Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1867-12-24

: ne fOFcfbly illustrated by E reference %
his career, and contrasting Il with that
! Of the Radical nominee. That part which
must have struck forcibly his auditory,
was where he showed them the folly Of
{ their going all one way, and thus CON
stituting q black mans party. He said
that IL was an u~ndeuiRbie fact that a
great reaction was going on all over the
North, and II the time came when a ma
l0rity OF Congress would be Democratic,
Tennessee might be again reconstructed
so As 70 exclude negroes from voting, and
II that was attempted the blacks would
have 10 depend on those who were ia
hesrt with them, rather than on
mere party leaders, who would
only side with them when il wes an in
terest to do 90. Col. Fitch stated that he
bad made extensive inquiries ia relation
to the present condition Of e0lOred psO-
pie outside the city, and he was satisfied
that every eolOred family in the State
owed, on an average, w. hundred and
fifty dollars. Not half Of them had any
thing to eat now perhaps q in a hun
dred bad corn enough to last their fami-
lies for four or five months, but rOt d
in two hundred had a particle of meat or
a garment, except the clothes they wore
on their backs. This, he said, should
show the folly Of blacks desiring any
contest with white folks. To most per-
sons 1t will show more than this. Il Is
no doubt a truthful statement OF the pres
ent wIetched condition Of the emancipa-.
ted blseks. When Mr.. Fitch concluded
several of Beecher's blacks tried 10 get a
chance to reply, but the Chairman deci-
ded that the meeting WAS called for Nj.
Fitch, and they could not do so. The
meeting then broke up with demOniac
shouts for Fitch, Beecher and everybody.

hoping that they, one and all, might 20

be such as would confer upon them that
reward which ever follows the footsteps
OF the upright and energetic business
man, and be a source of pride hereafter
