Why tne necessity TO form In the south

men nnlyr Why should white men, who
are republicans from principle, many ct
whom have been Union soldiers in the war
between the states; these MEN who risSed
their lives and all that was dear TO them 10
the cad, that the union OF the statfs b. pre-
served, as q consequences and result Of
which the colored people were released
from bondage, men, many OF whom have
stood with tho republican forces In the

In the pas, affiliated With aud met with the
colored men 10 conventions OF republican,
why should they now Withdraw from the
colored element Of the party and refuse TO
recognizes them as entitled 70 control the
party? We answer that for ali this labor
expended. Ii is true, that some degree OF
Intelligence has been attained by some oi
tho cotored race, yet, as class and people,
they do not appreciate what has been
done for them, but are determined that
numbers, not intelliseEcr, shall control,
and that the color or race line has aud shall
be drawn, and claiming that the colored
element cas-, three-iourths of the republic
can vote OF the south, therefore they should
control. II the colored men had in the
pest proven Themselves reliable M republi-
Can voters. Ii they, in counties and dis
tricts where they outnumber the whites
two or three to one, would elect republi.
cans to Officer IL they had ever refused 10
be bought and sold in the political market,
and been firm and consistent, then the
white republicans would chseriuiy accord
to them the right 10 manage ths party
Ard elect men of their own color
TO office. and the necessity for
division of the republican party would not
have occurred. Bus now, alter nearly

convinced that utilization with the colored
voter IL detrimeris! to the interests OF re-
publicans, both white snd colored. The
co!ored voter has ever been used in the
south BY Federal officeholders 10 bolster
themselves in the offices in the gift of the
and to create factions in
the party TO the end that the party
might not increase in numbers and
power, but con.inus jlst large enough
might fill the offices in the power Of repub-
lican government ADMINISTRATIONS o confer.
And now when the colored man has learned
40 welt the theory f"what are wo here for
1t not for the ot1ices," and no hjgh,r sen.i-
mept or principle can prevail than the
loavss and fishes OF office, the time to
purify has come. When any party has no
higher aim than Office, no broader patrtos-
lem than to draw tbeir living from the pub
