We publish by request a set of res olutions passed by the Webster uieet i ig" on Friday last, purporting to be :an endorsement of the sentiment ex " pressed in the Tribune letter, but in reality ,iu nothing more than a repeti tion of the ideas?the same old meat .hashed over. P?y the report of the meeting found elsewhere, prepared for the Democrat by a reliable color ed man; it will be seen there was 'great'dissatisfaction and but little in terest taken in the meeting by the ?voters" of tho county present. Moreover it is asserted in Resolution 'l, that the Tribune letter expressed 'the "just and correct sentiments of jjie colored people of Qrangeburg County ;" m$t there was pot one-tenth '(^f ,ibe colored people of the county in 'attendance. At tho highest estimate there was not more than a few J.i.uu 'died of lean nnd .hungry tuen, women 'and children enticed by promises Ljirxuigb the pulpit of a "4lh of July dinner." Resolution 2, recognizes Dr. Web ster as "a friend and faithful worker in the ministry of the Gospel." Dr. 'Webster on every conveiiicrit.occasion uiiKos politics with his Gospel, whelh '<?!? it be by his epistolary correspond Vnoc conversation around the family c ircle ?r clforAs in /he pulpit. This ' tfas not the manner of Christ or auy ol his faithful apostles. No man mani 'fVsfS Iiis educational interest for a '"people by'making every opposition to, rthd 'success of the only institution of] learning of n high grade in,the Slate Ulf the colored race. .Such h is been hfe i6'.:v?on to C^oflin University und -llrv 'Cooke, and the institution has '1 een'ihjuYetl more or less by it. Such 'conductWakes him anything else but 'a''minister, and stamps him as the 'prfoe'e of the "Double-faced" nobility. ' ' iV?..-..i,,i;.o l_1___ i.i_ ? i n ;.-uiuuun -i , 1uu?B uijui1 mill US ? ?! i j ,; i ' * \ ?*a well wisher of the Southern pco-I '^ile, I'ditek and white." J.I there ever *wns a man whose life has been a poi kson to n people, whose influence has bfceh pregnant o/ evij, and whose 'writings have kept alive the preju dices dfraco and the hatred founded "ob the relationship of master and 'slave, that man is Dr. Alonzo Web ster. The mistake of Dr. Webster's life has been an effort to bring the Southern people over to his way of | thinking, instead of adapting himself I to theirs. Resolution A asserts that there are comparatively few white persons who "advocate adequate compensation for' our lahor, and those few are subject) v? imHjjnu) ostracism in their busi I Vmss a;id social living." Leaving Dr. i ^Vji'.bsier and Iiis kind onto/ the .ques tion, because it is commonly said be will take advantage of colored labor ers in the payment of wages,-we would ask that individual cases of .ostracism i>e specified and that the white men who refnse adequate com pensation to colored laborers be named ; a simple denial is worthless ; we want facts and their proof. Let us hays them. Resolution 6, says the colored peo ple tue not satisfied with tho wages 'paid lor their labor, price of re;>ls 'and of goods they purchase on credit. We know that the price paid for la bor la low, but there is no discrimi nation made between white and black ^aborcrs. This is a matter to be reg uluted exclusively by the laws of sup ply und demand, and not by lcgisla li?ir'And combination. The same may VVni'd'' i'd reference to the purchase of suppbep and rent of lands. ' The last resolution sets forth mild Jy that this condition of affairs is not Calculated to'inspire the confidence of the cojorcd peoplo in those who s^xt^sx m?^?.^.^.i....'U'^5H!"f^ profess to bo .friend;* an.] urge thein'' to stay here. Tho whites desire tho confidence' of tbo blacks cud wo be lieve they have }t,in every thing but politics, wo believe they are friends to ouch other and havo lived in har mony and peace ever since J87G, when tho Democracy obtained control of tho State government. It is not their duty, however, to'persuade the blacks to remain here. They have never done so aud we hope they nev er will. If the negroes desire to go to Kansas, Liberiaor elsewhere let them go, and go in ^peace. Every man is entitled in this .country to go and come as he pleases, provided ^ie does so as tho law directs. Tho.J whites are not and never were dc-| pendent on the colored people, and any such idea entertained hy them will prove ruinous to their ruce as' well as Ijo their material prosperity. To sum up the whole matter, this so-called muss meeting was called and these resolutions written in the interest of Air. Webster, and adopted as resolutions usually arc by the vote of half-dozen persons as an off-set to the reply of a committee of white citizens to his Tribune letter. The influence of Ibis meeting will reach tho Northern mind as Dr. Webster designs, mid will probably catch the Northern car, because they will be lieve the meeting to have been a grand mass meeting of all tho color ed citizens, instead of a few hundred hungry men, women and children, who cared but little for speeches or resolutions; they will believe it enthusiastic, instead of lukewarm and indifferent, and they will believe the resolutions accurately reflect the sentiment of the entire colored race, instead of the sentiments of Straker and a few disappointed aspirants. As a journalist we would desire a different slate of affairs, but can nev er hope for a change so long as Dr. Webster ami Jus sympathizers pei sint in agitating old prejudices and giving circulation to individual re ports rather than the true stale of affairs as they ought to find them ex isting. Dr. Webster's professed sphere is religion* not politics, and he should bring forth the fruits - of spirit, not those of the flesh. Streets. Towns, built up now, have their streets located before a house is erect ed recording to some plan agreed upon which might best conduce to the beauty of the place and the conven ience of the inhabitants in the aggre gate ; but our older towns, like Or angeburg, were laid out to suit the convenience of each settler without regard to that of any one who should follow, consequently the streets are narrow, crooked and short, and the houses for the most part irregular in location, in construction and unsight ly. To remedy this evil in such towns becomes a matter of serious thought by the Mayor and Council, and often a matter of no iuconsidcra ble expense and inconvenience to the inhabitants. As a general rule in laying off new streets, regard is had to the value of the property through which they are to pass as well as to the regularity of the town. When the two conflict it is better always to sacrifice regularity and to preserve the value of the property. If, how ever, the necessities of the town de mand that a new street must be loca Lcd, it should bo done with as little injury to properly as possible, i..)d in every case its full value be paid by the council. The property of a citi zen ought never to be sacrificed to the public good, but full remunera tion ought to be given for the proper ty appropriated. There is no imme diate demand in Orangeburg for a new street beside the one in pioccss of construction, The prolongation Of thai street to the Fair Building will strike loo high up to meet tlic demand, nor coujd it be opened with out very serious damage to the prop erty through which :.t will pass ; hence the belter policy is to abaudon the project until the demand becomes pressing and immediate, which will allow ample time for the property holders to prepare themselves to meet the necessity. There is, however, a very pressing demand for improying the condition of those already located. Besides Russell street, which is al ways crowded with wagons, there is scarcely a respectable drive in town. Washes ere met with in many places and often dangerous to persons travel ing at night. Indeed our streets pre sent more the appearance of country roads badly kept than neat thor oughfares of a live town. If the at tention of the Council could be direct ed to the matter and a reasonable shore of the funds bo appropriated to necessary improvements, greater in ducement would bo offered to pur chasers of lots thau opening new atreete and keeping them in bad re pair. ' ? '';'' 1 Colored Citizens, Beware. Certain parlies, who .arc medita ting a move to Kansas of some other Dioro congenial fcltmato than Orange burg County, arj3 trying to'o.btain tho signatures of flvo hundred colored men to a pledge for the payment of 81 each. It is asserted that the ob ject is to create a fund for the defense of any Radical before the cour.ts who may commit a crime dining th,c cam paign of 1880? Our colored people i certainly will not tako stock in any' such an enterprise. Fraud is plainly written on its face; for tho moment the five hundred dollars are obtained certain colored dignitaries will leave Orangoburg County aud the unfortu nate dupes who have signed the dol lar pledge may whistle for their money. We feel assured that our colored .citizens have learned some lessons from the experience of the last dozen years and hope that one of the lessons is, never to trust a Rad ical carpet-bagger, much Less to put even one dollar into his hands. m ? mm - Webster's Meeting. After the whites had nearly ad left town for the picnic grounds of the Edisto Rifles on the 'Ith of July, run ners were sent among the colored people ordering thorn to attend a Rudical pow-wow to be held near the residence of the Rev. Alonzo Web ster, of New York Tribune notoriety. A goodly number obeyed tho sum mons and a respectable crowd assem bled about a stand erected for the oc casion in rear of the dwelling. S. L. Duncan called the meeting to order and stated that the object was to celebrate the 4th of July in a mass mccling and to discuss the present political questions. He then intro duced 10. W. M. Mackey, who, in bis usual style, addressed his fellow Re publicans, saying that they had met togclher to discuss the present situa tion of the country. The campaign of 1880 will soon be upon us and we must keep our ranks closed up or we will lose the next Presidential dec tion. lie said : "Yon must all come to the polls and cast your ballots, whether the Democrats steal them or not. You all know this ticket" (draw ing a tissue ballot from his pocket.) Some one asked if many of the color ed people voted that ticket? Mackey said: "I don't know whether the}' did or not, but O'Connor saj*s so." Ho wanted all the colored people to turn out manfully at tho next elec tion and promised Lheiu that Grant would be the nest President if he wanted it; if not, then some one like Grant, or of his style. He also said that the Democrats wanted him to leave the state, but he would not un til the next election was over, the re sult of which would decide his course of conduct. The next speaker introduced was Rev. Alonzo Webster, who lead his letter published in the New York Tribune aud made a speech, all the same time. He said he had traveled all over the Stute and the conduct of the memberr of his conferences prov ed his letter to be true, for many of them could not attend conference be cause the Democrats said furLhcr em ployment would not be given to these who should attend. He wanted all in attendance at the meeting to stick, to the parly, and assured them that they would finally obtain their freed om and be able to enjoy it too. The next election would not be like the last, for be was sure at some of the polls there were one hundred and fifty votes, and only two white men voted. At such polls the colored people were entitled to the majority, but were only allowed four or five votes. He also said the same crowd ot Demo crats voted four or five times a day. If the statement in bis letter about the colored people getting nothing for their labor is not true, he could prove it by showing a piece of money that wa& issued by one Mr. Bishon to pay off his hands, and not due for col lection until I88fj. He said further that be had done more for Hie bene fit of the colored people than any other man in tho county, Referring to Cluflin Univei8ity, he said be, through his influence, had paid over $2,000 and now it was occupied byj another who gave him no credit for' the same, In fact, he did not wish them to give him any credit, The next speaker was D. A, Stra kcr, who said the Pcmocrats had promised many things but did not fulllll one promise. First, thpy had promised schools, but have had them opened only two months, and if they did not get a better showing, the col ored people would leave the Stale. His speech yyas conservative but he was radical in his resolutions, The next speaker was Georgo Roli vcr, who, in a quiet way and smiling manner, said he had been invited to the Jmh trap, but there was so many traps for him until he was tired of trapping. He hoped the people would go home and go quietly, for there .. . ? j. . .? j . r , ^ ,..,-!?-r^E-jya??^!,_ were many at the meeting who had no.corn in their corn houses, but de fended on tho corn house of some one else. Ho wanted all. while they Remained here, to live friendly with their white fellow men. He had been watching things for some time, and the current in iuuny Tcspects has changed during tho last few years from what it once was. Ho had not come to make a political speech, but siivdy to give tho coloied people gOou advice, if they would take it. He advised them to try to become independent, and if Ihcy did not like the present situation, they could go elsewhere. The next speaker introduced was Rev. Gooscly, who stated that he was from -Canada, had lived there many years, and on tho first of next October would loave for Kansas. If any one wanted to go to thnt State he could be communicated with through Dr. Webster or D. A. Strak er and in this way obtain all tho ne cessary information before a decision was had to leave South Carolina. This ended the speaking and the celebration. Taking a bird's eye view of the whole mutter the meeting seemed to be gotten up only and solely in tho interest of Dr. Alonzo Webster, and the burden of the whole discussion was his famous let ter in the New York Tribune. The voters present did not seem to take auy stock in tho meeting, not one leading colored man from the coun try hud a word to say ; nor did they, so far as your reporter knows, ex press a desire to Say auy anything. The spec?h*3 were listened to and re ceived for what they were worth, which was ut a heavy discount upon the old issue of Radical speeches. The colored people arc evidently growing tired of such nonsense, and will have but little more of it, if their wishes are consulted. Now came the tug of war and the din of the battle could be distinctly heard throughout the crowd. Men, women and children wanted to know where the dinner was, but none could tell?not even a scent of hams and chickens could be had from any di rection. Somo said that Webster, Mackey and Boliver were eating it all up. It was given out at every church that Webster was going to give a Fodtth of July dinner and that all hands must come to eat it. When we got here and asked for din ner, behold J tho New York Tribune and Webster's letter is given us in stead which dill not rest very well on hungry storaacks. Tho crowd were very much dissatisfied and many went home mad as wet hens. Resolutions were read ami adopted which could not be had. On motion of Dr. Webster it was resolved that the resolutions be published in the county papeis. Bv-Stande?. What Next! At a meeting of colored people, held at Dr. Webster's grove, and gotten up by him and his friends, on July 4, at which Dr. Webster read his letter recently published iu the New York Tiibuwe, the following preamble and resolutions wore adopted and requested to be forward ed to the Orangcburg Times, New York Tribune and the Ouangebuko Democrat with the request that they be published; Whereas, wc have heard read a let ter written by Dr. Alonzo Webster to the New York Tribune on the sub ject of emigration of the colored peo ple from this State in which are stat ed our feelings on this question as well as many of the causes that have induced us to entertain our present sentiment on this subject. Resolved First, That we, the colored people, in mass uiceting assembled, indorse the sentiments expressed in said let ter as the just and correct sentiments of the colored people of Orangeburg County. Second, That we recognize Dr. Webster as our friend and faithful worker in the ministry of the gospel amongst us?as one who in tho past as in the present h$s interested him self in our spiritual welfare upd in our moral, civil apd educational in terests, without regard to his person si comfort und convenience, und us one who is not double-faced nor a seeker of Southern popularity at the expense of our rights and privileges as citizens. Third, That we look upon Dr. Webster as a well wisher of the Southern people, black and while, a sentiment he bus often expressed by words and emphasized by deeds, and wc heartily approve of his courage in defending our rights (and censuring our wrong-doers, and regard such acts as no just cause for unjust cen sure or criticism. Fourth. That wc readily confess that there are many white persons in jour midst who earnestly desire our welfare and the establishment of penco and harmony among tho races, und advocate adequate compensation for our labor, but that they are com paratively so few as to be unable to do any good and are subject to per sonal ostracism in their business and social liyjng, should they dare to ex press their opinions in our helmlf. ? ?>? > ? ? ?? ??-"i-- .? . .. - fc" DCV Fifth. That we aro not satisfied with the wages paid for our labor, aud the frequent unjust dealings of many of those from whom we have to buy or j;cnt lands, or purchase goods to enable us to mal^e our crops ; in tb?t we are charged extrav ngaut prices for such goods as wo need and at the close of tho year arc left nothing to better our condition. Sixth, That this condition of af fairs as at present exist is not calcu lated to inspire us w.itb confidence in thosu whoprofe8S to be our friends aud urge us to stay with them, bot calculated to turn our eyes to some pluces where justice may be obtained, labor respected and rights secured.
