Designing persons are circulating letters and documents among the poor colored people. telling them that in Kansas they can have forty acres and a mule and money free of cost. and the Government. the great good Government that freed them. will take care of them. For what purpose is this second signal movement among thepoor negroes of the South. the effect of which is to dissatisfy them with their condition? That they may. as many of them have been. be deceived and undertake to emigrate to this heavenly region. the new Canaan of the negrothe colored man. Whyis that done? Not for the purpose of benefiting the poor colored man. oh. no. but for the double purpose of making it an occasion to vituperate the southern people before the northern people. charging their own duplicity to be the effect of cruelty and wrong by the very men whose advantage it is to be kind to their laborers and to keep them among them in contentment.
