A CARD FROM COL. C. W. DUDLEY.

Messrs Editors:. Y<>u m intake. me

entirely in your remarks at. the h^ad ofan extract from the Malboro' Times,wherein you se^ra to assign as a easoti

for my warring with the It publican partyin this State no longer that it is' thestrongest party." So far as this is calcu-lated to produce the impression that mycourse in the future will be influenced inthe slightest degree, I beg to he allowedto disclaim, and in order to pnt nnselfright with those who have r»ad t.he briefsketch of ray remark* in the public meet-iog at BennettsviHe. on the 19 h ultimorespectfully ask the use of y.ur co'umnsto set forth the true reasons which causedthose remarks to be made. I Rhail he jhappy if ray fellow cit;zens w»U f« el theforce of them and one and all determineto unite with me in an honest endeavor to

do something for our uehappv Srate inthe only practicable manner which re

mains at our disposal.* Adversity has been teaching its cruellesson since the sutrend^r at Appomattox,in vain. Had tho«e who have influenced jpublic opinion in this State fu'lv realiz d |the situation, the i>eople woii'd have beenspared the tortnrs ihev have since in-curred. it would have 1 een sheer mercy

jr the vote of the whit* people was east inY favor of the terms prop, u-d by Con^nss.

The platform o* the Reform party was allthat auy honest Republican should a»k.for it was identical with their own. But'

*y.'\ .

the colored people were easily persuaded c

by artful iutiigUeis that the whites should Inot be trusted, »Dd the olive branch held «

out to them was rudely rejected. They 1were made to doubt the sincerity of their *

former owners, aud cast an individual i

vote agaiust them. Had ih-y known thereal facts of the case they would hare fdime othei wine, tor by this time all reflect- <

ing rnen had despaired of raising them- '

Stives by I in'Democratic rope auy longer, '

and with muscl-s psral>z*d by continual I

leimion, had concluded to let it go. aud »

unite honestly with all those of every i

party who had the real welfare of the t

State at heart, in puii'yiug the abus s of 1

the Government. ISiuce theu,the Tax-payers' Convention

has been held, and the people were great- <

Jy encouraged to believe that mu-h go.id 1

wou'd be the result. Miuoriiy repnsen-ia i«»u seem d to have been secun d, andilie .State had a cheering prospect of relict '

from that m asm e alone. But the illusion J

has been dispelled aud the people uow 1fi id thems Ives absolutely without auy ]hot»e of r< f.»rm, l»y auy measures t» betak. ti in tbe hue of operations hithertopu sued j <

The real difficulty is, that the vote olthe colored people has in every instance t

b- eu given agaiust us. The reason of this t

s, that the white peop'e have refused to Iattend their meetings, or show any syra- fpaihy for them in the only way 'hat could I

reach their ^luderstaiidings. They hive Iheard no voice of friend y counsel fromthus - who have asked ih- ir confidence.No one has mingled with tin m. exo-ptstrangers, who were ostensibly defendingthr-tr rights since tbe war, which theypretended they had fought for whil>t itwas pending.
