In a speech the other night to the PEG.
pie at Washington, before their election,
Hon. L. H. Chandler said that in 1861 the
present democratic candidate for Congress,
Merrick, would have had his name upon
flag with seven States. ''Mr Merrick's
supporters" said he, ''are principally those
who either fought in the rebel army OF
who plotted in secret, and who, if Early
had succeeded in his attempt to enter this
city, would have been the first to illuminate
their houses in honor OF the Southern Con-
federacy. He said that the emancipation
of slavery also liberated the poor white
man and enabled him to enjoy freedom,
which he did not possess in the South be-
fore the war. Did you ever hear of an
Irishman representing any of the South
ern States, in Congress before the war
Now, however, that slavery is abolished
that the poor man there has an equal RICH

and reaching an elevation which their tai
ents entitle them to-"

ADJOURNED.

The adjournment of Congress gives a
feeling of relief to the country. While
it continued in session there was dread
uncertainty as to lwhat course it might
pursue, judging from what we have SEEM
which it is agreeable to have removed.
Out of the discord and confusion of the
few weeks which have passed there has
come the measure for protecting the peo-
pie OF the South against the Ku-Klux, and
that is nearly all, unless we allow that
the explosions of personal wrath have
been productive of better state of feel
ing in and around the Capital. 1t is well
that the disclosures in relation to the Ku-
klux and the condition of the South have
been made and remedy applied. With
out the facts presented at this session we
should have had little knowledge of the
actual state of affairs in the South. ant
without the check now to be applied
disastrous consequences might have re
suited. 1t is due to this session that tn,
republican party is led to see the i'm
portance of the conflict before us, an,
that it stands united, self-reliant an,
strong, ready to battle for the success 0
the principles to which it is pledged b.
its past platforms and victories.

FRED DOUGLASS TO THE COLORED
MEN OF COL UMBL1.

The contest in the District Of Columbia
over the election of thursday was close
and exciting. The old secession element
turned every stone to elect their candidate
for Congress. On the republican side
there was equal activity Between the
two there was pretty thorough discus
sion of political parties. The address
which we publish below from Fred Doug
lass to the colored voters is clear state
ment of the issues involved, and ought to
be read by every colored man in the coun-
try, as well as by white men.
CoLoREp MEN OF CoLuaB1A: Listen to me
for moment. You are to vote ON Thurs
day. Two parties and two sets of candidates
solicit your votes. The more imnortant cam
didates tor one or the other of whom Won
must vote are Hon. Richard T. Merrick on
the one side, and General n. p. Chipman an
the other. These two men represent two
parties. Mr.. Merrick represents the demo.
cratic party, and General n r. Chipman tho
republican party. No doubt that both gen.
tlemen represent their parties equally well
and whichever is victorious in this election
will bring victory to the principles and pur-
poses of his party. He'll and heaven are not
more opposite than are the spirit and pur-
poses of these two parties. You know the
partier. You know the men who represent
them. Mr.. Merrick stands for the past He
clings to the "good old tunes times when
slave holding, slave selling, slave hunting,
slave auctions, slave gangs, bound in chains
like wild beasts, were hurried away from
wives, children, and friends to the New Or.
leans market; when a colored man could moi
in safety visit the Capital of the country, and
when its own natiye-born citizens were not
allowed 70 walk the streets in peace after 8,
o'clock at night; when colored man could
neither ride on a street car nor enter the halls
Of Congress; when the popular cry was
HALF . cent to kill negro, and half a cent
to bury him." Yes. Richard L. Merrick
represents these "good old times, and his
election would be triumph, a resurrection OF
the spsysfs Of these "good old times"
On the other hand, General N. j. Chapman
the new era of American civiliza-

ton, which gives all men an equal chance in
the race of life, which leaves no man in bond
age, and opens the way to all alike to wealth,
education, and happiness. He represents
the celored man emancipated, enfranchised,
educated-with equal rights as a man and a
laborer in time of peace, with equal duties as
citizen and a soldier in time of war. He
represents all the new constitutional amend
ments and Congressional enactments in favor
OF liberty and equality. In II word, he repre-
seuts the spirit of Abraham Liucoln, whom
traitors murdered, and under whose admin
istration the Union was saved and slavery
was abolished. He represents General U. S.
Grant, the first general to lead colored troops
to battle, and the first President to recon-
mend giving colored men the ballot, and who
to-day stands foremost in the great party of
progress.
Between these men and their opposite par
ties and principles you are to choose on
Thursday. The issue is made up between
the old and the new, between the democratic
and republican candidate for Congress-be
tween Richard T. Merrick and General N. ?.
Chapman. For one, l say, shame, eternal
shame, upon any colored voter who supports
Richard T. Merrick, and withered be the
black mans arm and blasted be the black
mans hand who casts a vote against General
N. P. Chapman.
Be not deceived colored citizens. No
change has taken place in the Democratic
party What it once was it still is. What it
did when it had the power that it will do
when it gets the power. The skin may be
new, but the snake is old and his fangs
poison Beware! trust him not. Among all
horrid, disguised, midnight murderers of the
South there would be the widest joy over
the election of Mr.. Richard T. Merrck,
while our hunted, harrassed, and bitterly

Pardon me the liberty take in addressing
you. Both self-interest and principle alike
unite in the one duty of voting on Thursday
the whole republican ticket and no other.
Your friend,
FREDERICK DOUGLASS.
