You of the North have no couception of the luve the colored people, meu and women, have for whiskey. The liquor traffic is weakening our la- bur, and when the time comes to plant for the vew crop of cotton or grain the Negro has no money with which to buy his seed.

We know that there are exceptions to geueral rules, but the colored man as a voter on general principles, in the South, has not sold bis vote for whiskey, but has sealed bis devo tion to principles with bis blood, and the official reco d will show that nearly fifteen thousand blac men, have been murdered in the South since 1868, because they could not be bought for money, whiskey, or any otber sort of hiskey, 3 y romises, to vote against the prow’ ’ of their conscience. that the good think- {this country know no reasou aw. si ny defense from the W.C.

Southern meu want us to stay away from the polls, not so much to protect us from Republican tyranny, as from a desire on their part to permit things to goon as they are in order that they may profit by the loaves and fishes that come to them. The Seuthern wo men have found out at last that it is better ‘o suffer from what we have been taught to know as Republican tyravpy than to cuffer from drunkedpess, debauchery and imprisonment.
