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 oraele-a military com
mander with power over life and death, and
tits known that the negroes of the League
are obeying his orders; they are hunting up
votes" sending boys to register, not 81 years
of age-inducing perjury to "hunt up votes
registering the same voters in two countless
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 4" 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 the laws of Congress-violate the
rights of the freedmen, and call on the army
to support them in defrauding the negroes of
thair win of ! a froo
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-gIves 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 70, page $50 of
the Revised Code, and is punishable by fine
and imprisonment.
Freedmen coIored men of Mississippi, we
have deemed it our duty to address you
these words offriendly warning. You have
been deceived by wicked and signing me n
You have been induced under false preten-
ses of friendship, by foreign Office seekers
to abandon your own people and true friends
and cleave to your enemies. Lynch, one of
your own color, in part, has been selected to
deceive and defraud you. You are ignorant
of the great crimes they have induced you
to commits they are the guilty culprits at
present; but if you persist in your wicked
conspiracy after this friendly warning-if
Won 90 to the polls and vote under
the unlawful and wicked oaths you have
taken You will become as guilty and as Grim
inal as they are, and must share the same
fate
And for what purpose are you asked by
Lynch and his wicked associates to run the
risk of going to the penitentiary, being fined
a thousand dollars and forever deprived of
the right to vote
IF YOU consummate this crime, by voting
as agreed upon and, by keeping good your
oaths in this respect, you will forfeit forever
the right to vote for any body. Such is the
law. and if YOU persist in following the lead
of LYNCH and his Albino eo-conspirators,
YOU must expect to receive your doom.
Rut you have remedy. Your oaths are
not binding. Go before any Judge or Justice
of the Peace, and tell the whole truth about
the oaths, agreements. covenants, or allan
cos of the League. Ask their advice, and
thew will tell you the Law, and direct you
what TO do. Go to the Commander of the
Post-to Gen., .,Gillem, Gen. Mcdowell, or any
Military officer, near yOu-lell nln all bno
