Tou have akked, rue, my friend to advise you In n'Jalion to the great puhlie question of the dsy. You are now a free people, made ao by the power of the sword; though I am not ihio of those who believe that the Southern Miopia fought In the late war to perpetuate ilaveiyv a I. iowj: taking the solemn declaration of Congress, of Mr. Lin coln, and of tbe press and leaden of the North, a tbe evMetiee, that it waa not the purpose of the Federal government, until it wa found necesoary as a war measure to overthrow the white resistance (o tbe consti tuted authorities, to abolish alaverv. I3ut waiving tbe discussion of that' question, as out or place ana unnecessary, you have been nt4e,and you are, freemen. I should despise, from the bottom of my soul, tbe whit man who telt any Biity-toward you ntt that account, or who could not feel that it wa natural and praiseworthy, that you should rejoice in your emancipation. I feet and I know that I speak the sentiments of nine tenths of the white people of the South,, when I declare that it ii their desire to elevate yon in the scale oi manhood, and to make yon everyway worthy of tbe great privilege which have been conferred upon yon and everyway eimal to tlie grave and serious responsibilities wbicb you now have to assume. We can never forget your long year oi luuuiui service, w can never for get that we have grown tip together, and uie association or a tire time, and, armv all, w can never Jorget your quiet, patient, or derly and peaceful course during the four terrible years of war, roin which we bave ut emerged. . a : j Well, then, first, aa to what lie iromedi atcly Iwlore us : A new govemment i to be made, and yon are to participate in' it formation. Cetaiqly; the building up a ystem of government for a great people, ahicli 1 intended to last tor aireH. is a great and s solemn work. It should not be approached with passion or prejudice. It should not be committed to bad or weak men. U yon WHl listen to me for a few moments, I will try to tell you how I think so great a duly should ! performed. I cer tainly have no personal interest to advance. t nave no amijition to gratify. I am not striving for your vote tor mvselt'oranv one eise, ceruumv not for Biyseir; for the reason that the same lew-which confers the boon of auffrage upon you takesxit awav from me and dej rive uie of the privilege ot holding ollice. perhaps you would like to know why I am ilmlism-lnwd. I will tell yon, never win a secessionist ; on the contrary I fought that doctrine for yeara. But even if 1 hud oeeo, that would , not have disfran chised me, for I know a good many seces sionists who are not disfranchised; and I know, too, a few wbo.altbough disfranchised, are now striving to lake (list lead in the work of reconstruction,, which, tinder the provisions of the Sherman Act, tbey are not allowed to take. At the call ot my State, after I bad lieen voted tint of the t'uion, I took up arms in ber defence. That, of itself, would not bave disqualified me, but I happened, Wore the war, to be so uiWon nate a to be appointed &piire and accep ted that great office. I never bail any fancy for It duties. Indeed, the only time" that I ever exercised them at all, I believe, was when, in my own parlor, I united two of your own race in the holy bonda of matri mony; with my own family as the witnesses of the ceremony.

Let ut all here, .this day, to mm up tbe whole matter in a single word, adopt that grand, impressive end god-lik mono: universal irceaoiu sua universal charity. I beg hereto recall to yon the advice of uen. ruck lea in mat excellent and practical speech which be made to the freetlmen of Charleston, a tew evening aim : Beware, mid he, of those who would excite animosi ties between the two rnces. Ho told them, moat truly, that the prosperity of the South and the welfare ot the country were inti mately associated with the harmony and good feelinir between the people ot both races, Intel ligence, capital, hind are not less important than bir.r, ami yet, without lalxir, tbese ran bave no solid foundation. Wbat would be thought of the man. who. living in a household whose interest, com fort and trials must all be Identical, should nevertheless Rive all bis confidence to ont- atden.-oc atranger l Would- he not he thought a very ailly fellow, and would be not deserve to be unprosperou and unhappy! And it thus I put the case to you : x Will yon, ia tbe hurry of tbe moment, under tbe evil counsel ot designing demagogue, take it for granted that wof this political house bold are to be necessarily opposed to each other, and cannot live in peace and har mony f JSo, give tbe race, with whom are associated all tbe memories of the past, and against tba best part of whom it i Bow ought to array you, at leasts trial. It will be time enough to desert them when tbey how a disposition to deprive ynuut present rights, or to injure or oppress you. So far aa the dominant power in the government is concerned, the privileRee which they bave given you are not tba result of any special leve for yon, as is eviderited in the fact that, in nearly every State in which they have tla ascendancy, theytiave denied the right of suffrage to your brethren there.

This wa one of the object of tli8 meeting to day, snd tbey .were their enemies who advised them agidnst coming to hear what might tie said by t boss they had tbe riifht to consider their friend. Tbey might look tor expree- ionol regard from demagogues, who really cared nothing tor them. Whenever tbey were approached by men tbey did not know to tie interested in them for their good, they should look back a little and consult their memories, their acquaintance and the for mer (lave of those men, if they bad any, and learn whether they can now fx relied on.

The Governor, at the end ot the war, in view ot the trial. grief, privation and deepair throughout hi native South, and among all classes of its citizens, determined, as all good men should have done, to forget what lie conceived to be the error of those wbo had not acted with bim in opposing , secession, and to d what eonld to better tbsir condition, as well,shose of hi friends.

(Laughter.) But my enort on tblt occasion, tis tieen to address you in term which yon could un derstand. A voice Micht I oak. Governor, if thi meeting wa got up to endorse the 'action of the Convention held here in March '67 1 Gov7. Worth It I not Yft have only met here to have a triendlytalk exclusive of pol itics. If I were to undertake to speak of the great national question wtnen agitate tue country,! think I would be taking upon my self a useless task, but I will tell you that when you are going to vote you should look to a man' private character his past his tory ha he been honest, is he possessed of the requisite intelligence to fit bim tor the ollice hs he treated hi ilave kindly I Inquire what he was, not what lie is. Trust hot what politician say to yon at the time you are going to vote, because none or them are likely to tell you the truth at that time. These are the matter which ahould com mand all your attention and yo should study them well, for vourrennonsibilitv is a very serious one. It it not idle chimera that yon are called upon to decide. It is the fate the future welfare or destruction of our country. If you find a man of the kind I have spoken of, I aay to you no mat ter wbat bis party politics may have been, ,vote for him he will do to vot tor. I believe it is the way all over the world, that a luaa knows tlie weak point in his own character, and ia always trying tb prop them np. And ao it i when a man come to apeak to yon about his honesty ; tbat ia tba time for yon to look out tor your pock eta. When you hear a man say be i brave, you may rely on it, be will make a good run ; and when these men-tell you they are honest, be sure that you look to their past history, and study it with proper attention. I am not now talking to you as a politician, but advising yon a a friend. I tell yoa not to inquire so much into a man's politics i into lu Honesty. I am accused of being very cruel man, and why t Because when, some month ago, Gen. ISicklet issued an order prohibiting whipping for crime, I went to Washington aud had tbe order altered by the President. They try to make out tbat I wanted that law to apply only to the colored man. Tbat is not the fact The law of North Carolina always recognized the punishment of flog ging for crime, and I did not want the black man flogged any more than I did the white. Do you want, wbon you lay down at night, to he-liable to be robbed at any moment, without the infliction of any punishment on tbe criminal in case he it caught? (No, na) I wanted a law that would whip the white rogue as well as the colored one. We had a case of a boy only seventeen years of age, tome time ago. He bid been convicted ot wbat lawyer call burglary, and bia crime wa punishable by death, according to the law of tbe Stat of North Carolina. I thought tbe boy too young to b hanged, and submitted tbe case to-Gen. 8ickles, wbo ha tbe power to do what ba please. I have no power to make law, but in tbi particu lar inatance be made a very judicious law, whichtva, that the boy ahould b pot to work on ths highways for a period of ten year. Whipping wa a punishment in the day of Moses, and I do not know that tb law of Jesus Christ abolishes it ' Above all thingi, I advise you to be honest, be industrious, be peaceful. If vou would succeed in life and do your country credit, observe this; Before and above tli politics, te prudent and devoted to thJ weuare ana happiness ot this country, and by your honesty and industry educate nd Elevate jonr race, both politically snd tHorally. The1 -time-ha Tcdmrr whetr vou can be either a blessing or a curse to this republic;. Do not be the liitter, come here, to-daj tor any purpose other than to stive yon advice, and whenever tou call on me either publicly or privately ! sliati alwnyi be ready to do the, same, but I will hot be running after you, pulling vou by the coat skirts and jillimr rou I 1m you to further my own selfish designs. 1 thunk yoiUbr the patient bearing which yon bave accorded to mel' and trust that vou ill not abuse the irreat trust which has been confide.! to you.
