On tk<* eve of leaving America fur a sliort
stay in Europe. 1 feel not only the inclination,
hut deem it tny duty to address few farting
words to my people. wU se welfare lies next to
my heart and whose interests are the theme of
my thoughts by day and my d earns by night.
These ideas are dictated by a fixed res»>Iuti ,n.
determined bv observation of the present polit
ical a.-pect, and also by what I have observed
through u prolonged residence in Bah sections
of the United States In doing tins. I am well
aware from past experience that I shall no
doubt call dowu on my lie: d the vials id xsr.-.tii
of the Radical party at the South, and if deem
ed important enough, perhaps of the North
also : but “I speak the words of solrern -s* and
truth,” and I earnestly entreat my petiple not
to be persuaded by the wild inventions ui'party
faction athiressseti to them «*n isstics entirely
outside of their material interests, but to listen
to the words of one who has no personal ad van
tage to subserve, and who. in making these re-
unit Its is actuated simply by a desire to see
in’s people pursue a course consistent with
their pm c situation ami their future responsi
bilities and duties ; for my colored luethren,
we have most serious responsibilities and du- :
ties in the future. We sprang from a state of
slavery to c ue which makes us legislators and
gives us a voice as potential as that of our late
masters in tire government of the country, not
the Southern country only, but the United
States at large ; for reconstruction is about to
ensue on our admission to political rights, and
our vote in Georgia for Federal offices is equal
to the vote of the white man. North and South
for the Federal offices.
The first question that arises under this state
of affaire is--‘"Are we prepared by education <>r

Failure of Jacob Barker's Bank in New
Orleans.

YvY extaact from a New Orleans letter to the
Avalanche an account of the scenes which trau-
tipred in and around the banking house ot Ja
cob Barker, in New Orleans, a few days since,
when it was discovered that he had failed.—
The writer says :
The failure of Jacob Barker's bank has been
productive of a very serious amount of sutlcr-

very safe.
When the failure was announced it fell like
an electric shock on the jh-i pie. 1 hey docked

thronged aUmt the doors in luge numbers.—
Many demonstrative, distressing scenes were
witnessed, while hundreds of the stricken on- |

countenances. There wen poor, plainly-clad
la'uoivrs, tottering old women, sewing girls. \

One of the odd incidents, and that elicited

from Charleston' says;
“Crossing the narrow street I entered the |

bearing upon its face, in deeply cut letters, the

against Rrowulow and Jacobinism in Tennessee.
He thus characterizes those nondescripts called
