an American citizen and in the enjoyment
of his freedom as a member of society.
so long as the rights of the humblest
citizen are trampled on with impunity
civilization fails of it's purpose and the
ends of government are subverted Men
do not respect institutions that are not
potential in scope and execution. Paper
blockades are not recognized in the laws
OF nations, nor are they respected by the
powers of the world. To receive recogni-
ton they must be effective in execution.
In every walk of life men want the thing
offered to be perfect sample as a pat
tern of what is to follow.
BLOW AIMED AT CASTE.
'The white people of this country claim
to be superior to the Afro-American, and
the Afro-American demands proof Of that
superiority The first attribute of a su-
per1or nature is its consideration for the
weak and the humble .-. ~
Did the slave trader comply with that
condition when he separated husband and
wife, violated the sanctity of the Afro
Americans fireside and tore the helpless
babe from its mothers breast and sold
him for sordid gold to distant parts?
What wrong had the Afro-American done
him? What wrong does the Afro-Amer-
lean do him now?
Another evidence of superiority is to
suffer long and be patient Had half the
ro-Amer1can people of this country by the
whites of a certain section been visited
by Afro-American people Of that section
upon the whites. the land had hardly
been able to contain the graves Of the
dead. For $50 years the Afro-American
women Of the South were oppressed by
the best blood of that section, and the
mixed blood in our population is largely
due to that fact. They were then sowing
to the wind andanow they are 'reaping
the whirlwind.' . .'- -.
when the white men were away fight
Ing to dethrone the stars and stripes and
to erect in it's stead the emblem of the
Southern Confederacy we had their
women at our mercy and could have
slain them, but our superior nature as
serted itself and not hair of their
heads was harmed. On which side of
the balance should superiority be placedq

RESOLUTIONS.
The Afro-American council. in con-
vention assembled, recognizing the grave
crisis which this country has reached
and desiring, with all good citizens, the
highest welfare of this our common
fatherland, recommends and Endorses the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That it is the duty of the
United States government to see that the
life and property of it's citizens are not
taken from them without due process Of
law, and to this end we shall solemnly
demand such national and constitutional
legislation as shall at least secure as
great protection from mob violence to
American citizens as is today afforded
citizens of foreign countries resident
here. We affirm that the widespread
crime Of lynching and intimidating per-
sons accused of lawbreaking, without af-
fording them judge, jury Or legal trial, is
an offense against civilization which de-
mands punishment, and we believe that
it lies in the power Of congress to en-
act such repressive legislation as shall

We again enter our protest against the
whole penal system Of the South, and
urge the abolition of the convict lease
system. We urge that institutions for ju-

female conyicts be separated from male
