Especial Dispatch to the Mo-, Democrat
Washington, April 23, ls66.--The
following interesting letter has been
received by the Finance Committee
of the Union Congressional Commit
tee, from number Of the co!Ored cit
liens of Philadelphia:
Philadelphia. April is, 1866.
Hons. w. u. Kelley. Cakes Ames
and J. w. Nye-Dear Sirs: En-
closed please find my check drawn to
the order of Hon. Cakes Ames for
twelve hundred and eighty-one dol
lars and fifty cents 12sl 5O) to be
applied by the Union Congressional
Committee to aid the cause Of uni
versal suffrage, by the circulation OF
Congressional speeches bearing d.
rectly upon this vital question,
At the risk Of appearing to make
invidious distinction relative TO the
many abb. and eloquent speeches
which have lately been made on the
floor Of Congress in favor of the good
cause. permit me to suggest that 1t
would be very gratifying to our con
tributors to aid, as far as our means
will afford. in the circulation of the
speeches of Messrs. Kelley, Sumner,
Gates. Trumbuil and Harris.
Your letter Of the 18th ult., which
prompted the Executive Committee
Of the Social. Civil and Statistical
Association Of the colored people of
Pennsylvania to engage in the move
ment, was heartily indorsed. Indeed,
a more gratifying evidence of deep
interest and sincere appreciation !
have never before seen manifested
by the colored people Of Philadel-
phia in regard to any movement at
tccting the welfare Of tina race -
Scarcely an individual to whom the
Committee applied failed to respond
cheerfully in a tangible manner
The truth is, colored people believe
firmly in Congress, and although
they have bad faith in Moses" they
believe the promised land is not far
distant. Every culored man and
woman now feels that the advocates
OF universal suffrage are now stand
ing upon Just and elevating princi
pies; that the rights of the OPP
pressed are being nob!y defended in
spite of great odds. prejudice and um
equal legislation.
l need not say TO youthat We have
not many rich men among us now,
that out Of the limited means we
may have We are frequently called
upon TO make sacrifices in directions
that others ar. NOT. Hence | hope
that YOU will no: teel that the small
Offering VIC now lay upon the altar of
freedom is AN ungratrtul one. Bur
be assured il you do not derive from
us much material aid, YOU Will hav"
the prayers Of the oppressed millions,
and added to the thought, ~" long,
We trust grare:u! county, redeemed
from prejudice and bondage. vii. re
pay YOU an hundred fold for your
devotion TO justice and liberty.
You will observe that the douatiou
