wisdom. He did it for your good. Observe,
Ibcseech you, the position that your Heavenly
Father gave you, and spurn, as yoa would the
poisonous serpent, the miserable creature that
would whisper into your ear to avert His law
in order to give your decever power. Those
men. who tell you to deceive you, that you
know and understand all the laws relating to
suffrage, and the laws of government, say
what you know to be false. They are tram

falsehood that God made you not different
from the white race-believe the fa!sehood
that, uneducatcd, ignorant, as you areas you

you are able to exercise all the responsibilities
Of suffrage. Go on; but mark what tell

and when evil befall you, the only people that
will shed tear over your fate are the South

who will rejoice at your wrong are the crea-

betrayed race and country. They have been
false to truth. They have degised aud exc

My friends, of all classes, and of all condi-
