GEREIT SMITH, JOHN BROWN, AND THE CHI
cAGo TRIBuSE.-Horace White, editor of the
Chicago Tribune, was absent when that estab-
lshment compromised for the libel suit
brought by Gerrit Smith, but now publishes
Il card, in which he makes the following state
ment:
81 am in possession of information which
enables me TO affirm that Mr.. Gerrit Smith
was fully advised of John Browns purpose to
make an armed invasion or raid upon rirgi-
MIA for 4 long time prior to such invasion or
raid that the said Gerrit Smith 'assented to
and co-operated i'll such invasion or raid, with
advice, money, and counsel: that interviews
took place between John Brown and Gerrit
Smith at the residence of the latter, in Peter
boro', New York, in the summer of 1859, at
which John Brown unfolded TO Gerrit Smith
his plan, so far us it was then matured in
forming him particularly that Chambersburg,
Pa. had been fixed upon as the place to which
arms should be first sent; that the plan con-
templated not merely 4 method OF running
of slaves, but a military occupation OF the
country and general instruction OF slaves,
accompanied by violence and bloodshed, and
that Gerrt Smith knew it, assented to it, and
furnished money to carry it forward. leave
the public to judge how far this state OF facts
comedies with the statement that Gerrit
Smith had no previous knowledge or lntima-
ton of John Browns invasion of Harper S
Ferry leave the public 10 judge also how
much honor he does to the memory OF John
Brown under the circums tances."

THE Issues BETWEEN THE PARTIES IN THE
NoRTH.-It will be seen from the following
paragraph, which is taken from the Newark
IN. ~ Journal, that the Radicals in the North
have not n word to say in favor of negroes
holding office. They are in many States afraid
TO come out even in favor of negro suffrage:
The Democrats of Montgomery county,
Ohio, are to hold 4 convention to nominate
county officers, and call upon the Democrats
and all Others of said county opposed to NEGRO
SUFFRAGE and the FRAUDS and CUrruptionS of
the Radical party of Ohio and in favor of
equal taxation to elect delegates to said con-
vention. The terms of the call should be imi-
tated by Democratic conventions everywhere.
BY taking bold ground against the worse than
folly of negro suffrage, the Democracy will
have all the advantage of a living issue, often
Sire and defensive against the Radical mo-
neyed party. Unless this principle is clearly
stated, and the white people of the country
rally 10 preserve their government in their
own hands, we have little hope of overthrow.
ing the party which has placed itself on the
negro suffrage basis. The subject is not one
to be tempered with, but must be vigorously
met and discussed, and the fallacieS of the
advocates of mongrelism exposed. Let the
people in their conventions show their hands
upon this question and compel all candidates
for Office to do the same. The Democracy are
opposed TO negro suffrage and the frauds and
corruptions of their opponents"

LOUISVILLE, June 81, 1867.
To Messrs, Charles Perrp G. b. 7HoaGs, and a
". Smith, G'a"aittee, Lexington, Ky.
Gentlemen.--Your communication Of the
goth instant, inviting me to deliver an addraa.
to the colored citizens OF. Lexington ON the All
proXimo, came duly to hand. AS T,nn oo,,,
PEELED to be in Washington city on the DIV NJ
Your meeting, am forced TO decline vonr no
lite invitation. You ask for advice. deem
II a pleasure and privilege to give Won tho
benefit of my counsel whenever YOU NAV wish
1t, and It is n source of much gratificniion to
me to see that, thrown rs you are. TO a certain
extent, upon your own resources, you are
honestly and earnestly seeking for light. and
are willing to learn of those who are of larger
experience than yourselves You are now
emphatlcally the architects of your own for
ylhes-your dcstnies are in your own hands.
Your friends have done about all that can be
done for you; what remains to be accom-
pnsned must and can be accomplished by your
serves: Learn 10 appreciate fully the respon.
slnitities which are resting upon you, and the
duties which you owe to yourselves, TO your
posterity, and to your country. The world
is watching you-your enemies predicting for
you the fate Of the Indian, who is gradually
but surely disappearing before the advance
OF civiliZation-your friends hopefully, con-
fidently expecting your rapid advance to.
the position which, as citizens of this great re-
public, you are entitled to occupy. Cultivate
all the virtues which ennoble man; be honest,
industrious, sober educate yourselves, make
money, and learn 10 keep it; own your own
homes; identify yourselves rs good citizens
with the communities in which you may live;
in all your dealings with your fellow man do
as you would be done by, and learn to respect
yourselves that others may respect you. Much
trouble is anticipated in the financial world,
and one Of the results of this will be suffering
and distress among the poor. In view OF this,
it is of the utmost Importance that each and
all of you should secure some steady, remune-
rative employment. 1t were wise for those
who have been raised in the country to seek
employment there. The cities are already
crowded with the starving poor, who are I'M
able to find employment; and if, rs is antici
pated, the cholera becomes epidemic this sum-
mer, the crowded tenements and scanty fare Of
the poor of the city will surely invite and in
crease its ravages.
Again assuring you of my deep interest in
the welfare Of your race, am, very respect
fully, JAMES SPEED.
