llon. w. Mungcn, of Ohio, lately dcli2cred
in Congress, (and to which am greatly
Indebted for much that Ihaye said,) it is
boldly asserted, on the authority of scionti-
tic men, that tho world docs not afford an
instance of mulatto in the. fifth generation.
Tho hybrid race becomes extinct, after the
fourth generation, unless they have intcr-
mixed with ono or the other Of tho original
races. SO il is with all animals. The mule
does not breed at all. The wolf and iackal
the dog and fox, havo produced hybrids,
which always become extinct in the third
generation. These animals, like tho negro
and white man, were regarded, at ono timo
rs only different varieties Of the same spc.
cies. But experiment shows them to have
boon different creations, as it docs the negro
and white man.
repeat what l have said in n former
article, that have over been thc friend and
protector Of tho Negro through life. This
my former slaves will vouch for me. My
house servants, eight or ten in number,
havo never left nc. and are still living with
me on the same terms they did whilst slaves.
1t is because wish well TO tho negro that
am unwilling to see him placed in false
position. Ho is unfit 10 exercise tho right
of suffrage, and will become the dupc aud
tool of bast and designing men. a war Of
races will sue, and the negro, being the
weaker an les intelligent, will be cxtcrmi:-
mated in such q war. Extinction will be
the result Of this great boon bestowed on
them for tho solo purpose of strengthening
the radical party! General BENJAMIN +.
Butler said to me, eighteen months ago,
that all tho radical party wished was, to
have Impartial suffrage" lie said that
we might declare that no ono should vote,
unless he was q graduate of The South
Carolina College All that tho radicals
then thought of was equality between the
races. Bpt now, they are determined to
have the negro vote, in order toradicalize
the South
In negro convention which sat the
other day, in Columbia. it was claimed that
in the next Presidential election, there
should be placed on tho radical ticket n
negro, either for President or Vice .Prcsi-
dent. IT was contcnded, too, that the lands
should be divided into small farms, so that
each head ofa family might got home
stead. If tho landowners refused this
division. then thoir lands should be taxed so
heavily as to force them to part with them.
There is considerable ingenuity in this
scheme Of contiscatlon. The whites who
vote for convention, TO avoid conliscaton
on the part of.Congress, will find themselves
nicely caught by the negroes in convention.
As have already said. they will find that,
after sacrificing their honor, the rights of
tho State and tho principles of scli.govcrn-
mcnt and constitutional liberty, they have
lost their lands into the bargain. Another
scheme OF the negroes, promulgated in their
recent convention, is to have nothing taxed
but property. This will rooasc, from all
taxes, as they do not own property. Then,
the property Of The State is TO he taxed, to
establish free schools and colleges all over
the State, for the education OF heir children.
without expense 10 tho negroes Again,
they declare in convention, aud havo made
ii part of their platform, that The old nc-
3rocs, and inirm negroes and paupcrs, arc
to be supported hy the property of the
white men, instead of taking care of their
own aged parents and panper Kindred.
In thc twelfth article adopted by this
radical negro convention, they avow openly
their purpose Of DISTINGUISHING all who have
served in tho Confederate army, or aided
and abcttcd the war. They arc disposed to
take step, and q wide one, beyond the
radicals in Congress. The white radicals
have disfranohiscd only those who have fill
cd public offices but the black radicals arc
determined 10 extend it to all who were in
the army, which includes almost the entire
whito population, This will be accomplish
cd in that convention which the white pco-
PIE arc going to vote for--a convention to
disfranchise themselves, coniiscate their
property, and place the State absolutely
under the control Of tho negroes. Was
there ever such folly and madness heard of
before, in tho civilized world? In sack
cloth and ashes, they will have TO repent Of
their stupidity and dishonor.
This negro radical convention further
demands revision of our laws and the
reorganization Of our courts. They, set
of paupers, ignorant and debased, ore to
govern tho State, and The white mon, who
own Nil the property, are 10 pay Inc cxpon,
scs of tho State. They speak of building
railroads No doubt a thousand schemes
will be concoctcd for spending the white
mans money, for tho benefit of the negro,
before they proceed to take it from him by
forcc or fraudulent legislation. Horrible,
most horrible, is tho future Of our poor
State and degraded people. No ono seems
to realize our true situation. II is now as
it was in tho days Of secession. We are
standing, like idiots, on magazine ofpow.
der, flourislling in our hands fire brand,
and laughing ut tho beautiful ring of ribbon
it makes in iiie dark. The explosion will
come, must come, sooner or later, and bring
with it universal death and destruction to
the people and property of the State.
LIZ Iiocillt, Wucfc tHore IL n NATION or
negroes, sent from tho United States, and
where they have formed government, no
whito man is allowed to hold office, or vote
at any election for any office. This is wise
and proper; and they have thought itnoccs.
sary to mako this exclusion for their own
peace snd prosperity. Have not tho white
men tho Same right to exclude the negro
from the right Of suffrage, when thoy know
that tho negroes havoa majority in the
State, and win seize the Government of the
State, ifpermittcd to yo!o?
II is id'e folly to Toll the people of SoutI,
Carolina that capital and Immigrants will
flow into the State, when reconstructed on
tho ,Elaok Republican platform. On the
contrary, as soon MS this negro government
is organized, every dollar of foreign capital
in South Carolina viii be Withdrawn, and
not one cent will como here seeking invest.
mcnt, Norwill any foreigners movc hero
to settle, undor negro rule, and tho confu
sion and disturbance which it will givo rise
to in the State. Mr.. Calhoun predictod,
years ago, that If tho negro was set free,
tho Northern people would insist on his
right of suffrage, and ifallowed, thenegroes
would seize the Government, and the white
people would haye to leayes The Statel He
