Mr: 1 'resident dud .Gptlemm: '
I exceedingly regret my inability to
bo;; pupent -with you. I consider this
one of tbc moht ' important meetings
cverca'.ied by us. The grievances which
.the. u i v i tion is called to protest is a
ci( -i rcac( nablo one. There can be
no good citti'e jfehown why colored. men
shioiid hi excluded jfrom the jury box.
Taeyare aa honest and fairminded as any
a'ber cla of citizens I except none.
Tuey arc ' juite as little likely to be
switytd by passion lor prejudice as any,'
and c ii; an average baye as keen pene
tration as. any. This exclusion is un
lawful, and nothiiigjbut gross injustice
aid higb-banded.wickedhess can pre-ve-'vt-their
exercising the riht tb the
jury- box. " ' ': ' -i !
It ia.rn old maxim lb it every man
has the tight t be tried by a jury of
his j tcrs. If colore 1 men enjoytbe
S;Bme 'rights as white men, then the
w hi t man is b's p:er and competent
sit in judgment upt n his life, liberty,
property or character. But if colored
men , do i bt enjoy the same rights, as
white r.en, then the white man is not
bis peer,' and if none but' white men are
jarymcn, the colored man cannot be
liwfuily tried at all, and no just Judge
ouldi prtc;ed witbjtbe trial of o'ne,
should be challenge the array. ;
I repeat my regret that , a previous
and most imporiabt- engagement with
the House of Bisbopi, prevents my be
in with you. I tru:t that wisdom, miy
guide your deliberations, and that har
mony may prcvail.tfn ycur council, "

our race interest?. 3i J. W. Hooi.
