they become better educated, the more
deadly is their hatred to the ones from
whom they derive this benefit, and

the children ct those colorcd Demo-
Gratis who have so nobly stood bv
their party in it's darkest hours, and
by whose assistance we have been
enabled to defeat Radicalism and
maintain government which respects
the rights Of all, irrespective of race
or color, and under which we can all
live in peace and harmony.
