SECOND EDITION. BY TELEGRAPH. TO-DAY'S WASHINGTON NEWS The Colored Delegation and the President. LATE FROM FORTRESS MONROE The Greble Lodge of Odd Fellows, HEAVY FORGERY IN LOU ISVILLE. Reply of the Colored Delegation to the President. WAsiriNGTON, Feb. B.—The following •is the published reply, of the colored delega tion to the President aftCr tlkey had had their interview with him yestrday: Mr. President—ln consideration of a deli cate sense of propriety, as well as your own repeated intimations - of indisposition to discuss or to listen to a reply to the views and opinions yon werepleased to express to us in your elaborate speech to-day, the undersigned would respectfully take - this method of replying thereto. Believing as we do that the views and opinions you expressed in that address are entirely unsound and prejudicial to the highest interests of our race, as well as our country at large, we cannot do other than expose the same, and as far as may be in our power, arrest their dangerous influence. It is not necessary, at the present time, to call attention to more than two or three features of your remarkable address. The first point to which we feel especially bound to take exception, is your attempt to found a policy opposed to our enfranchise. ment upon the alleged ground of an exist ing hostility on the part of the former slaves towards the poor white people of the South. We admit the existence of this hostility and hold that it is entirely reciprocal ; bat you obviously commit an error by drawing an argument from an incident of a state of slavery and making it a basis for a policy adapted to a state of freedom. The hostility between the whites and blacks of the South is easily explained. It has its root and sap in the relation of slavery, and was excited on both aides by the cunning of the slavemasters. These masters secure" their ascendancy over both the poor whites and the blacks by putting enmity between them. They divided both to conquer each. There was no earthly reason why the blacks should not hate 'and dread the poor whites when in a state of slavery, for it was from this class their masters received theft; slave-catchers, slave-drivers and overseers. They were 'the men called on upon alkocca. sions by the masters, when any fiendish outrage was to be committed upon the Now, sir, you 'cannot but perceive that the cause of this hatred removed, the effect must be removed also. Slavery is abolished. The cause of antagonism is removed, and you • must see that it is altogether illogical, and putting new wine into old bottles, mending new garments with old cloth, to legislate from slaveholding and slavedriving premises for a people whom you have re peatedly declared your purpose to maintain in freedom. Besides, even if it were true, as you allege, that the hostility of the blacks to ward the poor whites must necessarily project itself into a state of freedom as it did in a state of slavery, in the name of Heaven we reverently ask how can you, in view of your professed desire to promote the welfare of the black man deprive him of all means of defence and clothe him who you regard as his enemy in the panoply of political power? Can it be that You would recommend a policy .which would arm the strong and cast down the defence less ? Can you by any possibility of rea soning regard this as just, fair or wise? Experience proves that those are oftenest abused who can be abused with the greatest impunity. Men are whipped oftenest who are whipped easiest. Peace between the races is not to be secured by degrading one race and exalting another, by giving power to one rase and withholding it from another, but by maintaining a state of equal justice be tween all classes, first pure and then peace able. On thecolonization question you were pleased to broach, very much could be said. It is impossible' to suppose, in view of the usefulness of the black man in time of peace as a laborer in the South, and in time of war as a soldier at the North and the growing respect for his rights among the people and his increasing adaptation to a high state of civilization in this, his native land, there can ever come a time when he can be removed from this country without a terrible shock to its pros perity and peace. Besides, the : worst enemy of the nation could not cast upon its fair name a greater infamy than to suppose that the ne gross could be tolerated among them in a state of the most degrading slavery and oppression, and must he cast away and driven into exile for no other cause than baying heen freed from the chains of slavery.
