It is tiM Q of serious contemplation
q time when each colOred citizen should
be aroused to sense Of duty, to stand
by and in defense of the Constitution of
the United States. that declares every
man free and equal, and further pro-
vides that the rights of no citizen should
be abridged except for felony or other
crimes. The Constitution further pro-
yides that every man should be free to
vote according to the Dictates of his
own opinion and, therefore, he should
have all the rights which Charles Sum-
ner, the great statesman, contended for
and defended to the time of his death.
The colored people of the South have
been deprived Of these rights, which
were justly theirs, by Intimidation and
ballot. box stufiing and q great many
other things. The new departure In the
State of Virginia, led by the Hon. Mr..
Malone, should encourage the c0lored
people Of Virginia to support the Read
juster party above all other parties. The
question may arise at this time why we
should support that party. First, the
Readjuster party has q glorious princi-
pie. founded upon free and untram-
meled ballot. Second, fair and impair
tial count. Third, paying of the State
debt. Fourth, abolishing the capita
ton tax. Fifth. dispensing with the
whipping-post and substituting in its
place free schools. and guaranteeing to
its most humble citizen equality before
the law. The time has now arrived when
the colored man should cast his vote in
support Of the party that will be to the
greatest interest to the party or parties
concerned, and then they will be doing
only as the white man does. The Re-
adjuster party will be of more interest,
of more worth, of more service to the
colOred voters of Virginia than any 9TH
or party. Therefore, irrespective of
party, or political clamor, the colored
men of the State should put forward
and bring to bear any Independent prin-
ciple to support that class of men that
is of the most advantage to the people.
When the celored people come to this
decision, which will certainly be neces-
sary for the upbuilding of the race, and
not until then, will they be recognized
as . people. As the Readjusters have
left Bourbon Rule in the background
there is every reason why the colored
people of the State should support them
at the coming election.
At q Convention of colored citizens
held in the District of Columbia, April
the 9Th, which Convention we were del.
egates to, representing the Lincoln AS
ISOLATION, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, The fundamental princi-
