Of American citisens the Republican party
has pledged itself TO secure to that race
the full benefits Of the constitution. How
60 do this does not seem to be a problem Of
very easy solution. The late negro mas.
ters own the soil. The negroes, to enjoy
the benefits Of liberty, need to become land
holders. They now lie at the mercy OF
their former masters for daily bread Their
civil rights never can be secured TO them
while they remain in this condition. They
will be tormented BY bnll-dozers" and
government will need standing army to

there not public landa sufficient for this
purpose? II the South will not favor
such plan let the negro omigrate to some
favorable point designated by government
where all the blessings OF liberty can be
secured both to them and their posterity.
Surely the negro race ought not to be per.
petual bone of contention. The republic
has already suffered enough. n the gov.
ernment should make them donation ol

DO far cheaper aud better than these bar
baric outrages between the races.
