FRED DOUGLASS AGAINST THE EXODUS.
Washington Telegram. %.

Wv s1sIbt SSs
At a meeting of the colored brethren
held here to discuss the negro exodus,
Fred Douglas said that it was somewhat
singular that this did not occur until the
introduction of the Window bill, proposing
to set apart a western territory for the
negro. He denied that this exodus was a
solution Of the question as TO the destiny of
the negro. He believed that the negro
could live down the prejudice. He had
been mobbed in fremont Temple; insulted
on cars and steamboats, in Massachusetts,
and you might have said then there was no
protection for the negro; but today there is
protection there. There was a time when
the Irish were insulted; when %convicts were
burned, and in New York the brains of in.
FAINT negroes had been dashed out against
the lamp-posts, but it was not 80 now. He
had faith that the people of the south
among whom were some bad men, will ace
that they are doing wrong, and will vet
respect the negro. Mr.. Douglass then refer.
red to the condition Of colored people in
Kantas, reading from the Cherokee Advo.
cate, and a letter from Rev. Mr.. Watson
indorsing Mr.. Douglass position, and he
remarked that there is every reason to be-
lieve that these people will not be vel,
treated there. He would say stand at you
