The VIEWS or VIRGINIA FREEDMAN-A negro
man in Richmond named Wyatt Lewis has issued an
address to the freedmen of that city, in which be
earnestly advises them not to into any party or
gansaton pledged to oppose the Southern whites and
them against tn c efforts of the men now eru.
gagged in persuading them to do so. He says:
These require of species of conduct posi-.
lively dishonorable. Many of us are in the emplo,
ment of gentlemen who, as we have reason to think
are disposed to deal towards us with fairness anoi
honor in our business relations But we are expected
and required, aiter receiving employment from re-
spectacle gentlemen in the d-y time to 90 at night
into political meetings and societies, where the violent
abuse OF these employers their class and race is the
principal theme of the speeches IF we are forced
into this of conduct then the common instincts
OF honor require that should quit empoyments
leave homes which are pleasant to ourselves and to
our families, in order that we may indulge, without
the pangs of dshonor and ngratitude in the new and
unnatural hatred, which violent insist upon kin
ding in the breasts of the colored people.
The mpolicy of this course is as papable as its i'm
proprlety In Virginia the colored race is in minor
lty 10 band them together is to force the white race
into counter combination, in which event our race
must certainly be outvoted 1t is claimed in opposi-
ton to this vlew that the white laborers aud mechan
les will unite with against the weotf whites. But
you know that there is less affection and sympathy be-
tween our race and the laboring whites than with the
richer class. We compete with each other in the la
Dor market. We want many things of TIE new State
government. W want the constitution to pro-
vide for the education of all children white and col
ored out of the public taxes We this constitu-
ton to level and oblterate all distinctions of color be-
fore the law. We cannot secure these most desirable
and most vital and priceless objects by forming our
selves into minority party of colored men, and fore
ing the white majority to vote US down. Our great
aim should be, not to create enemies but to make
sure and safe our rights and liberties
