CoLORED CONSERVATIVES In the
name OF the Conservative party, we thank
the cOlOred men of this county for their as
sistance in the late election. Numbers of
them, who had heretofore blindly followed
and voted with the Radical party, have
shaken off the crushing grasp of Radical
despotism, and asserted and executed their
right and privilege to vote for whom they
desired. They have begun to open their
eyes and look at the situation in its true
light. Many of them who voted the Radi-
cal ticket have declared themselves dis
gusted with that party and have openly
expressed themselves In favor of Greeley
and Brown. We are inclined to think the
Grant-and-Ruin party will have but few
supporters in old Arson by the time the
people are called upon to express their
enolce Tor Observation-Disclosures argus.
