What Has Become of the Exodus?
Mr. Editor: A few weeks ago
our sable hued citizens were much
exercised on this subject and large
gatherings were held with a vie'w to
arousing an interest in a movement
which, if successfully planned and
executed, might have benefitted
this city immensely by relieving us
of the drones of that race which are
constantly leaving the country
where their labor is in demand and
flocking here to live in idleness and
on their wits in a city. The writer
predicted then that nothing would
come of tf i is much boasied exodus.
History since the beginning records
but one saccessful exodus ofa whole
people and it took 40 years to ac
complish it then, how could the
negroes expect to be more highly
favored than the Israelites. A race
without an ancestry, which harbors
no malice and is incapable of enter
taining the finest quality of the hu
man heart gratitude is not fitted to
found an empire, to lead any great
movement or to establish them
selves in a community, whether that
community be one of the sisterhood
of States or a single county or vil
lage. It is plainly apparent to even
a casual observer that those who
expected relief from this seven days
wonder are doomed to bitter dis
appointment.
Then, too, those who had hoped
to see a white immigration take the
place of the present negro labor
will look in vain for such a substi
tntion so devoutly to be. wished.
Some portions of this State have
been more fortunate in this particu
lar. but notwithstanding all the
