In a receni It-ciure delivered in Uruok
iyn, by Fred Douglass, the policy of the
entire abolitien of the office of Vice
President of the Urjii-d t-tatrs was
urged with a good deal of force, Mr.
Dugla-s said :
I am fcr the Abolition of the Vice
Presidency. There in no need of any
extra, ready nt.ide President kept in
the cold wailing to ronie in. No inore
fieed of elcung a Vice President than
there is of eleciir g a second liusd nid
for otir dauj;h'-is in case the first hus
h.uid dies. I would ahtdh the Vne
Presidency and renKjve so thin a veil
as assassination L-lween a man and
ihe tfiiiptitiv p'ace of Pisident tf the
United Siates. A Vice President is a
standing menace lot fie life of the. Prcs
iileul. 1 believe your president will
?it more safe at.d secure when the
shadow of the Vice President erases to
fall upon hiia iu the Pretiden.ial
rhair."

it appears that at all the coumry towr.s
the whipping of negroes was being car
ried on most extensively, the real mo
tives being to guard against their voting
in the future, their being a law in
NerihCaro!:ni J j rjvicg those publicly
whipped cf the right to vote. The
practice was carried upon such a scaia
at Raleigh that crowds gathered each
day al the Court House to see the ne
groes whipped, and besides this, the
