THE NEGROEs' SIDE on IT.



Boston, June 1s.--Joseph W. Hsnd srson
OF Providence. editor of the New Eng
land Torchlight and foundsr Of the Anne
rican Protective league, an organization
Of colored people, for the securing OF
their rights, delivered an address in the
Park street church today, in which he
replied to the recent speech Of ex-Goyer-
nor Northen Of Georgia, With reference
to the recent Southern outrages upon
colored people. Said Mr. Henderson,
ut 10 not necessary at this date of
American history for me to make any
reply to Gov. Northen's dramatic defense
of human slavery. But had I been an
owner of human beings, and man kill
Ing dogs as he has been, and since writ
tsn my name among the followers OF
Christ, would have felt more like CON-
Ing up TO the altar Of repentance at this
stage Of reform, than TO have to come to
ons Of the greatest cities In the world
with q typewriter defense of the most
cruel Institution Of human debeauohery
ever known to civilized or savage man.
"Gov. Northen declares that he did
not come North to apologies for the
South. IL he did not apologize he offered
excuses for the South In nbundan,e. What
hope can there be for the negro's future
liberty In the Southland when Gov.
Northen says that the South stands
abreast OF all other nations and will con-
tinue Its way Of governing until bet
ter people, or better governments are
formed elsswherei That means that the
negro must continue TO be robbed of his
manhood rights, forced to ride In Jim
Grow cars, deprived OF his right Of fran.
chise, or lynched without cause until the
Southerners shall conclude that they
have found somebody who are better than
they"
Continuing. MIR. Henderson said:
"But misoegenation in the South has
already taken place. II has bean on the
road over 300 years Not misceeenation
by law, but by brute force, which is the
very worst form Of law. Who started IL?
Not the negroes I am sure; nor was it
the 'po' white trash. 1t was the blue
vein aristocracy of the South that broke
over the fence, defied all law, and the re-
suit Is we have black negros and white
negros--some Of them as white as Gov.
Northen.
MANY Southern aristocrat has played
the part Of the alleged Sam Hose at a
black woman's donr. But he did it with
the perfect understanding that no human
hands should ohastiss him. The brute
forcs Of the slave master marked the be.
ginning Of this racial 'ntermsxture. and
1t Is going on now with increased rapid.
ty.
"One seldom hears of the wholesale as
saults that Southern white men are max
ing upon oolorsd women; but they are as
constant as the rising and setting of the
sun. Go South and count the penitenti-
AIRY born children whose mothers are col
ored and W hose fathers white. That tells
the story"
