The daily phoenix. (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, May 01, 1868, Image 2
Friday Morning. Maj 1, 1888.
Enlargement. ' . ''?[ ' ^
j Wo appear before1 oar reade?, jibia j
morning, in aa enlarged iota.' Tu?
Phoenix, in spite of the moderate
food it subsiste upon, spreads its
wings and rises for a bolder sweep.
With eyes open tb the true interests
of those in whoso behalf it plumes
ita flight, tho bird catches the new
life which the rising Democracy of the
State has infused into her true sons,
and seeks to point the way to the
purer atmosphere above, wherein
lives the true spirit of Carolina. To
drop metaphor; we desire to say, iu
plain terms, that in. ordor to make
our paper moro nttractivo to ita
patrons, we have gono to tho expense
of increasing the number and extend?
ing tho length of our columns. Wo
hope to giro to ooi 'readers a news?
paper select in its extracts, elevated
in ita moral tone, and instinct with
the spirit of earnest devotion to the
enduring interests of this State and
the whole country. Comp?tent edi?
torial assistance has been secured.
Believing that much of the con?
servatism of the land has fount?!
refuge in the ranks of the ?atfpdal
Democratio party, and that ?ti this
organization are centered 'all the
hopes of the State and-'tne country;
that therein are embodied the prin?
ciples of our government, as enun?
ciated and laid down by tho fathers
of tho Bepnblic, we shall give our
hearty support to the men and mea?
sures of the Democratio party of the
State and of tho United States. In
taking this position, however, we
reservo to ourself the right of con?
demning what we caunofc approve; in
all matters, adhering to the motto of
this journal and letting "our just
censure attend die true event."
Tho Kcttult or Action on the Part of
thc Southern Conservative*.
Ono thing we have to contend
against nt the South at this time, is
tho apathy of the whites. In the
cstimuto of tho harm done the con?
servative cause of the South, next to
the recreancy of those men who
unite with tho radical party, is tho
indiffovuuee and tho apathetic feeling
of ?unie Of oui- peuple T'iare are men.
who aro saying thero is nb uso trying
that-we can do nothing. Thesemen,
without intending it, aro enemies to
thoir own cause. Their doubts aro
traitors. On tho other hand, observe
tho effect of tho effort? which the
conservatives have recently made
here and elsewher?. At home, it has
improved tho public tono and impart?
ed buoyaueo to tho publio sentiment,
and mudo men realize thoir strength
and influence. "All is. not lost," oc?
curs to many who, before, were in
thc depths of despair. And abroad,
nt tho North, tho effect has boon
marked and promising iu tho highest
degree. Tho conservativo journals
North express admiration at the
efforts made by tho whites to relieve
their land from radical rule. Those
who help themselves will bo helped.
If thc Democracy of tho South ox
pect help from their friends North,
the parly must take tho politicul held
and whatever be tho odds against
them, they must raise thoir Demo?
cratic conservative banner, and mako
tho best light they can. "Who does
thc best his circumstances allow,
docs well-acts nobly."
THE DE?IO?KAT?CI CANDIDATE iron
THE PRESIDENCY.-Tho New York
' Herald is speculating upon tho pro?
per man for the Presidency. That
matter, wo hope, will bo wisely set?
tled by tho Democratic Convention
o[ tho 1th July next. Wo may say,
hovover, that, in our opinion, no
numb yet suggested would be more
acceptable to the South than that of
Gen. Huhco?k. His noble and gene?
rous conduct, whilst in command of
the Fifth Military District, has, as
thc Now York Herald says, endeared
him to tho Southern people In tear,
be was a ?oeman worthy of Southern
sttol; in peace, wo would expect to
lind 11 him all that is magnanimous.

"A late despatch from Gen. Can bj,
commander of the Second Southern
Military District, embracing tbc
States of North and South Carolina,
saya that on the ratification of thc
new Constitution ?a? tcmal rite of
South Carolina, so far as reported, is
86i843-majority, for, > the Constitu?
tion, 88,101. Three Districts not
heard from, ; six incompleto. ? The
majority on the foti vote, will, there?
fore, in all nrohab?ity, largely exceed
40,000. This is not earprising, when
we take into account these facts:
That there are 400,000 blacks in
South Carolinaagainst 300.000 whites,
and that universal negro suffrage
operated in this election in favor of
the blanks, whilo the disfranchise.:'
men! of the leading, whites, on ac?
count of their connection with tb? |
rebellion, materially reduced wJmt
otherwise would be the white yot?.
Tho registered voters'of .the Sh?*e are
46,646 whites and 80,714 blacks; so
that, from the results of tb? election
as reported, theed was not a full turn?
out on either side, and the election
went by default. In Xorth Carolina
and "Geor?ia. whar* the "recistered
whites have the majority, wo look for
different result*, especially aa tho
blacks aro evidently beginning to
bolt from tba radical camps. As for
poor, unfortunate South Carolina, it
is to ho feared that her troubles
under r?egro supremacy nre just be
ginp/bg. althongh, if the conserva?
ti^', -polioy towards the blacks pro?
posed by Gen. Wade Hampton were
generally adopted, we have no doubt
that tho blacks and their late masters
would soon be working harmoniously
together."
We aro duly obliged to tho Herald j
for its expression of sympathy for
"poor, unfortunate South Carolina;*'
but tho whites feel that in time they
will show themselves well able to take
caro of their interests. Beneath tho
wave of radicalism, tho roots of tho
palmetto live, and the typical tree of
the State will yet grow and put out
leaves.

I l?dier to a Colored Matto-BEeniUcr
KU<t to til? ??W Legislature.
Awon, 1868:
To ir<? 'i-.: Your recent election
to.a responsible office under tie re?
construction measures of tho mdfcal J
party,Jleads a friendly' neighbor to
ask some very plain questions. I do?
oli ne all further discussion with you,
or any man, for pol?tica is no mora,
my tfad? *h?u yours.
But respecting, ns I do,- your char?
acter as (in iodustriotts, honest man,
(though I must think greatly wrong
in this,) I wish to know how you
c0uld cohscienciohsry accept, iii times
j-of gr?at public danger, au office so
|,fn? 'of . wepoasibjlity, affecting the
liroperty -and lives of thousands,
when you know nothing about it,
and are unfit by education or other?
wise for it? How can you draw pay
from me and others by'taxation, for
professing to do work in the public
service, which you caunot do wifely,
to save your life? I suppose others
in th At TiMr?fclnftiro ?re ever; ??Ss uulo
than you--do other men's wrong?
doings excuse yours aud mine? Sup?
pose you were nominated and urged
by your friends, what does your con?
sent mean, but that yougagree to do
tho work aud take tho profit? Jf yon
agree tims, and yot are confessedly j i
unfit-if you really know nothing of j |
politics, or your duties, is (Inti honest?
Congress did not say yon must run
for office, if ' uneducated. Loyal
leagues could not compel you. You
acted freely, and are to blame for it,
if wrong is done.
Let me seriously ask yon,, is it
modest and proper in ignorant men
to become hiw-makers and rulers
over wiser, men? Should children
try to rule and tax grown nj) nien?
'How do you expect this to affect
the educated white men? Is it natu?
ral for them to be satisfied with being
ruled aud taxed by tho uneducated,
who have uo property and pay no
taxes themselves? Take it home to
yourself. If you were a master me?
chanic, building a bouse, aud a party
of men were to set au inexperienced
apprentice over you to spoil the job
and ruiu your tools, how would you
feel about it? And when they went
away, what would you be apt to do
with the saucy apprentice?
My good friend, what will the co?
lored people gain by making enemies
of the whites, which you must do by
?utting uneducated men into power?
.'bile the' colored peoplo may out?
number them in certain places, yet
over the South tho whites are two to
one. White men from Europe will
be coming in constantly, hui no more
black men come hither from Africa,
Besides, the respectable white men
of the Zsorth are our kinsmen. We
have one race and one colo-. It is
true that they are very angry with us
now, and are willing to see colored
people rule over ns. But auger will
not last forever. They are naturally
our friends, and when all white men
agree, who will protect you, if your
immodesty in thrust; ng ignorint men
iii I o office, shall have mudo enemies
of the Southern people?
Do you believe that the radicals
will always bo iu power? They are
growing more unpopulur erery day
iu the North. They ure ruuuing the
Government in debt, increasing
taxes and robbing the Unit?d States
Treasury, (so say many Northern
papers.) They are losing Votes at
home, and iu order to hold their
power, make votes of colored people
here, and put them up to rifling over
us. They did not intend Riving you
freedom, if you will beiievo their
Congress, until they saw they could
not oonquer tho Confederacy uuril
they raised negro soldier) to fight
with their hired Dutch and Irish.
And now they aro using your votes
to help themselves into power, for
yon and I have repeatedly heard
them declaro publicly, that they
would tako awoy the power, if you
do not vote their ticket. Are you
willing to make bitter enemies of tho
people with whom yon liv<?,?to please
tlieso selfish strangers? You ought
to know that educated white men will
never consent to be ruled by people,
inferior iu numbers ami in mind.
The white man won this land from
the fierce Iudiau, before ever a black
man was brought hither, nnd he will
hold it to tho end. History tells of
no colored raco ruling over white
men, and though tho radicals may
use you to insult and wound our feel?
ings for a time, it will not last. And
if black men barden thc hearts of
Southern white mer;, they must ex?
pect that human nature will have its
revenge. ' No, my good friend, read
history and you will seo that the
whito race mles tho world. In Eu
ropo, Asia, Africa and America,
wherover he plants his foot ho will
conquer. So said tho Prophetin old
timo about his children, (Genesis
chap. 9, 20-29.) "Japheth-(the father
of white men) shall dweVin tho tents
of Shem, (that is COnqAl him,) and
Harr, (the black nice cusa ci rom mm)
shall bo his servant." Bm. may rule
for a while, by the helm I Northen
whito ,men; but wliefl rteir ango

are a,.ruined people. JBet- c-Ach
