn mat WO Will enjoy II WO Will only labor, propara oursolves, and wait for their ooming.

Why, evon the groat Btato of Illinois, which famished our emanoipator, through its present governor, Tanner, tolls us wo must not oomo. Havo you forgotten that not two years ago hoforbido nogio laborers entering into the stato of Illinois to labor in tho mines? Ho oallod us aliens and Baid that if wo persistod in ooming there to work?not to voto? to labor in the mines, tho lowost of labor, to earn broad by the sweat of our brow; if wo persisted in ooming thcro to labor and to work ho would meet us at the border with Oatling guns aud shoot us to death. Yes, friends, he was so reported in the daily papers, and I havo never soen it oontradiotcd. Nevertheless ho is ono of our Republican governors.

Tho truth is, tho national republican party, through its officers, have served notioo on uh that thoy have grown tirod BorviDg us, and that they do not intoDd to intcrfero with or assist us. Whou 1'rcsidont McKinloy niauo his southern tour ho said in Georgia that every Confedorato gravo was a mcnuuiont to ''American patriotism." Fellow oitizons, lot me quote Prcai dent MoKinloy again: "Kvory Confederate gravo is a monument to American patriotism." Do you doubt it? If you aro republicans, which I know you arc, you do not daro doubt it, for our ropublioan prosidont, who is tho ollioial mouth-picoo of the republican party, said so, and tho parly at tho Ust olootion ondorsed it by ro electing him; honco, it is truo. It is useless to live if you intend to livo in blindncBSB. Kvcry utterance of importanoo falling from tho lipB of nolhorn ropublioans, with very few ex ocptions, tonds to hIiow that the ropublioan party is getting in doubt on tho subject of who was right or who was wrong during tho last war. What is a patriot? What is patriotism? Can tho graves of men who were guilty of doing wrong ho monuments to patriotism? No, fellow eitizons, wo must accept Wm. MoKinloy as authority on thin suhjeot.

In part thoy aro to blaiuo, but only in very small part. They have accomplished this act with, through, and by tho permission of tho national republicans of tho north. If tho north did not want it so, tho handful of wliito people in the south could not make it so. A republican supremo oourt, by refusing to interforo and assist us have ^aid that they wero right in this act. Tho ropublioan congress, by rofusing to scat republican congressmen lroui South Carolina, havo further emphasized tho fact that tho whito pooplo of South Carolina in this act havo boon right. < Tho truth is but tho truth, and I am < hero to tell you tho whole truth, and it is this; tho national republican party has deserted us, has abandoned us; < and with a very fow exceptions, thoy i show by their failing to act, and aftcn by their utterances, that thoy nocd tho i forgivenncss of tho south lor ever hav- i ing assisted us. 1 Wo havo a fow friends loft, but they ' aro in a wooful minority.

It was the chief oauio of the i Dinanoipation proclamation that was i road hero today; and today, thirty sovod e years after our emancipation, it is tho 3 bone of contention. ? Tho question that concerns us more thau any other ono quoHtion is tho fifty 1 oorigressmcn who are aooredited to tho c south on account of tho prosenoo of t ten million negroes in tho south. ?

God oan moro mountains. Wo aro not any worso atlllotod in our citizenship and rights llian havo boon other nations. 1 havo stated that 1 am opposed to tho cutting down of tho roprosontation of the south. Why am I opposed to it? Bocauso it would bo wrong, and if it is a wrong to temporarily disfranohiso us, tho taking away of tho south's roprosontation for that reason would bjagroatcr wrong Two wrongs oan novcr mako a r'ght. Havo vou ever stopped to count the cost to us negroes should tho south lose its fifty congressmen that arc allotted to her on account of our prosonoo here? If tho ropropcntation wcro takon away it would mean absoluto and total disfranchisement of tho peoplo who had no representation in tho gonoral government. For a tiino tho whito peoplo wonld suffer, but if tho reprosontation woro taken away from tho south tho nogro would bo practically killed for ono hundred years. Somo go so far as to say that they do not oaro what happoos to v.s negroes so long as tho south loses her fitly representatives, but lot us stop and oount tho oost beforo wo join tho hue and ory: "Cut down tho reprosontation, out down tho bouth's representation." It is arguod that it is no uso to havo a thing that you cannot use; a right that you cannot enjoy. But that doos not hold good in all oasos. Tho ohildron of Israel wcro given tho ark of tho covenant, and after thoy had orossod tho Jordau they forgot tho toaohings of Moscb, and for thorn tho ark of tho oovonant lost its powor, but it was tho insignia of .Johova's promiso It failed to do pcrvioo for tho eiuful Israclitos and tho Cauaaninitcs carriod it away, and placed it in thoir temple, in tho midst of thoir idols to rnako it a thing of deiision in its helplessness in that Lomplo of blindness, wickedness and sin; but when they wont back to look at it in derision, surrounded by tho idols of Baal, what dil thoy behold ? Why all thoir idols had tumbled to tho ground and wore crushed; and in that sight tho heathen saw that tho ark of tho oovonant, whioh was tho magna oharta of tho .lows, had in it tho strength and protootion to tho Jows. Lot our right to voto bo lockod up :omporarily in tho tcmplo of projudioo. jut do not Book to dostroy it by afiking longrcss to out down tho roprosontation )f tho South, whioh was given on icoount of our prcaonoo horo.
