could well select his candidates for every Office and
administer the duties Of Just many offices as fair
elections would give hint Yet other sort OF man
at so little risk OF exciting popular Indignation de-
prved Of his political privileges. 10 class OF citizens
In this country, any free country, could be the
subject Of such unprovoked and unpunIshed oppres
siOns.
There is one system better than this fusion, plan
and that the removal Of every political restraint
from the colorcd people, allowing them freely and
openly to exercise the nallenable rights Of American
citizenship in National State and local affairs The
Mississippi Convention-which by the way ha, but two
Republican members among lib DemOcTatic-wOad
take long step, and the only effective first step,
toward settling the negro question II they should de,
clare their intention OF abiding by their present
existing laws, and should realrm the covenant entered
into by their State condition OF its readmi sion
into the Union. II may be argued in opposition
to these sentiments that the result would be negro
supremacy. But it is only necessary TO reply that the
complete supremacy Of any one class has never re-
suited from fair and honest elections. IL al all, IL
could not be for long, and the negro is fifteen
older In knowledge of public matters than when no
last enioye fall recognit on as a citizen. The only
thing that has bound the coOred race together pO1t
cally has been, and is STILL the constant refusal Of
and retain. entire political freedom. This
Issue once being removed from southern politics the
rapid dstrlbuon-based upon other National and State
questons-of the negro voters among the existing
political parties can be the natural and the only re-
suit
The white men Of Mississippi have n great OPP
portuDty before them, and from their States present
position as one Of the least advanced in the south
In its attitude toward the negro, they can place IL
n0bly ahead of NIL Others. What will be done. how
ever, by convention composed entirely Of men born
and bred in prejudice against The cOlOred race can
only be imagined with sorrow and regret. With the
Republican members but two in number, or one
fifty seventh Of the wh7e convention, and without
single representative OF the unhappy which is
tho subject of the proposed LEGISLATION.
OF justice and American freedom can only wish he
might hope for that which almost certainly Will not
be done.
