fore the people next fail and ask them
10 sustain the Republican party.
Throw aside your individual feelings /;
remember that the people Of the whole
State, ave, OF the whole country, are
looking to you to lcgislate wisely and
well for our beloved State. Let not
the Democracy say that they are in
favor of retrenchment, but that the
cololed people are opposed to it. All
the leaders OF our party ere in favor of
biennial sessions of the Legislature.
The people expect it. Our State is
nov fairly reconstructed and we do
not need annual legislation.
We have stated in this article that
we do not like to appeal to CoLORED
members OF tho Republican party.
We are all Republicans, and should
work Tor the common good of the
party. There are times when it is
necessary for colored Republicans to
counsel together concerning measures
which apply to them particularly,
but in matters Of legislation for the
people of the whole State, we consider
i t unwisc, unfair, impolitic, and absos
lutely wrong Tor colored members of
the Legislature to assemble in a col
ored caucus and there decide what
measures they will'support, ard what
measures they will not support. We
do not know how true 1T is, but we
have heard from reliable source, that
at a caucus OF colored members, held
at a certain boarding house in Jack
son, it vas resolved not to support
The resolution amending the Consti-
tuition giving us biennial sessions of
the Legislature. II this is the case,
it is a shame upon The fair record OF
the celorcd people Of this State. 1t
is absolutely wrong +; and we elm
cerely hope u colored members will
resolve to go into no nor colored
upon matters of general
legislation. When such ucuse are
held let them be general, and open
to all Republicans.
There is no use Disgusting the fact.
The Republican party is now at its
and the members of the Legis>
virtually hav, its fate in their
hands. If they will reduce taxation,
and give the people some relief, we
can go into The next cany IS with
flying colors, aud victory will again
be perched upon our banners I; but
{ we are to think of nobody but self,
We might as we'll fold our banners
and close our mouths. for defeat will
,ome just as sure as God reigns in
heaven. Too much time bias alrea dy
