COLORED MEN, PLEASE READ THIS.

ment (meaning the Confederate) is founded
upon exactly the opposite ideas. Its founda-
tions are now laid, its cornerstone rests, upon
the great truth that the negro is not equal to
the white man; that slavery, subordination
to the superior race, is his natural and nor
NAL condition. and see its workings. DO
YOU not see that the colOred men and white
Republicans can not hold public meetings IN
sevral Of the Southern States by being in
interfered with by the Red Shirt organiza-
tions by Wade Hampton and other leaders of
the Democratic party of the South! 1t Is
not safe for any colored man in those States
to own that he is Republican. Now, there
fore, how can any Republican vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, especially colored Republican,
who knows the very right to vote was given
him through the amendment made by the
Republican partyl Are you blind to the fact
that the State of California did actually re-
refuse to pass the amendment TO the Consti-
tuition after every other one had done so ex-
cept one, and a Democratic Governor of the
State of California did actually refuse to pro-
claim that the Legislature had ratified the
amendment to the Constitution Now, to
the Republican party: In 1854 and 1885 the
Chinaman was placed at the right of the pro-
cession on the Fourth of July in the city and
county of San Francisco, and the only Duke
ing the Grafton, introduced two Cinnamon on
the stand, and said it was one of the happiest
moments of his life to have the pleasure of
introducing two brethren from the Oriental
Kingdom. Placing his hands on their heads,
he said: "In the name of the President of
these United States and the citizens thereof
[ welcome these people to our shOres-they
will make the Sierra mountains bloom and
blossom as the gardens of Lebanon; they will
make our tule and overtlowed lands bloom as
the lily in the Garden of Paradise. Now,
how can they charge the Republican
party with introducing Chinese labor on
the Pacific Coast when there was no Repub-
lcan party III exist 3nce at that time; or how
can they cry to the worklngmen that the
Republican party is the friend of the China
man, as they themselves introduced them

To the colored citizens of the State of
Nevada If you desire to 90 back into slavery,
as many as choose to do SO stop and read the
decision of the Supreme Court Of the State
of Virginia, which decided few days ago
that the law Of 1888 was valid and sacred in
that State. This decision was rendered where
colored men had gone into other States and
married white women, and on their return to
Virginia their marriage was null and void.
They, the learned judges, seem to have for
got that Dick johnson Vice President
under Jackson, and if General Jackson had
died he would have been President of these
United States, and that Mrs. Johnson,
negress, would have been mistress of the
White House. Now, as many of you
choose to return to the yoke of bondage, do
so in the name of God.
Colored citizens, in a few days you will be
called upon to have voice whether nine
thousand of African descent shall go into
slavery or be free men. Remember sixty
three innocent babes, and intirm men and wo-
men were burned to death in New York city
