ATHENS BRANCH.
A SENSIBLE PROTEST-
The negroes of Soirth Carolina
have addressed a most sensible and
dignified protest to the Governor and
officials of that State, agaiust the
massacre of eight members of their
race in Barnwell, and asked that
steps be taken to bring the guilty
parties to punishment and proper
protection be given their people.
This address contains neither me
nace or threats, but is* characterized
by its fairness and conservatism.
The South Carolina negroes have
taken the proper steps to secure tbeh*
rights and protection, and this ap
peal will doubtless ka heard and re
spected by the officers of that State,
Heretofote it has been the policy
of the Southern negroes to carry
their grievances to republican lead
ers i n Washington City; and they
had just as well have tied such pro
tests on a stick and thrown them in a
dry well. In the firet place, the
general government has no authority
to interfere with the local affairs of a
State, and will not attempt it. We
had just as well hove a monarchy at
once, if a centralized power is given
the right to meddle with the local
government and courts of a sover
eign ;State. Again, ;these disturb
ances between the races in the South
is just what the republican party
wants, and so far from suppressing
them, actually send out emissaries
instructed to encourage such strife.
These party leaders are of course
loud in their protests, so as to man
ufacture campaign material, but are
powerless to litt a hand to prevent
or punish such acts, even were they
inclined to do so.
The Carolina negroes have taken
the right steps to protect their race
and we are glad to sec that Gov.
Richardson so promptly gave them
his aid, and offered rewards for the
Barnwell lynchers. Let the negroes
learn that they must rely upon the
humane and fair minded people of
the Southern Slates and the officers
of the law for protection, and lay
their grievances before them,and we
venture the assertion that they will
be given every protection and full
justice.
Bnt another thing our colored
population must be taught: not to
make the cause of every scoundrel
and outlaw their own, simply be
cause he has a black ekin. To se
cure the respect and confidence of
good people and the protection of
the courts, they must frown down
crime, and when a member of their
race transgresses tho laws of his
country, show him by their con
I duct that he is held in con-
AVrite me at onee, if you desire to
purchase, for full particulars.
