Another pamphlet of the period, also published in Charleston, recommendedas a practical cure for insurrection the copious administration ofEpiscopal-Church services, and the prohibition of negroes from attendingFourth-of-July celebrations. 0n this last point it is more consistentthan most pro-slavery arguments. "The celebration of the Fourth of Julybelongs _exclusively_ to the black population of the United States. TheAmerican Revolution was _a family quarrel among equals_. In this thenegroes had no concern; their condition remained, and must remain,unchanged. They have no more to do with the celebration of that day thanwith the landing of the Pilgrims on the rock at Plymouth. It thereforeseems to me improper to allow these people to be present on theseoccasions. In our speeches and orations, much, and occasionally more than ispolitically necessary, is exclaimed about personal liberty, which negroauditors know not how to apply except by running the parallel with theirown condition. They therefore imbibe false notions of their own personalrights, and give reality in their minds to what has no real existence.The peculiar state of our community must be steadily kept in view. This,I am gratified to learn, will in some measure be promoted by theinstitution of the South Carolina Association."
