A Letter from R. 8. Wealoy,
Ont Monday wo worO han~ded a let
ter wVhich we were told was -semnt to
the lEditor, and oplening and reading
it, we wero filled with sadniess. Th'le
letter itself' is a burlesque upon a
knowlbedge of the principles of govern
mont. llut we have published it to
lot the intelligent reader see what
"stoping to conwquor" will be permit..
ted by the Ra~dicals of' the North rath
er than havo their party overthrown.
If time letter alluded to were from
an intelligent man, it could not ap..
peoar in thos~o colunmis except ias an aid
vecrtisenment, because the intention of
it Seems wholly to be to refute soe
reports against the political character
of the author.
If those wvho symipathize with "thmo
mamn whoi was to be canadw/c for Con-'
gross" will just turn to another col
umn, they will find an article from
the Now Yo'rk Jealad which shows
how mjuch the Northern peoplo think
of the colored 1)00p)1 attempting'to
got into Congress yet.
lTose colored people who remain
ly labor for an honest living and for
an education for themselves and for
their children, are more likely to so
cure the approving help of both North
and South (that is, the decont and
respectablo portion of both sections)
than thoso who now blindly and igno
rantly rush into discussions for which
they are no more qualifled than a
child.
'T.'ho colored people will have the
right to vote for oflicers of both State
and Federal governmient,-and even
of town and city govlernlment, as soonl
as (lie Stato is rostored to the *Uiioni,
bit they should ulerstand that it is
not "all of an office" to hold it, for
there are duties and responsibilities in
every offico for which they are not yet
riualifild. They can find plenty of
friends at home without, like Wesley,
and his party, running offlto the Repub
lican Party for friends who will remaiii
so as long as they reccive political
support from them, but who when the
day of sickness or distress or pain
conmes, will leave them to rot by the
sidoway rather thant extend to them
a holping hand.
No Black Mail's Party.
Thile Newi Ylork 'Iribuie, the paper
which above all others has contribu
ted to the emancipation of the slaves,
says:
Thoso men in the South who are
working to establish a black man's
party are the enemies of this princi
pIe of equality, and if they carry out
their plans, they will strike Republi
canism at blow far heavier than the
)emocracy can deal. They will go
far to undo the.grand reform of which
the waril. was th e instrument. In Vir
ginia, it is feared that the State Re
publ ican Con vent ifn, to be held
August ist, will lie he occasion of a di
vision in the R ipuiblicani ranks and
the creation of rival parties, black
and white. In Missouri, also, there
are adventhurers who urge tle colored

tion. We do iot bel ieve these efforts
will be suis aitel by the colored miin,
for they surely know the fatal results
of such an unprincipled policy.
-We hopo R. S. Wesley, who con
tributes a letter in another column,
will find comfort in the above para
graph from one of the most prominint
Repiblicall papers in the whole Un i
ted States, and that lie will road it to

Seiinng vs Earning Land.
Th'le Radicals who mot in Clolumibia
would comnpel land-owners to sell their

"inildl confiscation." There is no bet

TheIa platform adopted by the convention
of (lie Unaion Itepublican party itn Columbia
on the 15th istant, to a great degree, coam
posed of persons who recenttly settled ini the
State, and anot at all identified in itnterest
with our people, is calculated to arouse (lie
btoretoforo dormaint energies of outr citizens
and briang them intto actiont before it is too
late.
Before suggestinag a remedy which will
thwart. thte evidenat purposes of the extro
mists of thtat conivento, I assumte as a
fixed fact, that (the Coagressiontal plan of
reconstruction will be carried cut, and It Is
without the compass of any political organ.

any party can be successful in Southa Care.
linta which (lees not star~t out, with the Idon
tat, all ahton should be ea'tal Itn all re
spects, legally and politically. The Deato
cratio party being powerless, it is idllo to
look to it for relief. President Johnason, Int

(lie goveranent. There las, thocrofore, no
help to be expeotod froan this quarter.
3 At. the first glansdo ever the Columnbia
platform, iI wonld appear thiat. one of thec
planks it it pointed to a divisiona of thec
lantds; thilsidea was u~eant to be convoyeod
int ordler to scourg (lho votes of the poorer
classes (white arnd colorod) its the State.
But, as little reflection uapons the resolutiont
As a wole, counsidored with'thte fact that an

of the State, The object Is not: to divide
the lands araongst tie poorer Olases *ithin
(he Stato, but to tax them, so as to. Orce
the gale of them to intaigrants and spoeonla
tore at a ruinous sacrifice to (he preseu.
owners, without a shadow of encouragmont
to (ho laboring blacks of the State, who of'
all others should be preferred if any prefer.
enco is to be given.
If the Legislature is to take chargo of
this matter and offer "praoticablo Induce
ments for (he division and sale of the unoc,,
cupied lands," it necessarily atnounts to
either agrarianism or heavy taxation. The
first emphatnically repudiated by the Union
Republican party, and the latter must be
fle pOgramnme. Now, (he question ii,
what. bIpcilt lthe colored people are to do
rive from this, even to lay aside (le unniti
gated injistico to the present owners? The
State mnay be traversed fromt one end to the
other, and not one colored man inl fio hun.
dred will be found able to buy, for cash,
fifty nores of land at $2.00 per acre. And
the consequence must be that, outside spe.
culators and immunirants will be able to buy
(lie lands of our peoplo thus forced upon
tho market at onstifti the real value, and
leave the poor colored laborers in a far
worso condition than they are at present.
Iln faot, it will drive them fron the State.
The aninus, which seemed to govern the
Charleston delegates (especially the wihiltos)
was to ignore the true interest of the agri.
cultural districts and work for themselves
as individuals and city property owners.
They did not have the manhood to adopt a
plattiorn upon which liberal minded mon
could stand, for fear that they might lessen
their own claims for elevation to otlioce, as
is evident from tle resolution which would
bind all members of the party to support
the regular nomines without any reserva,
(ion whatever. Other planks in the plat
form are objectionable, but the two alluded
to, so clearly demonstrate the fact, that the
agricultural interosts of the Stato are to
suffer and that the party must. be obligated
to sustain tie nomiinces without reference
to ability, competeney or honor, that it must
suggest itself to every honest mind that
something should b done to avert th Ie dan
ger. At this time, there are no distinctly
defined party associations in South Caroli
na. It is true, tIhero is a men ningless party
under ex-GOv. Perry opposed to reconstrueI
(ion, bit. this party hans no weight and can
iot possibly carry amauch iaihtltonco without a
radical chtange in its professed object, and
tle only hop poiants to those who are iaa fa

can party North, have set, outwith the Mili
tary Bill as their fundamontal party princi
ple. , They ignore confiscation, agrarianism
and other side issues, and stand squarely
Ltpon the principle of legal and political
equality to all mn1a, without reference to
race, color or previous condit ion. Tle mi
nority of this party, composed of extremists
woutld go farther and include more than
what is set forth in the Columbia platform,
yet both wings act together np to a certain
point. Now, let its look to the retuedy.
ngainst iimnigranits, extremists and land
larks who haive no intcrest in common
willa the people of (ho State. Before tile
sva, Gov. Wise, of Virginia, said (lhe policy t
of t le South was to fight for bor rights in
i lie Union, anl time has proved ltae wisdom
>f tle suggestion vlieh will apply with
,iial aptitude to us in our present condi
lion.
We see thme dominent party in Congress andI
throuotghout (lhe Nott str-etchting forth its
poiwerful armas to ombiraco thae enatire SouthI.
We see the rapid sti-ides of this party in
Virginia and over-y Stato. We see thoir
orgnizations in alnost ov-er-y County and
towatnmaking mSids to suit the particular
sect ions in which they would like to suc
ioed. We seo their plat forms so fr-amed as
to suit the idens of those sections, but in
no case (10 we see a want, of ener-gy and
determination to cary out the end of legal
ad political equality to all men. Thais
grandl object cannot be defeated, but the:
object of designaing men to force the landls'
of our people upon the ,market, open to
speciulatoirs, immigrants and political aspi
rants can be defeated thr-oughi (tho Repuabli
oan party and onaly tharough this party.
I am fully aware of the accumulated pre
judices of thae past fifteen years which are
to be overcome in recommending an asso
ciation with thins party under the name of
Union Republican, but bitter experience
andi the uinpi-omising prospect before us
loenand thaat our policy should be based
upon wise reasoning rather than empty
prejudices.
Contgress will unquestionably give sup,
port, to any reorganization of thie State gov
ernment whioh may bie predicated upon
assurances of the domninancy of the Repub
lican party, no matter what, may be the
partienlar policy of the party withain this
State, and it, rests with the people of
the agricultural (distriots to decide whether
or not extreme radicalism shaall prevail. .
The organization of thae Union Ropnblin
can party in thae upper and interior (listraicts
of South Carolina, based uapon (lie bread
plat form of legal and political equality to all
men, Including a clause condemnatory of
the cotto~n tax and a recomamendation of
optional sales ef land to the poorer elasses
of white and clored labour-ors, will scure,
to our people, success In the coming oloo
tions and the adocpt.ion of a State Coenstitu-.
(ion emabraci ng every just and equitable
provision for securiag to all men their
rights of person and property.
Th'ie agricultural Jlaborers of the Statd
(the blacks) believe the Republicans to be
their true friends, and the acoumnulastion of
ar-guments, piled uponf One another as high
as tho sun, could not convince then to thae con -
trary. Thise taken in connection with the
fact that, they hiavo been taught, to regard
the Democrats as enemies, will at once
show the wisdom' of th'e policy of dorerring
to hiteal projndheds, when so much may be
lost by inasistinag that a rose waid iot

Thoso geItIiomnCII who talk about the

themselves ; they must vork now, and
not depend upon vagno promises of
future aid. As Mr. Speod says, there
is little more that can be done for lie
froodmon ; we have given thei aill
the rights and privileges we ourielves
possess, and the op portuiity iS for

Speed , "be hoinest, iiidustrions, so

homes ; identify yourselves as good
citiZOns With the conunnities in
which you may live ; in all your deal

would be done by, atid to learn to re

spect you." To this wo would add
