He ked God that the obstacle in the White House had gote to Tennessee. They should not harbor malice, for he believed that it was the will of God that our last President should turn against them, and thus test them and fire their bearts to more earnest endeavors or they would not have secured emanc:pation so completely. The colored men were not only tree now, but in both the North and the South they nad the right to vote and to be voted for. It was a cause for congratalation that President Grant ‘was in the White House. Those who contend- ed that he would go back on them weuld have to acknow! that he was leading them right strai, rward, and would do what was right by them. He (the Senator) had just voted tocend a black man w Hayti, and he was con- by an almost unanimous vote. He had also voted to piace ‘® black man as mm the proud and hevgbty capital of South Carolina, and the Senate had sent a black man e assessor to the great commercial lew Orleans—the city of such men in and Slidell; he had voted an Indian to an important posi- sented to the ‘Wes Bothing, the wer im this world.

[Applauseand entha- sinstic cheericg.} ‘ Professor Vasnon, of Pennsylvania, having been introuuced by the chairman, proceeded to address the people in a very eloquent man- ner at considerable length.
