( chagrin finds vent, against good i government. Mr. Wel'stcr'H pro? j i'i ssion is that of a minister of the Gospel, ihe spirit manifested is t'.nt of any tiling else. Some of us know lhat he has persistently persecuted and sought to injure tho influence of X' rthti n ministers here, for uo other reaoon than that they made frieuds among us, and eschewed active par tieipancy in politico. The cullivatiou ol a neighborly and friendly inter course with native citizens was a proof of "party" disloyalty and conse ntient unfitnesa. Thcroception givon to these gentlemen, regardless of thrir private political views h.is assured thorn of our desire for peace, while the ignoring of Mr. Webster's existence except an the cause, of malicious mischief, is the expression of that honest indignation and con ti nipt, which i.s felt by a people who have roc< i.vcd only malice at his hands We know of no cause for, uor dissatisfaction among the honest and industrious colored people. We know of no proscription of the do serving colored nun in any way. No ebthbi nations exist to deny the colored man the fruit, of his labor. (':i the contrary wo arc in the midst >?!' law and order. Acts of violence and lawlessness common to a few years hack are m>t heai'd of. Tho urgest and handsomest public school (.LMafliu) is exclusively for the color' cd peopje. A corps of four Northern, two native, nnd end one co'ore 1 teacher, direct its affairs. I', is ft slcrcd und supported by the State, and is tho tonal of any school fur the colored youth in the land.

The last political par nde hiado by the colored p epic, when this Mr. Webster offered his piivato premises for the display saw at least soven hundred colored men u:onntid on their own mules or hoiscs We unhesitatiiiglysay that a cordid, kindly feeling exists among tl e rat fs \\1 t ie no political teacher is found, and we are pleased to see that even the < lerical politicians arc Irsing inllnei.ee with the colored man. We have no further aim in tli is than to allow iho readers of Mr. W thstci's let'. is to see ihe c n!r?die ti>;t! <?! their statements. Canning to livci in a Ctibit and a State whore civil and religious works ara to be compared wi;!i thosu of any part of the Uni-n, whore law is supreme, and win i c j r< sperity is certain if slow, we regret to state that Mr. Webster's letters are prompted by malice, and are not in accordance with facts. As imn whose avocations are outside of politics, and freed from its emolu ments, and with a desire for harmony and peace, wi- arc ready to assort that the charges by this Mr. Webster against this people are not correct.

Certain letters having boon written from this section, and published in Northern papers (including tho ' Tribune") of wi le circulation, which must have the effect of damaging our reputations as citizen? of this com munity, inasmuch as they represent us, as combining to defraud the color: ed people of the value of their labur, deny them civil and school privileges except in shadow, and otherwise act unjustly towards them as citizens. We deny the same in toto, and affirm that, we enjoy peace and contoutinent with them, that the industrious aro respected aud thriving, and that no section of this great countxy is less liable to the censure of.political or race persecution than this.

The names of the gentlemen sign ! ing arc a guarantee of the calm, yet J indignant, denial of the gratuitous \ abuse they have in common been subject to. The sacredness of tho ! pulpit hus stamped it as without foundation in fact. The seciusiou aud retiren)ent of venerable age has set its sen! of denial. The moderation of the privato citizen, and profosshm al men has rebuked it as a slander, j The few foreigners win form a valu able part of our community, and who have made ot:r little town their home, join us in asserting that they too are mi.-represented. To avoid any color ing of political or partyscutimont, it was thought best to allow only tho .names of nou-office-holders, aud ?w.r.,.i>i ii. : r.rniniii; n' in iKditicy tQ bj '"attached, and it may be safely said that every part of this County is represented by a leading nanu.
