These f:w;:i-]u*:on? wo'v incoritrovcrtibly es'.aolished by an appeal to nisi history, and to ofaeiai documents which were unitr.peachcd and unimpeachable. The speaker showed that lor many years tha African slave trade was maintained by Now England capital in Now England ships, and that in exchango for rum, notions and powder and Ehot, tho Yankees obtained negroes from th 3 ec/ist of Africa, a?*d sold Ihcm to the South.

These facts provod co:tclu-ivoIy th.it tho negro had been much hotter treatod "at tho South than at tho North, pud showed clearly who wcro his truo friends. Tho abolition of slavery had been brought about bytho Yankees from nO love to the negro, or a desire to imJ proro bis conditiori/but from jealousy of Southern property and a wish t.0 appropriate tbo rich cotton, sugar and, tobucco lands of t^o S ?ath.

The Address to the Colored Voter?5 the City of Charleston One of the meet ?--ifoeUvo campaign documents of ( W season, is tho address to tho colored voters of tho city of Charleston, by Gonoial James Conner, President of tho Democratic Club ot ilint city. It was callod forth by the 1000:1'. riotous demonstrations on the I part of the blacks ot that city, and to ' which thoy were incited liy certain j whites for party put posts, and pr< r.. 1. 1: _ c f r?w?i i-i iwi uivii vi/.iriiUVUIllUH cl I'O'.V. 1 j plain fac-t-?, Ktated in plain language, j | It presents# an authoritative nnnwtinco- j \ nunt 01" the views and purposes of the i .

In tho language of the , ! address, il conU>ifiS "no sta'omentsi j th:it we (!<> not believo lo bo true?no j j promise thnt wc do not intend honest.' !y to fulfill," ar.d cominur.ds itself to I the* a', ten lion of tho colored people i j generally. The iiivsl proposition which is pet i f.jrth and ehas iy established in tho ; ' address, :s that tho Southern v liiles d I lis are the natural friends of! '? ae'i other.

Again, tho address exposes the ab-* 6urd and wicked falsehood, which has : been circulated ior party purposes, that tho Democrats would reduce tho blach^ again into slavery.
