But I enan?t consent to *? I fie lovely sons and daughter* of this land, in who** t ender vein* flow the blood of "70, degraded beneath th* domin ion af negro'i, without raising my vulse in solemn protest. A* all know, who know me a4, all, I have been a bard student; I liava endeavored, both from observation and hietory, to )?arn all Uiat I could of tbe nature and disposition of Itle human rno*. Tlii* I have don* on two accounts; first, for the satisfaction of the knowledge ifrelf; secondly, thai I might be tho better qualified to benefit my fellow being* ; for he that would profit man. must know man. Man 4a a being of *o?iety; politic* i* hut one grand-interest of *oolety; ao, whoever improve* ;he politics of man, advance* hie society. And a law, that does not advance the morals of the highest number of men in any community, by stimulating them to industry, honesty, and economy, cannot ionpro** their society. In a political point of .vi*w, then, it is tha duly of every man in ' tha Stat*, to sternly oppose any law or , measure .that, in its preetioal workings ( among men, will not conduce to these ends ; Of social order. * , In regard to the action eoon to he taken, by the people of South Carolina, on the i j Congressional Reconstruction Bill, there is I but one question for eeeii of you to ask | himself; that is, " will tlieso measures im- i IKa fiAAiafv gn<1 nrnmiitfl tlin nf>noi- 1 and happiness of my State I" You are not ta. he influenced in your action, in the least,wiih i the thought that "these nre the beat terms we emu get from Congress." llut are they the beet terms to promote (lie peace and happiness of both white* and blacks in the jepi bute of South Carolina, la the 'question.? Neither should we accept them, simply liecause Congress has imposed them, for Con. grew does not have to live in the State of .? Rff.ulb Carolina, but we do. And it is the happiness of ourselves, our children, and the negroes who live'tin our.midtt, thnt wo are to look after, not thnt of Congress.? -Were It the happiness of Congress, alone, that we are to aeo after, we could readily ? accept them. Will their acceptance pro duce peace and prosperity? or will It bring en a war of races, and lay our country in ruins? These are practical ques'ions. which appeal to history and experience alone for proof. The evidence of all past history, is, that whites and negroes cannot . JiTe together in peace and prosperity, where both have equal privileges. The history of the whole world establishes this fact beyond < doubt. It remains, then, for those Ameri cane who will learn in no school but the ; ; dear one of experience, to perfect in this 1 j. * way, the same sad lesson, to their sorrow and the loss of their liberties. Congie** ? has not said these terms aAafi be the Is ot your State; if it had, we should not have Mid a word. It has given us the right to choose for ourselves. We should, therefore, m long as we havo this right, make a wise ehoico, and this no man will <lo who chooses for bis country to be governed by mongrels and negroes. I had rather risk the negroes than mongrel whites who are leading the poor silly things astray. Remember, that ' we are not resisting law, but ebooaing law. Congress cannot Impose woise teima by your refusing to accept these, from the fnct it has not thraatened to do so. There is j no right to give a man the privilege of hoice, and then punish him for exercising l?, when there ia no penally annexed. The fact ia, it will be as much impossible to pre vent n war of races, under negro rule, as it will to roll back the bosom of the mighty Mississippi, or eheek the onward prognss of the heavenly bodies, in their revolutions around the sun. Let no one think (halt baeausa I speak thus, i am an enemy to the negro. No, it ia because I am his friend, and know better what is for his good than he does himself. Neither let it be thought that I Went lura back In slavery again. 1 would not have him back if I could. I rejoice to know thut we are freed from lhe saaponaiblHiy of al.-vvery, and that others hate assumed ail the honor and account bility, before God, of onr freedom from that responsibility. I ean let the negro go freely, and rejoice at his freedom ; and, also want him to have equal protection of person and property before the law, with the full en jnyment of the right to pursue his own hup. piftcss, io any way, consistent with the infe rior nature of hie race. But I am not wil Vagi to invest him with the law-making power tf the State. 1 am opposed to such ignorant beings having the power to bsrter away my happiness, my life, end country, for a drink of whisky, or a low down hlnek guard taie. It mnet not be forgotten that the political power of the State control* both lie property end Us life. Let every white man, then, in Oreenvi le District, ask himself this question. Is the negro, whom . Congress has acknowledged to he too ignor ant to make his own contract*, and be the gnardlan of hie own labor, competent to be made the custodian of my life, proper'y, and country! This is nothing more thin you make him aa soon as you invest h m with the right of suffrage universally. Such a thought is horrid in its very (vnrplivn ! | . ... . - --*m ii ( in ~ ' vWiTTi who Iiqm the hardshlpe and wlfeHii*! of a 1 ftour years' defoliating war, and the boned uf . whose fathers, brother# and tone, now jdfep upon the hill*, and valley* of tha Ninth, s 'ball voluntarily accept aoch degradation, fa horrid In tha extreme!
