FEB Is, 1879.
DEAR FRIEND: Your letter has been re-
ccivcd. l can't say what caused the delay. 1t
has been on the road some fifteen days.
| think the Window resolution tho best
thing that has been introduced in the United
States Congress looking to the interest of the
black man, and the prayers of grateful people
are offered to Almighty Col for the welfare of
the distinguished aud humane Senator. /
thank God there is one man in the United
States Senate who has the manhood to speak
out for the poor black man. | have talked
with our friends. and they all speak alike upon
the question of immigration. There is not a
black man in this section hut is willing to
leave, providing he had somewhere to 80. They
are more than willing. Yes, for the love of
God, give us somewhere to co. where, after our
days work is done we can lie down on our
beds and sleep In safety and quictncss, and
fear no danger of being taken out and hung or
whipped to death.
There is no time that the black man in this
country is safe, except when he will kiss the
hand that is upliited to strike him to the
earth Yes, give us country where we can
worship God as we should, and where our
churches, schools, and homes will not be in.
vaded as they are here by murdercrs and by
those who delight in pr osttuting our wives
and daughters.
The American people speak of the Chinese
as being barbarians, but the bull.dozcrs here
are greater barbarians than the hcathcn Chi
nose or any other people on the globe.
The Democratic party shows by its actions
that If once in power they will onslave the
negro race, il possible. If the Government
can't protect those il made free--if l cannot
be allowed to live unless | will join the party
that wanted to extend slavery all over this
land, prefer to die.
We are the creatures of tho Republican party,
politically, and they ought to stand by us.
But. my dear friend the Window resolution
will never pass in the lower House of Congress
until the Republican party is in the majority.
The Democrats of the South in Congress would
never consent to any measure that woAld COM
pei their friends to go to work. If the colored
man should leave here the United States Con-
gress would have to make an appropriation TO
keep these old Democratic devils from starving
to DEATH They will not work rs long as they
have any one they can rob- The reason they
want the Chnaman kept away from this coun-
try is because they cannot rob him. +" q
