OF the acrimony enkendered and

arising out of these amendments in the
same broad spirit with which II ha.
always dealt with all great questions
and has interpreted them with view
to making effective the will and inten-

to embody them as a part OF our funda-

and the rights of your people under

Of the entire Constitution with its ef-

rather consider the questions which af-
feet the progress and happiness Of our
colored people as citizens under the

you my views as to what has most
