Brick Pomeroy to the Freedmen.

Brick Pomeroy happening to be
prcaent ut mass meeting of the
colored people of Macon, Georgia,
addressed them as follows:
Ny friends-I call you friends,
though am from a Northern country,
many miles from here. | know none
of you, and never expect to see any of
/ you again. | rise before you simply
as plain man, wishing equal and ex-
act justice to all. shall speak in plain
! language and shall use no big works.
l have come from my Northern home
to see for myself the condition of the
black man and the condition of the
/ white man. You have to work now :;
you have been given the privilege of
citizenship, but you have to work now.
You commenced your elevation from
a mighty low down point; you have to
make friends of somebody: your best
! friends are those who do the most for
/ you, and who charge the least for it
| those who urge to honesty, industry
and frugality. You have much to do.
You have been brought up to labor
and ignorance you have your school
houses to build, your homes to pro
vide, your families to feed and clothe.
your children to raise, your parents to
protect and bury, and your little
bitsY' children to raise Now STAY in
the country where you are known
we don't want YOU in the North; we
have plenty of labor there There are
hundreds there who care nothing for
you, only to make a dollar or ten bits
out of you. Why the New England
negroes have no more chance for
office from the white people than I
have of curling my hair as yours is
curled; your friends are in the South,
not in the North.
Why where | live, the ice on the
Mississippi is two feet thick-here it
is warm and genial; there the peoples
hearts are as cold as the climate; they
get warm only when they want your
votes; but come up there for aid and
protecion--I ''can't see it..

We find the following circular pub

sumo similar plan will be adopted in
this State. 1t is obvious, remarks the

will limit those white persons from
whom a selection may be made as reg
istrars to a very small number:

SIR In order to facilitate the la
bors of the military authorities in pro-
viding for a registration of the legal

that YOU furnish to this department
without delay, list of all persons in
your county irrespective of color
who are competent and qualified to act
rs Registers, and who can take the
accompanying oath.
1t is desired by Major General
Griffin, Commanding, that each county,
if possible, furnish its own Registers.
You will therefore spare no pains to
furnish the list at the earliest moment.
Send, at once, those who come within
your personal knowledge: afterwards,
such others as YOU may ascertain, no
ting particularly their business quail
fcations as far as practicable. The
best men, that is, those who are most
competent, and who will act fairly
and promptly should be noted.
ID You are further requested to
give the number and name of each
voting precinct in your county.

who are entitled to vote under the
laws of the State. The percentage of
those disqualified to vote can be better

l cannot too strongly urge upon
YOU. and through you, upon the PEG

est extent, every aid possible, in order
that the military authorities may be
enabled to execute the acts of Congress
with promptness and fairness.
