Declaration of Haiti LIBETY O (Translated from the French HEADQUARTERS AT GONAIVES, 1ST OF JANUARY, 1804. YEAR FIRST OF INDEPENDENCE. CITIZENS:—It is not sufficient to have expelled from your country the barbarians who have drenched it with blood during two full centuries; nor is it sufficient to have bridled the constantly reviving factions who have sported, by tars, with the mere phantom of liberty which France has held up to your view. No, it is also imperative on us to secure power by a final act of national authority, the empire of Liberty in the country which gave us birth; it is imperative on us to wrench from the inhuman government, who, for so long, have held our minds in the most humiliating torpor, all hope of reducing us anew to servitude—in fine it is imperative on us to live independent or die. Independence or death...Let these sacred words rally us and be at once the signal for our combats and of our reunions. Citizens: My Compatriots: On this solemn day I have reassembled these courageous soldiers who, long on the watch to welcome the slightest breathings of JUST RE A COMPLE JACKETS MILLINERY DRESS GOODS CRAVENETTE COATS Wash Dress Material Manufacture.

These generals, who have guided your efforts have not yet accomplished enough to secure your happiness. The French name still drapes our country with the pall of mourning. Everything here keeps fresh the souvenir of the cruelties of the barbarous people; our laws, our customs, our cities—all still bear the impress of the French, What do I mean? Frenchmen still exist in our island, and you believe that you are free and independent of this Republic that has waged war against all nations, it is true, but has never vanquished those who resolved to be free. What then? Victims of our own credulity and indulgence during fourteen years; conquered not by the French armies but by specious eloquence of the proclamations of their agents, when shall we grow weary of breathing the same atmosphere with them? What have we in common with these executioners?

Leave to Frenchmen this characteristic epither; they have conquered in order to cease to be free. Let us move onward on other lines. Let us imitate those people who, carrying their own solicitude into the future and fearing to leave to posterity the example of cowardice, have preferred to be exterminated rather than be erased from the list of free peoples.

Unlike those which we inhabit, those islands have not been watered with the innocent blood of their inhabitants. They have no vengeance to wreak on the authorities who protect them. Happy in not knowing how the plagues have smitten us, they can wish for us nothing but prosperity. Peace be to our neighbors, but anathema to the French name. Eternal hate to France:—This is our cry. Natives of Haiti! My happy destiny reserved me to be one day the sentinel who should watch as guardian of the idol to which you offer sacrifice. I have watched and fought, sometimes alone, and if I have been fortunate enough to place in your hands the sacred trust which you have confided to me, rememthat it is your part to preserve it. In warring for your liberty I have wrought my own happiness. Before consolidating it by laws which insure your free individuality, your Chieis, whom I have --- ate us, our avenging climate—these tell us plainly enough that they are not our brothers—that they will never become such, and that if they find an asylum in our midst, they will still be the promoters of trouble and our division. Native citizens, men, women, daughters and children, turn your eyes upon all the sections of this island, search there for your wifes, for your husbands, for your brothers, for your sisters—what must I say? Search there for your children, your infants at the breast! What has become of them? (I shudder in uttering it) they have been the prey of these vultures. Instead of these interesting victims, your astounded eyes rest only on their assassins; only on the tigers dripping with their blood, and whose frightful presence reproaches your insensibility and your tardiness in avenging them. What do you await in order to appease their names? Bear in mind your wish that when you had driven tyranny out of the land, your remains should repose side by side with those of your fathers. Will you descend into the tomb without having avenged them? No, for their bones would spurn yours. And you, valiant men and intrepid generals, insensible to your own misfortunes, have resurrected liberty in shedding all your blood, know this, that you will have done nothing if you do not give to all nations a terrible but just, example of the vengeance which ought to be inflicted by a people who have won their liberty and are jealous in maintaining it. Terrify all those who will attempt to ravish it again from us; commence with Frenchmen. In approaching our coast let them tremble. If not from a recollection of the cruelities which they have perpetrated, yet, at least, on account of the terrible resolution which we are about to formulate, viz: to doom to death whoever, born a Frenchman should desecrate with his sacreligious foot the soil of liberty. We have dared to be free; let us dare to be so by ourselves and for ourselves. Let us imitate the Wm.

Generals and Chiefs assembled here around me for the happiness of our country, the day has arrived, this day which is about to make eternal our glory and independence. If it is possible for a single lukewarm heart to exist among us, let such remove himself far away and tremble to pronounce the oath which is to unite us. "Let us swear to the entire universe, to posterity and to ourselves to renounce France forever and die rather than live under her dominion; wage war to the last gasp for the independence of our country." And you people, too long unfortunate, witnesses of the oath which we take, remember that it is upon your constancy and courage that I reckoned when I launched on the career of liberty to combat the despotism and tyranny against which you struggled during fourteen years;—remember that I sacrificed everything to fly to your defense—relatives, children and fortune and that your liberty constitutes my only riches; that my name held in horror by all the people who advocate slavery and that despots and tyrants pronounce it only School B All Kinds of School B Stationary Wall paper and Pa Sta DEXTERS' OLD STAND.

E. occasion of the first play at the new theater of Negroes in the balcony. Scarcely had the curtains gone, when certain white citizens began the cry, praying the management to refuse the sale of the balcony to Negroes. It is alleged that Negroes because of this disorder they should be barred, such as the circumstances as stated by the ruler to us personally last Saturday morning. Investigation we found several reputable Negroes take affidavit stating that the Negroes who were exceptionally orderly and well behaved seeking to have Negroes excluded from the balcony Negroes, let them be frank and open in the deal the race a double blow—deny them a chance to agitate their conduct at once on a mere occasion was misbehavior at the above named theoreme. And grant further that such caused by a Negro or several Negroes. Is it that Negroes present misbehaved? And if only a few have received no conclusive evidence that any of all be subjected to humiliation because of the proposition in another light. If an Irishman, a youth, or several youths, had acted unruly or the petitioners have asked that all, Irish, could be expelled from such privileges, because rude and misdirected individuals? Intention is raised to secure for the race any denial. But we do desire adequate accommodation for enlightenment when we have the money and wives, mothers and sisters must be for practical culture if no better accommodations can be than the gallery, where the riff-raff and raid all places gather. Petitioners have been unfair and mean to selfish when we shall denounce such action as non-Arts twentieth century culture. On the occasion of the first play at the new theater seats were sold to Negroes in the balcony. Scarcely had the curtain fallen on the final scene, when certain white citizens began the circulation of a petition praying the management to refuse the sale of tickets for seats in the balcony to Negroes. It is alleged that Negroes misbehaved, and because of this disorder they should be barred from the balcony. Such are the circumstances as stated by the managers of the new theater to us personally last Saturday morning. On investigation we found several reputable Negroes who were willing to make affidavit stating that the Negroes who attended on that occasion were exceptionally orderly and well behaved. If the petitioners seeking to have Negroes excluded from the balcony, because they are Negroes, let them be frank and open in their contention. Don't deal the race a double blow—deny them a constitutional right and stigmatize their conduct at once on a mere subterfuge. Grant that there was misbehavior at the above named theater on the occasion before mentioned. And grant further that such misconduct was caused by a Negro or several Negroes. Is it just to say that all Negroes present misbehaved? And if only a few did misbehave (we have received no conclusive evidence that any of them were rude) should all be subjected to humiliation because of the rudeness of a few? The same proposition in another light. If an Irishman, German, or an Italian youth, or several youths, had acted unruly on this occasion, would the petitioners have asked that all, Irish, Germans, or Italians should be expelled from such privileges, because of the actions of a few rude and misdirected individuals? No contention is raised to secure for the race any degree of social affiliation. But we do desire adequate accommodations for our comfort and enlightenment when we have the money and pay for it. Our cultured wives, mothers and sisters must be forever barred from theatrical culture if no better accommodations can be provided for them than the gallery, where the riff-raff and rabble from all classes and all places gather. The petitioners have been unfair and mean to selfishly injure the race. As men we shall denounce such action as non-American and contrary to twentieth century culture. At Sweet Springs we met the pastor, Rev Wm Divers and his congregation, September 16-17 in quarterly meeting. Owing to the high water which prevailed Saturday, Sunday and Monday, our meetings were not as successful as the previous ones, and yet the work is in good condition. At Lexington, where our quarterly meeting was held September 23-24, with our venerable and most excellent pastor, Rev J Clark, excellent weather prevailed and the meetings were well attended. The pastor had everything in readiness and a splendid meeting was held; two loined the church. Collection amounted to $28.60.

At Blackburn Bro Wm Porter is doing splendid service. During the past three months he has paid off a debt of $2,500. At Pleasant Grove the work is not in a very prosperous condition. Malta Bend is on the up grade with Bro C Tays at the head. All things are working together for good here, and the church is being led to certain victory. At Odessa Bro.

They had a quarrel, and Mary said, Mother, Jimmy is a mean, hateful, boy, and I'm never going to pray for him any more." Yet, in a few moments the mother heard the little girl climb out of bed, fall upon her knees, and say in a tone of guarded indifference: "God, you can bless Jimmy if you want to, but you needn't do it on my account."—Harper's Magazine. and see for yourself the opportunities for making money for home building in Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Texas.

Owing to the rigid quarantine against the yellow fever conditions in New Orleans and other points in Louisiana, some of the state and especially those states, where a large number of the constituency of the National Baptist Convention reside. The Executive Board of the National Baptist Convenhas voted to postpone the meetings which were to have been held in Chicago, September 13-19, '05 to October 25, 1905. As much regretted as it is to take this action it is made necessary by reason of the fact that a large number of persons would be prevented from attending the meetings, who live in the extreme South and Southwest.
