July 31, 1SGS.3rcssrs. Editor#:—T liml in tlio lastissue of the Beil River Nows that the Editors of that paper have taken it upon themselves to publish that the colored orator who spoke at Beulah Church ou Saturday last, stated that “not a single black man joined the party,” and “that the assertion of the colored champion ol the Democracy is entitled to credit, and proves how for the Spectator overshot the mark.As I was the only colored speaker present at the Barbecue, 1 suppose Iain the one alluded to. If 1 am entitled to “credit,” I hop© the Red River News will accord it to me, when 1 state that the account given of the Barbecue at Beulah Church by the Spectator is correct, and that “black men’* did join the Democratic party at the time aud place stilted. In conclusion, I beg to say that I made no such statement as the one attributed to me by the Red River Nows.Yours, respectfully,KING JOHNSON.
