lst. That while We honor Mr.. Sumner
for his great labors and sacrifices in be.
halt oil our race and are profoundly grate.
ful to him for the good which he thereby
noblY wrought, we recognize no claim on
his part that requires us to follow bis
leadership out Of the only party that has
ever belriended US, or whose record gives
us hope Of future friendship.
I'd. Believing that Gen. Grant will in
the future, as he has in the past, be true
to Republican principles and faithfully
enforce all the laws designed to protect
to the fullest the enjoyment OF all our
rights, we do hereby unanimously declare
that he is entitled to and shall receive our

ed: That we have hitherto recognized
Charles Sumner as friend to the colored
race in this country, but his recent course
docs not command our respect, We dis.
trust any alliance with the Democratic
party of the South and North, who have
always resisted the principles and meas
ures Of the Republican party, which gave
to US emancipation, civil rights and our
political freedom. That we believe the
hostility Of Mr.. Sumner is the result of
his personal prejudices against President
Grant, and that it is wiser and safer for
us to act with the Republican party; and
that Grant has been our firm friend and
defender during his administration, which
has been an era of freedom and elevation
to our race, such as this world has never
seen before. That we approve the course
and will follow the advice of our time hon
ored anti.slavery leaders, VIM. Lloyd
Garrison, Fred. Douglass and Gerritt
Smith, whose devotion to our rights can
not be questioned. ~...
