4 hope that viii bo the result any
way, and cannot believe that Messrs,
Hamilton, Peasc, Caldwell and Da,
Wis, whatever may be said of them,
arc at heart desirous OF anything
else. What else can they want
And what object could they have in
keeping up u fnrsy As for the pc.
litical power, they have pretty well
secured that, so long as the darkies
stay in their leading strings, or
rather SO long ms they remain united.
The usual history Of ruling ii,ciions
is. however, ended with Split, and
Nthon tho white folks will stand II
chance. i.l. 70 l.u'I..i-T.t
There one thing which the Con-
vention should by all means do.
Geo. w. Pasclnl and Captain John
never agreed very well in politics,
and have had many good scold ut
cash, other in tho last twenty years.
\ We have, however, como together
on ono platform and are la entire
accord, though wc have not person
ally met for years. That platform
is Paschal's Digest. George W., !
know, believes that Digest is a
spleD1id thing, and SO dol nmy
opinion IL is the best book of the
kind ] eyer saw, and were there
Conservative Legislature, and wore
Ia Conservative politician, 1 should
;make,the purchase lof n thousand
copies Of thatbook by the State in
.dspcpsiblc to 1thct continuance of
tho government. OF course tho
Copycntiop will hardly listen, to me
about ahytling, but if any mcm-
Der secs this and votes iodbuy that
book, afterwards, | shalt certainly
patihim on thcIback. and say he has
done good thing, even though ho
follows the advice of my, friend Mr..
Pease, and the next minute votes to
keep me awhile longcr out Of tile
present notified family Of citizen

Speaking of str. Peasc, reminds
me to say another thing and that is,
if the State will sell all beyond the
Pecos9 TO- the General ,aovernmnit
for hundred millions, more or less,
and invest the money in railroads,
l think We shall Soon have an tho
population odr;Statc can we'll man
age, and L am perfectly willing,that
land shall go.
b2 And another thing, If the recon-
mcndaton Of tic Governor to give
a homestead out Of the public do
main to all those who have not re-
ccived one. from theStnte is adopted, /

shali Immediately. subscribe my
claim to such homestead to any col
ored 'man and brudder' tlqat needs
that additional inducement to 90.
This is most excellent soiutionSofl
