The signers of this circular would not have
been guilty of greater impudence if they had
called their meeting ito consider whether the
highest interests Of the whole country do not
require that the right OF suffrage in the Western
States be independent of race and color" nor
would as many gentlemen 10 Chicago have been
guilty of greater impudence il they had called a

Union. Ii is spirit of evil. which. il not re-
pressed will work disaster in the future as it has

thrive: that high protective tariffs will come to

be such that New England will be compelled to
pay her Just proportion of them These are the
material reasons why New England wants negro
suffrage in the South and West. and why she is
