GENTLEMEN AND FELLOW CITIZENS: . * I am touched by the appeal you make. It ia true that I am the friend of your race, and I am glad to be assured that ia your opinion I have hold a consistent ooaree in tho Sonate and elsewhere as the special advocate of your rights. That course, by the blessing of God, I mean to bold so long as lifo lasts. I know your infinite wrongs, and feel them SB for my own. You only do mo simple justice when you add a belier that my ooansol, at this criti? cal juncture of your citizenship, would befroe from porsonal feelings and partisan prejudice In answering your inquiries, I can have no fueling except for your good, which I most anxiously seek; nor can any pr< jud ic o of any kind bo allowed to interfere. Tue occasion is too Bolemn. Especially is there no room for personal feeling or for partisan prejudice No man or party can expoot power except for the general welfare; therefore, they must bo brought to the standard of truth, that they may be seen in lifo and act. Yon are right iu saying that the choice for the Presidency in now narrowed down to President Grant or HoraceGrieley. Gne of these is to be taken; and, assuming my acquaintance with both, and my observation of thoir lives, you invito my judgment between them, asking me ospe cially which of tho two, judging from their antecedents, as well ns present position, would enforce the Constitutum and laws, se? curing your civil and political rights, with the most heartfelt sympathy and the greatest vigor. Here I remark that, in this inquiry, you naturally put your rightB in the fore? ground. Bo do I-believing most eincorely that the beat intercBtB of the whole country are associated with the completeat recognition of yonr rights, so that the two races shall live together in unbroken harmony. I also re? mark that you call attention to two things, the "antecedents" of the two cami Li?tes ; and secondly, their "proaout position." You wish to know from these which gives assurance of the most heartfelt sympathy and greatest vigor in the maintenance of vour rights; in other words, which, judging by the past, will be yonr truest frionu. The communication with which you have honored mo ?B not alono. Colored follow-citi? zens in other parts of the country, I may Bay in nearly every State of the Union, have made a similar request, and some complain that I have thus far kept silent. I am not insensible to this appeal. But if my opinion is given, it must be oandidly, according to my conscience. In this spirit I answer your inquiries, begin? ning with the antecedents of the candidates. I. Horace Greeley was born to poverty and educated himeolf in a printing omeo. Presi? dent Grant, fortunate in early patronage, be? came a cadet at West Point, and was educat? ed at the public expense. Ono started with nothing but industry and character; tho other started with a military commission. One was trained as a civilian ; the othor as a soldier. Horaoe Greeley stood forth as a re? former and Abolitionist. President Grant en? listed as a pro-slavery Domocrat, and, at the election of James Buchanan, fortified by his vote all the pretensions of slavery, including the Dred Scott decision. Horace Greeley from early lifo was earnest and constant against slavery, full of sympathy with the colored race, and always foremost in the great battlo for their rights. President Grant, except aa a soldier, summoned by tho terrible accident of war, never did anything against slavery, nor has ho at any time shown any epmpathy with tho colored raco. Horace Greoley earnestly desired that colored citizens should vote and ably championed im? partial suffrage; hut President Grant was ou tho other side. Beyond thoso contrasts, which are marked, it cannot be forgotten that Horace Greeley is a person of large heart and largo understanding, trained to tho support of human rights, always beneficent with the poor, always ready for any good cause, and never deterred by'opposition or reproach, as when for lor g years he befriended your peo? ple. Add to these qualities, conspicuous in nis lifo, untiring industry, which leaves no moment without its fruit-abundant political knowledgo-acquaintance with history-the instinct and grasp of statesmanship-an amiable nature-a magnanimous soul, and, above all, an honesty which no suspicion has touched, and you have a brief portraiture of what are tho antecedents of Horace Groo ley. Fofv of theso things appear in tho Pre? sident. His great SUCCCBS in war, and the honorsffe has won, cannotfehange the record of his conduct toward your people, especially in contrast with tho life-time fidelity of his competitor, while there are unhappy "ante? cedents" showing that in the prosecution of his plans ho cares nothing for tho colored race. The story is painful,but it must ho told. I refer to tho outrage he perpetrated upon Hayti, with ita 800,OCO blacks, engaged iu the great experiment of self-government. Here is a most instructive "antecedent," re? vealing beyond question hia true nature, and the whole is attested by documentary evi? dence.

AI.FRFD L. TY IBU, July 16 JCmo Vicc-Preeidi nt South Caiolii a RaHioad, Clim lesli n, S C. miuioa, which is tho Spanish part of'the island, and shrinking at nothing, he began by seizing the war powers of tho Govern? ment, in flagrant violation of the Constitu? tion, and then, ut great expenditure of money, sent several armed ships of the navy, including monitors, to maintain the usurper Baez in power, that through him he might obtain the coveted prizo. Not content with this audacious dictatorship, he proceeded to strike at tho independence of the black re? public by opon monaoe of war, and all with? out the sanction of Congress, to which is committed the war-making power. Sailing, into the harbor of Port-au-Prince with our most powerful monitor, the Dictator, proper? ly named for this service, also the frigate Se? vern as oonsort and other monitors in thoir train, the Admiral, aoting under instructions from Washington, proceeded to the executive mansion, accompanied by officers of his squadron, and tuon, pointing to tho groat war ships in sight (rom tho windows, dealt his menace of war, threatening to sink or capture Uaytien ships. The President was black, not white. The Admiral would have done no suoh thing to any white ruler, nor would our country have tolerated such me? nace from any Governmont in tho world, fiero was indignity not only to the black re? public, with its population of 800,000, but to the African race everywhere, and especially in our own country. Nor did it end hero. For months the navy of the United States waa hovering on the coast, koepiug that in? sulted pcoplo in constant anxiety, while Pre? sident tirant waB to them liko a hawk nailing in the air, and mady to swoop upon bia prey. This heartless, cruel proceeding found a vic? tim among our white fellow-citizens. An ex? cellent merchant of Connecticut, praise; i by all who kuow him, was plunged into prison by Baez, where he was immured because it waa feared be would write against the treaty of an neiion, and this captivity waa prolonged with the connivance of two agenta of the Prc siilent, ono of whom finds constant favor with him, and is part of tho military ring im? mediately about him. That such an outrage could go unpunished shows tho little regard of the President for human rights, whether in white or black, I confess my trials, ns I waa called to wit? ness these things. Always a supporter of the Administration, and sincerely desiring to labor with it, I had never uttered a word with regard to it except in kinduess. My early op? position to the treaty oi annexation was re? served, BO that for some time my opinions were unknown. It waa only when"I saw the breach of all law, human and divine, that I was aroused, and then began the angerof tho Prosident and of his lings, military and sena? torial. Devoted to the African race, I felt for them, besides being humbled that the great republic, acting through its President, could ?et stich an example, where tho National Conatitutiou, international law and humanity wcro all sacrificed. Especially was I moved when I saw the indignity to tho colored race which waa accomplished by trampling upon a fundamental principio of international law, declaring the equality of nations, SB our De? claration of Independence declares the equal? ity of men. This terriblo transaction, wDicb nobody oan defend, ia among tho "antece? dents" of President Grant, from which yon can judge how much the colored race can rely upon bia "heartfelt sympathies." Nor can it be forgotten, that shortly afterward, on thc retnrii of tho commission from thia Island, lion. Frederick Eouglass, the colored orator, accomplished in maimers ae iu eh,que nee, wu? thrust away from the company nf tho com? missioners at the common tabb- r.f tho mail packet on the Potomac, almost within sight ol the Executive Mansion, simply on account ol his color; but the President, ut whose invita? tion he had joined the commission, never ut? tered a word in condemnation of thia exclu? sion, and when entertaining the returned uomiuissioncra at dinner, cart folly omitted Mr. Douglass, who was iu Washington at thi time, au? thus repeated tho indignity. Othei things might be mentioned showing tho sym? pathies of the President, but I cannot forget the civil rights bill, which is the cap-atone nj tnat equality before the law to which nil art. entitled, without distiuctio i of color. Pretil dent Grant, who could lobby so assiduously for his St. Domingo scheme, lull of wrong ti tho colored raco, could do nothing for Ihi> beneficent measuro. During a long acssiot of Congress, it waa discussed constantly, ant the colored people evorywhero hung upon tin debate, but thero was no word of "heartfell eympathy"ifrom the President. Atlast, just be? fore tho nominating convention, ho addressee & lotter to a mooting of colored fellow-citizen< in Washington, called to advaucc this cause whero ho avoided the question, by declaring himself in favor of "me exerciao of thoa? rights to which every citizen should be justit entitled," leaving it uncertaiu whether coloree people aro justly entitled to the rights se cured by tho pending bill. I umlernt ami tba Horace Greeley has already been assailed bi an impracticable Democrat aa friendly to thi' bill, but nobody has lisped agaiuat Presiden Grant ou this account. Among "antecede nts," I dorm it my dut; to intuition the: little capacity or iuduitiy o' the President in protecting colored pe< vh and in assuring puace at the South. Ned.nd; can dou^t that a small portiou of tho eli ir i and earnest will, even without tho lobbyinf j BO freely given to tho San Domingo scheme would have averted those Ku Klux emt rage winch wo deplore, so that there would bavt I beeu no pretence for furtht-r legislation b; Congress. But ho waa disabled both by cha I racter and the drawback of his own conduct After violating thu Constitution and interna tional lan to insult the black republic, ant i setting an example of insubordination, b was not in coudiliou to robuku law-breakers II. Passing from "antecedents." 1 com now to the "present position" o? tho two eau didules, which is tho subject nt your next in quiry. If in any former particulars the tw aro on au equality, yet iu all substantial r? S pect 8 the obvious advantage is w it h llorac Greeley. Each WBB uomiiiatcd hy ti ItepnMi can Convention, one at Cincinnati and th other nt Philadelphia, so that in this iv.-q-.ee they may seem lo bo on au equality. But i will not fail lp bo observed that thu conven tiou at Cincinnati was composed of able an acknowledged Hepubiieans. many of whoi have acted with the patty from its first foi mut ion, who, without previous orgauizatlui came together voluntarily for tho saku of rc form and puritv IB the Government; while, ei I the other hand, tho convention ut Piulado ni J i i was composed ot delega toe chose I largely under tho influence of stockholder) who assembled to sustain what is known H Gratitism, being tho persemal govern m ot and personal pretensions of Grant, iuvotviu nepotism, repayment of gifts by official pa trouago, neglect of public cinty, absentee isn military rulo, disregard of constitution an law, with general unlit noaa and indignity t tho colored race-all of which is so unreput hean as to mako its support impossible Ic true lWpublicaca. Therefore, tue convei tion at Philadelphia, though calling itae ltopublicac, was lesa Republican in realil than that at Cincinnati. Tho two platform so far as concoma especially the colored mei aro alike in substance, but that of Ginciuna ia expressed in terms most worthv of th equal rights it states and claims: "we recoj nizo the equality of all men before the lai and bold that it is the duty of Government i its dealings with the people to moto out equ and exact j us tico to all, of whatever nativit; race, oolor or persuasion, religious or polit cal." In other respects, tho platform of Cit ciunati ia tho most Republican, inasmuch I it sets itself against those uuropuhlican abuse which have bein nursed hy the Protii'.oi into pernicious activity. From tho two nominations and two pla forms I como to tho Biipporiom of I he cami datca, and hi re I look, lire-1, a* thoso minn el ately ab on I them, und, sece t.cily, al tho pop? lar support behind. Hoi nco Greeley be among his immediate support? rs, in all par of the country, th voted and consistent lt publicans, always earnest roi- reform ami pi rity in Govertinit nt, on whose lives there is i Shade W Of SUBpichm-Heilig ll COKtllli t character to thoso rings which play ouch a part io thu present Administration. The country known too well tbs military ring, the HUD a tori al ring, um! tho CUB toni house ling, through which the President acta. Bach sup? portera are a very poor recommendation. Looking at the popular anpport behind, the advantage is ?titi with Horace Oreeley. Pre? sident Grant has at hia back the diversified army of office-bolder*, drilled to obey the word of command. Tho apocohea praising him are by ofliue-hohlera and members of ringa. Hcraco Greeley finds flocking to bis support largo numbers of ltepublioana unwill? ing to continue tho oxiatiug misrule, and aa allies with thom a regenerated party which comet? forward to unite in this Liberal move? ment. Dem?crata, in joining Horace Greeley, have obanged simply aa President Grant changed when ho joined tho Republicans, ex? cept that he was rewarded at once with high oflioo. The chango ia opon. Adopting tho Republican platform, which places the equal righta of all under the safeguard of irrevrai ! ble guarantees and at tbf same time accept? ing tho nomination of a life-time Abolitionist, who represo-ita pro-oinineiitly tho sentiment ot duty to the colored race, they have set their i corporate seal to tho sacred covenant. They may continuo Dem?crata in name, but they aro in reality Republicana, by the t>amo title thatthoao who aualain Republican principles aro Republicans, or rather they aro Demo? crats, according to tho original ?signification of that word, dedicated to tho rights of the people. It is idle to say that Horace Oreoley I and the liepnblicana that nominated him are any loas Republican becauau Democrats unite with them in suppoit of cherished principles and Ibo candidate who representa them. Con? versions aro always welcome, and not has so because tho change iain a multitude rather than an individual. A political party cannot, if it would, and s tumid not, if it could, abut the door ?gui nut converts, whether counted by tho acoro, the hundred or tho tbouaand; aud so we find that tho supportera of Presi? dent Cirant announce with partisan triumph the adhesion ot a single Democratic politician or a einglo Democratic newspaper. Un eqnal reason, and with higher pride, may tho sup? portera of Horace Greoley auuounco tho ad? hesion of tho Democratic party, which, turn? ing from tho things that are behind, proaees on to thoso that are before It ia also idlo to say that tho election of Horaco Greoley as President, with Gratz Brown as Vice-president, both unchangeable Republicans, will be tho return of tho Demo? cratic party to power. On the contrary, it will be the inauguration of Republican prin? cipies, under the safeguard of a Republican President and Republican vice-President, with Democrats aa avowed supporter*, In tho organization of bia administration and in the conduct of affaire, Horace Greeley will naturally lean upon thoao who represent best the great promises mado of equal rights and reconciliation at Cincinnati. If Dem?crata aro taken, it will be aa Republicaos in heart, rocogn'zing tho associate terms of tho settle? ment as au irreversible finality. Tho hardi? hood of political falsehood reaches ita ex? treme point, when it ia asserted that under Horaco Greeley tho ireodmin will bo ro-cn alaved, or that colored people will in any way Huffer in their equal rights. On the contrary", they havo in bia election not only the pro? mines of the platform, but alao thc splendid example for a full generation, during which he haa never wavered in thoaeaertiou of their righta. To anpjioso that Horace Greeley, when placed where he can do them the moat good, will depart from the rule of bia boucat lifo, ia au iuault to rcaaon. Therefore, I put aside the partisan allegations that Horace Greeley had gone to the Democrats, or that ho will bc controlled by Dem?crata. Kach ia without foundation or reason, according to my judgment. They are attempts to avoid what you recognize as tho true issue, being the question between the two candidate?, or, perhaps, they may bo considered aa scare crown, to deter the timid. Nobody who votes for Horaco Greeley will go to tho Democrats, nor do I believe that when elected Horace Orocley will bo under any Influence except that enlightened conscience which will keep bim ever true to the principles be represents. Ic ia none tho loaa idle to suppose that Demo? crats supporting llorac* Greeley expect or dei-ire ttiat he should depart from thoao prin? ciples which aro tho glory of bid character. They havo accepted Ibo Cincinnati platform with its two-fold promises, and intend in good faith to maintain it. Democrats cannot turn back who, at tho Convention adopting thia platform, aang Greeley songs to tho tune .JT "Old John Brown, bia soul is marching on." Hooking especially tho establishment of character in tho National Government, they will expect their President to be always true to himself. Gentlemen, in thus answering your two in? quiries, I havo shown why yon," aa colorod tellow-cit izeiiB, and also all who would uphold your rights and save the colored race from indignity, should refuso to sanction tho re? election of tho President, and put your truat in Hornc J Greeley. I ought to add that willi him will ho associated as Vice-President Gratz Brown, whom I have known for years as a most determined Abolitionist. The two to getber will oarry into the National Govern? ment au unswerving devotion to vour rights, not to bo disturbed by partisan dictation ol sectional prejudico. Besides all this, wltloll may fitly puide you in determining betweer thotwocaudidates.it ia mv duty to remine you that, aa citizen* of th? United states, ant' Fiart of tho country, your welfare ia indiano ubly associated with that of the whole coun? try. Where all aro prosperous you will bc gainers. Therefore, while justly careful i> your own rights, yon cannot lie itidifivrcn*. ti the blessings of good government. It ia foi you to consider whether the time baa liol come for something better thin the sword and whether a character like Horace Greeley doea not give stronger assurance of good gu verument than cm be found in thc insulter <. the colored race, already famous from tin ringa about bim and bis plain inaptitude foi civil life. Thc supporters of President Gran compel u?> tn obaeive bia offiiices ami abort eommga. The comparison they challeitgi carnot be declined, lt will bo tor others ii Gm present o.invuea to bold it bofo re th? American people. Speaking now for myself I have lo any that my vote will be given f?> Horace Or?ele; ; but in giving it I do not go ti tho Democratic party, nor am 1 any leas i Republican. On thu contrary, 1 am so niue) of a Republican that i cannot support a eau didate whose conduct in civil lite shows ai incapacity to appreciate Rcpublioau princi pica, and whoso administration ia marked b; ailie ol delitupiiney, especially to (bo colorei no-. -, iii me aide ol wi.ich the allegations 01 i hf i npt achill? nt n| Andrew Johnson wer tech. ii-.i and iri/ia;. Unquestionably Presi deni lirai:! deserved impeachment for bigl dla.ca un i misdemeanors, rather than a re nomination, and on the trial it would hav been enough to oxhihit bia seizure of tho wa power and bia indignity to tho black republic with its population of 800,000, in violation c the National Constitution and of in tern at io un law. And hero a contrast arises botween hie and Abraham Lincoln. The latter, in bia lira annual message, recommended tho rccognl tion of wh >t hu called tho "independenco an sovereignty of Hayti," but it ia at these tba President (Jcunt baa struck. Ono of Abra ham Lincoln'? brat acta waa to put tho blac republic on an equality with tho Otho powers; one of Pros f.lcnt Grant's waa to de grade it. I am so much of a Hopu'dican (fiat I wis) to soo in tho Presidential chair a li fe-tim Abolitionist. I alao wish a Preaidoiitsiucorcl dovoted to civil service reform, beginuin with tho ..one-term principle," which Pre?! dont Grant ?nco accepted, but now disown* I also wiall a President who acta the exampl of industry and unselfish dedication to th public good. And I wish to eeo a Presiden through whom wo may expect peace aud h ai IllOliy, instead or discord. .Strangely, Proa dent Grant acema to delight in strife. If b finds no enemy, bo lalla upon bia friends, a when he el ruck at tho black republic, inanit? liuseiu in bia annual message, offended bot Franco and Germany, and then, in personal relations, quarreled generally. My own per s mal experience teaches how (utile it the chnrgo, that beuanao Huraco Greeley re?oives Democratic votes, therefore he becomes a Democrat, or lapses under Democratic con? trol. I was first chosen to tho Senato hy a coalition of Freo Boilers and Democrats. De? mocratic votes helped make me Senator from Massachusetts, au they also helped make my excollent friend. Mr.*Chase, Bouator from Ohio, and will help make Horace Greeley Pro? vident. But neither Mr. Chase nor mysolf was on this acoount less faithful aa Freo Boilers, and, answering tor myself, I know that I novor became a Democrat or lapsed under Democratic control. 1 do not doubt that Ho? race Greeley will bo equally consistent. The charge to the contrary, so vehemently repeat? ed, seems to reflect tho character ol those who make it, oxoupt that they may ropeat it by roto. Theroia a common saying, "Princi? ples, not men," and on this gronnd an appeal ia made for President Grant, feeling justly that, iu any personal comparison with Horace Greeley, he munt fail. But a better saying ia, "Principles awi men." I am for the princi? ples of the Bepublican party in contradiction to Grantiem, and I am for tho man who truly represents them. By these principles I shall stand, for them I shall labor, and iu their tri? umph 1 shall alwaya rejoice. If any valued friend separates from mo now, it will be be causo he pf o ces a man at/ore principien. Early in nubile lifo, 1 declared iny little -heed for party, and my indifference to tho name by which I am cabed; and now I confesa my want ot sympathy with those who .von kl cling tu the form alter ita spirit baa fled. Allow mo to call attention to another and controlling consideration, which cannot bo neglected by tho good citizen. Watching tho remarkable movement, that bas ended in the double nomination of Horace Greeley, it ia oaay to see that it did not proceed from poli? ticians, whether at Cincinna i or Baltimore. Evidently it waa tho heart of the people, sore? ly wrung by war and tho controversies it en? gendered, which fonnd thia expression. Sir t'hilip Kidney said of tho uprising in the Ne? therlands, "It ia tho spirit of tho Lord, and is irresistible," and such a spirit ia manifest now. Nothwithetanding tho counteracting inlluenco of politicians-Bepublican and De? mocratic-in the face of persistent ridicule and against the extravagance of unscrupulous opposition-the nomination at Cincinnati was triumphantly adopted at Baltimore. Such an unpiccedcnted victory, without concert or Eropulsion of any kind, can be explained only y anpposiug that it is in harmony with a po? pular longing. That Democrats, and espe? cially those of the South, should adopt a life? time Abolitionist for President ia an assurance of willingness to associate the right ? nf their colored fellow-citizons with that reconciliation of which Horace Greoley waa an early repre? sentative. In atanding by Jefferson Davis at bia trial, and signing hie bail-bond, ho showed the samo sentiment of humanity he so con? stantly displayed in standing by the colored race throughout their prolonged trial, eo that the two discordant races find kindred hospi? tality in him, end he thus becomes a tie of union. Tho nomination has been adopted by the Democrats, in convention assembled. Thia waa an event which tho supporters of Presi? dent Grant declared impossible. I donut see how it call bo regarded otherwiso than as a peace-oiTu ing. Aa euch, it ia of infinito valu?, lt is a revolution, and ita suci as in pacifying tho country will be in proportion to its acceptance hy us. 1 daro not neglect thc gnat opportunity, nor can I stand aloof. It ia in harmony with my life, which places peace above nil t lungs except the rights of man. Thus tar. in constant c. flirts lor tho colored rac-, I have sincerely sought the good ol all, which I was ?uro would bo beet obtained in fulfilling tue promises of the Do elaratiou of link prudence, making all equal ill rights. The spirit in which I acted appears in un early speech, where 1 said: "Nothing in hate: nothing in vengeance." Never hive I asked for punishment. Most anxiously have I looked for the time, which seema now at hand, when there bliould bo reconciliation not only between tho North and South, but between the two races, BO that tho two ecc tioua and tho two races may ho lifted from the rut* and grooves in which they aro now fastened, au ri iuutoad of irritating antagonism without end, there shall bo sympathetic co? op?ration. Tho exist i ng difleri nces ought to be ended. There is a time for all things, and wo are ad? monished, by a wide spread, popular upris? ing, bursting thu bouda of party, that the time baa come for estrangement to cease be? tween people who, by tho ordinance of God, must livo together. Gladly do I welcome the happy signs; nor can I observe, without re? gret, the colored people, in organized masses, resistios the friendly overtures, even to the extent of intimidating t huso who aro tho other way. It ia for them to consider carefully whether they should not take advantago of tho unexpected opening and recognize tho bail-bond given at Baltimore as tho assurance of peace, bidding the parties to the tull per? formance of ita conditions. Provided always that their rights aro fixed, I am eure it cannot bo best for the colored people to band together in a hoatiln camp, provoking antagonism and keeping alive the separation of races. Above all there must be no intimidation, but every voter must act freely, without constraint from league or lodge. Much better will it be when the two political parties compete for your votes, each anxious for your support. Only then will that citizenship, hy which you are entitled to tho ? qual rights of all have its na? tural fruits. Oi ly then will there be that harmony which ia essential to a true civiliza? tion, ibo present punition of tho colored citizen ii perilous. Hi? is exposed tu injurious pressure H hen ho neelia support, ltut I sci no uariy extrication except iu the way pro? posed. 'Let him eut adrift from in ana uer? who would wield him merely as a pol?tica force, with little regard to his own good, ami bravo!)' stand by the candidate who lins stone! by hint. If Democrats unite with him, sr iiiuoh tho better. The associa thin once begnr must naturally ripen iu cuuusou fiiuudshir. und trust. I am lor peace in rea'i?y ss in name. From the bottom of my lmart I am for peace, anti I welcome all that makes tor peace. With deep-felt satiffaotiou, I remember that nc citizen who drew his aword against us IIHH suffered bv tho hand of the executioner. In just association with thia humanity will bc the triumph of equal rigbta when tho pro mises of tue great declaration are all fulfilled, and our peoplo are united, as nev?r before, iu tho enduring fellowship or a common citizen? ship. To this end, there must bo reconcilia? tion, nor can I withhold my hand. Freely 1 accept the hand that is offered, and reach forth my own in friendly grasp. I am against tho policy of hate; I am against fanning an? cient Hames Into continued life; I am against raking in the ashes of the past for coal? ol tire yot horning. Pilo up the ashes; extin? guish tho flames; abolish tho bate: suab ia my desire. And now, turning to the D?mocratie party. I hold it to all the covenants solemnly given in tho adoption of a Republican plat? form, with Horaoe Greoley as candidate 'Ibero can be no baokward step. With no common sympathy I have ohservct that Mr. Hendricks, a leading Democrat whom I knew and esteemed in the 8enate has recently announced bia acceptance of thi constitutional amendments, with their log! cal roaultR. He proposes, as a proper koy noto to tho extraordinary movement nor swelling to a euro triumph, "Just Laws am Public Virtuo." Thia ia a worthy aspiration entiroly fit on Ibis occaeion. My koy-noto is ' The Unity of tho Republic, and the Equa Rights ot All, with Reconciliation." Such i my cry, and wherever my voico can roach there do I insist upon all these, humbly invok iug the blessings of Divine Providence, which I believe, must descend upon such a causo. Accept my best wishes for yourselves per annally ?nd for tho people yon represent, am believe mo, gentlemen, vour faithful friend, CHARLES SUMNMt. To Dr. AUGUSTA, W. H.
