The Richmond Wing, after counsellins

The Richmond Wing, after counselling
moderation and forbearance on the part of the
white people now that the ubiquitous Civil
Rights bill has become law, thereby disap-
pointing and discomforting the conspirators
against the public peace and liberty, says ::
There are some of the more intelligent,
sagacious, and thoughtful of the black people,
WHO, however far they may be from reaching
into the depths of the future and seeing the
conclusion of it all in the end, have sufficient
appreciation of the immediate surroundings OF
the situation, and enough Of selfrespect, we
trust, to induce them to discountenance all
insolent intrusions upon the proprieties OF
social life as it is now in the South, and In the
name of peace, and for the sake of the existing
relations between the two races, to reprcss as
far as practicable any staggering bravado, or
insulting invasion of personal rights, to which
others of their color may be moved, either by
the Vaccinations of bad white men behind
them, or by their own disposition to exemplify
their liberties in license that cannot be en-
dured."
