HIS OPINION OF MOSES.


Now look at the position of our
Moses, poor drunken Andy, plebeian
sand hitler of North Carolina, man
who has occupied every position from
Alderman to President-what thing
is he; how lost to shame-even we mig
gers deteSt him, "Some men are born
great, others achieve greatness, and
some have greatness thrust upon
them" So with Andy. The assassiu's
bullet placed him where he is to-day,
and there are those who think he was
privy to the act. True, there is no
proof of the fact, but circumstances
squint strongly that way. He Is none
too good to do it. a man that would
deceive and betray his country would
think it but small affair to murder
the man who stood between him and IA
coveted position. That he should be
impeached, admits of no question. He
has performed acts during his admins
tration of affairs, that entitle him to
the hangman's halter, and If he had his
deserts he would to-day be where the
assassin Booth is. Time is inexorable
and will surely place him where he be-
longs. See the fate OF the traitors Ar
mold, and Tyler, and poor old Bu-
chanan, and in a few years hence even
those who court drunken Andy in his
present position, will turn their backs
upon him and treat him with the con-
tempt he so richly deserves. 1t is said
that Andy johnson, the drunkHrd, the
being acting us President of the United
States, is, carrying out the policy of
Abraham Lincoln, the purest states
man that the country has produced.
Thad. Stevens, in his great reconstruc-
ton speech, said: THAT if true, lit would
not justify his errors, but it is not true"
WORD ON SOCIAL EQUALITY.
The cry social equality is a bugaboo
to scare OF the greasy rabble. Now
there is no affinity between a acolored
man and the lower order OF white men,
and they only show that they fear us
when they raise any such issue. Good
Lord, deliver us from such social equal
ity. We have not got it amongst our
selves, and we do notseXpect 1t from the
whites who are in the same fix we are.
WHAT Is WANTED AND HOW TO GET 1T.
We want power. How will you get
IL; by education. You mothers, and
you fathers, you owe it to your coun-
try, you owe il to your race, you owe 1t
to pOsterityI that you be vigtlant to
your children's education; and you
Young men and young ladies You owe
it as IA debt that you shall be industri-
Gus in securing an educatisn. No peo-
pie can be enslRved who are educated
and intelligent, and no people can hope
to keep their freedom who are stepped
in Ignorance. 3as
We want money, we want property.
Save your earnings and buy little
home, no matter how small 1t may be,
it is yours. and you then own, por-
ton ofthe country, and have rigLt to
representation. for your property Will
be taxed, and the fundamental idea OF
a republics, no taxation without repre-
sentation.
CoIored men, we are all just stepping
out of our swaddling clothes; we do not
see clear vet; we are beset with many
dimculties; but If we are true to our
selves and true to our country, that
Congress which has done so much ior
US, will surely secure us IN our new
| 6onnd freedom. Letme adjure you to
/ stand arm in the right. Be as wise as
serpents, but harmless as doves.
There's q good time coming, boys, wait
a little longer"
