Editort Pre*s anil Banner : The progressive nnd able manner In which you conduct your paper causes me to say a, few remarks commendatory of your course: J notice that you spare no pains to get items of news before the public as soon as possible, nnd this fact will always make a successful journal. The great labor which you bestow on making a full report of dilleient meetings, certainly brings Its reward. Your paper is a county paper and you liavo acted wisely in uevoung ji-urcoiumns totho.se tilings which* strictly concern the people of our county Anong other things,(I would mention that your rrports of our County Conventions, the lianquetof the Medical Association and the full and Impartial report of the affair anion: the students and the Professors of Krskinc College, have been praised by many In the highest terms. I really think you could have ? disposed of several hundred extra copies containing your account of the banquet. The correspondence which you have established for your paper throughout the county add very much to its interest. As long as you continue your zeal and progressive method of conducting your paper you will very Justly have It classed as one of the best weeklies In the State, and one that has more the appearance of a daily than a weekly paper.

"pili'iblc ignorance," until the opening of the cuinnaljrn, which probably will l>e after the nomination, and M liieh in this District is virtually an election. This appears to mea crafty dodge, and will not satisfy his constituency, who wish to hear Ills reply before the nomination, and have pointed out to them the "pitiublciynormwe" of his course which he charges me with. They wish to know whether he is a Democrat or not ? Whether the new pnrty which he favors is to take its principle from the teachings of ( lay. Webster, Calhoun or (jeneial I.elJue? and* why he wished to exclude."South Carolina from it ? They wish to know if he received a salary of $1,500 ns Secretary of the State .Agricultural and Mechanical Socity, to be paid him for raisins; a fund for the Joint Stock Axillary I Association and his services as i-ccret.try j when he made no efforts to raise said fund? I They alsowish to know whether, duringthe ; time wnen ne ?u* recti vnr.i no w.m? iv.-> retnry of the Society, he did not receive compensation therefore l>y dividing tlie profits with ihe venders of siver-ware from whom ho purchased the premiums for the fairs ? and whether he did not state to one of them, on making such proposition, l-thnt he did not intend to work/or nothing''?all of this without the knowledge of the Society, which commended him for lils zeal and patriotism in giving his time and energies to the great Interests of agriculture, and for which disinterestedness the farmers of the District have elevated him to his present exalted position. These questions may betray a "pliable. it7noravee" of his career, hut many 01 Ills con. st I men ts would iike to have them answered at an early day and before the nominating , convention meets.

It is the first time in the history of Ihis State (ami piobably the first In any civilized land,) that one oecupyimr the exalted position in wnieh tiie people! of Sou!h Carolinaliavetunforlunntcly) placed j you tins disgraced and degiaded that position by making an unprovoked, vncuHed-for, basely false and eomnrdly attack upon a private etfiztn, who lias tamely and willingly submitted j to the laws, awaits and courts a full in vest ism-1 tion ot his conduct and asks for nothing more \ from his countrymen than a fair trial and ev- j en-handed Justice. You, sir, have prostituted ' your high olliec to array public opinion against me and to have Jttdgn ent passed upon me without a hearing. Your course was "unprovoked and uncalled-for," as I had never expensed to any one the unbounded contempt 1 had for you. Your attack is "cowardly," for you assail me now when I am In the fetters of j t lie law. Yourattaek is "basely and malic-j io'usly false," for while you profess to "know I nothing of the merits of the case," you care-' i fully misrepresent (vml to ?>>/ injury) the facts | you do know, and you have the brazen el-J > frontery to use the words "swash-buck ler" and "border rufilanism." Your past record should I severely admonish you against, the use of such expressions. In addition to your other qualities of heart and soul, you may add that of the basest ingratitude. A short time after you hud completed your campaign as a pedler of bogus lottery tickets, you piteous/.?/ ajiprntI fd to me to aid you in removing the barnacles | and tilth you bad collected upon you in the hog wallow. You had no claims upon nie, but In pity for you I generously urged my inl/ior?f friends to give you a fair hxtrinrf bi/orr I von were condemned. They await thafhear inu" now,General, but doubtless will wait in vain. .Subsequent to this you cunningly, adroitly and very politely solicited the privilege of Inserting your hands Into my pockets, but I politely declined the distinguished honour. ("an that, be the sore that chales you now General ? or lias your intuitive sharpness enabled you to read iny unexpressed thoughts, and Unit you arc now my enemy, for the reason that you know J believe you to be unscrupulous. heartless, totally selfish, cruel and cowardly? I could not expect or wish, General, thut 'i man of your soulless character could understand orinany manner appreciate the motives tb.at actuate and sustain me in my present difficulties, nor would I hope for sympat hy from a man who has recently been branded in public as a liar and who only nought redress by returning the offensive epitiiet. As you have heretofore 011 all occasions been for sale to friend or foe.

I I)r. F. F. Gary. Dr. F. F. Clary sold In substance an follows: I congratulate you my fellow citizens that you meet to-day under such auspicious circumstance". Never in the history of the great Democratic party have the signs been so propitious for success. Von are again .summoned to engage in the contest of a great National and state campaign. The prosperity of the country, ttie perpetuation of Democratic principles, free government, and home rule are the issues. In this election we have the choice of liberty or desnotism, there is no middle ground, except the sham that precedes empire. The Iieniocratie party has ever been true to the best interests of the people, to trie constitution and to the rights of Suites. No people liuvc greater cause 10 support nm w inocratlc party than the people of South Cnrollnii. when wo look back upon the past ami call to mind the horrors which belongcdto the dark days of Itci>uh:icaii rule, when they plundered our people wUhoiitscrnple.busiiie** was prostrate, and a swarm ol olllee holders devoured our substance and left usalma-t destitute. It is no marvel that we are resolved. at all hazards to prevent a return of the Radicals into power. '1'lierc are somethings that cannot !>e done twice,?this is one of them, It borders on the miraculous, consi'Il eritig what we have endured, that we arc recovering from our losses, and that we a e on the high road to something like our former prosperity. The Republican party in their ett'orts to keep us in subjection have been bold, rcckleas and unscrupulous, hut again-t it all we have held our own and so far resisted all their assaults. i i.. 11.i< we must arain Mauri shoulder to shoulder, we cannot a I l ord to si! J (tow n and trust to die enthusiasm of ?7<i to win I the victory. In '70 the c<jji test was close and | bitterurid* for the first time In the history ot jour country, we were compelled to witness tho soldier, the cannon nnd bayonet, at the cmint of an electoral vote :ind the Inaiiylira! Hon of a fraudulent President. This Is somej thing else tnnt cannot be done twice, i l>r. Gary here reviewed the action of the I two con volitions which have lately met, and | made a vivid comparison of their platform.' i and candidates, lie congratulated the people j that (Jrant had been rebuked in his aspirations for empire, and that "we have the nope of Hancock and peace, one constitution, out country nnd one destiny." He also pi Id n glaring tribute to Gencial \V. S. Hancock comparing him to our own General I.ee, ami j spoke of him as a soldier statesman, whosi ; sword was never sheathed ouring war, noi drawn during peace, whose solicitude for tin supremacy of thecivll over military law wa? attested hy conduct as memorable as his ex jploitsiu war. He satd his victories made hln I great in war, but hissUitesmarishlp made tifit' | renowned in peace. Peace has her victories | but we have no instance of a greater or grand ! er victory than his refusal after the war to.ln J flict the rule of the iron hai)d,imd tlicroby bio j.out'tlie last vestige of liberty left to conquer ert people. He deliberately placed his sword beneath tho constitution ami laws of his country, thus rising superior to the voice of ambl-j tlou or the prompllngsof resentment. Wo. are proud of our candidates and their declara-j; lion of principles. If such ineu as Hancock n and Knglish cannot defeat such men as Gar- J i Held and Arthur, It will be a sud commentary 1 upon the intelligence of the people, and we J may well tremble for the future liberties of " this country.

The process isj slow, and ll Is wise that the mass of voters should, be men of experience. Kemcmbcr one result of the war. I Several thousand men in this County wcrcl | made voters. They had very little knowledge. They had no experience. They exercised their right to decide questions of the greatest Importance. What was the conscquencc? Life lias been put in deadly peril.

They will gather wisdom from their mothers. They will read the liis, tory of their country. In that history they will see the consequence of every vote that . has been taken since 177(1, and with that , knowledge in his possession he will make a voter who knows what lie is doing.

Let me plead my 1 rise! Hear my petition for a longer life." Death said: "Speak on, and let me liaar your ease. I do mnictlmes relent, for a season, at least." Said l lie young man : "In the first place, I think you have eomc ,00 soon for me. I have Just started life, and here you seo my young wife, and here In my an our little babe.

"Yes.," ftnswcred Death, who eyeing his old ncquaintancf, added : "I have come for you, as I promised." "Promised!" said the old man. "Yes, you promised to warn me beforehand by sending me three messengers before you yourself would come in person, and I have not seen one of them." "1 sent them," said Drnth, "and If you did not heed them, it was not my fault." "When did you send your messengers for I have not the faintest recollection of their coming?" rejoined theohl man. "I sent then," answered Death; and If they enme quietly, and gently, reminded you in looks and by touches, you should have heeded their silent but yet expressive admonitions." "K.xplaln yourself," said the old man, "fori do not understand. You talk in riddles or fables." "Knslly enough done," said Death.
