Mr AvkKA Mill : I shall lre myself
In in v colored trien.ls alone. 1 speak at
their request mill tor their benefit. 1 think
I ran claim to be ynnr friend and to feel in
ti rested in your welfare. Since the close nl
I lie war, circuniatauces buvc placed, some,
two hundred "f you, at different times, in
inv employ. Our intercourse hat liecn kinil
and pleasant. Vou have done your duty to
me ami I have endeavored to discharge mine
In yon We have had no difference, and,
Itelieving that you confide in me, I shall
spk plainly to you on public matter
The colored race has caused iiiuch strife,
agitation and war ; lint oa are now free. I
would not entangle you 4,iu ' bondage.
( ongres baa determined to give you the
rights ol Ireemen, and one of it highest
right is the privilege of voting. Many who
forincily had lint little to do with yon are
i.w very friendly. Thev tell you that vou
must join the Republican party and vote a
that party vote; ami they claim una nlvou
hccu-e tliey ay they are your lct thelitis,
and that the Kepublican party Ireed you -Now
1 contend that no party treed you tbat
no party intended to free you when the war
lMgan that you owe your freedom to God,
and to God alone, and to Hint you should
render the praise Atteud to me while 1
prove this fiom the record :
President Lincoln, in his Inaugural ad
dress of March 4th. '1 said : "I have no
purpose directly or indirectly to interfere
with the institution ol slavery in the Stales
where il eiists. I believe I have no lawlul
light In d.i so And 1 have no inclination
m do so." What is plainer than this '
And again, Congress, in July '61. declared I
in solemn resolution, almost unanimously,
"That this war in not w aged, on our part, !
in any spirit ot oppression, or for any pur-
pose of conquest, or sulij'igaf ion, or ovei- j
ihrowiognr interfering with the rights or:
established inttitutumt ol those States in re
liellion. ' Now slavery, you know. wai an
institution of the Stale in relwllion, and j
Congress declared it was not the intention j
ol the Government to interfere with any in- '
stitutiun. Congress also pasel an ait.
which was approved ly the President, on
tf 111. Aug. which act provides only
for the forfeiture and emancipation of the
laves of nliels, when such slaves hail Keen
"actually employed in hostile service ol any
kind against the Government ut the I'niled '
States." Mark you, none were to he emsnci
paled, hut such as had lieen employed
against the Government. ,
On the flint of August, just twenty live
ilavs alter this act was signed by the Pres j
l. lent. Gen. Fremont, twlieving that the j
proclaiming martial law against citizen ol :
the State ol Missouri concerned in promo j
ting the rebellion, the confiscation of their
property and the freeing of tficir slaves,
wonld be the most effective blow lie could
possibly strike at secession ism in the Slate,
sued a Prm Ismstiou, and, anno g ..ther
things, he declared : --The pr.xrty, Iioth
real and personal, of all srrotis in the State
of Missouri, who (hall take up arum against
the I nited States, to w confiscated to the
public use, and their slaves, if they have
any. are hereby declared to lie freemen "
Thw proclamation produced gnat i u ti
nient throughout ail the Northern States
It was an a.ivance, in the direction ot einan
cipation, upon the confiscation act. And ;
the President addressed a letter to GVn. j
Fremont, asking him to modify the pr..cla i
niation To this Gen F. replied, express j
ing his pri f.rence that the president should j
noddy it himself, if it was to be modified, j
AccorilingU, on the 1 1th. of Sept.. the.
President's letter lo Gen. Fremont was pub- .
lished, in which, after stating the tacts, he
concludes as follows :
'it ia therefore, urUcred that, the said
clause of said proclamation, I the clause in
relation to the confiscation of properly ami
the liberation of slaves.) In- so modified,
held and construed, as to conform w ith, anil
not tn transcend, the provisions on the same
subject contained in the act ol Congress,
entitled an act to confiscate property used
foi insurrectionary purposes, approved Ail
gust ftlh . ltlfil "
Now what do we learn from all this! -Why,
simply. General Fremont was re
bilked by the' President for taking a step in
advance-on the subject of confiscation and
emancipation. Again, on the Nth. of Nov.
'61., Gen. T. W. Sherman issues a proclama
tion to the people ol the State of South
aroliua, soon slier the surrender of It. an
fort, in which he said "In obedience to
the orders of the I'nsident of the I nited
States of America, I have landed on your
shores with a small force of National troops,
with no desire to harm your citizen., ties
troy your properly or to interfere with any
of your lawful laws, rights, or your sta-isl
and local institutions."
Here again, we are told, no social and
local institution is to lie interfered with.
So you see. slavery wa not to he troubled.
Soon after the meeting of tte 87th. Con
gress, on the !8nd. of Decemla-r. lttflt, it was
tiddly affirmed that lavery wa the cause
ot the war, that the whole power of the
government should be directed against the
cause, and that emsneipatulu was a pie
liminary to ace, that peace could not
eiist without the emancipation of !very. In
a message to Congress. March 6th., lHo2, the
President, recommends the following rcaolu
. lion: "ltridned. That the I'nited States
ought to co-operate with any State which
may adopt a gradual aliolitition ol slavery,
giving to suih State pecuniary aid." In
arguing this resolution in iheaanie message,
the President says, it ia proposed a a mat
ter of perfectly free choice wi'.h them (the
State owning slaves). Does this, I ask you,
look like your freedom wa determined upon
and influenced by disinterested love lor
your race Surely it, docs not.
In July, the Presideid signed the confis
cation act. That proviiled Oust the slaves
of persona guilty of treason should la) freed.
About this time, the President wa urged
(as the liest means of stopping the war) to
favor immediate anil unconditional i manci
pation ; and in reply In a Utti r etnliodying
these views, published by the lion. Horace
Greelv, in the New York Trihunt, the Pres
ident says: there Ins thows who would
not save" the I'nion, unless they could at
tlx' same time save slavery, I do not agree
with them. It there la- those who would
not save the I'nion, unless they could at the
snmc f hue destroy slavery, I do not agree
with them. My mrauiount object j to save
the I'nion, and not either to say or destroy
slavery. If I conW tbtt ainiun, vitkemt
freeing any tltire, I vtnttd da it, and if I
could ve it, hy freeing all the ilTe, I
would do it, and if I could save it by free
ing some and leaving others alone, I would
do tliai. What I do about slavery and the
colored race, I do liecause I ladieve it helps
to save this I'nion, and what I forbear, I for
bear liecause I do not believe it would help
to save the I'nion." This letter w as dated
August 2'J, Mr Lincoln leaves no
room tocavil about the matter. Ho loved
tlie I'nion and was g ling to maintain its
supremacy, slavery ot no slavery. 1 might
go on almost indefinitely, show ing y ou thst
your lilicra'tioii was entirely a war measure,
and not disintcicstcd low for your rare. I
have Mr. Lincoln's Pruclamatiou lielore me,
giving 60 days lor all to return to the
I'nion and save their slaves, but I have
read enough I know you are satisfied. -President
Lincoln and the Congress were the
leadeisof the lo publican partv and you see
what their purpose was.
You are tree. No party intended it, and
there i no partv now who will not see that
ton Hie protected in your freeiloin and your
lights as tit't-iio-ii. The South, especially,
is bound lo ilo ti. and w hy ' The people
of the South h.iw irr in do it Listen to
the reading of the oath that each voter hail
to take, and did take, lielore he could take
any part in conducting the Government, or
lielore he could vote for any one to adopt
a new Constitution, or do anything else).
Here is the oath "I do solemnly swear in
the pretence of Almighty OimI, that I will
henceforth faithfully support and defend the
Constitution of the L'nated States and the
1'nioii ot the Slates thereunder, and that I
will in like manner abide by and faithfully
support all laws and proclamations which
have laen made during the existing rclxd
bou with refeience to the emancipation ot
slaves: so help me Gd." This oath I look,
and intend fruitfully to observe to the latest
day of my life, and 1 intend to t. noli my
children, as I now advise you, to love and
revere the Union ol thi'se States. It is our
only sure protection to our rights of person
and of property, lieneath the star and
striiM's we miv feel secure, and no where
I else. Then let us love, and cherish it.
i Congress has recently passed a bill, known
i as the Military bill, for the reconstruction of
1 the rebel State. It now lajcomes the duty
I of all (nod cilHSens, whether whim or col
ored, to reorganize under this bill and carry
I out its provisions in good faith. Registers
I will Iks soon appointed in every County, to
I register the name ol every qualifinl voter,
' without respii't to race or color. These reg
istered voters w ill soon be called iqion to
1 select delegates lo a Convention to frame a
Constitution for the State. Now, what is a
1 Convention ' In one sense ot the word, it
is the assembling of the p-nple in a body
' to form a State government, binding. the
people ly a written iiisiriiinei.t called a
Constitution, which contains tl rganic
law of the Stale. Well, all the people can
' not leave home to go toltaleigh, and if they
i could, when they got there, they could not
! asaerouhj together in a Ixirtv to talk over and
oecide what was liest to lie done. So it lias
; been verv wiselv provided, that the people
; should sell ct delegates w hn are to ac t for ;
. I lo m, and have the same power that all the ,
ja-ople woiiM have il they were all present, j
Well, these delegates will draw Up a writ '
ten instrument for the Government of tin- ;
cople ot North Carolina, and afu-r talking
over the mat ter, and having agreed upon
hou il sh ill I.e. we are nil. both white and j
colored, l.oiii'.l io abide bv its provisions, ,
and all nur laws must also t e in otailicnce
, to il N., when we select men to mnke I
' Is foi lis. I m fore they enter on the ::s
chsroeol ili. n duty, s law makers, they
will hive to swear to support the Coiisiitu 1
! lion of the State of North Carolina and the
ij Constitution ol the United States ol Alnci
i ca This Stale Constitution, that we have
I lasi-n talking about, must not conflict with ',
j the Constitution ol the l iiiied Slates, and
must be sin h a one as Congress will agree 1
to accept. Then you can sec, at once, how j
can ful we all should Is- in selecting good
and wise men to go to nur first Convention.
You have lnn advised that you should j
, all vole lor men, that lailoiig to the ltepub j
licsupariv il are told liiat thai party j
. gave you your treeilom, and the right to
vote; that that party are your best lriemls.
All this may lie so; but I don't la-lieve it.
nor do you la lieve it. I have shown yon
that neither nartv to the war intruded, in
the first place, to set you free, throng!" any
feeling of disinterested love for you So,
also. I assure you that no parly, since the wr
cb-scd, has given you the right to vote la- .
cause they loved yxu so well. Not love to
you, hut the hop. to get your v. i(kt. to build
up the Itepublican party in the Soalli.iti my
opinion influenced ( 'ongruss to give sill
rage. Why do 1 say so? Hi-cause there are
thousands ot your nice in the country that I he ,
Military Bill of Congress does not t idran
chisc. Go lo many ol t ie Northern Stales
anil ask the colored man the question, can
you vote; and his answer will be, no 1
Again, I argue that this same partv, that
claims to love you so well, have the power
tn control Coiign ssmnal legislation. They ,
know that you, as a Kople, are very poor.
They ki.e the white people iu the South ,
w ere also very Jioor, a. d not able to pay
you good and lilx'ral wages for your labor , ,
and they also knew that you do the most
of the field labor, and especial. y in making 1
cotton and lurpoutuu:. Let us look ut the
cotton tan lor a in. .mi nt, and we will la-gin !
at home. We have seven hatnls engaged in
our crop. We think wu are pretty sure to
make nil -10(1 lb bah of cotton. Well,
one third, twenty hales, ol this is to pay the
laborer. The tax is 2J cents per lb., !
per bale or (t'.'OO tor twenty bales, a ta of"
jiist I'JS.SoJ to each hand. The general e
innate now lor the cotton crop of John
ston County, the present year, is pnt down
at 3.000 bales Well, sav one third of this
is to pay for lalxir, a hich is 1,000 bale;
f 10 per bale tax will amount to just I0,
000 , this, niiiid you, come from the poor
laborer. Ami again Say we put the pres
ent crop of all the Southern States at 1,500,
000 boli s, and say that one third is to
pay the hiborer. We at once see that the
laborer is taxed 1,W)0,l)OO, to say nothing
of the tax on turpentine, w hich, I have no
doubt is 1.000,OtM) more. Now who arc
the priitcipal laborers of the South ' Most
assuredly it is the colored race, and not the
white race. W ho, I ask, is. working all the
large cotton farm around here T l oo an
swer the colored man. Well. now. when
you are told that noils but a Uepublieaii is
"your friend, and that his party set you tree
ftMjfl gave vou suffrage, because it loved you
so well, say to lilni, "Why, sir, your party
is taxing tiiv lalair and my race $0,000,000
annimllv, when you know our wives and
children are so poorly supplied with food
and raiment:" And, again, look around
you in your ow n Slate, and you see many
that would now consume you with their
blazing, love, have just found out yon were
to good and so sweet, since yon had -votes
to bestow. Ask soma of those friends if
any of them ever voted against your light !
to testify in a court of justice ! Sli.no. will !
cover their faces. i
f do not advise you to vote for no man
who aay he belongs tn the It. publican pur
ty ; lar from it. I have no doubt t but im i.
are juat a good men, who call thewm l. -Republicans,

will seek In -ii i t use f,.r prolonged pro
scription, thice embarked on this course,
the necessities of their position will drivo
them to further outrages. The fresh accu
sations by which they will seek to justify
themselves, w ill logically call lor fresh pains;
ami confiscation will be the next prescrip
tion. It is already the cry of the foremost
of the hunt.
It is our part to furnish n excuae and no
pretext tor coining clamors. Let us not
suffer ourselves t,, be pr,,v,iki,l or even bad
gered Into collisions. Let the luxury of
free speech be indulged in all the licentious
liess of insult aud ol Incendiarism. Let us
content ourselves with the freedom of nut
hearing. T. tay away from the ranting of
liiisfhief-inaki r. nt most time the best re
buke, is at present our only prudent rebuke.
Let us be wise as serpents ami harmless as
doves. The v iolenee ' f lltmniclit t -and
Underwood have but served to ruin their
hopes, let not the violence of Kelly, if ho
should coiiie here, avail to revive them,
through such a riot as he excited in Mobile.
Let us either endure in silence such epithet
as disgrace the speaker, lint us, or let ua
stay nwuy altogether, w hich is perhaps still
latter Wc must not, furnish the material,
or allow even a pauibh- pretext tor further
severities ..and particularly for that crowning
wickedness lor which Steven haa already
declared.
We observe that flit- New York Tim
says the partv for confiscation at the North
is no larger titan the party for the repudia
tion ot the Federal debt. In truth, the two
topics are more nearly rt la I id than might at
0rt he supposed. The spirit of lawletsnesr,
Since unchained, is like he loosed tiger; ii
will not confine itself to the prev on
