Just as hungry man finds pensive relief in tho

denied the privilege of even documentary
education, and trained during two centuries
to be dependent, timid. and as lndif-
ferent to all public interests as to the
politics of the Pitcairn Islanders. When
emancipation came, the Southern whites might
have retained a great deal of infiuenc over
the freedmen if they had frankly recognized
the inevitable ,hange, and aided these poor
people to fit themselves for new Responsible
ties. But they preferred to sulk In PROUD
poverty; and the colOred voter was almost
driven into the arms of the carpet-bagger.
The white man now energies again INTO
public life. Having seen his mistake, he
comes back to correct it with shotgun. lie

increases the representation of the southern
States. but not so far as il increases the con-

if they are not allowed to exert the poiitlcai
mower to which their numbers entitle them
then those who refuse them tins power
should not themselves exercise it,. Wheh

slave is ignorant, he asks to be permitted I'd
