UNIFIERS' MANIFESTO.


You are doubtless convinced that our
dire "extremity' is the fruit of "unnat-
ural division" between our children
and our adopted children. And we
have an "abiding f,ith' that there is
love enough among sour children" Of
whatever Grace, condition or previous
color'' to unite them i'll the bonds Of
of-unity, etc, etc. Therefore, you will
observe the following recommends
tiOns:
/. HcnccfOrth you must tucdicatc'
yourselves exclusively to "uniiication"
definition in Wcbstcr's UnabridgeD-
all other matters to he Of minor impor-
tancc.
2. When we say "our children" we
mean what we say regardless of color
or consequential damages"
3. Henceforth you arc to advocate by
speech, pen and deed the equal and
impartial exercise of all social and civil
rights, liberties and familiaritics which
are guaranteed by present and future
laws and the claws of unity" and
"brOtllerhOod.'
4. You must pledge yourselves so far
as YOUR influence is concerned if you
have any and by yourexample (Which
is undcrstoou) to make "uniticatiOn'
live institution.
TO p,'opyietOys Of hufek*, restaurants, &C.:
You are not to allow any but Il feel
ing of sociability and brotherhood to
prevail among your guests. no guar
antce this you should dispense with
private parlors. Let all minglc socially
and cheerfully together, thereby saving
the sensitive and delicate feelings of
the races, and perhaps Il lawsuit. For
the same reason il is highly important
that you let no room or table be occu-
pied by one color alone. Mix 'em up.
Recommend the abolition of pt.rlumery
in barber shops and toilets, as it will be
supertiuous and entirely unnecessary.
There arc known to be five races who
may be among your patrons, but the
"previous onc' should receive your
un,iividcd attention..
To 1rii,DuH men,:
We would recommend the alteration
of the seats in your coaches, SO they
will face each other-it is, much more
sociahic. 1T is Also proper to abolish
ladies' coaches. Conductors of sleeping
coaches should not rent sections. 1t is
against Wuni1icatinn.' Never engage
race-it shows undue preference. Mix
'cm up.
To officers Of Sf,n7IGDot$, &C.:
Engage no state rooms until you get
under way, and then be careful not to
show amy preference on account of
"prcvious races" Dispense With the
ladies' cabin, and have one common
nursery. If complaint be made about
the assignment of rooms or bcrths,
make II change-give up your own
room or refund the money ;.hy so doing
you have thc"law on your sid".' Only
have one table and allow no seats to he
reserved. In employing hands have
the races equally represented. Don't
discharges amy of the ''conditional race
or Il "highly co!nrcd' report may be

gC- assessed.
In conclusion, we urge and rCron-
mend that the managers of theatres,
operas, concerts, &C., should sell no
seats until performance commences.
OthrrV isc the letting OF private boxes
or drrSs-circlc seats Nigh; cXcludca fair
representation OF races. Tho race for
seats would then be equal. We urge
no distinction in our public schools.
An equal division of all offices, Ma
tional, State and municipal. Should
there be one moro Office than will make
an equal division, abolish it or draw
straws for it. No preference shall be
shown in the employment of hands by
the proprictorS of fOun,lrieS, factories
and uthe industrial establishments on
account OF complexion or "preNi"us
race We ask no concessions from the
other race, but we voluntarily conrcdc
everything ourselves. We do so on
account of the numerical equality of the |
