law, and denounce and deny that We are endeav-
oring to destroy the government. Cheers.
| Treason rests not in one who would sustain this
government, but in one who would destroy 1t.
You must 20 to the ballot box, vote, and influence
as many as you can to do likewise These carpet
baggers who come among you Will steal ana Dor
row all thew can and thon take up their duds and
leave the place. The Senator for tho short term
is dirty scalawag and renegade, who has been
raised to position, so-called, and was known to
spit down the throat Of one of his negroes to prove
that he was slave Aye, he has time and again
had tho negro chained like base feon, and yet
he has been made Senator by those slaves.
In this connection, Col. HASKELL made strong
and telling appeal to the negroes present, advising
them to trast and con6do in the Southern people
He drew faithful picture of the happiness and
comfort enjoyed by the negroes when in slavery,
and gave them assurance that the men who reared
them and cared for them in those brighter days
would still guarantee them protection FOR lie and
property. With glowing apostrophs to the DEM
ocratic party and al earnest eIhortation to his
hearers to aand firmly together until the waves OF
Radicalism broken, shattered and dispersed,
Col HASKELL concluded amid .he mout cnthusias
tic cheers.
Tho next speaker introduced WAS The Hon.
ARMIsrEAD BURT, of Ahbe7ille, who Uas heartily
received ard warmly applaudcd throughout.
REMARKS OF HON. A. pt-RT.
Laaie, and Gentlemcn Ihaye no words Of burn
| ing eloquence and am weak of speech, but have
warm Carolina heart, always ready and willing
to give word of counsel and cheer. The coun-
try has been seized by rude hands and torn from
ns. We must gather our strength and turn tho
usurpers out. The great object and aim OF this
Radical party is to humble proud people Any
man who would advice the support of the present
government must be slave of slaves. The wo-
men of the country will not allow it. Women
have always proven true to themselves. Wives
should drive any husband away who should so de-
grade her ns TO countenance this rule of tyranny.
Mothers, turn those renegade sons from your pres
ence who would sink the old ship of State into an
| African cesspool.
There are features in the so-called constitution
that are very Objectionable and unbearable No one
who has ever possessed the confidence of his State
can, hold office. BY this thousands of our best
citizens are disqualified but this will not, cannot
last Our friends of the North and West will
strike it out and give us equality and justice
Commissioners have been appointed to buy in all
the lands that may be sold for taxes for the State
so-cellcd, so that it may be divided out among the
negroes. Don't let any white mans land be sold
to pay taxes! You can do it. Before six weeks
there will be storm of enthusiasm that will as
tonish them. I think that concern in Columbia is
ready to break up for insolvency.
we find ourselves standing face to face with a
problem that philosophers and phanthropsts
cannot solve but by the determination of one race
We must adjust it in some FORM peacefully, if pos
sble. This country was discovered by white
men, and owned by white men, and by the help of
heaven shall ever be ruled by white men. Free
dom did not change intellect or morals. We want
friendly relations between the white and colored
races. We cannot have social or political equal-
ty. God has given to each distinct qualities. We
want them 10 improve our agriculture and to till
the soil With the negro the white people desire
amicable civil and kind relations. If broken, it
will be the fault of the colored man. Break not
the relationship. The Radicals desire war of
races. Let me warn you not to commence it. If
it should como your doom, my colored friends,
will be read in that of the Indian. Not even a
grave left. 1t will be the doom of determination.
An inferior race has never yet, in the history of
the world ruled q superior, not even in England
or Spain. trust that you will break up your
Leagues and return to the white man. As l said
before, if collision commences, you will follow
in the path already trod by the Indian. Let us,
in this trying crisis, do our whole duty, AMI pre-
dict the doom Of scalawags and carpet baggers.
Col. JAMES S. CornRAN, of Abberille, was then
introduced, and delivered tolling speech in the
happest style. He announced that he had cause
of quarrel with the Committee of Arrangements,
for not informing him that speech was expected
from him, and also because they had reversed the
order of things by placing skirmisher at the
close of the fight. His effort, however, con-
vincing proof that oflmcs sklful and practiced
skrmishing secured the victory. He said that
there were two modes only Of losing liberty--one
by corruption, the other by violence. By the lat
ter mode was our liberties lost, and this thought
preserves tho honor anu integrity Of o people.
We are now TO fight with ballots the war with the
bullet is ended. Having accepted the result in
good faith, we intend TO be true and devoted in
peace The speaker here compared patriotism or
allegiance to a pebble thrown into stream of wa
tcr-thc circle began at the very centre, and con-
tinued to extend, until it reaches the merge, unless
it met counter wave, when the ripple immedi-
atey returns to the centre. lie advocated peace
full measures strongly, the maintenance of princi-
ple and the establishment of right. In the course
of his remarks, Col. CoTuRAy depicted in pathetic
language the closing scenes at Appomaitox, in
which he participated, and paid just tribute to
that noble old chieftain, Gen. LEE. His remarks
were likewise interperscd with good humor and
appropriate anecdotes, thus displaying the highest
qualities for success popular speaker, by quick
transitions "from grave to gay, from lively TO Sc
vere."
Col. D. WYATT AIKEN, of Abbeville who is the
cnnvasser appointed for this Congressional Dis
trct under resolution of the State Convention,
was the last speaker introduced. His speech was
principally devoted to description of the present
state of affairs, aud his powers of invccive bore
heavily upon Radicalism and its supporters. Some
of his remarks were injudicous We thought, and
