VOTE FOR THE
HON. THOMAS. NJ. FARRELL
FOR CONGRESS,
FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, \. ].

| ~'SN OSAoCs 10 oguOllg IlOuS WIFI every
species of corruption on record of
political crimes; it has grown to be the
most odiouS, the most tyranical, the
most unScrupulouS combination of the
| times, and only eXcelS Malone, in Vir
ginia, by reason of long continuance.
which has enabled it to ralnifv every
department of the public service.
The people of the First Congress
sional District show in their counte-
nanceS that they are oppressed, and
they are making manly and her ic
effort to regain their freedom by the
effort to elect the Hon. Thomas Farrell,
of Glassboro, to the seat disgraced by
Robson, the present representative.
Mr.. Farrell is self-made man Of
unqueStionable character and in whom
the people can place confidence.
The thoughtful, intelligent and con-
Siderate col0red voter who has been
electing this man Robson to office and
receiving no benefits, are making a
heroic effort to regain their political
freedom, and in this effort they have
the sympathy of the most intelligent
citizens of the First Congressional
District of New Jersey, and henceforth
the intelligent and thoughtful .cclored
citizen will cast his vote for the man
who is the poor mans friend.
You are debarred 10y these men and
their followers from all the workshops
and places of industry in the district.
You have made no progress in
learning trades and accumulating
/ wealth.
Promises and expectations have
ceased to be virtue, and it behooves
every colored man to provide ways and
means for a better outlook for his
children.
Has Mr.. Robson ever appealed to
the hundreds of places of industry for
the employment of colored youths?
Have you not been debarred from all
the important Committees and counsels
of the party, whom Mr.. RobesOn repre-
SentS?
Is there colored man holding
respectable position, and are the pros
poets any better 10y continuing man
in office whom the entire nation and
every newspaper of any prominence
declared one of the most corrupt men
of our times; and does not this charge
come from his own associates?
Can colored man who has all to
gain by being represented by an honest
man in Congress, vote for Robeson?
Sumner, Stevens, Garrison, Brown,
Phillips would never have counte-
nanced the rascality Of Robeson and
his associates, who countenanced the
existence of slavery.
Colored men oweto the future pros
pcrity of their children to break away
from this humiliating and degrading
slavery, declare their independence
and vote for Hon. Thomas Farrell.
who is known over the entire Congress
Sional District, and respected for his
honesty, piety and devotion to the inter
eStS of the working class of people.
In such a mans keeping all your
rights, comfort and future prosperity
are safe. If Mr.. Robson and his
party had been sincere in their pre-
tended devotion to the colored man,
they could have greatly improved his
condition in the First District, but now
they have used the colored voter for all
he is worth and will continue to so
treat him until you make determined
stand and send to Congress a man who
will creditably represent his constitu-
ency.
Vote for Hon. Thomas Farrell, the
Llaboripg mans friend.
We are, yoursin sincerity,

The above is the circular of
the Independents. Let the American
people read for themselves and
decide for themselves. If this is not
ingratitude what is it? The predic-
tion of DR.. Tanner to the Independents
has come to light. Let the colored race
beware. 1t is a maxim and true
one "whom the gods would destroy
