Western appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1885-18??, 1888-12-29

reveals the fact that the white men of
the South hate the Negro citizens with
! a hatred that is innplacable, malignant
and undying. So deep and strong is
this hatred, that grave senators are lead
by it to the perpretration Of deeds that
would put Jessie James to the blush.
The whole South has laid aside every
principle of justice, honor, law and con-
science and has with barred arms entered
in upon carnival of blood. Unless de-
cisiye steps are taken for the defensive,
within five years the whole order Of
things in the South will be reversed and
the Negro will be the sufferer. On the
| slightest of excuses, the whole of a
Southern community unites to murder
Negroes. Let one white man attack a
Negro and be defeated, then score of
white men unite to Stay the victor;
should his friends arise to his defense,
the press join the mob in shouting Sin
surrection'' and the state is ready to
send her armed forces to the support OF
the cut-throat band. Who ever heard
of Southern courts or governors inter-
posing to protect Colored citizens from
white MODS; who ever heard of item
failing to use their full power to conquer
any Negro or body of Negroes that were
with any show of success defending
themselves against the whites? The
SOUTH IS DETERMINED TO TAKE THE RIGHTS
| OF CITIZENSHIP FROM THE BLAcKMAN, that
is the long and short of the whole mat
ter. Within tee last few weeks the Jud-
son Female Institute at Marion, Ga,
was burned to the gaound, and now
comes the tidings that Lincoln Normal
Institute has shared the the same fate.
A religious Southern papea said editor
ially; "The North and the Negro shall
never again rule the South, ballot or no
ballot, count or no count" The fervid
Grady but a few days ago said; Every
white youth must vow that the white
man shall rule the South" These ex-
pressions are made in deadly earnest,
and are backed up by murders, outrages,
crimes and frauds that are unparalleled
in the history of mans inhumanity to
man. For any Negro to stand still and
let these Hellish things 60 on, without
having done his part to protect his suf-
fering brother in the South, is rank
cowardice. We ARE NOT HELPLESS THERE
is A WAY OF SALVATION. The Negro can
be rescued from the folds of the He'll
born anaconda that with Develish ma
lice full, seeks to destroy him. THERE
! is WAY, AND A LAWFUL WAY. Let the
Negroes Of free and glorious Minnesota
be the ones to take the first step. The
Times are ripe for action, let feasible
plan once be presented and all the Ne
groes and their friends will rally to it.
Every Colored citizen of st. Paul, ire
spective of party, denomination, or oc-
cupation is now invited to consider this
matter. Sunday night Dec. 3Oth, great
mass meeting of Colored citizens will be
held at st. James Church, corner of Full
Ter and Jay street. Rev. +. NJ. Hender-
son, will present the issue as it is. The
pastors and congregations of the various
churches will be invited to be present,
and the pastors will be invited to preach
series of sermons on this subject.
This is great race question, let us unite
in it's consideration, laying aside what
ever difference that may divide as on
smaller issues. Don't forget the date,
Dec. 3Oth, Sabbath night 1880 D. m.
let every lover of his race be present
at st. James Church. Each and eyery
Colored citizen is cordially invited.
This meeting is only attended to place
the issue before every body, and will be
followed up by ceaseless, tireless efforts,
until all the influence and strength of
the Negro and his friends in the land
have been concentrated. Go and hear.
