Wo are inil.vncod by var'.> as considerations
to address you, uud, iu plain und sim;:o lan
guage, to teii 3'ou truthfully our viewn and
purposes; Tboy arc nltfo the views and pur
poses of tho great Dom erotic party; whioh, for
fully thieo-fourths of the lifo of our govcrii
iuo.it. has governed the United States, and is
soon about to resume the ndniiuit i .ation of that
government. Among those consider: tioas are
the following :
First. We are n. turally your friends and
you..\ro n.sturally our frionds. Any othor re
lations between its are unnatural and injuriou
to both. W-i have the cupl.ul r.nd give em
ployments. We own the bads and rot.uire la
bor to make tootu productive end profitable.
Ten desire to be employed. By your labor
alone you ena live. WT* desire to employ you
mid to have your IfcW.v-?et neoMtse It i- hot
ter, or oheapor, or more prof table to (A than
the white hbor, whioh wRl be glad to come
ind take your place if wc nie compelled In d:s
sard yours aud invite it; but we doxiro your
labor booauso you know us, and we know you.
Wo woro b?rn together here und wo havo
grown up together. Inl infancy wc were
au:sed together, in boyhood wr. played together
j-ad we do sot e.sily forgot these for the sake
jf strangors. Hence It Is, that we intend to
teavo it entirely to your caoioo, whether you
will be frionds with ns or be our enemies, r.nd
scmpol us to tre.it yon as enomies.
We Inoio we can do without yon. Wu ihuik
you will find it very difheuk to do without ns.
Wc think it our duty to take eaVt that you are
is fully informed in making yevr choice, be
tween enmity and hostility to ns, and friend
ship and peace uufA us, as we-can Inform you
by tolling you tho whole truth. The roasou
that It is our d uty to'do this is because wo aro
indebted to you for great fidelity in tho past,
and becaune we !?to the stronger, r.nd you the
woakor party. It In always tUG duly of tho
strong aud powerful, besides being just, to bo
gehorous.
Wo havo the woslth. 'Tho houses iu whioh
you livo aro ours j tho lauds upon which you
must labor or starvo are ours. Wo havo edu
cation, advr.iicomeut in the arta and sciences,
and iu civilixKiion gonerally. Yoti aro. for
tho most part, uneducated, juat Hw.rtlng In the
career iu which wo are so far ahead of you. |
We havo tho numbers over yon; onv rate :s
thirty miiliouB or more; youvs four millions or
less.
We think it our duty to uso all thcac groat
advantages justly and generously for ypnv wel
faro, for your ; dvanceiueut in ouuer.iion, in
tho acquisition of property, and in the pursuit
of ever)'good thing whioh is meant by, or
makes up what Is meant by, tlc?'iiiz(Uion." if
you will allow na to do it.
Second. We seo aud ^tiotothat you arc hur
rying on into groat uud immediate :rouble and
danger to yoursolvca and your race. You arc
proposing to bring on a conflict bctweon your
selves and onrsolvsa. If it comes?if you bring
on that conflict, it will be a conflict Vetweon
your race and our race. Thove arc indications
that yen already thb.k yonvselves prepared for
this oonflict. You brae for some timo prac
ticed aggressivo and Uor.tllo coaduet to tvds ..s.
You havo itssemblod as a party or cla a. id
you luivc deliborr.toly ihtcrruploJ us i: 11001
ings, Inaultod aud assaulted Individuals among
us, pelted onr houaos with ntonos. insulted our
families by vulgar and profane language; dis
turbed tho night-quiet by nuoarthly whooj*
and hcroams. threatening "death to tho Rebols'
?moaniug ourselves; assaulted und threaten
ed Uio p<:lIco aud police stations of t!a^ oity.
Yod are aiming ayd di'illaig in waarHk-p prao
tlcet, and this for aggroauoa r.nd attack, not
for defenee; because yon havo i?o c?hso eV pe>
tenoo oi eanse for expeetiu? aggrossloa or at
tack from as. Yen kavo never been dfet rbed,
not even in your riotous ..ad dlaorderly c?. nduci 1
of coarac. k.lcw th?t y^it rrc r.fgsd and'
enticed on towards this great danger and trou
bio by wiokcd white men. We know tho:o,
who they aro, and rll about them; what they
eay, aud whttt they are doing wo also know bet
ter than they or yvu ran- /kioir, the sure and
swift penalty which will fall upon particular
men whon the conflict begins. But thia will
not then aave you. You will not thou be ox
crsod because you have boon Joludod and
cheated by thcr.o lufamoua men. i.iaton for
one mjtnont to particulars:
Whon wc held our great meeting on the
ovoning of the 2 ! Lb J"oly, you proposed, it is
said, under the guidance of a white man who
Is your candidate for Mayor, and, wo arc told,
assembled, to form in procession nud disturb
Our* 'mooting by muroiiing through full five
thousand people, closely puoku-i, iu the street.
I Yon were, fbriuiiately for yourselves, prevent
ed by the influence of the Mayor, who is also
of your political aflluity. if you had attempt
ed this wilful aggression, you would have
brcught on tho conflict at ti.nt time; you did
til an Lho ISih day ofVDoaoinh v. IS v^j u Bimi

They broke ap these Legislature* by military
power, because, tbey said, Ihey worn "illegal."
The}* establishe d military governments for a
time, and family your government, such as It

If wo are right, you aro safe. If they are
right, and the Legislature which made you irec

Wc know how to du that, or to fee lhal It is
done. Thoir hatred to ua was so great that,
for i?.s aake, with all their protended love Por
you, they would g'.vo up your freedom and de
clare it "illegal.'' Their hatred to the slavery
of the colored man was less than their hatred
to the white man of tho South! Their love of
freedom for you was less ih;:'n thoir ovr. oi'
