Instead of industry, we have idlenchs; instead of system, we have dis order ; and, instead of- profits, we have losses. , Shall we be able to drive ont com petition in the future as we have in the jmfat 1 Barely not " Bat a few years before the war, ono of oar most intelligentplant ers represented this State at the World's Exhibition in Paris ; and, upon his return, reported that he saw upon exhibition there the cottons from Algiers and from the East, which were in every way equal to the finest productions of the united States, lie abked, why cannot these cottons compete with the American cottons ? The answer was, because wo cannot produce the article for the samo price ; we are compelled to hire the labor which you oven ours is un reliable, idle and costly, while yours is un der control, steady and cheap. For these reasons you will always be able to drive us out of the market But what now is the condition of the Southern -planter ? His labor is much more costly than that of Al ciers or tho East, equally unsteady, and probably less under his control ; and he nnds himself now, after an exhausting war, driven from the market by prices which his former competitors can aftord to take. The present low price of cotton is but the evidence of the causes already stated. And it may be that, in a few years, we shall be importing cotton and rice into the United States instead of exporting these great com modities. We are now eating, in the in terior of South. Carolina, rice imported from China, and we have been credibly in formed that East Indian cotton has been imported into New York. How soon the State-croft of Great Britain may find it ex pedient to impose an import duty upon American cottons, wno can tell 7 But it may be asked, is there no remedy for these calamities to tne Southern peo ple? We answer, most probably no imme diate remedy. Time is the great matter of the situation. If our people will give up the delusive hope of growing rich by the cultivation of cotton thereby probably working their utter ruin if they will cul tivate less cotton and , more breadstuff ; taise for their own use and for sale horses, mules and stock of all kinds ; cure their own hay, make their own butter and sell tie surplus ; if they will labor to fill the land with plenty, they will, in a short time, willing that others should enjoy all the honors; all tne emoluments of office; all the pomp and circumstance of place. What we desire is peace not the sem blance of peace, bnt the snbstanoe of peace peace at our own fire-sides and throughout all our borders. We desire peace to enable usto build up our waste places, onrtemples of worship, our sacked and ruined cities now lying in ashes, our dismantled dwellings and our pros trate credit We desire peace for its own sake ; for its holy Christian influence, and for the civilization and refinement which tionjthe jury lists are made up from the lists of registered voters, which, as we have t a r said, are more wan two to one in iavor oi the negro. . Not only, be it remembered, is the negro admitted to the jury-box, but the white man is excluded therefrom. Think you that when the great masters of the common law of England pronounced their encomium upon the trial by jury, that they contemplated for a moment such an instrument as an ignorant negro panel ? Think you, that when the framers of the Constitution of the United States incorpo rated into that instrument the provision Mercantile. RMLItOADS. JOHJT J. HXDBICK. RAIL- .

They sow the seeds of discord in our midst and place the best interests of society into the hands of an ignorant mob. They disfranchise the white citizen and enfranchise the newly emanci- Eated slave. The slave of yesterday, who new no law but the will of his master, is to-day about to be invested with the con trol of the Uovernment In all popular Governments, the two great sources of power may be traced : 1st To the exercise of the ballot. 2d. To the franchise of the jury box.. Invest any people with these two great powers, and they nave at once the government of the country in their hands. By the Reconstruction Acts of Congress, these powers are conferred upon the negro he can make and unmake the Constitution and the laws, which he will administer according to the dictates of others, or his own caprice. We are not unfriendly to the negro ; on the contrary, we know that we are his best friends. While he occupied the position of a slave, he was protected by the laws, according to his condition in 'life. And now, that he has been made free, we are not only willing to confer upon him every civil right but to protect him in the fall and free enjoyment of those rights. In his property, in his life, and in his person, we are willing that the black man and the white man shall stand together upon the same platform, and be shielded by the same equal laws. We venture the opinion that the people of South Carolina are pre pared to adopt as theiv own the Constitu tion of any New England or other North ern State, wherein it is supposed that the civil rights of the negro arejnost fully and amply secured. .

Iu performing this duty, we shall avoid all terms of animadversion upon mtn, parties or sections. The vice of misrepresentation and detraction has become the order of the daj, and both North and South have suf fered from the evils which had their origin in this fruitful source of mischief. The ' Northern people, flashed with victory, have Hot been Bolicitous to ascertain the temper of the Southern mind ; and the Southern . people, crushed by the loss of their cause and their most cherished hopes, have been alike indifferent to events for which tbev do do not feel themselves responsible, and oyer which they have not the power of con trol. In the meantime, wicked and design log men, .both at i the North and at the South, have not been wanting, to keep alive the fires of sectional hate, until now they threaten to involve tho whole country ' in misrule and anarchy. Ol the late war. it is not our purpose now to speak the sanguinary fact will stand ' forth forever in the history of these Ameri . con States. Oar duty now is with present , - evils, and their future consequences. The emancipation policy of the Government was and is" tho great fountainhead from which springs, and will continue to spring, . the the thousand evils by which we are en . . vironed. 1 ' : , What but disaster could follow iu the footsteps of the hasty and inconsiderate , policy, by which 4.0000,000 of slaves, with out education, and without the least pre paration for the change, were turned adrift from the discipline and interested car oof . , the.master to provide for themselves ? Must it not be self-evident to any thinking man, no matter what his prejudices, that noth- t , ing he can now propose will bo able to eon vert an idlo, roviDg, thriftless free negro population into the steady, healthy, labor- ing population that we formerly employed ' in our fields at the South. . Bat, gloomy as the prospect may be, the people at the . South must regard this disastrous result as now fixed and settled beyond recall. Slavery is at an end. -' We do not propose that what has been done should be undone; but we do propose to show ,that, with the pres ent re negro labor, the .'.industrial re sources of the South are in no condition to contribute to the prosperity of the coun try. It is the part of wisdom to look our mis! ci'tooes in the face. WTe should not deceive ourselves, either at the North or at the tenth. Ihree years of experience, bj both Northern and' Southern men, attest the fact that tho cultivation of both rice and cotton the great staples of the-South is, under the present system of free ne gro labor, the most uncertain, tho least re munerative, and the most harrassing em ployment in the world. Hod a gradual sys tem of emancipation 'been adopted, men would, by degrees, have accommodated themselves to the gradual change, and the industry of the country would have re ceived no such shock as now prostrates the South and overwhelms her in despair. Upon tho agriculture of. the country mainly depends the wealth aril prosperity of the country. - ; j f Uit a few years ago, the cotton exported frpa tLii United States controLed foreign exchange, and held the monopoly in for c: 7a markets. How is it to-day, and how ' -id it be in the future ? Instead of 5.000.- (".") cf bales, sent forward to exercise the fx-acr influence upon trade, we have not , xacre than one-third of the crop of 1800, cor-into market, and that at a price p r 1, in currency the revenue tax ' c a. . - - - i very little, if anything, in ad-var.-- r ' v vat v as realized per pound for Ca ... of fwrmer years, piii ia C'M- Viitumtxaayfcaiuigi, Sis at least, they shall not have debts and dis appointments added to their other calami ties. And in raising our own food and sup plies at the. South, we should alao manufac ture our own clothes and implements upon our own soil. There can be no more auspicious moment than the present to begin in, at tho South, the manufature of goods from our own raw material. This was done to a great extent during the war. No matter on how small a scale, let the work begin. To be successful, we must begin at the beginning, and work upward, as uur population and wealth increases. Wo repeat, that we would not now re-estub- . the hands of the negro, lish slavery at the South. It is too late to j of the Reconstruction correct the error of its sudden extinction. It is to our interest to make the most of : the circumstances by which we are sur rounded. We cannot recall the past "Let the dead past bury its dead." : But let us not be entirely hopeless of the future. Little more than half a century ago, the great commodity exported from this State was indigo. It ceased to be profitable here because it could be more cheaply cultivated elsewhere. Cotton was introduced in its stead and was cultivated with unparalleled success. Tobacco and rice contributed to increase the wealth of the South. If these staples cease to be as remunerative in the future aa they have been in the past, we still have a great country left to us, and, with something like good government, bur necessities will give rise to new expedients. To conquer our difficulties, we must meet them with patience, fortitude and courage. But shall we have a good government? That u tho great question presented in the next point that we propose to consider. To admit as a fact, as has been assumed to be the result of the war, that the Gov ernment of the United States is supreme, and that the States have no rights ; or if they have rights, that they are subordinate to the Government of the United States ; or, which is the same thing, subordinate to the will of a majority having control of the Government, is to admit the abrogation of the Constitution, and to ignore the facts of history. In other words it is to acknowl edge that we have a Government of absolute powers, instead of a Government of lim ited and delegated powers. It is admitted that any Government, however limited,, may, for a time, usurp all power. A single man may rise up and say, " I am tho State." Any assembly of men may, for a season, arrogate to themselves all powerexecutive, legislative and judicial. But tho question recurs, is this law, or is this usurpation ? Is this good government, or ia it revolution ? Mere physical force is not law. It may compel obedience, but it cannot give to its acts the sanction of law ; unless it be in those countries where the will of an absolute despot is the recognized law of the land To admit that the war has established such a power in the United States, is to admit all constitutional gov ernment is at an end, and that as States, or as individuals, we hold our life, liberty and property at the will and pleasure of any majority, which, for tho time being, may hold the power. Such, to-day, may be practically the condition of ten States of the American Union. Bat are we pre pared to endorse these proceedings and engraft so monstrous a proposition into our governmental polity t mat is tne question the people of the North, as well us of the South, are called upon to consid er ! The great object of laws, of consti tutions, and of government, is to protect the weak against the strong to shield mi norities against the encroachments of ma jorities. It is a politial aphorism that a majority can protect itself. Acting by the sheer exercise of arbitrary power, a major ity may, for a time, set at naught all laws mlihin these States it may enforce an obedience to military decrees, from which there is no appeal it may, administer a purely military government according to its own will, and as sucA it must be obeyed. But when we are called upon to sanction such government as being in accordance with the constitution and the laws, we have a right to test the question according to the rule proposed, and to withhold oar as sent We admit the fad that martial law exists in South Carolina, but we do not admit the principle that martial law has the right to impose civil government upon us without our consent Far be it from ns to raise a factious opposition to the Re construction Acts of Congress. We believe that those acts and the measures they propose are destructive, not only to our constitutional rights, bat to our social peace. With ns it is not a question of pTty, r r cf pel:.:. I power. We care fair to. our opponents, .were we to withhold the frank and full expression of our opin ions. We, therefore, feeling the responsi bility of the subject- and the occasion. enter our most Bolemn protest against the policy of investing the negro with political rights. The black man is what God and nature and circumstances have made him. That he is not fit to be invested with these important rights, may be no fault of his. But theact is patent to all, that the negro is utteny unfitted to exercise the highest functions of the citizen. The government of the country should not be permitted to ; pass from the hands of the white man into The enforcement Acts by military power, under the guise of negro voters and negro conventions, cannot lawfully re establish civil government in South Caro lina. It may for a time hold us in subjec tion to a quasi civil government backed by military force, but it can do no more. As citizens of the United States, we should not consent to live under negro supremacy, nor should we acquiesce in negro equality. Not for ourselves only, but on behalf of the Anglo-Saxon race and blood in this country, do we protest against this subver sion of the great social law, whereby an ignorant and depraved race is placed in power and influence above the virtuous, the educated and the refined. By these Acts of Congress, intelligence and virtue are put under foot, while ignorance and vice are lifted into power. In South Carolina, the negro majority, under the Reconstruction Acts, is much more than two to one. In most of the other Southern States, the negro majori ties, if not so great, are almost as decided. In those States where the white vote is in the ascendant the election districts have been so arranged, as to take the political power from the white vote and cast it in favor of the negro vote. What, then, is the inevitable result ? It invests the negro with absolute political power in each of the ten Southern States, and at the same time, invests him with the balance of power in the United States. Nor is this all the re construction scheme closes the ballot-box against the best informed and educated classes in the community, and opens it to the negro, of whom not more than one in a hundred can read a word, and not more than one in five hundred can write his name ; ana multitudes of whom are so pro foundly ignorant, as to be unable to remember the names by which they have been registered. Verily, this seems to be converting a popu lar Government, of which we have been so justly proud, into a popular faice i and we would be content so to consider, if if it did not involve the issue of life and death to the form of Government established by our fathers for the benefit of themselves and their posterity. : If the object of the framers of the Reconstruction Acts was to degrade the Southern people, it is time for them to consider whether the degradation may not be brought to their own doora -whether the poisoned cup may not be returned to their own lips. But it may be asked, why do not the Sonthern people accept the situa tion and control the negro element ? This question is much more easily asked than answered. In the first place, it may be said that the influence of the corrupt and intriguing- demagogue, who will appeal to passion and prejudice, has always been found to be more powerful with the excited and ignorant mob, than the wisest counsels of the best friends. Besides, the founda tion-stone upon which Republican Govern ment rests is, that the election franchise is is to be exercised by a free, intelligent and unbiased judgment ; and whenever it is ad mitted that this franchise is. to De con trolled, or, ' in other ' words, to be made the subject of undue influence and of bribes, then, too, it must be admitted that Republican Government is at an end, and must sooner or later, give way to such other Government as may be forced upon a depraved and already corrupt people. But if it is proposed in advance to Dlace the enfranchised neero under con trol, why confer the franchise at all ? Sorely, the part of wise government is to prevent the evil, and not open tne door to the mischief which others are admonish ed they must be prepared, by trick or man agement to avert But why press the sub ject farther ? It is enough for us to know that this wild and reckless experiment comes home to tho hearth-stone of every citizen, and involves family and property, society, liberty, and even life itswlf.

Think you, that when John Rutledge and his illustrious compeers sign ed that instrument on the part of South Carolina, that they intended to forge a chain which, in a period no longer than an ordinary life-time, would diag their grand children (who were then playing around their knees, and some of whom are now living) for trial before a jury of their own slaves? Talk of additional humiliation, talk of confiscation, complain of clemency to rebels, after this ! God forbid 1 The Government of the . United States has en forced against the Sonthern people the most stupendous acts of confiscation that has ever been enforced in the history of nations; their property in slaves .has been confiscated to the amount of three thou sand millions of dollars; other personal property, in the shape of cotton, provis ions, stock, plate and money, has been captured or destoyed, to the value of one thousand millions of dollars; and from these causes their land has deteriorated to the extent of one thousand millions of dol lars making in the aggregate the en or mous sum of five thousand millions of dol lars. These overwhelming pecuniary loss es fall exclusively upon the Southern peo ple. The political evils complained of will, of coarse, fall chiefly upon the people of the South, but not exclusively upon them. Fasten negro supremacy upon the South, and it must be felt through all of her relations with the North whether commercial, political or social. Should a Northern man and how often must such necessarily be the case be brought to trial in the State or Federal courts of the Soutl his life or liberty must be passed upon by ignorant negro jurors. Should the most difficult and complicated questions of prop erty arise in Southern courts and how often must such be the case, arising from inter-mamage, inheritance or trade the cause. of the .Northern man must be deci ded by the same ignorant tribunal. Nor is this yet alL The highest prerogative of government is the taxing power, and the ef forts of the wisest statesmen have been ex ponded to guard this great power against abuse. JNo power has been more jealously watched than this. No power has given rise to bo much strife and bloodshed in the tition. history of the world. The contest between the mother country and the colonies origi nated in her assumption of the right to tax without representation. : By the Recon struction ' Acts of Congress, the taxing power is placed in the hands of those who own no property, and is taken away from those who hold the property and must pay the taxes. The war that has al ways existed between capital and labor Is decided in favor of the latter, and the wealth of the country is prostrated at the feet of those who have nothing at stake but their daily wages and their daily bread. How will this power be exercised ? Can it be supposed for a moment that it will be exercised in any other way than to impose such burdens upon the tax-payers as will amount in the end, to practical confisca tion of the small remaining substance of our people ? But we must forbear. Such are some of the immediate consequences of the Reconstruction Acts upon tne people ox the south and upon tne whole country, 1 We have said, and we repeat that we desire peace; but the policy now proposed cannot give us peace. It is contrary to the CJTT A TT7"T CJ voice of reason and the law of nature. &0.i.

The blight of misrule will cut short her harvests and dry up her resources. The law of violence which has prevailed for more than two years in recon structed ' Tennessee, will extend its sway through the entire South, and we shall reap, like her, the harvest of crime and blood multiplied two-fole. , We have shown that free negro labor, under the sudden emancipation policy of the uovernment is a disaster irom which, under the most favorable circumstances, it will require years to recover. Add to this the policy which the Reconstruction Acts propose to enforce, and you place the uoutn, politically ana socially, under the heel of the negro; these influences com bined would drag to hopeless ruin the most prosperous community in the world. What do these Reconstruction Acts propose? Not negro equality, merely, but negro supremacy. In the name, then, of humanity .to both races in the : name of citizenship under the Constitution in the name of a common history in the past in the name of our Anglo-Saxon race and blood in the name of the civilization of the nineteenth century- in the name of magnanimity and the noble instincts of manhood in the name of God and nature, we protest against these .
