with regard to the iittilttdo 61*the j

hu st.ch disappointed p litical n*pi- |
rahts nstho Writer oftheso letters and \
a few others of the same ilk whose. (
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. Our tux
1 oid:.- ihow lhat inside of this corpor
ate n of a population of fifteen hund
-cd, t i < it have been built and paid
for, thirty neat cott:\ge3, which with
t heir It Is of an acres or more b long
to co- ircil men. There arc hundreds
of colored men paying*taxes on tracts,

tired acre?, and the laborer who mi?
not tc'c'ured Iiis'homestead nnd mule
or horse is thought littlo of by his
own people. 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. It
was thought best too to avoid a mass
meeting as first proposed, because of
the pressure of time bearing on the
farmers, and to prevent any martyr
capital to he mad *. One thing U
sure the people know who it is that
I has misrepresented t'nem, and they
hope an indignant protest will tnako
any further action to bo properly1 ro
presented unnecessary. Showing "tlm
matter in a light as seen by Dr. K.
('u)lc. a clergyman from Massachu
setts, and ono quite as reliable, ac- ?
cording to the Springfield "Ropublr
can," as the "Tribune's" correspond
ent. We quote frrm his letter of
December 28,187S:
"When correspondents of the
Northern press conic down here they
aro taken in hand by these disappoint
ones who are filled width hate
toward Southern people * * * ami
tho next number of the papers such
correspondents represent will come
out at the North, with all the distor
tion and colot ing of the facts which
theso disappointed haters can invent "
* * * ' Taxes have been leviod
to provide means for his (colored
man's) education. Common schools
have been greatly improve I, and
appropriations made to pay the inter
est on educational bonds squandered
by previous administrations to II imp
ion 's. The State is now struggling to
pay off a echool debt of more than
$300,000, tho ateahigo of previo ti
officials. * * * ?"The op.v>jition
of the Southern whites "h not tu negro
suffrage or negro office-holding, or to
the rights of manho id, which t'.us
constitutional umeudm mish saa'jrj,
but tho opposition is chiefly to turn
ing again tho gOV< ruin nit of thiStata
over to e.arpet-bay and bayonet rule."
Our tax hooks show that tho color- *"
ed peoplo of this County pay anout
one seventh of the taxes, and that tho
aggregate value of property owtted
by them is 890,000. There ?ro 1840
Colored children in the public schools,
against 1211 white children. All tlm
colored children arc under colored
teachers It is hoped that ibis st.it. >
incut will have the effect of rein lvin^
tho cobwebs of prejudice from North
ern ovo?,
