have enfranchised the negro in every
Territory,-in the District of Column

clothing him with this right in the
ten Southern States, at the point of
the bayonet. If you believe all this

you are against Negro SufErage-if
YOU believe this is a White Mans
Government, made by White Men for
the benefit of White Men, you will
vote for Smith, the Democratic nomi-

in this city who introduce negro
wenches to the white ladies who visit
them, and who sit with them in tho

he will exert all his influence in favo
of it. But if you think otherwise
if you think it an unspeakable wronI
