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.

e "War Between Franoe and Praaala.
c Ob th? 15lh July, the French Govern
went declared war against Prowls, The
, French population are greatly excited and
; enthusiastic for the war. 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.

the Stabs, and in Npseyi its County of 1
OrcenviUe, as suffering boat the wild and \
iniquitous legislation of, the so called Re>

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 ,

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

spare no personal effort to accomplish the

For the Oreenville Enterprise. t
J/essrs. 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. They
I naving an eoonaeni'4 in mm, ireeijr content
[ ed, and he had (ha land divided up into (
email Iota, and gave awaj every other ak
teraate one, with the understanding, that |
thoea taking them, bonnd themeelvea In I
writing to make aneh an amonnt of improve- j
menta npon it The reault waa, that In a 1
few yeare, thaaa ether alternate lota were !
worth a mill Ian and a half of dollar*.? <
Who know* bat what tMa might be re- ]
alined In the Gtty of Greenville f Theee 1
aeeeptifig the gift of a heme, If nothing J
mere, will ever leal grateful to the dteor,
aed the giver will have the eneeeletioa of
knowing that be baa done what he thoaght
waa nothing more than a duty, la building
op and eeeing our alty growing rapidly In
pora parity, wealth a ad papulation.
Tbeae largo land owners, with their hundred*
end tbeuaande of ueimprwved loud,
bnve a heavy tax to pay ovary year, aed It
takas several aeras worth yearly to pay tkie
tax; whereby, If they had dlepeead of it,
noma industrious parson would have hod a
home, and the teller w tb the money lo hie
poeket ready to pay hie tax and other necessary
expenses. The one hee a comforts
mc now, ana um omer bu I cm land and
more money. Ic this not a benefit to them
both and to the country at large? One
acre in cultivation win make more than a
hundred that arc not. Bnt, above alt, ha
hac the approbation of every good eitiaen,

To the Good People of Greenville
end Pickens Counties.
Ftllotc- Cifitemt?I am before you aa a eaa.
iidata to represent yon la the House of Representatires
of the United States Congress,
sod do most earnestly and rospeotfulty solioit
four votes and support at the ensuing election
in October. I fully realise the responsibility
ithieb attaches to the trust which I seek at
four hands, but if'you elect me, I will bring
to tbe discharge of my duties as a public terrant,
ail the honesty, Industry and ability that
[ possess, I am, fellowoHUena, a native of
South Carolina, and was born in Greenville.
My grandfather and father were also citisens
)f ths same State, and reared largo families in
Srcsnville. I am devotedly attached to the
nuu 01 my DiriD, Mia nave long since relolvcd,
come weal or come woe, to lire end
lie upon my native aoil. I lore the people of
South Carolina, and for their welfare and hap*
iiiness, and for the promotion of their best in
erestf, am I ready to spend and be spent. In
rrery respect, therefore, am I identified with
South Carolina?in feeling, in interest, and
?y birth. I am likewise, my fellow citiaens,
levotedly attached to. the Constitution of the
United States, and the Union of tbe States
thereunder. I am as loyal to the Union as
any man in America, whether he lives in the
North or tho South, and am ready and wiling
to support, protect and defend tbe Constitution
of the Union, aod laws made in purvuince
thereof, es tbe supreme law of the land ;
or ia tha support of tbe t/aioa and the Cooititution
of the United States, and in the
nalntenanoe of the rights of the 8tates undcr
bat Constitution, can wo alone bocome pros*
>erous and happy.
As was anno unced to yon, when I first beisnie
a candidate for tho position I ask of yon,
ny principles politically are Democratic.?
They are fixed and well defined?and he who
iwoe may read. 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. It to felly, 01
worm, to play oa o prejudloe (oudtd M ltrt?

Then U i*t, ud thus narar hu boon, anj

Olpitil of tha United {State*. 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. The
Democratic party la immortal} It will never
die?no, never !
