WHITrEMORE FLAYED.
What a Republican Colored Minister
has to Say aboat the Rev. Rascal.

The Whittemore canvass is getting lively.
His independent Republican opponent, Cap
tain Dunn, spoke at Kingstree on Monday.
Some of Whittemore's friends replied. Rev.
Samuel w. Hampton, the pastor of the colored
church in that town, spoke next:
He told them that Whittemore had been
tried and had proved faithless to his party;
that he was not tried by Democrats for his
crime, but by shrewd and educated Repubii-
cans, and that they had declared him unfit 10
occupy seat in the American Congress; that
as minister Of the gospel he conceived it 10
be his duty to be o teacher Of morality aud
truth, and that such being his province he
should vote against and use all his
influence to defeat Whittemore; that no
honest man could or would support
him; that the whole people had an inter-
est in this matter. the Democrats as we'll as
Republicans; that the South Carolinians were
a noble, hish-minded, intelligent people, and
that he was one and was proud Of it; that the
black man was being deceived by, the leaders,
that the war was not commenced to free the
negro, but to keep the Union together, and
that Congress had so declared; that II Fort
Sumter had not been fired upon by the South
ern people he and his race would still be in
slavery; that he was aware Of the fact that an

TO THE BDIToR OF THE NEWS.
It was with anxiety that that T, as o foreign
er and citizen, interested in this State,
watched for your journal OF the 7th instant, con-
tanning the anticipated full report of the Com
mittee on immigration, In the convention re-
Gently in session in Charleston.
- After very careful reading Of that report,
am constrained to say the plan submitted will,
In my opinion, fall If not amended. And here
are nay reasons: It Is hard matter to change
the current OF immigration as you now know.
Witness the many failures on record in the
Southern States since the close Of the war. The
wheel must be creased, and after that process
l viii guarantee you it will run swiftly, and
sans plus de trouble. How to grease it?
1t Is absolutely necessary that the passage
money OF the first twenty-five thousand i'm
migrants be advanced, and the way cleared
for their first years support. These $4,000
will be the nucleus about which will collect
In short time Immigrants enough to fill the
State.
The question arises How to raise sum ad-
equate to meet such an outlay? Let us follow
the plan suggested by the Committee on I'm
migration, and form that stock company.
Inasmuch as the proportion Ofland subscribed
will doubtless largely preponderate over that
in money, mortgage the land for the immi-
grants on i've years time, drawing eight per
cent. interest. There Is not an Immigrant who
will refuse to give eight per cent. interest on
the money which paid his passage and helped
him to start in his adopted country.
Now let US 60 to figures. One hundred
thousand acres of land will amply suffice to
the TWENTY-FIVE thousand immigrants, allow
ing to a head of each family, say of ten,
forty acres. By mortgage one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars can be raised, at an
interest of eight per centum. AS you perceive,
twelve Thousand dollars interest will be the
sole amount to be paid by the twenty thousand
immigrants. This amounts to but forty eight
cents per capita. EUROPEAN.
