in the South, who are busy in instructing the
Southern public how to accept the situation.

Those unscrupulous agitatOrs who appoint
themselves in the name of the North to come
down here and tell the negro what to do if
the Government don't do this or that, ought
to be shipped back to their homes and warned
not to return again.
