They didn't want the icmoerats to havo the credit of doing stgood a thing, for they knew that then yu would go with the Democrats.

Am besides, this p'an didn't tax th! peoje enough to suit the Radicals. They culdu't get ten dollars a day for thoiusclv-i, unlet-s they taxed every single thingihe poor man had. So they put a tax pon all property. The Democrats wantei leave you a hundred Jolhrs worthrut 'roiu all tax, and educate you for noting, because they know you aro gonerailivery poor. You may say ti Kadicals can't make taxes out of you, you've got no money; but they ill gct it.

They will get it out )f yoa eulton, your corn, yoor potatoes, your hoy, )our poultry, your wages, you? gun. 1 hey'll get the money out of you ii a ways; and they will have their tet djliars a day, each, though you mty starving on tho pub lio road. Tint's he lladical plan, and to make sure thai yur true white friends shall not be able help you, nor to help tbcmselvus by breking up their money-making arraugeincts, they want you. by adopting this new onstitution, to disfranchise nearly aR th white people. They fixed it up so Hat ou must disfranchise them all, if yod v(te for it.

Yet these same fellows telfwiA about equal rights, with the coolest ymudence, in tho same breath. riends, who are these lladical white perpfe that have been taken with such a su'den and violent love for your race? Wiat do you or I know about them? The come here with car-pot-bags in their hands, and go away with plenty of biglrunks and very full pockets. They talk toyon about lm-ing freod you. what did any of them ever do to tree you? The wai freed vou. Did any of them ever carry agun in the war 'I No.

A hey were sutlers and camp-followers, duarteruiaster3, comuissaries and chris tian commission men, but 1 uou Know ol a binglo one of ibtui Uias ever shouldered his musket in defence of the old flag, about which they talk so much and loud. And v. hat were they before the war Let us look into that matter a little. Andrew Jackson Jamison is now lladical candidate for Lieulonant Gover nor who and what was he There aro hundreds of men in Aberdon (where he used to live) wtio can testily that just before the war he used to make regular trips into Canada afreo province and steal free colored people thence, bring them to sell them into slavery, pocket, the money, and brag what a "soft thing" ha had of it, lie confessed, himself, he was in that and now, so suddenly, ho pretends to bo your best friend, and wants you to vote him. Why, such a man would sell you into slavery to morrow it he had the power and tho opportunity so to do.

There is theRov.tDr., Lawyer, Preach-or Hussey. U0 is going the rounds tell-ing you how much ho loves you.

Thin i fate, and they who ti ll you ho know ihat it It i bre-iiiiMj ihe very lirit lliio that our own people did after lhar in 1 sO" wax to call a Convention. That Convention wim composed nltf.elhrr of Southern white uieu of Misniwippi. It declared you forever free, and that hlavcry ahouU ticver again rxiftt in Alwuiwippi nd it n-ver can lo brought back, Lceatiso white man dexire1 it: and it could not bo brought buck if they did desire it. A'iin, lhee lhdiealji tell yi tint tinier you vote fur this new your right to vot will bo t.

That so, an I I defy any IUdicid cjiouker to prove it to be no. Your right lo voto is not in any way involved in thi fleet ion, nor does it depend upon this Con lituiion. You had that right by law beforn this Coiiftitution was ever made, and ym will have it by tho very saino law, if you vuto down this Constitution, it i in.t a question in thin Constitution whether you shall have tho to vote, but it i.t a whether, by adopting it, you will take away that rir'ht from ail your old white iriend, which you yourfclve uow enjoy. Suri ly, if )ou are wil.ing to do thut, you ought nut to say anything more about equality of rights. If you arc nut willing to do it, but want to r-ee equal rights given to your white friends, the tamo hat you enjoy, then vote down thw miserable Constitution, as you havo the power to do, and insist upon a new one, which shall equal rights in that respect.

Your right to vote was not given by this Constitution, therefore you cau-uot lose that right by voting it down. Again, they tell you you must not vote for the Democrats, because tlu-y don't want to give you education and that you must vote for this Constitution, because, it gives you education. I tell you that, too, ia false, and I will prove it to you. I will now show you that the Dem ocrat aro willing to do more for you in that respect, than even this Constitution proposes. This Constitution proposes to make you pay two dollars a year for education, whether you want it or not.

It also proposes to tax everything you own. These Kadicals want money, and you giva your share to keep them up. Your gun, your pistol, your little crop of cotton or corn, your poultry, cow or pigs, all uiut be taied, and heavily, too. These lladical people charge ten dollars a day for their labor You now this new Constitution was made by a Convention, 'fhero were a great many lladical carpet-baggers in that Convention, and a very few Southern white men were also in it, from the Democratic counties. These Democrats, when they found the lladicals were in no harry to get through, prepared an article, and offered it lo the Convention, so that the work could be quickly dono with, and the heavy expenses stopped.

The Democrats knew you were very poor, and they therefore wanted you to be free from any tax, except you owned over a hundred dollars worth of property. They knew you were not able to pay for educatiou, and that you needed it, and ought to havo it, so they proposed that you should bo educated free, at tho expense of the State. They also insisted that you should have equal rights before the law, equal protection to liberty and property, as an otner men nave it. And, lurthcr than that, they wanted to fix it so that these rights never could bo taken away from you, without your own consent, whereas the new Constitation is so arranged that they can bo taken away from you in fifteen years by amending the Constitution. I suppose the Kadicals thought by that time they wouldn'i have any further use for your votes, as the State will then have a large white majority by immigration, and it won't be a good place then for such people as are now using you.

Now I will read to you what the Democrats offered to do for you and it is what they'now offer to do. Thia I read is from the official report of the same Convention where your very gooo" friends Castello, Parsons and Jacobs, charged you and me ten dollars a day) for sitting in an easy chair. They got over $1300 apiece, and I don't know how many extras, for that little job. Hero is that part of the plan offered by tho Democrats, to which I wish to call your particular attention.

Louis, and I will read you what his own homo paper says about him. I read from the St. Louis llcpublican. It says 'Now, those who know IM. Castollo, as lie is familiarly called by the fjw who aro acquainted with him, will scarcely attribute to l.iui a very large nharc of earthly wisdom, or tho iuformatioa which grow out of scholarly culture, but they will claim that ho was, when hero, one of the most cnthu-tiastio supporters of (Jen.

Hlair, and a bitter opponent to negro equality." So you sec that even Castello a recent convert to your side, and did not like you near so well when ho was at borne a he dues now, wheu thoro is money in it. That is the way with all of them. Look into any of their past histories, and you will find they were always on the paying sHe of any question, without regard to right, jusiu-e or principle. They won't dj to rely upon, as some of you will find out sooner or later by experience. The uublushing effrontery with which theso people tell you the moat palpable falsehoods, is an insult to your judgment.

I have heard them, on the stand, toll you one falsehood after another, with a good grace, which was its much as to say they knew you didn't know any better. Joshua for instance, the other day undertook to explain to you tho reason why your people are not allowed to vote in Ohio, and he tola you several downright falsehoods in thllt kiK 1 will not here repeat, he didn't undertake to tell vou why they refused to let you vote in Connecticut and New York, without property. Nor cha he tell yoa why they wont let you vote at all in Jew Jersey, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minne sota, Oregon, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, California Nevadaand West Virgibia. I'll tell you why it is These lladical (lout like you halt as well when they are at homo as they do down lu re, where they can use your votes for making money. They cannot use your votes in those Northern States to give them office, because the white people there are the stronger, and they wouldn't lot those carpet-baggers hold the office of scavenger or dog killer in those States where they come from, bo they come to the South and impose themselves upon Another reason is that the colored people in thoso States are too smart to be used, and for that reason the carpet-baggers don't care anything about them.

If you, my colored friends, wero too sraait to bo used by them, too smart to be driven about in squads like cattle to register and vote as they want you wouldn't be long finding out that they don't care anything for you This very Josh Morris, who knows bo much about Ohio, was; just before the war, one of the loudest mouthed secessionists and as late as I860 he was opposed to tho right of negroes to testify in the courts of Mississippi, and arguod against it. It is also said, on good authority, that he was only a few year3 ago in favor of re-opening the slave trade, then forbidden by law. He wanted more slaves brought from Af rica. Now, all at once, ths light breaks in upon him, and he loves you eveaso much more, than anvbody clso, just be cause he wants you to vote for htm for Iladioal Attorney Oeneral under the new constitution. Fiually, my colored friends, ifyou can not see through the falsehood and pretext by which these lladical people are making you poorer every day while they grow richer; if you cannot see that they are using you for thoir own advancement and making you destroy your own interests; ifyou cannot see that after thrco years of Drdmismc they have ariven you nothing but trouble, then God pity your blindness If you can seo these things, and will not abandon the men who bo deceive you, then you do not deserve to be pitied, nor do you deserve to bo free.

You are cer tainly not free if you so fear Castello or the Leaguo as to think that you must vote as they command you. You are rurxTV. JF.SSK ANDREWS, E. (iEO. Vv, LAP, Pit.

J. S. KINO- ADDRESS, BY PAUL A.0TTO7 Delivered at Wash inyton, June 13. iWl.tUtb-l 1 Mj colored friends, you have heard all I Lad to say to white people. I desired that you should hear it, for with us there is no concealment.

We have nothing to hide. I shall now say a few things for your especial benefit. In the first place I tell you plainly, that, whatever blame attaches to the existence of slavery iu the South, before the war, does not rest ou the tfoutberu people. Wo had nothing to do with bringing it here. We were born in the possession of slaves, and so were, our fathers before us, and their fathers.

The blamo is upon the forefathers of the very men who now profess to be your liberators and best friends tho lladical Yankees. It was they who brought you from Africa to the Northern States; they kept you as long as they could make money by it, and when they could no longer do that, they brought you to the South and sold you into slavery. The great city of Boston, whence thousands of have como to afflict the South, was ori-inally built with money made in the blave trade. Tho Southern people are only responsible for their, treatment of you whilo you were slaves, aud, upon that score, I think very few of you have reason to complain, for although it is true there were some cruel masters, they were exceptions to the general rule, and they were generally Northern men, while most of you can rcu-'ember that your masters were good and kind. There is no good reason, then, why you should entertain any ill will against the Southern white people and, despite the persistent efforts of wicked men to excite that ill will, I believe most of you are even now, in your hearts, kindly disposed toward us.

Now, as for the feeling of the Southern people towards you, I assure youtbey are kindly disposed, and wish you well they want to see you elevated they want to sco you educated they want to see you enjoy equal rights before the law, equal protection to liberty and property, and an equal share in the benefits of free public education. They want to 6ee you become virtuens, industrious, intelligent members of the coraunity. They have not forgotten your, faithful service and submission as slaves they have not forgotten how during the war, who you had every temptation to be bad, when the old men the ladies and the phildr.ea left ut your, mercy, and ww.t a- aV.
