THE EXODUS OF NEGROES FROM SOUTH
CAROLINA-THE REFUGEES IN
PHILADELPHIA,

We alluded some days ago, to the arrival in
Philadelphia Of a large n4mbcr of free colored
families from South Carolina. The inquiries of
ity of the great mass of citizens relative to their
distresses, have induced us to state the causes
which influenced their immigration, and the char
acter of the parties themselves. In 1922, il APP
pears, further emancipation in South Carolina
was forbidden. All Shareholders giving up the
right of ownership thereafter we've obliged to re-
sign their people" to the care of Trustees, who
vOuched for their freedom, paid their personal
taxes, and made legal disposition of their proper
ty. Any number of persons up to twelve nigh;
thus be guardians of the emaucipated, and q tax
receipt, in the free negrO's possession was evil
denee Of his disenthralment.
The panic in South Carolina, consequent upon
the John Brown raid, the disunion of the Democ-
racy, the election of Speaker Pennington, and the
Chicago nominations, was marked in the month of
August last ty stringent legislative enactments
against the free people Of color. Virtually, they
were made slaves. A single man must become
their guardian they were to be entered IN the as
sessmentsaS his aaoes, and must carry about them
certain copper badges. whereupon they were num-
bered. If found without a trustee, they were to
be sold at the block if failing to procure badges
of servitude, to undergo a fine of twenty dollars !;
and if at any time destitute of them, 20 be fined
or imprisoned. No security was thus afforded to
the free man and woman. If their trustee were
avaricious, he could sell them with impunity, and
their property was liable to summary wanton
seizure. They were regarded as slaves by the law
and their fears m~aguided the existing expressions
as iuiria,ory TO a series of outrages eventuatipg 10
their practical thraldom.
Despairing, then, of justice or mercy in the Pal
mstto State, those Of them possessed Of Sufficient

peoYle, and likely to bo influenced by all the en-.
mites Of race and caste. In the agita,ions Of the
future, we cannot tell how rapidly such a class Of
voters would be recruited directly from slavery.
The only safe and true course is TO regard this
as q government Of the white race-extendine
protection of property and person to other races
of men residing among us, but not endowing them
with political franchises or allowing them to
participate in State affairs. We hold that the
white people. of this nation are at perfect liberty
to adopt this policy and there is no injustice in IL
toward the African or Indian races. The whites
established the government, and it is for them to
decide whether other and alien races of men shall
be allowed participation in its control. This is q
serious question Of State policy, the decision Of
which belongs to them alone.
We therefore think that the people of this State
have decided wisely, and at the same time not I'M
justly, in continuing the exclusion Of Negroes
from the suffrage, and we trust the decision ha-
been made by a majority sufficiently emphatic to
prevent the renewal Of the question for many
years.

WHAT WILL PRECEDENT LINCOLN DO1

To The Editor Of he Herald:
We learn upon authority which we cannot cues.
ton, that in an interview recently held with Abra,
ham Lincoln, by a Southern gentleman, the for
mer explicitly stated the following as his future
rule of action if he reached the Presidential chair
That whatever his private opinions were when
he took the oath Of Office, he would recommend no
measure which would IMPAIR the value or security
of the slave property in the South.
That be would never recommend the abolition Of
slavery in the District Of Columbia unless the Leg
islature Of Maryland shall request it.
That the sale and transfer of slaves between
State and State having been a fixed right under
the Constitution, he should not interfere with it.
That the rendition of fugitive slaves should be
enforced by all the power at his command.
That he should consult in his administration the
opinions of the friends of Henry Clay.
These statements come to us in such a shane
that we are inclined to believe them, and if so. our
Southern friends might as well lower their hal
berts and stay in the Union, for Lincoln will prob
ably be the most energetic friend they have had in
the White House for many a long year.
We should not be surprised, therefore, if the
AbolitiOnists found out before long that they had
caught IA Tartar. And more than this, we learn
that in tbs course of a few weeks there will be an
official statement of his views b. the President
elect, which will allay every possible apprehension.

HEGK0 SUFFRAGE VOTED DOWN.

We assume that the proposed amendment to
the Constitution to extend universal suffrage to
negroes has been voted down because, although
endorsed by the Republican party and it's press.
VIC think that many thousand Republicans have
united with Democrats in rejecting it. In the CD
position which we have made to this change in
tue suffrage, we have not been actue,ed by hostili-
ty to those Of the African race. resident among MS
but have simply yielded obedience to what we
leom a sound theory, in respect to the policy OF
the government toward the colored population,
We would extend to these people the most annie
protection of person and property, but We would
withhold from them political control. They are a
separate race, viii b can never a~rlalgamate with
the white race, and must always continue a dis.
tinet and peculiar people. Instead of the ad vance
ment and Civilization IN knowledge, which would
ordinarily occur, they will, as a body, be kept de-
based by constant and perhaps largo accessions
from those of their race 10 slavery at the South.
Under these circumstances, we hold that it
would be exceedingly unwise to enfranchise this
peculiar race with political rights-the right to
vote and hold Office. 1t would not be- simply de.
basing the right of suffrage and rendering it chea-
per than at present, but it would be the creation
of a hostile political element in the States, having
feelings and Interests distinct from the mass Of the

TIE IRREPRFssIBLE CONFLICT IN a
SMALL WAY.

Now that Lincoln is elected, an irrepressibIe
conflict will about the distribution Of
the spoils of Office, the issue being whether
Greedy or Seward shall have the control of the
leaves and fishes in the State of New York. All
Greedy wants for himself is the Postmastersbin .
and he ought to get it, for be and his associates in
the revolutionary organ which they conduct have
done more TO build mp the Republican party and
place 1t in power by the election of Lincoln. than
Seward, Thurlow Weed and all their confraternitv
have ever done. Weed, it appears, has written
several letters to Abe, which have not been an
swered, while Greedy has stood upon hs dignity,
and written none. His chances for favor at Wash
ington are therefore just as good as those of Sew
ard, or his benchman, Thurlow Weed, who will
do their utmost TO deprive bin of the influenza mt
headquarters to which he is 80 Justly entitled. II
will be curious to watch the breaking out, the bro
gress and the finale of the contest for the spoils 10
the bowels of the Republican party in this city
and State. For our part wo are inclined to back
up Greedy as the man who of all Others il the
most deserving of the consideration of old Abe-
Seward has deserved we'll Of his party, but Greelv
lar better. Numerous and hungry are the follow
ers OF both. To them the Custom House. Navv
Yard and local Post Office. at best, would bo onlv
as the five barley loaves and two small fishes for
the multitude who followed Christ till thew vers

the Union should be dissolVed-to ACCOMPLISH
which the Republican party has done so much
half a dozen Custom House officers would be
amply sufficient for the business of the port.

The Israelite, Of this week, contains a vigorous
protest against the Thanksgiving p~roelamations of
Governors of States, which assume that we, the
people Of the United States, are a Christian peo-
Pile. The objections of the editor appear to be not
SO much against the institution of Thanksgiving,
as against thrusting the title of "Christian people"
and The blessings of Christianity" into the proc
lamations' whilst the Constitution expressly for
bids the Government from favoring any form of re-
ligion. The Israelites, who are a pretty large class
OF United States citizens, object to being classed
rs Christians. - Cincinnati Commercial.
