Intelligent, law abiding colored men OF oouth
Caroliua aud Louisiana exchange their govern
ment and rulers for such as those 10 virginia
and other States named. "
II these be facts, and no one can trutnluiy
deny them, why the oficious zeal and eoergy
now employed by Mcssrs. Morton, Chandler
and Dix 10 our behalf? We neither ask or
desire such protection as they are now propos
iug to extend US, and to the more lntelllsent
colored people the question is constantly put,
why all this zeal 10 behalf of our rights Just oe
fore every Presidential election. This concl
dence is very striking and suggestive.
| might poiot to evidence In abundance to
refute the idea that the radicals or republicans
10 our midst are really our special friends. Ger
taiuy in seeking to excite the race preJudlces
they are not wise or discreet friends; but must
be pardoned if mistrust the unselhsh interest
professcd for our race by those who manifest IL
alone about election times, wheu they are aspl,
rants for some position of honor or emoIument.
We're it not for the fear of extending this
communication beyond all reasonable limits l
would cite in eXtenso the operations OF the
Freedman Bank proiess"dIy established IN
the Interests and for the bedeht of our race IL
was actually but an instrument by when we
could be the more etfcctually robbed aud pun,
dered of our hard earnings. The report OF the
Hon. B. &. Douglass, of this State, 10 the last
Congress, 10 relation TO the Frecdman's Bank,
If it could be read 10y every colored man 10 the
land, woulj excite an indignation against The
party that permitted this wholesale theft OF the
tens of Thousands of dollars that the poor freed
meu had deposited with view TO the pur-
chase Of homes that no language OF mlne can
depict. But | must here close, trusting that
the Great Master, who over rules everything
to his own honor and glory, may make plain
to Us the pathway of duty.

OPERA HoUsR.-There was slim
audience at the Opera House last night,
to witness the Mckee Rankin Combina-
ton. We are unable to understand the
people of Wheeling. They patroDize
sneiie entertainments, yet when first.
class troupe comes here they do not
turn out. The Mexico Rankin company
is one OF the best, il not the best, ORA.
matte troupe that has ever visited our
city. The gentlemen and ladies con-
nected with the company are not only
artists in their profession. but thorough
ladies and gentlemen of the stage.
The performance last night was the best
Of the weeks entertainment. Sweet
hearts and"Who killed Cock Robin, pro
duced, in which. Messrs. Rankin, Arnold,
Percy, and Misses Blanchard, Kunkle
and Radcliffe appeared to advantage as
usual. 1t is absurd 70 paint the lilies,
therefore unnecessary for Us to say
anything about those who took part in
the performance. The Rankin combi-
nation will make their last appearance
in this city this afternoon; when
"Sweethearts' and "Wbo killed Cock
Robin" will be produced at the matinee
by the Mckee Rankin Combination.
Those DESTROYS OF seeing good acting
should attend.

To witness Mr. Mayo's performance of
