The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1868-06-15

"A correspondent informs Ms that
Circular addressed to the colored
folks has been issued over the sigma
tnre OF the negro agent, of the Radical
party, from Philadelphia, Lynch, in
which it is stated the following Ian
guage is used;
"When the slave traders, in 1920,
stole our free ancestors from Africa,
they secured them by smiles, by honi-
ed words, by artificial stories, by
trinkets and fine handkerchiefs, but
when the slave trader got them where
he wanted them, his smile became a
frown, and he snatched the trinket
from the black mans hand, put a
handcuff on his wrist, took him be-
tween decks, across the stormy Allan
tic, and sold him in American seaports
for gold"
Our correspondent. rightly eonjec-
lures that this language is employed
to encourage the growth of feeling
of enmity by the blacks towards the
white population; but adds thatit can
not have that effect, when the colored
people are informed that the nan over
| whose name it goes forth and profess;
es to bc lover of peace and religion,
has failed to give them the truth of
history. The ancestors of the color
ed people were not free in Africa, but
were in bondage of the most degrading
kind, and instead of being de-
coyed from their country with ''smiles,
trinkets, and handkerchiefs," they
were sold by their African masters to
the ancestors of the Northern Radi-
Gals, whose pay Lynch is in. The
knaves made their fortunes by bring
ing the Africans into this country and
SELLING them, though they profess
ed to have brought them away with
the BENEVOLENT object Of SA-
WING THEIR LIVES FROM De
STRUCTION by Canibalism, and O.
Christianising them, And it is singu
lar coincidence that this sharp negro
Lynch, who, no doubt, is lineal de
scendant of the same Africans who
sold their kindred (the ancestors o
these colored people, into homage,
is now here as the agent of the "Re
publican Executive Committee" try
ing to sell their offspring to the carpet
baggers, who are the sons of the SAM
men that purchased their fathers from
Lynch's ancestors.
Such incendiary appeals as the fore
going, are not only designed to create
false impression and to stir up bit
terness, but they evince the short
/ sightedness of their authors.
/ Lynch was a real philanthropist
or friend of his race, he would en-
deavor to pursuade them to pursue
such course as would win for then
the kindness and confidence of thu
whites, among whom they must resid,
so long as they remain in the country
but, instead OF this, he seeks to plan
enmity between the races, and to leat
his own into the support of a Consti
tuition which is cunningly framed By
vindictive and interested parties, tt
deprive one fourth of the white citi
zens of their political privileges. H.
is thus constituting himself public
enemy of the white people, as he is
in truth, laboring in the interest AM
the pay Of mean white men, in caus
which must, in the end, inevitable
bring misfortune, if not destruction
upon his own race, even though
should have temporary success in tn
coming elections. To this vindictiv
persecution and Acknowledgement Q
the whites is due the reaction in til
Northern States, (of which we had a
example, the other day, in Oregon
against the Radical party. To wha
extent the rebound will go, it is no
; possible to imagine.
