The game is this: The Press auo
Times and Il few co-workers have labor
ed night and day for many months to
convince the colored people that the
white people of the country are then
cnomics-their bitter enemies. They
have talked to the negro and written &c
him, and cntrea.ed him, leaving no
stone mturned to make him the enemy
Of the white man; they have organized
hellish leagues and administered to the
colored nan horrible oaths, and prom
ised him lands to which they have no
more right than the devil had to the
possessions he offered our Saviour on
the mount. All this have they done
until they have already induced many
Of the colored people Of this section to

destroying us and degrading our chill

savages who are nov reddening the
