We go to find our frie,idsY We caunot go to
|,the Radicals they live in the North They
cpn,c South, fool us out Of our votes, go back

gst out Of Office and want anothcr eone
lSl tell you, money is at tile root pf all tlitir
regnish talk and rascally acts We have
| ss-aahszIl oflilid that woudbc given to the Black
NAH, but VIC have never seen it yet, ami never
will see it. don't believe the Just uoa would
suffer the work OF such injustice to 60 on; aud
these sheep. p.hcadcd Radicals can sec too far
into the future not tn know what the i'll
consequences would be if they attempted to
once; I'll tell you what changed me; When
[ came to this place in January, had not
bread for my family to cat. There was, with
my dear little tender ones, suffering for some
thing to cat. Oh, brethren, you do not know
how my brain burned how my heart was made
to bleed, by the cries fmy starving children.
| went to my Radical friends. They would
not lend me one bushcl of corn; but tho
gracious Lord, in his infinite wisdom, directed
me to the Dcmocrats--thosc whom I once
called my enemies. 1 found food for the
hungry, drink for the thirsty, and am now
| happy, because / feel that / have friends.
| They will let me have what I want, but we
cant get anything from the Radicals unless
we get the Democratic man to stand our sccur-
ity. Which OF the two net like our friends :?
[ tell you now, if you are not working to sup
port your Southern friends, you had better,
ere you learn to do GO to your sorrow. Go to
the Bible. 1t will tell you that when Christ
was on earth, lie told the people to beware OF
| tho publican. which is the snmo as Radioel--
| nor do as they did. You know, brcthrrn II
| tho Saviour spoke Of them in that way, they
must bo grand rascals. We arc popr, pitiful
crchturcs--got no homo, no money. Let us
work, then, to make friends. How in the
world can VIC live but in and through the
Democrats? You may think they can't do
without our labor, but they can they can set
white lnborcrs. Dear brethren take my advice
l love you, au,i if sou do moi wish to wound
my feelings, stick To the Southern man. We
is your friend.
If you will joiH inc; wait you to come
over uhn live with nc next year. If you don't
bill you farewell, brethren yes long fare
well. | will have nothing norc to 1o Will,
you, only when yotir sweet houthcd Radicals
leave you, to starvc. Then will give yo,
brcad--tltc Democrats brcad--to keep YOU
alive.
May God move from your eyes the scales OF
ignorance, that you may see the path which is
leading you to your own ruin.
| | have a fine crop Of cotton, corn and pota
toes. hope well all have good luck, and
mako money enough to buy us piece of land
from our Southern friends. Answer tllis letter
as soon as you get it. Tell me all about my
friends. Your aficctionatc brother.
