His address is "going the roundi of the country. Among other things, he said: "I say here now, once for all, if \ are to celebrate this occasion (Etna cipation day), we cannot in any co science forget those who, in angui; and pain, still held out to us a hai without which we must have perish from the earth?our freedom a tra esty, and Lincoln's proclamati< would have had no place except as i epitaph of what might have been. Celebrate White Man's Kindness "Let us then celebrate this day memory of their helpful friendsh and in memory that we had the go sense to prove our worthiness of th? benefactions by not resorting to tor or anarchy. And with a blush shame that anywhere in our belov Southland any negro's pretend friends supposed that Lincoln's pr< lamation ever comtemplated the ii mediate elevation of the ex-slave place and power that meant the I miliation,. not only of the negr best friends, but the destruction that reliance which was the most i portant element in the remaking this Southland. "Does anyone believe that Lino would ever have signed a paper which bo could have foreseen sue! saturnalia of wickedness as reigt over the South during the days of construction? A period of our hist* that every man who remembers would gladly blot out if he could, it would have been better for tl great heart to be still in that no breast than know that an instrum of his making could be so constri as to produce such a condition in land of his birth. God was merci in takimr Vii?n fvnm cn<.Vi .1 never intended it. No! Not that n whose tender heart held no mai And, like the Master of Galilee, taught love of one's enemies. A Touching Incident "Please excuse this seeming dig) sion. I remember well, as if it was yesterday, when old mistress came to the kitchen and told my mothei " 'Aunt Jane, you are free. As f as I am. And you can go.' "She wore a large gray shawl, . as she turned to go I saw tears on I pale cheeks. My mother caught h of her shawl and with streaming e; said: " 'Miss Jennie, where shall I p What shall I do? I have nine cl dren, and I know no one but you. W "We were all crying now. " 'Oh, no, Aunt Jane', she said, :y need go nowhere. You can stay rij here if you wish, and as long as have a crust of bread you and yc children shall eat. I will pay y what wages I can. And as long a live and you stay, if you suffer I v suffer too'. ? "We stayed and she did suffer mi more than we. This scene was at 1 moment being enacted in thousar of homes all over this broad la Those words were as the star of He leliem on that dark night to eve , negro then on the plantations of 1 South, as he stood dumfounded at si v/m iiuntiunn in it'urs. Denounces Carpetbagger 1 "And when old master came to dilapidated home from the war, said 'amen' to every word that < mistress had said. And all was w< until the carpetbagger came and, w his damnable practices, preaching a promises, hatched the hell into whi the South was plunged from '(55 to and out of which the negro came r of the friendship and help of th< whom he knew and who knew hi those whom he loved and who lo\ ' him. And the scamp fled with his ' gotten gains to safer quarters a ' left us to shift the best we could a meet the storm of an outraged ms hood. Today I wish you to colebri the release of our friends from worse slavery, a more galling yo than we ever wore. And let us cc brate by returning to our first a best love, and let us join hearts a 1 hands with them and sing with all I soul: "'I never will leave or forsake th Where you live I will live, your G shall be my God, And where you die there will I buried'. The Ileal Freedom "If this celebration shall mean t to us, then long we shall have i casion to shout 'free at last'. This the only kind of blow that we m strike which will mean liberty a freedom. It is in'this way, and in t way only, will the negro in Amen ever be free. Let us first free 1 white man from the impressions made on him under vicious leadersl of false friends,and then we may ho for him to free us from the hor which our own hands have weld about our feet. And not until that d arrives can we have an emancipati celebration that will mean anythinj "Let us regain the love which ' forfeited for the few political hus on which we fed, and that love w make us free. At present I think ' are foolish for celebrating an eve which has meant nothing to us fc humiliation, persecution and alier tion, degredation, obloquy, scorn a contempt. We are celebrating event that has never taken place, a you know it as well as I. Hut soi things did take place on that menr rable first day of January.
