When und under what conditions is the black man to have a free ballot ! When is he , in fact to have these full civil rights which have so i long been his In law ? When Is that equality of intlueneo which our form of government was Intended to sccuro to the electors to bo restored I This generation should courage - ously face these gravu questions , and not leave them as a heritage of woo to the next The consultation should proceed with candor , calmness nud great patience upon the lines of Justice and humanity , not of prejudice and cruelty No question in our country can bo at rest except upon the firm base of Justice - tico and of the law , I earnestly invoke the attention of congress to the consideration of such measures , with 1 Its well dnllned constitutional powers , as will } secure to all our people a frco excrciso of the right .of suffrage and every other civil right \ under the constitution nnd luws of the United States No evil , however deplorable , can Justify the assumption , cither on thu part of the executive or of congress , of powers not gruutod , but both will bo high ' ly blamublo It nil the powers grunted are not 1 wlsoly and firmly used to correct these evils , , The power to tulto the whole direction and j control of the election of m embers of the house of representatives Is clearly given to the general government A partial and qual- [ illoa supervision of these elections is now pro , vided for by law , and in my opinion this Jnw may bo strengthened and extend ed to Becuro , on the whole , , better results than can bo attained by a law taking all the processes of such elections Into federal control Tbo colored mail should bo protected In nil of his relations to the federal I- oral government , whether as litigant , Jqror or witnosj in our courts , as uu oleetor of members of congress , or as a pescoful trav- olor on our Interstate rallwuys , tmk aiiauoiiAXr mauixe llRcoiiiiiiciidntloui for lis lliiuonrnjre- : inent nud 1) jvc I op in our Thoro's nothingnioro Justly buinlllutlng to the national pride und nothing moro hurt tul to the nntlonul prosperity thau the inferiority or our merchant marine compared witli that ol other nations whoso general resources , wealth und sea coast lines do not suggest any reason for their supremacy on the seas It was not ulwuys so , und our people are agreed , I think , that it shall not oontlnuo to bo so It is not possible in this communica tion to discuss thu causes of the decay of our shipping interests or ttio differing methods by wlilch It Is proposed to restore tbem , The Btatomont of a few well authenticated fuels and some general suggestions as to legis lation is all thut is practicable , That tha great steamship Hues sailing under the Hags of England , Franco Germany , Spain uud Italy and engaged in foreign coin mo reo , were promoted and have slneo been ami now are liberally aided , by grants of public money , m onu form or unother , is generally known That the American lines of steamships have bcon uhaudiid by us to uu unequal contest with the aided lines of other nations until they have been withdrawn , or lu the few cases where they are still main tained are subject to serious disadvantages , Is u matter of common knowledge Ttio present situution is such that travelers und uicrchuiidmo Und Liverpool often a neces sary intermediate port betwocu Now York and some ot the South Amoncan capitals Tbo fact that some of the delccatos from South American states to the conference of American nations now in scsilon at Wash ington rercued our shores by roverslng that line of travel , is very conclusive of the need of such a coufereuco uud very suugustlvo as to tbo tlrat nud most necessary stun in tbo direction of fuller and moro bouellclal inter course with nations that are now our neigh bors , not only upon the lines of latitude , but upon the lines of established commercial in * tercourse 1 recommend that such appropriations bo made for ocean mnll service In American steamships , between our ports nnd these of Central nnd South America , China , Japnu nnd the important islands In both ol tbo crest oceans , ut will uo liberally romunera- tlvo for the servleo rendered ;
