LEEON THE SOUTH | ORATOR | THE ELOQUENT SPEAKS. Rev. Geo. W. Lee, of the 5th Beptist church preached an able sermon last Sunday morning and in his concluding remarks he ref- ered to the attack of the Southen democrats upon the colored peo- of domineering over the whites and ple when they accuse them the ery is raised simply because colored men attempt to assert their rights as men and they say that the negro should be distranchised, sv says the negro hater Oates,of Al abama on last Friday. But be says that he cant blame the democrats of the Scuth for crying and weep— for you can imegine how a ing; man would feel when he sees a race that he bas been driving for 250 years, steps up to him within the next 5 years as Congressman, Senators, Sheriffs and sit beside bim as jurorsa1l 2xs-cisiag the rights aud priviledges of citizen- ship when he had fought to keep him in slavery; when h's sons had been killed ou the field to perpetu- ate slavery and keep the negro in bondage, When he sees that all of his effurts have been in vain its enough tc make him miserable and say that the negro is domineer ing over the whites. When he knows that he raises the ery for the purpose of raising ariot so as to kill the colored people and then say that the negroes are uprisig You must excu-e me for talking A , . ed politics as I don’t desire to have much to do with politics but when Isee acolored man calling him self a democrat democratic party has said that they did’nt want the negro in his party. So my advice is forthe ne- gro to keep out of the democratic party for be is where he is not wanted, for any colored man that goes to the democratic party to look for bis rights, might just as well go toa hill tu look for religion with heaven two miies cff. WHAT IS IHOUGHT OF HIM. One Mr. Oates, a member of Congress from Alabama, in an in- terview with the New York WORLD, has delivered himself of an opinion which ought, and no doubt will, make him solid with Lis constituents. The gallant Col. must be given credit for a frank- ness which in this age of deceit and desembling, is simply marvelous. It is an opinion held by a large number of the ultra bourbons of his school, bnt noue of them have been so profuse of speech as the Col. He says “it is not Harrison, wnom the South has to fear. but the vindicative masses behind him.” TheCol. no doubt refers to that vindicative class whose brain, energy and enterprise, has been, and is vow, the life blood of the South and with whose aid it would still be the desolate and im- poverished region the war left it. Of course this class reffered to, greatly eujoy the complimentry re- marks from the redoubtable Col., it doubtiess will be the means of in- ducing a large number of Nortbhero Capitalists, who, bithe:to have con- fined their operations North, to seex new fields in a laud where they are held in such high esteem. Iu speaking of the relation.of rac- es South, be breaks forth in a wild impassioned strain. “The only hope I see is the total elimination of the negro from politics.” Nothing short of total elimination will save the South from an awlul fate. It re- quires no keen Sensation to see the lutense agony defected on the Col’s. face as he uttered that prop- hetic remark. Take notice, members of the pres- ent Congress, the South, the bleed- ing suffering South, on her bended kuees implorés you to save her, | aad nothing will assuage her greate grief; but the ‘total elimination,” policy as promulgated by Sir Ora- cle Col. Oats. He bas sounded the alarm, and if you would save her you must commence at once the work of total elimination. How much suspeuse and anxiety could have been saved bad the Col., but pointed out this danger before the | election, eyery candidate for con- gress could have been told his sue- cess depended entirely on the ardor he showed in the laudable work of | ‘‘total elimination.” The Col., does | paid for. I know that he s where he is not wanted. For the not say so in somany set words, but he substantially admits that in spite of the persuasive eloquence of the shot gun the negro in South, will vote and with a persis- tency worthy of @ better cause in- sist on having that vote counted. Any one with half an eye, can see that a continuance of that sort of affairs mast inevitably work the fi- nal aud complete rujn of the South, and the Col. with a foresight only equalled by his zeal calls on all pa- triots of his ilk to help him save the South, and will they tlock to to his standard that has on it the legend ‘-total elimination.” Ob yes! they will come up from the cross road groceries in legand to assist the saving of the S.uth. And this is the ultimate whole of the gallant Col’s fondest hopes. The utopia for whose sunny banks he bas set sail. Will he ever reach the desired heaven? Will his eyes ever see, or his heart ever conceive the full fra. ition of the ‘total elimination” po- licy? Did Moses ever enjoy tbe promised land? Did Jason, find the golden Heece? Did the Spanish ad- ventares ever find the fountain of eternal youth? Have the Alchem- ist, who for ages sought the means by which the baser metals could be couverted into gold ever succeeded? Has the author of the Junius letters or the beaatiful snow ever been found? Will Kelly’s, motor ever mote? Will Belva Lockwood, ever oceu- py tke luxurious chair in ths white house? Will Dr. Mary Walk- er, ever doff her masculine attire and arrayherself in skirts, bustle, and ete? Will Wm. Ochiltree, Eli Perkins, or Joe Mulhaltou, ever tell the truth? Will Wiggins, eyer make @ Correct prognostication of the weather? When these with ma- ny other improbable things, come to pass then will Col. Oats, see the American negro disfranchis- ed “I am not an enemy of the ne- gro” says the Col., ob no, not he, he loves them with a passionate devo- tion unkuown to common place mortals. He loves them so, that if that if he had the arms of a collo- sus, he would gather them all in his embrace. “They a:e essential and we want then to remain with us.”’ Of couse you do, Nobody doubts that, They are invalua- ‘le Neld hands, house seryants; to build your cities, towns aud railroads. They are simply priceless as automulie ma- chines, with eyes that see not, ears that hea not, tongues tht speak 1 ot, with no will nor fveling sive that of the master and operator, to come and go as the Col, may please to duect. ‘To give up once and forever the i ne idea of being @ tree American eitizen. In this delightful condition the Cul., wants them, noothers need apply. Oue other ph: ase of th sne- gro question thas is a p-rpetual bete noir scion of Southern Chivalry that is, Nezro Supremecy, or as the Atlanta constitu- tiop delights to termit, negro denomina- tion. This specire haunts the Col., by night and walks at his side by day, it sits, xn unvited guest at his board and like Banquos, ghost will not down at his biding. ‘Iruly Col. Oats, isa man to be pitied. Whit with nis “otal elimin - tion” scheme Jdemeniing instant att-n- ton, the solid South giving away, and a- bout to be precipitated into a yawning gulf, and tocap the climax nezro doai- nation seirce booming up in the back grounds, never was the Mariner, tortured like him. Ifthe Col., could hive been rsuaded to take off his gangreue spect- acles for a brief spe!l he would see how groundless are his fears, if for a moment he could -hike himself loose from the | traditous of the old region he might see ? that this age bas nothing in common with j ante bellum days. He wuld see how fool- ish is his tearof Negro domination, how utterly absurband childisb his “total eli- mination” policy, Frank Franklin. Miss Hallie Q.
