When we held our great mooting on tho

You Were, fortunately for youreolves, prevent
ed by tho influence of the Mayor, who is also
of your political affinity. If you had attempt
ed this wilful uggrcBsion, you would have
brought on the conflict at that tinio; you did
.til on the ISth day' ofVDcccuib.v, i$o?pu sma

tion thereto, and .'rom that dayche amend
ment and tho etcru^.l abolition of laavcry, ca i
iho porpctuai freedom o; tho colored iuan, be
came the irrevocable highest law ath^ho land.
But mark vou 1 This is what- r -- say* Tt Is
what ihn Democratic party . uya-, and insists
upon, and is now struggling to establish. N:t
tD; the Republican Radical :urty. They deny
jtuls. You doubt u?? We will ?h w you we
speak truth.
tth'g question bolag. as wo suppose.:, fcrover,
' settled. was>reopened bv the Radical*, so far
as they could reopep it. Wo deny their right
'or power to do this iawTuHy, but they h.iBist on
it, and .7?vr la the ir-JUto io be tried in tho ^,fe;it
contest how gola0 on.
The Radicals, ;U iSCC, proposed another
amendment tt* the c-jtisOatlion. known as the
foiu'tccnih (14th) amcndiaiC.it. They scut ii,
to ilio Stales for approval. It came to the
same Lcglsl. turvF; for the most part, in the
iSo.ilhcrn Slates whi h had approved and there
by suude the umendmc't. n)jolh?ii;ng slavery
It was the wime Legislature Of South Caroline.
Tho Southern Leg! shvt urea rojeotcd tho four
tceuih amendment, and it was thereby defeat
ed. They did this becaUBo it disfram hliod
their best men. wlm hud done *H) Criminal on
'vflfe .iivo acts, ocopt nach os they "had bceu"
encouraged and uuiod nud supported ?n doi *g
by the poop'o, and it wooid have boen meuu
and dl-^r.icoftt! If the people or than Legislv
turcs had punished thoao wlm were. only par
ticipant*, iit .heir own gtult. Tho Radleulp, !
incapable of distinguishing between memtn^^ i
and generosity, wore fioiocly Irritated at this ro
fual; thcrct'prja they declared our Legisla
tures illogal?the sumo Legislatures which hud
nbollahol slavery and assured your freeaom,
who^e aid ihey had "uvukud and accepted.
They broke up these Legislatures* by military
power, because, they sa'.d, Ihey were "illegal."
They established military governments for a
time, and finally your government, such as It
now is. They call that \#<u. Wo deny it.
If wo are right, 3-ou aro safe. If they are
right and Lho Legislature which made you free
was illegal, thou tho legality of your freedom
is aa open question for tho fut?ro disciwsiou of
demagogues, Radicals and scalawags. It will
bo open merely for discussioh'aud mischief, of
ho prai-'tleal avail, bec .usj wc, every jamb of
us, and of tho Democratic parly, would stand
by you to rosist *uoh a IVnud. Wc ask you to
aVand by its for your own sake?not for our
sake. Wo can and will tako 1 nrc of ourselves.
Wo know how to do that, or to nee that it ;is
dono. Tholr hatred to us was so great that,
for iis mike, with all tholr protended love for
you, they would glvo up your freedom and de
clare it "Illegal." Their hatred to tho slavery
of the colored man was less than their hatred
to the white man of tho Soutfii Their lovo of
freedom for you was less than their love of
jdnvory for us. Do you not sec it; Do yeu
net sco that if the Lcghshitiro which g. vc yoti
freedom was "illegal," its act aLsu must be ille
gal ? Do yor. tiot acc who d!d th'a, and that
ihey have failed to scc.rc from tho Legisla
