special committe Of Congress, OF which
committee Senator Voorhees,, Of lndi-
ana. is chairman, as to the causes OF
the negro exodus from the South to the
free States OF the North, and as that
committee is composed of three Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans, every effort
will b. made by it to give every reason
but the right one, in order that the
crimes of the Southern Democracy
against humanity and the laws OF the
country may not be exposed. Every
sensible man that knows anything
about negro character, knows as rule
that they are great lovers OF home, the
old family Preside and the cabin in
which they were born presenting to
them such strong and peculiar attrac'
tons that of their own yolition they
but seldom wander, away from them.
If it Is really the intention of the COM
mittee referred to, to ascertain the true
causes of the negro exodus, and to have
the causes removed, the investigation
might be beneficial, but who ever ex-
poets partisan committee, appointed
in the heat of partisan strife, to arrive
at the truth and report the true facts
of the exodus to the country The
plain truth is already before the PEG
pie. The flying thousands OF negroes
from bondage worse than slavery, At
tests the severity Of their treatment
and their desire to reach country
where they can enjoy the civil and po-
litical rights guaranteed to them by the
amended constitution Of the nation. |!
thew were treated as they should be,
they would gladly remain in the place
of their nativity, and build up the
waste places. What fooIishness then
to waste thousands OF dollars IN
iunketting around the country trying
to collect soms kind Ct forced and un-
tuthful " dence 20 De eve the people
in regard % the uu' clu3es of the ne
geo exodus |. is worse than foolish,
it is wicked. Mr.. Voorhees, and his
purity may 8 well s4tti4 down to the
fact that he colcred people themselves
know bett .r han anybody else the
true canes OF heir self-eXpatriation
ON the land If their nativity to meet
the rigors of a colder climate and to
tn It the XII dless and hospitality OF a
p,oole y h. t. thtm are comparative
strlnrsrs. After Mr.. Voorhees, has
done the work his Democratic col
leagues appointed him to do and expect
him to do, and reports facts not trus,
what farther viii e do about it OF how
will h9 stop thi3 negro exodus' III the
DAYS of slavery the flying fugitiVea
we're caught b. United States officials
and returned to their bondage and
chains, but it 50 happens nov that
thesa people have as much right to life,
liberty and happiness as Mr.. VOORHEES,
