was u man Of brilliant genius, aud the
record Of his life demonstrates the no
biIity of his soul His slaves were
liberated by will, and the last hours
of his life were passed in making pro
vision for their support, Randolph
was thoroughly acquainted with the
history Of all natiOns-the causes OF
their rise and progress, decline and
ra,I-and there was remarkable una
njnity between Mr., Jefferson and him
self in relation to the subject OF politi.
cal and social equality bcLwiXt differ
ent races OF men under the same gov
eminent. Well and truly did he say,
that
"From the institution Of the Passover to
the latest experience Of man. it will be
found that nc two distinct people can oc-
cupy the same territory, under the same
government, but in the relation OF master
and slave"
The relation Of master and slave be
tween the whites and blacks Of Amori-
ca has Eecn destroyed, Antagonism
exists where all before was harmony.
The negro element is enlisted upon The
side Of corruption and dcspotism and
the day is rapidly approaching when
we must cast out this political Jonah,
or else the ship OF State will sink be
meath the troubled waters.
Yet, we sympathizc with the negro,
The position he occupies is not Of his
selection, He is the sport Of Fortune,
the child of Destiny, For many years
he has been used by the m~onopolists
Of New England as The monkey used
the cats paw, The Embargo measure
Of Jcncrson'5 administration diverted
q vast amount Of caI ital in the Eastern
States from maritime into m~anuIaCtu
ring enterprises. When the Embargo
was removed, the manufacturers pGti
toned Congress to increase the market
price OF their productions by requiring
the importers Of foreign goods to pay
q CcrL2in amount TO the Government
for the privilege Of bringing them to
this country. The petition was grant
ed. The Government was converted
into an engine Of oppression. TO the
manufacturing class it became "a avo
Of life unto life" TO the agricultural
class 50 SAVIOR Of death unto death"
The principle OF protection having
been nice adopted, the monopolists
were relentless in their demands. Ev-
cry concession increased their cupidity.
Gold was the magic wand with which
they swaycd the councils of the nation.
And to day the Federal Government is
like mighty sponge which abSOrbs
the substance Of the Southern an
Western and pours it into the lap Of
the Middle and New England States.
South Carolina realized this fact long
ago, and gathered up the mighty ener
gics Of her soul to beard the lion in his
den. In that contest she was success
full. Protection, as 4 principle, was
abandoned. But never has South Car
DINA been forgiven for breaking up
this band Of lc@alized robbers. They
sworc that they would be revengcd.
Gradually they rcgaincd their hold up
ON the nation, and began, as before, to
drink the nations blood. But know
Ing that the people would be restless
under this operation, unless something
was done to divert their attention, they
introduced and pcrsistcntly agitated
the subject OF slavery. This resulted
in a dissolution of the Union. The
Confederate States Constitution con
tanned a provision prohibiting the i'm
position Of a protective tariff, and cs-
tablishcd tree trade with all the world.
Here, then, was another crisis for the
monopolists. They had every reason
to believe that with this provision in
the Constitution, the Confederate States,
it permitted to depart IN peace, would
become the greatest, wealthiest aud
happicst nation upon the earth, and
the downfall Of monopoly, even in the
Northern States, would be inevitable.
Therefore, the Confederate Govern
mcnt must be destroyed. War was
proclaimed. "Three thousand millions
Of property in the South disappeared
TO rise IN the East as Il great money
power" A stupcndous national debt
was created and although! 1.-THE value
of the money used in purchasing the
bonds Of the United States has been
repaid in interest,"" the bondholdcrs
are determined to have the last dollar
of principal and interest in gold, if the
people have to work and starve a
thousand years 10 pay it. Verify, the
monopolists have been successful in
their unhallowed schemes. And vcri-
", the Federal Government, in build.
ing up the manufacturing class, has
nourlshed n viper in its bosom.
Since the close Of The war New Eng
land has been play ing her old game.
In order to keep public attention away
from the iniquitous tariff system, bank
Ing system, internal improvement sy5
and corruption OF the Admins
generally, she has been contin-
%thrusting the negro question up
us and stirring up turmoil and con.
fusion. 1t was for this purpose that
reconstruction farce was enacted.
lni the ablest men Of the South pre-
from taking seats in Congress.
1t is for this purpose that South Car
Dina and Louisiana have been reduced
o poverty aud degradation. And it is
or this purpose that the Civi! Rights t
Bill so called has recently been passed
" the Senate OF the United States.
