Another article captioned, "The
Negro and War With Mexico" is
an appeal to the negroes of the
United States to revolt against the
government at Washington. Among
other things it states that "the Amer
lean negroes, constituting the most
miserable and oppressed elements
of the American proletariat, have
racial relations as we'll as economic
ones, for immediate preparedness
not for further military service, but
to prevent it. They are not unaware
of this.
THE negro has had a sleeping
sickness of many centuries, induced
first by the vitiating tendencies of
chattel slavery, but made even worse
under the wage slavery thai followed
emancipation. The negro is not
sleeping. He will fight no more wars
for his tormentors and tyrants."
