Resolved. That we pray the Congress
OF the United States not toso antagonize
the race question by a reduction Of South

hatred in the South and cause a repeti-
ton OF the bloody scenes of the los of
witch the negro will be the material

Resolved, That we urge the negroes
TO lead sober, moral and industrial lives,
obey and respect the law and cultivate
the friendship of the Southern whites
from whom we get our daily bread.
Resolved, That we appeal to the
white people for legitimate protection
in the legitimate pursuance OF ourduty."
The resolutions clearly indicate that
those negroes took very intelligent
and commendable view Of the situa-
ton. They recognized the fact that
the white men OF the South are their
best friends and that to them they
must look forl protection; that any
movement tending to revive race
