The colored people are now called freemen, but do they hallow you to vote as you please? [Voices—“No, No.”] He would not ask colored men to vote any particular ticket, but wanted them to yote for good men, identified with the interests of the city. In conclusion, he stated that his object was to en- courage them to put up g-od men, and not al low themselves to be used as enemies of the white citlzens.
