Mississippi Democrat. (Hazlehurst, Miss.) 1875-1???, 1875-08-18

nee Seekers oi this County are Try
ing TO make the colored people DO
l'eve that II the Democrats get into
power they will put the eolorcd
people back into slavery agaln. We
are surprised 10 think that any sane
man would he guilty of trying TO
teach such sen>ele~s stuff, for any
colored man that claims 10 pss.ess
common sense j. bound 81 know
thu, such thing could not be done.
The freedom Of the colored people
= guaranteed by The Constitution Of
,hc United States, and their rights
cannot he Impaired by the respective
State. The Democrats hare 40 ID

such trash, know very 80 that such
q thing would b an atkg imgossi-
~, and they kpew alse tkai thsy tell
the oolorcd people such ssuff TO
brighten them, in order To get their
votes. sensible eolored people do
believe these foolish tales and these
white Republicans should cease to
perpetrate such nonsense, for the
colored people have morn sense than
their white allies are willing 10 give
them credit for.
The Democrats di-claim any in
ten,icn, right or desire 10 put the
cclored people back ipto slavery.
The Democrats have eontroi in Ken
tacky, Virginia, West Virginia, Mary.
land, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkan.
sas, Florida and Texas, the Repaid
licans have control IN North Caro-.
liza, Mississippi and Louisiana. Thus
u viii be seen that tho Republicans
have control Of only three of the
former slave holding States, while
the Democrats have control " elvv.
en- Of the former slave holding
states, and they have control also OF
the Lower House Of the United
States Congress. and In addition 10
this array of power, the Democrats
have control in several Ut the
Northern States, ana yet the Demo.
Gratis have never tried On enslave the
colored pcople, and never will; for
Il never can b. done. And when the
Democrats get control Of Mississippi,
which they will do q, the next elee.
ton, the colored people viii be
amazingly surprised al the numer.
Gus falsehoods that have been perpe-
tHted by some Of the Republicans,
who have endeavored to operate on
their credul',y, in trying TO Brighten

ent States ~ the Union gives no evil
dcnce OF such a movement, and We
are happy 20 say that future sue
ccs-es never win. The colorcd peo-
pie win always have the sane rights
TO vote and hold Office, regariles- oi
the party in power. They win en-
Joy all the rights Of American ati-
zens, and those who are tryiag to
teach the colcred people 10 the con-
trary, know very well That they are
Illuminating false doctrine for par
tisan and selfish purposes.
