e We wish that the editor Of the Rich
mond Enquirer would write oftener in
ar AAA1A the following strain of sound Philoso-
:, ,,o,.r ply: a s ssrsrI isfn
y "0' If, then. tits i'm possible for us to avoid
the necessity of having the freedmen in
our midst, the fearful example of Ja-
- 81 TOYS maca ought to teach us how TO our
QI GSLlia utmost efforts towards making them FIRST
harmess and then useful We must
aYAE 5idw guard against the very possibility Of

again desolated the West India islands,

standing army, black Code, a constant
fear-evils Itch might be borne singly,

kindness We must convince them that
peaceful conduct, steady industry

feel for themselves what at first we may
try to make them believe upon word
the necessity Of being good citizens
-asr That this will involve many sacrifice
on part, and much modification to
pride, is certain; but il is equally
80 saaS certain that we shall be amply reward
ed for our efforts. And if Congress will
only wise moderation, our Legs

ag r.sFfE people will bravey face the difficult task
