mas now settled down all over the
country. With the elimination of our

ence with our property rights and
from freeman to serf is but a short

stand up for their rights, and thew
should not depend upon others to
stand up for them.
While the women are contendinp

ored men contend for the same thing.
Political pull" against US is accom-.
pllshing our ruin. We have never be-
heved that the Colored people should
eschew politics. This was the com.
mencement of our undoing and the
sooner we get back on the political
road again, the better.
Rights are controlled and curtailed
by, politics. This is the lever to be

tailed statement of the moneys drawn
from the treasury durin,- he preceding

ment' If the same be adopted, will be
TO repeal the section of the Constitu-
ton mentioned and insofar relieve the
treasurer from such publication and
the State from the expense thereof.
This change In the Constitution, how
ever, would not prevent the Legislature
from directing by law that such, or a
different publication. of the same or
other Information. should be made by
the treasurer.
