dering." for in it via re;5iee In TIE hope
that the stsr of our redemption has
arisen il the Eastern horizon and is
shedding eleams of light. which are
bright and clear to the dullest vision.
The white people certainly will aot
allow this opportunity to pass uuim
proved. Immigration We want and
must have; Otherwise. We shall be for
ever undone before the lapse OF ten
years-carpet-baggers and so;siawsgs in
cluded-so far as the government of
South Carolina ie concerned We need
not tell tho white people whittier We aro
drifting under the present majority rule.
Our doom is being fixed as fast as the
wheels Of time roll us OH, and o,n only
be averted by placing sufficient num-
Der OF white men in each County to out
number the blacks. so as to place the
government OF South Carolina in good,
honest hands. We are plain. aud we
speak plain. It has come to this, and
we had rs we'll face the music.
Immigration is the only peaceble
means by which We can be saved, and
while the whites own more than half the
lands OF the State. it is in their power
to secure this immigration; but 30 soon
as the blacks own more than half the
lands, tho opportunity or power to save
ourselves will be gone forever. The
venality OF the Legislature and Govern
ment, since the advent OF the famous
Scott, has known no bounds, aud the
extra session just closed has completely
covered itself with shame and infamy;
and does any one hope for any changes
for the better. SO long as the present
complexion remains. as it does. so largely
in the majority? We answer no. Mr..
Rainey SAID thry like to luy on tho taxes,
so as to make lnnd chenp; and they will
eventually make it so cheap that tho
white man will lose oil his land for taxes
and which will be taken possession of
by the black man. We say, then, white
people of South Carolina, organize an
immigration society at once in each County

(which Is immense in some sections of
the State) into fifty acre tracts. and offer
them to good immigrants on easy aod
accom- modating terms. Say to Rev.
Mr.. Nsumann that we desire and sorely
need at least 100000 more population
and to send them on, and, il needs be.
let III furnish money and means 10 help
them on here. Merchants and all pro-
fessional men. organize at once. Your
aid and influence is greatly in need in
this the opp0rtune hour of your State 8
deliverance. You, as general thing,
and justly 80. too, are regarded as honor
able and intelligent men, ani your
power and influence is almost unlimited,
and, if necessary. take the iniatory step
in this great work of redemption. It is
you that ought to first see the dangers
ahead, and it is you that should warn
those less informed and invite them to
unite with you for yours and their re.

tance. We invite every newspaper man
in the State, who desires our redemp-
tion, to do his utmost to bring this
great subject before the people iu it's
true light. This is a matter Of life ana
death DM as. WHITE MAN.
