u I'he Negro Kmigratioii Movement
in South Carolina.
The project of an exodus of the
colored people to the West has
been met with considerable favor
by many of that race in that city.
The matter has been discussed in
a very quiet way. and iuvestiga
turn reveals an amount of inter
est in it that is surprising. There
has been an association formed
here the object of which is to
♦. bring influences to bear tending
t to a general appeal to Congress
for a grant of land. The idea is
to eudeavor to obtain the prupo
erred now Territory of Oklahomn.a
a pritftiou of the present Indian Ter
,1 qtilorv. to be set aside for the for
cie'
mation of a State to he entirely
under tin* control of colored citi
zens,and a petition has been sent
to congress to that effect, having
it is claimed, over one thousand
signatures.
■ Dr. M. G. Campitn. a practic
ing colored physician, is at tin*
head of the movement, and a rep
resentative of the Herald visited
him and conversed on the subject
this evening. Dr. t'amplin says
the project was first formed in
November last, when he had he
come convinced thatthe Liberian
exodus was destined to become
failure. Finding others who coin
| eided in his plans the movement
speedily assumnied definite shape
and several meetings were held,
resulting in the formation of the
association. Its only active effort
thus far has been the obtaining
and forwarding of the petition,the
result of which i' being anxious
]y awaited.
Dr. <’a in pi in says that Senator
Windoin seems to regard his plan
IfchKift- The in * e ' ect
is to keep the em
within the cotton belt
avoid subjecting them to the
industries. Inc I he
ol the
ot' * s ,0 withdraw Ihe color
i"i lal ion from the South, so
allow room for an influx of
pvhite immigration, which is
..(•ceded to be one of the great
|jV .-oils of that section of country.
He thinks this movement is
destined to be mutually beneficial
to both races, as it will allow the
man an opportunity of
■generally improving bis present
Homlilion. lb- does not regard
fT 1 condition as being so pros
ill he* 18 as conl<l be it the race

Without properly or education
the negro, in* claims, cannot com
pete in (lie struggle for existence
surrounded with the whites, who
' possess both, lie dislikes the
idea of their women being oblig
ed to engage in selling crabs on
the streets and similar occupa
lions, and desires to see them
placed where they can do better.
••The struggle for life here,” said
lie, "is terrible. Many while men
are seeking vainly for work to do,
and the employers being all of
their own race give lhem the pre
ference."
Contrary to the spirit in Lotiisi
ana, it seems to tie fear or hatred
of the white man that inspires the
movement here. Or. Campliii,
speaking as a representative man
maintained particularly that him
self and his coadjutors cherished
no hatred or malice, and had no
wrongs to revenge. They esuec
iallv desired not to he considered
as in any way vindictive or iron
ical toward (lie whites, lie thinks
the colored man entitled to some
consideration from the country
in liis request for a place where
lie can hotter bin condition, and

dent a> at present. The colored
people expect a ill in their present
plan from the American people.
North. South. Hast and West.
Another reason forcibly ad
vanced for the desire to leave is
that the colored man has been
the disturbing element in the
country for the last forty years.
That question, Dr. Camplin
thinks, is at the bottom of the
present turmoil in congress and
between the parties, and the ne
gro will always lie a source of
trouble and contentions. The con
templated removal would restore
harmony between the sections
and tranquility to the South and
also allow the entire country to
prosper.
Kx Judge Macon B. Allen is
corresponding secretary. Colonel
.lames V llavne, recording sec
retary. and ex Representative
James D. Price treasurer of the
association. All of them are col
ored men. They claim to have
received letters from different
parts of the State showing a very
general interest and acquiescnce
in ylO project Its main strength
however, seems to be in this city,
although it is doubtless much
impeded liv the continued activi
ty of the friends of the Liberian
exodus, who belittle and oppose
it a< interfering with their plans.
That exodus, however, is almost
beyond a doubt a failure, the
praspeets being that tin* ships
purchased for it will soon be sold
for debt. There seems to be a
general feeling of restlessness
and dissatisfaction among the col
ored population with their pro
sent romlitiau, of which these
schemes are the manifestations.
