Gao end in view is Radical success In
the next presidential election ana the
means proposed contemplate "a syste-

q. -, States Nv the most efficient speakers
.,,.,,,h races" So that we are not only
:, 10 afflicted with white orators, but with
h,acS ones. The negroes will, II is sup
,,,ses. be more ready to hearken to the
anpeals of speakers of their own race than
to those of" white men with black hearts,
The committee proposes to establish IN
,hc southern States "Free Thought, Free
C,ccch and Free Press" "Frce
thought" is doubtless INDUCED in
very extensively in every country III
tho world, and we know no means
f preventing even a conquered peo-
nile from thinking what they please, whc-
fher their thoughts turn upon the wrongs
they suffer al the hands of their oppressors,
~ mon the every day affairs OF LIE; bnt
" Free Speech" and Gree Press are
At the present time unknown in these pro-
,;rccs and are supposed to have fled the
,,,,,rv in obedience TO the beheSts of
Radical Congress. 1t would be singular
proceeding 10 expatriate a man by act oil
CONGRESS. and then get out a writ OF ne
,.sot rsg,,o against him; but not more sin
o,,.r than for Radical CongresSto abolish
hr law "Frce Speech" and "Free
pross, and then declare that sit Is most
g essential that WE should now establish
a., those States Free Speech and Free
.press." The necessity is one OF their
own creation, and we shall be reJoiccd
when they shall have succeeded in ioosins
onr bonds and setting orr tongues free.
uTn times past" says the committee,
the Republican party was reproached as
,nc,iossl. bat now it is no longer so. 1t
has bv force of arms established Repuh-
lean party in the South, three-tourths
~. ,rbo,, have never voted. The commit
,ee mirh, have said nine-tenths. There is
no Radical party in the South except the
negroes and few whites who lead them.
And if We OF the white race are to be eX-
Guided from office while these intelligent,
nry)vmaie Radicals are to rule our seve-
raj States, the result will be not only
free Speech" Gree Press, and
Gree Thought but "Free Love"
" Tree.Necro Government, and aruined
country.
The committee makes strong appeal
for money. ali you are rich, give gene
rorsly. II poor, whatever you cam How
much better for both negroes and whites,
and for the peace, prosperity, and happl-
ness Of the country would it be for these
men to appropriate their spare money to
the relief of the thousands Of suffering
poor of both races. These sufferers ask
Tor bread, and the Radicals give them
speeches.
Ii is evidently the purpose of the Radl-
Gals to secure the vote Of every southern
State in the next presidential election IL
that result can be accomplished by fair
means or foul. This fact renders 1t the
duty of all who are not DISTINGUISHED to
register their names, and to initiate and
perfect such measures of reconstruction as
will free our State from that absolute con-
troll which Congress will always exercise
over it so long as it shall remain unrepre-
sentcd in that body.
