The following is supposed TO be the ad-
dress Of an enlightened colored gentle
man, Mr.. J. Cesar Crow, who has repre-
sen,ed this distric. in Congress for one
term, and is seeking . reelection. /. will
be seen that Mr.. Crow is 9 politician Of
the liberal stripe, and is for allowing white
men some very important privileges, par
,iculary the ri ght to marry colored ladies',
&C.
10 my Colored and White Constituents Oh
de Ninth Congressional District.
Feltor Citizens IL hab felt greatly
tlastered by de call you hab made on me
to become q candidate for reelection to
Congress from dis district. De knowledge
ob de fact dat l hab done my duty for two
years as your REPRESENTATIVE hab been a
great source Oh consolation to me. and
dis great public endorsement ob my course
in de leglslatib halls as q states man and
q patriot, hsb filed de measure OBJ my
political glory full to de- top OBJ de brim.
Widout da!tering myself, & hope you
al know scorn to do da, / tink can
say wild propriety dat | hsb did as much
if not more to elevate the character OBJ de
black race abroad as any odder man OBJ
my limited experience. Already de for
eign countries wild whom we hab had do
mest,c relations is speaker of de internal
policy ob our goberment wild proper re-
spec, and while is free to admit dat our
course towards de suffering white man ob
dis country hab not been as liberal ard
just Is hab advocated, | still tink we
will soone or later come to dat stage ob
de game which will require US to show
great magnanimousness, and !orgetfulness
ob our forefathers' injuries. 1t am my
grea, desire TO establish de superiority Oh
de colored race to amp race in the world,
and to do dis, it am necessary dat We
should exhibit a noble and generous i'm
pulse towards our fallen foes. For nv
part am for dcin de white man Justice
whenever his necessity requires and de
exigency OBJ de case will admit. am
contiden. da, by proper legislation and
ayie.ding policy on dc part Oh do admin
is,ration Oh which de venerable and de
Honorable Mr.. Fred. Douglass am de
head, de white man may soon be restored
in some measure to de rights aud de posi-
Hoh III ooSiSSJ AiAh VA 10 use ulsHutlu
de fac he once held.
While it am true dat de white race in
America am rapidly passing away afore
de superior blood OBJ de colored man-as
do white foam goes afore de dark strong
wave-still while there is yet left vest
age OBJ de white blood it am our duty az
great nation to protect it in ebery lawful
an honorable manner. II will neber do
for dis great colored nation to bah such a
history OBJ de white man, as de white man
hab ob de Indian.
In conclusion my fellow citizens I will
soy dat am:
Farsi In Tabor OBJ repeal oh de law
which prohibits a white man from marry
ing lady Oh color.
Second, | am in Tabor of repeal ob do
"act entitled an act" which prohibits u
white man from owning more dan one
acre ob land.
Third, am in favor oh white suffrage
and always will DO. De whit: IMAM am as
much entitled to vote rs de colorad man
If he behaves himsef in a proven manner.
Dare am many oddev minor issues
such rs de employmen ob white men on
goberment works-de raising oh three
regular new white regiments, &c, SC,
which | am in Tabor OBJ, but which hab
not time to discuss. ! will NEE, my ap-
ponens, de Honorable Mr.. Duffy, at all Oh
his appointments where my views cau be
heard At greater length.
Wild many more thanks for your Aattsr-
ing call, hab de honor TO be, gentlemen,
Your obedient servant.
