AN HONEST DEMOCRAT who used to own and work and whip his own slaves in "'those good old times" so dear to the Democratic memory, was seen sitting at a window, yesterday, as the procession passed along,'with pencil and paper figuring up "the value, of the whole lot.' We didn't learn the amount that his figures footed up, but we believe be was quite sincere in his evident regret at his inability to convert them into cash.

A ROUGH JOKE—and for the season,: cool one, was played by the Vermillion county robbers, on Wednesday afternoon. A short distance this side of Clinton, in the almost naked condition in which they swam the 'river, they overhauled a couple of men. One of the robbers drew his revolver, in Which tlie charge wa doubtless wetland there in the open air, compelled the terror stricken men to disrobe. The robbers quickly donned the clothes, and bidding the unfortunate men "good morning" left them shivering in the cool morning air. The result may be guessed. The woods were full of people, hunting for a couple of naked men, and as these men made no attempt at concealment, they were soon after discovered, and notwithstanding their story, the hunt was given up in that locality and the men taken .to Clinton, where I hey were recognized as respectable.and honest citizens. The real robbers taking advantage of the temporary suspension of hostilities, have doubtless escaped.

Speeches by George ©loveiy Col. R. W. Thompson, Hardin Anderson, Col. W. E. McLean, Z. M. Anderson and Rer. W. W. Curry.

2The colored people grandly celebrated, yesterday, the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment, which proclaims the com plete enfranchisement' of their race, and breaks the last link of bondage. It was the last tableau of a grand drama tha1 began amid the sulphurous smoke and slaughter at Fort Sumter Sind ended in the complete triumph of the National arms, and the ultimate recognition of the equal rights of all men. men before the law and in the administration of public affairs.

The celebration yesterday was a public expression of the great joy of our colored people, and a pledge that they will worthily exercise the rights of freemen They have long waited for this day. They have watched with painful anxiety each bitter straggle in their behalf, and have felt profound emotions of gratitude to God and the American people for each new concession to their rights as men. They now feel that they stand upon the same level as all other men, and must rise or fall according as they- conduct themselves. It was fitting that they should make a public demonstration of their joy and gratitude, and the display was in all respects highly creditable to them.

It was felt that the day was theirs, and consequently there was little or no exhibition of flags and demonstrations by the white people. The sky was bright and cloudless, the air balmy, and all nature seemed in harmony with the rejoicing.

Early in the morning delegations came in from Rockville, a few from Indianapolis, and from the townships outside the city. Honey Creek joined with Terre Haute in making up its part of the pro cession. Towards eleven o'clock the sidewalks along the streets the procession was to pass became thronged with pedestrians, and presented quite a holiday appearance.

THE PROCESSION

Was very large, stretcWng.out about one mile

aEd

a half miles,

was

perfectly or

derly and well calculated to impress evenbeholder with the conviction that these earnest looking and stalwart men would surely be a power in the future ot the history of our county, State and Nation. The procession was in charge' of Chief Marshal Jas. H. Bundy, and numerous assistants, headed by the Brazil Cornet Band, and made up in the following or der: First, the Masonic Fraternity.: 2d, Citizens of Terre Haute and the delega tion from Honey Creek combined 3d, Delegations from Otter Creek, Nevins and Lost Creek townships 4th, All other delegations and then came

long line of

men, women and children in wagons, carriages and on horseback. The delegation from Honey Creek,aided by the colored people of this city had three handsomely decorated wagons, the first filled with thirty-six girls representing the States of the Union, the second with twenty-nine boys representing the number ofJStates that voted, for .the 15th Amendment, and the third with fifteen young misses symbolizing the 15th Amendment. The delegation from Otter Creek, Nevins and Lo3t Creek townships had three similar wagons emblematical of the same. These wagons

tastily

decorated and the girls and boys looked well in their gay attire. Along the line was a profusion of

FLAGS AND MOTTOES.

Among the most pertinent of the latter we caught the following as the procession filed along: "Let us have peace." "Praise the Lord and thank our friends." "Eternal justice is the basis of all laws." "Labor and Liberty." "Wc are governed by the Golden luile, the Bible, and the Declaration of American Independence." "1850—Dred Scot Decision," On the reverse: "1870—RightcoYis 15th Constitional

"The nations martyrs: A. Lincoln, John Brown, E. Lovejoy, N. Turner.'' This banner was draped in mourning. "An honest man the noblest work of God." "Honor to Grant, the people and the 15th Amendment," "In God we trust. To Him we ascribe the praise and honor. To Him we are indebted for all we enjoy. "Abraham Lincoln, our great friend and benefactor, and lover of equal rights." "Those who have made unjust decrees have made anything out laws." "The glory or shame of our future con dition is to fall upon ourselves." "Peace and long life to Senator Morton, the Champion defender of the 15th Amendment.'' "We were always men, now we arecitizens—men among men." "Let us ever stand by the Republicans, for they are the friends of the 15th Amendment." "Knowledge, Virtue and Wisdom, our great securitv." "That good time has come."

THE LINE OF MARCH,

Starting from the A. M. E. Church, was as follows: Up First to Ohio along Ohio to Sixth up Sixth to Mulberry, along Mulberry to First down to Main and thence out to the Fair Ground. The procession arrived on the ground about noon, and immediately well tilled baskets were brought out and upon the fresh green grass a picnic dinner was discussed. While ihey were eating a continual stream of white ladies and gentlemen poured into the grounds, so that by the time the exercises commenced there was a very large assemblage.

Dinner over, the President of the day Thos. H. Blake, called the_ meeting to order, and all that could get within hearing distance gathered about the stand.— The Brazil Cornet Band played several patriotic tunes, the people sang "Blow ye the trumpet, blow," Rev. J. Foxworthy offered a prayer, Z. M. Anderson read the Proclamation of the 15th Amendment and President Grant's accompanying ad dress, and then

THE SPEAKING

commenced. George Gloyer, a fine lodging colored man, a farmer.Jp jNeviri town£hi j/, iviA itii&firitl spelk6r introduced. He said the time which his people had so long prayed for had at last arrived, and for this great blessing we muBt fu-st give God €5j&ondfwe should eV&r it^iiembeiriiwiradna(l|itd President, Abraham Lincoln and third, the great debt we owe to the Republican party, that has so nobly stood by our cause. He urged his people to steadfastly stand by and support that party ao long and no longer than it proved to be the friend of the colored race. He counseled his newly enfranchised felr low-citizens to be always ready to receive advice. He said the Black Republicans and the White Republicans united will forever buryjthe Democratic party, So far as social equality was concerned he believed there were enough black men ready and willing to marry all the color ed girls, and eufficient white men to make husbands for all the white women. He said it was not reasonable to suppose that

Democracy would want negro vot^p, but he predicted the time would soon come when the Democrats will be seeking their suflrage, and he gave his friends a few pertinent questions to ask that party, and if they tried to beg the question to say in the language of the Savior, "Get behind me, Satan." He alluded to some of the many wrongs which the slaveholding Democracy bad inflicted upon his race, and asked if these wrongs can be so far forgot ten as to cast their votes with such a party. In conclusion, he advised his people to put their hands to the political wheel and to stand by the Republican party to educate themselves, to read, and strive to be eood and useful citizens. if-. •.

HON. IT. W. THOMPSON

was the "next -speaker. His wmaiks contained some excellent advice and were, in substance a3 follow* From the appearance of this assembly, it is easy to see il is one of rejoicing. Indeed, it would be strtmge and unnatural if you did not rejoice: foV toward the light of this day your race lias longingly looked through more than two centuries of oppression and bondage, for the priv ileges—the possession of which you come here to celebrate to-day—are the safeguards and guaranties of all the rights and immunities that the greatest nation in the world can bestow upon its citizens.

I do not intend to make you a political speed). I am hot here for that purpose nor do I intend to speak for any party but merely to advise you as one who has always felt a deep interest in your behalf. 1 shall speak very plainly to you—and from the fact that I was born and reared in a slave State—I think 1 understand your situation and condition perfectly

By the passagfe of the 15th Amendment, the ratification of which you celebrate to day, you become voters, and so to attain the last and brightest right of a full American citizen. Hut you must remember this would not have been but for the rebellion. Before that time slavery was not only permitted by the Constitution but was protected and fostered by the party in power, as well as by the entire government. The South not satisfied with '.his, called for the extension of this great national curse over a vast extent of new territory, in the promulgation of the principle they assailed the very foundation of the government, and at last dared to lay violent hands upon the old flag— the news on the wings of the lightning pulsed through the entire North, and like one man, arose the whole nation the long, terrible rebellion ensued, and at its close, the South found it had caused the abolition of slavery. President Lincoln —that great, good and honest patriot —at length, as a war measure, issued the proclamation of emapcipa tion, but if nothing else had been done, the question would not have been settled, for in several districts the slaves were not|freed. Congress then provided for the Thirteenth Amendment which made all slaves free, still the position of the negro wxs a hard one—he was not a slave it was true—but lie could claim-no pro'tec tion of person or property—he was simply recognized as a human being without any rights whatever—so the Fourteenth Amendment was passed making them •citizeps. and at last to-day you make your rejoicing over the Fifteenth Amend ment which entitles you to the right to vote. Now this-right to vote is one of the highest privileges of American citizenship, and as the government has conferred it upon you, a duty is of necessity imposed upon you to see that you exercise the right intelligently. To do this yon must educate yourself and'your children. Let the first indication' that you appreciate these high privileges so lately conferred upon you, be seen in your earnest endeavors to inform yourselves—and educate your children to such a degree that you may be enabled to fill with credit to yourselves the position to which thev have elevated you.

If yon act intelligently and dilligently all the means at vonr command for the cultivation of morality and intelligence you will advance your condition, vtm will overcome the many difficulties surrounding you, and you will break down the many hitter prejudices now existing against von but if yon do not so act yon will not only perpetuate your inferiority but will sink even lower in degradation and ignorance. Your race can not be expected to arrive at once ton condition of equality with the white nice. It Wjould be unreasonable to think you could overcome in a few short years the wrongs entailed upon you by more than two hundred years of slavery. Remember that greaJ works progress slowly, that as you have remained so long a time in your oppressed condition, it is but natural that you should emerge from it slowly. Do not attempt to go too /a?t, aud thus increase the antagonism between yon arid a large portion of the whites, bnt be contentto move forward gradually and In a few years you will see the result in the elevation and advancement of your condition. Do not forget the importance of the right to vote, and above all, do not" fail to remember the great duty that upon you to exercise that right understendingly.— Cherish the little paper ballot, as the luost sacred gift it is more powerful 4ba« the bullet it is grauder than an army with banners it is the great engine of progress the impregnable wall of eternal freedom. -Aiid now in conclusion let me say, enjoy all the privilcgesthat have been given you, show that you appreciate them by your conduct and your lives, be honest, industrious, virtuous citizens, and the future will make yon honored and respected.

COL. W. E. M'LEAN

next spoke briefly. He was willing to rejoice with those who rejoice to-day. He did not profess to be the especial champion-of the colored race nor had he howled much for the white race, but he was in favor of the whole hitman race. He thought this government'Could risk universal suffrage. He had no fears of the

The next speaker introduced was HARDIN ANDERSON. A self-^lucated colored man, who delivered a short, spirited and vigorous address. He cWtoed that the credit for the great boon for wjiich Jjiia race was now rejoicing over Altogether due the Government nor to man but to God, who delivered the people from bondage, and dwelt at some length upon the tardiness of the government in granting to the colord man the privilige3 he now enjoys. He spoke of the wjongs and oppression of the party which had been opposed to the colored race, and when he remembered that he had an insane brother from the efiect of being stoned in the istreets of Terre Haute, he could not help (but denouce the "hell-deserved" Demo cratic party. He claimed that many in, fbat plrtyj weriB more igho^Mifc thiin hffi* own race, wi if thev corild progrefls fu WthaBri^s oiin, Mce wfl^ aaid 'rgo

Z. It. ANDERSON,

The teacher of the colored school in this city, a graduate of Oberlin College, next came forward. He had prepared a lengthy address, but owing to the lateness of the hour spoke briefly. He remarked that it has been said by many that we are too ignorant to vote, therefore not to be safely trusted. In reply to this let me ask those who assert this a simple ques tion: Were we to take the most ignorant slave ever found under a taskmaster at the South and then blindfold nnd make him walk backwaj^s and deposit his ticket, could he make a worse choice for the Vice Presidency than was made in the choice of that great and so-called selfmade man ef Tennessee known now as Moses No. 2? Or could we elect a worse member to Congress than Jeff Davis, who, after growing fat at the public expense, left Congress to become the Arch Traitor in the late rebellion, causing today, my fellow-citizens, hundreds and thousands of our brothers and fathers to lie jn untimely graves beneath a Southern sun?

All that we ask as a people is a fair chance in the race for life equal schools and opportunities for learning, and, as our teachers have to be examined $nd subjected to the same tests as white teachers, we only ask the same chances to prepare for the same duties. If any of us are fo aspiring as to study for any of the profeVtons, patronize, ifis as we always lisiVe (^otiiyou. 1 wftsiob or mm der,^inlpfisoB and execute lis, as I lie law rt-quires, for we ask not to be made a specially favored class, but to receive, in common with others, under like circumstances. After voting for you if it is found that any Of us are lionesi, intelligent, industrious and well qualilied to hold an ntlice of trust nominate and vote for us, just a-t we are going to vote for you, and under like circumstances for it is a well known fact that thousands of us will but vote, at present, and yet the time is coming when we will make ourselves as worthy, at least to bte voted for, as somejot otnj friends for whom we soon hope to tote.

Then let me say, my fellow-citizens that if we do our duty, as I trust we will afjfart and parcel of this Commonwealth the most important results and effects, not only upon us here banded together in one band of brotherhood, will be showered upon the tifction, the woHdr and ages yet to come. Here we are met not merely to hear each other talk, not to mourn over the terrible shadows of the past, but we are here to prove our right to manhood and justice, and to maintain these rights not by force of mere appeal, not by louc threats, not by battle-axe and aabre, but by the Divine lights of brains, of .will, of true patriotism, of manhood, of womanhood, of all'that is gieaY and noble and worth striving for in human character.— We are here to ring the bell at the door of the nation, to Kings on their thrones and to the whole broad univere that we, the colored people, are at least coming up and, under the hand of Almighty God, we ape coipingf ifp forever and to stay.

The speaking closed with :iufcv. w?-wi CARRY'S REMARKS. Mr. Curry said: When invited,fcy the committee to attend t^is felebratidn I accepted, "because I thought I had a rightto be here. £his is .my celebration. as much js it.is yours.' I am ao AnlericanTcitizen and this occasion is to celebrate an event which removes from my country a blot which has rested on her escutcheon' from her organization nntil this timet Now we can look in the face 'of .theciviKzed world and say that our practice conforms to our

Ope of tne speakers said that

the Government1 had conferred oh you freedom and suffrage .and that this sh6uld convince you. that this, is tlie best government in the world. Another one said that, the government did not. d§s*ve mifch praise, because -it "conferred these rights reluctantly. Both are right. Why 'is this the beftt-government in the world?

Not because composed altogether of good and wise people, or because it always acts from the best intentions, but because tlie fathers of the Republic laid its foundations broad and deep, in, eternal principle? and these principle have carried government a,nd people onward in the right direction, whetlietxWillingly or not,

Mr. Curry then rapidly glanced at the principles of .thej Declaration of In 'dependence, pointed out the issue of freedom and slavery, and how the failure of the Wilinot proviso, and the success of the Compromise measure^ had led to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise measures nnd the origin -of- the Republican party.

Mr. Curry then referred to the pledges the colored speakers bad given to stand by the party which had given them freedom and franchise, .and commended them for so doing. But he asked, Is this the only reason for your choice? He then referred to the principles of the par y, showed how they had carried it on xti'p by step, in spite of the reluctance of pi-nple or leaders. He referred to the rtiHftHparency with the motto, "We are governed bv the Golden Rule, the Bible, and the Declaration of Independence," showed how the Bible and Declaration 'joined in teaching equality, and giving a tirm foundation for the rul'e "exhorted them not-to tie themselves to men or parties, but to stand for principles. Said that as,-a.Republicans he wished them to vote tjcjr his party, not blindly,

bsit be

cause it was based on right principles declared that if the influence pf long con-' tinned power jbuid ever lead it to forget jnd abandoto.its priciples, he would himself abandon the party and gave them jhe advice always to be honest and consciencious in their political actions, and .they would rest onan imni6vable foundation.

This is but an imperfect sketch of a terse, vigorous and stirring address. It ^closed the exercises oftheday, and it now being five o'clock, the Fair Ground was 'noon vacated.

A number of policemen had been aworn in by the Mayor, for special duty, and Marshal Whiteman Was also on the ground, bnt so quiet and orderly was the

&semMag<e that there was not tfre slightest provocation for than to exercise their authority. Not a dranken -man wms seen npon the ground. 1^ tl|is respect this first mass meeting of our newly enfranchised citizens starts out well and Is an example for some other people.

The meeting was attended by large numbers of white people who seemed to take delight in witnessing the aacnberant joy of^e colored people, and the latter turned oat Kumbers that really astonished many people who hardly imagined there were so many colored people in the county. To the Republican party which now reaps such a harvest of votes, not the least encouraging aspect of the demonstration was the great number of children, who in time will grow up under the tutelage of their fathers to swell the vote of the party which gave freedom and enfranchisement to an enslaved race. The women and children were dressed in their gayest holiday attire, with all the bright colors characteristic of the race, and as from the youngest to the oldest, joy and hope became bright and fairly sparkled in their eyes, and the bouyant spirit of youth bounded with a joyous sprightliness unfelt before, a scence of unalloyed happiness was presented that is seldom witnessed.
