CONGRESSMAN WALLACE.

We last week published card from Hon.
A. S. Wallace, in denial of the charge pre-
ferred against him, that in speech at Cow
deysville, several weeks ago, he advised the
negroes that if they failed to secure their
rights at the ballot.box they must resort to
the cartridge.box. Mr.. Wallace, it will be
remembered, in his card of denial, quotes the
words he says he used ON the occasion, which
he comedies were misunderstood or miscon-
strued by number of his hearers. Since
the publication of his card, we find in the
Union Times the following certificate, which
we republish in justice to all parties concerned
UNION COUNTY, August 10, 1874.
This is to certify that we, the undersigned,
did hear A. S. Wallace, of York county, S.
c., now member of Congress from this Con-
gressional District, in speech at Cowboys
vile, in this county, on the 18th ult., make
use of the following language to the negroes
there assembled, viz: Your rights are in
peril and you must defend them IF you
don't get them at the ballot boz, you must resort
TO the cartridge bor." If necessary, we will
make oath to the same.

Iheard A. S. Wallace, M. c., in speech
to some colored mel at Gowdeysville, on the
18th ultimo, use this language: "Your rights
are imperilled, you must rally to the ballot
bor-if needs be to the cartridge box" My
recollection is that these were his precise
words, and that he used the word rally instead
of "resort to" as understood by other gentle.
men. AS he pronounced the last words Of
the sentence he turned to group of white
men with smile and look Of devilish defiance
peculiar to A. S. Wallace. l am willing to
be sworn to the above statement.

THE Y0RKVHGhE UfRER.

After all, however, our relief depends most.
ly upon our own people. Let them organize
and consolidate all honest men who can rise
above unworthy prejudices and party slavery,
to rescue the State from anarchy, ruin, and,
in the end, bloody despair. Respecting the
Republican principles Of the colored citizens,
we should earnestly seek their cooperation in
the movement. The State has been plunged
into this ruin by the rapacity and dishonesty
of their trusted leaders, who have brought
shame and obloquy upon the party, whose
honor and interests were in their keeping, and
tramped upon every right and interest OF the
whole people in their insatiate greed for plum
der. They owe the State some reparaton
for the past, and we surely may hope that
there are some thousands having sufficient
honesty, intelligence and patriotism to Join
the hue and cry against the robber band.
Not many would be required, for the true
majority of the Radicals has always been ex-
aggerated The whites have never been fully
polled since the war, and the ballot has never
been free from frauds. To secure such coop
GRAFTON the honest coored people should be
invited to q full share of all public office:
Power entrusted to US should be administered
without favor or prejudice, so as to secure the
best interests of the whole people, protect
equally in the enjoyment Of his just rights
every citizen, however high or humble, and
promote the welfare Of all alike so far as may
come within the legitimate sphere Of govern
ment.
Upon such principles onl can harmony
and good government be secured in the pres
ent state of society here Cooperation in this
good work would lead to mutual dependence,
respect and good will, and tend more to the
elevation and development of the colored
people than all other possible expedients.
consider these views worth pondering at
this time with reference to the taxpayers
movement and the promised reform in the
Republican party Of course the policy of
the people can only be settled by conventions
of their authorized representatives, but it is
we'll to take counsel together and to inter-
change views beforehand, in order that the
public mind may settle down upon such meas
nres as may be approved after due considera-
ton. | firmly believe the hour of deliver
auce is at hand, if we but true to ourselves.
Indeed, the crisis does not admit the thought
of failure. Success is a necessity; failure is
death, and disgrace to the Commonwealth
need not say to you that | do not pre-
sumo to dictate policy, and consider my
opinions of much less Importance than you
seem to attribute to them such as they are
they are heartily at your service.
