hfSOttCt, Ih0t the present emlgfOtiOn OF the col
ored people from the South, in consequence of the
wrongs inflicted upon them by the controlling
powers Of the Southern States, by the prejudice of
race, by refusing to recognize the political and
material interest Of the COlored citizens Is the best
and most eileciual mode of yindicatng their man
hood.
Ptso',ed, That It Is the right and duty of every
freeman to maintain his right OF the ballot-bux,
and IN he protected in the full enjoyment of the
same by the Government in all its ramifcationss
and the refusal or neglect to do this sewers the bonds
which should unite the citizen to the State, because
protection from wrong and outrage Is The highest
duty OF the Government
Rlso,rtd, That we hail with pleasure the uprising
OF these people In the South and their emigration
TO the great West as the hnrbngcr of brighter day
for the race recognizing the migration Of people
as the means which God, in His providence, en-
nloys to develop nations and stretch forth the lines
of human human progress Prog. .u,
boat companies TO prevent these people from NOV
ing by refusing TO allow them TO pay their passages
aud travel to their destination deserves the unqual
iicd condemnation of oil American citizens and
OF every lover of liberty and the maintenance OF
manhood IN this free land.
RCsO!rtd, That the emigrauts fleeing from oppres.
sion and murder In the South have our hearty
indosemen and prayers ior their future prosperity
and Well.bCing.
