In accordance with our intimation in our lout, wo resume the subject of Dr. Webster's letter to day. No be'.lor denial of Ilm bald and barefaced statement that tho colored pcoplo arc denied their political rights here is needed than the living fact that colored men represent the Democracy of Orangeburg and ?South. Carolirn iu the Lcgie'ature through tl e votes of the white people. Politically the Democrats have been far more generous than tho Republicans. Never once have tho Republicans during their halcyon days of pluudcr in this State permit ted a Democrat to hold office, or even voted for one as a part}'. On the contrary, th c Democrats have done so repeatedty. In 187(1 iu the interest of harmony, the Demo crats nominated Judge Carpenter, a well known, able and distinguished Republican Judge for Governor, and worked zealously for his election. In 1874 they supported Deinny an edu catcd leader of the colored people for Liicut. Governor, and nearly elected him. In 187G colored men could be found on the Democratic ticket in most of the Counties; and to day colored men are enjoying oflicc through Democratic votes. We would iike to know how many colored men can be found iu oflicc in Vermont ? Pr. Webster again speaks of tho low wrges of the colored people and their bad treatment by the whites. zzizzs^-SW^lJfoTTTnTdd infer that ]]???? ? .-,st*T , ? *Wr. Webster s humanity Hows out in [ deeds of practical kindness towards these people. Put when we examine into the matter we lind that he is not unlike other men. By reference to the records in the Clerk of Court's oflicc we find that his liens and mortgages draw from these poor un fortunate creatures 12 per cent.:inter est, until checked by the Usury La w framed and engineered through tho Democratic Legislature by that arch rebel Gen. M. W. Gary, fixing tho legal ralo at 7 per cent., and thus making speculators amenable to thc law. If Dr. Webster thinks wages aro too low, it seems strange that ho should pay no more than other people, and in fact less than a great many. A little circumstance here occurs to us which shows tho difference be tween tho old time slave owner, an 1 the modern carpet bagger and philanthropist of the Webster stripe. Dr. Webster was the fortunate purchaser after the war of a lino plantation in our suburbs from Col. Oliver the buildings and improve ments on which we are informed cost the latter not 1c* ihm $8000. Col. Oliver being a bankrupt of the war, Dr. Webster got tho whole property with 100 acres for $5000. In the rear of this plantation, and hem no! in by it and tho surrounding placci, is a little lot of fice acres owned by a poor colored man. His only out let to the town was through a corner of this plantation which he used dur ing Col. Oliver's proprietorship with out any interruption. As soon how ever as Dr. Webster became proprie tor he prohibited him from passing through and commenced suit against him for trespass. Gen. I/.Iar took the case for the colored man,and the matter was finally compromised be t?re il got into Coin t /gain Dr. Webster says in his letter, that "they (the colored people) are told hero in the most emphatic terras that all efforts on their part to secure any triumph for tho Republi can party will be in vain?that tho white people will wade in blood be foro anything of the kind shall bo consummated, aud that the freed - men may as well submit first as last.'' What dreams of blood torture tho imagination of this philanthropic divine I Hfl snuffs it in every breeze, while the unwitting massed tiro innocently pursuing their avocations, or quietly enjoying the gentle zephyrs of their sunny homes. Who tu Iks of blood ? Wo fear those who want blood?fanatics and agitators, whoso only hopes depend upon the aliena tion of the races. If the .Southern people wanted blood they h ive had ample provoca tion to have it. Chamberlain, tho leader of the Ucpublicntl party tried to provoke it in 187(5, when he brought in his [Iuukidori rulliaus to bully the Democratic Legislature, lint the peaceful counsels of ti amp ton prevailed. The Republican plol failed and the city oi Columbia was I saved a carnage which would have found no parallel in the history of South Carolina. But there is no chance to change J)r. Webster. His heart seems steeped against our people. Why it should he so we can't imagine. Jt is for the victors rather than the con quered to be magnanimous. He comes to this little Southern town, lives in style, gels a Federal oflice, which could he filled by a poor and honest -colored man, as it was before, aud from his eminence writes letters to the North abusing the peo ple among whom he lives. But it is useless to say anything more. His mental vision is ton much abscurcd by prejudice to see the truth. All we can do is to meet and neutralize his influence for evil. Fivotal Ohio. This State is always regarded as j the pivot upon which the Presidential election hangs. Uu this nc.cn.in tit will bo a tremendous battleground in the campaign which has now com menced. Both j arties huvo (?tone well in their nominations. The lie publicans have nominated C. G Fost er for Governor, who is a liberal Ile publican and very popular in the Democratic party. The Democrats have nomitcd Gen. Thomas F.wing and Gen. Rice, both distinguished Union Generals aud very able and popular. The Grccubuckers nLo nominated a full ticket, but since its nomination the impression is that the Democrats havo filled tho bill, Gen. Ewitlg's ""^^yW^Ts^being entirely in ae cord with thatpartj", and the pro p?.cl is that these two parties will coalesce. In fact a meeting has already been held expressing dissatisfaction at their own nominations, and calling for another convention. The prospect for the Democ rats i., good. ?m ' * ? ?sw?i ? ? - Hampton's Speech. The speech ofSenator Hampton in Congress last week in another evi dence of his broad statesmanship. He is uncompromising, and yet ho never drops a word or sentiment that our opponents can use against us. He says he will never vote to allow the wheels of government to be clogged, nor on the other hand will he cast his vote for any measure that will allow the army to be used as an instrument of tyranny. Senator Hampton is a far seeing statesman, unmoved by the clamors of the populace, and his utter nuces reflect credit upon the section which he represents. What we want in Congress is wisdom rather than orat ir> or a blow ing of trumpets, and this we have in our St nat sr. - mm) ? ? ? Congress. A resolution has been adopted fix ing June 17th as the day of adjourn ment for this body. The judicial bill has passed the House by a strict party vo e. It is said that Hampton and Bai lor arc on opposite sides on the Silver Bill. Tho former being for, and tho latter against it. Jidilor Ornngeburg Time? : LxAit Sin?You certtin'y do me a great injustice, in your i.-sur, of last week by Haying that in a recent letter to the "New York Tribune,' I claim to be representing the- condition of affairs in Orangeburg County. No where in said letter do 1 speak of Ornngeburg County as a locality I am designing to represent. But as my article claims, I speak of the state of* felling in this State in refe rence to one subject, that of emigra tion from the Stat e. I speak of the actual existence of this feeling, and the causes that havo operated to produce it. The District over which I am constantly traveling, includes, at least' half a dozen counties in the State. In pc'v > of these counties meetings have been hold to consider the matter of emigration, hut not in this County as far as I know. My statements arc moderate and truthful to the host of my knowledge, and represent fuels which 1 person ally regret, as all of my financial interests uro inseparably blended with the future development and prosperity of South Carolina. I have taken money safely deposited iu tho North and invested it hero in dif ferent counties in this State. I am not among a certain class ol men who spend a p rtiou of their time bore to secure mom y to enrich homes they have built or bought elsewhere iu which they design to enjoy the money they can secure in their precarious wanderings in other localities. No man in South Carolina can say that I have ever defrauded him by any mania out of a sinyle dollar. No party in this State, or any other, can well nfiord to he indifferent to what exists in tho stern relitioi ol stubborn facts. As I infer that you have not seen my entire loiter in tho "New ^i oi k Tribune," I hero send you a copy, trusting,'if on its reading, you think I was misrepresented by you it will be your pleasure to make tho correction. Respectfully you is, A. Wehster. OrangcburgS. C, dune l Jih, IS79. Wo received the above just before going to press and we cheerfully pub li.-h it, as we wish to do Mr. Webster no injustice. It comes too late for us to comply with the author's request, or to make any comments further than to say that if anything we have written seems harsh, it is because we feel that our people have been unjustly and severely assailed. Nor does our impvessiou as to the import of the letter seem to ililfor much from that of the editor of the "Tribune," for after reading it ho concludes in refe rence to tho negroes, that, "they are cheated and oppressed by their em ployers, and arc deprived id the right of suffrage, and for redress have only the Courts to look to which their oppressors admin ster."
