Summary

The Planet emphasizes the racism of the Richmond Dispatch and talks about their “chronic attacks of Negro-phobia.”

Transcription

The Richmond Va., Dispatch continues to suffer from chronic attacks of Negro-phobia. From its position in favor of a constitutional convention it ingloriously retreats, and assigns as its reason that a Negro’s vote will have as much weight as that of a white man’s.
It is a pity that no senitorium exists in this country for the cure of such ailments. This journal and its management have our sympathy.
