am black republican but you do not
know, you can not imagine how my heart
Dleeds, to see you and your orthodox pro-
slavery friends cooperating with Garrison,
and Phillips, and Smith, to verify their pro,
phetlcal representations My dear friend,
Chestnut, hOhnObbng with Garrison, and Phil
lips, and Smith, to abolish slavery in South
Carolina Tell it not in Bath publish it not
IN the streets OF Boston.
But were you not little hasty in resigning
your territorial honors Only think of $1,000
year, besides pickings and stealings But,
friend Chestnut, we are sorry Tor you. When
we think o. poor South Carolina, our eyes
water; they become encrusted with salt Poor
Socth Carolina, poor in population, poor in
poverty, poor in reputation and poorest Of all
in craftsmanship. Why, in 1885, the great
men Of South Carolina gave dignity even to
treason. But Calhoun is gone, and Hayne is
gone-and Chestnut is lett You are not to
blame for it Higher Power has taken away
Calhoun and Hayne, and left Chestnut. Pity
It's, It's so; but [ say again, you ought not to

L see that your merchants refuse to pay
northern claims that is right-that is, if any

chants who have been driving a heavy trade
in packing up their principles along with their
dry goods. But you, also, refuse to receive

for yod; but there are hundreds of palmetto
scons who are not as able as you are to lose
their places and their pay. And then there

the foreign intercourse, besides rewards for
runaway negroes, and pensions to the retiring
teleral otficers-all these will cost something !;
and unless you will give yourself little while
to the vulgar business Of counting the cost
