We publish by request a set of res olutions passed by the Webster meet i ig on Friday last, purporting to be an endorsement of the sentiment cx ? pressed in the Tribune letter, but in .reality ,iu nothing more than a rcpeti lion of lite ideas?the same old meat .hashed over. Ry 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 -iCrest taken in the meeting by the ".voters"1 of the county present. Moreover it ie asserted in Resolution "1, that the Tribune letter expressed 'the "just arid correct sentiments of j,he colored people of Orangehurg County ;" yet there was pot one-tenth tif .Ike colored people of the county in 'Attendance. At tho highest estimate liiere was not more than a few Jmn 'ilred of lean and hungry' incn, women 'and children enticed by promises Ajirongh the pulpit of a "4th of July diuoer." Resolution 2, recognizes Dr. Web ster as *la friend and faithful worker in the ministry of the Gospel." Dr. Webster on every conveuicrjt.occasion muk?s politics with his Gospel, wheth er it be by bis epistolary correspond* Voce, conversation around the family t-irclu Or clh>rJ.s in fhc pulpit. This ' vJas not the manner of .Christ or auy ol his Taithful apostles. No man ujani 'firsfrf Iiis educational interest for a j 'people by'making every opposition to rl:he 'success of the only institution of j learning of a high gra'd.o in ,lbc State: lof'lhc colored race, ?uch h is been ids iel'.v?on to C^a/lin University und '.l)r'.' 'CoVike, and the institution has *1 e'en'iiijdr'ed more or less by it. Such 'conduct' makes him anything else but 'administer, and stamps him as the pvfoce of the "Double-laced" nobility. Resolution -3, looks upon him ns ".1 well wisher of the Southern peo ple, VilUck and white." J[ .there ever fwas a man whose life has been a poi Wii to a people, whose influence has 1>6en pregnant o/ evij, and whose 'Writings have kept alive the preju dices of race and tho haired founded Vb lite 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 I thinking, inelead of adapting himself | to theirs. Resolution -1 asserts that thero are .comparatively few white persons who ''advocate adequate conq ensation for our labor, ami those few are subject yy p/'j ^onn) ostracism in their busi rush y;ul aocial Jiving." Leaving Dr. ^Vbster and bis kind onto/ the ques tion, because it is commonly said be will take advantage of colored labor ers in the payment of wages,-we wouhl ask that individual casce of .ostracism lie specified and that the white men who refuse adequate com pensation to colored laborers be named ; a simple denial is worthless ; we want facts and their proof. Let us have them. ?Resolution 5, says the colored peo ple are not satisfied'with tho wages 'paid for their labor, price of re#ls Itihd of goods they purchase on credit. We know that the price paid for la )jor is low, but there is no discrimi nation made between white and black |aborcrs. This is a matter to be reg nluted exclusively by the laws of sup ply and demand, and not by legisla iion 'And combination. The same may V'soi'd' i'il reference to the purchase of suppljep and rent of lands. ' The last resolution sets forth mild ly that this condition of affairs is not Calculated 'to'Inspire Hie confidence of the colored people in those who profess to bo friends aud urge ihem: to stay hero. The whites desire the confidcuco of the blacks und we bo lievo they have }t ,in every thing but politics, wo believe they are friends to each oilier and hnvo lived In har mony and peace ever since J87G, when the Democracy obtained control of the 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, Liberia or eiaewhere let jthem go, and go in peace. Every I man is entitled in this .country to go and come as he pleases, provided ^ic does so as tho law directs. The whites arc not and never wero de pendent on the colored people, and any such idea entertained by them will prove ruinous to their race as! well as lo their material prosperity. To sum up the whole matter, this so-called mass mooting was called and these resolutions written in the interest of Mr. Webster, anil adopted as resolutions usually are by the vote of half-dozen persons as an off-set to the reply of a committee oT white citizens to his Tribune letter. The influence of this meeting will reach tho Northern mind as Dr. Webster designs, and will probably catch the Northern ear, because they will be lieve the meeting to have becu a grand mass meeting of all tho color ed citizens, instead of a few hundred hungry men, women and children, who eared 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 wc would desire a different state of affairs, but can nev er hope for a change so long as Dr. Webster ami his sympathizers per sist in agitating old prejudices and giving circulation tn individual re ports rather than the true stale of affairs as they ought to find them ex isting. Dr. Webster's professed sphere is religiou, not polities, aud 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 beat conduce to the beauty of the place and the conven ience of the inhabitants in the aggre gate ; but our older towns, like Or angebiirg, 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, aud often a matter of no inconsidera 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 tbrough which they are to puss as well as to the regularity of the town. When the two conflict it is better always to sacrilico regularity and a to preserve the value of the property. If, how ever, the necessities of the town de mand that a new street must be loca ted, it should bo done with us little injury to property as possible, and 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. Thcro is no imme diate demand in Orangeburg for a new 6treet beside the one in piocess of construction. The prolongation *>f that street to the Fair Building will strike loo high up to meet the demand, nor could it be opened with out very serious damage to the prop erty through which it will pass ; hence the belter policy is to abandon 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 imprcying the condition of those already located. Besides Russell street, which is al ways crowded with wagons, there is scarcely a rospectabje drive in town. Washes are met with iu 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 share of the funds bo appropriate*} to I necessary improvements, greater in ducement would bo offered to pur* chasers of lots than opening new streets and keeping them in bad re pair. '"' 1 ' Colored Citizens, Beware. Certnfn parties, who are medita ting a move '.o Kansas of some other more congenial climate than Orange burg County, arc frying to pbtain the signatures of five hundred colored men to a pledge for the payment of 81 each. It is assorted that the ob ject is to create a fund for the dofense of any Radical before the coui.ts who may commit a crime during th,e cam. paign of 1880T Our colored people certainly will not take stock in any such un enterprise. Fraud is plaiuly written on its face; for tho moment the five hundred dollars arc obtained certain colored dignitaries will leave Orangehurg County aud the untortu natc dupes who have signed the dol lar pledge may whistle for their money. Wo Joel assured that our colored .citizens bavo learned some lcssouB.from the experience of the lust dozen years and hope that one of the lessone is, never to trust a Rad ical carpet-bagger, much Less to put even one dollar into his bauds. Webster's Meeting. After the whites had nearly ail left tewn for the picnic grounds of the Edisto Rifles on the 4th of July, run ners were sent among the colored people, ordering them to attend a Radical pow-wow to bo huld near the residence of the Rev. Alouzo Web ster, of New York Tribune notoriety. A goodly number obeyed tho sum mons and a respectable crowd assem bled about a stand erected lor 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 meeting and to discuss the present political questions. He then intro duced E. W. M. Mucke}-, who, in his usual style, addressed his fellow Re publicans, saying that they had met together 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 elec lion, lie said : "You must all come to the polls and cast your ballots, whether the Democrats steal them or not. You alj know this ticket" (draw ing a tissue ballot from his pocket.) Someone asked if many of the color ed people voted that ticket? Mackcy said : 441 don't know whether they did or not, but O'Connor saj's so." He wanted all the colored people to turn out manfully at the next elec tion aud promised them that Grant would be the next President if he wanted it; if not, then some cue like Grant, or of his style. He also said that- ihn Democrats wanted him Ko 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 Stutc and the conduct of the mcmberr of his conferences prov ed his letter to be true, for many of them COldd nol attend conference be cause the Democrats said further em ployment would not be given to these who should attend. He wanted all in attendance nt 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 he was sure at some of the polls there were one hundred and fifty votes, and only two whije men voted. At such polls the colored people were entitled to the majority, but were only allowed four or five voles. He also said the same crowd ot Demo crats voted four or five times a day. If the statement in his letter about the colored pcoplo getting nothing for their labor is not true, he could prove it by showing a piece of money that was issued by oue Mr. Bisbou to pay ofT Ids hands, and not dim for col lection until 1885. He said further that he had done more for the bene fit of the colored people than any other man in tho county.. tyefcrring to Clullin Univcisity, he said he, through his influence, had paid over $2,000 and now it was occupied by another who gave him no credit forj thp same. In fact, he did not wish! them to give him ajjy credit. The next speaker was D. A.. Stra-J kcr, who .said the Pcmocrats had promised many things but did ju_>l j fulfill one promise. First, they hail! promised schools, but have had them | opened only two months, and if tljey did pot get a better showing, the col ored people would leave the Stale. His speech yvas conservative but he war. radical in his resolutions. ^he next speaker was George Boli ver, who, in a quiet way and smiling manner, said he had been invited to the fish trap, but tlmro was so many traps for him until he was tired of trapping. He hoped the people would go homo and go quietly, for there 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 lime, and the current iu niuny Tcspccts has changed during tho last few years from what it once was. Ho had not come to make a political speech, but simply to give tho coloied people good advice- if they would take it. He advised them to try to become independent, and if they 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 the flrst of next October would leave for Kanau?. if any one wanted to go to that State he could be communicated with through Dr. Webster or D. A. Strak er aud 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 matter the meeting seemed to be gotten up onlj- and solely in the interest of Dr. Alonzo Webster, and tho burden of the whole discussion was his famous let ter in the New York Tribune. The voters present did not seem to take any stock in the meeting, not one leading colored man from the coun try had a word to say ; no* did they, so far as your reporter knows, ex press a desire to say any anything. Tho speeches 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 tho battle could bo distinctly heard throughout the crowd. Men, women and children wanted to know where the dthner was, but none could tell?not even a scent of hums and chickens could be had from any di rection. Somo said that Webster, Mackey and Boliver wero eating it all up. It was given out at every church that Webster was going to give a Foilrth 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 did not rest very well on hungry storaacks. Tho crowd were very much dissatisfied and many went home mad as wet hens. Resolutions wero rend und adopted which could not bo had. On motion of Dr. Webster it was resolved that the resolutions he published in the county papeis. By-Standeu; Whst 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 publislted in the New York Tribune, Uta following preamble and resolutions were adopted and requested to be forward ed to tho Qrangeburg Times, New York Tribune and the Ouanukbuuo Democrat with the request that they be published; Whereas, we 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 arc stat ed our feelings on this question as well as many of tho causes that have induced us to entertain our present sentiment on this subject. Resolved First, That we, the colored people, in mass meeting 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 tho ministry of the gospel amongst us?as one who in tho past as in the present has interested him self in our spiritual welfare and in our moral, civil and educational in terests, without regard to his person al comfort and convenience, und as one who is not double-faced nor a seeker of Southern popularity at the | expense of our rights and privileges a3 citizens. Third, That we look upon Dr.1 Webster as a well wisher of the Southern people, black and white, a sentiment he has ofteu expressed by words and emphasized by deeds, and we 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 we readily confess l)iat there are muny white persons in our midst who earnestly desire our \yelfaro and tho establishment of peace and harmony among tho races, and 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 behalf. Fifth. That wo aro not satisfied with the wages paid for our labor, and tho frequent unjust dealings of many of those from whom wo bjvve to buy or j^nt lands, or purchase goods to enable us to mak> our [crops ; in Unit we are charged extrav agant prices for such goods us we need and at tho close of tho year ore left nothing to bettor our condition. Sixth, That this condition of af fairs as at present exist is not calcu lated to inspire us w,Ub conQdence I in those who profess to be our friends I and urge us to stay with them, bnt calculated to turn our eyes to some places whero justice may bo obtained, labor respected and rights secured.
