fk. Northerner's Views on the Negro
j^ostion
A Georgia Letter to the Woburn(Mass.)
Journal.
It was during the autumn of I® 70
.tint i left the deck of the Star of the
E »t at her wha f iu Charleston liar-
l>or, and l)-gan life in a new country
and among strangers. The little
Knowledge I pos-esmd then of the
Mnatxy t had euterod-of its clim.it.,
•ptodyictions and people, was ubout the
anna total of an average. Northerner’s
Jo-day. That was a place where the
/orange and banana grew, where the
.entt'in -bio., H,o
anannfiictiiivra of New England with
food for their looms was produced
,i|itjd re flowers in winter Ifitd been carpeted told
tjfieearUi with beapty,
me by jtho dear old pedagogue of tny
l>oyliood days. I also knew th U there
had been a difference of opinion as to
.tfie right t.o possess as property a race
of people knowu as “negroes,” and
that the question bad been argued
wiih bo,t shot and cold ste. 1 and de-
.cided negatively. On hoard the Star
the darkey who waited oil the officers
and .cabin passengers tofd grim stories
fit tlie way in which these negroes had
Jinen treated by their former owners
*iu,ce their emancipation; pf their ter¬
rible sti,ugg'e for bare existence; of
pxjAtfletfi in cId blood, diitltodica! out
•rage* perpetrated, soul not the. slight¬
est opportunity piyeu for redress of
,theii wrongs in tl;« courts or by the
peopje. Ro field me individually, and
j# tones fit horror, that the beautiful
,city we were then approaching bud
J>6e$ bashed in the blood of this
poor, do^QHtro^defl people and bade
auo count the number of times tlusn
r t>«ing£ would bo assaulted on my
.days life in the South. This was
kkuew of the Southern couutry—
B Kieie tnd I have since learned to love,
I hav« lived and labored
fcjeu hiu gyear And this is ail
HB^Puy-aL-ho^ Hjirevo" fiiends kuow
■Ppiess and wlU partisan ktfow so representa- lonc^a-a
i, »wave the “blocdy shirt” of sei
■1 hate find continue to misrepre¬
sent a people noble in their integrity,
£Tandjn their ,devotion to all that is
worthy of the veu«ra ( ioo of a true
people, nnd sublime in their love of
dependence. I linva wandered
Through the Carolinas, I have lived in
the wilds of Florida and have visited
.every section of the grand old State
M>»t .Is bow my home, and have yet
£o witness n mnglo act of oppression
.o^ wilful mistreatment on the part of
the dominant race towards those
,wbom they oi.ee claimed and ivcog-
pizi only us property. The negro to¬
day is free-free to work, five to think,
free to act for himself in all mutters
relating to his own individual comfort
and yell being, ^u^tlier than this, free
,dom does nothing for him, Socially,
he is no more a p ut of the Southern
family than the mule he drives, and
,whou he endeavors to overstep Hie
line of social distinction he makes nu
.enemy of those with whom he comes
in contact. It is theu he starts the
firjfit! “persecution’’ which is echoed
by his bretbron of the North, and
which drops finally into the hearts oi
the Northern people, there to be enta-
iogqed, along with n thousand other
' •• ^presentations, as a new instance
Sontbern oppression. Politically,
he ig not to be trusted, ns his iguor^
once and greed make him the tool of
political tricksters I shall in another
letter givann idea of what the negro
in the South really is. We have
them ip the old Bay State, and I have
known many of them from childhood,
But the negro here—the back incur-
(bus on white civilization and enters
prige in the Southern States, is no
more lik,e him than be js like ,the
Southern planter whose cotton he
picks. And i n.mfinally convinced of
*be falsity .of tl;e lesson, I received
.of him. “All men arehprn free and
.equal” it is true, but $bey don't stay
so; and it is only when' oil and water
mix and the ice dad, mountains of
England are to be found iu the orange
groves of Florida that th/B frteilmau
.will become tLe social or political
equal 1 of his white neighbor.

Dr. B. J. Kendali. & Go.,Gents:—Hav¬
ing used a good deal of your Kendall’s
Spavin Cure with great success, I thought
I would let you know what it has done for
me. Two years ago I had as speedy a
colt as was ever raised in Jefferson county.
When I was breaxing him he kicked over
the cross bur and got fast and tore one of
his hind legs all to pieees. I employed the
best farriers, but they all said he was
spoiled. He had a very large thorough-
pin, and I used two bottles of your Keu-
dall’s Spavin Cure, aud it took the bunch
entirely off, aud he sold afterwards for
$1800. /have used it for hone spavins
and wind galls, and it has always cured
completely and left the leg smooth. rheumatisbi

and they all say it does the work. I was
in Witherington & Kneelands’s drugstore,
in Adams, the other day and saw a very
flue picture you sent them. I tried to buy
it, but could not; they said if I would write
to you that you would send me one. I
wish you would, and I will do you all the
good I can. Very respectfully,
