INSTRUMENTATION IN MISSISSIPPI

We are compelled to blush
for our race, at the relation OF
a case of miscegenation which
occurred lately in the county
Of Marion, a young negro fell
low, called Victor Saucier,
eloped with a white girl nam
ed Brooks. The infamous pair
were seen vending their way
soutllward. and were charged
with burglariously entering a
dwelling house on their route
temporarily unoccupied. Some
time subsequently the negro
was reported found dead, with
six bullet holes in his body,
the shameless wretch in wo-
mans form unfortunately for
her race, made her escape.
We also learn through a
letter from Columbia, that a
Sheriff's posse composed of
David Winburn, Thos. Mc~
Donald and Wilman Pope,
were out bear-hunting, one
night last week, and came

THE COLORED EXODUS.

THE COLORED EXODUS.
Below we present tho views of
Fred Douglass on the wholesale
emigration Of his race into Kan
sas, as expressed in a recent open
letter
I cheerlully accept your offer o:
limited space in your columns, in
which to state the grounds Of my
opposition to the o-called colored
exodus. I am, briefly, opposed to
that movement, because it IS not
the proper solution of the Southern
question. That question will not
be solved and cannot be solved un-
til the constitutional provisions
guaranteeing equal rights shall be
peacefully executed in every State
of the Union, South as we'll as
North. / am opposed 10 their ex-
odus, because it is a wretched sub
stitute for the fulfiIlment of the
national obligations by which the
Government is held and firmly
bound to prote every American
citizen, of whatever color, upon
any and every part of the American
domain. I am opposed to this ex-
odus because it is an untimely con-
cession to the idea that colored
people and white people cannot
live together in peace and prosper
.ity unless the whites are majority,
and control the legislation and hold
the Offices of the State. I am OPP
posed to this exodus, because it will
cast upon the people of Kansas and
other northern States multitude
of dcluded, hungry, homeless, nak-
ed, aud destitute people, to be sup
ported in large measure by aims.
I am opposed to this exodus, be-
cause it will enable our political
adversa1ies to make Successful ap-
peals topopular prejudice, (as in the
case of the Chinese) on the ground
that these people, so ignorant
and helpless. have been imported
for the purpose of making the
north solid by outvotiDg intelligent
white northen citizens. I am op-
posed to this exodus, because roll
ing stones gather no moss, and I
agree with Emerson, that the men
who made Rome or any other local
ito worth going to see staid there.
There is in my judgment no part
of the United States where an in
telligent colored maa can serve his
race more wisely and efficiently
than upon the soil where he was
born and reared and is known. I
am opposed to this exodus, becaase
l see IN it a tendency to convert
colored laboring men into travelling
tramps, first going north because
they are prosecuted, and then re-
turning south because they have
been deceived and disappointed in
their expectations; who will excite
against themselves and against our
whole race an increased measure
Of popular contempt and scorn. I
am opposed to this exodus, because
I believe that the conditions of ex-
istence in the southern States are
steadily improving, and that the
colored man there will ultimately
realize the fullest measure of liber-
ty and equality accorded and se.
cured in any section of our common
country.
1t is all nonsense (aad perhaps
something worse) and almost be-
Feliciana sentinel., 1879-05-17

meath contempt to compare the
evils (great as they are) from which
the colored man is now fleeing to
the north With those endured by
colored men in the time of slavery.
The men who make this compari-
son with view to convict me Of
Inconsistency know that there is
nothing analogous in the two situ-
ations. There the black man was
chattel-now he is a man and a
man among men. Then the black
man was u s]ave-now he is free
man. Then the black man had no
legal or constitutional rights which
anybody was bound to respect
now he has all the lega! and con-
stitutional rights which are guar
anteed to the most exalted citizcn
of the Republic. It is true that
these rights have been in many in
stances cloven down by violence,
and that for the present the consti-
tuition is inoperative-but shall we,
who have borne so many hardships
and outrrges, and seen so many
changes in our favor, now throw
up the sponge, abandon our vantage
ground Of position, which is nine
points of the law. and go among
strangers in pursuit Of homes in a
cold and uncongeniai climate, rath.
cr than remain on the soil Of our
birth. where we may 1.-Two down
persecution =? If there is any part
of the United States to which the
negro has a stronger claim for
peaceful residence than any other,
that part is that lying south Of Ma
son and Dixon's line. Whatever
the South is in point Of wealth and
civilization the negro has made
her. His labor has converted the
Southern wilderness into fruitful
fields, and dotted them about with
comfortable homes. His arm has
leveled the forests, extra cted the
stumps, reclaimed her waste places,
graded her roads, supported her
commerce, developed her resources
in word, he has titled her soil
with hard hands, moistened it with
his sweat, and enrichened it with
his blood, and has a claim to re-
main on her soil against all comers.
Armed as the negro is now, with
legal and constitutional guarantees, +,
and being the muscular. and labor
ing arm of the South, I cannot yet
believe that with these advantages
he is so destitute Of mutual power
that he can not make living terms
with those who want his lnbor,
and who must have it or accept
poverty and ruin instead. My
counsel to him, therefore, is to bide
his time, to labor and wait, in the
full assurance that time and events
will sooner or later establish his
rights in the south upon enduring
foundations.
l have seen many attempts to
lash colored men iuto schemes Of
emigration. I am old enough to
remember the Haytian emigration
scheme fifty -four years ago an
other to the British West Indies
forty years ago. mother still to
Central America sixteen years ago
and they only served to upsettle
the minds Of the colored people,
deranging their plans of enterprise
frem hone improvements, and were
transient, as I believe this one will
be- The hundreds may go, but
the millions will stay behind, and
will finally have their wisdom in
so doing rewarded with peace and
prosperity.
