George T. Dosnipg, President Of the oolore::
delegation st Washington, has addressed oard
to their friends in Congress- against the report OF
the Committee on Recoa1truction, passed by the
House GU the 10th lust, and to be considered next
week by The Senate. he says this report falls
heavily on the hopes OF tho colored man, dI- ap-
points tho expectations of the times, apd alto
gether fails short OF what the best interests OF
our country demands. Among other things it is
remarked that there is scarcely member OF the
Hvuee who voted in favor Of the proposition who
does not believe that, not only according to JUS
t;ce but 10 accordance With the spirit of the Con-
atitution aid the principles on which the Govern
ment is based, the right of eyery citizen without
resentation with every other citizen is unrues-
tionable, aud that there is nothing i'll the Consti-
tiou which forhids Congress securing CHS right
unto every oitz' q. ~
