representatives in Congress, but denied nd-
mission by Republican Secretary Of War,
because his father was q non resident of
South Carolina; maxwell what is tho use
to 60 farther? Do you think the Third South

Misrepresentation? Would Grand Rapids

| assure you upon the fraternity of n
Patron, all such trumpcd up charges as this
denial Of free speech to Republicans in tho
South arc so utterly false that they would
be laughable but for their falsity But no
argument of mine can change the opinion
Of any Northern man, whose 20 litical views
and pcrsuasions arc not in accord with
mine.
Great outragcs arc being pcrretra.cd
upon mon for political capital" perhaps SO,
but ir SO don't know it, About three weeks
ago Senator Bayarl. OF Delaware, attended
our State "a atifcaton meeting in Columbia
Democrats from all over tho State attended
the meeting, not only to cvinco our universal
and unanimous approval Of tho National
Democratic ticket, but to hear Mr.. Bayard, n
man whom our people delight to honor. In
the throng on that ocsasion the "rcd shirt"
cmblcmatic Of tho Republican bloody shirt
that Senator Morton used to love SO to naunt
in our faces, was quite conspicuous and was
worn by scores of Democratic negroes
That afternoon Republican mob attacked
one or two of thcso Democratic red shirtel
negroes, because .thcS rather b,ast! nllJ as

into power, | have not heard Of it.
But why write more? can convince M
one in Michigan. I will therefore close by
extending to you, and to as many Of tho
most rampant, anti-Southcrn Republicans as
will accompany you, an invitation to come
down amongst us. Come to my h use
and stay as long as you please look /.
learn and act for yourselves, and while
you remain here it shall not cost you
dime, and every possible opportunity will
be afforded you and them to gather all the
information you may desire TO carry back to
Michigan, TO lay before your friends, politically
or otherwise. This is delightful country to
live in, and we want more inhabitants. Lanls
are good, climate uncXceptionablc, water pure.
schools abundant, churches everywhere people
Bind and industrious, railroads running every
where, living cheap, and all else that is needed
TO make up good home; but We want labor.
Can't you send us down some Of your surplus
laborcrs? Scud me q family or two Of blatant
Republicans if they will work, {such men are
generally not indusrious) and will give them
employment long enough TO make them good
Democrats, or agree TO pay all expenses
