-cm,i- y ii,.?, nj.. ? .wj, j. ' m S? COLUMBIA. Tuesday Morning, April 16,1867* * =-? T Ignaro of Party Strife. .It is evident that there are emissa? ries or agents at work in this and. other Southern States, whose object is to stir up strife between the two raoes at the South* Now and then, there maj be found a S ou th ern-bo rn man among these missionaries o?. mischief, but such cases are excep? tion ul, as the greater number ore not to the manor born, are not identified with the interests of either tho white or colored Southerner, and hare no higher ends tb: serve, besides tho division they aim to or?ate, than self aggpandizr.rnent or ?l?vation to office. Tho interests of both races, whether * ' political or inatej?al, here at the South are identical. United, they will pros? per; divided, both will suffer. Aa tho Atlanta LUelligencer says, in its comments, on the extract publish? ed below, from the speech qf a freed mau at a meeting in Nashville, the freedman of- the South should b? made to feel and know that there is no Northern, no Western, home for him. Ho is planted, ?os it .Were, on Southern soil, and hero he must ad? vance and flourish, or recede and perish. It were .well, then, for the freedmen within our midst to delibe? rate seriously on their condition, the relation they will bear to the South, and tho absolute 'noossity which requires that there shall be no strife between him and the Southern whito man, his former moister. The South? ern white man is the freedman's natu? ral ally. He is the freedman's best friend-the party most interested in the freedman's welfare. These remarks are induced by the following extract from the speech of a colored man, made at a political meeting recently held at Nashville. His namo is Texander Williams, who had formerly been a slave, and then a soldier in the United States army. He desired to express the opinions of his colored fellow-citizens, and the request was granted. The report says: "Ho came forward amid a shower of applause, and thanked the gentle? men present for the privilege of ad? dressing his fellow-citizens. He said slavery was abolished, and no law could restore it; it waa dead forever, and he, therefore, could see no reason why tho colored man could not advocate the cause of his former master, but now best friend, and hold and express his political sentiments without being called rebels and cop? perheads. The colored people ought to aid their old friends iu the South in restoring harmony and good go? vernment. Their former owners were willing to lend a helping hand, and tho colored citizens should aid them they have tho wealth and capacity, and wo the strength and industry. He could seo no reason why we should not work for our friends, and vote for them, too. He was proud to see what had been dono to-day, and to hear .the speeches made. This was the place to give the colored man his rights-here in tho South, where there aro millions of colored mon not in the North, beyond the Ohio. (Cheers.) * Leb us join hand and hand for the common good. We must agree, or there will be a falling * out. The colored people only asked to have their rights, and the speaker felt confident they would be ' moro easily obtained from their old friends than their now and pretended ones. He endorsed everything that had been said in the Convention, and was ready to lay down his lifo for such principles. (Applause.). The best thing to bo done is to unito. If we do that, there will be no danger of failure." The utterauces in the above extract are true in fact aud correct in princi? ple, aud we commend them to tho intelligent freedmen in our commu? nity. To. show that mischievous efforts are being rundo at the South, we notice that a meeting of the colored people of Augusta was held . in that city on Saturday lost, at which, although some of the promi? nent mon of Georgia were invited by intelligent freedmen to bo present and address tho meeting, everything had been cut and dried, and it soon appeared that tho meeting was alto? gether a political one, for tho purpose of forming a Republican party. The Chronicle and Sentinel, in noticing the proceedings, saj's: "We rogrot very much the, spirit ol ill-feeling and antagonism exhibited by some of *he colored speakors. We desire, honestly lind sincerely, the welfare and social nnd political im? provement of the colored race. We know that the good and intelligent whito peoplo of Georgia aro theil best in nds, and that they aro willing to aid them in all laudable undertak? ings. Goyornor Johnson and Judge Starnes, and other leading and inllu . ? . .:. ... . 1 entiftl citizens, g&vo their presence to 1 the meeting for ?hat purposo, having been invited .ibero to .dvifp tho colored pooi)lo as to their duty umler existing relations. T/heyJ weite sufi prised,'-therefore, to fina tliat the meeting was entirely political, the programme having been so arranged ns to forestall their good intentions. The resolutions were printed,, and were read immediately after prayer. The meeting was run and controlled by a few emissaries, who have no sympathy or interest in common with the colored people of the South. These, fellows come here to sc w dis? cord, and to nee the votes of tho blacks tor' selfish political advance? ment." The Chronicle believes that the pro? ceedings of the meeting did not have tho approval of the great majority of the intelligent and respectable por? tion of ibo colored people of that city. It further says, that Captain Dagget, of tho.United States Army, who, with some brother officers, was present ou the platform, unqualifiedly aud unre? servedly disapproved of tho temper, tone and spirit of the meeting, nnd of tho resolutions. We think we cnn dp no better ser? vice than to raise a*"warning voice, especially for tho benefit of tho co? lored voters among us, against BU eh efforts as this. Every good citizen* whothdr from the North or tho South'! must deplore the initiation of sueb, a mischievous policy, where all, white aud colored, are desirous of engaging honestly in the work of reconstruc? tion. Address from Governor Jcnkinn. 'Governor Jenkins, now in" Wash? ington, bas written an address to tho people of Georgia. After reviewing the situation, be concludes his address as follows: The public discussions seem to re? cognize only two alternatives: Ficst, prompt acquiescence in the already rejected proposal for amendment of tho Federal Constitution, and ' in all the requirements of the two Acts of Congress before-mentioned, together with the incorporation of them\ all, by our own acts, into our own consti? tution and laws; secondly, a firm but temperate refusal of such acquiescence and adoption; and a patient, manly endurance of * military government, until, in the efflux of . time, and on the subsidence of the passions gene? rated by civil war, better counsels shall prevail at the Federal 'capital we, meantime, strictly observing law and order, and vigorously addressing ourselves to industrial pursuits. As between these alternatives, I have no hesitation in advising the adoption of the latter, but forbear, at this time, to assign any reasons for this advice, because, fellow-citizens, I am far from believing that these are the only alternatives. I have strong faith that there remains to us au available remedy. In tho Federal Government, there are three depart? ments. Two of them have passed upon these measures, and are in di? rect antagonism regarding their con? stitutionality. But in that event, the Constitutiou gives to the legislative department power to over-ride the executive, and they have so done. There still remains, however, the judicial dei>artment-the great con? servator of tho supremacy of the Constitution-whoso decrees, uuliko the Executive veto, cannot bo over? ridden by tho Congress. That de? partment has not yet spoken. Should it bo found in accord with the Execu? tive, this usurpation will be arrested. Then, although, for a time, you may bo denied repr?sentation in Congress, your State Government will remain intnot, and full restoration will not long bo delayed. ' Watching at home the progress oi these measures, I gave, as was my duty to you, earnest cousideration to the question whother or not wo had any remedy against them. Trenched the conclusion that a caso could bc made, giving jurisdiction to the Su? preme Court, wherein the validity ol these Acts could be properly tested, and whereby, if- found invalid, thev could be arrested. Unwilling to trusl my own judgment or that of nnj Southern jurist, so liable to be swayed by thc bias of Southern interest and Southern feeling, immediately npox the passage of the first Act, I came here for tho sole purpose of submit ting my views to, and consulting with, jurists able and pure, who would view tho wholo subject from a difieren! stand-point. I.have done so, and by such men, my proposed coursoha! beeu approved. Before you road this thc cause of Georgia will be in tb.aj august tribunal, hitherto true to th< Constitution-tho bulwark' of om liberties. Tho great question of re lief from that quarter will be speedily determined. Need I ask you to bi calm and quiet* committing your selves hastily to no particular course of action? Should wo fail, (as fail w< may,) there will remain nothing thai I can do for you. Your destiny wil be in your own hands, aud you mus? choose between the alternatives firs! presented. In making that choice, you have my eoflusel, perhaps erro neous, but certainly honest. -,-?-??-?

According to previous appoint? ment, a m asa meeting of tho freed? men of Lexington District WM held at the Ooart House, on the nth in? stant. The morning opened cloudy, with every .indication of rain, but, notwithstanding, crowds of the loyal enfranchised, dusky, but sincere, of both sexes and of every ege, to the number of . about 500, nssembled in hearth-felt devotion, to honor their great birth-right of freedom and suf? frage. About 10 o'clock a. m.,-the procession was formed,' their ardor in no wiso dampened by tho rain, which fell in torrents; and, headed by a band of music, with two national' flags floating over-head, they march? ed through the principal streets, and thence to the old JF.air Qrounds, where a platform hr.d been erected to accommodate the speakers. Rev. Peter Norphlet was called to the chair, amid the shouts of the de? lighted multitude. The meeting was opened with prayer, and singing the national jubilee. A large crowd *of white oitizens were in attendance also, and among them Col. Moore and Lieut. --, of the U. S. A. The object of tho meeting was stated by the chairman, and the following preamble and resqlutiona, prepared by a committeo at a previous meet? ing, were read and adopted, amid the deafening cheers of tho sjtnrdy multi? tude: FREEDMEN'S PliATFORM. Preamble and resolutions reported by the committee appointed at a pre? vious meeting, to prepare a platform for the consideration of the mass meeting of the colored citizens of Lexington District, S. C., to bo held on the 9th of April instant, in honor of tho right of 8uffroge. Whereas, tho Government of tho United States has again and again proved itself faithful to the great principles of freedom embodied as "self-evident truths" in the Declara? tion of American Independence, "that all men are created free ana equal; that they aro endowed by their Creator with certain inalienablejights, among which are Ufe, liberty and the pursuit of happiness;" and whereas, the recent enactment of tho civil rights bill, and the still later enact? ment of the 2d of March, known as Sherman's bill, whereby suffrage ia guaranteed to all loyal men, irre? spective of race, color, or previous condition, fully invest us with the rights and privileges of freemen; therefore, be it Resolved, 'That we, the colored citi? zens of Lexington District, S. C., do most reverently and gratefully ac? cept, as the wards of the great Re? public, the inestimable boon of civil liberty, and more particularly the right of suffrage, whereby it may be preserved and defended. Resolved, That we are under renew? ed obligations to our friends of the great Union Republican party, who have stood os a wall of adamant be? tween us and ser feto rn, and "wi> here? by pledge our Uves, our fortunes and onr sacred honor" iu defence of the Union and tho principles of freedom, which its Congress has so nobly maintained. Resolved, That our opposition to the twin-sisters-slnvery and seces? sion-is fixed and unalterable, and wt will instill it into the hearts of om children and children's children tc the latest goneration. Resolved, That . we hail as oui friends only those who will co-operate with us in maintaining the integrity of tho Union and its permanent resto rntiou nuder the bill known ns Sher? man's, embracing, as it does, the cou stitntional amendment and the righi of suffrago to all loyal men, irrespect ive of race, color or previous coudi tion. Resolved, That wo do not recognize any scheme of reconstruction ns lega or valid which does not receive th? sanction of the loyal representative! of a loyal people in Congress nssem bled. Resolved, That we cordially invib our white friends to sustain ns ii sustaining the glorious old flag whose starry folds wave ns an ensigi of liberty, peace and security to al who support and defend it. . Resolved, That in all our acknow ledged ignorance and imputed degra dation, we, nevertheless, t*aoe th finger of God in bur deliveranco fron slavery, and bow in humble Hub ni is sion and gratitudo to Him who si signally vindicated His chnracte from the aspersions of His and on enemies. Resolved, That an executive com mitteo of six bo appointed, "by th chair-ho being one-to serve on year, if not sooner changetl or die charged by another general meeting which this committee is herebv nu thorized to call whenovor it is ?teem etl expedient, whoso duty it shall b to secure such nominations to fill th various offices which may bo open or in which vacancies may occur, a will give us a fair and full represent atiou of tho loyal sentimeuts we hob and esteem. (Signed,) JAMES RAWL, Chairman. The following constitute the com mittee appointed: Rev. Peter Nor phlet, James Rawl, Janies Lowman Thus. Waring, Charles Hampton an< T. A. Houston.

The meeting adjourned at a late hour, with a nigh degree of satisfaction to all. _ SPECTATOR. Southern Oonflicatort. The Raleigh Standard (Holden'? organ) is rather in favor of confisca? tion. It say?: "Mr. Stevens has Solemnly declared that he will' devote II?B remaining strength to the work of confiscation, j His influence iu Congress is well I known. The great body of the North? ern people and many of our own poo pie feel that it would , bo an act of gross and crying injustice to free the slaves aud give them no lands; and that, to say the least, it would be bet I ter that th? large bodies of laud held by Southern rebels bo cut up iuto small, forms for the poor whites and the colored people. Revolutions never go backwards, ahd this revolution has not yet ruu its course." These are the opinions af one who professes tobe a Southerner. Theopi nions bf Northern men of the cor reet ness of his ideas are shown by the following extrnct from au* editorial ol the New York Times, to which wc call the especial attention of our readers: i . "The effect of writing of this cha? racter cannot but be mischievous. . I( introduces a new element of uucer tu in ty into thc South, intensifies itt industrial paralysis, and * heighten: the distrust which already deten capitalises from embarking in its en? terprises. It shows that, iu the opi? nion of politicians who claim'a peen liar right to manage affairs, aud r peculiar influence over Congressional action, a sweeping measure of confis' t ion is in itself righteous, and shoulc be pressed upon tue country. ' "The Standard mis-states the case when it declares that 'tho great bodj of the Northern people' favor tb< measure, and that the influence o Mr. Stevens in Congress is a guaran tee of its ultimate adoption. Tin Eersonal influeuce of Mr. Stevens wi ave no inclination to depreciate; bu the last two sessions have abundantly proved thnt that influence, large as i is, does not enable bim to carr points at variance with the genera sentiment of the party. We shouh be sorry to loso him from the politi aol arena, and are content that h shall 'devote bis remaining strengt) to the work of confiscation,' becaus the'failure of his efforts in that regan does not admit of doubt. The recep tion accorded to his confiscation bil is evidence of this. It met no re spouse in the House, and was post ponod indefinitely by its author, bc cause an attempt to pass it wonli hove quickly euded in its rejection With all their radicalism, tho mn jority of members are not prepare to sustain a scheme that is repugnan to the moral sense and the humanit of tho North. .. They know that th 'great body of the Northern peoph uot only have no dosiro to seize th lands of the planters and dividethei among the freedmen, but wool frown down such a project as barbai ous, unjust aud eminently impolitic . ?'Tho current opinion at the Nort flows in a direction widely differer from that on which the extremists ( North Carolina base their calculi" tions. Their reasoning.is as unsoun as their axiom. Revolutions do sonn times 'go backwards,' or, rathei their violence sometimes produces reaction which undoes their work an permanently neutralizes their infh once. The more sensible of tho rad cal journals, recognizing" the imm nonce of reaction as a consequence < too violent proceedings, are carne in their condemnation of the voi measures on which the Holden factic build their hopes. The Chicago Tr buns, than which tho radicals ha*; few abler or more influential orgau condemns confiscation and r?pudi?t it in behalf of the party.- When M Stevens introduced his bill, the Tr bune denounced it as a libel upou tl Northern people, who Avant uo me sure of vengeance, aud will tolera nono of robbery.

NORTHERN QUACK ADVERTISERS. A Georgio paper has the following remarks oh a certain doss of North? ern advert." ers in Southern papers: Before and since the war, the pro? prietors of Northern nostrums and swindlers advertised extensively in the Southern newspapers. Nine out of ten were careful to mako liberal offersof money, jewelry, etc., to bo paid after first insertion of advertise? ment. Publishers, thinking they have a good thing, insert the advertise? ment; a few of their subscribers send on their money and are swindled, and tho publishers send on their bills, and that is nil tho pay they ever receive. This game has been practiced so long that it does seem to us that newspaper men would have their eyes opon by this time. Such is not tho case, how? ever, for occasionally we notice in our exchanger that some firm iu New York had forwarded an advertisement, which they inserted on tho promise of payment, but that tho advertise? ments have been running one or two months, (as long ns the rascals wished them to run,) tho bills have been for? warded and no returns have been received, and their readers are cau? tioned against said firm. Too late-? for in nearly every instauco tho vii-, lains have already cheated their read? ers of their money. Some timo sinco, au advertising agency, so-calledj in Troy, New York, sent us, by mail, six or oight different advertisements, with conspicuous headings of "Astrology," "Beauty," "Whiskers," "Know thy Destiny," "Wonderful, but True," etc., for in? serting which, ono yeal*, they pro? posed to give us $300. Believing the whole concern bogus, we wrote, for tho purpose of testing them, that wo would not receive such advertisements for a longer time than three months, nud for that period our charge was $200 in advance. They replied, proposing to give that amount, to be <paid at the expiration of tho time. These sharpers would have promised Si,000 just as readily ns they would $200. Has not such a system of swindling been practiced long enough? Will the publishers of newspapers in tho South never grow weary of imposi? tion? Newspaper men owe it to them? selves, as well ns their readers, to put n stop to these rascally tricks. If tho advertiser will not pay tho publisher, he will undoubtedly r.windlo all who patronize him. As long as tho South? ern press will advertise for promisee, they need never expect to receive monet/. BRIEFS.-To ?HB. LEGAL PROFES?

AID FROM THE NORTH. -Some weeks ago, our -worthy postmaster-J. C. Janney, Esq.-received a letter from Dr. D. M. Holt, of Newport, New York, formerly a Surgeon in the Uui ted States Army, making inquiries if the accounts published in the news? papers of tho destitution iu this State were true. To this letter, Mr. Jan? ney replied in a kind and courteous manne- giving the actual condition of the poor in this vicinity. From dbe subjoined letter, received in an? swer, which has been handed us for publication, it will be seen that Dr. Holt, in a spirit of Christian benevo? lence, has promptly taken steps to ob? tain aid and relief for our people in tho section where ho resides. We observe, with pleasure, such .evi? dences of friendly feeling from those with whom we were so recently en? gaged in civil war: NEWPORT, HERKIMER Co., N. Y.. April 7, 18G7. . Jas. C. Janney, Esq. DEAR SIR: Your very satisfactory and Christian letter of tho 27th ult. is received, aud I hasten to inform you th at* efforts will immediately be put forth in our community to render such assistance to your destitute peo plo as the exigencies of tho .case de? mand. . . Since tho reception of your favor, I have not been able to be about muck, (having contracted pulmonary disease while in the service of the United States as Surgeon of the Twelfth Regiment N. Y. V.,) but have conversed with a considerable number of our most prominent men, and read your letter to quito a crowd, . at different times, and, to-day, (Sun? day,) had copies sent to the Metho? dist, Baptist and Unitarian churches, with a request to read, and solicit aid. I also, last evening, sent the original to the Masonic Hall, and asked that, a donation be made out of accumu? lated funds in the Treasurer's hand. In addition to this, I have set the ball in motion in the "Good Templar's" Lodge. I hope something may be done in these directions, aud'no doubt there will; but do not expect very great things of the little community in which I reside. With a population less than 1,000, and almost daily calls upon us for funds to aid in some benevolent cause, our people are almost constantly giving; still the depth of their pockets or hearts have not yet been reached, and I think a reasonable hope may be entertained that something will be done. I shall try to have tho ladies get up a fair for your benefit. This will be popular, aud often large sams are raised by them. My heart and soul are with you, and so are many others; but unfortu? nately, as is always the case, tho most able are the least disposed to lend a helping bond in times of need. Do not expect too much. Perhaps when I come to confer, as I shall imme? diately, with the agent in Utica, it will bo,deemed best to act through that channel, instead of indepen? dently. Under auy circumstances, I will write yon again and inform you of the result of the inquiry. I shall send in the morning's mail a copy of your letter to the Utica Morning He? rald, (a copy of which I send yon,) and also one to the Journal, published at Little Falls, and one to tho paper published in Herkimer, with the re? quest to publish, and make such edi? torial remarks os aro deemed proper. You will discover, by reference to tho columns of tho Herald, that our people are moving iu tho right direc tiou, .and will, I hope, accomplish much good. lu conclusion, permit me to thank you for the Christian kindness which is reflected throughout your noble auswer to my poor, and, I fear, un? feeling, letter, and to express tho hope that speedily we shall, as individuals and as a nation, bo brought moro inti? mately and lovingly together. Recip? rocating tho kindness which you have evinced for au entiro stranger, and praying for your temporal and spiritual welfare, I reniaia, kiud sir, your true friend, DANIEL M. HOLT. JAS. C.
