any Sucn cail. l nc person TO address
them OH that occasion'was ono Bowen.
This Bowen, as the speaker was IN
formed, is villain. lie had been ar
rested by Gen Sick!cs. lie was not
q proper person to address the colorcd
people. They should rathcr look to
friends at home, and unite with their
friends at home, rather than With un
known men from abroad. This man
Bowen is unworthy to address you,
and he would ruin you. He is not
worthy to advise, and | would say do
not attend his meeting.
One report the speaker had / cen re-
qucstcd to notice. n rumor got out
that colorcI man of your number
used some violent language in favor of
coniiscation. The speaker had sent
for this man (and 1t is John Bratton
whom you all know, and asked him
about it. lie (John) said it was
false said he was friend TO the
white man, and thinks the white man
u friend to him. IIo is on the ground,
and | can appeal to him as to the
truth of what L say.
Mr.. Rutland closed by saying that
although he had prepared no rceu-
lar speech, yet he hoped he had said
enough to convince all that it was
their duty to register, 60 to the polls,
and there elect proper men to repre-
sent them at tho Convention to be
held next winter.
Col j. III. Rion followed Mr.. Rut-
land, and delivered an able statistical
and argumcntativo speech, of which
we can hardly give anything like full
report.
Col. Ron said that the gentlemen
who preceded him found some fault,
but it was not upon any thing of that
kind that he would address them. lie
had no elaborate preparation, was 60
ing to tell them all plain truths, and
that truth needed no preparation.
Ho said the occasion was that of the
anniversary Of tho common indcpcnd-
cncc of the United States, and he
would trace back, particularly, events
which made them frccmcn to the same
war which made the whites free.
The white people did not fight to

While they claim no credit for your
freedom, for they deserve none, yet
