stated, it is manifest that the public and
noisy advocacy Of general stampede of the
colored people from the South to the North is
unnecessary, and the Abandonment of grent
and paramount principle of protection to per-
son and property in every State in the Union.
1t is nm evasion of solemn obligation and
duty. The business Of the nation is to pro-
tect its citizens where they are and not TO
transport them where they will need no pro-
lection. The best that can be said of this
exodus in this respect is that il is an attempt
to climb up some other than the right way
1t is q surrender, a premature, disheartening
surrender, since it would make freedom and
free institutions depend upon emigration,
rather than protection, upon flight rather
than right, upon going into strange land
rather than by staying in ones own. 1t
leaves the whole question of equal rights upon
the soil Of the South open and still to be set
tied If the people of this country cannot be
protected in every State of the Union, the
government of the United States is shorn of
its dignity and power, and the late rebellion
has triumphod the sovereignty of the ma
ton is an empty name, and the power and
authority in individual States are greater than
the power and authority Of the United States.
