Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1867-10-09

In another column we publish the
sDee,h q su intelligent negro, at 3 meet
ing in the State OF Iowa which Ii
av-vcbed BIZ a gentleman who formerly
resided at Jacinto, Tishomingo county.
Mississippi, and who vHs on the DOUGLAS
electoral ticket in 1850.
This speech contains some hrewd sug-
gestions snd some philosophical views o.
the situation o. the negro in the United
Ststes. n connection Herewith,
Il Is well 10 remember ~
that the negro vas rescued from q state
OF sarvitude and barbarism by the New
EuFIsud slave traders, worse than any
condition they were ever compelled to
endure by the most bSrbarous masters 10
the Southern States.
- Inst. wilhelm 3 state 0~fservitude BIS
the South, they hsd assured 20 them 3
subsistence, whether strong or feeble
vel or sick, old or young. Their sup
port was more certain than that Of any
nlhsr lzboring people under the slu.
They we're cared FOR in infancy, in sick
ness aud IN old g and the land and
estate o. their masters WAS in part theirs,
TO every usefn. and practical intent and
purpose, IS long as they lived.
The act CT emancipation has deprived
them OF the Use Of land, except ss wan
dsriug laborers, and with the rare eE-
csptiou Of ownership by a very few,
while they have not to thank any one
for their emancipation they certainly owe
some little thanks 10 their radical friends
who deprived them Of good plantation
homes, kind masters, fertile soil, upon
which they we're permitted TO work out
spsaceful destiny. fs- superior TO any
thing they were allowed to enjoy in the
laud ri their ancestors.
s. The theory ofmixeG races or monzrel-
ism Is certainly contrary to the DEGREES
of Providence, and Il would be much
better that the negro should be removed
70 s tropical climate, where be can work
out his own destiny and develop
whs;ever cspsbility for civilization
he may possess. It would GER
tainly be better for the white race and
II eternal struggles for equality are 70
mark the presence Of the negro In our
midst, II would be much better for the
Negro. he has bees taught by the Radi-
Gals that be has superior capacity 70 the
white man. II 80, let him have 3 land
10 himself where be can work out his
superior destiny, Untrsmmeied by thei n-
fedority Of q more numerous rival. II
SUMNER, STEVENS, WENDELL PHILLIPS
And' GREELEY wish TO follow his for
tunes, nobody viii be grieved, but AL Of
their c0untrymen will bid them an eter-
nal adieu, with the utmost qualification.
Hsviug beer struck with the sound
ness OF the advice given by this Iowa
negro, and by the logiOSl character Of
his remarks, we have deemed 1t due 70
his brethren in the South to publish bis
views, that they may benefit by his con-
illusions. In one point, the Southern
negro will be surprised. The Northern
negro does not seem 10 enjoy any more
rights or consideration among his North
ern brethren than n he were not Ack-
~novledged theoretically to be las good
81 3 white man" One would suppose,
after all the agitation at the North, that
negroes were truly Z" men and brethren"
But this seems rot 20 be 30. The
Northern negro II is who crlza for
q change and for colonization in the
Southern tropics, where he can work out
his own destiny, free nom the contsmi-
nation OF bis own o~verbeariDg white
brethren. In Iowa the destiny and
prospects Of the black man are not fat
tering. He sees no prospect Of happiness
for his race among his over Jealous
brethren or the Union League. He re-
jects the kiss Of the JUDAsEs Of the Rad
ical faction. and asks 70 be sent far away
from their treacherous embrace. He
even declines matrimonial alliances with
them, sud shrinks with horror from
imperiling the purity Of bis race by mis-
eegenation with the proud Senators,
Clergyuen and Magistrates OF Msssa-
ehusetts-the SUMMERS, PHILLIPsEs, etc. 1
There Sc Significance in this. No negro
can enjoy q seat IN Congress from a
Northern State. The Southern negro
may and will under the reconstruction
policy rise 10 that dignity and may even
dictate, II he cannot reach, the Presl-
dency. But the poor Northern renegade
nom Southern fields is IN q perpetual
minority, even n he should reach the
honor Of the elective franchise. He can
never have any power or enjoy honors, I
ONCE or emolumeDts. Seeing how much
higher bic brother In the South has risen,
add how much better are his chances for
and promotion, he begins to look
70 = "ehange OF base" and to long
for q trial Of those aspirations which
burn IN bis breast at the instigstlon Of
those Radical deceiveFs, who stimulate
bin % dream Of onice but never allow
1lm to clutch the coveted prize. He
,es through their selfish policy ct LAST.
,e begins TO realize that they have used
% 20 effect their own sggrsDdizement
I'd to forward their own selfish and I'M
mpulous schemes. And feeling dis

IS and dastsrdiy plots, be prOclsims
a be not oAly owes them ne thanks
Tor frst easIsving them and then enamel
Dsting them, but that he is 50 disgusted
with their company snd then acts, that
he wishes to be removed far from
with them, and to keep bis
