tlemen of education, property and
character, to you, We men and espe-
cialiy ye women, who never received
anything from these colored people
but services, kindness and protection
did it never occur to you that these
same people, WHO are so very bad, will
not be willing to sleep in the cold
when your houses are denied them,
merely because they will not vote as
yeu do Z? That they may not be willing
to starve, while they are willing to
work for bread ? Did it never occur
to you that revenge, which is SO sweet
to you, may be as sweet to them :?
Hear us, if nothing else you will
hear, did it never occur to you, that
if you kill their children with hun
ger, they will kill your children with
fear? Did it never occur to you, that
if you good people maliciously deter
mine that they shall have no shelter,
they may determine that You shall
have no shelter ?"-I'0d. R. C0ldtceU.

And therefore, l say, if it were pos
siblc, as in the large cities it is posi-
ble to establish separate schools fo
black children and for white children
it is i'll the highest deer inexpedien
to ether establish or tolerate sucl
schools.
The theory Of human equality can
not be taught i'll families, taking int
account the different condions of til,
different members of the families com
posing human society; but in thu
public school, where children of al
classes and conditions are brought to
gether, this doctrine of human equal
ity be taught, ana it is the chic
means Of securing the perpetuity o
republican institutions. And mas
much as we have in this country fou
million colored people, [ assume tina
it is public duty that they and TIN
white people of the country, Will
whom they are to be associated in po
litical and public affairs, shall be as
simulated and made one in the funda
mental idea of human equality. There
fore where it would be possible t.
establish distinct schools, am agains
it as 4 matter OF public policy-;SenG

by the treachery Of Republican
members of Congress, elected in larg'
part by colored voters, the negro i
continued an outlaw. Fortunately til,
negro has the ballot. He owes it t,
himself to use that ballot in Furnishing
the treachery of the men whose trea
son to professed principles leaves hin
n victim to negro hate. Every ballo
that shall be cast by colored men fo
the so-called Republicans who on Sat
urday ;9ht last voted against the pas
sage Of the Civil Rights bill will be re
garded as SO many Endorsements O
their treason. Our people are not tn,
towards to kiss the hand that smite;
them. They must not be led into til,
support of pretended friends by so
phistry nor by intimidation. DEFEA-

VOTED AGAINST THE CIVIL RIGHTS
| Bill. DOWIi0s, negro Presi
dchh Of Frcedmon's Saui1Js Bank.
We want the Civil Rights bill passed
and enforced, and in the name of ou1
dead soldiers we demand its passage
We demand that our wives and daugh.
ters shall ride in what vehicles they
| please, when and where they please,

We demand that our children shall be
admitted to the common schools of the
country, and [ want it shown to in
flated white men that the colored man s
blood is not inferior to the white mans
| blood. x We demand in the
name of our dead colored soldiers
that there be given to us complete
and constant equality everywhere
Then we will exercise our Judgment
where we will go, when We Will go,
and how far we shall go, if we are able
to bear the expense. When we pay for
berth i'll Pullman sleeping car we
do not want to be showed into Jim
Grow car. When we pay for room
at the Arlington Hotel We want to go
| there. Let our institutions be broad
and deep; let us be masters of liberty
on this continent.-JOhnM ~. Langsio,l,

The is no more signal error than
the supposition that the defeat of this
bill tends to settle anything. x L
