Ackiiowledging the lidelity ;tl the services of the negro in the past, I feels timt. lie is the colored maii's best friemil, his natinil guide and protector, lin fine, lie desires and advocates a poli ey that will secure the black m'a en durin ig good, and iake him a vaiable ilement, in the lind. Nor are the whites inehiied to rfinse to him anytLing of civil and political statu.s, that he in rea ion may claim. We have said that we ire willing to concede to hinm all of civil rights, and to give him, according to bii lit iiess, tile high trust of suffrage. [Let tis deal' with thi (uestioll. as of rih1L it 8s oIr m1 to do, anid we will throw 1 rounid tle freedman--freed hy Sith Uaroliii's (yin laws-thie potecti power of all that remains of the anucieit iovereigitV M ti le State. h'lie colored man is tauiiiglt by demagogues and filse Leachers to look North for his safty d1)l lis future ; and yet, we confidentl'y dli rim, dmt there exists North a fair trienIter pjuimdice against, his color thatn It thiit 80outhi. N or, as we believe, is he day far distant, when, on the floor of some national body, the Sou-hern man will be fiund pleading for the just rights >f his former slave. Thits onch fur tei rolations between the two classes of thI Ieple at lie Sout b1. As it regar's, now, the powers of .axationi, conterred in the provisions of he Constitution under review, wo con. .enld ditt they are utijust, dangerons, *n'reasonable, nay, ouitrag'oils. To this oln, we would drect thme ;pecial attention of the Reconstruction Domittee, who are to pass upon these .rave matters. Under the workinigs of lie i.ev Constituition, it, will result that It.se who havd no jno))rtJ)Ci arot to nlpose axes upon those who hold all the proper y. The legit;ltor, i laying taxes 111pon >thers, is usually restrained by his coi. tideration that the tax iilpoedl il Fall ilike ipoi his own propirt.y, and tiat, of us nei glihor ; and this is a powurful ele nemit i kIei-piig one from arbitrary ex. ses. iul here ni) such restrainiing )micilple would operate ; no such con tervative infl uenicle moderate tle delicate lower of taxation. Thie. non tax-pmyer nay lay almost any burdenii upon the ax payimg and pr->perty-holding. The iower exists, and the probability is that lie power will be abused. The conse. luenco is, that we may have under the lew Constitution. taxation to die death )f all enterpriso, of all prosperity, of all .ho State's material interests--ta xatioi vei to cusfiscation. But further -the vhItos or property-holdera being virtu. illy unrepresented in the State leistla nre, there will be, and that, too, in its iost. oppressive form, tu.ution withouot -epresenitation. Upon this lpoint--upon his great wrong--our forefauthets wenit uto dihe Revolumtioin o'' 1'Z7, aind yet it s proposedl to enithronec this odiotis priti. aiple evemi in thie Const it ution of South iJarolina I South Carolina, one of the Old Thirteen," that foughit the battle 'or human rights in the infauncy of this R~epublic. But your Chairman asks me how it tuould anmswver to irisert in the now CJon titttion a provisioin to -the eff'ect that, ho non-taxpayers be debarred from Toting on questions of taxation on prin ~rty. I iinswer, dat were that practi able. aiid could it be carried out, it vould relieve the Constitution sonme ilhat of its excolptionaible features, and hope your committee may roeviso it in ,hiis, as wvell as in other respects. In iddition,nhow, to what, imts been said on his 'tubject of taxation, let'us say, Mr. Jhiairmani, that, it is estimated that, un ier thme taxing provision of the nowv Coii n~ituttion for our State, the snim of two milhionis of dollars may be raised annu tily in the way of taxes.; arid yet,, in lie pahniest days of Sotuth Cauroliina, the -stato, it was thought, could not well ear a tax of more than three hundred itnd lif ty or four hutndrmed thousanid dollars per annumtu. Of this largo stum, except ing the small amount .to be realized from lie poii tax out the negroes, and except. ing thbe smaller sum to be derived from Lthe property held by dihat, elass, all will some from the whites of the State. Fnr Lhcr -of thisa *2,000,000 alluded to, it is estinmated that nearly one million of :lollars wvould be devoted to the ednca Liitnal fund. Now, observe thbat neatly Ill of this fund will be derived fronm th~e whiites, andm yet the educational ad van tages will *rccrues to the blacks alone. md for this reason--the putblic schoeolt stablished by the Constitution, alihough spen to both races, in VieW of the tastes and sentiment of the whites,'irill be en. joyed by die blacks.. itThuts the whites will be taxed, and most heavily tiuxed, ror the education of the blacks alone. We are anxions to provtde for thie edit. cation of all classes of ouir people, and wee desire to elevate the colored neople jlaced in outr midst by Provideine. 1t14. we dionnomie tiV- 4yw*em pr '4<, 1and pr0r.s: a a:nstd th '4 en'r1only bintg4 foisted uploni us.
