Want to Return to Africa.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb. 8—The following memorial was unanimously adopted ut a mass meeting of colored citizens at Bessemer, Ala., asking congress for the passage of Senator Butler's negro emigration bill:
We, the colored citizens of Bessemer, Ala., favor a complete separation of the races, the emigration of the colored race to the Congo Free State, and we hope Senator Butler's bill will be passed. We believe it will be better in every way for our race to go back to our own country where we belong. We are in great political trouble here, but we cannot help it. Time has brought it on us. Let knowledge have her way. Knowledge says go and we will go if the government will pass the bill.
