I. The biz 70 submit the question q abro-
eating the 18th Article q the Constitution.
which forbids negroe- coming into the state,
% a vote q she people. Thi- has passed the
House and tailed IN the Senate.

worthless peri-hing. The climate here j. not
/ a. comfortable for them a. that Of the south.
They are now free where they are-as free a.
they can De anywhere; they are at liberty to
work for living; they are accustomed 70
the Southern state, and the people Of the
southern states are accustomed 70 them. II
the negro j. useful TO any community. a. a
laborer. he must be- useful in the south, and
there let him occupy. II he l. not useful 10
any community, a. a laborer, we don't want
him here, where each additional negro tends
70 keep from coming among Us, one German or
Irishman. The south seem. 10 desire that the
negro should come North that they may MI his
/ place with white foreign laborers. Let the ne

and IL he can not earn his own living, let the
/ Frecdmen's Bureau support him there, not
here. let us keep as clear Of negroes a. we
can. and n separate from those we must have

Since commencing this article We hav,
seen the Journal Of yesterday. lie say
the 18th Article j. useless, and. hence. ought
10 be abrogated. Ii j. useless becau.c the Re
publictns have held the power for the last fiv,
years. during which time the negroes with
which we are infested, have mostly come int,
the state. They did not come INTO the Stat,
while the Democrats were in power. and they
would not stay in now if the Democrats wer,

being IN power dared to exercise il; but they
