Speech of.a - Colored Man.
The papers have contained reports of a
meeting' at Columbia, S. C., in which there
was a commingling of whiles and blacks,
and an avowal on the part of the latter to
sustain their old Southern friends at the
polls. Among the white speakers were
General Wade Hampton, Hon. Edward
Arthur, and other leading participants in
the rebellion. Beverley Nash was the
chief negro orator. His remarks possess
much interest, and aro as follows: • -
FELLOW Ctrizzsa: I have been taken'
somewhat by surprise and am not prepar
ed to say all that I want to on this soca
sion ; but.we know what we have come
here for. We have come to celebrate the
right of suffiggethe one thing needful
to place us on a common platform of citi‘
zens. The question has been asked,
whether we are prepared for this condi
tion of things or not ? Ido not blame our
people for their doubts on this subject, be.
cause our former condition was calculated
to make- them 'doubt ; but whether we
are prepared or not, we are now entitled
to vote. under the recent law. 1 most
confess that I do not like the law in all re
spects,
because it diSfranchises gentlemen
in whom we have more confidence than
anybodyelse, and forbids them to repre- ,
sent our country as it should be represent- I
ed in the councils of the people. My
doctrine is,' that every man, whether
ignorant or not, who is •compelled to pay
taxes is entitled to vote. It is a matter of
public policy that we should be, because
there is a 'discontented element in our
midst, composed of the ignorant people of
both classes, which would ba greatly dis
turbed if they_ war. vrerented by a con
v4mitton of the State from exercising . the
right of vow, and-we should have a revo
lotion in a tea-kittle. For the purpose of
peace and quiet; therefore, in our- State,
I want to pee everybody vote, except the
women. I believe, my friends and felloi
citizens, we are not prepared for-this suf
frage. But we can learn. Give a man
tools, and let him commence to use V i ew,
and, in time be will learn a trade. oit
is with voting.• We may not understand
it at the start; but in time we shall learn_
•to do our duty. It has been • said that
Calliciun was master of Smith Carolina
Clay, the dictator of Kentucky, and Web
ster, the emperor of Massachusetts. But
hereafter we are to vote for principles not
men. - And we have good men in 'our
midst ; men we can trust • men who are
our friends, and have proved by their acts
that they are friends of the State. In
these gentlemen we must have confidence,
until they have proved that they do not
deserve it. I do not believe-there is a
man in this district who, if you.will reason
with him about these tbings,will not agree
with what I say. We recognize the South
ern white man as the true friend of the
black man. You see upon that banner
the words 'United we stand, divided we
fall ;" -and, if you could see the seal of the
society which that banner represents, you
would find the white man and the black
standing with their arms locked together,
as a type of the friendship and the union
which we deserve. We feel that the white
man has not understood the blacken - fan ae
the black man has understood the white
man ; sad if the citizens of South Caroli
na had all acted after the close of the war
as these gentleinee. have done to-day, and
spoken heir kind sentiments as freely,
our ,Ftate would: not regret the loss of
twenty thousand colored citizens who hive
gone abroad because they bad not suffi
cient confidence -to stay. After the re
marks we have heard to-day, we believe
there is a better time coming.. Twelve
months ago Mr Gibbea Said : "Fellow-cit
izens : we 'are willing to meet you half
way;" and we are glad to say-that the
representatives of Richland district - have
done so on the present occasion. We feel
that we are understood here, sod we be-
ac, &O.
hive that colored men will hereafter en •
joy the rights and privileges which now
belong to their race. There is less preju
dice here, less prejudice everywhere south
of the Potomac against the colored man
than there is north of it. (Applause,)
saw in Washington, a few -days ago, men
more violently opposed .to our advance.
ment than any- gentleman here, and we
know that the States of New Hampshire,
Ohio, and perhaps some others, hare re
fused that political equality which exists
and has been accorded in South Carolina.
It is our duty therefore, to identify our
selves with this soil. Here we have grown
from childhood to manhood. Many of us,
white and black, have been brought up
together ; we love the people, we respect
, their honor; wo.know their worth; and I
ask whether, under these, circumstances,
having the pewee to do so, we ought not
to have petitioned Congress to remove the
disability which shuts out that portion of
our people fromihe elective franchise in
whom we have had such long-tried confi
dence,- If we are to haves convention in
the State for the puipose of changing its
Constituti - •n, let it be a convention fhll of
intellect and power. If -the black man is
to cast a vote, let him rest that vote upon
a standard of ability, and not be content
ed to see a body of men who are not cam=
patent to :discharge the high duties that
will be required of them. We know the
old saying that 'loots rush in where- an
gels fear to tread." If, therefore, you
elect ignorant men, yon will have a bad
.conatitution. Give us then, the good men
o f th e sista. I would rather Crust , him
who took up arms and went to the battle.
field, and bas come home with hie honor-
able scars, believing in the justice of the
cause, then - be who skulked - from - 'duty,
and now claims to be e; Union man.
(Cheers.) Siioh a• one is unworthy the
contempt of even a negro. I would rath
er trust General 'Hampton riding at the
head of his columo and shouting to hie
, - men to follow, than any man who . has I
stayed at home, and,when his country was
in !danger, bunted for an iron-clad or
. a
tat-hole, (Cheers.) And so would you.
("That's so." We don't believe in those
r people who, since the war, have dodged
around the corners, declaring they were
"Union men:". (tNo, no."). When I
hear a Southern matt say be was a 'Tin

BENJ'N WHITMAN, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR
from my heart. Whenever the telegraph
announced a Southern victory, the black
men trembled ; but whenever the tidings .
came of a Northern victory we rejoiced ,
because we felt that we were that much
nearer freedom. To-day, thank God, we
enjoy the results of that freedom. We
stand before the world invested with a
political equality with the White man.
We can vote.
Hon. Edward Arthur (sotto voee). You
are more than our equals, Nash, in one
sense, because we are disfranchised.
'The Speaker—Yes, sir, and we are net
going to let the halls of Congress remain
silent until you are permitted to vote. It
is the menof your class and your ability
who recognize our wants, and whom we
desire to see re-invested with the povier of
doing good.. It is with the men of your
class with whom we want to vote on the
great questions of the day, and by whom
we wish to he counselled and directed. It
is not 'our dietire to be a discordant ele
ment in the - , oromunity....nr to unite the
poor against the ricb, We went • to bre
together in harmony—to go to work and
restore the lost credit of the State. As
General Hampton has said, "our destinies
depend upon each ether." The white
man has land, the black man has labor;
and labor jai worth nothing without capi
tal. We must help to create•that capital
by restoring confidence; and we can only
restore confidence by electing proper men
to fill our public offices. There are said
to be sixty thousand colored voters and
forty thousand white voters in South Car
olina. Look what a power you have for
rood or for evil ! But, fellow.citizens, be
sure that you use that power with intelli
gence, and to the end that South Carolina
with which your interests are all identified,
may enjoy the prosperity which it gives.
When citizens come forward and meet us
as gentlemen have come to-day, we have
no right to count the Mere. I tonic upon
to-day as our fourth of July. • And if we
do our duty' we shall prove ourselves wor
thy of the great privilege with which we
have been invested. It is true, the major
ity of colored men may not be able to vote
intelligently, but you will be educated.
In the Four weeks preceding thelirst elec
tion in thi s district, you wilt be taught
more about voting than the people of Ire
land or England ever did know. There
never was a people who gained so much
as we have done. But a little while ago
we were slaves. Now we are freemed. It
has been declared that we shall have a
choice in public affairs. In these public
affairs we must unite with oar whitelel
low-citizens. They - tell us that they have
been diafranohised, yet we tell the North
that we will never let the balls of Con
!mess be silent until • we remove that disa
bility. Can we afford to lose from the
councils of the State our first men f Con
we spare judges from the bench? Can we
put fools or strangers in their positior
No, fellow-citizens, no! Gloomy would be
that day, indeed. We want in charge of
our interests only our beet and ablest MAD.
"And then, with a strong pelt, a long pull
and a pull altogether, up goes South Car

1799, to Elbridge Gerry. At a time when
leaders propose to throw principles over
board for expediency, it is well to go back
to the instructions of our chiefs; He
writes :
I do, then, with sincere zeal, wish an
inviolable preservation of our present
Federal constitution, according to the
true sense in which it was adopted by the,
States, that in which it was advocated by
its friends, and not that which its ene
mies apprehended, and who, therefore be
came its enemies ; and I am opposed to
the monarchising its features by the forms
of its administration, with a view to con
ciliate a first transition to a President and
Sens. to for life, and from that to an hered
itary tenure of these officesT and thus to
worm out the elective -principte.--; - I am
for preserving to the States the powers
not yielded by them to the Union, and to
the Legislature of the Union its constitu
tional share in the division of powers, and
I am not for transferring all the powers
of Ihe States to the General Government',
and all' those of that Government
to the Executive branch. I am
for a government vigorous, frugal and
simple, applying all the possible savings of
the public revenue to the discharge of the
national debt ; and not for a multiplica
tion of offices and_salaries merely to make
partisans, andi&- increasing, by every de
vice, the public debt on the principle of
its being a public blessing.
I am for relying for - internal defence,
on our militia solely, till actual invasion,
and for such a naval force only as may
protect our coasts and harbors from such
depredations as we have experienced,. and
not for a standing army in time of peace,
which may overawe the public sentiment;
not fora navy, which, by its own expense
and the eternal wars in which it will im
plicate us, will grind us with public bur
t'.eno and sink us under them. lam for
a commerce with all nations, political con
nection with none, and "little or no diplo
matic establishment. And lam not
for linking ourselves by new treaties with
th 6 quarrels of Europe, entering the field
of slaughter to preserve their balance, or
joining in the confederacy of kings to war
against the principles of liberty. lam for
, freedom of religion and against all
manoeuvres to bring about a legal ascen
dency of one sect over another; for free
dom of the press and against all violations
of the Constitution to silence by force and
not by reason the complaints or criti
cisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against
the conduct of their agents. lam for en
couraging the progress of science, in all
its branches, and not for raising a hue and
cry against the sacred name of philosophy,
for aweing the human mind by stories of
raw head and bloody bones to distrust its
own vision, and to repose implicitly on
that of others—to go backwards instead or
forwards to twit for improvement—to be
lieve that government, religion, and mo
rality, as well as every other science, were
in the highest perfection in the days of
the darkest ignorance, and that nothing
can ever be devised more perfect than

buctber. we shall have peace.
This reminds me of a little story:
It was about a man in Connaught ; his
name was O'Keegan.
Ile was a decent, quiet, orderlx. peaces
able sort of a man,who believed in a quiet
life. - •
He lived oat of town, and had to travel
a bit of lonely road, with a bog on one aide
and a woods on the other. -
One day as he was traveling home all
aloni% and it was quite dark, the - moon
hadn't risen, and that part of the country
wasn't lighted with gds in those days,
when who should step up from' behind a
lamp post but a big murtherin' villain
with a shillala's - under his arm..
`Good morning to you, Mr. O'Keeglint s
says be, 'an' I'll trouble ye for the time
of day.'
Ur. O'Keegan topic out his watch to an
swer the question, when the blackguard
gribs it.
'lt's a fine repeater ye have got, Mr.
O'Kergan,' says he, 'and it's in danger ye
are losing it ; ao I will just take caveat it
for ye,' and he stuffed it in his
_pocket.
Mr.O'Keegan says to himself, says he.
'Better let him have the, watch, and he'll
be satisfied and go away:
Bat he didn't.
O'Keegan,' says he, 'may be ye
have some small .change aboutye, that
you'd be happy to lend me and you'll
save me the trouble of going through your
pockets by 'belling out'
- Thinks Mr. O'Keegau to himself : 'He
only-wants my. money, and I'll let 'him
have that rather than ha,ya any trouble
with the fellow.'
• So he shelled out, and thought he had
satisfied the rapscallion, and was going oft
quite peaceably.
'Whist, Mr. O'Keegan,' says: he 'you
have a-mighty fine coat that ad just fit me,
and PH trouble you for it!
O'Keegan thought it wasn't worth
while to fight about a cost, so he pulls it
off; and the other chap puts it on,attdildr.
O'Keegaa thought he was going to get
home at last in his shirt sleeves.
But the rapaciods cuss wasn't satisfied
yet. -
•It's bad the cost looks without the
waistcoat; Mr. O'Keegan,' says be ; 'and if
ye'd be after letting me. have that gar
ment peaceably, it would save a misun
derstanding between us.'
Mr. O'Keegan believed in concession, so
be peeled again, though he began to shiv
er, and thought it was cold comfort to be
a Christian under such circumstances.
But the chap hadn't got done with,hitit
yet
'lt's your boots that I want now,' .says
`Mr. O'Keegan began to think that the
chap was a little too radical, but as the
chap insisted that the boobs were an in.
dispensable concession, Mr. O'Keegan
pulled them off saying to himself 'he's .
got everything now. and I'll be off:
While tho villain was putting on the
boots, Mr. O'Keegan wished him
night and was trotting off, when thcV
reasonable omadhaun calls after hint
'Mr s . O'Keegan,' says be, 'just athop
where ye are. I have your watch and
your_ money, and your coat, and your
waistcoat, and your boots, and I belave
that's all ye have about ye that's worth
taking. But now yell be after going to
the magistrate and telling yet story and
sending the peelers after me, and trying
to get your property hack and me hanged.
To save ye all that trouble I'll just knock
ye on the head, and make ye a- comforta
ble bed in the bog, and cover ye up so
that nobody'll disturb ye. If ye've a mind
to confess your sins before ye take yes nap
I'll give you just two minutes by yer own
Watch' •
Now. Mr. Keegan began to think the
virtue of concession had its limits, and
that' it was time to take a stand in defense
or cuust•s-Ta4t... pvtociptca. '
His eyes were opened. '
He was aroused; and instead of saying
his prayers, he squared off and pitched in
to the unconscionable scamp, and being
some on his muscle when his dander was
up, he knocked, the blackguard out of
time in the first round, recovered his'pro
perty. and handed the chap over to the
first policeman that came along.
'Bedad' said Mr. O'Seegan, 'if I had
only done that in the first place I'd have
saved myself a deal of trouble and a bad
cold.'
I think we bad better fight it out on the
first issue.

DAILY LIVE OP A CONGRES3WAN.—The
Washington correspondent of the Detroit
Free press gives -the following humorous
account of the arduous life of a Congress
man :
I think Willard'a •is - a good place to
step, because here you can, perhaps bet
ter than elsewhere, witness the habits and
daily routine of business of Congressmen,
which Is about. as, follows :
Come down abOut eight in the morn
ing, and visit the Counter,where they get
their stomach bitters. (his is for dys
peps!a—Cojagreas is an awful place for dys
pepsia.) Breakfast at nine. Before this.
each one takes more or less impeachment,
which is dispensed in the Rouse at the
low price of twenty cents a glass, plain.
After breakfast a little impeaclent is
taken by way of opening the day' busi.
mess. The time until the hour arrives for
them to assemble, is devoted to ablising
each other and unliniited damning of the
President.
After this they saunter over the Capitol
and spend the morning investigating the
case of some friend in a whisky distillery,
involving, the immense sum of about s
hundred dollars, and talking impeach
ment. At noon, all assemble at Wil
lard's and investigate more whisky frauds;
this time. in smaller quantities—safely say
a pint each: Dinner at from three to five
'
after which moat of the men are fatigued
and retire, looking considerably impeach
ed. Some don't make their appearance
until the next morning, and, when they
do, they look as though they were sorry
they had. The prayer meeting comes in
some time during the day. 1 havn't at
tended any yet, but shall, for I am resolved
to see all the curiosities..
Daman RzraincrioN.—During the war a
Democratic editor in Dayton, Ohio, 8011.
meyer. was murdered by an Abolitionist
without any provocation. An Abolition
court tried and acquitted the murderer.
The whole trial was a disgraceful Wee,
'and all who participated in it were guilty
of official penury. Some three years have
elapsed, and the County Clerk, the Sheiiff
and about ono-half of the fury are deed,
while the infamous Judge , who outrapd
justice at the trial, is an idiot in a lunatic
asylum! '1
Jim Lace, while his hand was yet sine
king with the blood of murdered victim.,
was elected to the office of •United States
Senator by a Puritanic Legislature. . For
one of his, murders he was tried and, of
course, acquitted. He has fallen by his
own hand.
It is now believed by most of mankind
that Mrs. &mitt was guiltless of partici
patjon in the murder of air. Lincoln.—
When she was under sentence of death,
after a trial which will be considered a
blot on our age, Mr. Preston King pre
vented access to the President, and de
nied admission to her daughter, who al
most eluieked and sobbed her life away
. on the ate ofthe Executive mansion. A
few months afterward Preston stilled a
remorseful conscience in this world by
self-murder.
