STARVING NI6GERs.

STARVING NI6GERS.
The Kansas Freedman's Relief Asso-
citation has just issued another appeal
for money to aid the exodus negroes.
It is too late to plant crops, and about
5000 must be provided with subsistence
for the next year. The sum total OF
cash thus far received from all sources
is only about &C, 900, and the associa-
ton has not dollar in the treasury.

Either let the thick-wittcd idiots
who planned this most ridiculous exo-
dus supply the wants of the fleeing
darkics, or let the niggers .starve! II
there was only an ounce of sand to a
ton of niger, he would remain in
Louisiana or old Mississippi and MAIN
tain those rights with which the Re-
publican party invested him or die in
his tracks. Will not knives cut as
deep, bullets go as swiftly and I'M
crringly, fire burn as fierccly, when
set in motion by niger as when di-
rected by white barbarians who inhabit
those regions?
He is free; let him maintain his
freedom as every other people have
done-by force. Let him burn, shoot,
stab, and-vote. A nigger's vote is as
big as anybody elsc's if he sees to it.
We have no earthly use for niger
in the North. We do not need his
vote-nor his labor, nor his society,
nor his presence in any conceivable
shape. We have no love for him, and
unless he can assert and maintain his
right to vote in the South, his destiny
is scaled.
The trouble with the Niger is that
his freedom was giUe,. him, the fran
ciise conferred on him. Ho seems to
have no more conception of their value
than n South Sea Islander, and is eter-
nally begging for protection, or for
bread and butter.
| The Sentinel appears to be the only
journal i'll the Northern States that has
| the fairness and honesty to tell the
Niger that he was liberated and en-
franchiscd in the interest of the Re-
publican party, and his proper work is
to fight and vote for it in those States
where he was at the close of tho war.

The above carries With it its own
commentary. Uncouth as the editor
evidently is, he tells tales out Of the
Republican school with o glibncss
which shows that however much he
may lack OF virtue in decent consider
alton of the colored race, he at least
has tho merit Of being honest. For
| the paper from which we take tho
| above is q Republican stalwart pub
lished in tho Massachusetts of the West,
(Ia.) There is much solid meat in this
| article for our people to digest. 1t
shows clearly that whatever may be
| the grievances which, drive our people
to seek relief and homes in tho West,
they are not welcomed In tho move
mont by the masses of the Republican
party. We are liked, pampered and
petted only as we remain in the South
and interpose our lives and fortunes in
! upholding the Republican cause. When
wo dare to leave this section and go
where party necessity docs not call for
our votes, we are then only ssniggers''
with Republicans as with Democrats
and nothing more. In the indiscrimi-
nate exodus mania which deluged us
in the Spring, tho Louisianian eau
toned our people against hasty ac-
ton. It showed that all things con-
sidercd, the hattie of life can for us be
better fought here than in tho North.
! It showed that by perseverance, indus
try, and manly attitude to meet the
future we can be no worse, but arc
likely to better our condition.. In con-
frmation OF this, VIC have here a Re-
publican paper telling US in plain, Wig
orous English to shoot, stab, slay and
| to burn like other people who are out
ragged in their rights, and that what
ever VIC do, must be done right here
in the South, il we would have the res
poet of tho country. The editor of the
Sentinel closes with the exhortation,
500 back, darkey-go back" And in
reply we therefore say may it not be
we'll for our people to stay here p
