and, among other things, said there

racy for the body, and religion for
tho soul. The white people of the
South had stuck to the colored peo-
plo ovcr since tho wal, and it was
tlmo for his race to begin to know
their friends, those friends upon
whom they wero dependent for a
living. He also warned them against
carpet-baggors and scallawags.
Alexander Hopkins called for vol~
untecrs to join him in assisting the
white people to maintain an honest
government III this commonwealth,
and reminded them that Domocra-
cy was the only honest government
III tho South. IIo said to them,
CHOW is the time for you to do a
good thing-tho gates are open and
you had botter come in before they
are forever shut to you" A. fow
