[Beforethe Palmetto Literary society, Vay'' J:i. 1900] , It 1b with no ordinary pride tbat I raise my .j voice fearing no suooesaful con tradiotloo, s when I affirm tbat the onion never mad* npon the Sooth. It waa not the Union *tny lellow-ooontrymen that alew yoor childWn, { It waa not the oolon tbat horned yoor cities, l It waa not the onloa that laid waate yoor I ooontry. invaded yoor homes, and mocked ai N yoor calamity, It waa not the onion tbaVreconstructed yoor 8tatea, it waa not the onloa 1 ibat disfranchised yoor citizens and denied ' v them tbe participation In their own government. JSo. uot charge not these wrongs on the V.inlou of our fathers! Every one of tbeae 0^ wrongs were Inflicted by a diabolical secttobhIIriii, In the very teeth of every prtnoiple of j the American union. So equally, I say that' J the South uever made war upon the oolon. ^ There Has not beeu an hour when nine out J of t?n of ur would not have given qur lives for thlK union. ( We did not leave the union because we were dissatisfied with it, we did not leave the Union IU matte wur upuu it, uui wo tug union because a sectional party bad seized 11, ' and wa*ioped thereby to avoid a conflict, bat If the war must come we intended to flght?, sectional party and not the union. Tbere^ ' fore the late war with all its disastrous consequences, was the direct result of sectionalism in the North, and sectionalism In the Sooth, and none, I repeat of these disasters can be charged to the union. There was nothing in slavery which could justify the North In forming a sectional party I to cripple or destroy It, There was uothlng in slavery which could justify the South In I leaving the union to maintain it. There was no right iu freedom contrary (o the constitution, aud there was no safety lor slavery out of the union. The whole African race, whether enslaved or free, were not worth tne American union. One hour of the American uuion has done more for human progress than all the governments formed by the negro race In six thousand years! And the dear noble sons of the white race, North and South, who fell In the civil ??ar slaying each other for the ' negro, were worth more to civilization and human happiness tbau the whole African race of the world. But we will do Justice to the colored man. We are under the very highest obligations of brave manhood to do Justice to the negro. He Is not our equal, he Is In our power and cowardice takes no ineauer shape than v, hen power oppresses weakness. But In the name of civilization, in the name of our fathers, in the name of forty millions of living whites and of hundreds of millions of tt^elr coming children ! In the ; name of every principle represented by that banner above as, I do protest, to nlgbt, that there is nothing In statesmanship, nothing In patriotism which can Justify Uie peril of the rights and liberties of the white race in wrangling over the rights and liberties of the black raca We have shed more white blood In four years over the liberties of the negroes in these States, than the entire negro race of the world bas shed for their own liberties In all f the ages of the world | and all at the bidding of sectional demagogues who still cry for 1 lucre, and there are yet hundreds of these demagogues now harauguing the honest de luded masses of the North, seeking to keep themselves In power by keeping alive the passions ol sectional hate, nfthe hazard of right and principle intended to be preserved and protected by the American union. God of our fathers! How long, ob, how long shall this madness continue and successfully usurp the places to disgrace the func- I lions of elevated statesmanship. Above all the din of sectloual groveliugs, I would raise my voiceanu proclaim loan our people that there Is do right or liberty forauy race in America have In the preservation of that great American union according to the i principles symbolized by that llag. My countrymen! have you studied this wonderful American system of free government? Have you compared It with other systems and uoted how our forefathers sought to avoid their defects? Let me commend this study to every American citizen here tonight. To him who loves liberty It Is more enohautIng than romance, inore bewitching than love, and more elevatlDg than any other science. Our fathers adopted this plan with Improvements in the details which cannot be found In any other system. With what a noble ImpuUe of patriotism they came together from different States and Joined their counsels to perfect this system, tbenceforwnrd to be known as the American system of free i constitutional government. The snow which falls on Mt. Washington are not purer than the motives which begat jt. The irenh dew laden zephyrs from the orange groves of the South are not sweeter than the hopes Its (ardent) Inspires. Have the motives which so Inspired our fatilers become all corrupt in their children? Are the hopes that sustained them all poisoned In us? Is that blgh expected destiny all eclipsed and before Its noon ? No. no, loreverno! Patriots North! Patriots South ! patriotseverywhere let'shallow tbis year of JaWlee by burying all our sectional animosities. Let's cleave our ears to the men and parties that teach us to hate l?uloo hicrh that finer of Olir ftt ther?. Let Southern breezes kiss it Let Southern skies reflect it. southern patriots will love it! Southern sons will dlo tor It, anil as its furls unfold beneath the heavens let our voices unite and swell the loud invocation! Flag of our union wave on! Wave ever ! But wave over free men, not subjects; wave over States, not provinces ; wave over a land of love, liberty and peace, and not over auarchy, oppression anil strife. Wanted. T. I.
