We do not exaggerate when we admon'sn
you of the dlsheartening fact that every
slreet.diSturbance, every homicide, OF Wnat-
ever character, by whomsocVer committed,
by black or white Republicans, or Demo-
Gratis, such as are incident to every commu.
nitr upon earth, is perverted into proof OF
a spirit of wlasSncss and violence on pur-
pose to accomplish political ends.
We we'll know the gross injustice OF such
charges. which have weight only where lsno-
rance of our true condition prevails. Stref-
uous efforts are now being made by tnose
who mlsrepresent you to induce the passage
by Congress OF the most dangerous measures
in order to irritatc our people, to drive them
to despair, and to provoke them to violent
outbreaks in order to furnish an excuse for
applying for military interference.
We express the hope that a majority OF the
~ bnF IT n
sanction such legislation. If it be accom-
p>hed it would be against the protest not
only OF Democrats but of the moral North,
and tue craftsmanship here of the party in
power, and Of such Republicans az Bryant,
Evarts, Charles Francis Adams, and others,
whose patriotism and sense of justice are
known to the entire country.
We may, however, mistake. The most
extreme oppression and unconstitutional
measures may be imposed upon you. In
such event we would appeal to the wisdom
and patience Of a long suffering people by
every hope of the fuure tor continued 1or-
bearance and hopeful reliance upon the viz
tue and sense Of justice Of the American
people for the ultimate rindication OF our
rights, the protection Of our Liberties, aud
the safety of our republican form OF govern
ment.
