The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1868-11-11


Of the tbrty-nne thousand Africans imported during
these years into Charleston, the people of South Caro-
lima imported only two thousand and six. Great Brit
ain imported and sold to nine thousand and six hun
dred of the thirty thousand slaves. Rhode Island,

Lightweight of her rusty natives consignees Of her
cargoes. Now let it be recoccted, that this long
after the Constitution was in full operation in 1880,
and just before the entire prohibition Of the African
slave trade took place in $685. by the Constitution
When the United States Constitution made, in
ll7S7 South Carolina had already prohibited theimpor
tation of slaves from any quarter into the State.
The zeal for the African with these people then
exactly what it is now-an affair of interest. Then,
they went to Arica-took the negro from his country
brought him here and sold him to us. They made
money by the operation.
After selling the negroes into slavery at the South
for money they found it their interest during the
to cripple the Southern people by proelaming the
groes free And, since the close Of the war; the Rad
cas have found it their interest to use the black man
against the white at the South. Their motive is
to keep the Radical party in power, administer the
Government aud continue to reap the spos of office
and handle the pelQuiSites Of the wholesale public
plumber.
If they can succeed in saving the Radical party by
the reconstruction laws and negro supremacy at the
South they will have accomplished their prime object.
The ultimate effect upon the negroes they do not
trouble themselves about
In this cruel enterprise they have already killed one
fourth of all the negroes in the Southern Staesmore
than all the whites who persisted in the war 81
And now they are busy sending enissares all over
the South to array the black against the white popua-
ton, with the certain knowledge that if their efforts
succeed, they getting up OF races which will
inevitably end i'll the utter destruction and extirpaon
of the poor negro from this continent.
They edeluCe him with the idea that they will make
him the equal of the white man; that they will make
him rule the white man that they will take away the
lands and houses of the white man and give them to
him. In the United States in 1860 there were 81
o03 500 whites to I, 449, 593 coored. Now there are
So GOO o00 whites to 3,000,G0o colored. Excepting
in States of the thirteen Southern States the white
population is greater than the black, and in these two
States the are becoming rapidly equalised from
death. Ia the thirteen Southern States there S0o0
000 Of whites to 100000 of blacks The attempt to
rule the white population by the black in any of these
States is tie most wicked and cruel nonsense-too
cruel to be attempted by any people but those who
attempting it. Will the black race have intelligence
enough to through the designs of these Radical
friends OF theirs, and strive to live in harmony with
those who have with them common country and Il
common destiny. Their voting will show.
