NEGRO APOL0GISTS.

There Is certain sentimentibility
among certain col0red men in thi 5
country that actuate them to give
expression to thoughts that are
characteristic of apologists and
;rimmers. We have read after these
apologists in the public press which
constants US to conclude tha
they are more dangerous and dam
aging to the race than those who
commit brutal offenses. These apol-
ogists give the races oppressors
the necessary excuse to continue
their fiendish acts againstthe race.
For self aggrandlzement these
men will place themselves in an
an,agonistic position to everything
that tends to advance an oppressed
people. Organization among the
colored people, We mean a political
organization, is bound to be a
failure because there are so many
political trimmers aud would be
leaders among them who will
slcrifice every principle of right
to advance their own polite Il inter
ests. They ride into power aad
fame upon the backs of the honest
negro who is struggling for exist
ence and after they are we'll placed
in office they are too cowardly 10
open their mouths to condemn
wrongs. The whites will respect
a negro who is an apologist and
trimmer. Snch a man is regarded
a great man among some people
who have the power to appoint.
The manly and brave negro has
no place among this class.

Notwithstanding the fact, that he

ed man because he dares to
exercise his rights and express his
opinion. They mistreat him be-
cause the labor class is in excess of
the demand. If emigration was
resJrted to for the purpose of
draining the East Of its surplus
labor, why wont it have the same
wholesome effect upon the colored
people at the South? When we
bear In mind the fact that the
chances of accumulating property
at the South are becoming less and
less in proportion to the increase of
property of the whites, we will not
be surprised. We must shift our
surplus labor to localities where
there will be demand for it and
those localities can be found in the
North and West, the beautiful,
growing, unprejudiced, liberal and
magnanimous North and West.
The colored people must have land.
They must place themselves under
such political and material condi-
tions as will expand the instincts
of manhood and independence.
The South is not the place which is
calculated to develop manhood and
womanhood. 1t is hotbed of
treason, of prejudice and race
hate. Let 100000 laborers
leave the South, where they are
ekeing out a miserable existence,
with no prospect of improvement.
Let US organize. Let US contribute
funds whereby thousands of honest
colored families may find work at

TO THE PROMISE LAND.

The time has come when the
colored people must think and act
for themselves. We can no longer
rely upon the friendship or dispo-
sltion of any party. More than
once party leaders have intimated,
in no uncertain numbers, that they
can no longer make US the object
of their special solicitude, that
they have ebolstered and propped,
protected and defended us long
enough and that we must now
strike out for ourselves, assured of
their moral support and encourage
ment. They have said TO Us "util-
izs your elective force, your native
intelligence and acquired expert
ence and culture In the formation
of such political and social move
ments as shall tend to produce
unity Of purpose, touching the
surest means Of your moral, mental
and material development and We
will help you all we can This
they have said and this they mean,
Now the question which rings out
as clear and unmistakable as the
81 we
make practicable those constitu-
tional and statutory provisions
which have declared our equality
of citizenship and secure to our
selves and our chi dren the fullest
enjoyment of all the privileges and
immunities to which in cur civil
capacity, We are entitled: Our
destiny is in our own hands. We
can by the lack of unity, by failing
to appreciate the proper methods
of remede to be resorted to, destroy
our chances of full emancipation.
But this must not be. The white
people Of the South are not just.
After having stolen from us the
wages Of $50 yaars toll, after hav-
ing bound Us in mental as well as
physical fetters, after having re-
ceived our protection, support and
while they were COM
Fletely at our mercy after sur
us with the most demor-
alizing social evils, they still persist
in withholding all sympathy and
all encouragement. From the close
of the civil war to the present time
the treatment Of the southern
whites toward the colored people |
has been simply brutal. Ku Klux
whiteli ners, redshirts, the
scum of the earth, spreading riots,
bloodshed, devastation ana misery
have followed the colored people
whenever they manifested the
spirit of true manhood. How we
can remedy this condition is a
matter whleh We should seriously
We perform about all of
the manual labor at the South. |
What would be the effect upon our
white prosecutors, if a movement |
ever were made TO quiet that Sec
BIon? When they see the laborers
leave their farms, their worksho ps, |
and their plantations, would they !
not call halt and promise to deal
honorably with them ? When they
see skInnV-hnger starvation star

not stop to consider the enormity
Of their hellish methods ?
