Tho uutm rous letters received from oil sections of the country a'td the many exj r ssious favcra'de t> 11 o movi m nt coming from our representative men gen rally, compel us to issue this ad dress, and we earnestly desire that our fellow-citizens all over the countiy dis ?rusted with tho apulling increase of Lri* bery, fraud and corruption, will go to work in their respective cities and towns an I organize for the purpose of putting their views into practice at tho polls ai the coming electi< n by voting for none I but men whose purity of character is un- j questionable. Fellow-citizens, industrious efforts have b'en made by tho corrupt friends of the prevent administration to convey the iin pros?ion that the colored voters of the e ?untry are all in favor of there-election of President Grant* Such is not the fact. A verv large portion ot' us take different views of our political duty, but wo are all tired of our political serfdom' The most iutil.igent ol us are opposed to the loathsome corruptions and tynuiical usurpations, of th?.

We aro oppo .?< d to the present leaders of the party prominent among whom nre Senator Morton, of Indiana, and Cameron ot Pennsylvania. The I'onner, but a few years ago, argued in his State against giving the suffrage to colon d men, while the latter has proved himself t!ic most corrupt politician in the country. biuce Mr- Lincoln was foiced to expel liiit) from l?in cabinet, ho has not reformed, but, on tho contrary h;is grown worse, and tlu! Administration, instead of crying nut; "O wretched inaii that 1 mil, who shall deliver inc from tho body of this death,'' has, placed him in control of tho party, and therefore ?vo arc opposed to 1 it. and will use our best efforts to defeat it in the coming election. Wo will do this because we have not had one cheer in}? or inspiring word from it as at pros cut constituted, because it has tyrraniz oil and struck nt the independence of the men with whom we must live, if wo ex pect to inhabit the South, because its pernicious influence has manifested itself in our treatment everywhere, using m to further party prils and then dropping us after success had been achieved; arraying us against tho interest, peace and prosp erity of tho wholo section, and then aban doning us to infuriatod mobs wheih their perfiditv had raised, only to excito tho sympathy of tho North, by making the pcoplo believe tha'. Democratic leaders, and not of Republican office-seekers aro responsible; because of its failure to pass any measure fertile benefit of tho wnole people, which would of courso bonefit us; because a Republican congress, recreant lo its professions, misrepresenting its ' cobstituciiccM, and insensible to right and jijsiico, laiiou 10 p:i?? any measure ing in view the liquidation of our < against the Freedmcu'* Bnnk ; aodi~fl will do this because we desire the uaHi of tho Republio '-with equal rights to oB and reconciliation !"

Tlio issues which divided Republican* nid Democrats arc settled, and it t!l bo' comes any man to appeal to the pnssiom of i^norancc for party ascendancy.
