You may uphold stone, but remove

And for this physiological fact ncith-

patent and indisputable.
The white man therefore, being
the favorite Of fortune or fate is the
negroes superior and naturally
he will assert his superiority. And
his simple following Of this most nat

And this is what keeps the South

We are the friends of the coloreG
man, and we propose to act as his
friend, although perhaps there may
be times when he may put another
construction upon u actions.
We know that he has equal rights
before the law, with the white man,
and We want to see that he is pro-
tected IN the exercise Of his rights.
We are not willing that he shall be
imposed upon. But there is one
thing he can never do in this land,
and that IL to rule the white man.
The country Is ours, by right Of dis
