A Word to our Colored Friends.

The colored voters of this region who
read THE LANDMARK, and many do this,
know that we have never flattered them; nor,
on the other hand, have we ever attempted
to make use of them for selfish ends. This
paper may, therefore, assume that any ad-
dress it might make to them would be
received with reasonable confidence but
what they ought to do in this canvass has
been told them by another paper, from
which we shall presently make quotation.
The paper to which we refer is the New
York Herald, and it belongs to no party;
as it is independent on all questions; as it
speaks on public measures without reserve,
we think it's utterances ought to command
the respect Of all thoughtful men of color.
Holding this opinion, we quote from the
Herald, of the 18th, the following para
graphs
"The battle which Senator Sherman has
opened in Ohio, and which the Republican
leaders in Massachusetts, and other North
ern States are urging, is about the colored
people of the South, but it is not for them.
They are merely the pretext used to excite
partisan passions in tie North.
1t is cruel and dastardly game these
Republicans are playing; because the ap-
peals by which they hope to int1ame section
al prejudice here cannot fail also to arouse
ill feeling among the Southern whites and
to excite ignorant and violent men among
them to that very course toward the color.
ed people with which Messrs. Sherman and
Hoar charge them. Thus the colored man
is made the victim of these Northern dema-
gogues, who care nothing for him except SO
far as they can use him for their selfish
ends.
1t is the Southern colored voters duty to
himself, as it is most clearly to his interest,
to condemn and punish this Northern de-
magogism by voting with the Democrats in
Virginia this Fall, and in every Southern
State hereafter, until by this course he has
taught Northern Republicans that he will
not be used by them as a mere catspaw.-
A decent self-respect, proper care for theli
own welfare, will lead the Southern color
ed men to show their resentment and thelI
power to punish those who unscrupulously
seek to make them the hapless bone OF con
tention, sure to be crushed whichever side
shall win.
We advise the intelligent colored men Of
Virginia to vote solidly with the Democrats
in November, and when they have thus
helped to carry the State for that party tt
let it be understood by men like Senators
Sherman and Hoar, and Mr.. Blaine, ane
General Logan that this is the coloree
mans reply to the attempt of these North
ern demagogues to use and abuse him to-
their selfish ends"
To this we have only to add that thu
New York Herald has no sort of interest
one way or the other, in our election, out
side the questions of right end policy in
volved. 1t has nothing to gain and nothing
to lose, and the colored people of Virgins
may feel safe in listening to its advice
