All such Democrats take the position

more blacks would vote with the whites
than can ever be secured by appealing
to their interest aud patriotism. The

away the rock, and truth continually

The day is not far distant when the ne-

other can prosper. II the white man is
made to suffer I'm his fortune and his
business by oppressive laws, the blsck

race; the black holds the labor, II the
one and the other are not properly pro-
tected by law, the result is suffering and
distress. The more intelligent Of the

This is e favorable omen. 1t shows
that the time will inevitably come
when the antsgouism between the two
races will have given place to that
friendship which should subsist between
q people whose interests are identical.
Eight years ago, pending the Presiden-
tiaI election, the Democratic negroes
were kicked by their own race in Mem
phis like so many friendless dogs. But
the fact that a cOlored man can now
vote the Democratic ticket without
hazsrding his life shows that prejudice
and passion are giving place to reason
and liberation. At the risk OF offending

mond, Virginia. They should be en-
couraged in the southern States,
not that the cOloTed vote is wanting
to carry the southern States for the Dem
ocrsts, but for the purpose of showing
to the world that the two races gre be-
coming harmonious, and that our people
are for impartial, equal snd exact JUS
tice, without regard TO nativity, race or
color. Ia closing this article we would
call the attention Of the colored people
to the following extract from Governor
Tilden's first message to the New York
Legislature: "The adoption of the thir-
tenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the Federal constitution closed
one great era in our politics. II marked
the end forever OF the system Of human
slavery, and Of the struggles thst grew
out Of that system. These amendments
have besn conclusively adopted, and
they have been accepted in good faith
by slI political organizations, and the
people o: all sections. They close The
chapter; they are and must be final; all
parties heresfter must accept and stand
upon them; and henceforth cur politics
are to turn upon questions Of the pres
ent and the future, and not upon those
of the settled and final pest. The no.
bier motives Of humanity concur with
our interests in making us hail, with
heartfelt congratulations, 2 real and du.
rable peace between populations unnat-
uraIly estranged. The time is ripe TO
discard ali memories Of buried strifes,
except as s. warning against their re-
newsI, and to join sa together TO build
anew the solid foundations Of American |
self-government.n
