These orders show the true relation be-
tween Lynch and the "colored voter whom
! he has sworn to obey his mandate. He
| speaks like an an 0racle-a military COM
mander with power over life and DEATH and
| 1T is known that the negroes of the League
are obeying his orders; they are hunting up
votes sending boys to register, not 81 wears
of age inducing perjury to s'hunt up votes"
| registering the same voters in two counties;
| brow beating and intimidating negroes to
vote with the Loyal League; and this in vio-
| lation of positive laws of the United States
Congress overturned the constitutions of
ten States, established martial law therein,
and sent five great armies with as many
commanders at an expense of unnumbered
millions for the purpose of protecting the
negroes in the free exercise of the elective
franchise. Congress supposed their former
| masters would coerce and intimidate the
freedmen. They were mistaken. The white
men of Mississippi stood aloof from such
crimes. Lynch, Eggleston, Mckee, Rails
back and other foreign negroes and political
Albinos have seized upon the e" colored vo-
ters" and bound them hand and foot, soul
and body, to vote the Republican ticket.
Lynch and Company profess to be the
friends of Congress and the negro but they
violate Ghe laws of Congress-viOlate the
rights of the freedmen, and call on the army
to support them in defrauding the negroes OF
their votes. and depriving them of I'll free
xercise of the elective franchise.
The Union army-the army of freedom
the army that pretends to support the cleo
tive franchise-the army that was sent here
to support the negro-with argus eyes and
Briaerian arms, stands quietly by--glves pro-
lection to the Loyal Leagues-allows them
to cast the negro vote of ten great States
make them slaves of the Loyal Leagues,
and on election days to march them to the
polls to vote the Republican ticket, in mill
tary rank and file, TO the terror and intimi-
dation of all good citizens.
This military mode of conducting an cleo
tion is prohibited by article 79, page $50 of
the Revised Code, and is punishable by fine
and imprisonment.
Freedmen coIored men of Mississippi, we
