Gy-We clip from an exchange tho pro.
ceedings of a meeting held recently in
Columbia. Soath Carolina:
"CoLuMBl&, s. c., March ls.-Ono of the
most remarkable meetings ever held in Soutl
Carolina took place to-day, the occasion being
celebration by the negroes Of the passage of the
| bill cnfranchisisg the black race. BY invitation.
Gen, Wade Hampton, ex U. s. Senator: W. y. De-
saussurc, Edward Arthur, the Hon. W, j, Tai.
ley, I'd Jas. G. Gibbs addressed the meeting,
also, the Rev. David Picket and Beverly Nash,
both colored. Sentiments were expressed high
ly honorable to both sssidcs. The negroes are
gratified with the spirit of political aifiliation
with which they havcihcen met, and the cti-
zens are cqunlly pleased to find the colorcd meu
iientifel wi.b.ths trle iiqfsres:s' Of the Static.
| Should convention he called, the latter would
| probably nominate and support the best men in
the country, and as declared by Mr.. Nash, will
urge Congress TO repeal the DISTINGUISHING
| clause"
The editor of tho Frederick "Republi-
can" Of a late date in speaking of this
meeting says Twill tho editor of the Free
Press be kind enough to inform us what
he thinks Of Wado Hampton addressing

hood suffrage ? The Palmetto State has
neverl been celebrated for shedding any
light upon benighted mankind. yet we
think there are some people in Maryland
who might learn some wholesome lessons
by watching the progress of reconstruction
in the state that commenced Rebellion"
We have nothing to sag In regard to
the coarse Of General Hampton and others
in addressing an assembly Of freedmen. -
Negro suffrage has been forced upon the
people of South Carolina by the lawless
tyranny of an unprincipleI Congress,
without consulting iu the slightest degree
the wishes of the citizens of that State.
and the issue presented for their decision
was simply this whether they should stand
aloof and permit the negroes to be ca
joled and wheedled. by gang of recently
imported Yankee dcmagogucs into sup
port of the wicked and detestible schemes
of the northern agitstors or whether they
should endeavour to'secure the negro vote
in maintenance Of tho true interests of the
State.
That the negroes would certainly be
allowed to vote was stern. stubborn fact
beyond the power of the white citizens of
the State to prevent. and We certainly do
not blame them for endeavouring to guide
and direct an influence which they wero
thus powerless entirely to prevent.
But what docs the Republican think Of
the course of the negroes on the occasion
referred to ~e are highly gratifed at the
good sense and good feeling which they
displayed. and we would commend them
as examples whom it would profit many
red-moqthed rapting radicals in our midst
to. follow, and We agree perfectly with the
Republican" in thinking that there arc
good many people in Maryland. (amongst
whom we would include our nsighbor
himself "who might learn some whole
some LESSONS" from the good sense and
moderation displayed by their sable breth-
ern.
