The following beautiful extract is
from the speech of Gov. Wade Hamp'
ton, of South Carolina, on the occa-
sion of his reception at Columbia.
Let our own people profit by this
wholesome advice:
IL wish to say to you, forget for
the next f}tr years everything about
politirs. Forget that you are Demo-
Gratis or Republicans and remember
only that ynn are South Carolinians.
CO to building up the material in
terests of the State, invite ,mm gra-
ton, show the people OF the North
that we have no prescription in our
hearts !; that we will welcUthe him
here who comes as u citizen, no mat
ter what his politics may be ; that We
are striving for the redemption Of
our State, not for petty Offices OF gov
eminent, anu then you will see the
era of peace, and a new prosperity
will dawn upon South Carolina: La
Dor will be employed you will SET
whites aud honest col"red mel
improving, happy, prosperous an'
, united, if you will only forget pol
itics for awhile, and devote Your
self to the great interest OF the State
You will see both races end both par
ties willing for awhile to forget til
bitterness of both past STRIFE, an'
ready TO clasp hands and move o.
and lift up ottr old State. 70" "l
see capital brought here. lmmiSra
ton will flow in, and you will Tin
your old State once more exerc1S1n
that controlling influence for good
the national politics which size ha
so long enjoyed and hon"rahiy EN-
j ployed. | beg you to be true IN ths
record in the past, to try every mea!
in your power to cultivate good wi
between both races and parties.
beg your white men to show
the cololed people that What l ia"
- said for twelve years is trne--t'i;
you are the best friends they have
