In changing their name to the *Vir- ginia Democratic Campaign Asso- ciation,” they should have added “so. che United States,” as they will no doubt import thugs and cut- throats from all over the country to help staff ballotsboxes and = intimi- date colored voters. The colored voters of Virginia will be called up- on to ex! se great jadgment and intelligence in the forthcoming campaign. They must be wary and not allow any one to impose upon them with the argument that now is the time to avenge themselves upon the head of the ticket for real or supposed sligbts.

SOUTHERN OUTRAGES CONDEMNED— A BOLD STAND TAKEN—RESOLU— TIONS ADOPTED —REV. W. BISHOP JOHNSON HONORED. INDIANAPOLIs, Lvd., Sept. 16, ’89. The National Convention of colored Baptists commenced its session in this city last Tnesday. It consists of the most intelligent and repre- sentative colored men of the race. Among ‘hose present are authors, college presidents, professors, doc- tors of diyinity, masters of arts, bachiors of divinity and arts, med— ical doctors, editors, lawyers, legis- lators, besides the host of intelli- gent men and women who have not gained such bigh distinction. Sev- eral things are worthy of uute in this gathering; the delegates re- presenting every State in the Un- lon is composed of young men, nearly all of whom are educated. Every institution of learning that graduates colored meu is represent- ed, and the kearty grip of old col- | lege mates and affeciiouate “How | are you old fellow!’ is pleasant to | see and hear. It is an orderly set | of men, numbering about four hun- dred. The daily papers have beeu lond ip their praise of the intelli~ gence of the body and have written some very cogent editorials of the progress of the race. The follow- ing is from the “Morulug Journal: **Many of the wost intelligent | colored people from all over United States are assembling in Indianap- Certainly not the estered -vorery of] WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21,1889. 5 eemts per association now in session is that of the Western States and Territories. This meet- ing will close to-morrow, and be | followed by that of the National Foreign Missionary Society. Next week a convention representing all the States and Territories will be held, and this will be followed by the meeting of the American Bap- | tist Pubnication Society. “Besides religious matters, the discussion of the outrages to the colored people in the Southern States came prominently before the meeting this morning. Many of those present are‘from the South, and they spoke warmly in denoune- ing the treatment the colored peo- ple have received. Some favored active measures on the part of the National Convention next week, in giving aid to their oppressed breth- ren, and were of the opinion, as one expressed it, that ‘the only way the colored man can save himself from being kicked to death is to kick back,’ Others were more conserva: tive, and feared that measures of a nature too aggressive would aggra» vate the present difficulties and endanger the lives of the delegates when they return home. “A special committee on the state of the country, which will give at- ‘tention to these matters, was ap- pointed. It consists of Rev. R. DeBaptist, D. D., of Galebarg, Til; J. M. Meek, of Ripley, O., and Rev. W.H. Anderson, of Evausville, Ind. These men have the reputa tion of being cool and level-headed. They will act together with a com- mittee appointed by the Natiopal Convention next week. The following resolutions recviv- ed with ameus from the majority, were accepted and referred .0 this committee, to come up before the National Committge xext week, “Whereas, The colored Baptists of this country are represented in this meeting, in this, the home of our worthy Pecsident ; and “Whereas, New F nage the Southern States at our people are being shot down like dogs or wild beasts at their homes, in tier fields and other places without there being any redress for outrages and wrongs perpetrated ; therefore, be it “Resolved, That it is the duty of this confederation, as a Christian body, to raise our voice in uncom- promising terms against these out rages. “Resolved further, That this body lay our grievance before the President. all the Governors of the States, where these outrages are perpetrated, toask them for the protection that belongs to citizens of the United States. “Resolved further, That we will, above all things else, ‘ay our case before the Court of Heaven and earnestly implore the protection of that Court. “The Association of the Western States has elected as Moderator, J. T. Thomas, Chicago; Assistant Moderators, J. W. Carr, Indiavapo- lis, and J. A. Stewart, Topeka, Kas. Recording Secretary, J. L. Cobron, St. Louis; Corresponding Secretary, R. DeBaptist, Galesbarg, Il; Treasnrer, J. P. Johnson, Chicago.” The National Committee consists of one member from each State, with Rev. W.S. Gray, of Minneso- :ta, Chairman, and Rev. W. B. j Johnson, D. D., Washington, Se- cretary. The Committee made a partial report relative to the assaults made on some of the dele- gates from Georgia while enroute to the conventioa. The following is their report: “Whereas, We, as a Cnristian body of men aud women, assembled in the city of Indianapolis, in the Second Baptist Church, for the purpose of intelligently disseminat- ing the word througout the land, especially to see that the gospel of Jesus Christ reaches our brethren in black upon the burning plains of Africa, have with us brethren and sisters sent from Georgia by their respactive churches upon a grand and laudable mission, who were murderously attacked and brutally assaulted on board the East Ten- nessee, Virginia & Georgia railroad, in ear No. 12, by the railroad con ductor and his numerous hench men. These Christian gentlemen and thedady are Rev. Dr. E. K. Love, Rev. John Willams, Rev. G. M. Spratling, Mrs. Janie A. Garnet.and Deacon J. H. Brown. Therefore, be it Resolved, That we feel it our Christian duty as good and loyal citizens to appeal to the President and Attorney General of the United arcs ~RORES - 10--1 olis. They come to attend a series of Baptist Conventions at the See- oud Baptist Chureh on Michigan States, and to the Americar people to give this case their immediate attention. Resolved, That this convention do now telegraph said facts and these our prayers to the President and Attorney General, with the wish for an immediate investiga tion into the bratal outrages perpe irated pon the Christian gentle men and the lady named. Resolved, That a committee be appointed from this meeting to wait, in person, upon the President of the United States and the At torney General, and present these resolutions. Resolved, That the president and secretary of the convention sign a telegraph conveying thisexpression to the President and Attorney General of the United States.” Able and eloquent speeches were made by Rev. W. W. Gilbert, A. M., of Nashville, Teun., W. B. Jobnson, D. D., Washington, D. C., James Thomas, Chicago, O. 0. Boothe, M. D., Alabama, E. K. Love, D. D., Georgia, Harvey Johnson, D, D,, Maryland and oth ers. These speeches will never be forgotton hy those who heard them. The meetings of the Foreign Mission Convention were interest ing. Nearly $9,000 was collected. With two missionaries there are three others ready to start; three bundred members, four schools, four mission stations and no debts, with nearly a thousand dollars in the treasury and better outlook than eves before. Tie convention decided not cooperate with the Missionary Union, but continue its work alone. W.B. Johnson was elected vice president and a mem ber of the U.S F. M. Board; he also made an excellent address on “The peculiar classes of Africa on the Afro American.” Rey. W. W. Colley, the venerable aud patriarchal missionary made an address that brought the tears to many a strong man’s eyes, also the rondering of the wong, “Etbi opia shall stretch fortb er hand to God,” by T. L. Jobuson, was r Titrredwistiggeny- irom A Bins, We shall write wore of Indianap olis and its citizens next week, also about the National Convention.
