Ex-senator Brownlow does not always
give good advice, either to white or CO.
lored men. He too frequently substi-
tutes passion and prejudice for reflection
and calm Judgment. But on IL recent
occasion. since the passage of the Civil
Rights Bill. he presented to the coloreh
people of his own anil other sections
OF the country some excellent ad-
vice in relation to their behavior under
the new state Of affairs. He saws the
best thing the colored population can do
is to accept the situation in which these
laws place them, and to reverence and
obey all the laws of the land. carefully
avoiding everything calculated to array
the preJudioes of the whites against
them, q to bring about unpleasant rela-
ions'between the races." If the ex-Se-
nator will now rap sharply over the
knucklos that class of politicians who in
hame the passions anil prcjudices of
colorcd men for their own selfish pur-
poses, he will add to the strength of his
position in the estimation of good men
OF all parties. s.-PAiodelphia Times.
