Politics ten wears Hence,

(lhe following is supposed to be the
address, ten years hence, of Mr. J. Cesar
Crow, who has represented this district in
Congress for one term, and is seeking re-
election. I. will be seen that Mr.. Crow is
politician of the liberal stripe, and is ior
allowing white men some very important
privileges, particularly the right to marry
colored ladies, &c. }
To My colorcd and WAih Constituents oh
de llM Congressional District:
tELLow CIrIzESs: hab felt greatly
tla,tered by de call YOU hat made on me
to become candidate for reelection to
Congress from dis district, De knowledge
Oh de fac dat lab don my duty for tw o
years as your representative hab been a
great source OBJ consolation to me, and dis
great public endorsement ob my course in
de legiSIatib halls as statesman and a
patriot, hab filed de measure Oh my glory
full to de top.
Widout tlattering myself, q horc YOU
all know | would scorn to do dat.) | tink
| car say wild propriety dat hab did as
much, II not more to elevate de character
ob de white race, rs any odder man ob my
limited experience. Already de foreign
countries wld whom we hab had domestic
| relations is speaking oh de internal policy
Oh our government wild proper respoc,
and while Is fee to admit dat our course
towards dc sutGerin white man Oh dis
country hab not been as liberal and lust
az | hab advocated. | still link we will
sooner or later come 10 dat stage Of de
game which will require us to show great
| nagnanlmousness, and forgeifu.nesS OF cur
forefather's injuries. 1t am my grea,
desire to establish de superiority Of Dc
| colored race to any in de orld, and to do
dis 1t am necessary dat we should exhibi,
noble and generous impulse towards our
fallen foes. For my part, | am for doin
de white man justice wheneber bis neces-
sily requires and de exigency oh de case
vii! admit. | am confident that by a
proper legislation and yieldin policy on
| de part of de administration. oh which de
venerable and de honorable Mr.. Fred
Dough las am de head, de white man NAV
soon be restored, in some measure, 20 dc
rights and position IN society which (dar
is no use Gisputin de fac) he once held.
While it am true De white race in
America am rapidly passing away afore
de superior blood O: de colored map-as
de white foam goes afo,e de dark strong
waves-still, while dare is vet LEI vestage
ob de white blood, it am our duty as a
great ration TO protect it in ebery lawful
| and honorable manner |, will n"ber do
for dis great coorcd nation TO hab such q
history Oh de white man, as de white man
hab ob de Indian.
In conclusion, my fellow citizens, will
say dat am:
First, In TABOR ob the repeal Of de law
which prohibits white man from marry
ing a lady ob color.
Second, | am in Tabor Oh repeal Oh
de "act entitled an act" which prohibits
white man from owning more than one
acre Of land.
Third, am in TABOR Of white suffrage,
and always will be. De white man am
as much entitled to vote as colored man
if he behabes himself in proper manner
Dare are many odder minor issues
such as de employment Of de white man
on gubernment workable raising Oh three
regular new white regiments, &c, which
l am in TABOR OBJ, but Which | hab no,
time to discuss. will meet my opponent
| the Honorable Mr.. Green, a, all Oh hi,
appointments, where my views can l.,
heard at greater length.
Wild many more talks for your nstfer,
ing call, hab dc honor TO be, gentlemen
Your humble obedient servant,
J. CESAR Crow.
