that time cotton picking will have to be at.
tended to. I hope, however, that the peo-
pie in the Northern States have had sufi.
cient reason to have their blind eyes open.
ed, and be controlled by reason rather than
prejudice. I should like to know how men
of sound minds or honest hearts can vote
With such corrupt set of cut.throats as the
majorities IN Congress and the State Legis.

If any of our friends wish to be informed
on any subject more fully than have here
hastily done, will endeavor to see that
they are attended to. If any wish to make
inquiry in regard to the purchase Of lands,
I advise them to address O. E. Chichester,

whom the most implicit confidence can be
placed, and will act fairly to all PARTIES
