out threatenings ngainst tho public of
ficers? If their real object was to pre

in tho bright light of day, and then they
would have beou assisted by cvory hon
est man in Orangeburg.
I urn not going to be intimidated from
speaking tho truth. I always have artd
always shall defend every citizen in
what is lawful and orderly, so that they
shall have protection for their lives,
their liberty nnd thoir property. "Every
man's house is hie castle," and the
strong arm of tho Government will bo
used to protect you, your wives and
children.
Tho Republican party is charged with
fostering dishonesty. Thcro is, no
doubt that thero arc, dishonest men in
that party; but aro thero not likewiso
dishonest mcu in the Democratic party 1
All parties have their sharo of dishon
esty. There may bo dishonest men in
the Legislature. I don't propose to defend
any of these, and will not give them my
support. Tho peoplo have a remedy
for all this, which is plain, adequate and
complete. Not in midnight assassina
tion ; not by burnings aud stripes. You
can't remedy it by killing colored mcu,
or by abusing; and ill-treating them,
i If tho object of this K Ian is to kill lot
(them take tho thieves, but let alone the
jinnoccnt man, whoso only crime is fealty
jto the party which gave hint freedom.
Hut, no matter what may be a man's
crime, it is no just cause for his murder.
There is no excuse forgoing into a man's
house tit night, taking him out from \\U
family and brutally murdering hTtii. Ii'
any of the Democratic party know <?l
any di^honc t net dotlo by officials, let
them go to the grand jury, which is the
most terrible engine that can bo brought
against them. Aud now. it there are
any ol this Klan within the sound of
my voice, I can tell them, that, when
they kill even n dishonest man, their
crime is locked upon by the courts hero
below, and thnt*highcr Tribunal above,
as a foul and bloody murder.
.My follow citizens, lot mo advise you
/to call upon Governor Scott for pr?tec
jtion. It is his duly to afford it; but my
friends, I am almost doubtful if that
duty will ho performed. If ho does re
fuse, call on the President of tho United
States, -General Untnt will r,co that
tho laws arc thoroughly executed. Those
laws will protect you. Hear what the
law known ns the "Ku Klu>: Bill says.
A part of section two of this law read.-,
tu follows :
"If any person go in dtsguiso npon
the public highway or upon the premi
ses of another, for tho purpose, Cither
directly or indirectly, of depriving any
person or class of persons of the eijual
protection of the laws, or of equal prir
ilegct or immunities vudcr tlw lairs, or
for the. purpose of 'preventing or hinder
ing the. constituted authorities of any
State from 'giving or securing to ml per
sons within such State the equal protec
tion of the laws, or shall conspire together
for th" purpose of in any manner im
peding, hindering, obstructing, or def at
ing the due course of justice in any Stale
or Territory, with intent to deny to any
citizen of the United States the due and
equal protection of the Artcs, or to injure,
any person in his person or kisproperty
for lawfully enforcing the right of any
person or class of persons to the. equal pro
teetion ef the laws, <fv., each and every
person so offending shall be deemed
guilty of a high crime, and, upon o~n
viction thereof in any district or circuit
^ court of the United States or district or
supreme court of any Territory of the
United States having jurisdiction of
similar offences, ?hall bo punished by a
line not loss than five hundred nor more
than livo thousand dollars, or bv imnris
u..u>Wb, wuh or Without hard labor, as
tho court may determine, lor a period of
net less thuti six months nor more than
six years, as the court tuny determine,
or by both such ^icnml imprisonment
net tho court ehall d*cri$iriiir*? ^ ^
I If thero aro any of this .MystXndV
fOrdtfa^.ryont icjsj, ty-j^y^ Jk* t me say*
to them, that strps are even uo\r being
taken to ferret out every one of tlx in.
(The most of you are known, and if it
takes live years', every one of yon will
ho brought to justice. It is Governor
.Scott's duty to seo thu'i this is done.
It makes no dili'orence whether a man
is a "carpet-bagger," a "scalLwng" or a
colored man, ii he is honest aud compe
tent, wc have a right to place him in any
position to which we may see lit aud pro
per to call him ; and it may as well.be
distinctly understood here ti-iny, that
we intend to exorcise that Vight wit!,on!
any regard'to the threatenings or actions
of th j Ku Klux Klun.
If all outside so?rces of protection
fail, wc have n remedy within ourselves.
That a party, which in this State fcuein
majority of thirty thousand, should BuO*
mit to such outrageous organizations, is
astonishing. Governor Scott owes it tir
every ono^Ku Kfux well V: o?oM^te.

what is our condition here? Thoro are

their number, (.r *i/nipathk<r.<, will suf

will be held responsible before the world
fcr all the wues and afllietious which it
will entail ttpnl us ?
It is said that the good people of this
place are not in any sympathy with this
Organization. I don't believe all of them
nie, but thoj fact of one hundred and !';,'.
'ty a iued and* disguised men entering the
tpwn nt mudnigjit^ avud no effort being
put forth for their detection by these
yotnt citizen*, shows thai, nt least, tin at*
mo.-tt passive or criminal acquiescence in
their helli-di ohjceis exists.
(They believe that such an organization
will destroy the Republican party. They
know not the struugth ol this party,
which stands by the principles rather!
than men. It was this party, my col
ored friends, that, advocated the loosen
ing of jour chains, when you were pow
erless* tp place any one \n office. Keep
jtruo to the purty ol' your liberation.
Cast behind you the sophistry of the
Democrat io party. All the rights yon
enji?y this day you received thr< ugh the
mighty efforts of tho Republican purty,
and it will be as true to you ns was Kulli

leave thee, or to return from following
alter thye, for whither thou g lost, I will
go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge ;
thy people shall Lc niy people, and thy

Ket us, therefore, unite to day as one

of this State, not. as tl favor but us a
right, ample and speedy protection

Mr. Browning made a very forcible
Iaddress* condemned in strong terms all

Iwhito and colored people to live in peace
fund harmony, that their interests were
identical ; eulogized the colored people
for the (|iii< t and peaceable manner in
