Tho relation I bear to tlie people of tlio Carolines, while temporarily charged with the supervision of their Gocerninent, impArls addi'iona! interest and gratification to the honor ^ conferred upon nni on the presen' occasion, by so many persons of consideration. I j presume some of you may expect from ine i intimations of my lino of conduct. I shall j" not, I fear, gratify even a reasonable degree of curiosity on that subject, llut j nt aU events, I may, without departing | from the reserve imposed on mo bv niv official position, and its responsibilities and duties, tell you what I shall not rlo. First, I shall not, f.'r a moment, thin!* of depriving rovself of the able and efficient ! co operation of our old" fri?nd?-(iove?nor.j Orr. [Great cheering!] Nor shall [ fail j to avail mysc f of J.he aid and assistance 1 of any other civibollic.tr in South Carolina, \ who perform* his duty as zealously and i faithfully as I know Gov. Orr has endeavored to discharge his duty. [Cheers. J Gentlemen, I am sure 1 can add, not j only for myself, but for every officer of the armv of the United States, serving under ; toy command, that under no circumstances j will we sanction any'act of injustice, spoliation or wrong commuted upon any citizen ol r^ortli or iJoitth Carolina. Gentlemen, I will oiler to you another Assurance ; you have my authority for the statenierit to capitalists, traders, to manufacturers?to aH who desire to etnhark in your agricultural lieftl of labor, and to a'l who wish to invest moneys"in your eecui rities and in your lands?that the military authorities will uo nothing tending to impair the value of your possessions, or to increase thn risks of those who have here tofore embaiked in enterprises on vonr aoil? Whatever we can-do to strengthen confidence in your resources, and to pro note the material prosperity of the cotn Huonwealth, sh*l! be done, m I concur heartily in the confident ox pectations which have been expressed as ' to your future. 1 am one of those who believe that there are few things impossi Lie to Americans I believe that the civil tfind political misfortunes, the disasters in trade and agriculture the privation-, hopes and discouragements you hnrdsuf fered, and which would hare crushed a!" most any people who had not extraordi nary energies, perseverance and faith in the future, will all ho conquered by the elasticity, vigor and fortitude characters tic of the American people. There is botuing in the history of South Carolina that suggests that you are an exception to iheso traits of our ccuntrvmen. It may not be unbecoming in me to sav, although you would, perhaps, refrain from saying so yourselves* that, in the war which has just closed, the people of tho South have shown such resources, ato] the ability to employ tbe:n, and audi enorgr. and resolution, and ^tourago, as will, if "Wisely* directed, uurinouiu greater l liiculties than are now before them. I will go further, and venture a stig gestion in reference to your line of action | Of cotirse, 1 shall not trespass u;*;n the j political 'arena ; for as to that . I am as j ranch disqualified as bis Excellency the j Governor, though not.by a constitutional amendment. [Laughter.] I shall ab tain, as 1 am required to do by tbe duties of mv position, trom anv allusion to the political bearing of anv matter which.yon have to consider. With this reservation, let me say to you, gentlemen, in all can dor, that one ofjhe first duties von have j to discharge to yourselves an 1 to rour i fellow-citizene, is to remove all distrust as j to .your purposes, feel ir?tis and in ten lions J * In the future towards the colored race; this distrust*!*, in my judgment, the main obstacle to the cordial eo operation and good understanding of the two races ? The causes for the existing alienation should, perhaps, ho looked for in the early history of your State and her former in stitutions. Hut these are*c.*nsi(i?rations of the past# I do not see, from mv point of view, any reason ?why the undoubted j identity of interest that does exist, and ' must e.ver exist, between the white and | colored races in South Carolina, shall not ' rpsult in their pursuing tn common all the i ends of soc:ety and govern m?nt as hearti t It and successfully as if the old relation , of master and slave had never existed.? [Applause.J One method of reconeilia linn is so nearly allied with the d ischarge i of my own duties, that I will add to this suggestion an. illustration. *1 think it ^>e hooves every white man, ami most es pecially every white man of consideration sod influence iu South Carolina, to exert that influence, be it little or rr.u fi, f .r'.l.a , fair, hones* amf impartial execution of t1 e : latfn, which secure protection to person, character and property. Whosoever is concerned?be he while sor colored?be ; lie rich or poor?you must carry this ""solution with veil to tln? jury box, to the ( ballot-box. upon the seat or jnvticp, in your municipal government, in your halls ; of legislation, and to your reconstruction ronvunuon w nen u aiiau meet tV'osl justice should bo a cardinal maxim in tlm polity of your State, n.it onlv because it is your interest to have a contented, pros perotis and liappv laboring population.-; Lut for higher reasons, because it is just and right. [Cheers."] Iftbecolored p?o pie arc ignorant and poor, an<f prone to error, the evident lesson must commend iteelf to the heart nnd Conecience of every pood citizen, that the poor and ignorant should enjoy the protection of the rich, intelligent and influential citizen. It is my belief, that when yon have convinced the colored people by your laws and your administration of them that you mean to do them justipc, yon .rill have solved the most dilScult problem you Imvo to con aider in yr>nr affaire. ,Vf.u will, at the same time, o*bviate nineteen out oftwenty of the instances in which the exercise ef military authority in your affairs becomes necessary.
