To the Editor Of the Examiner
Whenever war was waged between
two tribes of African negroes, the
captives were sold into slavery.
From this source America got their
labor that opened her warm climates
TO agriculture. The slave trade still
exists in the Soudan, and IT was to
put it down that the English General
Gordon lost his life recently at khnr-
toum, in conflict with the Arabs. In
his letter published III this mornings
ExAMINER, l.. q. Jordan, the colored
explorer. says he has heard them (the
native Africans of Liberia) pray for
their oppressed brethren in the far of
land (America) until he would burst
into tears. But elsewhere he admits,
'fhey look mp to us anu call the new
corners Big Mericon." Now this
should teach the southern negroes
that ~ slavery has greatly elevated
them above tho descendants of the
| Africans, who sold their ancestors
into American bondage. Most saw
ages melt away in the presence ofthe
whiteman |. q. the Ameri-
can Indian. The Cubans carried
Indians from Florida TO work
in the mines. AT given date they
met in TIL mines aud all committed
suicide. They could not be cnslavcd
nor could they be civilized. The Jews
were wandering tribe of desert ma
raudcrs until civilized by bondage in
Egypt. The most fruitful cause of dis
ease among savages Is the attempt to
wear clothes. AS my ancestors were
Foreigners, can speak to the negroes
unbiased by any attempt TO Justify
the retention of slavery la the south.
The south especial, opposed its in-
PRODUCTION. Old England and Now
England in the main forced slavery
upon Virginia aud the south. Then
when Whiting invented the cotton
gin slavery became apparently profit
able. The south has been uined by
slavery; the negroe has been inmeas.
urably benefited by II. If the south
ern negroes want now to benefit
themselves, the native Africans and
the south rs well, let them emigrate al
once to Africa. The free state of the
Congo affords better opening than
Liberia; aud the peaceful solution oil
the problem of African elevation IL
most hopeful among the descendants
of a race who once most remorselessly
crushed out the old Brituns
who now grind the Irish under the
iron heel of despotism; who use
in India the descendants of one of the
greatest people that ever inhabited
the earth, rs their hewers of wood and
drawers OF water, and who for cen
: turtles have never tolerated any race
TO share with them the governing
power. For these reasons | think
Jordan's mission ia a wise one; and
hope he may find on their native
shores an asylum for the negroes o
the south, especially rs they seem e
regard themselves rs oppressed here
! II is Improbable that they will in thu
future exercise as much power In tn,
: United States ~ they did in the err,
that has just ended by the accession o
the democratic party to power. Thu
republican party, embittcred by war
: put the negroes at times in position
merely to humiliate the southern
whites; but even If II should return
to power after the next presidential
election II will be by that time deprived
of much of its luminosity. The whit,
race will govern America, rs witness
its course towards the Chinese. Tn,
negroes will do an act of unmixeC
good to emigrate at once. They
should not hesitate to go.
