advised them to exercise it with good
Judgment. To learn to fully appreci
ate these great privileges which are be-
ing conferred upon them, they should
educate themselves and their children.
1t is tie duty and the interest of the
white men to help the colored men in
their educational and moral training.
If we were. actuated 10y the interest
alone, we should rather contribute to
than attempt to retard their advance
ment. They ere politically the equals
of the whites, and education will go tar
to make them morally mentally so
Let there be DO war Of races among us
let us look to each others welfare.
1t is true that many Of the whites are
deprived OF the political rights which
the colored men Will enjoy, but that
should not and will not create envious
and unkind feelings lie concluded by
advising them to regard the white men
who have been born and reared among
them as friends Let no harsh feelings
exist between us; look to each other's
welfare and happiness and last, though
not least, look to your educational and
moral Improvement.
SPEECH OF WM. TALLY, WuITe ..
Mr. William Tnlley said he fully ap
preciatcd the confidence and respect
manifested in the invitation to address
his colored friends in relation to the
condition Cf the country, and would
under circumstances, have attempted
full discussion Of the subject. But
the subject itself was one SO vast in i'm
portance, and the notice Of such a
meeting SO brief, that he did not pur-
pose to do more than indicate his
hearts concurrence in soinc Of the views
already presented, intending thereby
to add his testimony Of their correct
ness. He said that they had heard that
the interests of the white man and the
colored man of the South were one and
the same. They are parts Of the e'same
society, inhabiting the same land under
the same sun, breathing the same at
mOsphere, and,if the lessons of history
and reason taught anything Q, they taught
that, under such circumstances, the two
races must prosper or perish together.
Differences Of soil, climate and gov
ernment are the principal causes ofdif-
ference, and consequent conflict Of in
terest. In vast country, with wide.
range Of climate and almost infinite va
riety Of soil, there must naturally, per
haps necessarily, arise such conflict
Legislation, which may lie produc-
tive Of good results to one portion Of
such country, may be utterly disas-
trious to another. But, with the same
soil and climate, and surrounded by
circumstances the same in all essential
particulars, the white man and the col
0red man Of the South have the same
interest, the same destinys, ItWas i'm
possible at this time to mark out and
recommend any particular, line of poll
icy. Everything was in doubt and con
fusion. :e.oit

Of industry were palsied by the uncer
tain, condition of affairs The coun-
try can know no prosperity without
peace, and that end can be attained only
by discarding all clements of strife, and
promoting harmony and concert off ac-
ton. The advice which common sense
gives to the colored population of the
South incthe present emergency is, to
Try those of the community whom you
have knoWn--those who have hitherto
proved themselves worthy Of conf
dence-those who have the same inter
est Unite with those IF these de
ceive you, it will then be time enough
to experiment on the sympathies of
strangers. He said he knew he ex-
pressed the feeling Of the intelligent
white men of the South when he said
that they cherished no semblance of
hostility to the colored man on account
of his altered circumstances. The en-
emies of the South will endeavor to
foment dissensions and jealousies, for
the purpose of still further tearing,
weakening and plundering our already
desolated land but if the Southern peo-
pie, white and colored, stand united,
there is ground to hope that our chill
dren, if not ourselves, may enjoy a long
period oftranquility and peace, of pros
peFity and happiness.
We might fill columns with such cx-
tracts, but want Of space forbids.
