Tlie Status and Prospects of the
Negro.
Solely as a political measure, the sudden
and violent emancipation of tho slaves of
the South was regarded wilh the profound-
est concern by all reflecting men. For year*
the speculative world had been revolving the
ethical nature of slavery. Is it right, or is
it wrong ? Is it justifiable^ or is it unjusti
fiable? Is it ordained of heaven, or is it
born of hell? v ere questions which stirred
the very depths of uiorahta’ souls. Of course
these abstractions were susceptible of no de
termination. The premises on which the
disputants founded their reasonings were
contradictory, and the whole contorvorsy was
an enormous ‘‘begging the question'' on
both sides. Nor could the lapse of time
give to this issue a calumniation in facts—
the only definitve settlement. But there
were other questions of such vast importance
as to render them fully worthy of the great
intellects which were concentrated ou them.
Upon their solution the fates depended; and
while casuists pondering the sterile problem
of right, publicists and philanthropists in
vestigated the pregnant question of expe
diency. Is it really beneficial to the mas
ter? Is it best fur the slave? Can both
races flourish under such a system ? The
“long results of time” returned affirmative
answers to these inquiries. The master
grew proud and self-reliant, spirited and in
tellectual, and, finally, enormously wealthy;
to counterbalance these things there were
elevation of mind, and religious truth pos
sessed by no cognate race. Then the dis
cussion advanced another step, and this
query was propounded and agitated : Since
tho negro has shown himself able to prosper
in contact with the whites, since he has man
ifested a capacity for the reception of a
certain degree of refinement, since he grasp
ed the principles of an abstract religion;
would ho not rise higher and higher in in
tellectual and spiritual being, even, perhaps,
until he strains along the same race as his
master, if the fetters were stricken from his
limbs, and the rights of freedom given to
him, and freedom’s incentive placed before
turn l 1 lie voices of the impetous masses,
from all nations, cried out for tho experi
ment. From the boiling of the universal
sentiment, a groat mist arose, and 4iung over
tho South like a cloud, presaging storm, and
perhaps ruin. But ail did not join in this
revolutionary enthusiasm. Most men of
philosophy ami reflection regarded its ob-
foct with misgiving, and felt that its plans
were chimeras whose result might ha deso
lation. Hegel, who says, “Slavery is iu aud
for itself injustice, for the essence of human
ity is freedom,’’ writes, also, ou the same
page af follows:
“From tho various traits it is manifest
that want of self control distinguishes the
character of the negroes. This condition is
capable of no development or culture, aud as
wc see r.Uem at this day, such have they al
ways been. The only essential connection
that has existed aud continued between ne
groes aud the Europeans is that’of slavery.
In this the negroes see nothing unbecoming
them, and the English, who have done most
for abolishing the slave-trade and slavery.
lous; and ignorance and credulity pres, ut a
fertile soil wherein all classes of evil-doers,
from the half-crazed fanatic to the crafty de-
magogue, may raise a wild harvest of hatred
and strife. They heard the onward rush of
coming anarchy, and feared that some di
rect and direful issue would eventnally bring
the two races into collision/ The baughtr
ness of dethroned absolutism on the one
hand, and the bitterness springing from re
membered wrongs on the other, might na
turally arouse the deadliest, antagonism; and
upon such a result the world stood expcctaut.
The Southron himself never doubted what
the issue of such a disaster would be; but
the earnestness with which he, nevertheless,
labored to ward it off, is-known to himself
alone, and few others would believe it if told
If a conquest over self is the greatest of vic
tories, beyond a doubt tho South ist ho great
est of victors. Ignoring that bitterest of all
affronts, an outraged pride; ignoring the
preference given by negroes whom he had
raised aud, to the couucils of tire inercct
straccers; ignoring their distrust of his ve
racity, a doubt made yet more irritating by
their implicit relanee on the slightest words
of unprincipled rdventures; ignoring reitera
ted and causelesi insults from those to whom
his nod had ones beea law; ignoring incen-
diery Loyal Learues, riots, masacres and as
sassinations, 'he Southerner strove to lead
this people ariglt. Through all, iu spite of
all, he pitied the negro; despised him some
times, perhaps, jut never hated Lim—that
papsion was reserved, in its full intensity, for ,
the infamous foiicnters of discord. His ef
forts were unavtiliig. Falsehood and ma-
chiuaiion have marly accomplished their
aim, and the negro has disregarded the ad
vice, slighted the remonstrances, despised
the arguments andappeals of his best friends
that he might cat himself headlong into
destruction, frorfive years his former mas
ter have refused 0 hold him responsible for
his madness, and nave exci ted every energy
for his salvation.

with the kings to sell their captured enemies
or even their own subject; and viewed iu
ihe light of surt, fact wc may conclude sla
very to have been the occasion of the in
crease of human fueling among the negroes.
* * * But thus existing in a State, sla
very is itself a phase of advance from the
merely isolated sensual existence, a phase of
education, a mel c of becoming participant in
a higher moral!.y, and the culture connec
ted with it. Slavery is in and for itself in
justice, for the essence of humanity is free
dom : hut for this man must be matured.—
The gradual abolition of slavery is therfore.
wiser and more equitable than ils sudden
removal.”
When Webster was in Columbia, S. C.,
he said “that uo change could be made
which would benefit the slave.”
In his Emancipation 1’roelamaiion, Mr.
politicians, accuvnncd to regard government
u*i Bi ieuee as U? tilgl.est or ol! studies, con
sidering political celebrity and excellence as
almost the sole aim worthy of a great mind,
and holding thr elective franchise to ha the
moat precious of all prerogilives, the South
ern people viewed this meaiure with indig
nant scorn, and expressed thrir feelings with
the greatest vehemence. Taey felt, and felt
truly, that this was no elevirion of tho nc-
groe, but a degradation of tie franchise.—
With but few exceptions they felt, too deep
ly to reason impartially, ami failed to give
that attention which the nrgunents of their
opponents merited. Conscious of a faithful
acceptance of the results of tie strife just
passed, aud of the untarnished faith which
they maintained, they asserted ‘.hat the ne
gro needed no protection beyonl what they
themselves could and would give him. We
believe that if there is a eounry on earth
where under the circumstances his natural
rights would have been held in'iolatc that
country ts the South. Let tie Southern
whites once have recognized auj measure as
justly due the negro, ai.d thit measure
would have become a law. Their tiotto would
have been “Fiat just it in rjtit ev/unt;” but
grave doubts may be he entertain.d whether
they were able to judge wilh tie strictest
impartiality of what that justice would Le.
John Adams said, “Reason, j: fit ice and
equity never had weight tnough, on the
face of the earth, to govern the councils of
men. It is interest ah me which does it, and
it is interest alone which eta be trusted.”
Perhaps Mr. Adams was Uo sweeping in
his statement; hut certainly men who com
bine the sagacity which follows cve.y act to
its ultimate results, and the disinterested .c-s
which looks beyond self, with the magnaiiim-
which sacrifices the desires of self to the
rights of others (i specially i r little things,)
regulate the progress of commerce, the growth
and multiplication of eoraoratc bodies, arts,
etc., than it is that its politial institutions
must be adapted to the ever-varying charac
ter of its subjects. The momentous change
in tho social orgauizntion of the Smith, ne-
cesitated a corrcspvuding change in her po
litical fabric.
Such were the views of the Northern peo
ple concerning the condition of affairs South.
The more deeply the controversy is studied,
the more one is impressed with the sound
ness of Herbert Spencer’s philosophical cor
ner-stone—the ncnlcus of truth, wrapped up
in every widely disseminated belief. In tho
ground assumed by each party, there was
truth and there was falacy. Tho South
rightly claimed that she knew the negro best,
and would endeavor to do him justice. The
North rightly held that if he needed protec
tion, she was the one who would be most
likely to give it to him, and whoso duty,
moreover, it was to do so. The former er
ror in over-estimating her powers of self-
forgetfulness; the latter, in far underrating
her antagonist’s candor and trustworthiness.
Both failed to appreciate the fact that rights
which rest on the magnanimity of others for
support, arc resting on frail foundations.
Aside from this, there was more truth than
error in the position of the South ; more er
ror than truth, in that of the North.
The victrix decided to interpose her tri
umphant eagles. Then she fell in love with
her policy and her power. Loosing the logic
and prescience of the philosopher, she clasp
ed to her breast the zeal of the partisan.—
To guard against what she thought a great
evil, she rushed headlong into the dreadful
abyss which has swallowed up the major part
of the world's commonwealths. Forgetting
that the very efficiency of a weapon renders
it the more profitable that an unskilled hand
ler will commit involuntary suicide with it,
she regarded suffrage as in itself at once
good and tho parent ofuthcr hide finitely great
good, and thought that in vesting tho negro
with this valuable privilege she was qualify
ing him to care for himself. The enfran
chisement was effected. What has been tho
consequence ?
The negro has been gradually hrontrtit. to
realize the fulness of the power which has
been given him. Office-seekers and fanatics
have continuously poured into his ears the
sweetness of his story, and have also filled
his heart with distrust of his former masters,
and hatred for them. Had the negro been
left to himself, ho would have felt little, if
any, rancor toward the whites. No people
on earth would have been leas vengeful.—
But in this fact wo only find n seal where
with to stamp yet more deeply tho infamy of
those who have gone about secretly infusing
gall into his bosom, aud sowing the seeds of
a hostility whole upgrowth could but hasten
hi? extirpation. Wielded by the foul sus
picions and tho unreasonable jealousies de
rived from this source, ho has gradually
withdrawn himself from even the good influ
ence of tho Southern gentleman. He has
massed his race in political antagonism, aud
flung down the defying gauntlet with a su-
parciliousnoss and insolence which would be
insupportable from an equal. This ill-ad
vised conduct has left the proud Southron
no recourse save the determination to repu
diate him altogether. There was sorrow, as
well as anger, in this resolve ; and it was
not without a yearning after the humble
ones who had surrounded ami served his
boyhood that it was made. For years a
great sympathy has hound the two races to
gether, but now a deep gulf is opening be
tween them. Before long the strange spec- ; be regarded as intolerable. It meins ruin,
tncle will be presented of two peoples inter- j In addition to this injurious habit, there
mingled throughout the same territory, and ' jg another which, while not so repulsive in
only remarking that they who forsake a
neighbor whom they cannot help respecting,
ing, will hardly adhere to a stranger whom
they mnst despire. That such will be the
position of the races, in their relation to each
other, is beyond a doubt. They aro even
now settling into it. Together with many
other similar facts, this has been wholly over
looked. The attention of the world has been
fixed on tho mighty convulsions which are
casting the negro up into ominence, and has
lost other agencies—agencies which are
equally potent, though silcut, and which will
materially affect his future.
§uch is the present condit;on of the ne
gro, in the South. Ills future status is now
in the process -of fixation; and we regret to
say, that it is prefigured by the darkest shad
ows. The mass of the Southern people would
have rejoiced if, after his liberation, he had
accepted the responsibilities of freedom, as
well as its immunities and rights ■ if he had
recognized tho claim which intellectual su
periority has ou his respect, and which ex
isting laws have on his obedience ; and if ho
had turned the force of his mighty muscle
to developing the resources of those States
which he claims as his home and heritage,
and from which he rcccies his maintainancc.
But all these things, either wholly or in part
ha has failed to do, Tho South regrets the
failure, because it indicates tho entrance up
on a career which ho is in no wise competent
to run. External pressure may sustain him
in Uk assumption of.political functions; but
no portion can give him prosperity under the
adoption of habits altogether unsuited to him.
Man’s destructive hand may never crush
him, but there is an unsoundness iu him
self which will surely induce decay under
the adverse elements which he is deliberate
ly cnconfitering. Ruled by all the passions
inherent in the African, and differing essen
tially from the whites in both physical and
mo ral organization, he is endeavoring to
assume tho garb of the Caucasian, and to
adopt his methods of life Like most imi

which they arc susceptible.
These are severe remarks, but they are
unenibclished truth. The recital and sub
stantiation of such charges must necessarily
be an unpleasant task, and wc would willing
ly avoid it; but there aro important facts to
be revealed by such au investigation, and
duty forbids any omimion to present them.
Among the moot serious evils which the
uegro is fastening on himself, is au encrcaa-

least afford such an indulgence. The phy

It means the destruction of their only de

means advantage ground given to disease,
and to every difficulty incident to their sta

from Congress, yet who is a candidate for re-
election to that body. When Butler labored
to save Whittcmore from expulsion, he per
fectly well knew that Whittcmore bore a very
bad character; but such was Butler’s hatred
of the while people of South Carolina that
he wanted Whiitemore iu Congress nominal
ly to represent them, but really to annoy
them.
General Beale made this town his head
quarters, and commanded the detached posts
which wore established in different parts of
Peo Dec region. Thcoilieers commanding the
posts discovered large quantit ies of cotton on
the plantations. Already Whitemoro had
behaved disreputably, and was no longer

Whittcmore was elected to fill both of tho
officers of which he was a candidate; but
when he took his seat in the Statu Senate,
opposition was raised to his remaining there,
and he had to leave. Then ho went to Con
gress as a representatives, and was suddenly
ousted on grounds with which the public are
already familiar.
Among those who commanded here was
Captain Hawkins a graduate of West Point.
Ho had a remarkably loquacious, jolly and
obliging lieutenant named Hogc, who did not
like Whittcmore, and frequently character
ized Lim as
AN ARRANT SCOUNDREL.
Hoge was always telling the white poopla
that he was a Democrat, much to their dis
gust. That they concealed, however. He
capped the climax one day by saying, in the
presence of Col. Waving, a Southerner, that
his father was stumping the State of Ohio for
the Democratic p>arty, and that ho too, would
be doing the same thing if he was not here.
Subsequently Colonel Waring met Ilogo at
table in tbc dining hali of the Charleston
Hotel, in Charleston and said to him: “Ilogo

ANOTHER CONTEMPTIBLE FRAUD.
The trial of criminal causes way ,1,3,5 re
duced to fraud. The negroes who unfortu
nately got into conflic(s wilh the whites were
invariably reprimanded or punished, provid

the lawyers r, Darlington never took a case
until they knew how much the white man
could afford to pay, and then they would

case “tried,” and the money secretly paid.
All this time Whittcmore was in such a had
repute with the Jlasmchnsetls regiment that
the members of it would not tolerate his
preaching to them, and when they called
