The colored people of the South (although not of the North) are known to be uncommonly religious. Ever since they wore enslaved by tho British and tho Yankees, and sold to the people of the South, they have "gladly received tho Word," aud have formed a large majority iu our churches. The Republican* have taken advantage of your piety, my colored brethren, to deceive you. They try to make you believe that they freed you from slavery. How can they say thia, when they know that, at the beginning of the lato war, their Congress passed a resolu? tion declaring that Hie destruction of slavery was not the object of the war, but it was the preservation of the Union. That Union filled their pock? ets with money; and to preservo it, they did not care a fig for you. If the South had been willing to make peace with them, at that time, they never' would have freed you. Bot when they found that they could not whip us without help from you, they offered you freedom; and those that went to them, they put in the front rank, to receive the bullets that .would otherwise havo killed them. . They made you a bomb-proof to hide themselves in. I must do you tho justice to say, that most of you spurned their vilu and unchristian offer, and continued, according tc tho Scriptures, "obedient to youl own masters." You do not owe yom freedom to their good will, but, undei tho Providence of God, to theil cowardice and meanness. If there is any human being you ought tc thank, it is Andrew Johnson, for ht required the oonquered States to free you, before he would consent to theil return to tho Union. "What have the Republicans dom for your religious improvement? On< of your ministers went North to asl help to build a church ; ho got ver little but promises, except from hi" Democratic brethren in Baltimore Who built your churches in thia oity Wheu yon asked the whites td hel| yon-although they were so poo aud needy that they could bardi; help themselves-they did not refuse Republican emissaries have com among you, speaking "great swellini words of vanity," and promisini great things. They professed greii love for you: but did th*?y ndiftlwas ask money for their love? Was nc tL. everlasting hat carried round, an has not yonr religion been a cor timmi tax upon you. Some of tbes preachers may be honest christian but most of them aro sneaking hyp< orites. One of them collected moue in Orangeburg to build a churc there, and ran off with it. Of ai other, tho papers say that ho wi caught in vile practice, in tho buri district, in Chnrleston. Such fellow aro imposters. They are after tiltl lucre, and silly women Jed captive I their lust*. All they want in, first, get your money or your votes, and afterwards to lie with your wives and daughters; nnd when they get you into trouble with your white brethren, they will run back to where they came from. The white preachers from the North are generally persous that had not character enough to stay there. They have come to impose on your good nature nuil make money out of you. Thus far, they have succeeded very well. Penuyless upstarts, who had not cash to buy a second hand coat, at homo, aro now lending money at twenty per cent., and getting rich. If you possess christian wisdom, you will not receivo these people into your houses, nor bid them God speed; and you will turn away from those of your own color who are leagued with them, especially from tho eleven dollar's a day legislators, who made a Constitution which is full of iuiquity. That Constitution allows every idler and vagabond, white or black-men who wont pay even the poll-tax-to vote, and thus to make laws for honest and indus? trious citizens. If you are diligent in business, as the 13iblo commands, and God prospers you so that you can buy a piece of laud, you aro, at once, to be taxed, to support them in the poor-house, and to school their childi en. This is not christian. "Who are the whites that havo gone over to the Republican party? Are they not ungodly, blasphemers, per? jurers? Did they not profess to be good Confederates, hold office, and skulk in bomb-proofs during tho war? Where is tho respectable citi? zen or christian, that has joined that party? Are any of the white minis? ters of tho city found there? No. They have a deep interest in your spiritual welfare. They have visited your churches and preached to you. But did they send round tho hal ? Did they not, the rather, put their hands into their own pockets, to en? courage and help you? Your old friends are your best friends. "No man having drunk old wine straightway desireth new; for he snit h the old is better." li you pin your faith to whito adventurers, or colored men, who turn the pulpit into a place for political harangues, or candidates, who violate the Sab? bath, by making electioneering speeches on that holy day, you will sin against God; and you will find, in the end, that their "vino is the vine of Sodom, and tho poison of asps is under their tongues." My friends and brethren, be cir? cumspect and prayerful. Resist the devil of Republicanism. If you value your christian character or worldly interest, reject and spit upon tho wicked Constitution made in Charles? ton, and vote with the Democrats. SIMON PETER. A BAD THING OF WHICH THE K. K. K. ia INNOCENT.-The Gadsden Times say? that, on Monday last, we were in Jacksonville, and witnessed a sight sickening and revolting in the extreme. After the arrest of Judge Popo, who was so feeble from ill health that ho could scarcely walk, and as the guards were conducting him to jail, au aged, grey haired mau so afiiicted with paralyisis, that ho had not walked for years without the aid of crutches, too outraged to contain himself, cried out, "Judge, aro they taking you to jail? Well, d-n me if I'd go with them?" For this stosstrons ntte?auee, ? soldier made a tilt at hita with fixed bayonet. Tho choleric old mau bestowed a shower of oaths on the soldier, who turned away and left him. His frionds now coming up, got the old gentleman into his buggy, and start? ed out of town with him. Lieut. Johnson, commanding tho post, came up about this time, ?ind orderted the buggy stopped, and arrested him. As he wus being conducted to jail, he again cursed tho Lieutenant and guard, and for this was beaten with his own crutch until it was broken over him. We wish somebody would explain | why J. C liruin, whoso letter we pub? lished yesterday, is kept in jail with? out a trial. He was imprisoned dur? ing tho war, on charges of crimes connected with the rebellion. The war ended three years ago-and the courts are sitting every day for the trial of offences. "let, without being tried or arraigned, this man is still kept in prison. We used to regard the habit of Austria to keep Stale prisoners in the dungeons of Spielberg for years without a trial, aa among the blackest and most shock? ing excesses of tyranny. Why are wo imitating such examples? [New York Time*. Two STUDENTS DROWNED.-Thero \ passed over the Orango and Alex? andria Railroad yesterday, two coffins, containing tho bodies of Robert Luckett and -Byerly, of Fred? erick, Md. These young men were drowned in tho North River a few days ago, their boat being overturn? ed. They were students of Washing? ton College; both from the sumo town; both sous of widows; and, st range to say, tho minister who ?reached their funeral sermon, Rev. >r. (General) Pendleton, baptised both in infancy. SPECIAL NOTICES.
