A SKASIHLL ADDRESS.
At a grand dednwistraf ion
of the Democratic Conserva
tive party, at Sardis, Miss.,
tin the 30th ultimo, Thomas
E, ‘Vonngei:, a prominent col
ortld speaker, who hod done
effective work for the Dom
ocfatfc-Cbnscr va t.i vc3in Lou
isiana, was introduced, and
delivered the following able
address which shonltv. be
placed in the hands of every
colored inhti In <ho comity t
Feixow ciTizEXs-—I am
happy to have this import un
ity of Speaking to so many
of y<ni to-night. Before com
mencing my remarks, how
ever, l ask you to hcas silent
as possible, for I did not come
to receive your cheers, hut to
talk to the people and to con
verse with the colored peo
ple particularly, and try and
devise some means by which
t lie whites and blacks can tin
derstand each other,and thus
obtain a peaceful solution of
their difficulties. On my ar
rival here, I heard remarks
made, “There goes the Dem
ocratic speaker. He was
hired by the Democrats to
come South and make speech
os.in their interest. He does
not- know anything about
affairs in 'Mississippi.” That
statement is false. I am not
ii Democrat. I am aeonser
vafive Republican. Listen
ami see what I know. I wish
however, 'lie white men of
the North, w*«n claim there
is no friendship between the
two races South, could be
here to-night and see for
themselves the \Vhito man
and the black man join bands
with one object; to obtain an
honest administration of their
affairs. Does tire black man
owe a lasting debt ot .grati
tilde to ‘he Republican par
tv? If so, are the men in the
South, claiming andacknow 1
edging to be Republicans,
carrying out fhc principles;
of tiie Republican party? 1
claim that they arc not.—
First, the so called Republi
can party have shown an ut
ter disregard of their own
platform of principles, and
the constitution being the
highest law of the land, to
ignore it and call on the black
man ot the South, to stand
by them to the bitter end in
their pernicious course,brings
flic white and the black man
in the South in direct con
flict with each other. What
then will he the result of a
continuation of such rule?
'The white men of the South,
who comprise the propetty
lioldcr, capitalist, and in
short., lias all the controlling
power necessary to advance
the interests of a race or peo
ple, seeing that the colored
man will continue 10 support
such a class of power, and
that there f5 iio hope for jus
tice from the general govern -
men*;, and seeing their homes
prostrated, become enraged
at the colored men for their
doing so. And the reason is
that on the approach of an
election when these inatters
are being discussed, the white
man, goaded to madness bv
tho knuwledgeof bis wrongs,
and the innoconteoloreduian
of the South, who thinks lie
is performing a religions du
ty, becomes boated with pas
sion, angry words follow, and
the result is open violence.
What js the true condition
of Mississippi as regards good
government and dianest ad
ministration .of her affairs,
and ber prosperity! The cred
it of the State is growing less;
that is tbe people of the coun
try arp having Ipas confidence
in the ability or willingness
of the .State to pay any debts

is a falsqhosd^ This war tvaa J
brought ibouFot* - earned on
by !In? people of the ?<ortii j
for the purpose of the pro- j
Rervatitm of the Union, the/
question of slavery cutting
no figure at all in the matter.
It is true that there were dis
missions in the Senate of the'
United States as to whether j
or not slave territory should I
be enlarged. But tins war,
was not inaugurated for the
purpose of freeing the negro.
Mr, Lincoln, in his proelam- j
at ion of X>-eember, 1863, |
said, “that any provision that j
may be adopted bv such State
government’-ryferring to the!
State government, to be ere'e I
ted in the Southern States j
under his proclamation—“in j
relation to the free people of i
such State, which shall re-1
I cognize and declare their per
manent freedom, provide for
their education, and which;
irtay yet be consistent with !
their present go ml it ion as a 1
labor ing, landless and home-j
less class, will not he objec
ted to 1\v the nation id execu
tive.” Benjamin F. Butler
wrote a letter to Gov. Hicks,
of Maryland, intimating that |
under no circumstances sho'd i
the divine institution of sla-1
very be interterred with.— j
Gen. George B. McClelland!
wrote a letter, while general
and in command of his ar
my, to the people of Western
Virginia, telling them that
it was not the intention of
this government to Interfere
with the slave propcity of
those men who were loyal to
this nation, hut that the)
were waning,on the enemies
of the government, and that
rhe slaves of those men who
were loyal to the govern
lnen should not be disturbed,
and any attempt at insurrec
tion on their part should he
hushed with an iron hand.
Does that look like the war
being inaugurated for the
sole purposes of freedom to
the blacks? Well, suppose
now that we admit, for ar
gument’s sake, that it was in
augurated with the view of
freeing the blacks, were there
not as many Democrats and
old-line Whigs, officers and
soldiers, in the Northern ar
il}}' ns there were Republi
cans? It is not my wish tp
discuss tl}is matter, for it has
been harped upon too much
now; but as these gentlemen
who lead the opposition are
skillful, and as a skillfulgeu
eral arranges his own mode
and plan of offense and de
fense—why, his antagonists
have to acpept it, if they can’t
entice him away from it.—
Now what are the induce
ments offered to the black
man of tho South bv the na
tive white citizens! Georgia
Ss under Democratic rule,
jpid.has been for some time,
yet the so-called Republic ins
yay the nogroes there stanjl
po chance, and a re in a worse
condition than that of slave
ry. Is it .gift No! From the
report made t>y a prominent
iiadieal, the total colored
vofe of Georgia is S.%100;
they own $(>,157,758 worth
of. taxable property; of ag
ricultural land,, $338,7139;
city and town property, $lf
210,000; taxes owed by them
is $30,788, of which three
fourths afe collected. This
shows that the colored, mar.
can thrive under Democrat
ic rule in the South; that he
more do we want than tins!

overwhelming hot he evidence

the so cafled* courts of justice

whenever vou have colored
v

positions as you may choose
to demand for them. That’s
their tiffer. Jiow, the so call
ed Republican leaders of
! Mississippi offer as a reason
why tlie black man should
not accept the (Her, the
“black code of ’66.” Well,
the “black eodeof ’(JO;1? which
1 admit contains niany very
0 \ject ion able features, com
pares inorb than favorably
with thcifigislation5 of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Nebraska and Nevada. This
assertion is rather a hold one
but I will endeavor to prove
wlmt. I have asserted. I am
unable to give or quote the
objectionable features of the
“black code,” as I have not
the code with me. Hut tho’
1 was reading it this atteV
noon, as my memory is some
what treacherous I will not
attempt to quoto it, for I am
[desirous of nothing but what
is fair, and 1 will not make
mis rep respirations if I know
it. While I was in Wiscon
sin, a prominent -white Radi
cal sent for me and •wid:
“Young man, I want to give
you a piece of advice.” lie
then told me we hud to get
rid of the men in the South
or else we would have to kill
them; that the polorpd men
ought to rise up,
arms assassinate everyone of
the Democrats down Simth,
etc. I ?pid to him; “Come
down South and try that; we
will look at you.”, [Laugh
tor and/Ci ies of ‘yes, we will’
by the colored men.] Mr. W.
X. Cole, editor of the Repub
lican Signer, and a dear, dar
ling friend of the negro now,
was one of the originators of
the eodo. So they have earn
iqff ted a great* error in offer
ing as an objection the black
eodo. Now, as regards riots
in the. South there has been
a great deal of wrong perpe
tilted. I know that many
colored men have been shot,
but when we come to inquire
into the circumstances of
these riots we can’t always
get at the truth. Understand
me plainly. I Aonot indorse
bloodshed from any quarter.
I want to call your attention
to tl|e Vicksburg riots of last

some huge story, every color-1
ed man who conscientiously
feels that he can’t supportcer
tahi men for ofiice, when he
kiptws that they are incapa
ble of being trusted. Again,!
make this charge: That the
general government is the
champion lntimidator of the
copnM-y. No matterhow hon
est a man may be; no matter
how well educated ind entire
ly competent to fill a posit»Oh
he cannot get it if it is to he
filled by appointment of the
national executive, unless his
letter of recommendation
paints in glowing colors his
extreme loyalty iohis adtVriii
v -
istration. If he should be so
fortunate as to secure an ap
pointment., and he dares to
refuse his support to the Re
publican party,his royal high
ness, Ulysses 8. Grant,is noti
fied immediately, and that
man has either to losemis po
sition of lie most fearfully to
retain it. You have eandi 1
at.es to elect and men to select.
Secure those who are recom
mended by qualification and
honesty for the position.—
Here arc A. If. Howe and S.
1 W. Wells for congress from
the second district. Then
there is Orange Bruntforthe
legislature. They may he nice
gentlemen, bu\ this does not
make them tit legislators. To
make legislators men must
know law and the rules of
human action, and be able to
frame such so as to represent
their entire constituency. It
they be not honest,and do not
possess such qualifications,
they must he consigned to ob
scurity. Then there isanoth
er s<>ea 1 led repuhi ican (H o w e)
for sheriff. Poor fellow! there
are a great many charges a
gainst him. It is his duty to
get out of these scrapes before
applying lor any position.—
Then there is Ozanc, the
Trench gentleman, who has
been sheriff for a long while.
Now I ask yon, colored men,
liovv many colored deputies
has Mr Ozane employed since
ho has been in office? [Cries
of ‘None! none! none!’ sv the
•
colored men.] If you colored
men supported him— and yon
certainly did—he ought, to
give you some representation
in office. He has not done
this,for he has never emuloy
ed any colored man as a regu
lar deputy, although once or
twice for special purposes.—
.[Cries ‘that’s ,*$0./} further.
There was a.m virdtyj ciomudt

was sheriff,apd if lie had dene

have been caught. This is

words more to the colored
and ;I am through.—
[Qr|cs of ‘Go on!’ and ‘preach

yon are, and I tell yblt lion
estlv under no circumstances
would I dare to advocate the
measures I do advocate, if I
' jpientioasly think
All that can be
done for the black man in
America, by way of logisla J
tion, baa been done. The bal- j
auco rests with you. The
foundation upon which the
white man of \meriea stands ■
to-day is as linn and lasting
usages. So must be,yours.—
You have been elevated by
legislation? to* Ins position po
litically, and endowed with
every right of American citi
zenship as f'at.as laws can do.
The fouudafiouis a very slcu
der one, having for the cmn
po lent parts only legislation.
Fill up those apertures by la
lrorfeeouomy ,bducoution and
virtue. No country or race
can be successful unless the
foundation on which (hot
stand is built of material I
have named. Many of you
are tooola now to go to school
but you can have your child
ren taught. Raise your sons
and daughters in the fear of
Uod; teacli^voursons to be po
lite.kind andgent’eptnd teach
the White man of this coun
try to know that a colored wo
man eai$ be as virtuous as a
white woman. Have a due
regard for law, and, by all
means,do not neglect your ed
ucation. A nation or race
without knowledge is unable
to protect itself and guard a
gainst intrigue, but is like a
blind man left alone in the
forest, unable to more with
any degree of certainty for
Aar of bodily injury. The
welfare of the black man will
depend largely on two condi
tion?: First’ the degree of
their intelligence; second,the
purity of their litoral charac
ter, fur where virtue, intelli
gence and a respect for right
exist* happiness, peace and
prosperity will surely aceu
liiuiate. I think this is the
kind of doctrine that should
be preached to the colored
men of tin* South. Does-€on
gressman H»w;e,ey any other
so-called Republican leaders
preach this kind of doctrine
to you? No! They know very
well you can’t go to school;
ydu' have neither time nor
money, though you may have
the inclination. They further
know that your only chances
foj gaining intelligence are
at the hustings. Why don’t
they, if they hs^ve your true

From my own experiments

from what l can learn by in

that any one, on making pro

ced that the potato <*» keep

very little sap in that,
when it is cut, the surface
must heal over white and dry.
At such times, also it will be
much more palatable The
Spanish especially when dug

dark on being cooked, when
brought immediately front
the patch, and besides it will
taste more or less bitter.—

GRANGE LIBRARY.
Southern Agriculturist, says
each grange slmnld promptly
commence to get together in
some way a library. Those
who have no books at borne
suitable to be contributed,
could contribute a small am
ount of money, and thus a
book fund would be amassed.
One of the best and most, re
liable .means to adopt bv each
session is to have it known a
mong the members that, each
can get an interesting book
to take borne and read. This
will induce many''to attend,
especially the young.
I here aie many enterpris
ing book dealers in oar largo
cities who can on short notice
tilt orders for grange libraries
at reduced prices. We plead
for the esfablishtncfitof these
foci of intelligence. Lot those
who can spare the money,lib
erally contribute to buy stan
dard works for The Use of the
membership. When this is
done, and grangers generally
have their <iwn'. balls, we may
expect to .see realized some of
the blessed fruits of this no
ble brotherhood. Concerts
and fairs might be held to
i ajse funds in behalf of this
interest. Let the devoted and
enterprising male and female
members adopt some plan to
raise ample funds to have in
their respective granges, a
first class choice circulating
library. It will not only boa
V t*
source of strength,but an ele
ment of real pleasure in each
organization.
