man, irrespective Of his color OF MS
connection in Life, owes to ms coun-
try, his race and his family 70 con-
i demn this reckless effort of the ne

peal to every white man within the

against this unjust and unGenerous
treatment Of our people, and espe,
cially do we beseeeh our brothers o.
the white race, who have heretofore
adhered to the Republican party, tc
sever their connection with the same
for the reason that in this hour OF ex
treme peril to our manhood, all mere
questions Of party pride or passion
should be forever SUNK IN tne grea'
issue for the preservation Of oul
morals, our social rights and our race

Iook back, sir, to the days OF m
"A l1oyhood, what throng Of pleasai
memories cluster around me-ha

and tenderest ties which bind me
this life and make me wish to liv
