that the enrolment of the free negroes in Kentucky was
not intended necessarily preliminary to tho drafting aud

MR. WEED ON THE WRONGS OF THE NEGRO.

The New York Times of Tuesday gives publicity to tho
following letter, addressed to its principal Editor Mr..
HENRY j. RAYMOND, by Mr. THURLow WEED, late of
the Albany Evening Journal
ALBANY, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1863
MY DEAR SIR concur with you in believing that
there not spires enough in your city to avert the
wrath of Heaven if immediate relief and future protec.
ton be not extended to your ColOred Citizens The
page that records their wrongs during the three days
of msrue in New York will be the BLACKLIST in it's his
tory That the wretches should have deliberately marked
FOR rapne and murder class a the least offending
and most defeuceless is fact and feature ia crime
which civilization and humanity revols and shudders
thank you for eloquenty and promptly calling public
attention to the lamentable condition Of these greatly
wronged people. That the appeal will be as promptly
responded to do not doubt
For the persecution of the negro there is divided re-
sponsbity The hostility of Irishmen to Africans is
worthy of men who themselves seek and find in America
an asylum from oppression Yet this hostility would not
eliminate in murder and but for the stmuans sup
piled by fanatics Journalists who persstently nfsme
and exaperae the ignorant and awess against the negro
morally responsible for these outrages But what
cares Wendell Phillips how many negroes murdered,
If their blood furnishes material for agitation
There is abundant occasion for the public adherence
OF mob violence But when all the circumstances have
been reviewed the popular condemnation of those who,
while the nation struggling for existence thrust the
offending negro forward as target for mfurated mobs,
will become general and emphatic Ultra aboitonists
hailed in South Carolina the best friends of secession
Practically they the worst enemies of the colored
man. But for the malgn influence = of these bowling
demagogues in Congress and with the President rebellion
would not in the beginning have assumed such formds
BILE proportions nor in its progress would the North have
been divided or the Government crippled
Presumng that steps will be taken for the relief OF the
colored people whose dwellings were robbed, and who
were driven from their employment, enclose my check
for FIVE hundred dollars a. contribution to that object

duct was violation OF all confidence aud official courtesy
He repeated the declarations of Earl Russell in the House
OF Lords, and expressed his inability to reconcile them
with the statement of Mr. Roebuck. As to his personal
knowledge Of the of the Emperor of the French
they totally at variance with the information pos
sessed by the Foreign Office He utterly denied that
there was the slightest ground for the complaint that
hoental communications of the Emperor had been sub
