Ma. JOHN BILIGHT AND THE NEGRO Querrlo3.-
The following latter has been published io the Madison
(Wscoesin) journal :—" Rochdale, Oct. 19, 1865.—Dear
Sir,-1 write to thank you for sending me the volume to
which your letter refers. E thank you also for the kind
expreadons is your letter. Your war has ended, as I always
hoped and believed it would end, in the overthrow of
slavery and the restoration of the Union. I fear, however,
that unless the President adopts a firmer tons with the
South, the segro will have a hard time of it if left to the
small mercy of Ifs former owners. It will be grievous
thing, if, after fighting for the integrity aod freedom of
your country, you shall fail to deal honestly and justly
sub the black populstion, ea lon suffering in your midst.
I have had great faith in you, and will sot now abandon it.
Liberty, all the world over, owe much to you, end 1 will
not believe now that colour will be permitted to abut out
several millions of your population from the full rights of
freedom. Your Star has done its share in the great work
whiolt will make the last four years for ever famous in the
history of your great nation —With many thanks for your
kind letter. I am, very truly yours, JOHN Harare—Aug.
