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 THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PIIILADELPHI the suffrage possessed by you now in seven of the ten rebel States is a guarantee for the fir tare. , Trust it not. I do not mean to decry its priceless, worth to man. .It is stronger' . than , wealth, or 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 ; SATURDAY, NO VEMBER 14, 1868. 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.

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. /61,464,600 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. 721,828 622,887,881 181,155,777 29,108,052 9,598,627 5,670,884 4,110,439 11,719,3.55 1,534,062 The following la We =Loam 01 coal transported over the Philadelphia 'and Reading Railroad, daring the week ending Thursday, Nor. 12, 1248 Prom St. Port Carbon. ..........
