At full meeting of the Committee OF
Safety this afternoon preamble and rcso-
lutious !were adopted with reference to
the action OF the negroes in Directing
TO going into camp. The resolutions
concede the right OF the colored people
to think and act for their own good
assert that in forming camps the COM
mittee are acting under the advice and
with the approval OF official representatives
of the State and the United States; that
only by camps is it possible to guard against
idle people intruding upon the city to draw
rations; that no unjust determinations
against the colored people are made in form
ing and carrying into effect these plans, as
is shown by the fact that OF the regular pO-
lice force on duty at night one third are
colored men. all details OF volunteer COM
panies for day service are colored men, and
tbe same supplies are dealt ont in charity to
the sick in colorcd families as in white. In
submitting such facts to the Judgment OF
absent property-oWners - and to the
general public for their guidance, the
committee further testify that in
making choice between their own
policy and that OF the malcontents the
latter must assume the grave responsibility
OF keeping human life exposed for long
months to great peril; they must count
upon the wastiHg OF much charity on ldlcrs
who sneak into the town. and must not DE
surprised il numbers OF those now engaged
in relieving want and suffering shall in de-
spair abandon their ardu0us work and
leave the misguided people to their fate.

tain james Glass (colored member OF the
