Calvin Chase of this +, delivered addresses under the ces of D. B. Birney Post. Mr, introduced spoke as Col. N el being » his walks and deportment in hall be known.

Why do you attempt to set apart a por- the to this harmless aud forsaken race? I appeal to e conscience of my white fellow in all fairness and good ug towards you, is this right? just after our liberation from bondage? We love our wives aud our children, we have the same rever tor their virtue as you have for yours. We are as true to government and as loyal to tlag as the God who made the wives, daughters and mai- as virtuous as the soft from the Atlantic, is pure, we worship the s: God that you worship and areas willing to protect your homes from the foreign ene- why then are we ganst ¢ ech a qaestion of much ite among the Southern people, * the white people, as to what done with the Negro.

No wrong can prosper aud neither ean murder be conceal- ed, So it is with legislation. If he declaration of independence had been wrong, the British flag would be floating on our public ‘ngs; had the South been the gray would have sup ted the blue and the Ameri~ i eagle would not only have ech eliminated for the portraits of Jefferson Davis, but monuments of Robt. Lee would take the places of the braye comrades, who fell in defense of liberty ; the philanthrop- ists, abolitionists, the statesmen who are beneath the sod and many others who fell in the cause of freedom would be forgot- ten and their deeds would be like the echo from a confederate toot. horn. A great deal was said before and during the war of enlisting COLORED SOLDIERS, that the Negro would not fight. Where would the republic have been had it not been for the colored soldiers? Instead of the blue, we would have had the gray ; instead of a government of, for and by the people, we would have had an oligarchy, such as exist in the South today. Instead of peace and prosperity, we would have been terrorized and threatened with an overthrow. The colored soldier who is without a monument to his memory, will yet be given his prop- er piace and credit in history and whatever credit may be taken from the colored man as a_ politician, or his lack of manty courage in the South, it cannot be said that he did not prove himself a soldier dur- ing the war of the rebellion nor will his Southern enemies place Winchester rifles in his band and stand before him and issue an edict that be is a coward. Whatever his faults may be the Negro has been a soldier and he is a states» man, scholar, and a citizen. “From the time the memory of man run- neth not to the contrary,” the Ne- gro has been found side by side with the white man in some capa- city. We are told that one of our an- cestors Ham, Shem or Jeprtte wasa Negro and from him we al) sprung. But one thing they nave failed to make plain and that is, who was the Negros’ wife. It is not said whether she was black or white, green or gray, or whether she ex- isted at all. I suppose that we just come up so, like Topsy in Uncle Tom’s Cabin. We are here and here we propose to stay, whether the Congo States be spiked with gold or whether the Federal Elec- tion law becomes a law or not. I said a few moments ago that where the white people are, the Negroes are also in some capacity. He was in the Revolutionary war, as well asin the Mexican, and the late civil war he was a full dressed sol dier, and while he was fully compe- tent to be a Gen’l., and they want- ed the union saved, it was thought to be too much honor tor a Negro soldier even to command Negro troops. With all that, this isa great republic, of course it belongs to the white race although the dark race, the Indians, were her first. Why should white mencare who was here first. They believe now that they should be first and have the preference of all things. They have been reaping since Adam was, and the poor Negro he has been praying and what has he got ?—bruised heads, broken bones and empty pockets. [Laughter and applause. ] This is notuing to laugh at my fellow citizens. The more serious I try to be the more jovial you get. This is an age of reason, not Tom Payne’s age, but an age in which the colored man must root or die. So far as I am concerned I propose to bean American citizen. I an- derstand that there is a great deal of eresupice in Jersey. At Asbu- ry park I am intormed that the proprietor has set apart a portion of the SEA for the ‘colored people.” God did not intend that the sea should be separated but once and that was when Moses smoted the waters of the Red Sea and they parted and the children of Isreal crossed dry shod. It makes my words true that the white people willdo any thing. Indeed, they will endeavor to convince the Ne- groes after a while that heaven was made them and hell for the Negro. It is known to the coiored man that he has perfections and imperfections, but be dces not know perhaps that he is an enemy to himself or that it is in most cas- es the fault of his people of inferior rank that the most respectable and refined are degraded. ee * * # Tuen it can be seen that we are degraded by those identified with our race and the common class of whites are inclined to the belief that all Negroes are alike. The re- fined and cultured white citizen knows that there isas much differ~ ence between the cultured Negro (Continued on Second Page.) BEATTY’S TOUR OF THE WORLD. Ex-Mayor Daniel F.
