coed IL carrying it through IN spite ot the
feeble objections. which are: ~,
]. That the negro Will not move. pc
answer 10 that is we never have tred 10
move them. So far from II. We have
thrown every obstacle In the way, ~ we
see a. the present time IN North Carolina
and Notwithstanding this they are moving
TO other southern States IN thousands. no

question, although led by bad men OF the

material election.
2. The second objection is that after oo-
tainiug their consent 20 20 it would cost
too much and the needed transportation
could not be obtained TO carry them away
for their fccUudity IS so great That tbtI
would breed faster than we could export ana

made by you, Mr.. Editor. Now, NahI

3. The third objection 10 this great pro-
/ Ject IS the obstacles that will be thrown "a
the way by the landowners, farmers, ana
employers Ia the South, many OF whom
were the former owners of these people,
