A. They would not endure it TLey call
themselves a superior race of beinrrs, and
claim they are born your rnlers
Q. Why do they not do unto others as they
Democratic Parties.
A. 4 You should remember that your labor
is worth just as much to the man who employi
you as bis money is to you. s I
Q. Yon would advise'us then to disregard
these threats and vote with tbe Rcnubiican
party?
. A. Most certainly I would. Ilad-jon not
rather suffer, or even starve to death, than to
aid a party to re enslave you ! Remember your
former condition and avoid a return to chains
and slavery "Give me liberty; or give me
death."
Q. The white people South say that the
Republicans of the North do not care for the
colored men only so far as they can use them
to cootione in political powen la that true?
A. It is not.
Q. Yhat is the reason that several of f the
Northern States do not give us the right to
vote? .
A. Chiefly because they have in the past
been controlled by the Democratic patty. In
the Western Stales, where what arc called the
I' Black laws," exist, which forbii colored peo
ple to live there, there are Iaige bodies in
whites who moved originally hoiu the slave
States, and carried the hatred and prejudice of
Slavery with them.
i Q. What has the Republican party d jne of
those States about such laws?
A. Tried to abolish them as fast as it ob
tained power. It publicly advocates their re
peal. I Q. Well, I ara satisfied. You have cb.arlr
shown me my duty, and I shall impart the in
formation to my people,
i A. Let me Ray to you further, that the
Democratic parly will uo all means to pet
the colored people to put it in power ngain
but you must remember what has been its past
record, and see to it that you do not tiust it in
the future. In order that you may work to
the best advantage or the success of the par
ty which ha3 bctnWd still is your true friend,
you should nave the organization or associa
tion, where you can bring together your reo
pie, and such white men as belong to the Re
publican party. You want to be so organized
that you will act as ono man, lest your enemy
pain the victory. You should organize Union
Leagues aud Republican Clubs. Here is a
Constitution for a Union Republican Club.
ou can take this and call together pome of
your RepuLl'can friend, have them si?n it, and
elect the officers provided therein. Then hold
a meeting once in each week talk thoc mat
ters over, read newspapers and documents to
those who cannot read, and take such measures
as will result in convevinir to every colored
man the correct view of his duties at this time.
This is tbe Conttitution of which I speak :

only every element adverse to, but all not in
sympathy with the Union theory of reconstruc
tion. Some fault finding reader may here say
to himself that this remark is calculated to en
courage the Republicans in a stringent policy.
Not so, we respond. The Ref ublicans do not
stand in need of cnconragemcnL Their minds
are made np, and tbe decree has gone forth,
not to be recalled, that Southern reconstruc
tion shalf embody Union supremacy, and baU
be the grave of State sovereignty, secession
and Confederate power. I: is not to encour
age the Republicans in thu policy, but to ad
monish and forewarn our Southern brethern
that we follow this line of remark.
There has been a prevalent belief among
those who have , thrown impediments in the
path of reconstruction, that the dsy is not far
distant when the names of all who'taanifrst a
compliment spirit mill become a LIsMag and a
by-word. e have seen in one or two of our
contemporaries this sort of prediction, made
in reference to ourselves. Thoe who looked
forward to be in the future the reciwenls of
offices and honors at the hands of the pcophit
have been intimidated by this talk. As we
had no such aspiration, this talk only excited
our derision. All who hare observed the re
sults ot the recent registration can now.ee for
themselves the force and value of such talk.
They need not be told that few but men of Un
ion sentiments will be elected to office in' Vir
ginia and the other Southern States. He who
precipitates himself against tbe rock of Re
publican reconstruction will be ground to pow
der, j

It is hard for every one to comprehend fnlly
the lensrth and bredth of the enormity of the
Attorney General recent opinion on the Mil
itary Reconstruction Act. If it is law. then
every rebel is hi own register. If it is law,
thcic is no call for a board of registration at
all. No ends are answered bv it. It brcomca
only a useless expensive, and clunuy piece of
governmental ruaciunery, aoing no goou ana

What the KeTrtparcri do for I olklng--
The following thnuld be read ami pondered
well by every man who takes a uertpaper
without paying for it:
My observations enable me to Uate, as a
fact, that publishers of newspapers are- mora
poorly rewarded than any other class of men
in the United States who invent aa equal
amount of labor, capital and tboaght. They
are expected to do more work (or less pay, to
stand more pronging and 'dead beadlag to
pulf and defend more people, without In or
hope of reward, than any other class.
'Jfhcy credit wider and longer, get oftencr
cheated, suffer more pecuniary lorn, ore oflerer
the victims of misplaced conSlraee than any'
other calling in Hie community. I'eopje pay
a printer! bill with much more reluctance
than any other. It goes Larder with them ta
expend a dollar on a voluble pewpspeTS thai
ten on a needless gewgaw; "yet cvenbodr
avails himself of tbe use of all the editor t
pens and printer's ink.
How many professional and politic Fepu
Utions and fortunes bare been rqada and sus
tained by the friendly, though unrequited, pen"
of the editor? How'many embryo towniand
cities Jiave been brought into notiee and puff
ed into prosperity by the press? How many
railroads now in successful operation, would
bare foundered but for tbe 'lever that more
the world ? In short, what branch of industry
and activity has not been promoted, stimulated
and defended by the press ? 4
And who hsi tendered it moro than a mis-'
erablo pittance for services ? The bars ara cf
fashion and tbe haunts of diaSpatIon and. ap-
E elite are thronged with on eager, crowd,
taring gold in their palms, atenormous pro
fits, though intrinsically worthless, TJd fail
