Gov. Perry,sI As,syYer 10 Mr. Chaihber.i
; lain,9 Address to thcs Republicans OF
( Hon. ID. H., Chamberlain
SIn-Your farewell address ito the
Republicans of South Carolina" calls
for the execration of every honorable
man in the State. 1t is uncaualed in
audacity, falsehood and hypocrisy.
When forced by the Indignation Of the
people and a sense Of justice onzthe part
OF the President to abandon your fraudu-
lent usurration Of power in South Caro-
lima, you seek, by the most insidious
teachings, to stir up the deepest malig-
nant hostility and revenge between the
rnces. 1t would seem from the language
of your address that your fell purpose is
to urge the ignorant and crcdulous pco-
pie whom you have so long dupcd to
riots, instructions and massacres You
are indeed, sir, an enigma in morals aud
politics. After libelling President Hayes,
by charging him with q cowardIy aban-
donnicnt and betrayal of his friends, and
| with being false to the constitution which
he had sworn to support, you conclude
your hypocritical address by saying his
| motives and purposes are unquestion-
| ably honorable and patriotic." Was there
ever such glaring inconsistency before in
so short an article?
Moreover, after slandering the people
Of South Carolina with the most ntrocious
falsehoods. and trying to soy, amongst
| them, the seeds of hatred and revenge,
which are to ripcn into murder and
blaze Of incendiarigm all over the State.
you have the daring hypocrisy to say that
ynn "1oyoutly pray that peace, justice,
freedom and prosperity may hereafter be
the portion of every citizen of South Car
olina |" Do you suppose, sir, that any
one who reads your address will be fool
enough to be deceived by your canting
hypocrisy? You have the reputation,
with MI your mcanness and treachery, OF
being man Of talent and culture, and
it is amazing that your fendish feelinga
should have betrayed you into such in
consistency? But your actions have
been in the pnst as inconsistent rs your
I words. -" go '-si- : :
Itis we'll known that you were elected
Governor OF the State two or three years
ago by the most corrupt wing of your
and exertions ofail the respectable mon
of 65thparties. in.the course of few
short months you denounced these cor
rupt partisans > in annmeasured terms.
You declared yourself reformer, and
said that your former friends and sup
porters were too corrupt to hold public
Offices You spoke Of tho imminent dan
ger to the civilization Of the Huguenot
and Puritan, the Round Head and Cava-
iier. Many good mon were deceived By
your artful hypocrisy. You declared that
you would not accept n nomination for
reelection by the corrupt wing of the
Radical party. But as soon rs the Dem
ocratic party had made their nomination
for GDVefnor, you said to Judge Cooke.
as he testified before the Congressional
committee, that you would see to it that
CoEb!a's disho!icai scheme of having
thirty or forty negroes killed to stop the
enthusiasm in favor of Hampton should
be car-:rd o:sl Suchaan expression of
hendish treach ssS would have done credit
% tha fkest days Uf the Spanish inqui-
aition..or thu bloodicst leaders of Saint
BartnosemeN's massairel You then ap-.
pealed TO tho corrupt leaders of your
party, wi.ona you had 30 scornfully de-
pounced. for their support, aud was re.
nominated by them 1-s.'
| :, You commence your address by the
utterance Of 8 truth, ,disgracefll truth
TO the people of South Carolina, and the
only truth which it contains. You were
by. the '-acW of the Republican party
made GeTarnor of the. State In l874.h
The next sentence, that you were elected
to the9aame Office again last fail, is q
most. notorious falsehood, known to be
such By every one, 80 declared by ftf,e
Supreiae Court Of the State aud every
CircuitJudge on the bench. The Presf-
dent Of the United States and his entire
Cabinet have tacitly admitted it to be
| false sand the whole press and American
people believe 1t to be false. The vo
returned by the managers Of election,
after all the frauds and repeating of your
IlyaterG show thsf Gevernor Hampton was
elected by O majority of ten to twelve
hundred votes, ton or fifteen thousand Of
the most respectable of your own party
voting for him. And yet you have the
facts that you We're re- reelectsd e as and nd wsen %
driven from tho Office by the scorn and
cnntamnt of tha nenple and the decree of
the courts, You still sign your name, "D.
III. Chamberlain, Governor of South Car
