A Speech for the Times.

At a recent meeting in New Granada, South
America, gentlemen, some time resident in
the United States, expressed the hope that the
adoption Of American institutions would place
Colombia on level with the great Republic
ofNorth America. lie was summarily squclcl,-
CT. by the following speech from ful, recon
structed Colombian. We quote from the
Panama Star:
Mr.. Hrsdicm:-In proposing ti,:t we should
adopt North American institutions, in orGss.r
that we may rank amongst the most civilized
nations Of the Of the world, our friend is moro
ly repeating n vulgarisln against which 1 do
most solemnly protest. We arc represented MS
an uncivilizcd people; but, sir, if to do what
the Americans have done is to be civilized.
then, we arc civilized; tito have done it before
them is to be ahead Of them, then wo arc at
tho head Of civilization. For what do tho
Americans boast Of? They have but recently
abolished slavery, VIC have abolished slave
ry long ago. They have just proclaimed
the equality of races and arc trying to hold
up the negro; We have proclaimed that
equality and hcll up the negro long ago
They have only finished their first civil war.
soadoGea :ioiioy scarce, aud mado paper dol
lar notsworth dollar. We have had dozens
of civil wars; have rendered money scarce, and
made paper dollars not worth dollar long ago.

Local Politics..

The great waves of the political storm which
is disturbing the public, are indicated in our
quiet country ncighborhoods bylighter ripplcs,
but all suggestive Of tho agitation of tho times.
We find in our exchanges indications of this,
i'll calls for public meetings, notices for the for
nation Of Democratic clubs, and in tho an
nounccment of ring.streaked and striped con-
grcgations and councils.
Amid these pcrturbntions, Orangeburg is not
in State of complete placidity. On Monday
last, our town was throngcd with darkeys, who
had been summoned together to deliberate
upon the important issues of the day, and VIC
understantlothat tluir ead-Sachcms, finding
that they could not carry their party nomina-
tions through without meeting serious opposi-
ton, very sagcly concluded to postpone the
business until, they could get everything ''cut
and dried" To-day the Ethiop ttrong arc to
re-asscmble: and arc to receive their ten com
llOtu tilc SUEulilS VI Tic hdQlCal
ISinai; and we venture the prediction, that the
secret conclave will DC endorsed by the igno-
rant throng, who fundly imagine they arc rul-
ing the country, while they are being led by
thc nose by designing politicians.
WE insert in our present issue, call upon
tho citizens of ST. Matthew'S Parish To nlcptlnt
the Club House for the formation ola Demo.
cratic Club While sympathizihg il, toto with
the principles which are announced in this
call, we cannot see what benefit can be derived
from such an organization We are absolutely
opposcd to any participation by the decent peo-
ple of the country, in the clectons, unless there
be some prospect of success Knowing as VIC
do, that the whole machinery of the ballot-box
is now worked by system, which will ensure
the defeat of any Conservative ticket, We
scc no use in wasting our time and energy in
the matter We think the policy of the white
people of the country, is to abstain from politics
for the present We have done harm by every
active movement we have made since the war.
1t was mistake to ratity by the action of shc
Convention Of 1865, the issues of the war. 1t
was mistake to repeal the Ordinance of Scces-
sion, and to abolish Slavery, by vote of the
people. These questions were settled by arms,
and should have remained under that arbitra-
lncnt. We have never moved Alright at the
right time, and we had better let public matters
take care of themselves; for We are ccrtainl,
powcrlcss to take care Of them
