In urging heretofore the distribution Of
our colored citizens more generally through
out the country, we have not been unmind-
ful Of the practical impossibilitY Of a com
p!ete exodus OF the negro population now
so strongly rooted at the south; but II is
certain that a large distribution of this
population in all directions has been in
steady progress for some years, apd It
would take but little encouragement, with
organized aid and wise management, to in
crease II greatly. The twofold result, In a
political view, would be the personal and
civil security and elevation Of the negroes
migrating to communities where their
status before the law would be recognized
and protected, and corresponding benefit
to those left behind, by reason Of the very
diminution Of their numbers-this diminu-

finds respect for its rights and manhood.
Even in Texas, already, there have been
significant recent indications that the value
Of the negro, both as laborer and citizen,
must be recognized with corresponding
recognition Of his civil and political equal
ity. There 1t was Il threat that the negro
