We cannot have social or political equahty.
God has given TO each distinct qualities. We
want them to improve our a2ricultur,e
not cultivate. With the negro the white peo-
pie desire amicable, civil and kind relations;
If broken, it will be the fault Of the colored
man. Break not the relationship. The Hadl-
Gals desire war Of races. Let me warn you
not to commence it. IF it should come your

race has never yet, in the history Of the world,
ruled superior, not even in England or Spain.
Collision is in store, and certain death. I trust
that you will break up your leagues and return
to the white man. AS I said before, if o collis-
ion commences, you will follow in the path
already trod by the Indian. Let US, IN sthle
trying crisis, do our whole duty, and predict
the doom Of scalawags and carpet-baggers.
