A White Mans Government.

The address OF Senator Buller of South
Carolina To- which we have already re-
terred, has made a stir in the politics of
the State 1t is mildly criticised by some
of the organs of democratic opinion,
which seem to be afraid that it is little
too strong, but others applaud it with fran
tic energy, and evidently regard it as a
lorcille statement of the plan upon which
the South must work out her regeneration
Senator Butler declares that practically
this is "a white mans government" and
"A white mans government it must remain.
/ This is the cornerstone of his politics.
/ Men of all races and colors may come in.
to the country, live under the protection
of its laws, and pay its taxes but white
men alone must govern it, make the laws.
hold The offices, aud east the votes. The
democracy ct Eigeliel1 county have
adopted "A platform in which this principle
is still more agressively stated. They say
I'VE regard the issues between The white
and colored people of this Safe and of
the entire South as dltag0uiSm ot racc,
not a difference OF political p lrties :" aud
they add that white supremacy is essen
tial TO our continued existence as a peo-
rle."
In carrying out this principle The + ige-
field irreconcilubieS reject even the ALI
ance OF colored democrats. There are
said to be $1,000 or 10 900 voters in the
State who are willing to act with the dem
ocratc party, but the champions of ..
White Man's Government will not allow
them to vote AT the primaries, and-as the
country well knowns, to its shame and
,orrow-it is only under the protection of
Federal troops that they can east a ballot
Al the general election. As the bull-dozer
frankly avows, the issue between white
aud black is not Il question of politics.
but an irreconclable antagonism OF race.
The negro must be kept in the con-
dition of subsection to which he was born
Whatever privileges may be conferred
upon him by statutes and constitutions,
whatever abstract political equality may
be proclaimed among all citizens, the ne
g70 shall not r0te That is the sum and
substance OF the true Southern democracy
Ii is hardly necessary to remark that this
is not a matter which South Carolina can
be allowed to settle for herself The
rights of the freedmen are guaranteed by
the Constitution OF the United ST ties, and
The Federal Government is bound by the
most sacred obligations to protect them
Aud when race is violently thrust out OF
the political system, when majority-it
may be--Oi the whole population is denied
the right OF sell government, we surely
look in vain for that "republcan form of
government" which the Federal power
(Mr. Batter calls it the "centralized des-
potism } must guarantee to all the States.
Tot only for the sake OF the negro but for
its own protection against subversive
and dtmoralIzing tyranny, the general
government will prevent the establish
ment of any such oiigarchy.
