Mr. Nordhoff, a prominent Northern man, who has recently been making a careful investigation of the condition of the negroes in the South, says in a report which he has made to the "Social Science Congress," that in the State of Georgia, which has been under Democratic government for the past five years, the negroes are by far more prosperous than in any other Southern State. There are 80,000 voters, and they own 338,769 acres of farming land and $1,200,115 worth of real estate in cities and towns, and paid tax last year on $6,157,798 worth of real estate. Colored men, we ask you, does that look like the Democrats desire to oppress the black men? Think of this and see how much more prosperous everybody, white and black, are in the Democratic State of Georgia, than they are in any of their neighboring States, which are governed by the Republicans.
