To the Editor of the Colunibia Phoenix : The action of the rump Congress the oth er day, in extrA session, ought to convince every one that the llidical party have no intention of restoring the tTuion until the Southern States are thoroughly ft idicalijfed, and will elect Senators and members of the House of that party. The Kentucky repres entatives—nine in number, and all Demos craU —have been denied their seals in Con gress, simply because they were not Black Republicans. If the Southern States under the reconstruction policy of President John son, had elected Radicals, and given any as surance of their adhesion to that party, no mfi-ffaviTßeen ‘A* 1 .. < , hft l ir representatives ■la the fall ©X 1865, one of the first things done by Congress was to purge the Senate, and exclude Democrats enough from that body to give them a two-thirds majority. The question will be for the people of the Southern States to decide, in the coming elections, whether they prefer to remain a s they are or by calling conventions, adopting negro suffrage and electing Radicals, go back into the Union. What advantage to the South will it be to increase the Black Repub lican majority in Congres ? How can we be benefilted by strengthening the bands of our oppressors ? What interest can we possibly have in being represented in Congress by traitors to tbe South—men whom we must scorn and despise as Judas Iscariots in poli tics ? It is a sad and melancholfy reflection on human nature, to see men who inaugura ted the war, and were going to die in the ditch, now seeking to go back into the Un ion, stripped of every principle and right which they vowed to defend,- with Black Republican collars arouncT(heir necks. How disgusting to see base, unprincipled white met) seeking office and position by hypocrit ically pandering to the ignorant, crimlfial and ruinous prejudices and aspirations of the negro 1 I would greatly prefer seeing every office in the State filled by the honest, intel ligent negroes, than by such unprincipled and shameless raeD. I once said to President Johnson, in re ply to a dispatch sent me, about Union men beiEg excluded from tffiee under the Provis ional Government, that I bad made it a rtile through life to confide in the politics of no one who was not morally honest and trust worthy in private life, and that my experi ence bad taught me the fact that a man who had no moral principle could have no politi cal pi inciple. Hence it is that we see (hose who were foremost in secession, whilst seces sion was in the ascendant and the road to honor and distinction, power aod position was open, now fawning at the feet of the oppressor, whilst tyranny aud oppression are all poweiful. They care not whom they serve, or what principles they advocate, pro vided they can promote their own selfish views. But they would sooner have us be lieve that tbe great interests of the country were foremost in their thoughts. Immediately after it was known that slave ry would have to be abolished, I expressed the opinion that it would be wise and pru dent to permit negroes, who had acquired a property and educational qualification, to rote in all the Southern States. I thought this would be a safety-valve for political so ciety. It would gratify and appease the in telligent and most influential class, and make them good citizens, instead of being disturbers of the peace. It would hold out an induce ment to all who had any disposition or wish to rise above tbe common herd ! And no evil could result from it, as I supposed very few, comparatively, Would ever be able to ats tain the privilege, and when they did j they would always vote with the higher and bet ter educated class of whites. I expressed a a similar opinion many years ago, in regard to fugitive slaves. I thought it well for so ciety that when a slave had acquired such a love for freedom as to prompt him to flee to the Northern States, and possessed intelli gence sufficient to make his escape, he ought not to be brought back. In this way the bold, dating and reckless—they who were most likely to disturb the public peace— would be out of the country, and there would be greater safety for those left behind. But my opinion thus expressed was de nounced by those who are now urging uni versal suffrage for the negro, or at least ad vocating the call of a convention, by which universal negro suffrage is to be established. I likewise advocated, at the same time, tbe propriety of permitting negroes to give testi mony in all cases in our courts of justice.— This, too, was sternly resisted by those who are dow willing to confer on tbe negro the right of holding office, to get back into the “glorious Union,” which they once hated and despised so cordially. In one of my previous communications, I stated that Professor Agassiz had proven conclusively that neg*ro was of an inferi or race to that of the white man, and had ts different origin. Ia saying this, I did not intend to insinuate, as some of the negroes Seemed to tl ik I did, that Oud was not their “father,” as ell as the white man’s father. They are ceainlv both creations of the same Almighty ha)d. They are doubtless, too, equally undone protection of the Almighty, and equallyjJptr to Him in there respective spheres— in which He placed them and to which fe made them. The 1 orse and the jackast|are both alike the creation of God. He dii not create them of the same type, or make Gem one and the 6ame animal. He gave to oneibeaUty ofJortu and symme try, spirit andl deftness; and to the oilier strength, ondifance and other qualities. Bo He distinguished between the negto and white man. To the former be has given a black skin and wooly head, great strength bor, given him pores winch-defy nwlariiis Fevers. To the other Yfe has given a white skin and a head of bair, less: strength and larger brain, adapted to higher thoughts and greater iulellectual improvements. But God loves bis whole creation equallv, and it is presumed that be lias tbe same re gard for the owl that he has for the eagle, and so with tbe jackass, the white mfin and the begro, provided, always, that the one is as faithful in the discharge of his mission on earth as the other. It is by no means crime or fault oh the part ot the jackass, that lie could not run as swiftly as the horse. He was not created for such tUetnes, and so with the negro, he has not been endowed by God with the same volume of brain that the white man Las, and he it hot to blame tot being unable to compete with him in science sod knowledge. He is an inferior animal to tbe white man. God made him such as he is for wise purposes, as he made the ass infe rior to tbe horse. It is foolish to think of making poets, artists, and statesmen out of negroes as it wocld be to make a raco horse or a spirited charger in battle out of a jackass. You may give tbe negro the fight of suffrage and the tight to hold tffiee, and make him a legislator) and so you may enter the ass for a four mile beat With the blooded horse, or you may mount him in battle for a charge on the enemy, but both would be equally unwise rtnd disastrous, for you are attempt ing to pei vent nature and the laws ol God. Professor Agassiz, of Harvard College,- Massachusetts, the most learned and scien tific naturalist t! e world has ever produced, declares most .’’•mfiJently, after a life-time" of thought and observation on the subject, “That the negro and the write man were created as specifically different at the owl and the eagle. They Were designed to fill different places in the system of nature.—- The negro is no more a negro by aceiJent or misfortune than the owl is the kind of bird he is by accident or misfortune. The negro is no more the white man’s brother than the owl is the sister of the eagle, or than the ass is the brother of the horse.’’ ‘ There are,” says the same great authority, “over one hun dred specific differences between the bonal and nervous system of tbe white man and the negro. Indeed their forma are alike in no particular. There is not a bone in the ne gro’s body relatively of the same shape, size, articulation, or chemically of the same com position, as that of tbe white man. The ne gro’s contain a far greater per centage of calcareous salt than those of the white man. Even the negro’s blood is chemically a very different fluid from that which courses in tbe veins of the white man. The whole physical organization of the negro differs quite as much from the white man as it does from *’ at of the chimpanzee—that is, in his bones, muscles, nerves and fibre. The chimpanzee has not much further to progress to become a negro than tbe negro has to become a white man. This fact science inexorably demon- strates,” It is agreed by all scientific men who have turned their attention to this subject, that the capacity, by measurement, of tbe skull of the white man is ninety-seven cubic inch es ; the native Australian has fifty-six cubic inches. Sir Charles Lyall, than whom there can be no higher authority, says the feet and hands, the arms and legs of the white man and negro are unlike in measurement: The band of tbe negro is one-twelfth larger and one tenth broader than the band of the white man ; bis foot is one-eighth longer and one ninth broader than the white man’s ; his fore arm is one-tenth stronger, and tbe same is true of the bones from tbe knee to the ankle. The skeleton is unlike in the whole in weight and measurement, and unlike in every bone of It. In the most admirable-speech of the Hon. W. Mungen, of Ohio, lately delivered in Congress (and to which I am greatly indebt ed for much that I have said), it is boldly asserted, on the authority of sc’entific men, that the world does oof afford an instance of a mulatto in the fifth generation. The hy brid race becomes extinct after tbe fourth generation) 1 uuless they have intermixed with onex>r the other of tho original races. So it is with all animals. The mule does not breed at all. The wolf and jackal, the dog anil fox, have produced hybrids, which al ways become extinct in the third generation. These animals, like the Segro and white mao, were regarded, at the tittle* as only different varieties of the same species. But experi ment shows them to have been a different creation* as it does tbe negro and the white roan. I repeat what 1 have said in a former arti cle, that I have ever been the friend and pro tector of the negro through life. This my former slaves will .’ouch for me. My house servants, eight or ten in number, have never Lft me, and are still living with me on the same terms they did whilst slaves. It is beeniiaa I li •- »* v/ unwilling to Bee him placed in a false posi • 11.. .n.fi- tn exercise the right of suffrage, and will become the dupe and tool of base and designing men. A war of races will ensue, and the negro, being tbe weaker and less intelligent, will be exterminated in sttch war. Extermination will be the result of this great boon, bestowed on them for tbe sole purpose of strengthening the R idical party. General Benjamin F. ltuller said to me, eighteen months ago, that all the Radical party wished was, to have “impartial suf frage.” He said that we might declare that no otio should vote, unless he was a graduate of the South Carolina College. All that the Radical parly then thonght of was equality between the races. But now, they are deter mined to have the negro vote, in order to radicalize the South. In the negro convention wliicb sat the other day, in Columbia, it was claimed that, in the next Presidential election, there should bo placed on the Radical ticket, a negro, either for l’risidcntor Vice-President. It was contended, too, that the lands should be divided into small farms, so that each head of a family might get a homestead. If the land-owners refused this division, then their lands should be taxed so heavily ns to force them to part with them.— There is considerable ingenuity in this scheme of confiscation. The vVhitea who vote for a convention to avoid confiscation on the part of Congress, will find themselves nicely caught by the negroes in convention. As I have already SRid, they will find that, after sacrificing their honor, the rights of the State, and the princi ples of self-government and constitutional lib ty, they liavo lost their lands in the bargain. Another scheme of the negroes, promulgated in their reeent convention, Is to have nothing taxed but property. This will release the ne groes from nil tswrcs, as ttieyTlo not own prop erty. Then property of the State is to be tax ed, to establish free schools nnd colleges all over the State, for tho education of their children, without expenso to the negroes ! Again, they declare in convention, nnd have made it a part of their platform, that the old negroes, and in firm negroes and paupers, aro to bo supported by the property of the white men, instead of taking care of their own aged parents and pauper kindred. In the twelfth article adopted by this Radi cal negro convention, they avow openly their purpose of disfranchising all who have served in the Confederate army, or aided and abetted the war. They arc disposed to take a step, and a wide one, beyond the Radicals in Com gressi The White Radicals have disfranchised only those who have filled public officers ; tho black Radicnls are determined to extend it to all who vvefe in the army, which includes almost the entire white population. This will be.ac complished in that convention which the white people are going to vote for—a convention to disfranchise themselves, confiscate their proper ty, and placo the State absolutely Under tho control of the negroes. Was there over such folly nnd madness heard of before in the civil ized world ? In sackcloth and ashes they will have to repent of their stupidity and dishonor. This negro Radical convention further de mands a revision of our laws and tho reorgani zation of our courts. They, a ret of paupers, ignorant and debased, are to govern the State, nnd the White men, who own all the property, aro to pay all the expenses of tbe State.— They speak of building railroads ! No doubt a thousand schemes will bo concocted for spend ing the white man’s money, for the benefit of tho negro, before they proceed to lake in from him by force or fraudulent legislation. Horri ble, most horrible, in the future of our poor State and degraded people. No one seems to realize our true situation. It is now as it was in the days of secession. We are standing, like idiots, on a magazine of powder, flourishing in our hands a fireband, and laughing at tbe beautiful ring of ribbon it makes in tho dark. The explosion will come, must come, sooner or later, and bring with it universal death and destruction to the people and property of the State. In Liberia, where there is a nation of negroes, gent from the United States, and where they have formed a Government, no white man is allowed to hold office, or vote at any election for any office. This ie wise, and they have thought it necessary to make this exclusion for their own peace and prosperity. Have not the white men the same right to exclude the negro from the right of suffrage, when they know the negroes have a majority in the State, and will seize tho government of tho State if per mitted to vote t It is idle folly to tell the people of South Car olina that capital nnd immigrants will flow in to the Stato vtjien reconstructed on the Black Republican platform. On tho contrary, as soon as this negro government is organized, every dollar of foreign capital in South Caro lina will be withdrawn, and not one cent will VOL. 2, NO 16 come hero seeking investment. Nor will any foreigners move here to settle under negro rule, and the confusion and disturbance which it will give rise to in tho State. Air. Calhoun pre dicted, years ago, that if the negro was set free, the Northern people would insist on his right of suffrage, and if allowed, tho negro would seize the government, and tho white people would have to leave the State. He further said, that the former owners would lose all in fluence over their freedmen, whose sympathies would bo for Northern men aud vile emissa ries sent here to control them. I think it is pret ty generally acknowledged, even now, that all control of the negro, in the coming election, is already gone from their former masters. Gen, Hampton and his friends hnd just as well try to control a herd of wild buffaloes in the vast prairies of the West os the negro vote of Col umbia, B. F. Pebrt. G ree.vViLt.E, 8. C., July 27, 1867. Spurgeon. The London correspondent of the Boston Journal speaks of this remarkable clergyman and his place of worship as follows : Without question Mr. Spurgeon is the most popular preacher in London to day.— His church will seat comfortably 6,000. It is always full. All the seats iti tho vast ed ifice are rented, The chapel is rented by seats. The party who takes a pew receive# as many tickets as there are seats in it. These bold good for six months. Each person to occupy that pew presents a ticket at the gate and is admitted. Without such ticket no one enters till ten minutes before services commence. Then the gates are opened and the throng rnsli in and take all unoccupied seats, Mr. Spdrgeon’s church is an old one. It was formed in 1650. It was ministered to by Dr. Gill, Rippon and other distinguished men. It now numbers 3,800 members, ev ery one of which has to report himself at the monthly communion or be is subject to dis cipline, Mr. Spurgeon ia an open communion Baptist, but allows no members, but those who have been immersed. Other Baptist churches are more liberal than his.— Some cf the most important and prom inant allow persons not Immersed to be come members of the church, and also deacons. Indeed, some of the churches* should they become vacant, without any change of articles or covenant, could as well settle a Corgregationalist as a Baptist pastor* The communion is celebrated by Mr. Spur geon’s church every Sunday night, but only by a part of his church who believe in a weekly celebration. The regular communion is monthly, Everything about this concern is gigantic* The chapel, as they call dissenting churches here, is a huge stoue edifice, with a massive stone portico, snpported by six columns, and guarded by an iron fence which would b® sufficient for a penitentiary. The interior is in cathedral style. Iwo deep galleries sweep clear rotlnd the church. In front of the gallery, opposite the main entrance, is a large platform, filled with chairs, and be neath the tables standing on the platform, is the bapt ; stry. Above this platform is a sec ond one. It is reached by circular stairs on either side from the first platform. On this upper platform is a sofa, with a table by its side. This is the pulpit of tho famous Lons dou preacher. The platform is surrounded by a railing, and this is all that keeps him from the people. During his preaching he walks the circuit of the rails, grasping it at times with energy, smiting it with the palms of his hands, leaning over it, while he holds a familiar colloquy with his people. Sitting on this upper platform the sitrht is exhilara ting. Every seat is full. Every standing place is crowded. The aisles can only be known by the height of the men standing in them. At precisely the time for worship Mr. Spurgeon walks on to the platform from the rear, attended by his elders and deacons, who have seats provided for them in stalls, He is a shott chunky man, with a genuine English look, dark bair, expressive eyes and cheerful face. He has a merry spirit, and cheerful ness and humor predominates in his system. He is very reverent in his manner.— His first act in the public service is prayer. His voice is ringing and cheery. His first words are full and clear, and ring through all the chapel. ThSre is a mouth ing, snuffling, whining, indistinct mode of speaking here, to which Spurgeon is a splen did contrast. The singing is very grand.— Each hymn is read twice—once through be fore the singing, and then verse by verse as it is sung. A chorister steps out on thr up per platform and sets the tune, in which the whole congregation join. No organ or mu sical instrument is allowed in the chapel.— While he preaches, every inch of Mr Spur geon is to be seen, from his boots to his hair. A small piece ot paper laid on the table by the side of the sofa, to which he seldom re fers, contains his notes. A sermon of about forty-five minutes is a simple presentation of Evangelical truth, earnestly, vividly, and sometimes graphically set forth. Mr. Spur geon has the power of putting himself »» sympathy with his audience aud sways them at his will. His Sunday-school is very larg„, and would bo larger if there were roc,m for tha children. Oue of the Bible cla' *es for youug men has 200 members. A Isdies’ Bible class has 700 in attendance, and 900 on tbe roll. Six hundred young men go out every Sunday to preach among the poor and destitute parts of LoDdoD. The college con nected with tbe chape) has 93 students, every one of whom goes out every Sunday to preach in some neglected and destitute part of Lon don. From this statement you ean judge somewhat of the power of Mr. Spurgeon’a in London, J3vrKL.Eiau.
