Joseph w. Henderson, of Providence.
founder of the American Protective

people for the securing OF their rights,
delivered an address In the Spark
street church, Boston, a few days ago,
| In which he replied TO the recent spe sch
OF Ex-Gov. Northen of Georgia, with
reference to the southern outrages upon
colored people.
Said Mr. Henderson: 1T Is not We

been an owner of human beings and
man-killing dogs, as he has been, and
since written my name among the fol-

slavery utterances even with n sneer.
Gov. Northen says that miscegena-

the South. But mlscegenation In the
South has already taken place. II has
been on the road over two hundred
years. Not miscegenation by law, but
by brute force, which is the very worst
form OF law. Who started It? Not the
negroes, l am sure, nor was 1t the poor
white trash. 1t was the blue vein aris-
tocracy of the South that broke over
the fence. defled all law, and the result
is we have black negroes and white
negroes. some Of them as white as
Gov. Northen.
The Increase OF miscegenation in
the South Is due chiefly to three causes,
namely-force, financial persecution
and discernible willingness on the part
of both sexes of both races.
