Oentletnen and Fellow-Citizens: If
I have delayed answering your com
munication ofJuly 11th, which was
duly placed in toy hands by your
committee, it is not laratise the
proper course for you seemed doubt
ful, but because l wisned to reflect
upon it and be aided by information.
Since then I have carefully consider
ed the inquiries you have addressed
me, and listened to much on both
sides, but my best judgment Is in
harmony with my early convictions.
I am touched by the appeal you
make. It is true I am, a friend of
your race, and I am glad to be assur
ed that in your opinion I have held
eons-Went course in the Senate and
elsewhere as the special advocate of
your rights. That course, by the
blessing of Clod, I mean to hold so
long as life lasts. I know your infi
nite wrongs and feel for them as my
own. You only do me simple jus
tice when you odd a belief that my
counsel at this erit ical juncture of my
citizenship would be free from per
sonal feelings and partisan prejudice.
In answering your inquiries, I can
hove no feeling except for your good,
which I most anxiously seek, nor can
any prejudice of any kind be till;4«1
to interfere. The °evasion is too sol
emn. Especially is there no room
for personal feeling or partisan prej
udice. No man or party can expect
newer except for general welfare.
Therefore, they must lie brought too
standard of truth that they may he
seen in life anti act.
you are right in saying that the
choice for the Presidency Is now nar
rowed down to President Grant or
Horace Greeley. One of these is to
be taken, and assu i ter my acquaint
ance with both, and my observation
of their lives, you invite my good
judgment between them, asking the
especially which of the two, judging
from their antecedents, as well as
present position, would enforce the
Constitution and laws, securing your
civil and petition rights with the
mast heartfelt sympathy and the
greatest vigir . . Here I remark that
in this inquiry you naturally put
your rights in the foreground. 4od°
1, believing most sincerely that the
best interests of the whole country
are associated with the completest
recognition of your rights, so that
the two races shall live together in
unbroken harmony. I also remark
that you call attention to two things
—the '.antecedents of the two candi=
dates," and secondly their "present
position." You wish to know from
these which dives assurance of the
most heartfelt sympathy and great
est vigor in the maintenance of your
rights. In other words, which, juda
ing• from the past, will he your true
est friend.

ley from early life. was earnest and
constant against slavery, full of sym
pathy with the colored race, anal al
ways foremast in the great battle for
their rights. PreSident Grant, ex
cept as a soldier, stimmoned by the
terrible aecident of war, never did
anything against slavery, nor has he
at any tim' shoWn any sympathy
with the colored race. Horace Gree
ley earnestly desiro that our color
ed fellow4eitizens ,should vote, and
ably championed itnpartial suffrage;
but President , Granit was on the other
side. Beyond t heSe contrasts, which
• are marked, it cannot be forgotten
that Horace Greeley is a person of
large heart and large understanding,
trained to the support of human
rights, always reedy for any good
cause, and never deterred by oppo-,
sition or reproacho , as when fur long
years he befriended your people.
Aod to these qualities, conspicuous
in his life, inviting industry *which
leaves no moment without its fruit,

and grasp of statesmanship, an ami

antecedents'of Horace Greeley. Few

the honors he has Won cannot change
the record of his . conduct toward
your people, especially in contrast
with the lifetime of fidelity of his
competitor; whilethere are unhappy
antecedents. showing that in the pros
ecution of his plans he cares nothing
for the colored race.
The story is painful, but it must
be told. I refer to the outrage he
perpetrated upon_ Hayti, with its
eight hundred thousand blacks, en
gaged in the great experiment of
self-government. Hero is a most in
structive antecedent, revealing be
yond question his_ true nature. And
the whole is attt:gtf.,4l by documenta
ry evidence, coaveying the idea of
annexing Dominica, which is the
Spanish part of the island; and
shrinking at nothing, he began by
using the war powers of the govern
ment in flagrant Violation of the g.Oll
- tut ion. and thee, ut great egpendi
tum of money, Sent several armed
ships of the navy, including moni
tors, to maintain the usurper Baez
in power, that through him he might
obtain the coveted prize. Not con
tent with this audacious dictatorship,
he proceeded to,strike at the inde
pendence of the black republic, in
.open menace of war, and all without
the sanction of Congress, to which is
committed the war making .power.

Pdnee with our , rriost powerful mon
itor the "Dictator"—properly nam
ed iur , this servite—also the .frigate,
"Severn," as eintsort. and other mon
itors in their train, the Admiral, act

mansion, accompanied by the officers
of his squudrotl, and then pointing
to the great watt ships in sight from
the windows dealt his menace of war,

pot white. Tjte Admiral would
have done no such a thing to any
white ruler, Or would our country
have tolerated Such menance from
any government In the world. Here
was indignity, not only to the black
republic, with-its population of 801),-
000, but to the African race every
where, and elpeeially in our own
country. Nor did it end here. For
months the navy of the United Status

and ready to swoop upon his prey.
Thi 4 heartlesS, cruel proceeding
found a victim among our white fel
li)w citizens.: An excvlient mer
chant of Conncctieut, praised by all
who knew hiqi, was plunged into
prison by ilatiZ, where he was i ntl ..
niu red because it was feared he
would write against the treaty of an
nexation. and this captivity was pro
longed with the connivance of two
agents of the President, one of whom
is found constantly with him and is
part of the military ring immediate
ly about him,. That such outrage
could go unpunished shows the little
regard of thCeresident for human
rights, whelluirin white or black.
I confess my trials as I was called
to witness the things. Always a
supporter of the-administration, and
secretly desiring to labor with it, I
had never utteoM a - word with regard
to it except in., kindness. .My early
opposition tojhe treaty of annexa
tion was resetved, so that for some
time my opinions were unknown.
It was only when I saw the breach
of all law, hortian and divine, that I
was aroused; and then began the an
ger of the President And of his rings,
military and Senatorial. De‘:oled to
the African rat, I felt for them, he
sides being huinbled, that the great
republic, acting through its Presi
dent, could sO . t such an example,
where the natiOnal Constitution, in:
te;rnntional and humanity were
all sacrificed. ItitApeclally was I mov
ed when I saw the indignity to the
colored race. which was accomplish

come now to the "present position"
or the two candidates, which la the
subject of your next inquiry. If in
any former particulars the two are
on an equality, yet in all substantial
respects the obvious advantage is
with Horace Greeley; eria, was nom
inated by reform conventions----oue at
Cincinnati and the other at Philadel
phia—and in this respect they may
seem to be on an equality. Rut it
will not fail to he observed that the
convention at Cincinnati was corn
posed of able and acknowledged Re
publicans, many of whom have acted
with the party from Its first forma
tion, cvho, wi theca previous organiza
tion, rams together voluntarily for
the sake of reform and purity in the
uovern tnent; while on the other hand
the convention at Philadelphia was
composed of delegates chosen largely
under the influence of officeholders,
who assembled to sustain what is
known as'Orantism. Seeing the per
sonal government and personal pre
tensions of President Grant. involv
ing nepotism, repayment of gifts by
official patronage, neglect of public'
duty, absenteeism, military rule, dis
regard of constitution and law, with
general unfitness and indignity to
the colored race, all of which is so
unrepublican as to make its support
impossible by true Republicans;
therefore, the convention at Phila
delphia, though calling itself Repub
lican, was less Republican than that.
at Cincinnati. The two platforms,
so far as especially relates particularly
to the colored race, are alike in sub
stance, but that of Cincinnati is ex
pressed in terms most worthy of
equal rights. It states and claims,
"We recognize the equality of all
men before the law, and hold that it
is the duty of the government in its
dealing with the people to meet out
equal and exact justice to all, of what
ever nativity, race, color or persua
sion, religious or political." In oth
er respects the platform of Cincinna
ti is the moat republican, inasmuch
as It sets itself againstthoseunrepub
lican abuses which have been nursed
by the President into pernicious ac
tivity.
From the two nominations and
two platforms I come to the support
ing, of candidates, and here I look
first at those immediately about
them, and Recondly at the popular
support behind. Horace Greeley has
among his immediate supporters In
alt parts of the country devoted and
Nriteretoflirtultil~ifiewoyagsv
eminent, on Whose I Wes there is no
shatilw of sustifelon, being a contrast
in character to those rings which play
such a part in the present adminis
tration of the country, known too
well as military ring. Senatorial ring,
and Custom House ring, through
which the President acts. Such sup
porters area very poor reeom menda
tion. Looking at the popular sup
port behind, the advantage is still
with Horace Greeley. President
Grant has at his back a diversified
nrruy of (dike holders, drilled to obey
the word of command. Speeches
praising him ore by officeholders and
members of rings. Horace Greeley
finds flocking to his support large
numbers of Republicans unwilling to
continue the existing misrule, and
as allies with them a regenerated
party, which comes forward to unite
in the Liberal movement. The Dem
ocrats in joining Horace Greeley have
changed simply, as President Grant
ehangre when he joined the Republi
cans, except that he was rewarded at
once with a high office. The change
is open. Adopting the Republican
platform, which places the equal
right,: of all under the safeguard of
irreversible guarantees, and at the
mine time accepting the nomination
era lifelong Abolitionist, who repre
sents pre-eminently the sentiment of
duty to the colored race, they have
set their corporate seal to a sacred
covenant. They may continue Dem
ocrats in name, but they are in reali
ty Republicans by the same title that
those who sustain Republican princi
ples are Republicans: or rather they
are Democrats according to the orig
inal signification of that word. dedi
cated 10 the rights of the people. It
is idle to say that Horace Greeley and
the Republicans that nominated him
are any less Republicans because the
Democrats unite with them in sup
! port of chosen principles and the can
dilute who represents them. Con
-1 versions are always welcome, and
not less so bemuse the change is in
znultitude, other than an individual.
A
political party cannot if it 'would,
and should not if it could, shut the
door against converts. whether counts
ed by scores, hundreds or thousands.
And so we find the supporters of
President Grant announcing with
partisan triumph the adhesion of a
single Democrat politician, or a sin
gle Democratic newspaper. With
eq ual reason "anel higher pride may
- the supporters if lloraceGreeley an
flounce the adhesion of the Democrat
ic party, which, turning from the
things that are beinial press on to
those that are before. It is also idle
to say that the election of Horace
Greeley as President, with Gratz
Brown as Vice President, both un
changeable Republicans, will be a re
turn of the Democratic party to pow
er. On the contrary, it will he the
inauguration of Republican princi
ples under the safe-guard of a Repob
helm President and a Republican
Vice-President, with Democrats us
avowed supporters. In theorganiza
tion of his administration, and in the
conduct of affairs, Horace Greeley
will naturally lean upon those who
represent best the great promises
made of equality and reconciliation at
Cincinnati. If Democrats are taken
it will tie as Republicans in heart,
recognizing the associate terms of
settlement as an irreversible finality.
'rho hardihood of political falsehood
reaches its extreme point when it is
asserted that under Horace Greeley
the freedmen will be enslaved, or that
the coloredepeople will in any way
suffer in their equal rights. On the
contrary, they have in his election
not only the promises of the platform,
hut also the sniendid example of a
full generation, during which he has
never wavered in asserting their
rights. To suppose that Horace terree
them most goodwill depart from the

reason. It is none the less idle to
suppose that Democrats supporting

songs to the tune of "Old John-Brown

especially the establishment of char

will expect their President to he al

Therefore. I put aside partisan al

It is for you to consider whether the
time has not come for something bet

character like Horace Greeley does
not give stronger assurance' f good
government than can be found in the
insulter of the colored race, already
famous from the rings about him,
and his plain inaptitude for civil life.
The supporters of President Grant
compel us to observe his offences and
short-comings. The comparison then
they challenge cannot be declined It
will be for others in the present can
vass to hold it before the American
people.
Sneaking now for myself. I have to
say that my vote will be given for
Horace Greeley, but in giving it I do
not go to the Democratic party; nor
am I any less a Republican. On the
contrary, I am so much a Republi
can that I cannot supporta cindidate
whose conduct in civil life has shown
incapacity to associate with Repub
lican principles, and v: - hose adminis
tration is marked by acts of delin- -
quency, especially toward the colored ,
race by the side of which the elle
gatians OR the impeachment of An
drew Johnson were technical and
trivial. Unquestionably President
Grant deserves Impeachment for high
crimes and misdemeanors rather than
renomination, and on trial it would
have beeu enough to exhibit his seiz
ure of the war power and his indigni
ty to the black republic with its pop
ulation of 800,000, in violation of the
- tinhartor -- ghttiteteirtoftilattini*
sea between him and Abraham Lln=
coin. The latter In his first annual
message recommends the recognition
of what he called the independence
and sovereignty of Hayti, but it is at
these that President Grant has struck.
One of Abraham Lincoln's first acts
was to put the black republic on an

President Grant's acts was ; to degrade.
lam so much of a Republican that I
wish to see in the presidential chair a
lifetime abolitionist. I wish a Pres
ident sincerely devoted to civil ser
vice reform, beginning with the one

Grant once accepted 'but now .dis
owns. I also wish a President who
sets an examule of industry and un
selfish dedication to the public good;
and I wish to seen President through

mony instead of discord. Strangely
President Grant seems to delight in
strife. If he finds no enemy he falls
upon his friends, as when he struck
at the black republic. insulted 'Rus

both France and Germany, and then
in personal relations quarrelled gen
erally.
My own personal experience teaches
how futile is the charge that if Hor
ace Greeley receives the Democratic
vote, therefore he becomes a Demo,
crat, or lapses under Democratic con
trol. I was first chosen to the Senate
by a coalition of Free Soilers and
Democrats. Democratic votes helped
to make me a Senator from Massa
chusetts, as they also helped to make
my excellent friend, Mr. Chase, Ken
it'or from (Thin, and will help to make '
Horace Greeley President. But nei
ther Mr. Chase or myself was on this
account less faithfial as a Free Boiler,
and answering for myself I know that
I never became Democratic or lapsed

doubt that Horace Greeley will be
equally consistent. The charge to
the contrary so vehemently repeated
seems to reflect the character of those
who make it. except that many re-
Peat it by rote. There is a common
mying. "principles not men," and on
this ground an appeal is made for.
President Grant, feeling that in any
personal comparison with I brace
Greeley he must fill. Rut a better
saying is principle; and men. I am
for the principles of the Republican
party in contradiction to Grantisin,
and I am for the man who truly rep
resents them by these principles. I
shall stand for them, I shall labor ti)r
them, and In their triumph I shall
always rejoice. If any valued friend
separates from me now it will be be.
cause he places man above principles.
Early in public life I declared my
little heed for party and my indffer
enee to the name by which I was
called, and now I confess my want of
sympathy with those who would
cling to the form after the spirit ,has
tied.
Let me call attention to another
and controlling consideration, which
cannot be neglected by gomi‘citi ZPI)s.
Watching the remarkable Movement
which has ended in the double nom
ination of Horace Greeley it is easy
to ace it did not proceed from politi
cians. whether at Cincinnati or at
Baltimore. Evidently it was the
heart of the people sorely wrung by
the war and the controversies it en
gendered, which found expresNion.
Sir Phillip Sidney said of the upris
nig in the Netherlands, "it is the
spirit of the Lord and irrlsistablette
And such spirit is manifest now, not
withstanding the counter-acting in
fluences or politicians, Republican
and Democrat. In fact against per
sistent ridicule, and against extrava
gant and unscrupulous opposition the
nomination at Cincinnati was tri
umphantly adopted at Baltimore.
Such an unprecedented victory,with
on t concert or propulsion of any kind,
can he explained only by supposing
thnt it is in harmony with the popu
lar longing. That the Democrats,and
especially those of the South, should
adopt a life-time abolitionist for Pres

welcome the happy signs. Nor can
I observe without regret the colored
people, in organized masses, resist:
ang friendly overtures, even to the
extent of intimidating those who
are the other way. It is for them to
consider carefully whether they
should not take advantage of the un
expected opening and recognize the
bail bond given at Baltimore as as
surance of peace, holding the parties
to the full performance of its condi

are fixed. lam sure it cannot be
