ArA meeting of the negro national
equal rights association in Washington
last night the chief secretary made a
speech, in which he said his belief was
that the white Christianity of the
North. blinded by race affinity and
color prejudice, bad become the silent
approyer OF all the grieyous wrongs
which, he alleged, were done his race by
the white people of the South. The
white people of the South have good
sense. and as they have to depend to a
large eXtsnt upon negro labor, their de-
sire is to please, rather than to irritate,
that class of labor. They, therefore, do
negroes no wrong. But there is no
doubt Of the fact, that as more ne
groes go North, and as the people
of that section become more familiar
with the latter, they are the
more disposed to look upon the white
people of the South, rather than the
negroes, as the wronged race in this
section of the country.
