The Great Leader Of his Race, Frederick
douglass, Comes Out for the McCulloch
= Rill.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. 10, 1879.
Colonel James D. Bradley and J. H. Van,
Auken, Esq.
Gentlemen:-I have received the petition
presented by you this morning, numerously
signed by the colored citizens OF Petersburg
favorable to the ratification, at the election
to be held in November next, Of the recent
act OF the General Assembly of Virginia
known as the McCulloch bill, extending to
me most cordial Invitation to visit that city
and address them on their duty In the pres
ent crisis.
exceedingly regret my inability to ac-
cept the invitation, for it would give me
great pleasure to address the people of Pc
tersburg in favor of the payment Of the just
debts and obligations Of the State, and
against readjustment, or reputation, but I
have other engagements, and cannot posi-
bly, accept.
am against Reputation in every form,
and most earnestly advise my people not to
give support, countenance. or encourage
ment to Readjusters or Regulators.
The public schools Of the State, upon
which our people are SO much dependent,
are only safe and can only prosper under
those citizens who favor the payment of
every dollar Of Virginia's just debt.
The history, tie policy, and the principles
Of the Republican party are opposed to re-
pudiation. The repudiation or readjustment
Of just debts aud obligations by the Demo
Gratis OF the South is looked upon with In
dignation and horror by the Republican
party of the country, and merits and re-
ceives the severest condemnation from all
parties at the North.
The plea made by demogogues ssthat you
-colored people-were slaves at the time
the debt of Virginia was contracted, and had
nothing to do with it, and therefore should
not be called upon to burden yourself and
your children, for generations to come, with
the payment thereof" is not only specious
but dangerous one. By parity Of reason
ing it may be argued that you had nothing
to do with obtaining your freedom; therefore
you should rot enjoy its blessings.
The agitation of this question. aft or its GET
Element by the General Assembly of the
State with the creditors, is, in my judgment,
extremely injurious to every material inter-
est of all her people, and has tendency to
prevent immigration and the introduction Of
capital within her borders.
In view of the fact that the Convention,
composed almost exclusively OF Republicans,
which framed the Constitution of the State,
recognized the validity Of the present debt
Of Virginia, it strikes me that no Republican
can consistently ally himself with the pres
ent agitators or vote for Readjusters or Re-
pudiators. Very truly yours,
[Signedl FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

IL It q kpOOk?

Last night great crowd of excited
people congregated in front OF two
houses on Sixth street between Spruce
and Church, anxiously endeavoring to
get sight OF something, which, by its
strange actions, had filed the minds of
the timid with apprehension of things
supernatural.
From calm individual whose educa-
tion upon the peculiar manifestations
of spoeks has been sadly neglected de.
clares the thing an unmitigated hum.
bug and nuisance. The excitement ris
IS from a particular partiality upon the
part of some masculine individual for
the yards of the residences No. 709 and
I'll East Sixth, occupied by Messrs
William R. Bevan and Elwood Coyle.
In these yards he promenadps some
times coming twice in one week and in
other weeks some four or five times.
The individual has sidewhiskers and
from other descriptions given of him
is rather a too tangible subject for a
frst-class spook.
His Temperance is anxiously look
ed for, and reception in accordance
with the state of the feeling of the COM
mittee, composed of six or eight of the
brawniest men in the neghborhood will
be given him. We suppose that the
individual consideration for his health
will keep him away from the locality
for the summer.
