Vory rospoot THOMAS HARLAHd/ Aoting Commissioner. ? A. S. WATTOK, Esq., Col. ?d ft 0. Diet, Columbia. x- u 1 ' 1 U Letter from Hon. J- Campbell OiiARLEaTON, August 3, 1808. To Frederick A. Ford, Esq., Chairman Ex ecutive Committee Athen Democratic Club. Dear Sir?I liavo dolayed to tho latest motuont a roply to your lettor of tho 28th ul timo, hoping I might bo able to accept your invitation to bo present at Aikeu to-morrow, to witness your " barbecue to the colored pco. plo, and liston to Gonoral Hampton aud the other prominent speakers from this State and and Georgia, whom you oxpeot." I regret to say I find my engagements suoli that I will not be ablo to loave tho oity during tho wcok j I must, thoroforo, forego tho plcasuro you so kindly offer. It will be a most iutoresting ocoasiou. Its purposo ie one I havo profound ly at hoart. Next to the rescue and restora. tion of our country and its constitution and laws from the saorilcgiouH hands laid upon tbojnJOr destruction?next to tho emancipa tion or my owu race from tho odious aud vul gar slavery coutrived and being attouipted by traitors to their country, their lineage and to civilization?I have at heart tho welfare aud advaucciuent in prosperity aud*.happincss of tho colored raco. Our conscientious and la. boriouB attoution to this purposo is as much a duty to bo discharged as the obligation of a debt. We owe it to ourselves for tho sake of oursclvoB. Itoomcs to us from tho past, and wo owe it for the sake of our children and our country. Aud more sacred than all, wo owo it to the present, for the wonderful loyalty of the colored man to bis owner and bis owner's cause during tho tcmptutions of the war ;? and, considering the natural invitation to ex cesses given by sudden emancipation, and by tbc seductions and charaotcr of tho adventu rers whose influence ho was opon to, wo owo somothiug for his conduct siuoo tho war. In my judgiuout ho is the host friend of the colored man who most practices towards him material aid, teaching him the way to prosperi ty through thrift, industry and oduoation, and who onticcs him least into the field of politics; than which, there is uothiug moro corrupting to porsous like him, just omorging from a condition of pupilage. True, tho discussion of political subjects with tho colored man is at present forced upon us. The circumstan ces in which we aro placed, loavo us no choice. It is a noccssity. But I would not extend tho field of discussion beyond the limit of ac tual ncoessity. I would make him no prom ises which I might not be suro can and will hereafter be performed j I would hold out no hopes to him, which might not believe there will be a reasonable expectation of being re alized. I would tell him, truthfully and frankly, that his present politioal supremacy will not be aud cannot bo pormanent. That the worthless adventurers, who cajole and de ceive him to advance themselves, and, liko a nightmaro, proes their heavy weight upou ns, know this. Thoy havo never intended or ex poctcd tho substantial and permanent ad. vanooment of tho eolorod man. They aspiro to use him, and, for their own selfish purposos, to array him in hostility against those with whom ho was born and has livod, till wo shako ' off their suffocating embrace, when thoy will, liko tho oppressivo spirit I havo likonod thorn to, take their flight and seek more gonial re gions. I would toll the colored man, that, whether thoy shall succeed in this purpose to placo him in hostility to us and thon loavo him, is for him to ohooso and dooido. If ho prof?ra to trust hie future to tho uncertain oontonte of thoir oarpot-bage, rather than ao* copt poaooful and abundant homos on tho for tilo fiolds of his nativity?(fields which thceo false friends first promised, but havo failed to givo to him)?thon it shall not be said, in tho day of his tribulation, that wo did not fatriy toll him in Advance of the fato that waits on that ohoioo. That fato will bo his progressive dogrcdation instead of olovation, and tho grad ual but oortniu cxtiuotion of his raoo?just as tho ludion, who onoo rovod supromo lord of this mighty land, has passed away. Wo oaa promise aud asauro to him equali ty with ourselves in the protection of all his rights of proporty and person undor tho law, because whilo wo had tho power wo gavo all thai, and we intonded it. Thoro is no moro h?ttithfuf J^owor in a nation, or a community, than a thrifty, industrious, educated, moral and rollgious, ?W, rorol, laboring population Tho safety of govoriimcnt aud of oapital rest? soouroly upon suoli a population. Suoh la bor oroatos capital. Oapital nursoe and en courages suoh labor. Thero is ft mutual and harmonious reliance oaoh upon the Othor. Wo can promise, and not fear failure of the promise, to tho colored uiau, to oxert nil tho power wo have to make hie people noli- a pop* ultrtioo, giving, all the oncourngomont which the law a,ud Ite just and faithful administra tion oat* ae?uro, aud all the aid which tho dla^ oroot and sagaoious applioatiou of capital to |abor can give to cloyato thorn to a position so onviabio, ?nd savo tho American portion 'JSif his raoo from extinction. When that titw[ arrives, they may havo a just right to partioL pato in political affairs, and may enjoy it. Bttfr wo can now, at this timo, iu good faith, mako\ to him auy promisos of political concessions?* I vory muoh doubt it. It is a gravo question,, and is to bo gravoly answorod j and if wo aryf to retain ono parti?lo of solf-rospoot, it must' bo answorod honestly and truthfully. Aft present wo are without power, and havo nr>tm| iugtogivc; wo oan only promise; but wo\ know that lato or soon, and wo boliovo voryii soon, tbo powor to rcdoom what wo promise^ with all its responsibilities, will bo upon us. ) I havo said that tbo advonturors who guido ' tbo protont misrulo, kuow it is not durable. Its authors, wbo sont tbcm bere, did not and1 do not intend to givo to tbo colored raoo tho. permanent onjoymcnt of politioal powor. They did intend aud do intend to uso thorn for tbo aoqusition of power for themselves, whiob otherwise they oould not obtain ?r ox* pcot?and after that to loavo their deluded viotims to their fate. Their reconstruction means among controlling men of thoir party nothing more than tbo poudiug Presidential election. What I say does not rost upon my opinion or assertion. Tho doom of this mis rule has becu solemnly adjudged aud recor ded. The groat Atlantic States, New York, Gonucotioutt, Pennsylvania, Now Jersey?tbo Pacific States, California, Oregon?tho migh ty West, her river aud lako States, Ohio, Miobigan (even Michigan, intousoly, hopo lossly lladioal,) Illiuois, Iudiaua, Kontuoky? proclaim with ouo mighty, unitod voice, that the whito man shall, aud tbo oolorod man shall not, partioipato iu and control tho gov crnmcut of this country. Thoy havo pro nouuocd that it shall bo " a whito man's gov* cr?ment," and their voioo is potontial. But thoy havo said that upon this question oacl\_ State is free to spoak for itsolf. Wbo, then,] and what aro tho States ? Alas ! that thoro nhnnld ho need of suoli a question. There was ouoo a Sopth Carolina?she was a State and bad a history, lier history romaius, and, I hope, will evor remaiu iu tbo porpotual mem ory of men. Tbo destroyer oamo, and thoro is now no South Carolina Stato. I do not venturo to oall that limping, tottering experi ment sot up by bayonots, now on exhibition at Columbia?tho shame and ridicule of the nation?a State. *' Mon, high-inindod mon, With powers as far ahovo dull brutes onduod. As beasts excel cold rooks and bumbles rude ; Man who thoir duties know, and knowing dare maintain, And crush the tyrant whilo they roud the chain ; Thoso constitute a Stalo." Suoh mon aro not to be found in the swag gering exhibition at Columbia, which calls it self tbo Stato. Tbo pooplo of the groat States which I havo named'aro at this moment united with ns iu tbo most oventful election this country has over witnessed. It is a lifo and death struggle for tho restoration of tbo constitution aud tbo Union it oroatod?for the revival and preservation of tho stifled ju dicial department of the government?-for tho ro-establisbmont of tbo Constitutional Execu tive powor, now roduoed by progressivo usur pations of tho legislative branch to the mere u shadow of a namo." With us, beyond all this, tbo struggle is for politioal life, for country, for oivilization, for rollof from tho bondago to whiob tho lovo of powor and the hatreds, not tbo purposes, of tho war havo subjected us. With our friends in those Statos, the struggle is to save thorn soiree from ? military despotism seen in the briof distance of tbo future, or from the pres ont vulgar tyranny of a corrupt and foresworn Congress. Thoy seek to avoid tho fate of tho anoiont Samnitos, who, failing both in oour. age to destroy, and in magnanimity to be gon orous, to a oonquored onotny, etrippod and do graded under tho yoke their Roman captives. Thoir reward was tho samo yoko, moasurod by tbo sarao measure, and final ruin. Id this groat oontost wo oan givo but littlo, if any, aid to our friend? ; if our voto is against them, it will bo declared legal and counted for our ftoe mies. If it is for thom, it will bo doolarod il legal, as in truth it will bo, and will not be oountcd. Suoh is tbo lladioal intention.? Good faith thon, and all tho proprieties of our position, require of us to be cautious, that wo do not rink doing injury or causing embarrass4 mont. There is lose danger from saying or doing too littlo than from saying or doing too muoh. Tbat which it* kft unsaid to-day may bo said to-morrow?what is said to-day oannot feo unsaid tomorrow. Nothing would add more to mv mortification and pain at tho close of the prwent canvass, if it should ond in de feat, than to bate it said I had, by any word or not of. ni ino, added a foathor's weight to tho heavy burden our friends undortako in their battle for juetioo arid salvation to the South, before the disordered public son tlmont of tho North and West. Victory? nothing short?might consolo mo for the mor tificatiou that it was wou. iu spite of tho om barroeemcr?e i gavo. I shall not, therefore, ^>y any word or aot during tho canvass, di vergo from what I understand to be the scuti loeut of those States whioh I have named up t y toe Bubjcot of BufTrage or tho political dis ' .iiiitlee or righto of tho colored man. My vVi' judgment Ib that, as a question of polioy, of moro oampaign strategy, it is uuwise to : iako, at this timo, any offers or promises on tho subjoot. It bolongs to the futuro?not tho proaout. Whcu, immediately after the war, President Johnson, in 1805, suggested jj;jto. Governor Orr, to myself, and to others that i It might be well for the Stato, in advanco of fatty attempt to interfere with this quostion, to 'jltop forward and givo a qualified suffrago to fyho oolorod man, I acocded to it as a measure *?f disoroot polioy at that timo. I would uot, at this timo, make that or any other offer or promiso upon tho subject. It was uot thou approved or seconded by others. But instead the ba*U of representation was , itself narrowed, so that tho colored man, un dor tho constitution of 18C5, was no longer what he had always been before, a part of the .basis of roprcsentatiea. This was achei ved A-j tho votes aud iufluouoc of Governor Orr and Judge Moses over tho opposition of Cbcif Justioo Dunkin, Judge Iuglis, Judgo Word taw and the lato Judgo Frost, and otbor dis tinguished and influential men. Without thorn, or cither ouo of them, it oould not have been dono. i Tho presont happy relations between tho oolorod politioians and Meesrs. Orr and Moses may bo taken as ovidenoe that the former arc by no means unforgiving to those who would exolude thorn from all reprcsoutation, thus placing them below tho grade of property. . ' But there is another consideration of this [subjoot, of great and turning woight, if wo ! aro froc to doal with it at this lime. The !iwJt\ is, the oolorod politicians bayo not by their publio couduot, sinco thoy havo hold power, ro co mm ended tho m sol ves to tho favor I aldo estimate ot tnoir wm, mona, vt ic<Un. ; ting men gonerally. They uoither assume tho administratioQ of powor themselves, nor oonfor it upon such mou as they know to be fit and proper. Thoy havo douo exactly the contrary; they have pluood in power men whom they would uot themselves trust for a day's wages. If by suoh oourscs thoy oxpoct to gain tho oonfidonoo or good will of tax-pay ers, holdora of laud, of oapital, and of substan tial people generally?-in fact, of wlmtovcr constitutes a State?they greatly deceive themselves. If wo think such oonduot offers a proper opportunity to approaoh the colored man with concessions, we aro, I think, woful ly mistaken. Of thoso who at this timo form ! tbc de facto government of South Oaroliua, thore is not ouo who might not find hia poor and superior among tho colored pooplo. Who would not say that DoLargc, Oardoza, Whip por, Wright and Cain aro botter mon than any one of the four mombors of Congress by them aud by thoir tsfluonoo iufiiotod upon tho pooplo of this State ? Loss oannot be said of the oolorod politioiaue than that they havo failed in fidelity to thomsel wt and to tho groat body of the peop?o and the property of tho I State. In thoir late Convention, in their presont Legislature, the colored clement was and is vastly superior to the whito, not only, j in numbers, but also in character, in deport I moot, in education, and in all the elements j whioh make substantial respectability. They, too, wore really reprosoutativos of somothing and of somebody. Thoy represent labor aud a largo population of their own raco, and they ; oould, had they been wieo, havo mado thour eelvos tho representatives also of oapital and tho white raoo. But, as I havo said, they failed in fidelity to thomselvos to tho whito population, and to tho proporty of tho Stato. Tho whito olomout of thoso two bodies repre sented nothing aud nobody but themselves. Neither labor, nor property, nor population, nor learning, nor civilization, oan olaim thorn as representativos, and if thoy had or have constituents, thoy nro far away among tho onomios of our own people and of thoir pros perity. And yet it oannot be doniod tho ool orod politicians knowingly and willingly sur render themsol <ca and tho power entrusted to thorn to suoh keeping. Shall wo, thon, at a timo liko tho prosont, and undor the oircum stanoes we are in, soek suoh an alliauoo ? I hopo not. In conclusion, I havo a few plain words for the oolorod pooplo?dirootly to thorn?truth fully, if not agreoably. I havo a right to ad vise thou, bcoause I am their friend. They ; know I am- I say to thorn, then, "You can- \ not and will not bo permitted to participate permanently and substantially in the political power of<> this oountfy- or an; part of it.? Remember what I sty. You may bo soothed by the illusion of a qualified suffrage. That will bo for the educated and the property-hoi dors among you. Thoy arc bs few that it will givo you no power, not oven, the shadow of ?. This is tho'wniTJi man's ootwtriV:' it is his government, and ho intends to kcop both.

You may live boro if you will, poaccable, happy and prosperous undor the protoo* \ tion of our lawe, just ae wo are protootod, with no distinction or inequality ;, but you cannot govorn us. You cannot Say this is unreasonable or unjust. It is what you say to the white man in your own countries and gorcrnmontfl. There is a free and pros* pcrous oolorod government, a Republic upon tho model of our own. It has a Prosident, Senate, House of Representatives aud o .Tudi dioial Department like ours. From it you havo excluded tho white man. Ho is assur ed of the protection of your laws, just as you \ are protected by ours, without distinction.? Hut he has not, aud cannot havo political power, or vote, or hold office; or participate iu the administration of tho government.? Such is the republic of Liberia. That is uo place for carpet-baggers. There aro in that atmosphere no attraction for them. So, also, it is in St. Domingo and Ilayti. They aro tho colored man's governments. And if you will, you, also, may have other governments of your own, but thoy will not be in the Uni. ted States. If every whito inhabitant of ! South Carolina?if every whito woman or child in the Southern States should oonsont and agrco to it, you would not bo permitted by the people of tho North and tho West to establish a Liberia, or a Domouican, or a Hnytieu government within the United States Tins matter is in their hands, not ours. Nor is thero to be any partnership botweon tho whito aud colored man in the government of this oouutry. Thoro is no middlo grouud in this matter. Tho government must bo alj white or all colored Do not your pretended friends tell you t' is, or at least show that they mcau thie, when they ehut you out by thoir commands or entreaties from Congress ? where they aro for the time supremo ? ' 1 know it is said, you aro told, you say it too, that tho suffrago oucc givon to you and exoroisod, cannot bo takon away. Somo of you cvoji threaten tu? nitwit, will ho followed by bloodshed. That will be as you may choose. I was once a voter. It was my birth-right. My ancestors, under "Washing ton and his couipocrs, thought thoy had for ever secured the right to thoir dosoondants.? i It has becu takon from mo. Tho bayonet, ; aud powder and ball, with the blue coats, did I it, and they will do tho aame for you, whon law or the color of law, or the voice of tho white people, bids them do it. Our people fought them four years, and we had enough of it. You may try it if you choose. I shall not fight them or you for my right to vote. Tt will come without that, and yours will fail with or without it. You trust to your present allies, who forced suffrage upon you, not for your sake, but against us aud for thoir own gain. You think they will stand by you 7 You arc deluded. " Blood is thiok or than water." Tho groat masses of the pooplc will stand by ue?by thoir own hace.

EBBI The Black Mau at the South, The black man, as he stands now, a freo man, at tho South, is but a laborer, uttorly uuaoquaintod with business and luws,, and .'... ? any. kind of art above tho eiuiplost manipula tions of ?rdiuary industry, lie has no ad ministrative talents, littlo forocaeto, tho small est degree of provident caro, and w tempted into oxtravaganoo most easily. He it ordina rily gentle and gonorous: but oroduloutf, h aper? ti tous, easily misled and roadily invoigled into piote and sobemos to gratify animosities implantod by dosigning persons. While no great portion of men are naturally iucliuod to industry, tho black race arc less so than any save tho Indian. Yet, if let alone, aud made content by kind treatment, directed by good discipline and rules, ho is a good labor er?valuable iu the liold. This is the frccdman of the South. It is plain that such a man aunt lean upon others able to take care of public order, and direct wisely and prosperously private cutcrpriso and industry. Tho question is, should ho roly for this sort of assistance aud protcotiou upon people who reside in another part of the Union, or upon those amougst whom he lives ? What interest have those people at the North who desire to control him iu hi8 ooi duot or his wclfaro beyond his vote at tho pol s ? None. What can they do to hotter his physioal condition? Nothing. They have no occupation for him, and they proposo to give him nothing. They only imbuo his mind with hostility towards tho whito peoplo, who arc his neighbors, because that ncocs sary to mako him voto as thoy wish hiui.? Tho philanthropist, so-called?the fanatic, iu faot?who obtrudes himself upon tho nogro may have friendly motives towards him ; but his offioiousticss arouses tho samo unkind fccliuge iu the breast of the colored man to wards Southern whites that arc incited by tito Northcru politician and oarpct-baggcr. The iutorfcrouoc of all these people only brings evil upou tho blank ujun, -whose wel fare thoy profess to desire. ? They alienato hiui from the only peoplo who can really mnko him comfortable. They beget atrifo between him aud his sincere frcinds?thoy who under stand his disposition well, and know how to satisfy his wants?and who are, inorcovcr> sincerely disposed to afford him ovory oppor tunity for improving his condition aud in creasing his knowledge. As long as the outsiders, who arc ultovly ignorant of the black man's true character, and who really have no idea of doing anything for his permanent physical benefit and com fort, interfere between him nnd his own Southern white neighbor, there must be ali?n ation and want of harmony between I hem; in other words, strife?a strife which may not bo bloody, but yet disastrous to both. Their mutual interests must suffer by want of co operation and harmony iu the daily eoonomy of lifo. Production must bo as it has boon very muoh curtailed ; and there must bo a soaroity of money aud a eoaroity of provisions. Want and distress must follow, and upon whom will it fall heaviest ? Upon tho black man, who is without moans nnd without a homo. [Richmond Z>isj)u!ch. Want of Couraok.?Sydney Smith, in his work on Moral Philosophy, speaks in this wiso of what mon loso for the want of a little bt ss, as it is termed ; * ? A groat deal of talent is lost to tho world for tho want of a little courage. Evory day sends to their graves number of obscure men who have only romninod in obscurity bo* oauso thoir timidity has prevented them from making a first offert, and who, if they could only havo bcon induced to begin, would in ali probability havo gone groat lengths in tho ca reer of fame. Tho fact is, that in order to do any thing in this world ,worth doing wo must not stand shivoring on the bank and thinking of the cold and dangor, but jump in. and scramble through as well as we can. It will not do to be perpetually calculating risks and adjusting nice chances ; it all did vory well boforo tho Flood, when a man could oon Ho.lt his friends upon an intended publication . for a hundred and fifty years, and then Hyo to soo its suoccss for six or seven centuries af terwards ; but at present a man waits and doubts, and hesitates, aud consults his brojl er, and his uncle, nnd his first cousin, and hie particular friends, till one day ho finds .that ho is sixty-five years of ago, that ho nas^l?st so much time in consulting first cousins and particular friends that ho has no more time loft to follow their advioo.
