And whence does he derive the hopes that retain him iu America? From the press, the pulpit, and the platform. But what do they know of his troubles and difficulties ? Neither the orators nor writers, nor their hearers or readers, ever met with the negro in the walks wdiere he is striving for bread. What eftect has the most eloquent oration ever delivered in his behalf upon the hungry whites, who, with every one a vote, insist that negro waiters shall no longei- be employed in a fashionable ho- ...tel. What effect has the most vigorous article ever penned upon the gang of laborers who, rioting along Ihe wharves, drive off tlie negro stevedores ? Was the negro to be seen working • with whites in manufactories at alternate benches, associatinr with the laboring- class of white men in the streets, there would be fa:- more reason t(j hope for Ids social advancement than can fairly be derived from all that the press, the platlVirm. Or the pulpit has ever said in reference to negro wrongs. They have caused negroes to be seen at anniversary meetings, scattered here and there through the audience — the racinantes in gurgite vasto, of the poet — but as to any permanent effect ))roduced by them upon those on whom the negro's comfort depends, it has been worse than nothing ; for the white man.
