O. When have the people Of the South
invaded. our territory slain our people or
conveyed away our property ? - Frank
PisJcc'S last letter.
This question We can very readily answer.
The South did invade our FREQ territory Of
Kansas in 1855 and SO, slew our people, and
carried awny their property and youaidcd
and encouraged their work Of robbery. It
waS-ior this reason that the citizens Of Con-
cord when year runners begged that YOU
might have public reception given YOU, as

A WORD TO THE POINT, AND IN
SEASON.

We have looked on with some interest, min
gled with no little Indignation, at the nimby-
family philanthropy of the American people,
displayed upon the occasion of the capture Of
an African slave ship. Even some of our
Southern papers have shown q weakness on
this subject that we have been surprised to see.
A Vicksburg paper recently advocated the idea
that the officers or traders who should attempt
to sell these slaves to our planters should be
delivered over to the law, for doing that guar
antied to us by our chartered rights in the Con-
stitution, to wit: to hold property in slaves and
to buy and sell them at pleasure. Common
experience and religious observation continued
now for more than two hundred years, teach
us that American Slavery is the most favorable
condition in which the barbaric African can
be placed, for his moral culture and religious
training. In no other school has he ever i'm
proved or been christianized. We know these
remarks do not apply to all the tribes of Africa,
particularly those of Abeokuta and the interior,
now occupied by those excellent missionaries,
brothers Bower, Priest and others. Those
tribes have never fallen so low, nor so com
pletely have they forgotten God" as the ultra
savage of the Congo and Guinea coast, where
they are captured by their own countrymen,
and if not sold to foreigners, they are sold at
home to the cruel masters or sacrificed upon
the affairs of fendish superstition, and their
skulls used as paving stones or implements of
domestic use. While we would not at present
argue the propriety or improperly of the slave
trade, we dare confront the world, and say, with
cut fear of contradiction, that the African
translated to this country, and trained upon our
Southern plantations, with the Gospel preached
to them every Sabbath, is in far better con-
dition-morally, socially, and religiously-than
those who remain at home in their native bar
barism, or domestic slavery to masters no more
elevated in the moral scale than themselves.
The millions of happy, intelligent, and truly
pious negroes of the South, stand as living wit
nesses to the truth of these remarks. Our
cotemporary of the Presbyterian Witness, at
Knoxville, Tennessee, seems to be of our way
of thinking, though it is not safe for one thus
to speak, SO many Of our Southern presses being
under the control of those infected with Beech
erism or trained in Northern schools

EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN NEW JERSEY

Editors Paterson Guardian: Besides the
considerations mentioned in preceding COM
munications, various others might be urged
in support of the black mans claims to affran-
chisement To few of these permit me to
refer:
l. The patriotic services he has rendered,
assisting valorously in the defence of our coun-
try during war, and contributing to the develop
ment of its resources in time of peace. SO loyal
have we been, that it can truthfully be said,
There is not battle field from Maine to
Georgia that has not been redeemed with the
black mans blood and whitened with his bones"
For many interesting particulars, let me refer
your readers to the "Colored Patriots of the
Revolution" an excellent, instructive work, by
w. c. Nell, of Boston.
2. The tendency of disfranchisement. What
the nature of this tendency is, may be seen by
an examination of the history of the different
oppressed races, of every age and nation. There
the fact is clearly shown that patriotism, or
what is often understood by the term, may be
utterly crushed out by the injustice of Govern
ment, though the love of liberty remains an I'M
dying inmate of the human breast A hint
to the wise," &c.
3. The shameful inconsistency of our dis
reimbursement with the professions daily made
by Americans. Though professedly a Republic,
based upon democratic principles, our Govern
ment has become an aristocracy-one of the
most abominabe that the world has ever seen.
The worst feature of Hindoo heathenism is
embodied in the organic law of our State.
A. The requirements of true religion. "Al
things whatsoever ye would that men should
do to you, do ye even so to them" This rule
shows how the enfranchised should act towards
the DISTINGUISHED in our State-unless God has
no jurisdiction over New Jersey And is He
the God of the Jews only? Is He not our God
also
Some of the objections to restoring to black
men their political rights have already been
touched upon, and therefore will only notice
couple of them here
l. Colored men not citizens Those who
make this objection should inform us when we
were deprived of citizenship, and by what au-
thority. From the deliberate administrations
of fancy himself" the highest judicial tribu-
nal in the land Ut can easily be shown that
we are citizens of the United States. But if
we are not citizens, then citizenship is not ne
cessary for our full enfranchisement, inasmuch
as we enjoyed the right of suffrage and other
rights from l776 to 1920, period of forty
four years.
2. Colored men interiors, and the Declare
ton of Independence lie Jefferson and
Franklin fools &C., &c.
