in some of the Southern States
white men are fighting against
white men, and successfully
disfranchising them, with the
use of the same election machin

evidently thinks it a case of
righteous retribution, and the

agrees with him thoroughly,

We regret that the discussion
carries us so far back into hist
ory.'but when a doctor is called
in to see a sick person, is he
content to form his diagnosis of
the case from the external evi
dences of the condition of the
patient? Does he not rather go

Trad'og. and Our Hypocrit’cal
Efforts to Free tjje Negro after
Selling Him into Slavery,” a.id
our friend would be nearer the
mark in the startling head-lines
he has prepared for his article.
We have never been among
the number of those who de
light in stirring over the dead
embers of the past in hope of re
kindling a blase, or even for the
purpose of rounding off some
high-sounding argument. The
civil war, the causes which led
to it, and the results which en
sued from it, have, for the most
part, passed into history, wnere,
for one, we are generally con
tent to let them rest. But wo
cannot go as far as Mr. McLeod,
the protege of the Mail and Ex
press, according to whom it is
on evidence of narrow-minded
ness and Bourbanism to attempt
to draw any inference from
cause to effect. If we acknowl
edge, with him, that our present
political suffering arises from
our past political sins, we must
stop there—it would be wrong
to go back further and show
what led to those political sins
and that we Southerners were
perchance not the only political
sinners!
Well, we do not believe we
have ever tried to occupy too
lofty a ground in regard to this
matter. It is a law of nature
that for every wrong committed
its resultant evil must be visit
ed on the head of the wrong
doer. “Chickens will come
home to roost,” as the saying
is. We are willing to grant,
therefore, that, in South Caroli-
na, we are suffering just now
for our past political sins. Dis
franchising the negro was a
wrong which we knew would
react upon us sooner or later,
and we cannot say that we are
surprised that the evil day has
at length arrived. But, having
said that much, it is only com
mon justice to add that our
fault lay in meeting wrong with
wrong—in attempting to coun
teract the wrong which the peo
ple of the North had inflicted
upon us in placing in dominion
-over us a race thoroughly unfit
to rule—ignorant,feeble-minded,
prejudiced, and with not one
spark of moral responsibility.
To attempt a justification of the
course we pursued, particularly
within the necessarily circum
scribed limits of an article such
as this, is a task we will not
now undertake. We will be
content with the assertion, hon
estly and conscientiously made,
in the full knowledge and ap
preciation of all the conditions
surrounding us at the time, that
we acted as we believe the edit
or of the Mail and Express,
for instance, would have done
had he been similiarly situated.
“But,” some may say, “the
sin goes further back than that;
began with the sin of slav
the sin of slavery, and the re
sponsibility for errors commit
ted in the past rests upon the
North and South alike. It is
human for men to err, we admit;
but we cannot permit to go un
challenged the paraphrase of
the maxim which our friends of
North would make, “It is
human for the South to err.”
We know we have made er
rors, and are willing to acknow
ledge them. How different is it
with our Pharisaical brethren of
the North who “make broad
their phylacteries and enlarge
the borders of their garments,”
thanking God all the while that
they are not as other men! They
may draw their “protected” silk
robes around them in fancied
security and exaltation, but we
say to them that the day is com
ing, nay, if the tigns of the time
fail not, is now at hand, when,
great as this great country is
that they fondly imagine has
been built up by their efforts
alone, they, too, will find to
their cost, that there is retribu
tion for wrong-doing, and that
their sins, and those of their
fathers, will come home to
them.
