THE NAV YORK Herald says /:

1T is the duty of the intelligent and con.
sclentious leaders ofthe colored South to tell
their people all over the South plainly that
they have no hep to expect from northern
sympathy ; that federal election laws, even
If they could pass, would not benefit them,
and would be repealed in two years uoder
the stress Of northern indignation and oppo
sitiou and that they ought no longer to
allow themselves to be banded togetherl 10
,heir States in a "eolid" macs, not forming
p political ptrty, but only a political moo.
It is their duty to teach their people that
thew must vote as .hey think and not as re
publican demagogues urge them to-"
Now this is good advice, and shows that
the Herald. when it has a mind hat way,
need not be SO ignorant about the true con.
dition of southern affairs as it sometimes
seems to be.

AT MICRO meeting in q negro church in
Washington last Sunday night one of the
speakers, Rev. G. W. Lee, said his race
would ask nc appropriation TO escape from
this country, bus "would refer to the meth.
DDS Of slavery in the past and the political
duplicity of the present, which have left the
white citiz ns in an untitled condition to be
capable of legislation for o Christian nation"
The republican attempts to make the me-
sroes dominant in those southern communi-
ties in which they have numerical ma1orities
are not urged with force and persistence
enough to suit tbs negro preachers. Hence
the above and recent similar slaps, from
similar sources, at the republican majority
