be united with one or the other, as
his interest leads him to elect.
Politically, the colored man is our
equal, made sosboth by the, laws of
the nation of which we are SUBJ ccts,
and by the laws Of the State III
which our dcstihies are cast, and
these laws we cannot annul or change
materially. His vote in the ballot
box counts equal with the white
mans vote, either to redress an
INJURY or TO perpetrate Il fraud; and
there is no other force which the
white man can bring to bear upon
that vote, t" properly direct it, save
his superior Intelligence. When t he
colorcd man holds The balance of
power, us he evidently does in thi 3
and other counties, the white man
dares not ignor, the influence of his
vote; if he does, it is ut the peril of
his own interest and the best interest
of his country. With these facts
therefore, SO tangibly before us, it
becomes question IF great moment.
In what position shall we place our
selves politically y VI the negro, so us
to direct the influence of his vote by
our superior intelligence? W. Ger
tainIy cannot do it by standing aloof
and leaving him to the manipula-
tions of cunning politicians in the
shape Of shrewd carpet-baggcr, or
an unprincipIed scalawag; but po-
sition must be assumed in some way,
which will enable us to bring our in
tclllgcncc in contact with the voter
and thus con troll the vote. There
can be no better time to assume this
position tfan now, or more impor-
tant political principles involved
than those Of the coming campaign.
Il strikes as III this writing, as IL
neces sity of the proper position, that
political principles should determine
the party lines and not color of race.
Abbevillc may have struck The right
cord, but we are sure Edgcield has
not. 6

SATURDAY, JUNE IS 1878.
Gov. Hampton.

Gov. Hampton reached this point
Wednesday morning on the 10!
o'clock train to attend the Annual
Commencement exercises Of the
Claflin University, and proceeded
Immediately to the College where the
exercises were i'll progress. AS he
entered the room the cn,irc asscn bly,
arose to their feet and welcomed their
and our Chief III most gratifying
manner AS isusual upon such occa
slons, he was not permitted to sit long
before call was made for him to adj
dress the students and colored people
assembled. This he did in his usual
happy and sensible manner, congr,tu-
lating professors and students upon
the recurrence Of this season and the
privileges with which they were sur
rounded. He said, his desire has ever
been to see the colorel people thor,
oughIy educated, that they, in COM
mon with their white neighbors,
might become Il progressive people
making good citizens, who should la
Dor for the best interest Of our entire
country. Whilcst education was ne
cessary in order THAI this progress
might be had, still it was impossible
to be good and reliable citizens With
out becoming at the same time Il good
and religious people. Good morals
must be coupled with education or
the desired end could not be attain
ed.
These timely remarks were liste ned
to with marked attention, and ut the
conclusion Hon. r. b. Elliott arose
and gave his cndorscm mt to the words
the Governor had spoken, and said.
he knew the Governor long enough
to believe that he was sincere and
would labor to fulfil his pledges mad
z-tbera- aud elsewhere. The past and
the present were guarantees Of the
future. The colored people in Orange.
burg, as well as elsewhere in our
State, have been very tavoro bly, i'm
pressed by the liberal and consistent
course Governor Hampton has pur
sued, and if no evil circumstances
surround them between this and tin G
election, lie will receive the entire
colored vote Of O.angcburg. SO much
for consistency Of conduct, liberal
political sentiment and .intc gritty Of
character. Let the people learn
lesson here and the solution Of the
problem involving lhe colored vo te
will have been found.
Orangeburg times. [volume] (Orangeburg Court House [S.C.]) 1877-1881, 1878-06-15
The Colored Vote.

The Abbcvillo County Democratic
Convention refuses to admit colored
clubs TO representation in that body,
but permits colored men 10 unite
with the several clubs on exactly the
same footing with white men. The
color line has been wiped out and
both races arc to stand upon COM
mon platform of equal rights and
equal justice to all, without regard to
race, color or previous condition.
This is certainly jump, not step,
forW ard tor county that has a
black majority. Abbcvillc an
Edgcfcld, adjoining counties, stand
just opposed to each other in their
ideas about managing the colored
vote, b 9th, we think, adopting ex-
tremes.
The proper disposition of this vote
ill the State, and particularly in the
low country counties, is a question
with which the Democracy will have
to contend at no distant day; and
every step taken toward its ADJUST
mcnt should be deliberately consid-
cred before decided upon.
The colorcd people are citizens and
voters in our country; whether igno--
rant or not, whether by or against
our will, does not fleet the fact, and
they must be fairly and justly dealt
with by the Democracy. If our con
duct toward them be other than Just
we can never expect to do away with
their prcjudiccs and unite them with
us upon any reasonable terms. The
color Of the man will decide to what
party he belongs save IL few scala
wags, who, for plumber and gain, may
