-
In the South means conflict 81 races, and has
no use for tie Democracy Of the North, except
20 far Is e recognizes this race conflict and the
principles Of the white mans government. The
Republican party placed the thirtcenth, four
tenth ami fifteenth amendments IN the OOusti-
tuition, and e bound BY its allegiance 70 the
Constitution and to the eternal principles Of the
Declaration Of Independence % preserve and
defend the negro IN the euicymsnt Of his free
dom end Of bis civil and political rights. And
here e presented q great and vital Issue between
the two parties. The Democratic party Is
pledged by its constitution, rs history, aailia-
lions and hopes OF the future to undying hostil-
fly to tbs negro rnce. The Republican party e
pledged, BY ils history, By re sacred principles,
to stand faithfully By me million and half OF
newborn freemep, and must continue TO be IN
the future, as x hasin the past, tne. party Of
liberty, equality, justice and the indissoluble
union Of the States. -. ~ 800 =
ATsoHIEvous INPREssIoN--sIal s..g =
A mlschievous, impression has been cum
ningly made In the South that the President
sympathlzes With the Southern Democracy
upon the subject Of civil rights, and will differ
With Northern Republicans upon that question,
and this impression emboldens the. movement
against the negroes which e growing IN the
South day By day. For this impression know
Of no foundation. No word or &C. OF the Presi-
dent has given Il countenance. In his Deeem-
Der message he expressly recommended t'the
enactment Of law 70 better secure the eiyil
rights which freedom should secure, but has
not ettecsually secured, 70 the enfrapchised
eestion that the President VIII prove false 70
the principles Of the Republican party.
WHO IS REsPoNsIBLHi
For the corruptions and disorders existing
IN the State government OF South Carolina
have no apology to make, nor has the Rspub-
llcan party. While these have been exagger-
sted an hundred fold, there Il too much truth
in them, but they are not political, and are the
natural outgroWth Of the condition Of the
State and Of socigty IS they emerged from the
rebellion. In The frauds and populations
Democrats have had their fun participation,
and the Republican party of-the United States
have no other responsibility than this: That
they prevented the dissolution Of the Union,
abolished slavery, clothed the negroes with
civil and political rights, and gave them an
equal participation with their late masters In
| the reconstruction Of the State government
which had been destroyed BY the rebellion.
For the mental and moral condition OF the ne
I groes the old slaye-holding Democracy Is re-
| sponsible, and for the fact that the negroes
have an equal right to liberty and TO voice in
the governments by which they are controlled,
the responsibility must be traced directly to
the great Creator Of US ali, who IN his Holy
Word, and throughous hts works, has pro-
claimed the equal humanity, rights and i'm
mortality Of all men. For the rebellion and
all its dresdfd consequences the Democracy,
North and South, are responsible. For the
preservation Of the Union, the abolition Of
slavery, the enfranchisenent Of the negroes
and the reconstruction Of the State govern
ments In the South upon the principles of
liberty and equal rights to all, the Republican
party d proad to take the responsibility
