His address is "going the rounds' of the country. Among other things, he said: "I say hero now, once for all, if w? are to celebrate this occasion (Email cipation day), we cannot in any con science forget those who, in anguisl and pain, still held out to us a han< without which we must have perishec from the earth?our freedom a trav esty, and Lincoln's proclamatior would have had no place except as ai epitaph of what might have been. Celebrate White Man's Kindness "Let us then celebrate this day ii memory of their helpful friendshij Jlllfl in momnrv fViof V*?wl J w..%*v .?v nau uiu sense to prove our worthiness of theii benefactions by not resorting to torcl or anarchy. And with a blush o shame that anywhere in our belovet Southland any negro's pretendet friends supposed that Lincoln's proc lamation ever comtemplated the im mediate elevation of the ex-slave t< place and power that meant the hu miliation,. not only of the neprok best friends, but the destruction o that reliance which was the most im portant element in the remakinp o this Southland. "Does anyone believe that Lincolwould ever have sipned a paper ii which lie could have foreseen such j saturnalia of wickedness as reipne< ? over the South durinp the days of re construction? A period of our histor; 1 that every man who remembers i , would pladly blot out if he could. Ni it would have been better for tha preat heart to be still in that nobl breast than know that an instrumen of his makinp could be so construe' as to produce such a condition in thi land of his birth. Clod was merci'fu in takinp him from such a scene. Hi , | never intended it. No! Not that mai j whose tender heart held no malic* ' j And, like the Master of CJ.tlilee, h. > taupht love of one's enemies. A Touchinp Incident "Please excuse this seeminp dipres ' sion. I remember well, as if it was lnr , yesterday, when old mistress came in to tV? kitchen and told my mothei : " 'Aunt Jane, you are free. As fre? as I am. And you can po.' "She wore a larpe pray shawl, anr as she turned to po I saw tears en hei pale cheeks. My mother caupht hole of her shawl and with streaminp eyes said: "'Miss Jennie, where shall I po? What shall T do? I have nine children. and I know no one but you. Whji 1 ' o ? "We were all cryi'np now. " 'Oh, no, Aunt Jane', she said, 'you need po nowhere. You can stay riphl here if you wish, and as lonp as 1 have a crust of bread you and youi children shall eat. I will pay you what wapes I can. And as lonp as 1 live and you stay, if you suffer I will suffer too'. r "We stayed and she did suffer mud more than we. This scene was at th< moment bci'np enacted in thousand;of homos all over this broad bind Those words wore as the star of Bethlehem on that dark night to ovev> ?, negro then on the plantations of the South, as he stood dumfounded at seeing old mistress in tears. Denounces Carpetbagger J "And when old master came to hif dilapidated home from the war, hf said 'amen' to every word that oh mistress had said. And all was well until the carpetbagger came and, witl his damnable practices, preaching an< promises, hatched the hell into whiel the South was plunged from *f>5 to '7< and out of which the negro came ref of the friendship and help of thos< ~ whom he knew and who knew him those whom he loved and who love< 1* him. And the scamp fled with his ill 1* gotten gains to safer quarters an< U' left us to shift the best we could ant fl* meet the storm of an outraged man ri" hood. Today I wish you to celebrat* the release of our friends from ; n' worse slavery, a more galling yoke n. than we ever wore. And let us cele _ brate by returning to our first am best love, and let us join hearts am l*' hands with them and sing with all th soul: "'1 never will leave or forsake thee Where you live I will live, your Goi shall be my God, And where you die there will I b ^ buried*. The Ileal Freedom "If this celebration shall mean thi = to us, then long we shall have oc Icasion to shout 'free at last'. This i the only kind of blow that we ma strike which will mean liberty an freedom. It is in this way, and in thi way only, will the negro in Ameri'ct ever be free. Let us first free th white man from the impressions w made 011 him under vicious leadershi of false friends,and then we may hop for him to free us from the bond which our own hands have welde gj about our feet. And not until that da arrives can we have an emancipatio H celebration that will mean anything. "Let us regain the love which w forfeited for the few political husk on which we fed, and that love wi' 1. make us free. At present I think w ? are foolish for celebrating an ever ~ which has meant nothing to us bu humiliation, persecution and alien* tion, degradation, obloquy, scorn an contempt. We are celebrating a event that has never taken place, an you know it as well as I. Hut som 1- things did take place on that mem< rable first day of January.
