They are of si importance that we with conti teace patiently await the desired coustmmation, that will surely come with the natura! pro. gress of evects. It may uot be Improper here to say that it should beour fixed and unalterable deter- mipation to protect, by all available and proper means, under the Coustitution aal enjoyment of their rights aud privileges; aud Lurge upon those to whom heretofore the colored people have sustained the relation of bondmen, the wisdom and justice of ha- Toane and liberal local legislation with re- spect to their education and geveral welfare. A firm adherence to the laws, both national of the colored people, now eed to full and equal citizeoship; the mediate re- pression and sure punishment by the uation - #! and local autherities, within their Tes pec- tive jurisdictions, of every instance of law- leseiiess and vielence toward them,is requir- ed for security alike of both races, and is Jjustiy demanded by the public opinion of the counury aud the age. In this way the restor- ation of harmovy and good wil, and the complete protection of every citizen, right, Will surely be attamed. Woaatever to the power Of Congress and the jurtediction of the courts Of the Union, they may coufi- dently be relied upon to provide ai perform. Aud to the legislatures, the courts, and the executive authorities of the several states 1 earnestly appeal lo secure, by adequate, ap- propriate, abd seasonable means, within their bore 7s, these common and ‘uniform rights of a united people which loves liberty, abtors oppression, and revyeres justice. Th -e objec. are very dear io my beart. I shall continue most ear estly to strive for their allainment. The cordial co operation of all clas: f ail sections of the country {an early reiucn of | cum and of both races—is required for this pur- pore; and with these blessings assured, and hot otherwise, we may safely hope to hand cown our free institutions of government unimpatred to the generations that will suc- us.

In the which is the intrin: | public jndgmect that this end should be soughtand compassed as speedily and se- curely as the resources of the people and the witdom of their government can accom. plish, there is a much greater degree of una- | Bimity than is found to concur in the spe- | Cifie measures which will bring the coun! ry to this desired ed, or the rapidity of the Steps by which ft can be saiiyreacton. liberate ex- imy duty to ‘poD @ Most anxious and de! amination which I have felt it give to the subject, I am but the more con- iu the opinion which I ex, in accepting the somination for ihe Presidency | and again upon my inau: jon, that the icy of resumption be pursued by very suitable means, and that no legisla- tion would be wise that should d: the im} ce or retard the attainment of that result.

By the terms of the treaty, defining the rights, iremunities and privileges of con. suls, between Italy and the United States, Tatifivd in 186s, either government may, &iter the lapse of ten years, terminate the existence of the treaty by giving tweive months’ notice of its lutention. The govern- meut of ltaly, availing itself of tnis facalty, bas now given the required notice, and the treaty will, accordingly, end on the Iith of September, i878 It is understood, however, that the Italian government w.shes to renew it, in its general scope, desiring only certain Modifications In some of itsarticies.
