we pray you, therefore. before surrendering
him, to see that his security is provided for
and to procure from the Governor Of South
Carolina warranty that his life shall be safe
during transit and while on trial for the offense
with which he is accredited at home.
we feel our national honor jeopardized in
this matter, we have record unsullied either
through revolution or rebellion, and we de-
mand that record preserved in its purity, and
If it should be stained, let it be with the blood
OF tyrant or a traitor and not with that of
suffering humanity.
Already four lives have been sacrificed for
completely in the tumult from which emanated
the crime referred to in Flemon's case, and not
one of the victims received the semblance Of a
trial; may we not then be pardoned for looking
with suspicion upon the legal demands of a
State noted for its lawlessness and its can
culinary persecution of the colored race.
