Cft Jailn |lrfss. THE LARGEST CIRI’ILATION. AUQUHTA, OA.i TUESDAY MORNING March 20, 1866 Job Printing In Plain and Fancy Colors, neatly, cheaply and promply executed at this Office. Having fait power presses, the heat material, and skilled workmen, enables us to do Job Work at the lowest figures aud best manner. •‘Till* is a White Working man’ll Government.” Such is the subject of a speech made by Mr. Chanler, of New Yorbf'in the United States House of Representatives, on the 12th of January last. We endorse the position of the Honorable gentleman on that point. This always has been, and always should be, a “white man’s Government,” But, unfortunately, for the peace and prosperity of the Republic, there are those among us, restless, un quiet spirits, who are never satisfied with things as they exist, always ready and anxious to stir up strife and con tention, so that it may bring them into power, or keep them there. These men deny the proposition, which we have endorsed, that this is a white man's Government, and proclaim that the negro is the equal, if not the superior, of the white race, in all respects, and as much entitled to all the rights of citizen ship as the white man. They are po litical Jacobins—knaves who are un willing to apply this doctrine to them selves, but anxious only to fasten it upon a certain portion of the Union—the South. In New England, negro suffrage is manifestly wrong and improper, but in the South it is eminently just and j absolutely necessary. Is not the ani- I uius plain? Hatred of the South.; jealousy of its growth and prosperity, j combined with a determination to hold i the reigns of power in their own hands. It is not that they really loveCuffee and Sambo; for it we should send these sable gentlemen to Congress to represent us, v. e are satisfied that they would not be admitted into that august body. They would be spurned with as much con tempt as the archest ex-“rebel” of them all No; it is not love for the negro that makes the Radical so ardently anx ious about the black man’s woes and the black man’s rights. Thirst for power and place, and hatred of the South, are ; the controlling motives of the negro j agitation. j Wo had hoped, alas, how vainly! j that when New England had secured j the freedom of the slave, and placed hitn under the control and protection of a ; gigantic Bureau, it would have been satisfied ; that when our Legislatures and Conventions had ratified the Consti tutional Amendment, New England would have been content; but nothing •will content the Radical Party. The South is not sullieiently humiliated yet. The Negro who is not good enough to j vote in New England is good enough to ! vote iu the South. “What is sauce for j the goose is sauce for the gander” docs j not apply in this case. Having showu-the animus which con trols the action of the leaders of Radi calism, it is, perhaps, useless to pursue the subject farther ; but there may be some among the masses of that party who sometimes reason for themselves,and do not take all that their leaders say as the truth, final and absolute. To such, the people of tiya South may appeal, and ask them, where is the justice of the policy which they are pursuing ? Where is the fitness of the negro for the fran chise and for office? We ask them, where does history show the capacity of the African for self government? We do not find it in Africa. There, the negro is in a state of Nature—is a sav age and a barbarian—a tyrant and an oppressor when in power, and an ab ject slave when in the lower castes. We do not find it in Liberia. There is no progress there—no rapid and pros perous growth of natural grandeur. Idleness, poverty and squalor, marks his career there as elsewhere. We do not find it in St. Domingo. There is no na tional greatness there. Commerce and manufactures do not flourish. Peace does not remain undisturbed by civil commotions—one day a Republic and the next an Empire—like the polka— “lt’s up and down, fast and slow, l’oc and heel, and away they go.” And so on, wherever we find the negro we find the same result—no capacity for self government, none for self improve ment, or intellectual greatuess. There are, it is true, exceptions to this rule, in individual cases; but generally these exceptions will be found to be among those of mixed blood; and seldom or never among the pure African or his unmixed descendents. In the South, the negro has, by long association with the white race, acquired a degree of intelligence, which does not mark his character elsewhere; hut that degree is not sufficiently strong to give him an equality with the whites. His brutal instincts always have the better of his intellectual faculties, and when aroused, his passions lead him into the vilest excesses. Naturally vicious and idle, he is not to be trusted or depended upon; naturally ignorant and depraved, lie is unfitted for social or polifical po sitions. And yet we are told that he is our equal—that ho is entitled to cast his suffrages with the white man, and to wield the destinies of a great and enlightened nation! And this, too, in the broad light of the Nineteenth Cen tury—by men who profess to be edu cated and Christian men ! “Surely, reason has fled to brutish beastsand “justice, clothed in rags” is “pierced by a pigmy straw.” Will the people of the North, the independent people, who think and act for themselves, support so unwise and unjust a policy as their Radical leaders are endeavoring to force upon the coun try ? V/e cannot believe it. M ill Pres ident Johnson, sworn as he is to sup port the Constitution, permit such an outrage ? We think we can answer for him. He will not. He will believe with Alexander Hamilton, that “It is of great importance to a Republic not only to guard society against the oppres sion of its rulers, but to guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other port ;” that “justice is the end of government —it is the end of civil society.” This is al! the South asks for—justice, iustice to all; for in the language of Mr. Chanler : “If the ruling race hold dominion by just constitutional law, they commit no injus'ice toward those who by that law are excluded from the right to vote.” But if the right of suf. frage is given to that now excluded class, and we are forced to yield up our rights and privileges to them, there is injustice done to the white race, and degradation and disgrace placed upon that race. Let us hope that the eyfes of the ndvo cates of this unwise measure may soon be opened to the true policy, and that they may learn to believe and act upon the principle that this is really aud truly “The White. Man's Government.” Xew Advert isemen ts . jjg?“ THE FOLLOWING NAMED gentlemen will be supported for MAYOR aud MEMBERS OF COUNCIL at the ensu ing election in April next, by Many Voters : FOR MAYOR.
