NEGROES ARE EXCLUDED FROM INDIANA.

Is this the way the Abolitionists show their
sympathy for their darker brethren W IL the
negro has rights, Why do you deny them thus
II they are strangers and foreigners, why do you
deny them hospitality After such display of
Christian liberation, will the people OF Indiana
insist on the abolition Of slavery Will they
vote for or against the South Pray, what do
they intend TO dol lfthey cannot live with few
dark skins among them on equal terms, how can
they reasonably expect Southerners should p
Southern Press.
Southerners like them great deal better-else
why their stringent laws to prevent the emigra-
ton of slaves to the North, and their desperate
efforts to bring back the few who have escaped
But, what had Abolitionists to do with the ex-
clusion of colored people from Indiana They
voted against the prohibitory clause The ma
jority Of the People Of Indiana are as little Abo-
litionis,s as Shareholders and it is doubtful wheth
or they are as kindly disposed a. shareholders to
colored people. They have never insisted on the
abolition Of slavery, and the majority Of their
Senators and Representatives In Congress have
almost always voted with, not against, the South.
