THE NEGRO EXODUS INTO INDUJSA.

The Purely Political Character of the Morement With the Intention of Carrying Indiana. Tb MtTtmeal , Heltbcr' SpMUaonii or Hat oral Bat th Recall mt . Conaplrmey, A. Complete Review of the Entlrw Exoda Movement, Considered From Every Point of View Pnper Addition to Oar Population. While yew York is watching with eager solicitude the importation of pauper $ from Europe, Vte Republican press, ana the Jiepublican party of Indiana are inviting paur er negroes from the South to come to Indiana iu hnm-ffLi and by thousands for no other reason under llearen but to vote the Republican ticket. Oild LangsdaJe, who is said to be the editor of a "red hot Republican paper," Sropoees to find homes for all who come, he leading Republican paper of this State expresses the opinion that each county in the State needs 200 of the paupers male adults who with their families, will swell the grand total of the army of the negro paupers to about 06,000. There is absolutely no work for them. Every day's work they may do IS VIRTUALLY TAKTNQ BREAD from the mouths of the white people of . In- t diana who have to work for a living. But if these pauper negroes come, they come to vote the republican ticket, to rub white laborers of the means of support, and to make a livelihood more precarious; still the Republican managers are urging them to come. Not one in twenty of these pauper negroes has a dollar; ragged, filthy, lazy and improvident, they come to live upon public or private charities, or to die begears and paupers, as they did in Kansas. The ''red bot" Republican press has determined to lend its aid in the infamous proceeding, and their agents are at work in tuo South. They, like the Republican papers, are also "red hot." The pauper negroes are coming with their filth, rags, disease and vermin. They went to Kansas to die. They came to Indiana to vote to beg, to be taken care of, or starve. The working people are getting their cues wide open on the subject, and the Republican conspirator will find out at last that the best laid plans of mice and men do not pan out well sometimes, ThEK MISGUIDED NEGROES HATE BEEK BRoroHT to Indiana where Thevars NOT WASTED FROM STATES WHIRS THRY CA V LIVE IX COMFORT. THET ARE COMINO TO BE SUPPORTED BY CHARITY, COMING TO STARVE, TO DRAO OCT A MISERABLE EXISTENCE; BECAUSE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WAN! TO USE THEM FOB, VOTING MACHINES. Tai MIX WHO ABB KNOAOED IH THI BUSINESS ARE MORE CRUEL THAN DEATH. THEY ARE MEN OF THE SAME TYPE AS THOSE WHO OBTAINED THE CONFIDENCE OT THE SOUTHERN NEGRO TO ROB THEM OF THEIR LAST dollar throuoh the agency of the freedman's sa vinos bank. They belono to the class of men who for tears kept the south in trouble, bt. exciting the prejudices of the negroes aoainst the the whites, that murder might VITALIZE THEIR BLOODY 8HIKT HARANGUES. TUET. ARE NOT IMPLACABLE ENEMIES OF WHITES AND BLACKS, AND THEIR NEFARIOUS SCHEMES SHOULD BE EXPOSED. THE ONLY EXCrSE FOR THEIR COMING. The people of Indiana, Republicans as well as Democrats, have very clear perceptions with regard to the importation of Southern pauper negroes into this State. The cry about the necessity for more farm hands is as vile a falsehood as was ever told. Nowhere in the State, from the Ohio river to Lake Michigan, has there been a call during the fast six years for farm hands in excess of the cal supply. Instead of more laborers being in demand, there have been hundreds of idle met pleading for work which could not be obtained. The negro immigration business is a vicious, partisan proceeding from first to last. It is cruelty to the negro, whs is not tenntedin Indiana; and it is no less a stinging injustice to the white laborers already nere, and who are having a hard time of it to get a tiring. The movement was inaugurated by a set of white and black scamps in the employment of Republican conspirators, for the purpose of increasing the Republican vote in 1880. THESE PARTISANFREEBOOTERS CARE NOTHING fer the welfare of the laboring people of Indiana, or the black paupers of the South. They are willing to sacrifice both if thereby the Republican party of Indiana can increase its vote. They are aiding the increase of the negro population of Indiana. They are willing' that the white labor of Indiana shall be brought into direct competition with negro labor. They know if these Southern pauper, negroes will work at all, that they can be hired at wages upon which no white man could live decently or com fortably, still they are anxious to subject the white workingmen of Indiana to the humiliating and degrading competition with pauper negroes of the South, who are to be brought here by subscription, and maintained, as in Kansas, by private or public charity, and this is to be done to increase the Republican vote of the State. The laboring people .ot Indiana have watched the exodus, and if the Republican party makes anything by it they will be welcome to all it can gain. THE NEGROES WnO WERE ENTICED to Indiana are poor, ignorant, and in numerous instances vicious. Paupers at tome, they could still find subsistence, for th climate is more genial and their necessities more easily supplied. On reaching Indiana, it was readily seen they must at once be provided for, or they starve and freeze. Togo to any country and bid for emigrants tor INDIANA FROM THE PAUPER . POPULATION, TO RANSACK THE SLUMS TOR THE LAZY, THRIFTLESS AND VICIOUS CLASSES, WOULD BE REGARDED .UNIVERSALLY AS AN OUTRAGE. BUT THIS IS JUST WHAT THESE REPUBLICAN FANATICS AND KIDNAPPERS HAVE DONE. ,2OT A. NEGRO HAS A DOLLAR TO SAVE HIM FROM TER18HINO Upon, their arrival they bad to be taken in hand and provided for; homes must be had; employment must be furnished; food, fuel, shelter and clothing had to be supplied. 'And all this must be done promptly and ' continuously. Once here, the negro, if he will work at all, is not in a position to name the price. He is in the custody' of miscreants' who will rob him of his earnings just aa the Republican scamps robbed him Through the agency

of the Friedman's saving bank. WORK TUAC A WHITS MAN WOULD JX FOR A DOLLAR TUE PAUPER NEGRO WILL BE REQUIRED TO PERFORM FOR A QUARTER OF Til AT AMOUNT, AND THE WHITE LABORER WILL BE COMPELLED TO LOOK. ON IN SILENCE AND SEE HIMSELF AND THOSE DEPENDENT UPON HIM ROBBED OF T1IK MEANS OF SUBSISTENCE THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY MAY GAIN A FEW VOTES IN 1880, AND THAT THE SOUTH MAY BE EMBARRASSED BY THE WANT OF LABORERS. Democrats have opposed this whole business of forcing mendicant Southern negroes into this State. The movement is in direct conflict with the interests of the working people of the State, and opposed to the welfare of the negro as well. For negroes from the South to come to Indiana to support themselves, and of their own free will, is one thing to be forced here to voto the Republican ticket, and to be supSorted by private or public charity, is a very ifferent thing. In opposing such an exodus the Democratic party has been consistent, and the more the subject is investigated the more the people will be convinced that the Democratic party is actuated by prudont considerations. J FRED DOUGLASS' OPINION OF THE EV0DU9. During the time the exodus was in active operation, Frederick Douglass, the leading colored man of the country, now Marshal of the District of Columbia, wrote as follows: I CAN NOT BUT REPEAT THE OPINION ALREADY OFTEN EXPRESSED THAT ALLOBGANIZED EFFORT AT THE NORTH DESIGNED TO PROMPT AND PROMOTE FURTHER STAMPEDE OF THIS SORT SHOULD HE DISCOUNTENANCED. THESE i'OOR PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE DE. LUDED AND ALLURED FROM THEIR HOMES, ESPECIALLY AT THIS SEASON OF THE YEAR, BY PROMISES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.

OF PECUNIARY AID. I SEE NO WISDOM. BUT MUCH FOLLY NO GOOD, BUT MUCH EVIL IN BRINGING TO THIS CITY MULTITUDES OF THESE PEOPLE, UNDER TnE IMPRESSION THAT WHEN THEY REACH HERE MONEY WILL BE RAISED AND FURNISHED THEM TO PAY THEIR TRAVELING EXPENSES TO THE NORTH, THE WEST OR ELSEWHERE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS EVERYWHERE READY TO RIDE ON RAILROADS AND TO VISIT DISTANT CITIES IF ASSURED IN ADVANCE THAT THEIR RAILROAD FARfiS WILL BE PAID, AND THAT FOOD AND II ELTER WILL BE PROVIDED FOR THEM. THE SECOND REPUBLICAN SCHEME TO 8TVIN DLE THE NEGRO. F When Republican rascals concocted their Freedman's Savings bank scheme, for the purpose of robbing the negroes of their small earnings, there was about the proceeding a deliberate devilishness unparalleled in the history of knavery; but this essential villainy sinks to fathomless contempt compared with tbe infernal cruelty of the Republican kidnappers who are engaged in decoying tho pauper negroes from the South to Indiana. The wheedled negroes are absolutely paupers, without money, provisions or seasonable clothing. They are, from the first,- objects f charity, and must be supported at private or public charge. They are the victims ol deceptions which, fur base purpoeses and regardless of consequences, defy description. They come say the knaves who enticed them away from their homes to work, but EVERY DAY'S WORK THEY OBTAIN IS JUST THAT MUCH DEDUCT E FROM THE WHITE MEN OT INDIANA WBb ARB DEPENDENT UPON THEIR LABOR FOR SUPPORT. THE PLEA THAT THERE IS ANTTIHNQ CONNECTED 'VTITU THE EXODUS OT BOUT HERN NEGROES TO IN DIANA THAT BEARS ANY RESEMBLANCE TO HONEST, PRUDENT OR ADVISABLE IMMIGRATION IS KNOWN TO BK A MONSTROUS FALSEHOOD. . The republican conspirators, BkACK AND "WHITE, WHO ARE WORKING UP THE EXODUS ARB DOING IT FOR THE PURPOSE OT INCREASING THE REPUBLICAN VOTE IN INDIANA, AND FOB NOTHING ELSE. To accomplish their purpose they are subjecting their black victims to hunger, cold, sickness and death, in a strange land, among strangers, where they are not wanted, and where their labor is not in demand. The Republican scalawags who are carrying forward the business have no sense of right neither sympathy nor conscience. They want the negroes' votes in 1880, regardless of the suffering their scheme entails upon the negroes or white men. Fortunately, a great many honest Republicans begin to comprehend the condition of affairs, aril are setting their feces against the whole infamous business. THE BOTTOM FACTS OF THE EXODUS. ' That the pauper exodus was from the first manipulated by a set of soulless Republican scamps, black and white, there can be no ?uestion . That they lied to the negroes is a act that admits of no Controversy. And the negroes now in Indiana, if permitted to testify, would make the infamous proceeding so plain that even Republicans would be compelled, in the interest of humanity, to denounce the piratical kidnappers with unmeasured severity. These Republican rascals have gone among the ignorant pauper negroes of North Carolina, and tola them that they were wanted in Indiana as farm hands. 4 That was a lie, and the rascals knew it. They told them that they could at once secure good homes, with gardens; that they would Te furnished with a cow, and would receive $2 to $3 per day as wages, in cash. These statements were lies known to be lies at the time, and proved to be lies since the poor, half-naked, half-starved paupers arrived in the State. 'The Republican kidnappers, in ths , employment of Republican ctrispirators and knaves, made contracts with railroads to ship the paupers over certain lines at so much a. head, receiving a bonus for their toork an. exhibition of mercenary cruelty equalled ynly by the negro stealers who formerly entrapped the natives of Af rica in their jungles, and shipped them to the most favorabU markets. These contracts to ship pauper negroes to Indiana, were fulfilled when the Negroes reached Indiana. Here they were dumped and left to the cold charities of the world, and their sufferings have been terrible. Sick, half-clad, without money or food or shelter, they were forced ki to church buildings and shanties and pens, to live or die, as fate might decide. One poor fellow with a wife and two children, a negro of the better sort, who paid his way through, after three weeks' search for work, was able to find employment at $1 a week; another poor deluded pauper was able to get $4 for a month's work in the country, and returning to his home, a place of sqnalor, he found bis wife in the pangs of child-birth, and soon after the infant lay cold and stiffen

the embrace of death frozen to death because there was not a particle of clothing with which to shield it from the blasts of winter. THI WHOLX BUSINESS XS A PANORAMA OT HORRORS, GOTTEN XT TO TILL INDIXNA WITH REPUBLICAN VOTERS FOR THE CAMPAIGN or 1880. It is impossible to exaggerate the Infamy of the whole proceeding from first to last. It is unparalleled wickedness a crime against humanity, and fully illustrates to what profound depths of depravitv Eepublican leaders will descend to gain $ partisan triumph. No one objects to ligitimate immigration to Indiana, but this exodus ft-om North Carolina was simply fiendish. It was conceived in falsehood ; it ha3 brought forth a progeny of cru elties, of sufferings, of villainies that defy adequate description; and these facts we conclude will be brought out before the investigating committee. Senator Voorhees by bringing about this investigation deserves the applause of the country, He has done bis State a great service, but he has done the poor deluded blacks of the South a far greater service. Facts have been submitted to a eandid publio that have brought into haggard prominence the deep damnation ef the Republican scheme that will fill the land with horror. THE PHILOSorHIO VIEW ÖST THE MOVEMENT. The exodus of the negroes of the South to Northern States is iu direct violation of every principle and law whioh regulates and governs the migratory movements of the human species. More than this, it is in direct conflict with the irwtincts of bird and beast. Subject the movement to the severest analysis, and the discovery will be made that the Southern negroes who are now seeking homes in the Northern States have been the victim; of the most infamous falsehoods, and have been enticed away from a country where their services were in demand, where

the climate is suited to their comfort, develment and longevity, to a country where their condition can by no possibility be improved, and where it is made, by circumstances beyond their control, indefinitely worse. The most intelligent negroes of the the country, ex-slaves and free born, unite in declaring the exodus to be vicious in all regards. . the sourn IS THE NATURAL home of the "NEGRO. In the North he is out of place. To sy nothing of race prejudice, the North is not the section that invites negro immigration. It is a well established fact that since the war the condition of the Southern negro has steadily improved. ' Thousands or them ARE NOW LANDED PROPRIETORS, AND CULTIVATE THEIR OWN ACRES; AND IT IS FURTHER ESTABLISHED THAT THE MORS INTELLIGENT Southern negroes do not propose TO EMIGRATE. ,Th INDUSTRIOUS, THRIFTY NEGRO FINDt THE SOUTH THE BESET PLACE FOR HIMSELF AND TAMILY. THOSE VHO ARE PERSUADED AWAY ARE THE LAZY, THRIFTLESS, PAUPER CLASS, WHO LIVE FROM HAND TO MOUTHJ AND THIS LATTER CLASS ARE EASILY PERSUADED TO ABANDON THEIR NATIVE COUNTRY BT REPUBLICAN CONSPIRATORS, WH WANT TO USE THEM TOR PARTIBAN PURPOSES, REGARDLESS OT THE SUFFERINGS THEIR INFAMOUS FALSEHOODS INFLICT. The laws of emigration demonstrate the fact that people emigrate from countries overcrowded, where the means of subsistence are precarious, to countries less populous, where the means and opportunities for subsistence are more favorable. When a movement is made in violation of this law, the reasons underlying it and prompting it, are, as a general proposition, vicious, and the design is to subserve some purpose in itself criminal. But when those who inaugurate such movements of people seek out the pauper class, the ignorant and depraved, the idle and thriftless vagrants, they become to all intents and purposes the enemies of society, and should be dealt with as felons. That the Republican rascals who are noto engaged in bringing pauper negroes from the South to Indiana, their aiders and abettors, are in all regards the enemies of not only their negro victims, but of the white citizens of Indiana, facts clearly demontrate. They are bringing these pauper negroes from localities where their labor is in demand to other localities, where their labor is not wanted. They are bringing them from States where the population is sparse to where it is more dense. They are bringing them from States where the climate is more favorable for their health and comfort, to one where they must endure great suffering. They are brineinz them from States where the soil is as fruitful and its products as abun dant, and the means of subsistance under any circumstances as readily obtained, as in In diana or any other Northern State. Hence it is clear that those who are engaged in enticing the negroes from the South to Indiana are doing it, not for the good of the negro, BUT FOR THE PURPOSE OT HELPING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY to gain a triumph in 1830. A glance at statistics bearing upon the subject will satisfy the most obtuse and' stubborn citizen that the exodus movement is not only meanly partisan, but that it is criminally cruel, and that fer its accomplishment the conspiritors have been compelled to deceive the ignorant negroes by a studiously devised system of lying. Taking into consideration the area and population of the following eleven Southern States, it will be seen that they have an area of 749,030 square miles, and a population averaging 12.89 to tbe square mile; while Indiana, with an area of 88,800 square miles, has a population of 49.71 to the square mile. The following figures are taken from the census reports of 1870, and while population has largely increased during the past decade, it may be assumed that the" conditions have not changed to any extent calculated to impair the force of the argument:

IT WOULD BS DIFFICULT TO SlluW UP THE OBJECTIONABLE FEATURES OF THE EXODUS IN A STRONGER LIGUT. THE NEGRO CAN KOT BY ANY POSSIBILITY IMPROVE HIS CONDITION BY COMING TO INDIANA. TnE EFFECT OF HIS COMING UPON HIMSELF-WILL BE TO INCREASE HIS WANTS AiND SUFFERINGS, WHILE HE MAKES THE LIVING OP WHITE LABORERS MORE PRECARIOUS. THIS STATE OF THINGS IS ALREADY BEGUN. WHITE MEN ARE BEING DISCHARGED, AND THEIR PLACES FILLED WITH NEGROES. BECAUSE THE POOR DEVILS, TO KEEP FROM STARVING, WILL WORK FOR WAGES AT WHICH NO DECENT WHITE MAN CAN LIVE. IT WILL BE WELL FOR THE PEOPLE OF INDIANA TO WATCH THIS EXODUS BUSINESS WITH CEASELESS VIGILANCE. IT IS A REPUBLICAN SCHEME TO MAKE VOTING MACHINES OF THE MOST MISERABLE SET OF PAUPERS ON THE CONTI NENT. ITS EFFECTS UPON WHITE LABOR. Tha organs of the Republican kidnapers who visited North Carolina for the purposo of enticing to Indiana thousands of pauper negroes to vote the Republican ticket have time and again sought to make it appear that Indiana requires the assistance of these pauKr negroes to culti rate the soil. The black publican rascals who were the agents of the white Republican knaves were guilty of the nost infamously barefaced lying. They told the North Carolina paupers that homes and lands were awaitingtheir coming; that lands could be had at from $1 to $1.50 per acre; that sir or seven months of provisions would be provided gratuitously ; that men were wanted from $2 to $3 per day, and women at from $20 to $25 per month. These lying representations were well calculated to induce thepauper negroes to make the venture. The black rascals were particular to tell the pauper negroes that no Democratic negroes was wanted, and when they arrived in Indiana they would be expected to vote the Republican ticket. THAT THE BLACK AGENTS OF THE WHITE REPI'HI.ICAV SCOUNDRELS.

made such statements can be established, and that every one of them, except those whith relate to voting.is a lie,can bo proved. That it was a Republican scheme.the republican prees has universally though unwittingly shown by the statements in its editorial columns, that it is the most infamous piece of business ever engaged in by a political party to change the political complexton of a State is easily demonstrated. Th only party that could by any possibility engage in such an execrable proceedines is the Republican partv a party that elevated Hayes to power by fraud forgery and perjury, would not hesitate to fill Indiana with pauper negroes by means equally vile, The report of the Alitor of State for 1878 shows that there were in cultivation in the State of Indiana about 6,639,078 acreä of land. The cereal products of these lands in 1877 were as follows! Whaat, basheU ......... ai.Oäl.A'U Corn, btuhflt 93,,(03 Bye, bnihel..... 646,71 OaU. bounds 10,658,120 Barley, bUiheM-........ 134,234 In the year 1878 there was an increased yield, and in 1879 the wheat product amounted to about 55,000,000 bushels, m aKing Indiana the banner wheat State of tho Union. During these years of steadily increasing roduetion there was nowhere a demand for arm laborers in excess of the supply. On the contrary, the supply of labor was largely in excess of the demand. There was not a county paper published in the State that advertised for farm laborers to come from a distance. THOUSANDS OF HONEST MEN WERE OUT OF EMPLOYMENT, MECHANICS AS WELL AS COMMON LABORERS, WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN GLAD TO OBTAIN ANY KIND OF WORK, AT ALMOST ANY PRICE, BUT IT COULD NOT BE nAD. IN VIEW OF THESE FACTS, THE MONSTROUS PROPORTIONS OF THE WRONG INTENDED THE WHITE LABORERS OF INDIANA BY THE REPUBLICAN KNAVES WHO HAVE BEEN AND ARE STILL IMPORTING PAUPER NEGROES INTO THE STATE CAN BE APPRECIATED. The popula tion of Indiana In 1870 was 1,080,637. The gain from 1800 to 1870 was about 20 per cent If the same ratio of increase has continued during the decade just passed, the population ef the State is now about 2,000,000, or about 60 persons to the square mile. The population of North Carolina in 1870 was 1,071,361 ; tho increase during the decade from 1860 to 1870 was something over 7 per cent, and the present population of the State may be estimated at about 1,116,356, or something over 22 persons to the square mile. Here, then, we have the fact that the Republican knaves are kidnapping pauper negroes in North Carolina where tho population is 22 to the square mile t ship to Indiana where the population is 60 to the square mile, ostensibly is to better the condition of the paupers, while the real purpose is to have them vote the Republican ticket. These Republican knaves, and kidnappers disregard every law that influences the legitimate migration of human beings, they violate the laws of Indiana, they violate the laws of humanity, and they violate the laws of Christianity. They have inflicted untold cruelties upon the pauper negroes, and to gain a few votes are willing to force the white laborers of Indiana into pauperism and crime. A SCHEME TO BRING OUR LABORINO PEOPLE TO THE LEVEL OT PAUPERS BT LEAVING NOTHING OT PROTIT AT THE END OT THE TEAR. One of the reasoas urge by the Republican conspirator! and their black and white practical kidnapers for filling Indiana with pauper. negroes is that these pauper negroes "have nothing left at tho end of the year." It has cost them all they earned to live. They have just been able to make both ends meet with nothing left over. Admit it, and what of it? We ask the people ot Indiana to look abroad over the State to find how many laborers in Indiana do more than to come out even at th e end of the year. How many of the white toilers of Indiana have anything left at the end of the year? The response will come from thousands. We have nothing left. THE PROFITS OF LABOR TO THE TOILER ARE SMALL INDEED. WITH THE SEVEREST ECONOMY THEY IIAVE LIVED, AND THAT IS ALL; -AND STILL THESE REPUBLICAN CONSPIRATORS AND BLACK AND WHITE AGENTS GO TO NORTH CAROLINA TO .ENTICE

AWAY PAUPER NEOEOES TO INDI. ANA, TELLING THEM THAT HERE THEIR SERVICES ARE IN DEMAND AT LARGER WAGES; THAT HOMES AWAIT THEM, AND THAT UERF THEY CAN SAVE MONEY AND HAVE SOMETHING LEFT AT THE END OF THE YEAR. THEY COME, TO LEARN THAT EVERY WORD IS A LIE. THEY FIND THAT TEY ARE BROUGHT TO THE TAT TO VOTE THE REPUBLICAN TICKET, AND ARE SHIPPED IN A WAY THAT ENABLES THEIR KIDNAPPERS TO MAKE A STIPULATED SUM PER HEAD, JUST AS IF THEY WERE SHIPPING MULES. THEY COME TO MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR WHITE LABORERS TO LIVE IN INDIANA. THEY COME TO BE 8UPPORTED BY PRIVATE OR PUBLIC CHARITY. OR. IF THEY FIND WORK, TO TAKE IT FROM THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO LIVE ON WAGES BROUGHT DOWN TO THE LOWEST. POSSIBLE LEVEL. These black and white Republican kidnappers are found adviaing Euch of the negroes as have mules and wagons toscll them, an evidence that a working negro in the South can save something, quite as much, if not more than the white farm laborof Indiana, and more than the average toiler. We find that in North Carolina the condition of the negro laborer is quite as fortunate in point of saving money as it is in the North, and it is worthy of remark that the thrifty working negroes do not come North. The great mass of them who have been kidnapped are the lazy, thriftless, trifling negroes who prefer to hang around towns and cities, and who are ready to listen to the lying stories of the roaming kidnapping Republican rascals who ship them Nonn as they would ship hogs or cattle over certain lines at so much ahead, and who are directed to send them to Indiana to vote the Republican ticket. THE LABORING MEN OF INDIANA CAN

NOT TOO SOON TAKE THIS MATTER INTO CONSIDERATION. IF WE ARE TO HAVE 6000,10,000, OR ANY OTHER NUMBER OF PAUPER NEGROES FORCED INTO INDIANA BY REPUBLICAN KNAVES, AND THE KIDNAPPING FREEBOOTERS IN THEIR EMPLOY, IT MEANS THAT WHITE LABORERS WILL HAVE TO COMPETE WITH THEM FOR AN EXISTENCE; THEY WILL nAVE TO WORK FOR PAUPER WAGES, AND TAKE A PAUPER'S CHANCE FOR SUBSISTENCE, AND THIS THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO DO THAT PAUPER NEGROES MAY BE IMPORTED TO VOTE THE REPUBLICAN TICKET NEXT YEAR. THE WHITE LABORERS OF INDIANA nAVfl HAD, FOR YEARS PAST, A HARD TIME TO MAKE A LIVING. THE STRUGGLE IS TOBE FIERCER IN THE FUTURE. LOOK AT IT FROM ANY POINT OF OBSERVATION, AND THE PROSPECT IS GLOOMY FOR THE WHITE TOILER. HOW THE NF.QR0E9 WERE DECEIVED. The objections to the exodus have been warranted by facts and results which defy successful explanation and contradiction. It has been shown conclusively that the original purposes of the miserable Republican scamps who enticed the negroes from the South to Kansas was to injure the industrial enterprises of the South. To accomplish this purpose, the more ignorant of the negroes were deluded by the most cruel falsehoods. They were told that friends, employment, lands and implements awaited their arrival in Kansas. The poor creatures started for the land of promise to meet privation, starvation, sickness and death. They were paupers when they started. Their condition steadily grew worse, and they found out at last that they had been deceivedand victimized to gratify the implacable hates of Northern faxatics. MR ENGLISH'S BOLD FIGHT Against Know-Nothinclam, and hla Successful lefena or Civil avud Kellgioua Liberty, Trom the Indianapolis People, Aug 71 The Sentinel refers to the fact that both the proprietor and editor of that paper lived in the district represented in Congress by the Hon.

The Sentinel says: "The proprietor of this paper, and also the editor, lived in Mr. English's district then, and remember well the gallant and glorioas fight that he made in defense of religious freedom and the rights of our foreign-born citizens. So great was the excitement that men, women and children were slaughtered, just across the river from Mr. English's district, because they happened to be born abroad, and the same spirit prevailed in all that region.

The Democrats of Indiana should know that there is positive evidence that negroes are now being brought into this State in Large numbers, for the purpose of voting this fall who will not be entitled to vote for the reason that they will not have been in the State Bix months before the election as required by law, and the constitution. But the Republicans intend to vote them without regard to law or constitution, and to that end they are now being colonized in precincts where the election board and officers of the law are Republicans. So great is the desperation of the Republican leaders, in view of their approachine doom, that it is believed in some localities they will pay no regard to Democratic challenges of illegal voters, and will even refuse te istue or execute warrants for the arrest of offenders or will neglect to do so until it is too late to prevent the mischief of illegal voting. If this should be the case in any locality it will be the duty of the Democrtts and friends ef fair play and lawful elections to exercise the God-given right of freemen. Let them show their manhood. Let them show that they know their rights and knowing dart maintain them. We say to you then spot every illegal voter, exercise every lawful means to keep him from voting, and keep him from voting. Organize for that purpose and stand together as one man in defense of yeur rights and the faithful execution of the law.

I mean that if tbey were f rodueera, sj these women and children are wot, lockngat'taa a matter of pohticj.1 economv, I do. Je that tbe stand point from w hich yon ask tbeqoestlouf ' Q.

Tea, sir; I think it would ; I have no doubt that it would. - Q. Bat si it Is, with re few men and 0 many more women and children, yon hae yonr doubts ? A. I ' do not think It would be for tbe material wealth of ' the State to bave them cores In that prvperUem. They are conmmert rather than producers. Q. Yon would be disposed, tbeu, to ad rise then to -stop com! or In the way in which tbey are com leg ? A. I am looking at it from an Indiana stand-point. Q. O, yes; we are all looking at it from an Indiana stand-point; aa an Induaiaa, I ask yen whether, If these people who are coming were to change ts proportion w little, yon wonld advise them te come ow 1 A. Answering tbe qnestion as yon ask it, as a jitiaea of Indiana, from tbat stand-point I say yea. i. Yon may answer aa yon choose; I am wot rotting oat the answers for yoo. I simply want to get at yeur views. Yon are a representatiie man in your party, and I want your views; eo I will repeat the question, whether in tbe proportion la which tbeeo people are coming yon would advise against it, and If that proportion were adjusted eo that there were more men and fewer women and children you would ad vis thsm to come, f r the material wealth and prosperity of Indianer A, Yes, sir. THAT THIS ALL MZAXS. Here Is the same complaint made by Mills efnot enough men in the movement and too many women. Here is an indorsement of negro emigration to Indiana en the condition tbat the men will come and the women remain away. It Is true Mr. Kew assigns as w . reason for approving such a msscullue emigration tbat it wonld impaove the mateiial prosperity of the State. Doubtless, however, be and his party co-laborers are fully persuaded tbat tbe surest way to achieve that material prosperity Is to overcome tbe Democratic majority In Iudiana,aud aa tbe mcst certain means to tbat end the presence at ihe baliot-box ofthat State of tbe black male population of tbe South Is extremriy desirable. 8ir, I might appropi lately panse here to show from tbe proof that outside of Mr. New an 1 a few contra' ling republican leaders nobody of a' y party in Indiana believes or pretends to belie vtlit w begre emigration and settlement there, eitberof men, women er ehildren, separately or all combined, would advance tbe material wealth, prosperity, aud well-being of that greatand progressive Commonwealth. The evidence on this joint before the committee came from every shade of party p-ilitlcs, and tbe laboring-man of the republican party and the representative Ban of tho greenback-labor party were a emphatio in their denial of Mr. Xew's statement as tbe most pronounced democrat in the State. Mr. Kew says: We hare a large and prosper ns Mate, demanding development, and all T us are anxious tbat tbesiate thonld be developed, and everything that tendsto promote its material wealth we are anxious to encourage. He and bis fellow. managers of politics affeet to believe that tuia "material wealth" would be promoted by evoting.notanon-vntinf, black population in tho State ; by a male, not a female, population of thrit race; by an adult mala population, entilltd to wield the ballot, not by women and children, denied, as yet, tbe elective franchise. This opinion is not shared in Indiana beyond tbe narrow circle of the Republican State Central committee, the Federal office-holders, and a few shallow folks who think that anything, even tbe ruin of tbe Stat?, i justifiable in order to defeat the Democratic party. THE KIND OT IMMIGRANTS INDIANA WANTS. Indiana Is indeed a large and prosperous State, and is susceptible cf still greater development; but she prefers to rely in the future upon the same agencies which have pressed bsr forward so rapidly and so grandly in the paet. Iu agalaxy of thirty-eight States she stands in mauy respects tbe fourth, and in all respects, taken together, the fifth Etats in this mighty Union. When New York. Pennsylvania, Obioaud Illinois have been named, Indiana answers next on tbe roll-call of American States, tier railroad development is the marvel of modern progress, aud her school system surpassee that of any other known Commonwealth ef equal population. H- r lands, her timber, and her mineral resources constitute her an empire of physical wealth. H r people, too, are a strong race, the next generation immediately descended from the brave, devoted, and aggressive pioneers who a little while ago subdued the wilderness, and nearly all of whom now Sleepia their honored raves. The law of Indiana are liberal, just and equal. Tbe decisions of her highest court are q noted aa authority at Westminster, and the names of her Jurists are mentioned si a retpfcct at every Englishspeaking court in the world. &hebasbeena State the brief space of sixty tour years, but in tbat time she baa swept far up to tbe front in every department of thought and action. She bae outstripped her older sisten, seated on tbe ea. tern seaboard, assiw.ft ialling modern vessel on the ocean w-uld pass an ancient eraftbuilt ia tbelnfancy of navigation. In all her bright career, however, Indiana bas not depended for anjthingupon the negro, eith rss a (lave or as freedman.and shedoee not propose to do eo BOW. She basas much kindness, as much shelterand protection under the la w or the black man and for bis household who seek a home within herbordert in the ordinary and natural way of moving from one place to another efffthe baa for people of any vthrr color; but when a rusil is made to con vert her into a mere miserable colony for colored voters for political ends, ander tho pretense of aiding the development of ber material wealth, she will resent and msibc the base defilement and inflict punishment on all w ho have conspired against her honor and good fame. Mr. New, tn speaking of tbe coming of the male negro into Indiana, aays: "I think tbat an influx of labor upon our farms and into our workslops would certainly tend to the material prosperity of tbe State." THE WORKING PEOPLE 0? THE STATE AOAINST THE REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS. . Every witnese examined, except republican officeholders and politicians, testified that euch an Influx wonld be the abomination of tbe people of tbe Slate; that tbe supply of laborers was greater far than the demand, and had been for many years, especially since 1873; and tbat the negroes already imported there had fallen on bard lines, many of them not employed at all, objects of daily charity, and others obtaining a precarious subsistence from temporary and uncertain engagements. Mr. New says that if the proportion between the males and females was changed, so that n.gro men constituted the and into onr workkbops, he wonld encourage them to come. The testimony of farmer and mechanics is voluminous and overwhelming ow tbie point in the printed evidence, and it is nil on way. It is a book within itself, and I can not read It here. It eondemcs in every line, page and chapter, furnished by Bepublieansin greater numbers than by Itomoerats, and with equal empbasie. Ihe position of tbe Chairman of tha Bepublicac State CentraCommittee of Indiana. There Is no demand for the labor of the werro In Indiana, and every intelligent person in tbat State known it. There is no call for his assistance in developing the future of the State; no outcry for his influx upon our farms or into onr workshops, and en that issue I am willing to be Judged by the people whom I represent when tht y next epDroach tbe ballot-box. It ie not aw issue made by me. It is ma le ty tbechairman of tho sepuDiican bisis uiiirii ovduiiw tt lauuss, ana accepted by the gallant and faithful Democracy. The people of Indiana will make answer tbat it was a libel on tbim to declare tbat tbey were calling upon the pauper Afrkanaef theSonta, or on any other element of that race, to come to Indiana, to swarm upon her farms, to raid her work-hors, in order to develop her resources and to increase her material wealth. And in tbet answer will be found a verdict upon the evidence tbat a political conspiracy, and not the wishes ot hercitisene, has Inflicted upon Indiana theattempted outrage and pollution which she bae undergone. It will be a verdict which wi.l relieve tbe people of Indiana of the odium of having in any way solicited the headlong, senseless and moat uaaatttrai moTsment ed tbe bleats into their suideU ; . .. , . . r .
