I urn not going to be intimidated from speaking tho truth. I always have add always shall defend every citizen in what ia lawful and . orderly, so that thoy shall have protection for their lives, their liberty and their propurty. "Every man's house is his castle," and the strong arm of tho Governraont will bo used to protect you, your wives and children. Tho Republican party is charged with fostering dishonesty.; Thcro is, no doubt that 'hero are, dishonest men iu that partyj but uro thero not likewise dishonest uieu in the Democratic party ? All parties have their share of dishon esty. There may bo dishonost mon in tho Legislature. I don't propose to defeud any of these, and will not give them my support. The pcoplo have a remedy for all this, which is plain, adequate und complete. Not iu midnight assassina tion ; not by burnings aud stripes. You can't remedy it by killing colored mcu, or by abusitig and ill-treating the In. J If the object of this K hin is to kill let jthctn take the thieves, but let alouo the innocent man, whose only crime is fealty to the party which gave him freedom. But, no matter what may bo a man's crime, it is no just cause tor his murder. There is no excuse forgoing into a man's house at night, taking him out from his family und brutally murdering hTni. li' any of the Democratic party know of any dishonest act. done by officials, let them go to the grand jury, which is the most terrible engine that can bd brought against them. Aud now, if there are any ol this Klan within the sound ol my voice, 1 can tell them, that, when they kill even a dishonest man, their crime is locked upon hy the Courts here below, and tliafhigher Tribunal above, as n foul and bloody murder. My fellow citizens, let me ndviso you /to call upon Governor Scott for protec tion. It is his dn.'ij to sflord it ; but my friends, I am almost doubtful if that duty will be performed. If he does re 1f;isc; call on the President of (ho United States, General 11 rant will f>eo that the laws arc thoroughly executed. Those laws will protect you. Hear what the law known ns the uKu Klux Bill says. A part of sect ton two of this law rcutjs ts follows : "If any person go in disguise np ni the public highway or upon the promi ses of another, for tho purpose, either directly or indirectly, of depriving any person or ohms of persons of the erjual proteotion of the laws, or of equal prie ibyes or immunities under the fairs, or fur the purpose of preventing or hinder ing the. constituted authorities of any State from giving or securing to all per sons icithili SHch State, the equal protec tion of the laics, or shall conspire together for th - purpose of in any manner im peding, hindering, obstructing, or def at iug the due course of justice in any iStttte or Territory, with intent to deny to any citizen of the United States tha due and equal protection of the /?irs, or to injure, any jterson in his person or Jets property for lawfully enforcing the right of any person or class of persons to the. equal pro tection of Me laws, d-c, each and every person so offending shall bo deemed guilty of a high crime, and, upon o~n viction thereof in nny district or circuit court of the United ?States or district or supremo court of any Territory of the Unitod States having jurisdiction of similar offences, shall be punished by a lino not less than five hundred nor more that, five thousnud dollars, or by impris onment, with or without hard labor, as J the court uitiy determine, lot a nerind ??f ii t less thuti six months nor more than six years, as the court may determine, or by both-such Jij^c*wid imprisonment as tho court ehall '-rffcenllhi*^ ^ ^ If there are any of this MystXioV fOrdtff^re^setit heap, fn-^ay^jet nio say' to them, that steps arc even tmtr heilig taken to ferret oat every one of them. '.The, iitiifi bf yoU are. hnown, and if it ftakos five years-, every one of you will h? brought to justice. It is Governor .Scott's duty to sco that this is done. It makes no difference whether a mail U a "carpot-bsggcr," D "scallawng" or a colored man, il ho la honest and compe tent, we have a right to place him iu any position to which we may sec fit aud pro per to call him ; aud it 'may as well.bc distinctly understood here t i flaV', that we intend to exercise that Vight without any regard to the threalcnings 6r actions of tlu Ku Klux Ki.m. If all outside souVWbs of protn-ihu! fail, we havo a remedy within ourselves. That a party, which iu this State tineta majority of thirty thousand, should sub? mit to such outrageous organizations, is nstouinhing. Governor Scott owos it tu tvery otlC^Ku Kfux well \t; ^uvr-i^L?. have this order puf down nt ones. Now, what is our condition her?? Thero are two blacks to every white man. Can these two submit to thOTuu* ? Tho time is not fur distant \AiMi|5for evj|J*y onja imurdcred by the Kit Klux Klan tm> of their nuinbor, or st/niftutnitrs, will sur Ifer. When that t'^ne>?oe* come,-who will be held responsible before the wo? id for all tho woos and tifllictions which it will on'tuil upon ui t It is eaid that the good people of this place uro not in any sympathy with this organization. I dou't behove all of them are, buj ilioifuot dl'joue hfcnpVed jnd fit', 'ty ? mod and* disguised meu entering the tpwn nt midnight, und .u,q. effort boiug put 'forth for their detect ion by these tjood cittzeH4t shows that, nt least, an al mosit passive pr'criminal acquiescence in their hellish objects exist*. (They bolicvo tlu't such an organization will destroy the. Republican party. They know not the strength of this party, which stands by tho pthicinlii rather than men. It was this party, my Col ored friends, that, advocated the loosen ing of yoar chuius, when you were pow erless to placu any one in olnee. Keep true to the party of your liberation. Cast behind you thq sophistry of the Democratic party. All the rights you enjoy this day you received through the mighty efforts of tho Republican party; and it will be as true to you as was Ruth of old, who said, "Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following alter,th.<e, fur whither th?U g?oit, I will go, apd- where thou, longest I will lodge ; thy people shlill be my people, und thy God my God." Let us, therefore, unite to-day as one. man.

And no-.v. my friends, I would tidviso you to watch this Klan; find them out, and keep the information to yoursolvea until the proper lime ar rives when you can make gVVod two of your knowledge.

Tho time may come when you will pay ten times more to 11 lawyer to save your nock from a halter, than tin? attention 1 you have bestowed upon the advice I give ! you to-duy.

My Rcpub] lean friends, when the Democrats tell you of dishonest Repub lican officials in South Carolina, and give you that as a reason why you should desert your pally, point them to New York city, governed stud controlled by Dein erat?, where for every thousand dollars missed here, they nfeal n million. This very city of Now York is the very strong hold of the Democracy. I thank you, my friends, for the at tention you have given to nty remarks, and 1 trust it will be the last time 1 may ever have cause to speak to you on the tin pleasant subject that has caused you to meet this day.
