With undue hostoaud unwonted severity, upon the merest shadow of trustworthy information, there was unstinted condemnation of the white uieu who were participants in that affair, and not .1 sentence of rebuke for tho outrageous and hrcatening conduct of the negroes; implied Ocnailie and reprobation for a gallant and honored citizen of South Carolina, Gen. M C Sutler, and not a word of reproof for the official who permitted this colored militia to retain its arms ami . i? for active service in the ponding politico! cumpugigu. Us utterances arc already quoted in Northern newspapers, and every word of unfriendly critic ism up<ui the whites is paraded for the beuotit of the uiscipies of" the "bloody shirt." Such violent stateincuts against the white citizens of South Carolina, made upon partial, incorrect and unrcliabl ' lniormation, obtained in tho con fusion which followed the uffray, have been grudgingly corrected from tin c to time in its columns, until there is scarcely anything left ot the original account and yet this docs not and will not counteract the unfavorable und false impression created by tin* ioflnuutM'tory denunciation ; at tbe outset But the JVeic* atul Courier has capped the climax in another directum, by seeking to oounect ttc advocates of a ;aira2gUt-out" policy with the work of intimidation and slaughter of the colored people in the peudiug campaign, aud in the following paragraph is guilty of the most flagrant injustice aud culpable unfairness towards the ma- i jority of Democrats in South taroliua.? I We ipioto ftoui uu artici' in last Thursday's issue: There is auother point to be remembered, and that is, that win n Democrat** in South Carolina advise that a straight-out" ticker be nominated, anil that tho State be earned on "the Mississippi plan,'" the popular understanding is that tho Deinocruey shall loot their candidates by fraud and force ] Tu tbo unthinking uuistos i.*i such a (?ouu... .. L*J .-C 1-1 - vy no riU?i:inio, me .Misaissippi plan is tbe Hamburg plan. We proBnnio that very l'w of the. small number if excellent Democrats who believe that a ' straight-out" ticket is the proper thing have any thought of using other influences than those which ! ure common in every election, North ami J South; but the rank and file, who arc told. < day after day. fha'. thoy rau ?tury the diatu, * ^ thct it iuu?t be done, fall unturnily iuto tJ error of thinking that the cusicat w.ii of making, u negro vole right is to kuoek j hint on the U." *1- \ ud '.he danger is that I with tile Hamburg affray fresh in ilicu recollection, the Northern people may be tempted to regard the nomination of a full "straight-out'' ticket by the South Carolina Democrats as a public declaration of an intention to carry the State by intimidation and slaughter. There ia no such intention, hut it ia easy to make tho Northern people bolievo that there ia, and if the Democrats persist in adopting a policy which, with a peaceful and quiet election, will have only the remotest possible ohtmec of success, they must count on the North believing that we mean to repeat tho Hamburg business in every colored county in the Suto. We do not see that this imminent peril to the N ttional Democracy can be averted, save by sending to the rear the whole band of regulators and those who syurpatizc with them. This paragraph arraigns a policy which is advocated by mauy of tho best citixons of I South Carolina from tho mountains to the seaboard, and attempts to connect that policy with butchery and brutality lor political purposes. The most malignant partisan of tin "bloody shirt" ripe could hardly excel this stigmatization of the conduct nod motives of Democrats [ts language is not founded upon the facts existing in South Carolina today, and there is only ouo interpretation to be given these unwarranted declarations. Having failed to accomplish by its elaborate, nrgumouts the subjugation of public opinion in favor of u "straightout'' nomination for Governor, the J\'etcs ami Courier now attempts to cast odium and reproach upon that policy by connecting its advocates with an intention to carry the next olectiou by fraud and force.? This purposo is plainly evident, although it [ seeks at the same tune to exonerate a "small j number of excellent Democrats'' from snch nu imputation. Moreover, the slander aud misrepresentation does not fall upou the loaders of the "straight-out" movement alone, but ie made to include the "unthinking masses" and the "rank aud file." Now, ( we venture to assert that two-thirds of the j white voters in this State strongly favor the nomination of a discreet and honest Democrat for the office of Governor, And ihey uro to be includori among those who will interpret such a nomination as the signal for "fraud and force, intimidatiou nD(l slaughter." Is this the true manning of tho Afcuw mid Courier? Will that journal pretend that the mere advocacy of a certain policy ondows a man with brutal instincts, and impels him to the commission of heinous crimes against the laws of his country '( Are nil mou to bo judged by this standard, when differing with the Newx and Courier ? We would remind the advocates of coi operation that impugning motives is a dan? gcrous weapon for them to handle, and that ?, it it> just as easy for the ''.straight-out" Democrat* to accuse thcui of being in league with Gov. Chamberlain to curry the Sta e by '"fraud and force." Is not the Governor at the head of the militia, which is armed with tho most approved weapons? To the absence of this armed militia at llnrnhurg, is there tho remotest probability that a collision between (be whites and black* would have occurred ? According to the official1' report of the Attorney-General, the militia company uudcr l>oo Adam.- has boon a mere skeleton uutil two months ago, when it was recruited to eighty men?and by whose order and undei whose direction'( From the earliest days ot the negro militia until the ' present time, thy Governor has boou deemed responsible for any outrages and excesses . committed by thorn, for it is tieoessary to j gain his consent before arms cau bo distribi uted or kept among the militia. Then, it ! the logic of the AVi and Courier prevails, | Gov Chamberlain contemplates overawing ; luwunuiiiiug me wnno peepWJOI rSOUtU j i Carolina by iho presence of armed and ex- I j citable uegroes, with the view of insuring i his reeloctiou, ami the advocates of co-op- I oration by the Democrats arc necessarily iuvolvod in this plan. Is there anything inoro absurd thau to c nuect the honest ad! voentoa of such eoop-sra.ioa with the ultoI rior plana of Gov. Chamberlain, nuloss it j bo the groundless charge against iho "unthinking musses'' vrno favor an opposite policy, made by tin </?</ ('onrier ? On the sl\ re of frau<l>, the case is equally strong against ihust who advise conperntiou with Gov.
