SUE LINCOLN UNIVERSITY.
!speech by Thomas iiiirebstex), Esq.
Yesterday wo published a brief acccknt of the
exercises which took place on Thursday, at Ox
ford, Ps., upon the occasion of the prmentatiou
to the Lincoln University of several articles of
historical interest.
iho following able and interesting speech. WLS
made brrhortias Webster, Fag.:'
)fr. President, Ifembers of the Faculty, and
,Ladies and Gentlemen:—When vividly impressed,
in June last, it the Commencement, with the
marked success of this institution, it great excel
lence,and the vast.intinenee it la likely to exert
the future of the Auglo-African race,and through
them om the welfare and destiny of our country,
m) , pleasure was tinged with sorrow, as I re-
Meted that I was unable to contribute oven a
mite to your treasury. I opoke to your estima
ble President of my regret, and offered to him,
for the decoration of your walls, an oil painting,
which I had caused to be executed duringthe
war by that eminent artist Gee. F. 'lnset!, of
Philadelphia, depicting a scene in the great
struggle, in whiCe c. colored man is conspicu
ous. It repre,ents the flag sergeant of a regi
ment of colored troops—the Fifty-fourth Maßia
chusetts—before. Fort Wagner,severely wounded,
and exclaiming to his sympathizing officer: "I
NEVER ONCE LET THE OLD FLAG TOUCH THE
GROUND."
Your President accepted my offering. It is
hero to be given to you and with it two flags,
one used by"the School' for the applicants for the
command of colored troops." organized and
maintained in 1863 and '64 at Philadelphia by the
Supervisory Committee for ho recruiting of col
ored troops, which furnightd two colone.s, ten
lieutenant colonels t.ml. =Ors. and eighty-two
other officers to colored regiments. The other
flag is the gift of John H.Cochran of Philadelphia,
formerly a colonel in the arm - Thisllag was
borne by colored mon in the streets of Nashville,
Tenn., and utrier - it some thousands of colored
soldiers were recruited. I have also a volume to
present to you. J. is Se: - ..;tor Wllson's History
of Reconstruction. That untiring friend of hu
man rights sends'.o. tz. you.
Your all-sonled and most sanguine Principal
regards these trifling evidences of sympathy with
him and his colleagues In their work, and solici
tude for the et , dente gathered here, as the nu
cleus of greater things. Ho feels assurances so
strong as almost to amount to the belief that
this painting is but the first of a creditable art
gallery; these flags but the first contributions to
a considerable museum of historic relics. and the
single veinme among the first of aline library, all
which will soon enrial. and adorn this noble Uni
versity, the first specifically designed for the col-
ored race.
These things may be, and liberal contributions
in money, in time, in land and In labor may con
tinue to flow in and strengthen this University—
for the new-born sympathy for the colored trace
which our sufferings, our agonies, our losses oar
perils and the efforts for oar very satin:Lion
wrung trom us in the darkest hours of our woo,
has not yet subsided, nor do I believe it will sub
side or abate in the least if the colored race can
prove and will prove itself equal to the demands
made upon it. With your permission, Mr. Pres
ident ana gentlemen of the Faculty, I will say a
few words to these students whom I see before
Gentletn i en and Fellow-citizens of the United
States (I wish I could say Fellow-citizens of
Pennsylvania)—allow me to make a few remarks
to you in the greatest frankness. In what I say
I may not only not coincide with your views, but
I may differ to widely from them, as to incur
your disapprobation. 1 hope, however, for a
different result.
I wish to say that my experience as chairman
of the Supervisory Committee, which raised thir
teen regiments of colored troops to assist in
quelling the rebellion was, that not more than
one person out of ten who were in favor of
organizing negro troops approved of that mea
sure, because and for the reason that the for
mation of such troops would elevate the negro in
the scale of humanity. And; I believe that what
was true hero, in Eastern Pennsylvania, was true
everywhere. Nearly all who approved or acqui
esced in the movement, and many who freely gave
their money to accelerate it, were actuated by no
higher motive than a desire to save a further drain
on skilled labor—to have the draft avoided—to
keep their sons or themselves at home, or in some
way to save the white race as much as possible
from further exposure, injury and destruction.
a6Vell do I remember when it was proposed in the
pervisory Committee to issue a placard inviting
4iegroes to enlist and promising to them the bal
lot for the bullet, how earnestly such a pledge was
unloosed. Such was the real state of feeling in
1863.
- Bear in mind that the very first idea that prom
ised to benefit your race, which the war devel
oped, viz.: the construction of the legal word
"contraband"—applying It to a fugitive slave—was
but a legal quirk. Shrewd and sharp, indeed, but
not approximating to, nor aiming for, the idea of
justice er humanity, or anything ennobling.
Then again, remember the reasoning which pre
ceded and accompanied Emancipation, and espe
cially recall the time the utterances weru made.
Our armies had been defeated; 100,000 men had
fallen on the field of battle or had died in the
hospitals. Our credit . ,was sinking, Europe was
about to recognize the South, dismay overhung
us on all sides, when, in September. '62, a warn
ivy proclamation was issued, threatening emanci
pation, as an aggressive retaliatory measure on
the South. The warning was unheeded, and on
January 1, 1863 the proclamation came emanci
pating slaves without and beyond the lines of the
Union armies, where it could not
be enforced, and specifically and emphatically
affirming and protecting slavery within the lines
of the Union armies—just where the Government
bad control of the subject. Well indeed, might
Mr. beward describe the proclamation as " a
Pope's bull against a comet ;" and such it might
{ -have been but for the series of victories which
followed within the next two years. True, that
as early as December, 1861, one noble mind had
proclaimed freedom, and in May, 1862, had or
ganized negro troops, with the distinct purpose,
first, of saving hie country, second, of elevating
the negro. I mean General Phelps, whose Ship
Island proclamation and whose regiments of
negro soldiers, organized at Carrollton, above
Now Orleans, were the key notes of that good
and grand policy which the disasters of the sum
mer and fall of 1862 wrung - from the Government.
In time came the float capitulation of rebel
armies and peace (if the mere absence of war can
be called peace), and the many schemes for the
reconstruction of the South, commencing with
none that distinctly conferred the franchise on
your race, and ending with the plan that demands
the franchise for you in seven of the ten rebel
States. Reflect for a moment on the confused
and murky history of this so recent period, and
free_ if in it all you do not derive the idea and come
to the conclusion that so much of suffrage as
your race enjoys at the South is due, not pri
marily to our sense of justice to you, but rather
to the blunders of the South in not accepting what
we first offered to them. Our passion, and not a
sense of justice, has guided us—if, indeed, we
have not conferred the suffrage, as we proclaimed
emancipation, more as a punishment to white
rebels than a reward to black loyalists.
The grand culmination of our plane of Recon
struction is the new or 14th section to the Con
stitution, which, as I understand it, permits a
State to disfranchise the colored race, or any
race, or anyportion of a race, and the penalty
to any State for so disfranchising her citizens is
a loss of congressional and electoral power, in
the ratio the number she may have disfranchised
bears to the whole number of her voting popula
tion. This, to my conception, is not exactly a
good Bill of Rights for the colored race. 4
Young men of this race, think over your rela
tions to the nation, and the nation's attitude to
ycu. Think over your position at this moment.
In this State you have no vote. Onlylast March,
of fifty-six Republicans in the House of Repre
sentatives, but eleven voted to amend the
Constitution and relieve you of this in
equality. In Ohio, the people, by a ma-
JorifY OT over_ .50,11 - 01417.tfife - da.doWii — ii
amendment. The Republican Platform, made at
Chicago last May, glorified negro prowess at the
South, and declared, as a measure of gratitude
and justice, they deserved the ballot, but war
portentously silent about the negro Noith.
Yon. have the ballot, in Louisiana and Georgia,
but so great is the terrorism there that you dare
not exercise it- Hitherto you have done nothing
for yourselves. You have submitted. Vedanta
rlly,we have done nothing for your improvement
and elevation. Inexorable necessity, not the
pure spirit of justice, has controlled us. ' From
the ominous morning in 1620, when a Dutch ship
`from „p tiinea introduced slavery by landing
twentf negroes in James River, Virginia, and
selling them to the colonists, up to this hour,
what have we, the white race, done to you and
for you? We have taught you to work for us.
•Wu 'have goaded yon with the lash; we have
found . out the smallest modicum of food that
would'stistain you, and the least amount of rai
l:tient' that , would protect you. We have kept
yen, in the darkest ignorance, debased your mo
, rale; prevented the development and growth of
'fatally ties and affections, and reduced you and
kept you as near to the level of the brute creation
as our ingenuity and your capacity would allow:
In doing this we have extirpated Feticism and
given you same rude ideas of Chelstianity and Me
lzation. We have taught you our vernacular and
have so Intertwined our relations with yon that
many of you are no longer Cuffed the Mending°,
QuaEhee the Dahomey man s and Dinah the
Guinea woman, but Peyton our first
cousin, Randolph our bcif brother, and Julia
our half sister. On our side it has been a
history of nearly two centurlea and a half of con
tinuous cruelty, oppression and outrage; on
yours it has been an unbroken history of uncom
plaining docility and acquiescence. And to-day
your long, unmurmuring patience tells against
you. There are many among those whom the
events of the war have made your friends who
cite your long submission as a reason why the
ballot ought not to be trusted to you. There are
many, too, who are not yet your friends, who
refer to it as the main reason why they think you
can never rise oat of your present low condition.
When we achieved our liberties, we, holding
your forefathere in bondage at the time, had the
audacity to proclaim that all men were created
equal and endowed by their. Creator with the
inalienable rights of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. When,
a few years later,we established our Constitution,
we recognized and guaranteed the perpetuity of
slavery. We were then, indeed, a nation of hy
pocrites and liars, and bad blindly trampled on
the plainest laws of God and the commonest in
stincts of humanity—and so we lived for more
than seventy years. And you, in all this time,
increased and multiplied and suffered; but you
strove not, nor struck a single blow for your
selves. So much of wrong and so much of en
durance could not last. In the Providence of
God the_ crisis came, the -blow was struck—we
were saied as a nation and you wore made free
as a people. But how little may we rejoice over
our returning sense of justice and humanity, and
how little may you boast of your daring,
your eacrificee and your heroism I We were
both but instruments. And if the result
is not to be attributed to our politicians, states
men and rulers, nor to your race, to whom then
is it to be ascribed? I firmly believe, under the
providence of God, the freedom of your race and
the new-born sympathy of our race for yours, is
due to that noble band of men and, women—the
• pea-secuted, the heroic, devoted, earnest-hearted
Abolitionists, who, commencing their
glorious work in 1831 persevered
in it, dividing societies, sects, churches
and panics, until they had awakened the con
science, touched the hearts of all the people, and
precipitated the contest. And of all these great
thinkers and doers, dedicated to tue cause of
Freedom, the grandest is their inflexible leader,
Wm. Lloyd Garrison. To him has been vouch
safed more than to any other reformer since
Luther, for he has lived to see rich fruition of his
labors. and now, in the evening of his days, con
templating the stormy past and the luminous
present, he may say, "f,under God, more than any
other lean caused this change."
Mx . frlends, I never was an Abolitionist. I
never had the honor of being one of that great
reforming band of far-sighted, self-sacrificing
patriots. lam only an old Democrat, with a
conscience which was aroused to action in 1848,
by the enormity of Calhoun's demand that
slavery should be sacred wherever the flag
floated. From that moment to the present I have
consistently tried to fight the monster and all its
litter of oppressions and inequalities in whatever
form they might appear. NVe old Democrats
have had to travel fast from that day—when re
sistance to the extension of slavery was our
uttima (hula--}I-to reach our present position.
Worse thee centuries of unrequited toil, worse
than the lash, the separation of famites, the tor
tures and burning of men, and wrongs done to
women, worse than all these is thelfrightfnl,
deep-seated, all-pervading and seemingly nn
eradicable prejudice against you, which' we, the
whites, have for generations successfully im
planted in the minds and hearts of our people,
aud which exists to-day in scarcely less percepti
ble force than before the rebellion broke out.
Your individual wrongs are over, but the proja
dice remains.
And thus, here we aro in November, 1868—in
the midst of the great problem which has grown
out naturally from your emancipation: How
can you be raised up and fitted for the duties: and
privil: gee of citizenship? The Presidential elec
tion has resulted favorably to your cause and to
ours. I think so. But, believing so, I ask my
self--How? To what extent? How and when
will we do equal and exact justice everywhere to
your race? The sanguine say it is now all right;
the elevation of the negro le now assured, for rev
olutions never go backward.
I, speaking my honest mind, toll you it is riot
all right; for prejudice, deep as the foundations
of mountains, and pervading as the atmosphere.
is yet to be dlssipated; suffrage and perfect equal
ity before the law everywhere is yet far off, abd
it is not true that revolutions never go back
ward. '
My friends, your race is but half—nay, not so
much as half—regenerated. I have spoken of
the new-born sympathy for you which exists
among us. It is indeed new-born—born out of
the throes of our agony, and never legitimately
conceived in the pure spirit of humanity and
justice—it is a week and sickly sympathy as yet,
and may at any time ebb out. It has recently
proved itself in Ohio before the people, and in
proved
in the Legislature, not' hardy
enough to give the suffrage to a fraction of your
race—and that fraction the most industrious,
wealthy and intelligent.
We, the whites, are not likely, soon, to suffer
as we did when the South was in rebellion, and
we shall not very soon need you again as soldiers.
Your late masters in Virginia, Mississippi and
Texas will now, moat probably, join with other
late slaveholders and rebels, and accepting the
results of the war as final, come back into Con
gress. We shall soon be all absorbed in the race
for material development and prosperity; the
energies and habits of our people for trade, re
presstd for the past eight years—in the
South especially—will soon burst forth in
a new career of trade and commerce.
The enlargement and settlement of our territory,
the development of the mechanic arts, of manu
factures, the increase of our commerce, the re
sumption of metallic payments, the decrease of
taxation, the curtailment of the national debt,
and the expansion of the power of the nation,
will be the schemes which will occupy all minds.
With whites, rebel and loyal, at the South and at
the North, bye-goner are about to become really
bye- gones, and the era of reconciliation and good
feeling is to follow. None, or at best but few,
will care specifically for the negro. As a class or
race you are about to be left alone.
The Freedmen's Bureau wilt soon cease its fos
tering care. The 14th section of the Constitu
tion practically pushes the welfare and status of
your race beyond the pale of national politics.
Both the great parties will probably prefer other
planks in their platforms than one for your ele
vation. Your late musters will be influential as
of old and the Democratic party will act with
them. Our party is hardly more than half con
vinced of thg justice and force of the best decla
re/pone it has made in your behalf. All will be
coneterned in other matters and indifferent about
your' interests. I repeat it—You are soon to be
left (done.
True, good men and women will still remem
ber your wants, and organize and foster institu
tions like this. Churches and societies will still
continue their eleemosynary and other aid. Some
of the press may continue to agitate in your be
half, but the Government and parties will lot
you alone. From this time your race, just
Emerged from centuries of the vilest bondage
ever inflicted on man, with but imperfect equality
before the law, are sent forth to struggle in the
battle of life, in an atmosphere of hate, with the
most unscrupulous,enterprising and adventukous
branch of the great governing Caucasian race—
s 'branch actuated by a prejudice against you
greater than any that ever existed outside the
religion, of BRAHMA.
I wish from the bottom of my heart that you
were better prepared for the con teat—that the
Freedmen's Bureau—the Republican party
—the Government would yet longer as
sume tutelage _gm yow not
fear the result. You will trlumph,but how much
time, how much suffering would you not be
saved, and how much more complete would be
your success, if yon could have the auxiliaries
for another four years which have sustained and
guided you for the past four.
Your great orator, perhaps your foremost rep
resentative, Frederick Douglass, has told me
personally, and he boldly proclaimed to the na
tion, long ago, that you are ready for the con
test; that all you desire hi equality before the
law,
for you have that - within yourselves which
will sustain you and bring'you to victory.
He bas substantially said, if I remember aright,
" Let those of us who are unequal to a fair strife
with`whites for'an honest livelihood perish; 'tie
better that they should, and create no more of
their kind; enough of us will remain to show the
world that we are worthy of freedom and all its
privileges—all its responsibilities." I have said,
in common with all true Antl-Slavery men: Bet
ter the race should die out hi freedom, than exist
by millions, if it can exist only in slavery.
On yourselves, my friends, from this time,reste
your future—your destiny. You may think that

Intelligence itself, for defence and protection, for
progress, prosperity anti- power,hut under the
new 14th section of the national Constitution,and
by amendments to State constitutions, the suff
rage can be taken away from yotnand it may be.
The new-born sympathy for you is not so active
as when the national life was in jeopardy. Re
action is everywhere manifesting its lf.: Observe,
the next Congress will have double as many re
presentatives antagonistic to your elevation as
the last; and 40,000 votes cast the other way in
the Presidential election, and polled in certain
States, would have placed your bitter, nnrelent
ing enemies, Seymour and Blair, •In power for
the next lour years, and plungetins itra` war of
races—possibly to your bXterminetion.
I repeat, everything depends on your
selves. What shall we do? is the question you
propound—and what a world is asked ! The
only answer that can be given is as vague as the
question le comprehensive. Doßroter. Mani
fest your capacity for all the , virtues, and culti
vate them. Make the contrast between your
new condition and your old as palpable as the
contrast of Light and Darkness.
The war found you slaves; it left you free. You
were almost without the sacred, most endearing,
humanizing and ennobling of all ties—the family.
Establish, maintain and cherish that. You were
incontinent—be chaste. You were in the darkest
ignorance—cokne out of it. Yon performed
regular, continuous, enforced labor, under
the lash, for no pay—perform regular
continuous, voluntary labor for wages. You
were wasteful and reckless—become thrifty and
prudent. Your word was never trusted—make it
to be relied upon. Yon made free with whatever
was near you—respect the property.and rights of
others. These are a few of the essential changes
'necessary to be made. Away down thus deep,
into the very bottom stratum of all that makes
character, have we to dig, so profound has bean
the abyss in which our inhumanity has burled
your original, God-given qualities of love and
of manhood.
These changes and improvements in your
Morals, your affections, your habits, and your .
condition must be made, and made at once, and
rapidly extended, in order that the prejudice
against your race may be first arrested, then con
ciliated find removed or overcome.
Yes! the Caucasian race is strongly prejudiced
not more against the color of your skin and your
features than against your ignorance and other
peculiarities which slavery has entailed upon you.
These things gave us no trouble when we owned
you, but now that you are to share the ballot
they are most offensive to us. I shall not seek
to explain this towering arrogance of my race—
but I do insist on the absolute truth of the state
ment. Remember, it is this domineering race
that holds the power,and it is not less sound pol
icy on your part to please them by these changes,
than it Is a paramount duty to yourselves—
to Humanity—to God.
Religion, K not the most potential cause and
nen t,ets has generally been conceded,in civilizing
and elevating man, has at all times been the first
cause and the first agent. It `has brought
the African race in America from the groveling
worship of Fetish idols to the understanding
and worship of a pure faith; and thank God, you
their descendants, are to-day fellow-Christians,
and not idolstore. This is immense to start with.
BM while the Church, by its preachers and mis
sionaries—its schools and societies—le doing a
vast work, and among the rising generation espe
cially, it cannot do that other work, which, ac
cording to the theory of Buckle in his History of
Civilization, is the most efficient.
That writer contends that intellectual agencies,
and in that term he includes the sciences and
mechanic arts, condude more to the speedy, high
and permanent civilization of man, than simple
religions or moral agencies, for the reason, as ho
alleges, that religion and morals are perfect at
their first promulgation.and unchangeable, while
the former are progressive, and ever-varyng,
causing new wants in man, and providing them
for him. Be this as it may—(and I trust
the reverend professors will not take umbrage at
this view or hint of my antbor-thit - 1 - have thus
imperfectly thrown out to the student , which, if
. not exactly orthodox, Is, I hope, not offensive
nor interdicted—your race, my friends, to-day,
besides the debasement and gross ignorance wo
have fastened upon you, is generally without
knowledge or experience in any trade or pursuit
but agricultnre,.and that of the rudest kind. Ag
riculture and servile domestic labor occupy at
least nine-tenths of the 4,500,000 who compose
the colored race in our country,North as well as
South. In the South a few are rode mechanics
and' manufacturers, if the spinning and twisting
of tobacco can be called a manufacture. A still
smaller number at the South are pilots,
engineers, assistant engineers and fire
men on steamboats, locomotives and
on stationary engines at sugar plantations and
saw mills. With all the manifold horrors of
slavery, there were at the South when the rebel
lion broke out a far greater number of slaves fol
lowing mechanical pursuits and in responsible po
sitions, in pronoi tion to population, too,than there
were of free blacks at the North following similar
pursuits or holding like positions. The explan
ation is in the fact that masters encouraged the
employment of the moat intelligent of their
slaves in the mechanic arts for the great gains
they accumulated thereby—and so common was
this training of slaves to mechanical skill becom 2
ing, that in Virginia it was in contemplation to
forbid it by legislation. The free blacks at the
North have bed to follow servile occupations,
for prejudice would not tolerate rivalry with
work along side of white mechanics.
To-day, in Pniladelphia, I know of but few col
ored mechanics except shoemakers, and I regret
to say I'do not hear of any that are anxious to
have their children taught the mechanic arts. I
know of but one engineer in that city, and he is
self-taught. He stands well in his profession and
has charge of a steamer trading between Phila
delphia and the District of Columbia.
With your freedom comes perfect liberty of ac
tion. You may now diversify your labor as
much as you please. That you will need instruc
tors, and that they will be difficult to find—that
the mighty prejudice against you stalks here, as
everywhere, is true—but dismissing this difficulty
for the present let me ask : Does the colored
race show a desire to acquire a knowledge
of the mechanic arts? Has it ever
evinced an aptitude for them ? Personally,
so far as my observation has extended,
I answer both these question's affirmatively, to a
certain extent, and under considerable excep
tions—but more heartily, however, to the latter
question. I believe it is generally conceded that
there is more of capacity to acquire than desire
to learn the mechanic arts. One thing is certain,
my friends, that without an average knowledge
of them, no race, or community of men, in this
age of material power and progress, no matter
howlav_oreclitte race or community may be, can
be other than a weak and inferior people. You
have yet to dart in these branches ot labor. The
knowledge of trade and commerce, so much
easier to acquire and more alluring.to pursue, aro
infinitely less independent, or efficient for the im
provement of your race. se to teachers—let but
the colored youth show the disposition to
acquire the scientific and mechanical
arts, and have sufficient rudimentary education
to commence, and if white master mechanics and
others still refuse to teach them, Manual Labor
Colleges, with workshops and steam-engines and
machinery and tools andloboratories,and instruc
tors, and all the means and appliances, will spring
let° existence as this University has.' Begin,!
Begin ! You have given—especially hero at the
North—as many of your children, for generations
past, to be servants, and barbers, and bootblacks
and whitewashers, as is necessary to keep those
occupations from being lost and forgotten. Let
your children now become mechanics.
To fit oneself for the proper discharge of the
duties of a freeman and a citizen and to become
a mechanic, one must have the rudiments of
education, at least;; one must be able to road,
to write, and to understand the first
primary rules of arithmetic. This, your first
want - at the - Startle, has - bean partially p - rOVId - Od
for, and for the past four years schools have
been open and teachers busy At this moment
not less than 20,000 teachers,allowing cne teacher
to every 40 pupils, are needed to instruct the
millions of blacks of both sexes at the South
under 25 years of age. And as colored teachers
have been found to be more successful than white
teachers, what an immense work this opens to
you, and to us, to train up rapidly the more in
telligent and apt, that they may .commence this
glorious work without delay.
And when these teachers are found, or made,
and sent forth on their simple but most im
portant work, how are they to be inspired to a
higher conception of their missions,
and trained to tt hotter know
ledge of discharging them? How shall
intelligent, learned, cultivated negro ministers of
Christ be found in every county of the South?
How shall liberally educated negro teachers and
professors be furnished for the higher schools
and academies for the negro,youth of the South?
How are negro editors, negro physicians and
negro lawyers to be provided for the negro race
Eolith? How are all these instructors and guide

to be made, that the entire negro race may be
educated, developed, trained, improved and eul
tivated to its highest capacity?
Ibis work can be accomplished only by this
noble University—by its exten s ion , and duplica
tion, and reduplication, and by similar colleges
specifically dedicated to the same purpose. You,
my young friends, are among the first of that
band who 'are to train yourselves, to gird on
your armor and go forth and battle in the
great work of elevating your race to
the level of their new station, their
new privileges, their new responsibility.
Perhaps you would ask tue, just here, why
SO much concern about the intellectual develop
ment of the negro, simply because you have con
ferred the suffrage on him, when you, the proud
Calleasian governing race, have allowed the same
saline to masses of ignorant disloyal whitte,
who have voted against the preservation of the
Government itself? Why not freely trust the
negro with confidence, for in despite of his ig
norance be has never voted wrong, nor acted
wrong to his country? I reply—if there is
any principle connected with our system of Re
publican government which is universally un
challenged, it is the axiomatic truth that our sys
tem rests absolutely on the virtue and intelli
gence of the people.
A distinguished statesmen residing not far off
recently said: "Hero is what I conceive to be the
great problem of the age: Can a Republican Gov
ernment be preserved? In other words, is there
virtue and intelligence enough in any people to
maintain it? and I confess . in humiliation, when
you ask me for my answer, that I do not know."
Professor Wickersham, the General Superinten
dent of the Public Schools of the State, in his ad
dress last week, before the Teachers,' Institute
of this county, when quoting these remarks,
added: "And when you ask me this question I
frankly say Ido not know." I, an obscure citi
zen, have often asked myself the same question,
and the response has immediately been: I do not
know. Every year adds to the number of re
flecting minds who propound this question, and
still the answer is inconclusive.
And yet with this pregnant doubt everywhere
obtruding itself, we have recently conferred stif
f rage—i. e. equal participation in government—
on a race whiett,but a year or two since we would
not trust with their own persons or family.
Have we by this gift of the franchise enlarged
the foundations of virtue and intelligence on
which our institutions rest? Have we thereby
obtained new securities for the future? This
mighty problem is yet to be worked out. I be
lieve we have gained fresh guarantees—because
at lastvie have become consistent with our
fb
pledges the world—of our faith in Man—and
are sincerely working to praCtically carry out the
principles of our sublime Declaration. But how
great is the faith. how responsible our position,
and bow awful the consequences if failure should
ensue!
Your race must march armee with us, abreast
1 if you can, but with us even if you have to be
dragged along. We cannot separate.
"For laws of changeless Justice bind
Oppressor with oppressed :
And close as sin and suffering joined,
We march to fate abreast.,
We must secure our foundations by enlarging
a7,lrtuo and intelligence of your race and of
o r own, of every family and offshoot of both,
d of whatever other races that now or hereafter
may compose the American people—else the days
of the Republic may be counted. Universal Suf
frage I conceive to be an indispensable necessity.
and without it no government can be just, liberal
and stable. It proclaims the equality of man, se
cures equality of rights, and promotes fraternity.
Stripping man of all Impediments to progress, it
leaves him free and urges him onward and up
ward, and his advance is limited only by his ig
norance, his passions, and his vices. The most
debased classes are less vile with the ballot than
without it. Manhood recognized, of itself ex
cites to better things; and generations born to
ignorance and vice, under universal suffrage
grow to the full stature of good citizens.
The fathers solemnly enjoined onus the primal
and paramount necessity of educating all thc.
people, if we would preserve the priceless legacy
of free government they bequeathed to us. Not
withstanding our grand system of free, universal
education at the North, there Is an immensity
yet remaining to be done, here as well as at the
South, among the white as well as among the
colored, to preserve our free government. It
is but a few years since, when it was a common
faith that our Republican system was as secure
as the eternal hills, and that we were the favored
of the earth—favored as no other people ever had
been—to whom no ill could happen, so far re
mover 'swEre •we from the causes which had
brought calamities on all other nations and
peoples.
In our pride, we said: "Universal liberty and
equality has given us a model system of Gov
ernment; power is defined, and is forever
flowing back to the people from whom it ema
nates. They determine by universal- suffrage
who shall govern and what policy shall prevail,
and the minority acquiesce in the fair expression
of the public voice. Universal suffrage will for
ever preserve this temple of liberty. No civil
wars for power can ever ensue, for the ballot is a
quicker and surer method of establishing rightful
authority. Nor can there even be a war growing
out of religious persecution for universal tolera
tion
and freedom of speech, and of the press,
make that impossible. Nor can wars arise, from
the inequality of wealth, for wise laws have pro
hibited its entailment, and it, like power, is
forever running back to the people.
Nor can wars arise from destitution or famine,
for there are unlimited acres of land of unsur
passed fertility and cheapness, and with the
climate of all zones." Thus we rejoiced in oar
blessings, claiming to be wiser in our govern
ment than all of Greek, or Roman or modern
fame, exempt as no other people ever were
from miseries and woe; and even as we re
joiced, civil war broke out among us, rocking
our temple to its very corner-stone and covering
the land with desolation and death in every
form. And assassination, the foul political
weapon of the dark ages,become a Power among
Tle—the murderous bullet triumphed over the
freeman's vote. Thus were we humbled, re
buked, chastised and overwhelmed with war
and its appallng train of horrors and crime—
thus fell THE GREAT Marcryst even as he uttered
charity for all and malice towards none. What
a tremendous exorcism of our impious crime of
Slavery !
And are we redeemed? Have we paid all the
penalty by mere restitution? Are our centuries
of crime expiated? Have we contracted no new
vices? What evils have we yet to be purged of ?
The same distinguished statesman whom I have
quoted, speaking of the late civil war, said :
"It was a stupendous school of vice, North
and South. We have lost more in one war by
the adulteration of virtue than by the expendi
ture of treasure. We have acquired new habits
and new thoughts, and unless we shall soon come
under strong restraints, liberty will be, must be
lost." Must we,ero the first century of our power
. has rolled away, must we confess to the com
mencement of our decline?—and foreseeing our
early fall, exclaim with the poet :
"Here is the moral of all human tales;
'Tie but the same rehearsal of the past,
First Freedom and then Glory—when that fails,
Wealth, Viee, Corruption—barbarism at last."
—lf there is this adulteration of virtue, if new
habits and new thoughts are enervating and de
basing us, we must purify the one and extirpate
the others. No party ref elves or legislative ac
tion can medicine these ills. Private morals and
political morals can only be purified—the virtue
and the intelligence of the people only be in
creased and intensified—by persistent private ac
tion. 'With volt, my colored friends, and you,
Reverend Clergy and learned Professors, and
you,
ladies and gentlemen '
and with us all,
whether old or young, rich or poor, rests the
treatment. Personal effort and example is the
remedy, and there is no one so mighty but
should, nor any so obscure but can assist in se
curing and widening the foundatioha on which
the temple of our liberty is built.
But war,too,has its bright side,its idealizing as
pirations, its quickening impulses, its ennobling
"TeirebingOts grand regenerations.
-My young colored friends, I have spoken to
you with directness and in plain terms, without
reserves, explanation or apology for anything
which might sound harsh or be susceptible of
misconstruction.
I have assumed that my motives could not be
misunderstood, and that I am addressing young
gentlemen of considerable education and some
experience, who know too much to be morbidly
sensitive, who don't wish to be flattered or pa
tronized, but who wish to know all they can
of the views and opinions their friends have of
the present and future of the Anglo-African race
and our common country. Were you other than
you are—were you plantation hands for example,
my remarks would be different, but my sincere
deeire to assist your race not a whit less.
' You are the elite of your people, gathered
within the walls of this University, to train and
fit yourselves for the educating and elevating of
your race,and because you are such and no other
I shall continue my remarks in the same direct,
plain manner. . .
My friends, the conferring of the franchise on
yourpeople is not popular. The. Democratic
8 . ,
party, comprising nearly one halt the nation, arc
fiercely arrayed against it, and ' more than half the
Republican party, in my deliberate opinion, dis
like it or fear it, and of the remaining portion
only about a moiety are active and zealous - .
in their championship for it. I have said
it was conferred upon you more as a
punishment to white rebels than
as a reward to black loling& That you
have it South is an accident., It is one of the tew
things realized which is due to the leaders of
party rather than to the people who make leaders
and then lead them. There are exceptions to all
rules, and there are exceptions to this assertion
of mine. Theris were, and there arc, leaders in
Congress who aro leaders among the people.
They are the exceptions, and brightest, best of
them all was single-hearted, glorious old Tinto-
DRUB th 'EVENS, to whom you owe the suffrage. His
was a life devoted to justice and to you. Cherish
his memory. Revere his name, and teach it to
your children and to your latest generation.
Negro suffrage, - if not popular, is nevertheless a
fact. It is a grand fact. You may say, what
care we whether it be popular or not—it is a fact
in seven of the ten rebel States and will soon bo a
fact in the remaining three States, inwhich 1,200.000
of vs live—a third of our whole population. Bat,
my friends, will it be fact two years hence? And
when Will it be fact in Pennsylvania, in Ohio, in
Kentucky. Maryland and Delaware, wherein 480,-
000 of you reside, about a tenth of your whole
number? Why hardly half of you have yet got
the ballot. Let us reflect. At the present time
there is more consideration being given to the
subject of universal suffrage, more doubt and
misgivings felt about it, more radical,
bold out-spoken theories concerning it,
than ever before in the land. This doubt and dis
cussion is not confined to either party, or to any
race, or to any condition of society or period of
the. There is doubt on the value and efficacy cf
universal suffrage now in places where heretofore
its worth was unchallenged. Some complain of
the ignorant foreign vote, and divide and sub
divide their complaints by nativities and by sects;
others complain of the ignorantnative-born vote,
and all of frauds and corruption. Some urge a
moral, others an intellectual, others a property
qualification ! but all demand a restriction. A
change limiting or restricting the suffrage, in my
judgment, would mark the commencement of a
decline in our system of government, and be a
confession ofpartial failure.
The doubt felt and the interest shown in this
vital feature has been developed and intensified
by our granting the suffrage to your people. We
have to meet the objections urged against the ex-,
tension of the suffrage—that's our fight. You
have to combat prejudice—that's your fight. And
what a stupendous conflict it is! It will be in
civil strife more than over yet has been imposed
on man. You Anglo-Africane,supposed to be the
weakest of the human race, are entering into a
contest such as the strongest never had to fight.
You, four to ilve millions 'in number—
one-eighth or at most one-sixth of whom are of
intermixed white blood and the remainder of
pure African descont,most of whom canna road,
and nine-tenths of whom have recently boon
slaves—aro to be pitted against what is held to be
a superior race and to be tried and judged by its
standard.
What is summoned up against yon? Oh! it is
a frightful mass of prejudice, error and truth.
That you aro a distinct race from us; that you
are black, and were designed by Almigaty God to
be apart from no, or, 'if with no, to be our hew
ers or wood and drawers of water; that there is a
natural, universal and uneradicable aversion in
all white mon to you; that yon have ever been
barbarians of the mostsbject kind at home; that,
though multitudinous as 'the insects in the air,
you are as powerless as they; and, though occu
pying one.tifth of the dry land of the globe from
the Creation, you have never progressed out of
barbarism, as all other nations and
peoples have; that you have no
written language, no laws, no buildings,
or works of mechanical art, nor cities, nor
towns; that yon have no constructive power
whatever, have made no sacrifices, performed no
glorious deeds, no hero ever led you to battle
nor bard sang your deeds; that you have no an
nals, nor traditions, nor legends; that such as
your race has ever been in Africa, such it ever
will be there, and such it will be here, whenever
you are left to your own volition. Ethnologists
scientifically demonstrate by the thickness of
your cranium, your facial angle, cartilaginous
and osseous systems that you are very inferior;
and orthodox divines, from Professors Nehemiah
Adams and Nott, and Bishop Hopkins, down to
Deacon Pogram and Elder Gavitt,of the X Roads,
have proved by the Bible that you are descended
from Ham,and are therefore accursed; and,iinally
that you have ever patiently submitted to oppres
sion and even kissed the rod that chastened you.
It is your fight to counteract all this. We have
it constantly cast in our teeth, and we are asked
—Would you confer suffrage on a race so low
grovelling, tame and powerless, so imbrated
with sufferng and ignorance, and pretend to
make independent and intelligent voters of them?
We meet the Issue, and answer Yes. Be it just as
you say in regard to them. We believe In their ca
pacity for virtue. We still answer Yes! The negro
is man—you admit that—and granting that tact
you grant everything. We have faith in man.
be he black or white, yellow or red—Caucasian,
Ethiopian, Indian, Malay or Mongolian—we
have laith in his almost divine capacity for pro
gress and elevation.
My friends, you see how exacting we are going
to be with you. We will insist upon the highest
tests known to us. Should a negro offer to speak,
he must be an orator of the first class—but on
that score you, I well know, have no fear—for
you have the natural aptitude or gift of oratory,
and your own Douglass, Garnett and others have
hewn the path in that direction. As sailors, as
soldiers and as agriculturists, you need not fear
comparison—and here I must stop. All the rest
is terra incognita, and You are to be the guides to
lead your people there.
What have you not to do to bring them up to
an average level? All of science is to be mas
tered by some of you. Every branch and de
partment of mechanics is to be acquired and re
tained Land transmitted by masses of your race;
and so with skilled agriculture—specialties in
theology, law, medicine, politics, and the fine
arts, must have proper devotion paid to them.
And while your race aro following these intel
lectual pursuits, forget not to cultivate the af
fections as well as the mind. Believe me, the
heart is as magnetic and moving as the brain,
and its cultivation is by no means the least duty
man owes to his race.
Students of the Lincoln University! The
thoughts I have thrown out are such as have
often occurred to me in my most secret commun
ing with myself. I believe them aIL They point
to your highest duties and involve the greatest
responsibilities. If I have any one desire
stronger than another, it is that you may prove
incontestably, by your learning, your adaptation
to the vocations of life, and by your humanities,
that you are children of our Father, and that
your ultimate destiny may be made as high as
that of the mostjavored of the world. Let me
beseech you nufflr to forget what you have been
and what you may be, for in this way you will
be constantly schooling yourselves in branches
not taught by men, and you will be possessed of
an ethics which will secure to you an awaiting
reward In time and in eternity.

Fourth Auditor J. W. Tabor, of the Treasury
Department, has submitted to Secretary McCul
loch his annual report for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1868. It shows in detail what work has
been done in the Bureau during the year, which
will, be indicated by giving the summary made by
the several gentlemen in charge of divisions, as
followa: Record division, letters received and
w
— briefed;23,6s9; lettersrition - , - 32,753. Req11181;
tion division, cash requisitions entered amount ,
big to $30,512,704; refunding,. requisitions,

$95,047. Prize money division, claims re
ceived, 7,011; settled; 6,879; amount dis
bursed, $438.625. Pension and marine division,
accounts settled, 315; amount disbursed, $1,772,-
968; pensioners added to list, 466. Allotment dl
vision, letters written 1,638; allotments adjusted,
1,000. Paymasters ' division, accounts received,
273; settled,32l; cash disbursements, $16,050,375;
navy agents' division , vonchers examined, 90,000;
cash disbursements, $26,480,323; general claim
division, claims received, 4,114: adjusted, 4,003;
amount involved, $219,305. The Auditor enters
into considerable explanation of the work in his
bureau, from which it appears that his showing
for this year is not so good as for last year, •
because ho has been obliged to•spend•much time
mid labor on afow accounts,
being those of the
paymasters appointed early in the war, who kept
their papers in a very bungling and inaccuTitte
manner, so that their adjustment has required an
extraordinary amount of industry and diligence.
Ho congratulates himself and the Secretary that
a final disposition has been made of very many
troublesome cases. Ho closes with the remark
that the amount of work coming to his bureau
will be less when the business occasioned by the
war is cleared off, and necessary records now in
progress are completed, and that ho will then re
commend tbo discharge of such clerks as are not
needed.—Press.

ike Election Frauds In New York•
The committee appointed by the Union League
of New York city to consider the subject of
alleged frauds in the election in that city, have
made a preliminary report stating the facts which
have already been testified to betore the courts,
in the case of Rosenberg. rehearsing the coati
dentin! circular sent by the Tammany managers
to the rural districts previous to the election, and
Mayor liotiman'a proclamation, and alluding
to cases of violence and „ terrorism at the
polls. tui being among the measures plotted to
change the vote of the State.
It is, perhaps, impossible, they say, that we
are without remedy against the stupendous frauds
perpetrated against the people. It may be that
our State and Congressional legislation, antici
pating; no, such crime, bas proceeded noon the
supposition that our judges and' other offi
cials would be uniformly protectors of the
franchise, and never the tools of conspira
tors against its purity. It may be that,
for two years' we must submit 'to the wrong
ful rule of .usurpers, who have effected a
temporary triumph over men honestly chosen
by the people, and this in the face of proofs that
compel the belief that Democratic majorities were
obtained by fraud. But if this be so, we find our
selves without redress or indemnity for the past.
It is due to ourselves and our children, to the na
tion and the world, that we eater. our protest
against the wrong. and that we obtain, by all,
proper means, ample security for the future.
They say they disbelieve the averment that
frauds were committed by , both parties, and say
they hope the Mayor and his associates, who pro
clamed it. will bring to justice every Republican
who may have been' guilty of so foul a crime.
They conclude by stating that the coarse they in
tend to pursue is, the gathering of proof which
shall satisfy Congress and the State Legislature
that the Democratic majorities for the Electoral
and State tickets were fraudulently obtained; also,
to secure legislation to protect the parity of the
franchise, and induce good whets to combine for
common protection against political fraud and
corruption. —They have opened an office at -No.
258 Broadway, for this purpose.
