County Commissioners.
No more responsible Office exists in
the administra ion of county affairs
than that of County Commissioner,

| YOU consider tee advisability OF max

cure men of the highest integrity and
ability of your counties in this posi-
ton.

I recommend a resolution memorial
ling the Congress of the United
States to purchase territory, either
domestic or foreign, and provide
means TO purchase the property OF the

United States to organize a govern
ment for them Of the negro race; tc
protect them from foreign invasion;
to prevent white people from living
among them on the territory, and Il
, prevent negroes from migrating bach
! to the United States. believe this
, to be the only hope Of a solution o
the race problem. More especially
do make this recommendation for tn
good of the white race; 10 keep swee
the lives Of the white people; to keel
Z their conscience keen and clean
