In this communication. Perhaps / may

one. desire to lay before your readers
to-day a few remarks (Which may differ
with the NEWS as conducted while
hack on the Chinese immigration aues-
tiou My opinion is, that the colorcd
element never can be brought to affiliate
with tue old democratic party and it's
leaders in politics. That there is n
hcnvy Conservative pressure in the minds
of our colored populations l have no
doubt, and if the whites will come for
ward maniully and take the colorcd man
by tho hand, and show to him by his
actions that he is indeed interested in his
welfare. and is willing to give him all
his rights in the law, the colorcd man
will go with them with zest. Or
at least sufficient numbci of them to
carry the election in 1870. The colorc,l
farm hands know well enough that they
are directly interested in the welfare of
the white planter. But it has been
preached to them thoroughly, that with
out their aid, the white planter would
have to abandon his fields. That with
out his aid no cotton or corn could be
made in the County. Aud these Radi-
cal suckers hold before them the failure
of the threat made in 1868, that no
Radical would be employed on our plan
tatioDs,
Now, sir, let the whites of our County
tell the colored yater that next to his
own interest he has his wclfaSe ut heart.
that he will employ him In preference to
any other labor, but if he still insists in
working against the interest oc those on
whom he is dependent, that other labor
will be sought for, and they will in
few years be superseded by the Chinese.
| learn, Mr.. Editor that fifteen thousand
Chinese, farm hands, arc now on their
way to cultivate cot,nn in the great Mis-
sissippi Valley. They will as matter
of course, take the place of fifteen thou
sand colored hands-for one trait of the
Chinese lnborer is, that hc will not work
with cUlorcd man. An average sub
scription Of twelve dollars aud tifty cents
for each white voter in Orangcbure
County will bring two thousand Chinese
laborers into our County-and which
will be paid back in labor the first year.
Two thousand Cinnamon here would
throw out Of employment two thousand
colored hands. These colored hands
would, as u matter of course, havo to
seek some other section for u livelihood.
and two thousand colored voters thrown
hors de CONDUIT, where would be the
Radical majority in Orangcburg County ?
Echo answers, whore! | am a poor
man, Mr.. Editor. My tax never has
been, heretofore, over six dnllars-I have
just paid ninety dollars tax Tor 1868.
Ii would hayo paid every tax payer in
South Carolina so per cent to have en-
pended two years ago fifty dollars as his
quota for the immigration OF two hundred
thousand Chinese into our beloved old
State. If the colorcd man cannot be
brought 90 his senses any other way-it
will pay the tax payer the same por cent
for their immigration now.
