Brave old Ethan Allen was the first leading man to recognize the pre-eminent authority of Congres as above that of Presi- dents, Governors, or Generals. When he called on the British commander at Ticon- deroga early on the morning of the 10th of May, 177-"», he demanded the surrender of the fort "in the name of the great Jehovah and the Continental Congress/' .In the New Jersey Legislature a wo- man's rights petition has been presented and referred to the Judiciary Committee, with instruction to make an early report upon it.

It is against Jewesh principles to allow any of their poor to come upon the public. Air the sick in poverty are cared for, and provision is made for widows and orphans. Efficient societies, liberally provided with funds, sup- ply the poor with food, help the old people as t^ey need, and bury the dead. Some of the froe hospitals in London have Jewish wards, but all the expenses of those wards are paid for from the treasury of Jewish organizations. If any ablebodied persons are out of employment and need help, they receive no gratuity, but are accommodated with a temporary loan, and the cases are said to be rare in which these debts are not fully repaid. .People about to marry, who wish to know the proper age, are referred to the following precedents..Adam and Eve, 0, Shakespeare, 13 ; Ben.

He had paid no attention to it, but kept on with his work. Subsequently a large company of Rebels, disguised and armed, dragged him out of his house and about midnight carried him to a creek three miles distant, tied a rope around his neck, dragged him and down the creek, pulled out his hair and beard, kicked and whipped him, and left him lying unconscious in the wood. He was found the following even- ing by his wife. Mr. Hanney is well known in Nashville as a lover of the Union. The Klu Klux Klan visited the house of George Bryant, colored, last night, eight miles from Nashville, and demanded admission. Not having any faith in their ghostly profess- ions, the colored man denied them admis- sion, but levelled his gun at them, and then they made a precipitate retreat. He recog- nized in one of the scoundrels a neighbor named Warren, and has taken out a warant fo; his arrest The Yidette (Kla Klux Klan organ) has published an extra, warning Union men and negroes not to leave their homes until after the election. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. GOV. PERRY'S RESOLUTIONS. What has become of Gov. Perry's Pream ble and Resolution ? why did not the Colum hia papers gire them to the public ? why should so much wisdom, so much Patriatism, so much sound statesmanship be withheld ! We call upon Got. Perry to send them to this office for publication. We will not only print them, but we will send him a hundred copies for his private use, as-gems of poli- tical sagacity, to be circulated amoeg his friends to be by them framed'and hung up in their places of business and their draw- ing rooms, just as the " Ordinance of Seses- sion" was- Wesay wc will do this gratuitously; we would however, as a special favor, request of Mr. Perry a letter of recommendation to his Democratic friends which will enable us to get a contract to furnish the weapons with which they are by him advised to arm themselves for the approaching "war of races." Oh, Ex-Provisional Governor, you used to be thought to have a calm and oool head, if not a very wise one but poor Andy has crazed you. We will pray for you.

Win* should not the rights and privileges of every person, no matter how humble, be recoguized and acknowledged ? We think no candid and thoughtful mind will per- ceive anything uukind or unreasenable in these just and simple provisions. Yet the old politicians are howling, and gnashing their teeth, and trying to make the people believe there is something revolting about these requirements. There is really no sense or sincerity in their irrational oui cry. They affect to believe that there is great danger of "negro supremacy," but the mere ' statement of the fact makes their pretend- ed alarm appear merely coutemptible. No. their greatest anxiety, the cause of all their noise about negro domination, and so forth, is founded on the fact that, they are about to lose their position. The old fellows tvould willingly permit the people to as- jume the risk of defeating reconstruction, of prolonging military rule in the State, and of preventing an early return to peaceful ìnd prosperous times, if their selfish ob- jects can be accomplished. Wc have faith that the people will repudiate the selfish and miserable men who are attempting to mislead them by raising a clamor over such small and despicable questions, or rather prejudices. We are of opinion t hat the peo- ple are looking beyond and above them ; that they are casting anxious and longing eyes towards this golden era of peace : and that they comprehend the fact that this must be brought about by voting for recon- struction. Voters remember that. A NEW PARTY IN PROSPECT. Every thing in the political world points to the organization of a new party. Re- publicans and Democrats alike pull unevenly and uneasily in their party harness, looking for relief in the starting here and there of some new organ, or the resuscitation of some old party hack for the Presidency; not seeing that the time has come when old things are to pass away and all things are to be made new. This war has not only ended negro slavery on this continent, but it has given the death blow to every form of aristocracy, to the leading of the many by the few. Our crafty rulers turn pale as they read the handwriting o a the wall. Let not the people wait for caucuses, con- ventions, or campaigns, but rise up now and quickly, or another President will be foisted on the nation to gratify some person- al pique or party spleen. A quarrel between Greely and Weed gave us Lincoln and John- son, and the same quarrel is to give us Chase or Grant, unless the people by some mighty throe uproot this dynasty of rottonness. The great lesson for Americans to learn is, that every citizen has an individual interest and responsibility in the welfare of this nation. é _^_ "Sam is you a nigger?"

I's a man, and a part of Souf Car- lina." address of the colored state CONVENTION TO TEE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. Saturday November 24th 1865. Fellow Citizens..We have assem- bled s3 delegates representing the eoi- ored people of the State of South Caro- lina, in the capacity of State Convention, to confer together and to deliberate upon our intelectual, moral, industrial, civil and political condition as affected by the great changes which have taken place in this State and throughout this whole country, and to devise ways and means which may, through the blessing of God, tend to our improvement, elevation, and progress; fully believing that our cause, is one which commends itself to all ^ood men throughout the civilized world ; that it is the sacred cause ¿>f truth and rightiousness ; that it particularly ap- peals to those professiug to be governed by that religion which teaches to "do unto ali men as you would have them do unto you." These principles we conceive to em- body the great duty of man to his fel- low man ; and, as men. we ask only to be included in a practical application of this principle. AYe feel that the justness our cause is a sufficient apology for our course at this time. Heretofore we have liad no avenues opened to us or our children_ we have had no firesides that we could call our own ; none of those incentives to work for the development of our minds and the aggrandizement of our race in common with other people. The measures which have been adapted ten- tile development of white men's children have been denied to us and ours. The laws which have made white men great have degraded us, because we wereidack, and because we were reduced to chattel slavery. But now that we are freemen, now that we have been lifted up by the providence of (rod to manhood, we have resolved to come forward, and, like men. to speak and act for ourselves. We ful- ly recognize the truth of the maxim that "God helps those who help them- selves. " Jn making this appeal to you, we adopt the language of the immortal Declaration of Independence, uthat all moti are created equal/' and that "lifo, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" are the right of all that taxation and representation should go together; that governments are to protect, not to des- troy, the rights of mankind ; that the Constitution of the United States was formed to establish justice, to promote t he general welfare, and secure the bless- ings of liberty to all the people of this .country ; that resistance to tyrants is obedience to God,.are American prin- ciples and maxims ; and together they form the constructive elements of the American Government. We think we fully comprehend and duly appreciate the principles and meas uros which compose this platform : and all that we desire or ask for is to bo plac- ed in a position that we could conscien- tiously and legitimately defend, with you, those principles against the surges of despotism to the last drop of our blood. We have not come together in battle ar- ray to assume a boastful attitude and to talk loudly of high-sounding principles or unmeaning platforms, nor do we pre- tend io any great boldness ; for we know your wealth and greatness, and our pov- erty and weakness; and although we feel keenly our wrongs, still we come togeth- er, we trust, in a spirit of meekness and of patriotic good-will to all the people of the State. But yet it is some consola- tion to know [and it inspires us with hope when we reflect]that our cause is not alone the cause of live millions black men in the country, but we are intense- ly alive to the fact that it is also the cause of millions of oppressed men in other "parts of God's beautiful earth." who are now struggling to be free in the fullest sense ofthat word ; and God and nature are pledged in its triumph. We are Amerieaus by birth, and we assure you that we are Americans in feeling; and in spite of all wrongs which we have long and silently endured in this coun- try, we would still exclaim with a full heart. "0 America! with all thy faults we love thee still.' ' Breathes thero a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said. "This is niy own, my native land !" Whose heart hath ne'er within him hurned As borne his footsteps he hath tamed. From wandering in a foreign strand ? Thus we would address you not as Reb- els and enemies, but as friends and fel- low countrymen, who desire to dwell amone you in peace, and whose desti- nies are interwoven, and linked with those of the American people, and hence must be fulfilled in this country. As deeendents of a race feeble and oppress- ed, we might with propriety appeal to a great and magnanimous people like Americans, for special favors and en- couragement, on the principle that the strong should aid the weak, the learned should teach the unlearned. But it is for no such purposes that we raise our voices to the people of South Carolina on this occasion. We ask for no special privileges or peculiar favors. We ask only for even-handed Justice, or for the removal of such positive ob- structions and disabilities as past, and the recent Legislators have seen fit to throw in our way, and heap upon us. Without any rational cause or provo- caron on our part, of which we are con- scious, as a people we, by the action of your Convention and Legislature, have been virtually, and with few exceptions excluded from, first, the rights of citizen- ship, which you cheerfully accord to strangers but deny to us, who have been torn and reared" in your midst, who were faithful while your greatest trials were upon you. and have done nothing since to merit your disapprobation. 1 We are denied the right of giving our testimony in like manner with that of our white fellow citizens, in the courts of tiie State, by which our persons and 3 property are subject to every species of : violence, insult and fraud without re- < dress. : We are also by the present laws, not < only denied the ,right of citizenship, the inestimable right of voting for those who 1 rule over us in the land of our birth. * but by the so-called Black Code we are 1 deprived the rights of the meanest prof- I lígate, iu the country,.the right to en- < gage in any legitimate business free from ] any restraints, save those which govern · all other citizens of this State. 1 You have by your Legislative actions 1 placed barriers in the way of our educa- tional and mechanical improvement, you ! have given us little or no encouragement to pursue Agricultural pursuits, by re- fusing to sell to us lands, but organize societies to bring foreigners to your country, and thrust us out or reduce us to a serfdom, intolerable to men born amid the progress of American genius, and national development. Your publie journals charge us with destroying the products of the country since we have been made free, when they know that the country and pro- ducts thereof were destroyed by ravages of war of four years duration. How unjust to charge upon the innocent and helpless the crimes oí" the very class who have subjected them to all disadvantages, and ruined themselves and the country! We simply desire that we shall be recognized as men ; that we have no ob- structions placed iu our way ; that the same laws which govern white men shall direct blaek men : that we have the ri»ht of trial by a jury of our peers ; that schools be opened or established fur our children; thus be permitted to acquire homesteads for ourselves and children, that we.be dealt with as others in equity and justice. We claim the confidence and o-ood will of all classes of men; wc ask that the same chances be extended to us that freemen should demand at the hands of their fellow citizens. We desire the pros- perity and growth of this State, and the well being of all men, and shall be found ever struggling tu elevate ourselves and adii to the national character, and we trust the day will not be distant when you will acknowledge that by our rapid progress in moral, social, religious, and intellectual development that vou will cheerfully accord to us the hijfh coni- mi lation that we are worthy, with you to enjoy all the political emoluments. when we shall realize the truth that "all men are endowed by their creator with t inalienable rights/' and that on the America¡1 continent this is the right of all, whether he come from east west, north, or south : and, although complex- ions may differ, "a man's a man for a' that." Our appeal is based on justice ; but we do not rely solely upon that : we ap- peal to your generosity. We are op- pressed and powerless. It is iu your power to do us justice, and grant us rhe opportunity to elevate ourselves. A gracious and all wise Providence has placed it in your power to decide1 wheth- er our future shall be gilded with hope or darkened by despair, whether you will become the generous helpers of those emerging from a degraded servitude in- to the glorious light of liberty, or place obstacles in our path. We do sincerely hope that you will grant your petitioners desires. We are natives of this State, and we feel assur- ed that nothing is needed to render our future relations mutually beneficial, but the bestowment of the rights we ask. "Will, then, Mr Johnson be convic- ted ? l>o not doubt it. The thing has got beyond accidents, beyond the shrewd 1 uess or attorneys or the dreaded aeces-? sion of Benjamin Wade to hinder , There is a tide bearing us forward to a certain issue, too powerful for aught to \ resist. It is not rhe force of fanaticism, though Mr. Johnson may be excused for thinking* so. It is not the conscious impulse of party feeling, though our Democratic friends will hardly believe it. It belongs to the same kind of move- ment as that which carried the people through the second and third year of the war, hardly knowing how. not seeing their way, often losing their faith, through much perversity and stupidity, but still to an end not be missed.a consignation which no power on earth could defeat." In Chicago some months ago, Rich- ard Buckley stopped at the store of Bones & George, bargained for a lot of cabbages, had them put into his wagon, and on the question being asked, told one of the clerks he had paid for them ; but was not able to point out the person who received the money, and no one could be found who remembered receiv- ing it. Nevertheless. Mr. Buckley re- fused to pay, and started to drive off with the property. At tbe request one of the firm, Buckley was then ar- rested by a policeman, taken to the Po- lice Court, charged with larceny, and, on a statement of the ease was held to bail in §300. He has now sued Bones k George for causing his arrest, and an intelligent jury awards him $3000. The New Orleans Republican says, that from ail parts of Louisiana come the most cheering news of the earnest and active work being done by the rep- resentative men of the Republican par- ty, and the determination which pervades all classes of the party to achieve a splendid victory at the approaching election. ff - A.DPRES3 TO THE COLORED OF SOUTH CAROLINA. 10 The convention of the Pei: a party of South Carolina feels it ind bounden duty to speak to you iidly and earnestly, and with no fu. ipology than that our interests are certain extent indentical. have been suddently put in po tion to exercise certain powers, th ibuse of which may res ult disastratisi} ;o you and to us. It is impossible that your present powtjr can endure* whether you use it far good or ill. The white race already out-numbers you' in the South. Disease has made the mortali- ty among you twice what it is among the whites, and the rate is daily increas- inçr. Emigration has carried of thou- sands of your color to distant States, while it already begins to fill their places with whites froia Europe. Let nut your pride, nor yet your pretended friends. Hatter you into the belief that you ever can or ever will, for anv length or time, govern the white men of the South. The world has never seen such a spectacle, and its whole history, and especially the history of your race. <dves no ground for the anticipation. "Per- haps, however, you expect fco attain power by the aid of the Radical party at the North. The Almighty in llís wisdom, ( Perhaps to prevent the amal- gamation of the separate races which he created and marked ), has implanted in every human breast a sentiment called prejudice (./race; and when this feeling is one of the strongest and most univer- sal passions of our natures. When your rare was among us as slaves, this senti- ment slumbered, and only a compassion I for you influenced every honest hear!. those among your masters.to treat you I kindlv ; those who believed you wron"*- ' - cd. desired to set you free. When you were set free compassion ceased to exist. When undue power was given you by tho Radical party, (from motives which all men depreciated and despised),pre- judice of race sprang up. The whites oí* this State endeavored to allay it.here at ]ea-:t.by inviting you to a course and a compromise which would have given it nothing to feed upon. But their ef- forts resulted in such an utter failure, that it would be mortifying had it not been Christian duty to make the effort very step of your political career, so far has cultivated this prejudice, until il now speaks aloud in Kurland and is already rapidly changing the polîtes el the entiie North. This is the odium which must soon prove the death of the Radical party. It is too strong to be re- sisted, beiti;'' the opcr,;t:on of a law of nature. Do you not *ee it even in Your white Radical friends, in spite of theirin- dustrious efToits to conceal it, so lonj; as thry have use for you ! is it. not appa- iant, also, in the officers and men. the very private soldiers of the army whose bayonets still prop up your power, only because they are bid to do it '{ "Doyou Halter yourselves that your uLoyal Leagues"cau prevail against it ? -'Blood is thicker than water/' and the league which the Almighty has organized is one to which tin will be no traitors, when once an issue is fairly made. To repeat, then, as we began : Your present power must surely and soon pass from yon. Nothing that it builds will stand, and nothing will remain of it but the prejudices it may create, ft is therefore, a most dangerous tool that you are ha rid ling. Our leaders, both white and black, arc using your votes for nothing but their individual gain. I Many of them you have only known, j heretofore. to despise and mistrust, until j commanded by your leagues to vote for j them. Offices and salaries for them- '' elves are the heights cf their ambitions; ind so that they make hay while the oui shines, they care not who is caught in the storm that follows. Already they have driven away all capital and credit írom the South; and while they draw < île ven dollars a day, thousands *among ¡ you are thrown out of employment, and ' starve simply tor the lack of work. 1 What fow enterprises arc carried on are nlv the work of Southern meo, who hav e faith that the present state of affairs is but temporary. The world does nof offer better opportunities for the employ- j meni of capital than are to be-found in the South, but will your Radical frit ads send their money here to invest? Not j one dollar. They would just as soon j venture on investment.- in Hayti, or Li- i beria, as commit their money to the i - | fluenee of your legislation. Capital has learned to shun it as a deadly plague. We, therefore, urge and warn you. by j all the ties of our former relation.-, still j strong and binding in thousands of eases, o "... i by a common Christianity and by the mutual welfare of our two races, whom \ Providence has thrown together, to be- ware of the course on which your lead- i ers are urging you, in a blind folly j which will surely ruin both you and j them. We do not prêtéed to be better mends » to your race than we are to ourselves, | and we only speak where we are not in- i vited because your we'a¡rc concern; j ours. If you destroy yourselves your j injure us, and though but httie com- j pared with the harm you will do your- selves, we would if we could avert the whole danger. We are not in any condition to make you any promises or to propose to yon j anv compromises. We can do nothing ! but wait the course of event..but this we do without the slightest misgiving or j apprehension for ourselves. We shall j not give up our country, and time will j soon restore our control of it. But we earnestly caution you, and beg you in the meanwhile, to be ware of trie use you make of your temporary power Re- j member that your race has nothing' to gain and everything to lose, if you in- j cratic voke that prejudice of race which since the world was made, has ever driven the weaker tribe to the wall. Forsake, high I then, the wicked and stupid men who can- would involve you in this folly, and make -ther j to yourselves frieuds and not enemies of to a j the white citizens of South Carolina. i . - ti ed cea i- rjìYRRELL'S PATENT HOOP-EXPANDING HORSESHOES.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.GOV. PERRY'S RESOLUTIONS.

What has become of Gov. Perry's Preamble and Resolution ? why did not the Columhia papers gire them to the public ? whyshould so much wisdom, so much Patriatism,so much sound statesmanship be withheld !

We call upon Got. Perry to send them to

this office for publication. We will not onlyprint them, but we will send him a hundred

copies for his private use, as-gems of poli-tical sagacity, to be circulated amoeg hisfriends to be by them framed'and hung upin their places of business and their draw-

ing rooms, just as the " Ordinance of Seses-

sion" was-

Wesay wc will do this gratuitously; we

would however, as a special favor, requestof Mr. Perry a letter of recommendation to

his Democratic friends which will enable us

to get a contract to furnish the weapons

with which they are by him advised to arm

themselves for the approaching "war of

races."Oh, Ex-Provisional Governor, you used to

be thought to have a calm and oool head, if

not a very wise one but poor Andy has

crazed you. We will pray for you.

Our Constitution gives to all men an ]equal chance in the race of life, and the /Union party were the first to recognize youbefore the law.Win* should not the rights and privileges

of every person, no matter how humble, be

recoguized and acknowledged ? We thinkno candid and thoughtful mind will per-ceive anything uukind or unreasenable inthese just and simple provisions. Yet theold politicians are howling, and gnashingtheir teeth, and trying to make the peoplebelieve there is something revolting aboutthese requirements. There is really no

sense or sincerity in their irrational oui cry.They affect to believe that there is greatdanger of "negro supremacy," but the mere

'

statement of the fact makes their pretend-ed alarm appear merely coutemptible. No.their greatest anxiety, the cause of all theirnoise about negro domination, and so forth,is founded on the fact that, they are aboutto lose their position. The old fellows

tvould willingly permit the people to as-

jume the risk of defeating reconstruction,of prolonging military rule in the State, andof preventing an early return to peacefulìnd prosperous times, if their selfish ob-

jects can be accomplished. Wc have faiththat the people will repudiate the selfishand miserable men who are attempting to

mislead them by raising a clamor over suchsmall and despicable questions, or rather

prejudices. We are of opinion t hat the peo-ple are looking beyond and above them ;

that they are casting anxious and longingeyes towards this golden era of peace : and

that they comprehend the fact that thismust be brought about by voting for recon-

struction. Voters remember that.

A NEW PARTY IN PROSPECT.

Every thing in the political world pointsto the organization of a new party. Re-publicans and Democrats alike pull unevenlyand uneasily in their party harness, lookingfor relief in the starting here and there ofsome new organ, or the resuscitation ofsome old party hack for the Presidency; not

seeing that the time has come when oldthings are to pass away and all things are

to be made new. This war has not onlyended negro slavery on this continent, butit has given the death blow to every form ofaristocracy, to the leading of the many bythe few. Our crafty rulers turn pale as theyread the handwriting o a the wall.Let not the people wait for caucuses, con-

ventions, or campaigns, but rise up now

and quickly, or another President will be

foisted on the nation to gratify some person-al pique or party spleen. A quarrel between

Greely and Weed gave us Lincoln and John-

son, and the same quarrel is to give us Chaseor Grant, unless the people by some mightythroe uproot this dynasty of rottonness. The

great lesson for Americans to learn is, that

every citizen has an individual interest andresponsibility in the welfare of this nation.

address of the colored stateCONVENTION TO TEE PEOPLE OFTHE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

Saturday November 24th 1865.Fellow Citizens..We have assem-

bled s3 delegates representing the eoi-ored people of the State of South Caro-lina, in the capacity of State Convention,to confer together and to deliberate uponour intelectual, moral, industrial, civiland political condition as affected by thegreat changes which have taken placein this State and throughout this wholecountry, and to devise ways and meanswhich may, through the blessing of God,tend to our improvement, elevation, andprogress; fully believing that our cause,is one which commends itself to all ^oodmen throughout the civilized world ;that it is the sacred cause ¿>f truth andrightiousness ; that it particularly ap-peals to those professiug to be governedby that religion which teaches to "dounto ali men as you would have themdo unto you."

These principles we conceive to em-

body the great duty of man to his fel-low man ; and, as men. we ask only tobe included in a practical application ofthis principle.

AYe feel that the justness oí our causeis a sufficient apology for our course atthis time. Heretofore we have liad noavenues opened to us or our children_we have had no firesides that we couldcall our own ; none of those incentivesto work for the development of ourminds and the aggrandizement of ourrace in common with other people. Themeasures which have been adapted ten-tile development of white men's childrenhave been denied to us and ours. Thelaws which have made white men greathave degraded us, because we wereidack,and because we were reduced to chattelslavery. But now that we are freemen,now that we have been lifted up by theprovidence of (rod to manhood, we haveresolved to come forward, and, like men.

to speak and act for ourselves. We ful-ly recognize the truth of the maximthat "God helps those who help them-selves." Jn making this appeal to you,we adopt the language of the immortalDeclaration of Independence, uthat allmoti are created equal/' and that "lifo,liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"are the right of all ;· that taxation andrepresentation should go together; thatgovernments are to protect, not to des-troy, the rights of mankind ; that theConstitution of the United States was

formed to establish justice, to promotet he general welfare, and secure the bless-ings of liberty to all the people of this.country ; that resistance to tyrants isobedience to God,.are American prin-ciples and maxims ; and together theyform the constructive elements of theAmerican Government.We think we fully comprehend and

duly appreciate the principles and meas

uros which compose this platform : andall that we desire or ask for is to bo plac-ed in a position that we could conscien-tiously and legitimately defend, withyou, those principles against the surgesof despotism to the last drop of our blood.We have not come together in battle ar-

ray to assume a boastful attitude and totalk loudly of high-sounding principlesor unmeaning platforms, nor do we pre-tend io any great boldness ; for we knowyour wealth and greatness, and our pov-erty and weakness; and although we feelkeenly our wrongs, still we come togeth-er, we trust, in a spirit of meekness andof patriotic good-will to all the people ofthe State. But yet it is some consola-tion to know [and it inspires us withhope when we reflect]that our cause isnot alone the cause of live millions blackmen in the country, but we are intense-ly alive to the fact that it is also thecause of millions of oppressed men inother "parts of God's beautiful earth."who are now struggling to be free in thefullest sense ofthat word ; and God andnature are pledged in its triumph. Weare Amerieaus by birth, and we assure

you that we are Americans in feeling; andin spite of all wrongs which we havelong and silently endured in this coun-

try, we would still exclaim with a fullheart. "0 America! with all thy faultswe love thee still.' '

Breathes thero a man with soul so deadWho never to himself hath said."This is niy own, my native land !"Whose heart hath ne'er within him hurnedAs borne his footsteps he hath tamed.From wandering in a foreign strand ?

Thus we would address you not as Reb-els and enemies, but as friends and fel-low countrymen, who desire to dwellamone you in peace, and whose desti-nies are interwoven, and linked withthose of the American people, and hencemust be fulfilled in this country. Asdeeendents of a race feeble and oppress-ed, we might with propriety appeal to a

great and magnanimous people likeAmericans, for special favors and en-

couragement, on the principle that thestrong should aid the weak, the learnedshould teach the unlearned.But it is for no such purposes that we

raise our voices to the people of SouthCarolina on this occasion. We ask forno special privileges or peculiar favors.We ask only for even-handed Justice,or for the removal of such positive ob-structions and disabilities as past, andthe recent Legislators have seen fit to

throw in our way, and heap upon us.

Without any rational cause or provo-caron on our part, of which we are con-

scious, as a people we, by the action of

your Convention and Legislature, havebeen virtually, and with few exceptionsexcluded from, first, the rights of citizen-

ship, which you cheerfully accord to

strangers but deny to us, who have been

torn and reared" in your midst, who

were faithful while your greatest trialswere upon you. and have done nothingsince to merit your disapprobation. 1

We are denied the right ofgiving our

testimony in like manner with that ofour white fellow citizens, in the courtsof tiie State, by which our persons and 3property are subject to every species of :

violence, insult and fraud without re- <

dress. :

We are also by the present laws, not <

only denied the ,right of citizenship, theinestimable right ofvoting for those who 1rule over us in the land of our birth. *

but by the so-called Black Code we are 1

deprived the rights of the meanest prof- Ilígate, iu the country,.the right to en- <

gage in any legitimate business free from ]

any restraints, save those which govern ·

all other citizens of this State. 1You have by your Legislative actions 1

placed barriers in the way ofour educa-tional and mechanical improvement, you !

have given us little or no encouragementto pursue Agricultural pursuits, by re-

fusing to sell to us lands, but organizesocieties to bring foreigners to yourcountry, and thrust us out or reduce usto a serfdom, intolerable to men bornamid the progress of American genius,and national development.

Your publie journals charge us withdestroying the products of the countrysince we have been made free, whenthey know that the country and pro-ducts thereof were destroyed by ravagesof war of four years duration. Howunjust to charge upon the innocent andhelpless the crimes oí" the very class whohave subjected them to all disadvantages,and ruined themselves and the country!We simply desire that we shall be

recognized as men ; that we have no ob-structions placed iu our way ; that thesame laws which govern white men shalldirect blaek men : that we have the ri»htof trial by a jury of our peers ; thatschools be opened or established fur ourchildren; thus be permitted to acquirehomesteads for ourselves and children,that we.be dealt with as others in equityand justice.We claim the confidence and o-ood

will of all classes of men; wc ask thatthe same chances be extended to us thatfreemen should demand at the hands oftheir fellow citizens. We desire the pros-perity and growth of this State, and thewell being ofall men, and shall be foundever struggling tu elevate ourselves andadii to the national character, and wetrust the day will not be distant whenyou will acknowledge that by our rapidprogress in moral, social, religious, andintellectual development that vou willcheerfully accord to us the hijfh coni-mi lation that we are worthy, with youto enjoy all the political emoluments.when we shall realize the truth that "allmen are endowed by their creator with tinalienable rights/' and that on theAmerica¡1 continent this is the right ofall, whether he come from east west,north, or south : and, although complex-ions may differ, "a man's a man for a'that."Our appeal is based on justice ; but

we do not rely solely upon that : we ap-peal to your generosity. We are op-pressed and powerless. It is iu yourpower to do us justice, and grant us rheopportunity to elevate ourselves. Agracious and all wise Providence hasplaced it in your power to decide1 wheth-er our future shall be gilded with hopeor darkened by despair, whether youwill become the generous helpers ofthoseemerging from a degraded servitude in-to the glorious light of liberty, or placeobstacles in our path.We do sincerely hope that you will

grant your petitioners desires. We are

natives of this State, and we feel assur-

ed that nothing is needed to render our

future relations mutually beneficial, butthe bestowment of the rights we ask.

"Will, then, Mr Johnson be convic-ted ? l>o not doubt it. The thing hasgot beyond accidents, beyond the shrewd 1uess or attorneys or the dreaded aeces-?

sion of Benjamin Wade to hinder ,

There is a tide bearing us forward to a

certain issue, too powerful for aught to \resist. It is not rhe force of fanaticism,though Mr. Johnson may be excusedfor thinking* so. It is not the consciousimpulse of party feeling, though our

Democratic friends will hardly believeit. It belongs to the same kind of move-

ment as that which carried the peoplethrough the second and third year ofthewar, hardly knowing how. not seeingtheir way, often losing their faith,through much perversity and stupidity,but still to an end not be missed.aconsignation which no power on earthcould defeat."

In Chicago some months ago, Rich-ard Buckley stopped at the store ofBones & George, bargained for a lot ofcabbages, had them put into his wagon,and on the question being asked, toldone of the clerks he had paid for them ;

but was not able to point out the personwho received the money, and no one

could be found who remembered receiv-ing it. Nevertheless. Mr. Buckley re-

fused to pay, and started to drive offwith the property. At tbe request oíone of the firm, Buckley was then ar-

rested by a policeman, taken to the Po-lice Court, charged with larceny, and,on a statement of the ease was held tobail in §300. He has now sued Bonesk George for causing his arrest, and an

intelligent jury awards him $3000.

The New Orleans Republican says,that from ail parts of Louisiana come

the most cheering news of the earnestand active work being done by the rep-resentative men of the Republican par-ty, and the determination which pervadesall classes of the party to achieve a

splendid victory at the approachingelection.

your present powtjr can endure* whetheryou use it far good or ill. The whiterace already out-numbers you' in theSouth. Disease has made the mortali-ty among you twice what it is amongthe whites, and the rate is daily increas-inçr.

were set free compassion ceased to exist.When undue power was given you bytho Radical party, (from motives whichall men depreciated and despised),pre-judice of race sprang up. The whites oí*this State endeavored to allay it.hereat ]ea-:t.by inviting you to a course anda compromise which would have givenit nothing to feed upon. But their ef-forts resulted in such an utter failure,that it would be mortifying had it notbeen Christian duty to make the effortvery step of your political career, so
