MANHOOD" SHAVING.
THE COLORED PEO PIE OF
CADIZ In COUNCIL.
The Radical Platform Practi-
caIIy Considered

The free Americans Of African descent
resident in Cadiz, held a Mass Meeting last
Friday night at the Disciples Church, tc
take into consideration the action of the
"culled'' BARRIERS of Cadiz, who are living
in violation of the Radical platform, the
Civil Rights bill, the Great ''Union" party,
and the immortal Congress, by refusing to
shave ''gemmen OBJ color" promiscuously
with white persons. The "man aud broth
er" is determined to "hab his rights and
demands of his al.iriends that practical
equality which the proposed Negro-voting
Constitutional Amendment endorses imost
emphatically in theory. We hope all will
read and examine the preamble" and ere
solution" which has been handed US by
the colored folks with polite request that
we publish the same. We do SO to let the
people see what is expected by the black
man from the present position of parties:
PREAMBLE.
WHEREAS, Governments are instituted
among men for the protection of the Relig-
ious, Pecuniary and Political interest of the
people These just principles finds little
or no support from the ignorant ard vicious
The progressive spirit of the age caused
the late Chi t Magistrate to declare that a
wicked and unjust rebellion had made it his
duty to declare all persons held as slaves
should henceforth and forever be free. The
passing OF the Amendment to the Consti-
tuition declaring that there shall be neither
slavery no involuntary servitude within the
United States" The enactment Of the
Civil Rights Bill by Congress which de-
clares that all persons born in the United
States and not subject to any foreign power
except Indians not taxed are citizens
Which declares. "That such citizens of
every race and color without regard to pre- |
vlous conditions shall have the same rights |
IN every State and Territory" The exten. |
SION of Equal Suffrage in the District of
Columbia with other just measurers. The |
proposed Amendment to the Constitution
of the State of Ohio to make manhood
Suffrage the rule in view of this enlighten-
ed Sentiment and the endorsement of this
doctrine by the great Union Party, we
cannot but look with shame upon the re.
cent rules adopted by the BARRIERS of this
place. changing the established custom bv
refusing to shave colored men in com mon
with others.
Resotved, That we hold J. Scott, George
Henderson and James jackson for making
! distinction on account of color in shaving
hereby encouraging the principles of Slav-
Try. For these acts we hold them as enc
mes to the welfare of the colored race and
vi who hold similar sentiments.
The preamble passed the meeting on 22nd
" a vote of rs to IA young barber voting
lay.) The resolution by 78 to 2 the nays
icing BARRIERS.
Tho colored folks had high time on the
doption of the above resolution. The
arbers came in for great share of their
enunclatlon, one excited daykey declaring"
nat they (the barbers) would 90 un to de-
oils next fall and vote for Mullunninham.
'e are very sorry we were not present to
ear the discussion among our radical
lends of the darker hue, as we understand d
was rich. They wish the radical party
carry into practice what they preach, and
ant not only full political, but full social
luality to the "man and brother" The :,
i they make at the endorsement of the q
great Union party Of the proposed Con- G
ltutional Amendment is decidedly rich ,
I'd we would like every man in the county
read the resolution as showing the social
lase its adoption would develop, before :
oting. e
We have never before seen the nocessitv C
a session of Congress in July, but now a
cannot be avoided. The amendment to
National Constitution, several acts of
e "late lamented' Lincoln, the Civil
ghts bill, the Reconstruction measures,
d the amendment proposed by the great
mon party to the Constitution of Ohio.
We all been invaded by the BARRIERS of l.
diz, and Congress must reconstruct Cadiz,
the great principles of manhood suf
ge, MANHOOD SHAVING" and all the
est improvements of radicalism. Could 4
Brudder Bingham, ana the pious Lew 4
make out case for the colored ''broth, al
under the Civil Rights bill? Let de
