The Cleveland leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1865-1865, 1865-07-27
VOL. XIX---NO. 1T

The negroes, with many Of whom I have
talked, almost unanimously express will
ingness and desire to work, and seem to
feel the responsibility of their new posi-
tion. Their idess of freedom are under
going rapid change and instead of idle
ness and plenty, they are beginning to feel
that it means work. The Yankees, to
whom they looked for aid, and whom they.
considered their friends, have in numerous
instances proved their worst enemies.
Many of them, in order to curry favor
with the people where they are stationed,
and to prove that the war has not been
waged for the abolition of slavery, have
prosecuted the negroes in 3 most cruel
manner, subjscting them IA worse slavery
than that from which they had been
rescued. -......l I.-.
The question of negro suffrage is oc-
cupying the minds of the people to con-
siderable extent. They claim that, accord
ing to the position taken by President
johnson and the Constitution of the
United States, it is q question 70 be de-
cided by each State, respectively, as to
who shall constitute q voter, and that the
amnesty proclamation of the President re-
instates the majority of the people, grant
ing them the right of franchise and giving
them all the privileges, under the Consti-
tuition, which they formerly enjoyed.
