COLUMBIA, S. C. Thursday Morning, March 17. 1870. Duty and Labor Policy of the South. A writer ia DeBow's Review for Febru? ary, thus expresses bia views upon this question. He says: "A people who would be free, or who would have their rights respected, iu any composite form of government, mast have the elements of strength or of rep? resentation. This cannot be predicated of an incongruous populatiou. To be free and powerful, a people most be so far homogeneous, as that all may have the same right to acquire property and to hold official stations. Society most be so far homogeneous as to present no obstacles to the most intimate social in? tercourse, and especially the intermar? riage of its people. For, at last, there is so much of communism in all civilized society, that envy is, or should be in? cluded in the common supply, the com? mon welfare, and the common honor of a common country. When society has a population unequally interested in its own preservation, it cannot bo strong. When Protestant England has to watch Catholic Ireland; when republican France held millions of royalists; when the United States baa doubts of the at? tachment of the Southern people to the Oovernment; neither of these Govern? ments can be so strong as if the popula? tion of each was equal iu right and au? thority. The Governments referred to may readily renounce nil the causes whioh dissatisfy thoir own people, and may readily incorporate] the interests of all in the common welfare. With a por tion of the population, however, belong? ing to a race, alien and incongruons, as negroes or Asiatics, a people never can become homogeneous. 'The solidarity of the people,' as Kossuth terms il, 'is wanting.' How, then, can a population, half or one-ionrth of which is enslaved, rely upon its whole strength, either in peace or in war? The conduct of the Southern slaves was admirable, during the war. Left to till tho land and pro? tect the families of tho uluulera, they performed their trust well. When libe? rated by the passage of hostile armies, they were added to the hostile force. They filled the pests and the graves of our enemies. They made the best fa? tigue force. They were pioneers and spies. Clad, fed, armed and transported, they ultimately stood guard over their masters. Note the difference between a homogeneous population whose men, when captured, must be fed and guarded, and an incongruous population who added to the strength of the enemy. When the war is over, this same incon? gruous population are used as aliens in interest. Their whole political force is wielded in the interest of the conquer? ors. They not only aid to disarm, but to disfranchise their former masters. These are the social and political reasons why the slavery-or indeed the immigra? tion-of races with which we cannot amalgamate, is unsafe and injurious. It is the duty of the Southern people to utilize negro labor, and the negro vote. It must always be an incongruous population, but it may be robbed of its most serious objections, by prudence and justice. It is invaluable in producing values, and those values may be employed in raising, relieving and restoring Southern pros? perity. There is no reason why, in some future day, the negro may not vote the same ballot, and serve iu tho same army with tho Southern whites. But this will bo because his presence here is inevita? ble, and his labor cannot bo dispensed with. We cannot, however, consent that those nations who manufacture and con? sume our staple, shall make this thc gathering ground for all Pagan peoples. Wo cannot consent that this fatal scheme to reduce tho market price of our staple, und fill our land with a treacherous or neutral, and non-combatant population, shall be carried out. We raise our voice in warning against the designs of those, who, like 'Metellus Cimber, loves me not.' Do not let the South become again lite 'negro quarter' of the world-nor coolie quarter either. "Base Southern society on its own in? tegrity, and its own standard of manhood and womanhood-and statehood-build in with the while immigrant, material sim? ilar to thal which formed our society. In? struct our youth in all the enterprises of mixed industry, and it will be always safe, free, respectable and respected." A Colored .Van'* View of ??the Sew Party" Movement? The Missionary Record, edited by "daddy" Cain, thus fires up and "ex? plains his thoughts." AH for ourselves, wo are not in und of tho ruovo referred to, and cannot, therefore, say how fur the Record is correct in its allegations: "THE NEW MOVE ON THE Pox.rric.vij CHESS BOAIID.-There is a deep under? current of feeling among a certain class of politicians, against Gov. R, K. Scott and those who have, und will stand by him. It has transpired that there was u deep scheme on foot to form a conserva? tive party iu this State, and to defeat certain prominent colored men, and Governor Scott, in tho next campaign. Wo know every mau in tho Republi? can party who were in this new or? ganisation. Wo know, moreover, their stato, as made up to tho time of the ad joumment of tho L?gislature. We also know that in this combiuutiou aro law? yers, judges, magistrates, Stato oilici;.ls, merchants, and others who have been elected by tho peoplo us Republicans, and who have worked their way up into positions, and uow propose to sell out tho colored people of this State, so far as they can, in order to keep tho positions which they now occupy. Congressmen and Senators are ut tho bottom of this movement, and they aro determined Lo carry their point, if they can, at all haz? ards. They have already stated that they intend to carry tho next election with money, if they possibly can. Th?y have sold oadetsbips, they have specu? lated in bonds; they have done every mean thing to get money for this par "No ar ire bave a word of warning to them. Gentlemen, whenever yon pro? pose to defeat the leading colored menin this State by money, yon 'reckon with? out your host.1 When yon think to cheat our people by vilifying their lead? ers by false representations; when yon think that yon will hoodwink the igno? rant of our race by crying out against members of the Legislature, and charg? ing against thom that they voted agninst the civil rights bill, when yon know that they voted for it; when you charge that they sold out their constituents, when you know that they did everything to prevent you from selling them ont; you only lay the foundation for one of the most sanguinary conflicts in wbioh you were ever engaged. We sholl fight you night and day by fair and by foul moans. We will make you a hissing and scorn to every honest man in this coun? try. If you think that Gov. Scott will be defeated by your trickery, thou you will see tho whirlwind sweep you away like the chaff of the threshing floor. "Before wo would see such men as you elevated to honor and trust, we would vote for an honest, straight-forward gen? tlemanly Democrat in preference. Lot thoso demagogues beware how they hatch treason against the common peo? ple. Lot their cats-paws of colored men look to their bends, lest they lind tho avenger near." For ?he Pheonix. MB. EDITOB: In your issue of the 8th instant, while noticing editorially an article on immigration, you invite a freo expression of views on that subject from others. This bas long been to me a matter of anxious solicitude, and I would be loth to say anything in the least de? gree discouraging to any practical scheme for its promotion. But, sir, it is my conviction that the proposition contaiued in the article referred to, is altogether im? practicable, and fails to meet tho neces? sities of the case. Count the cost of carrying out that plau, on a scale suffi? ciently broad to secure great and imme? diate results, and you will seo how im? practicable it is. But my objection is, if carried out, it would not accomplish the object in view. Our country does not now need tho in trod net ion, to a large extent, of such laborers as contemplated in the "plan." You could not keep them here, if brought, because youi planters and farmers cannot afford 1c pay the wages required to do so. Im? port 10,000 European laborero to-mor? row, and beforo a twelfth mouth had passed 9,000 will have floated off to othei States where higher wages aro paid than we can possibly afford. Wo certainly had an abundance of labor in 18GC. Where has it gone? Much of it to thc West and South-west. Why could wc not retain it? Because the Western planter offered higher wages than wc could give. Aud will not the same causes operate to draw from us our im? ported foreign laborers? Assuredly. Tc keep your immigrant laborerers af ter you import them, you will have to pay them from $10 to $15 per month and rations, aud this you cannot do. I will agree tc furnish any planter with as much laboi as he wants, if he will pay the price such labor will command elsewhere. Again, tho plantation system, tho perpetuation of which seems to be contemplated in the proposition for introducing largely, foreign labor, however profitable aud practicable with negroes, will, I dare affirm, in nine cases out of every ten, prove a failure with European laborers. I am familiar with several instance where the trial was fairly ma'de and resulted in each disastrously. I do not believe the plantation system can be carried on suc? cessfully with wliite labor, either native or foreign. No, sir. If you need nought bat hordes of laborers to till your broad fields, thon I would say John Chinaman is the boy for your purpose. And who believes that his advent would not work woo to tho commonwealth? What South Carolina needs, and must have, for tho speedy securement of her I political regeneration, her social pros ; pority and happiness, and for the sure promotion of a steady material develop? ment and advaucement, is a heavy immi? gration of white men of some means, with I their families, from the No. .h, or Eu? rope, or anywhere, who will settle dowu as farmers, either in tenancy or in free? hold. All the rest, mechanics, nrtisaus, laborers, Seo., will quickly follow. To this, I think, most will agree. That proposition need not bo argued. It has been clearly demonstrated in yonr edito? rial columns for months past. Now, the vital question is, how can wo obtain auch immigrants? They will not come herc to buy our lands; because they can procuro better elsewhere, much more cheaply. How, then, eau wo iuducc them to come? lean see but one possible solution. By the donation of homesteads. If the land-holders of South Carolinn are ready and willing to donate a portion of their broad but idlo acres to actual set? tlers, and will <lo so, then may wo hope i to soo tho tide of u heat li lui immigration I flowing iu upon our shores, and our I State advancing along tho highway to : worldly prosperity and greatness. If ; they will not do this, thou must wo lin ; ger in tho protracted "winter of our dis? content," until tho slow lapse of long j and weary years shall work out a "con I summation so devoutly to ba wished." j Land-holders of South Carolina, will yo ! do this? In conclusion, Mr. Editor, permit me to suggest a plan which I proposed two years ago, throagh the PBXEHIX, by whi?h ?his great .object may bo achieved. Let the laud-holders of each County in the State assemble at an early day, and organize associations for the promotion of immigration. Lot eaoh one bind himself to donate one or more homesteads, (say, of fifty acres each.) Then let a central association be formed, composed of delegates from the County associations, whose business would be to perfect nil the details for carrying the sohemo into execution-ample moans to be famished by contributors from the County associations. Let this son?me be carried out energetically, aud however gloomy our prospects now are, I will ray, confidently, NIL DISPERANDUM. Money Wanted ! Money Wanted ! !
