Gus condition, and our legislators
most unreasonably lavish. Nor
do [ see that anything has been
done to alleviate the condition of
our laboring classes. Our legisla-
tors seem to have been too igno-
rant to know that when the in-
dustry and prosperity Of coun-
try is disturbed, it is always the
poorer classes who suffer most.
Their action has generally been
such as to prevent a return to q
state of peace and quiet, and to
foment the bitter feelings hereto
fore existing. This course may
prove beneficial to certain corrupt
demagogue politicians, who can
hope to remain above the surface
only in times Of excitement, but it
will certainly prove most calami-
tous to our poorer classes, whom
they pretend specially to repre-
sent.
When some Of US united with
the newly formed Republican par
ty in South Carolina it was because
we were convinced that both JUS
ticc and good policy required the
civil and political equality Of all
classes. Justice required it to en-
able the colorcd people to defend
their rights at the ballot box
Good required it to put an end to
the conflict with the National
Government. This idea Of civil
and political equality was and is
still the fundamental principle Of
the Republican party, and is as
fully endorsed by me to-day as
when I first united with the party
in South Carolina. But while I
have seen no reason to change my
views on this fundamental prjnci-
pie, | admit that | have at least
been more wildly impressed at
the facility with which corrupt,
ignorant SG1-seeNIns adVen1urers
can control a mass of ignorant 7o-
ters unaccustomoo TO Political iile'
NO one can rcsfet more sincere
ly than I do that the Republican
party and the State Government
