Perty, you are unfit to take any part in ths
concerns of this government-yo may
live under it, enjoy the natural rights o
"life, liberty and the pursuit OF happiness,
you may till the soil, and enjoy its fruits,
own thousands Of dollars worth Of proper.
ty, pay taxes, arrive at as digni6ed estate
as any of your neighbors, but you never
can reach the exalted privilege of gloryin2
in the name of FREEMAN in every sense OF
the term. In fact, if you A. b., owned
haD Of The stote IF New York, you may
have all the privileges of enjoying it, but
not word out ofyour lips as to the man
who shallguard your rightsin that proper
ty, either Legislative, Executive or Judi
cial, The color Of your skin, and your
total imbecility in mind and body forbids the
privilege. In another place we are en-,
phatically told that "mind, manners and
morals will always command homage !"
these terms are general in their applica-
ton. and clash with all the particularities
and isolated cases that are referred to, or
the principles laid down in the report.
One thing is certain, whether the coEored
man has or has not the power to reach the
elevated position in this community that
Mr.. Cramer, one moment admits him to
hdre, and at another denies, certain it is,
he fears the influence the teaching them
of wisdom, their progress in the arts and
sciences, and then attaining towards the
exercise of political influence they may
have on the government OF this country;
for he tells us as if already frightened out
of his senses, that the Greek slaves soon
become teachers Of their masters,'' and
cites the language of another champion of
the convention, upon which he grounds
these idle and careless fears those ignus
fatruses" of a feverish nature, which rise
up before his clouded and bewIdered imaa-
gination.


But in review ofthe whole subject, why
has Mr.. Cramer entered into the innate or
corporeal structure of man! Why did he
not travel back and present US with the
deep disquisitons of Locke and Boyle; for
as well might he enter on the field of
phvsic and surgery as to any relavency
many of his far fetched conclusions have
to the question in controversy. In fact,
in order to cpH1ete the ultimate determi-
nation that the prayer of the petitioners
ought not to be granted, he has in broad
terms asserted, without the least shadow
Of reason, unintelligible jargon and false
logic, that the ignorant and degraded
part of the population would control and
make laws for the state," position un-
tenabIe whether it regards their inclina-
tian 10 attempt or their powe' to accom-.
pIish it, and we consider these, his re.
marks, based on prejudice and fear, as the
sun and substance of this extraordinary
and evasive report.


Message from the Governor.
