important to them to have the gond
will of their white neighhors than it is
to have the good will of we of tho
North. The negro can no: expect that
the Federal Government will be al
ways interfering in the South for his
benefit. The policy to that end has
been hut temporary, and in the nature
of things will soon end. The Northern
negro, instead of enaeavoring to ex-
cite his Southern brethren by inGam-
matory resolutions and violent speech
es. should pour oil on the troubled wa
tiers. and advise him to the most con-
ciiatory measures in any diferences:he
may have with the whites.
Here is the great danger which be-
sets the negro atthe present time: He
is keeping up distinct political or
ganizaton founded on race alone, there
by increasing white opprobrinm, which
wonld be mncl lessened if the negroes
were divided among themselves and
amalgamated among antagonis:ical
white parties. What would be thought
/ if The Germans and Irish were con-
stantly assembling together and hold
| ing German meetings, ard Irish ones
! addressed by Germans and Irish speak
ecs. and passing Germans and Irish
resolutions. for German and Irish pur-
poses. against the rest of the commune
ty? The negro does not certainly
stand on any better footing. He is
making this great mistake; he seems to
; imagine he is loved by the Northern
Republicans. He is not. They havo
fount! it convenient to use him for their
own benefit for a time; but he cannot
count upon their fidelity moment
j, when their interests lie the other way.
, They would swap off the negroes i'll
, s,antly for the sake of a union with the
, whites OF the South, If by that they
t could attach them to their organization.
l They never intended to give the ne
e gro his freedom. hut were forced into
: it by the bravery and courage OF the
e South. Without making any extraor-
: binary professions, we may say we
:, wish the neg,oes well, and we MANI
fest it by giving them good counsel.
