good will towards the white people of the
State, expressions which sound well but
which we should prefer to see backed ND by
acts OF like conservative and amicable char
acter. Does this language come as an honest
declaration of rights recognized but hitherto
violated, and does it express the honest pur-
pose to respect the same hereafter
Does it roa:ly mean that the negroes are
beginning to appreciate the inadequacy and
insuf6ciency Of the present Government and
are feeling as matter not only of justice to
the citizen, the prosperity of the State and
the safety Of their own race, that they must

citizens that the colored people Of Louisiana,
while seeking their own rights under the law,
not only make no war upon the white race but
recognize and respect as equally and sacred a.

profession Of good will.
