CoLoRED MEN FOR OFFICE.-Mr. III. III.
Garnet says that the friends Of the black
man, and his enemies too, for that matter,
manifest even more interest about the ne
gro's holding Office than the black man
himself does. He says:
1--WE claim impartial suffrage, with oil
its advantages, as the right OF every Amer
lean citizen, without respect to race or
color Our motto should be tools to
those who can best use them all the sur
rounding circumstances duly considered.
When the sovereign people command an
American citizen to step into place Of
high responsibility, it is the duty Of the
chosen man to obey that sovereign voice.
But whoever attemps to elevate himself
or others to Office in the Federal Govern.
ment simply on account of the color Of
his skin is, in my opinion, guilty Of an act
Of great folly The conduct Of the voters Of
the District Of Columbia and Of Tennessee
meets my approval and l presume that
similar course will be pursued throughou
the South"
Mr.. Pennington writes that it is neither
necessary, desirable, nor well to press col
ored men for Office now, and he thus spoke
of colored harmony:
~ am satisfied that we have not mar
whose political influence woald unite tn,
votes of the colored men for that Office
Colored men are like others. / do MOI
treat this subject as joke or as a matter
ofspeculation: but treat it as matter o
serious import which calls for the mos
profound reflection and forethought. Gu
civil die is fairly cast; in entering upoi
political career it should be our care not Il
be dragged into false and ridiculous posi-
ton by mistaken friends and enemies in dis
guise. Nothing would do more to damag,
the dignity OF our cause"
