negro rule, before the 23d Of April last,


when The Wing ventured upon the folly OF
denouncing prescription against those
voters of the state who should not Join in
its crusade against the colored people, in
the following threatening language I:


"Let the lines be edrawn and the roll be
called, that we may see whether it be true,
as is charged by the adversary, that treason
has left our ranks deserted. In this con-
test there can be no halfway house no
neutrals. 1t is not Grant or Greeley,
funder or anti-funder, high or low interest,
this or that railroad it is Virginia against
her enemies, The aohites contending for The
supremacy OF their race, and he aoho no,o
propes recreant to his state, his honor, his
kindred and his color, and enters the camp
ofMe enemy should be made to understand
that he has left all Hope behind him."


And the entire Conservative press
of the state re-cchoed the unworthy appeal
and threat.


1t was then, while these papers were in
full cry against the negro, that my speech
was made in Lynchburg. Throughout,
from beginning to end, it was an appeal
TO the n,agnannnity of the achite people of
Vuginia against crusade SO unworthy, so
pernicious, so brutal, and so unmanly.


1t is one of the mednmess of the
canvass to misrepresent its object or to
pervert its meaning. Nor can the people
be deceived on this point, for the speech is
enquired for, and is read and
everywhere by political friend
and foe. 1t was the Conservatives who
raised this worse and meaner than Know
Nothing issue; and they must accept the |
of their own blunder and
atrocious intolerance.

They must flank it, by eccording to them as
