PERSONAL DUTY,
Here suspend this testimony such is the simple and
harmonious record, showing how from the beginning
was devoted peace how constantly longed for re-
conoiailon-hoW. with every measure Of equal rights
this longing found utterance-how It became an essen
tial part of my life-how discarded all idea OF ven
| geance or punishment-how reconstruction was to my
| mind, a transition period and how earnestly looked
forward to the day when after the recognition of equal
rights the Republic should again be one in reality as In
name. If there are any who ever maintained policy
of hate, l was never so minded and now IN pro pro

In embracing the opportunity unexpectedly presented

and confident that the choice OF Horace Greeley VIII

election resorting TO prejudice and invention insist first,
that the Democratic party which has adopted as lts can

ADHESION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Evidently there are individuals calling themselves
Democrats who feel little sympathy with the movement,
and there Others who insist upon the old hates,
whether toward the North toward the freedman.
Unhapply. this Is only according to human nature 1t
must DO So Therefore, though panied in feeling, my
trust is not disturbed by sporadic cases cited in news
papers or by local incidents. This is clear In spite Of
politicians and against their earnest Efforts the people
