forests of the State-the white men-the
Democrats, so called, Of South Carolina.

SPEECH OF WILLIAM SToRRS.
He said he sympathizcd with the colored
man fen degrees more than he did the white
nan. Why? Because the black man was
IGNORANT; and he hated the Radical be-
ca!,c he WAS ten degrees meaner than the
mcaue.t negro. Time was when the colored
reo!,e Of the State lived as well as the
white people. They were happy and con-
tented They were industrious, and they
would he 50 now if the State had not been
ayerrln by carpct-bag men, who put all
.gr;. Of notions into their heads, and Gre
atci executions that never could be full
s.!rl. The time was coming when this class
would be :yuud out. The colored people OF
the up-ccuntry were already beginning to
learn their character, and at the coming
elections he hoped they would show by
their votes that they trusted once more IN
their own people. What preposterous
idea, what shameful thought it was, that
the colored men Of South Carolina sup
ported carpct-baggers who had been the
means Of DISTINGUISHING one-half of the
hes; citizens OF the State. For one, he was
thankful that when he went to the ballot
ho1 no ignorant scalawag could say, igno-
rant as he might be, that he should not de-
post h- vote.
BIZ said he was in favor of qualified
suffrage that would apply to all men. The
Aea Of political equality to every man was
Is d!stastetul Ms the idea Of social equality,
and Heaven knew there were plenty OF
mean white men he would never ask to his
table. The time might never arrive when
ia.s condition Of things would be brought
about, hut the more the colored man learned
wappreclate the difference between educa-
lion and ignorance, the more would he him
SET demand that those below him in the
''aLe Of intelligence and industry should
10; ENJOY the same privileges as the man
"Ao had studied and labored to achieve
education and property.
