the COLORED EXODUS.
Tho CoIored People Of WIIsnineson
hssfsting the Flying Fugitives,

At a meeting Of the Oriental Senate
last evening". action was taken on the
colored exodus from the South. After
careful and deliberate consideration OF
the subject by the members present,
the following resolutions were adop-
ted:
WHEREAS, We have heard with much
concern OF the fleeing of our brethern
from the South, caused by cruel and
nhuman treatment received at the
hands of the Southern whites for no
lust cause whatever, but for the mere
degraded will and wretched reason
that their complexion is different from
theirs, be it
ResoLccd, That a committee Of six
Senators bs appointed as committee OF
Ways and Means to solicit aid from an
ever generous public to assist our fee
ing brethren from bondage worse by
far than the pangs Of slavery ofa South
ern scourge.
RESOLVED, That said committee cor
respond with the ministers OF our
churches and solici! them to aid the
present movement on tho part of our
people and cooperate with the said COM
mittee.
The following committee was ap-
pointed: James A. Anderson, Chair
man P. S. Blake, George W. M. Ward,
James Hicks, Peter 5. Kenton and A.
R. Henry, Secretary. Persons desir-
ing to assist the said committee in rails
ing funds to contribute 10 the support
of the exodus of the colored man from
oppression and degradation can send
it to any Of the committee and it will
be thankfully received and appropria-
ted to this cause. We feel justified i'll
making this appeal to this community,
knowing that the cause Of the fugitives
is Just, and that they are actually COM
pelled by the situation Of their condi-
ton in the South to leave or be muir
Fdered in cold blood, and receive no pro.
lection whatever, at the hands of the
National or State governments.
The wrongs perpetrated on the inof-
fensive blacks have become insutferable
and intolerab.e. They can no longer
stand its oppression, but as strict obser,
vers or the law they prefer to peaceably
, quit the land of their birth and theil
native homes and flee to land among
: strangers where justice to all is said tt
reign and where every one is safe from
prowling bands of outlaws and south
, ern desperadoes. The condition tinan
cially in which he has be1n held
: by his late southern employer j:
such that it renders him a specia
and worthy object of charity from his
, brethren and the community.
Therefore we as Representatives ofth'
f fleeing fugitive, knowing the eztremt.!
t of his condition by our own, appeal tt
t this generous public to render us suct
f aid as they can possibly bear in th'
case, for it appeals direct to 40 'p1i
d vidual stronger and more vivid thai
e we can for it, a brother feels for broth
e er, and friend for friend. A mas;
# meeting to take further action on tn
e matter will be held at the Senate cham
Il Der on Monday night next to turthe
s consider this question. The publ
r are invited. A. R. HENRY, Sec'y.

John Bell, who shot Miss Robbins, his
sweetheart, and himself, is still alive.

slightly reciprocated. She wrote a
letter to him, and foolishly gave 1t to

himself. He is twenty one years old,
