The Contrast Rev. DR.. A. E. Dickinson

For the puspose of securing the aid o.
the Republican party of the North ,te
subserve his own selfish and ambitious
purposes, Gen. Malone, though Sena,
tor of the United States from Virginia,
instead Of defending her. a. he should
do, against unjust accusation, makes
himself the false accusation against her,
that she does not allow the negro to vote
freely. How does this conduct on the
part of Malone contrast with that Of
Rev. A. e. Dickinson, DID,, Of Rich
mond, va.,. . distinguished Baptist
minister, who testified to the truth in
the presence.of q Boston audience in
fremont Temple q few weeks since
We quote from the Boston Post as fol-
lows:-
"Rev. DR.. Dickinson, in his address
on 1.-THE truth about the South" stated
distinctly and without reservation, that
the colored man in his State IL - free
to vote AZ the white man. His precise
language was, ''in Virginia the col0red
man-is as free to vote a. am, or any Of
you are here in Boston," Was he fair
witness, and did he know whereof he
affirmed? He needed no certificate to
such effect, for no one In Virginia has
had better opportunity Of informing
himself about the actual condition Of
things In his native State than he. His
honest, and truthfulness no man will
rise to question"
