cred couple Of paragraphs tina, indicate a
pitiable condition in the future. Two weeks
ago large meeting Of colored people was
held at Natchitoche,. and the following
preamble and revolution were offered and
adopted. reported in the Telegram Of
June 30:
WHEREAS, The White League in the pay
ish of Natchitoches did, IN the year OF our
Lord a: d. 1871. take steps to deprive us of
every right that belongs to us: and
Whereas. We did petition to the Congress
OF the United States to colonize us; and
Whereas. The Congress OF the United
States failed to do SO; therefore be it
ltosolced, That we. and each one OF ne, do
solemnly pledge ourselves 70 settle up our
business the coming fall and be ready to
leave the parish of Natchitoches by the
first OF January, 1876, unless We are pro.
tected in our lives and rights a. American
citizens.
There is serious absence Of feeling in |
this resolution. 1t details in calm language |
an outrage well known to every one and !
one remedy sought fer. That failing, they !
will SIMPLY go away. That is all. but it is
very significant. Men with minds capable |
of being satisfied with such declarations,
after meeting to discuss wrongs as great as
can be inflicted as long as life is preserved,
are Of value 10 any place. In any intel
ligent community they will find home
and the liberty and pursui: Of happiness
necessary to it's enjoymens.
July the Telegram contained this:
From gentleman just up from DeSoto
parish. We learn the crops are looking
splendid. having been blessed with fine
rains. The only fear now is that labor will
be scarce, great many cOiored people, at
least thousand. having left the parish
during the exciting times of the last cam
palgn. On one plantation alone in Caddo
parish. small farms are rented to tive col
Dred families from DeSoto, who were con-
PEELED TO leave there. A great many went |
TO other parishes, and some into Texas.
This confirms the justice Of the resolu-
ions OF Na'chitcches. Other parishes are
Affected in the same way. Labor is driven
rom them. Politics, 0. rather the abuse of
political opinion. has cursed them. The
bone and sinew doe. not choose to stay.
The fear that there will not be sufficient
Aoor is about to become certainty.
Bat whea this strength OF the country
las gone away. when it has accepted the
'ecree of the White League. from whence
3 t. come the labor to make the crops
lock splendid" 1. will be a triumph Tor
his White League. but 81 what will the
'eop!e live! No other labor will come.
