WnITE AND RED PEOPLE who eau see

one people that there shall be no disthc ton

but his Cod and his arms are by his side.

white man Is unjust from many causes-from
fear. From envy. irnm cOwar,iice, from igno-
rnace. But the red man only is unjust from
feeling ;be is alone open in his injustice. We
moygo 10 the graves of our fathers and with
hooks among t,icn who were buried ten thou
sand RIooRs ago, aud catch better men than
some who now bear the names of great men
among ms both red aud white. These are my
feelings, and speak them The >oung men
