The race has become thoroughly^Americanized, and has even adopted the great1 American characteristic of emigration. The colored race It not African save In color; in all other respects It is American,' and it possesses the same claims as do those people who have lost their nationality and taken American naturalization.Marshal Frederick Douglass followed Senator Bruce, and made a short and humorous address. He spoke of the honors on the honored broad brow of the three-story headed black Senator from Mississippi. When he beard of Mr/ Bruce’s election to the United States Senate he trembled. He had heard speeches iu the House of Lords and the House of the Commons and elsewhere by great men, and he regarded the United States Senate (is head and shoulders above any deliberative body In the world, and for this* reasons he trembled when Mr. Bruce was elected, thinking the race mlghb'iml have a proper representative.
