South The climate Is more lenient,
the feeling of white people toward the
colored j. more kindly aud Christian
than with us. Knowing well the feel

section and in that, am persuaded
that that race will get justice dons

a merry Christmas thought IN
this consideration, resultant from my
recent observations, that thorough
Christian feeling Is 20 be established
between the black and white races
Within few years this scene occurred
in the state-hOuse ut Atlanta, Ga; a

a libation on the ALTAR of Christian
feeling between the white and blacl
races On the prospect Of a bette
feeling among all Nations ! Say
merry Chriatmas."
