This la whet the Ueioe Reform party < South Ceroliea propoeea to accomplish for tb Mate. It has already beea demonatratod the this antagonism of races is as uanatural as i is pernicious la its effects. Its fames are fe< and fan nod by ieoend larles who, demon-like can only lire In its bmlefttl fires. The fael up on iftleh it feeds la the dental of the lege it*tut of the colored rase as oitisens. Kiimiaate this point from the polities of the day mad there remains no just caase of different between the races. Their interests will thei ho idontioal at ail points; the people will bt united j harmony and poaeo will prevail tho demagogue and the trickster will be ren dered powerless ; an economical, honest no< competent Government* will revive Industry and enterprise ; capital and immigration wil flow into our borders; employments will b< diversified; profits increased; wages madi compensative ; wealth will accumulate ; oitiee towns and villages multiply ; manufacture and the mechanic arts, schools, colleges ant churches will attest a great, a growing, a pros porous, an em lightened and happy Cbristiai people; and aniversal suffrage, no longer i rod of oppression, will become a staff o strength and support to a great and gloriou Commonwealth. The platform of thia parly, while it ii historically true, buries the issues of the pest, end deals fairly, faithfully and wisely with the vital practical questions of tlx living present. It presents the only poesU bie basisot anion to the people of South Carolina, and holds out to them, for the first tine, the olive branch of peace. It proposes a fait*lrial and in the only form which a fair Uial may be had of the ex perimeut of universal suffrage, under th< most difficult of all circumstances. If ae cepted by the people, the experiment will have proved the triumphant success of i great principle and we will have demon strated our capacity to emancipate our selves from the thraldom of prejudice, ig iterance and corruption, and to exercis* wisely and well that great privilege of thi freeman?self govrenment. But If rejected ours is a sure progrees of ruin and decay, o vice and corruption, and, in the end, almoe Inevitably a violent and bloody solution o the great problem which we had not th1 wisdom and virtue to determine upon jusl liberal enlightened principles. May A1 mighty God, who rules and governs' tb affairs of nations as of men, guide you t right conclusions on these momentous is . sues I , Where such vital issues are at stake, it mai ters little who bears the standard of the part] since our motto is pre-eminently " principle! not men j" but we are most fortunate in bcin able to present to you as our candidates fo Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, two gcr tie men who combine and represent, most ba] pily, those ideas of harmony and union whit constitute tbs enlarged catholicity, the sym me try and propriety of tho movement. Th lion. R. D. Carpenter stands before you as native of Now England, trained and educate in Kentucky, a prominent member of the Ba before the war, and a consistent and earnei Union Republican throughout that memorabl struggle, and at the present moment. II stands before you as a man who has laid asid tbe judicial robe which he has gracefully an ably worn for the last two years, as the eham pion, of justice so faithfully and honorably ad ministered, as to subdue all projudice an elicit the united plaudits of that august am imposing hierarchy of talent and cbaractei tho Bar of Charleston, and of the people c that enlightened and venerable eity, withou distinction of race or party. A leading Repnb liean, he has honorably borne the honors c his party, from the organisation of tbe nei State Government to the present time, with out fear and without reproach. Able, sealom and competent, ho has stood forth eminent!] as a champion for tbo fame and honor of th< Republican party, against the prejudice ant corruption which have degraded it in Soutl Carolina. The lion. M. C. Butler, oar candidate foi Lien ten ant-(lover nor, bears a name honorabb and distinguished in the annals of America! history from the days of the Revolution. J name that numbers its distinguished warr ion and statesmen; its martyrs to tbo cause o American freedom and the honor of tho IU| of the country, aa wall as to that of the " Loel Cause," to which ha attested the sraoerity ol his devotion, by giving to it his labors, hit fortunes and his blood. Himself not the leas distinguished of his noble race, yotkng, liberal, enlightened and talented, blending mos happily the prestige of the past with tha prog rass of the preeent and the hopes of the fu tore; he is, all things considered, a moat fi and proper representative man of young Cat Una. Placed Wore the people, as the unan istous nominee of tha colored delegates in Ih Convention, and accepted by that body wK gMfttmatson and unanhwity, he eonoentfati to hlmaelf the eenddenee and esteem of all th good people. To the support of this Ueket, men of Can Una, we most earnestly invite yon, in the men of that anion and harmony whieh promises I eur stricken, bleeding, suffering people, < much of happiness and prosperity in a peao fml future.

The great poweri f of Europe, Austria, Italy, Ruada and England, tried in rsis to prevent the outbreak, tf Francs aoemed predetermined no war, and haa persisted, although Prince Lbofolo dat clioed to aeoept the Spanish throne. It is t thought the object of Franee la to extend 1 her boundariea to the left bank of th< '? Rhine. The public opinion of Europe h against the French. There ia no sufflelenl 1 justification for oielurbing Ike peace cl nations. , . ' The Prussians are giving undivided and ^ hearty aaauraneaa to their Government thai $ all the reeouroee of the country will be . cheerfully devoted lo sustaining the King ' and preserving the Integrity ot their terriI lory. The Prussian Diet is already in sosr rion at Berlin. The chiefs of all partlei 1 assure the King of their unqualified approv > al of his dignified and energetic notion, s One hundred thousand people greeted , Ring Williero on hie arrival at the station. 1 Count Btemark, his great Minister, Is dle1 playing his usnsl energy. He hsa issued a ~ circular, telegraphed in all directions, noliD lying German vessels to hasten to ports ol * shelter. The nevy ol Prance is euperior U s the Prussian. The armies and resources of Franee and a Prussia ars very nearly of equal strength and both terribly efficient for tbs deatroetr I ive work of war. The Ficneli aro recalling I their troooa from Aliiers. and it ! aatd n order wu issued by the Emperor to recall the troops from Rome as soon as the dtffeaa of the Pope's infallibility was prot claimed. Louis Napoleon will command | liis army in peison. Tho French Legtalatire body have Toted to sustain tlie war? | 246 to 10. Lord I.yons, the English Minister at Paris, Is still endeavoring (o induce ^ the Ministers of other powers lo join with k him to induce their Governments to convene an European Congress to settle the question between Frsnee and Prussia. The London Timet gives its opinion, that Prussia will gain territory on the Rhine g instead of Pranae, via.: Alsaac and Louraine. The Timet thinks that the Engliali J intervention is probable in case of Prussia f losing stranglh, and saya that tha neutralI 'ty of Englnnd will be difficult, and pere haps impossible and dishonorable, should ( | Uolland aod Belgium become involved it war. me truth la, all ?urope may be in ^ voltcil in war, and the whole world ehakei o by the conUst of the two great military nations. Announcement of the War in Congr***? t When the telegrams wero read in the Houe< of Repreeentatirea anconneing the oulbreal , of the war, there was applause! Thii g showed a demoniac feeling in the apptauder r discreditable to a civilized eoontry. Thi i- Prraident sent a Special Mewsge to Con >- gress in relation to the French and Prussia] h war news, urging that, before adjournment >* Cor.greta ought to pass a law allowing eiil* zena of the Unlt.d States to buy ships fron * toieigners, which is now prohibited and 1 d against the law. to enable them to meet th. kr demand for vessels to carry on the com river c< ,l of the United States whilst the shipping o * France and Germany must be withdrawi 0 from commerce. The President slates ii j hie Message, that the foreign mail err vie of the United States is mostly dependent 01 ? the Bremen snd Hamburg steamers, an* j that Congress should interpose aotne mea 1 sures. The President suggested a piolonga tion of the session of Congress to oonsiaei f the Indian Appropriation Bill, as well ai ' the other matters embraced in hie Message, 1 but Congress did not comply. This war news is l*mentab?9?two of th< if most civilized nations in tho world trying ? to destroy each other for no great end, ii . mot shocking. It comes from the ambl tion of IheFrtnch Kmperor snd the hug* 1 folly of that enthusiastic people who seen f always ready to plunge into war with ot s without cause. But the Lord reigns and j the ultimate result will be for good, al , though at present, exceedingly evil and distressing, as it is apparently wholy onjustifiable. * Hev. Tboa. W. Hart.

Colonel C. concluded by an eloquent and foroibla appeal to all bon ast man, of whatever party, and of what- , aver color, to combine in earnest effort, to dsliver the State from the intolerable bardene laid upon ber by crafty politicians ( and unprincipled demagogues; to prune, , with unsparing hand, salaries created to , put money la the pockets of the lew, at . the expense of the impoverished and over- j burthened taxpayers.

Spaoe will not allow a more extended notice of CoL C'e eddrese. Let it suffice to say, that it was as complete an exposure of the mechanism now operating to rain the State, as it was indicative of a determTnatlou on the part of the speaker to spare no personal effort to accomplish the State's dissnthrsluient from wroog and robbery.

Editor ?With your consent, I * hope it will not be out of plsce to make suggestion in the Enterprise, for whet I c think, Would he for the building up end * general prosperity of OreanrllU Coo more esperfeWy, of our City. There is Boot, I trust, of our intelligent citizens, but whet has at heart the prosperity and of widening ouland making Greenville a ci/y in every- ( reaped. This can bo done, if the ball is set < rolling in - the right direction. The time , has passed that we lived tn ourselves, and ] now the time A as come that we must lire < for other*. We hare played politician long 1 enough, and set hack in the 'cool," and 1 hare come off worse of the wear; and, besides, it ncrer did, nor nerer will, pay 1 the masses. Let u? forget the pest and lire ' for tka future. That though wears a downtrodden and ill used people, we hare the consolation and hope that all is not lost.? But what we set down to say, is this : Now that we me to hare the Air-Line ltatiroad, and everybody expecting to be greatly lienrfitoJ thereby?would it, or would it not, be well fur tbose that are the owner* of large bodies of land to olTer the ame for safe, at a living price, in email tracts, and those that have not tke ready mean* to purchase, to eel? on time, with a mortgage of the same T Or, if there ia no diepoeition shown by the landless (o por. chase upon snch reasonable terms, to have these large tracts run out in such a number of acres and give away every alternate lot; provided, however, that the person accepting the seme, bind* hiniulf to tnakt lueh improrrmmt* as wsay b? agreed upon, to the previous owner. In this wis*, great good will result therefrom. There have been thousands?and we might ?av millions?of dollars realla-'d to ths giver sway of every alternate lot sa we hare spoken of. There was a large land eslats in Brooklyn. New Yoik, several years ago, and a guardian was ohosen by the heire of a deeeaaod parent, and thie guardian, who wished to make all oat of thie estate that he could for them, aald that, If they would give up for him to do juet as he wished, that the lande than worth but a small aum, he would make tham doubls and thrible in value.

I am a Democrat in politics aeoause I beiieve and always have believed. that (ho safety of this Union nod tbo preservation of constitutional liberty in this country dependent upon the adoption, by tha poo' pie of tbo United {Mates, of Democrat! o principles, and the enforcement of those principles in the administration of the government >f the United States. The prinoipfes of the Democratic party lie deeply imbedded in the Constitution of the Union, as was declared by Thomas Jefforson, the fonnder of the Democratie party, and tha great expounder of the Constitutiow. The principles of the Democratic party are immortal; hence the Democratic party in the United States nnd in South Carolina is the only party which will survive the passion and prejudice of the hour. It It tho only party wbicb ftgbts for the troth as it is found In the Cooetitwtioa of the United States. All the evils which the State nnd the Southern States, and I may say tho whole Union, are enduring to-day, are the results o a departure by tbo people of tho United Statei from the principles of tbo Democratic party namelr. the Sunrcmacv of the Con*tkniinn ? the United States, and laws mado in purso< nee thereof, and tbo maintenance of tbi Right* of the State* guaranteed by tbat Con. titution. Thl* i* the foundation and corner tone of tbo Democratic party. Those, (el low-citizens, are my principle* and I eanno adandon them. Coaae what may I cannot (or take the truth, and I do not believe the goo< peoplo of Greenville and Plckcn* will do < either. "Truth i* mighty and will prevail.' * The gate* of bell shall not prevail again* It." The Constitution of my country must b< preserved f The Democratic party is itj guardiaa, and, therefore, I am, and ever ha/i been, a Democrat. Again, fellowMsitlsens, 1 am an inveterate, and an avowed, and am an compromising enemy to Radicalism wberevoi it exists, but especially to Radicalism In Soutl Carolina. From Alpha to Omega my prinsb pie* are diametrically opposed to the doctrlnei ot the Radical party, and to the unserupnlom assumptions and falsehood* of the Radical party In this State. Being an enemy of tbt Radical party, I desire to fight it with vigoi and success. I desire to deal with it with gloves off, for only in this way oan it be defeated. In the langnage of tbo Richmond Da Hp Kmquirer, I declare that the Democratic party la the only existiog organisation, and the only organisation likely to exist for soms (ears that will oppose with efieleney th< Radical party. Thoe# who really wish to oppens the Radicals with etteieney have no othIff plane to whlsh they oan go.

Wi take it for graatod that tbo groat maaa of thi white man of South Carolina now prefer th< Democratic party to tbo Radical party} nay mora, that every white man in 8oath Caroliai W aa owe my to Radicalism, aare thooe wbi bare sold tbomaolvea for money.

I have seen persona from a vary aaotlon of fee oountry, and radicalism will soon ba a tUag of (ha past throughout this bread land. Its days are u on be red not only in Sooth Carolina hot throughout tha Union. The Democratic party at tha North Is growing and intnaaisjln power and strength every day. New York State baa recently gone Democratic by eightyseren thousand majority. Oregon has elected a Democratic Qovernor, and will send two Democratic Senators to .he United States Senate. There are now ten or twelve Democratic Senators la tha Senate of the United States, and between flfty and sixty Democratic members in the House of Representatives. These . Democratic Beaatore and Representatives are battling manfully for the South and tha wholo . country, and they desire you, feUow-oitUsna , of Greenville and Plekens, as they desire the . whole South, to oo operate with them tbla fall, 1 and wa will not only oontrol Congress in 1871, 1 hat wo will in 1871 aleet a Democratic Presi* dent. Let ua all stand united, and rally around the Democratic flag?a flag which has stood nearly a hundred years tha battle and tha breose, and which will wave forever.
