said the newspapers OF Georgia had done
the negro preachers great injustice by
saying they were moi preaching TO their

did preach against such crimes; he always
did. and that the newspapers, as rule
knew as much about what the negro
preachers we're saying as a gang of mon

condition. He said the negro was brought

The Con of Races,

Fort Worth. Texas, April 29-Race wars
are nothing new. Read in the Bible where
lamar, one of Jacobs daughters, was out
ragged by one of the inferior race and how
these brothers of lamar wiped out the
whole tribe and you see there repeated
the same story in the Georgia lynehings
Denuncation by those at safe distance
from the harm is no argument and adds
nothing to the solution Of the trouble. 1t
is the duty of the dominant race to ana
lyze the cause and remedy the evil. That
it is an evil in the land none will deny,
and deplorable one all will admit, but
put yourself in the place of the people
who are impelled to act thus, and, while
all admit the remedy amounts to a frenzy
in it's application, yet there is frenzy on
the part of the race that perpetrate these
crimes.
What is more horrible than the deed
of the negro that met his fate?
What frenzy is greater than this act TO
a quiet inoffensive family. The father
murdered and the mother ravished in his
blood. Like begets like is a principle as
old as the human family, Reviling be-
gets reviling, ard while Ingersoll, who LAS
ever revied the PEOPLE of the South ejcc's
his venom at the act OF the whites Of
Georgia, he has no word to balance eli
these words condemning the crime. He
shows himself incompetent to Judge, be-
cause he is partisan.
Now let us go back little in history
and trace the cause OF these dire effects
in these lyrching horrors pervading tie
South; recently even at pana, Ill, the same
diabolical acts occurred ON the part of the
blacks, In the beginning OF this govern
rent all the thirteen States held slaves
except New Hampshire. The constitution
guaranteed their free passage and recla-
nation from State to State. The Northern
States gradually repealed these laws Of
reclamation 10 this species OF property,
and instead of allowing the free passage
OF the same from State TO State they
made II misdemeanor for owners OF
slave property to recover It after escaping
there, and emanclpated them whenever
they touched their soil, and boasted in the |
doing OF II as Gods service. This kept |
up SUCH disturbance and such a constant |
threatening of race insurrectlon In the |
south that she endeavored to peaceably |
withdraw and manage tho peculiar insti- |
luton as best she might In her own way |
