you well know I have had abund’mt oppor-

' and that my sympathies have. been with
them from the commencement of. the agitao.
tion of slavery in the - United States. To
continue now ' to keep up the prejudice of
cast and aggravate the fury or passions en-
gendered by the late civil war, becauasln the
issues of that. war the colored people have
home so conspicuous a part, is degrading to
our species. We ought alwa to have in
mind that they were not out _ harry immi~
grants to the United States, but were the vic-
tims of our race, and brought there by force
for mercenary purposes. The vicissitudes of
war having changed their condition in life,
and being among us and forming part If the
community, it lsour duty as fellow mortals
and _as Christians to striveto ameliorate their
condition _; and it is no less, our bounded du-
ty than our interest to, do so. Advancing
the colored race will not degrade the white,
but will only tend to keep the two races
more distinct, to their mutual advantage.
The instances of internist-tying where. they
are upon an equality are very rare. Educate
the colored people and put them upon an
equality before the law, with equal rights
and privileges, and they, too. would consid-
er it contaminating and degrading to their
species to unite or cohabit with any other.
What have we to fear by this simple act of
justice to this long oppressed people?
.' My-first impressions of the abominations
of slavery ‘ were; made upon a sugar planta-
tion in Louisiana in 1884, and confirmed by
subsequent visits to that and other southern
states up to 1859. In the mean timeI
visited all the principal ports in the Brazlls,
several of theBritisb, French, Danish and
Spanish West India Colonies, and” resided
some years in one of the latter '; in 1840
passed some months in Africa, and there
made the acquaintance of the veteran mis-
sionary, Mr. Fox, of the Wesleyan Mission
Society of London, who had been thirty
years in Africa. I visited his Sunday and day
schools, and obtained much valhable futon
motion from him respecting thosb people in
their native home, and in various parts of
the country where he had traveled. Since
January 1888, I have been upwards of two
year-fin ’this’ country and travelled a‘gre'at
deal amonst them. It will, therefore, readi-
ly be conceded that I have had such ‘oppor-
tunities as few others have had of seeing the
pure African in his worst as well as his most
favorable position, and also the mixed race;
and I do not‘hesitate' to give it as my candid
opinion, founded upon such observations,
that they are but little, if any inferior to the
:whites in mental capacity; while in ‘lllllly of

in Sacramento, being in attendance upon

and thus had opportunity to become acquaint-
ed with its noticeable features. I took several
horseback rides before breakfast with Revb
Dr. Dwinell who is the able poster of the
Congregational church. We visited the new
capitol. It is planned on a- magnificent
scale, but already before the walls are half
their intended height; it is found that tho
foundation is not secure, resting on no rocky
substratum but merely on the alluvial soil of
the valley. It. is becoming a vexed question

however, quite agree with Mr. Blackwood
that “nature is inexorable in punishing in-
fractions upon her laWS,” of which there was
a memorable instance in the Western part of
this island about the year 1800. The mixed
race demanded political equallity 'with their
father race; which, being refused they at
length became so numerous that they at-
tempted to obtain it by force, but finding
they were likely to beoverpowered by the
whites,.they affiliated with, and called in the
aid of the blacks, their motherrace, and the
two annihilated the whites. This has been

more secure than in any of them—we must
remember what they have had to contend

and the prejudice of cast until quite recently
