P. lM." Heath was thus commended by Holloway. postmaster. to his brother postmaster. Langsdale. and to Mr. Clay. a colored preacher. engaged in sending false and sensational circulars to the South to induce colored emigration to Indiana. Heath was also instructed to tell Langsdale and Clay that more were coming. and tho wlole thingwas then marked "private. "Tell these gentYemen more are coming" Yes. more were coming. and Colonel Ho~loway and. all his prominent political associates at Indianapolis not. only knew the fact. as he here states. but they were engaged in bringing them. Do these papers. given by Holloway to the negro. Heath. appear to have emanated from one who was ignorant of the colored emigration to Indiana or opposed to its success? The very reverse is true. They prove conclusively that there was a plan arranged. a couspiracy organized. whose future operations were known to the writer. and thathe was engaged with others in laboring to advance the cause.
