BEFORIW It ia an undeniable fad that Ute Republican'parlyol' this State during ' the administration of Scott and Moses had become fearfully corrupt, and exaggerated accounts of the ill success of thc party in this Stale was beginning to react upon the national Republican^ party. The pledge ol reform with which thc parly solicited the support of thc people of this ?State in thc last campaign have been faithfully fulfilled and translated into actions in a manner calculated to strengthen thc Republican party. Tb.et.rial and verdict against Parker and thc recent conviction of Senator "Walker show conclusively that fraud and corruption is not exempt from merited punishment, though thc laws arc administered by Republican oW natte tiary ves'c.'lav, lr ! ; ? . : This execution ol tho Jaw is just ann proper, but will our carping co tem poraries be fair enough, in noticing lilia item of "Stale news" to add '..(Wt-they were tried iu^ Republican county, by a jury of "whom eleven wn.-n honers-colored ho ; no faint-hearted .. s been even lorin I S flavors of true lui i .. nistraiion of the ....va. Color. The following is an extract from an article in the National Monitor., und is worthy thc thoughtful perusal of every colored man : "If they would be white, they have only to sei/.c upon the neem i rein eil ls of the white man with thc baud ol industry, and then do as while men do. When thc race shall have done this, it will find no occasion to bc concerned about its color. The law Of equal rights gives thc black man the same right to object lo thc. white man's color that it gives to tho white man to object to thc black man's. But how, much disposition has tho black man to raise such a foolish ob jection in the face of the dod he pro fesses to serve? Just so much dis position, and no more, will the white man have to object to thc. color of thc black man when, in intelligence, wealth and piety thc black man be comes what he. ought to be. The Neio$ and Courier is authority for the following paragraph : "firent preparations are making for thc Stale fair in Columbia, in November.
