Memphis among the colored people
for the formation of a Hancock and
English club for work in the present
canvass The morning papers, on
Sunday, published a list Of names, sew

we noticed many of the most re-
spectacle and influential of our
colorcd citizens, as the nu-
cleus Of this organization. This
means a great deal. 1t means that the
coiored people are really becoming
free citizens, and are no longer willing
to wear the collar ofpolitieal slavery,
any more than that Of personal servi-
tudc. Up to within the last twelve
months, the colored race have been
driven to the polls by the republican
federal ring in this section, and made
to vote as desired, Ia loeal, state and
national elections. But they have re-

they intend to do the same in Novem-
Der, for they know what Gen. Butler
