National Independent Political

Address to the Colored People, of the.
Country. (frantitm the Father o/
litl/iiiapum, Hcacnctiitm, and Bui.
tionnl Independent Political Union, und
all persons who fkvortho success of good
government, the return to an honest ad
ministration of all its departments, am!
local self-government lor all the .States,
take this method of communicating with
the colored voters of tho country, on tin
political issue* of tho day.
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?. Ui:p.ult)j.<;;wv p-Urty, ?.
We aro opposed to President (jrunt; for
as a statesman, ho<icserves the censuie
of his countrymen for having made the
name of an American oitrzen a bye-word;
for having prostituted his high office b)
the appointment of sensual, vicious. aban
doued ami profligate men of mean origin,
unknown to the country, and corrupt
Iors jiial friends and relatives, to pla?cs
of trust and emolument. 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 !"
The Republican party is not now
part j uf 8umner, Reward, Lincoln ??
llule?it has dwindled into Granting
and produces nothiug but Bclknakisui,
ILbcockism, Schenekism and all the mj
er d. grading isms of whiih the prcatf
administration is Hither. If you are
t>y those who would postpone the uoi
of the Republic, and influence y
minds against thoso among whom
live, and whoso pood wishes an ea
lightened |>olicy and self-iutcrost eoou
maud you to cultivate, that by not sup*
portilie corruption. fraud, usurpatf
and military despotism, you have beco!
Democrats, ask them, is it criminal to
this ? Have we not the same right

publicans have to become K4? Kl
When Butler, Logan, Bout well Morton,':

they net do it? Have we not tho MM<

of the government paralyzing tlic energy '
and damaging the moral vitality?of tho |
people, the subversion of load self gov-*1
crnment which* h is driven a tvholo see
t ion, to the verge of anarchy and rain ?
In view of all these, and when from the
Executive mansion itself the inoculating
miasma of corruption and turpitude is
impregnating tho very nir wo breathe,
is it not infamous to be a Republican ?..*
I .j it not honorable to be an houcst Dcm '
oerat
The constitutional govonimont b
iju.-athcd us by the fathers h granoflr h?
conception, fur more sublimo than m
p^ny names. Rise, (hen, fellow eiti
to tho duties of tho hour, diacu
youredw* frurn tho galling manacle*
and malhtauTuhlrainuieled, your pol
opinions.
J?ct no man, white or black, even ir
ho bo a Demosthenes not even the man
whose presence :ib president of tho Freed
mens' Hank, robbed you of your all, in
still fresh venom into jour hitherto top
confiding breasts. Believe not that those
who prefer houesty to corruption ar:% no
tuatcd by mercenary ivosivcs, or that
because men are called Democrats, they
arc unjust, ovil disposal and wicked.?
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. Nonl
but narrow minded partisans will rcsorl
to this. The true lovers of their raco an<
country will endeavor to soften instead
of intensify the asperities and amnios^
tics of the dead past. Fix your ?yei
on the future, and with Spartan-like fidefT
it v; cliiij* to principle* instead of to par*
;ty. Thj coming conflict, fellow-citizena
is an allimportant one; it*is important to
us, important to humanity I NVo must
wage it, not for party ends, not for soi-r
tisli motives, but for the unification ol
our common country ! Let us as color
ed men disband tlie hostile oani|S for(n~
ed by tho Republican party?endea\tor
to quench the flames, spouting torreit
like, that that party has lighted agaifst
a-i impoverished section of our great lio*
we now possess, and which no aecdud
night of ignor.iuco can darken, no ?ew
incursion of political vandalism can over
throw.
The Democratic party, by tho adopt
ion of the Cincinnati Platform, has )ac
eeptod the principles which Charles
Sumner declared ttic Republican party
