Columbia. Frauds of a most gigan
tid character have already been ex.
posed, and the base porpetrators of
them are known throughout the en

prompt and decisive action.
Is is plain that it is no easy task to
decido upon the proper course to pur

Thos situated, It would appear, upon

suggest a line of policy that is to work
out the redomption of the State. Oije
fLct stares us steadily in the face; and
that is, thUt this work of rodeiption

plish.
Those, who would assist uS, arn
powerless to act. The herculean
task is for our hands only, and the
sooner we rbalieo this, the better for
us in the end.
A swarm of adventurers, without
scruple and character, and more
loathsome than the locusts of Egypt,
have settled down upon the State,
and nro now eating itato, and deodroy.
ing her vecry vitals. lTheir idiluenecc
upon our colored citiaens has well
nigh rained the State; and no era of
prosj elity can Sot in, until thby he
got rid of. Let honest mech of both
colors expose these scoundrels; and
hold up before the ignorant miasses
the basen as and cupidity of sneh
meon, who, impelled hither by a dleire
for plundor, im~posc upon, and deceive
the colored people as to their designs
and intentions.
We rejoice te know that somec of
the colored pcople hazve their eyes at
last oipen to the real motives that in
duced this horde of vampjires to come
to this State, and toe trust that the
just indignation of an outraged peo
pie may be speedily visited upon
them.
Any one, who finderstands the chat
actor of the southern people, knrows
full wel'. that the two races can live
prosporousl3y andl harmoniottsly in the
South, if no discordant dlement enters
to antagonize theaft, arid while they
remain in ailtagonismx, no permanent
poee established.
This is a plain truth, which can not
be sncodusfully eontroverted.
We are then neceessarily forced to
conclude that the only hope of salvaa
tion for our people, and the only
means of redemption of the State,
from the politioal quicksands into
which she has fallen, lies in the to n
bination of the native white and col
drdd citizens against the tlhieving
vhllaiAuus earpet-taggers, who haave
rlteady robbed us of millions df dohs
hars, and broken down the credit of
the State.
We know that a few honest colored
men read oar columas, and we would
appeal to them to consider well what
we hate saitd, and not upon our sug
gestions.
To tho hornest and upright men of
our own race, we would say, bie not
discouragedi for, though adterse ci r
eumstances now surround us, we ho
lieve that triuth aMi justtod will yet
prevail, Aad trlomph over its enemies.

to bear, but lot us Dot despair...

as we shall ever believe, of killing it.
Agnih do we win:.ess the highest
law-makiig branch of the Gen1r;l
Govermnent, so blinded by partisan
motives and cbnsiderations, us to

people a boun and prerogative that

That further legirlation in regard to
civil rights is :u1aounne4sar: y, every mats
