PATRIOT ISM OF THE BLACK ALLIES—WHAT HE THINKS OF THEM. INDIANAPOLIS, July 1.—The full text of Gen. Harrison’s speech to the ITarrison Club, a colored organization, which called upon him last night, is as follows : Mr. Bagpy AND GENTLEMEN OF THE HARRISON CLUB: I assure you that I have a sincere respect for, and a very deep interest in, the colored people of the Unitea States. My memory as a_ boy goes back to the time when States. 1 was born upon the Ohio river, which was the boundary between the free State of Ohio and the slave State of Kentucky. Some of my earliest * recollections relate to the stirring and dramatic interest which was now and then excited by the pursuit of an es- caped slave, or the hope of offered rewards. Iremember as a boy wandering through my grand~- father’s orchard at North Bend, and in pressing through an alder thicket that grew on its margin, I saw sitting in the midst a color- ed man with the frightened look of a fugitive in his eye, and at~ tempting to satisfy his hunger with some walnuts he had gather-~ ed. He noticed my approach with a fierce startled look, to see whether I was likely to betray him, I was frightened myselt, and left him in some trepidation, but I kept his secret. I have seen the progress which has been made in the legislation relating to your race and what) the race has made itself since that day. WhenI came to Indiana to reside the unfriendly black code was in force. My memory goes back to the time when colored witnesses were first allowed to appear in Court in this State to testify in cases where white men were parties. Prior to that time, as you know, you had been ex~- cluded trom the right to tell in court, under oath, your side of the story in any legal controversy with white mer. The laws per- mitted your coming here, but in every way you were at a disad- vantage, even in the free States. I have lived tosee this unfriend- ly legistation removed from our statue books and the unfriendly sections of our State constitution repealed. Ihave lived not only to see that, but to see the race emancipated and slavery extinct. Nothing gives me more pleasure amung the great results of the war than this. History will give a prominent place in the story of this great war to the fact that it resulted in making all men free and gave to you equal civil rights. The imagination and art of the poet the tongue of the orator, the skill of the artist will be brought under contribution to tell this story of the emancipation ot the souls of men. [Applause and cries of “amen.”] Nothing gives me so much gratification as a Re- publican as to feel that in a/] the steps that led to this great result, the Republican party sympathizes with you, pioneered for you in legislation, and was the architect of those great measures of relief which haveso much ameliorated your condition. [Applause.] I know nownere in this country of a monument that I behold with so much interest, that touches so deeply my heart, as that monu- ment at Washington representing the proclamation of emancipation by President Lincoln, the kneel- ing black man at the feet of the martyred President, with the shackles falling from his limbs. I remember your faithfulness during the time of the war. I re- member your faithful services to the Army as we were advancing through an unknown country. We could always depend upon the faithfulness of the black man. [Cries of “Right you are”] He might be mistaken, but he was never talse. Many atime in the darkness of night have those faithful men crossed to our lines never forget a scene that I saw when Sherman’s army marched through a portion of North Car- ola, between Raleigh and Rich- mond, where our troops had never before been. The colored people had not seen our flag since the banner of treason was set up in its stead. As we were passing through a village the colored peo~ ple flocked out to see once more the starry banner of freedom, the emblem of promise and security of their emaneipation. I remem- ber an aged woman, over whom nearly a century of slavery must have passed, pressed forward to see this welcome banner, that to!d her that her soul would go over into the presence of her God. I remember her exaltation of spirit as she dauced in the dusty road before our moving column, and like Miriam, of old, called upon her soul to rejoice in the deliver- ance which God has wrought by the coming ot those who stood for, and made secure, the Proclama- tion of Emancipation. [ Applause. | I rejoice in all that you have accomplished since you have been free. I recall no scene more pathetic than that which I have often seen about our camp-fires. An aged man, a_ fugitive from slavery, had found freedom in our camp. After a day of hard work, when taps had sounded and the lights in the tents were out, I have seen him, with the spelling book that the chaplain had given him, lymg prone upon the ground, taxing his old eyes and pvinting with his hardened finger to the letters of the alphabet as he en- deavored to open to his clouded mind the avenues of information and light. I am glad to know that that same desire to increase and enlarge your information pos- sesses the race to-day. It is the open way for the race to that remove remaining prejudices and secure to you in all parts of the land an equal and just participa- tion in the government of this country. It canrot much longer be witbholden from you. Again, Ithank you for your presence here to-night, and will be glad to take by the hand any of you who may desire to see me. [Great applause.] * ee LOVE AND HATE. Look you, the man whom you hate,—are there not woman who worship him? Who sees the true man,—you who hate him, or they who love him? Loveisa divine delight, it reaches out over and around its object into the illimit- able, it 1s a part of the Over-Soul, of the Infinite, of God. Hatred is painful, it strains and racks the body, it blinds the vision, it makes man conscious of his mortal limi- tations. Love sees the virtues that are of the soul, hatred only the diseases of the skin. “All men have their faults, and stealing was Bill’s,” said a weeping widow over the corpse of a desperado, shot in attempted burglarly. And grotesque, ludicrous as the expressions may seem, she was tight. She knew that not in -the robber, the law- breaker, the out- cast, did the real mau shine forth, butin those rarer moods of kindli- ness and generosity when he was the true friend and husband, Perhaps when two enemies, who have refused to see any good in hereafter in another world free from the muddy vesture of decay which clogs their vision bere, the first thoughtof each will be, “Is this the beautiful soul that I ma- ligned and hated ?” bs Most of us feel like good fellows wronged. We know that we should have done better had not the world arrayed itself against us. That is why books hke “he New Heloise,” “The Robbers,” ‘Wer- ther,” “Rene,” ‘Obermann,” “Childe Harold,” “Les Misera- bles.’—wild protests against the whole scheme of society,—have so shaken the world and still fiud young souls to fire aud perturb; perfect emancipation which will|” each other on this earth, meet} laying bare the native-goodness below the crimnal exterior,—have won perennial popularity; why the right of the homely heroine ed in “Jane Eyre” electrified all England and America; why the neglected heroines of Ouida and the hoydens of Rhoda Broughton are favorites with young woman; why Xavier de Maistre’s touching “Leper of Aosta” was followed by an epidemie of stories whose heroes were pariahs and outcasts through disease or deformity; why the persecuted heroine, the maligned hero, are still favorite figures on the stage and in the penny-dreadfnls. Wisely and tenderly has George Eliot written, “It is with men as with trees; if you lop off their finest branches, into which they were pouring their young life- juice, the wounds will be healed over by some rough boss, some odd excresceuce, and what might have been a grand tree expanding into liberal shade is but a whimsi- cal misshappen trunk. Many an irritating fault, many an unlovely oddity, has come of a hard sorrow, which has crushed and maimed the nature just when it was ex- panding into plenteous beauty; and the trival, erring life which we visit with our barsh blame may a man whose best limb is wither- ed.” The world judges only re- sults, it recks not of hidden causes. The archangel ruined becomes to the popular imagination a devil with horns and tail—W. 8S. Walsh, in Lippincott’s for July. — eee ITEMS OF G@. U. O. OF O. F.
