for the advancement of their per-
sonal fortunes; to directly, and
through their INSCRIPTIONS subordi-
mates, by bribery, threats and vio-
lence, debauch and corrupt as far as
practicable, and to a lamentable
extent, the individual voter and
many of the colored leaders.
These men, knowing that ignoran-
CO and servility among the voters
were necessary to their continued
possession of Office, have industri-
ously and persistently slandered,
prescribed and excluded from official
position and popular confidence all
intelligent, independent colored
leaders. because such leaders could
not be subsidized to their selfish
ends. To still further strengthen
themselves III the positions which
they have SO frequently dishonored
and betrayed, they have with equal
p]ersistency excluded from the coun-
ellis in the State all resident white
citizens of Republican sympathies
and convictions. Growing their in
fanny and treacllery by trading up
on the prejudices that unfortunately
existed between the white and colo
red people; t%heaching the colored
voter that no Southern white man
could be trusted, and embittering
the resident white population
against our people by falsely and
industriously charging upon their
i~nexperience the bad government
that sprang really from their own
evil hearts and practices. You be-
bold these men, trusted and made
by us, first negiecting Il interests
that they may more certainly and
seltishly advance their own, then
dividing us among ourselves, mean
while breeding strife and contention
between the two races to such IN
extent as not only to create turbnl-
ence and incite violcnce-by which
we alone are the sutferers-but so
tar rs to have us stand for years
continuously in the terrible presen-
&C of Il war of races..-.-.--

duet Of Gov. Nichols. | am here to

conscientious gentleman, but one
who will administer the laws i'm
