The following extract is taken from i speech recently delivered at Dayton, Ohio, by Hon. C. L. Vallandlgham : Depend upon it, gentlemen, no party whose only cementing element is a sym pathy of hatred, can ever be permanent in power, or even in existence. With large multitudes of men, this spirit of hate was the controlling motive throughout the late civil war, ?ind has continued to govern them at every step iu their et fort s at reconstruction. But with a smaller, yet far more dangerous class ofjpoliticians, the sole aim for the last three years has been the perpetua tion .of Republican rule, through the negroes of the. South. To this basest of motives and purposes the public good and the pacification of the country has been steadily sacrificed : and. worse yet. jdl constitutional limitation alio gcther disregarded. Signally defeated in their efforts to establish negro suffrage and equality in the North and West, they nave now impudently in their platform proclaimed that here each State shall regulate suffrage for itself, while at the South the elective franchise shall be determined by the Congress of the United States. Acting upon the double motive of hate and the desire to maintain partisan supremacy, tliey have disfranchised a large majority of the white population of the Southern States, and conferred upon the negroes, by Act of Congress, the right to vote ; and then at the point of thc bayonet, have proceeded to establish seven State Governments, controlled by negroes or white adventurers meaner than they mere sojourners, birds of passage, and very foul birds at that ; and have gone through the farce of admitting them into the Union and to the right of rep resentation ?n the Senate and the House, and full vote in the Electoral" College for President, In this manlier, gentle- j men. tlrey expect'to control the legisla tion aiid tl?e elections of the country, j And these ignorant, brutish negroes of : South Carolina and Elorida, and the other States, do now make laws and levy taxes and create public debt for you,, white men of Ohio ; and they ex pect to overrule your choice for Presi dent. . . Yes, gentlemen, under these Repub lican Reconstruction Acts, enforced by j an army for which you pay heavy taxes out of your hard earnings, half a mil lion of negroes in South Carolina, rein forced by some thousands of adventu rous white loafers from thc North and j West, will control as many electoral j votes as a million of white men in Ohio. Aye. and at this present moment the " Governor," so-called, of that State, elected by negroes, under an Act of Congress, and through the aid of your army, is a citizen of Ohio, having a le gal settlement here ; so that if he would become a pauper-and South Carolina is very poor now, and* no longer abie to* enrich her satraps-the prop er township in the county of Henry, in this State, could be compelled to maintain him as a public charge. And moreover, General Willard Warner, a noble confrere of his from Ohio, has, I observe, just been elected a United States-Senator from Alabama. These ?u-c the doings of the Republi can party, and if not marvelous in your eyes, they are at least costly to your pockets. These are a part of the bles sings over which the Chicago platform exults, and a continuance, and-, indeed, a multiplication of which they promise upon the election of General Ulysses S. Grant. 1 Now. gentlemen, suppose for a mo ment that the case were reversed, and the South had waged a successful- war of conquest against you here in the West, ami had compelled, by force and arms, the introduction of slavery here, and you surrendered in good faith, un der pledge, and promise of all other rights within the Union, under the Con stitution : and that when you had no further power to resist, a Southern '. Congress.had, at the point of the bayo net, forced constitutions, governments and laws upon you against your will, and that victorious and insolent South Carolina had sent up here the meanest and basest of her vagabond " Sand Hill" citizens with carpetbags in their hands, to represent you. the once free white laen of Ohio, in the Senate and House at the Federal Capital; and to usurp the places once filled by the Morrows, tfte McLeans, thc Corwins, the Ewings, the Hamers, and the Allens tot this glorious Commonwealth, what would have been i the emotions of "wrath -and indignatit j which would have burned within yoi bosoms?. And yet to just such indi nities are South Carolina and Virgini and their" sister States of the " O Thirteen," scorched and scarred all ov with the flames of the war of 1776, su jected by the false and degenerate soi of New England sires, who stood shon der to shoulder by them in that erar revolutionary conflict, which in DIOC and suffering, and with precious trea uros, first bought us our liberties. Ah ! but " these men are now rebe and traitors, and you, the Democrac; received them with open arras an gushing hearts to your recent Presidei tial Convention." Thank God, we di< and by none were they hailed with moi cordial welcome than by, not the blooc less, though bloodthirsty home loyalis of the war, but hy the gallant and.m ble heroes, the Hancocks, the Franklin the Ewings, thc Blairs, the Slo'cums an the Steedmans, who had met them i deadly conflict amid the sulphurov. canopy and shock of battle. We mea to have peace, instead ; we intend t restore the Union in fact, and to-da we know these men only as friends, fe! 1 citizens and brothers-the descent! s of the Washingtons, the Lees, th .amptons, the Sumters, the Marion and Prestons, the Haynes, the Lauren and others, who, sida by side, 6too< with the Hancocks, the -Adamses, thj Starks, the Putnams, the Gates and th Waynes of the North in the heroic ie vc lutionary struggle of '76,- or with thei .?ons and" grandsons fri thc latter con flict of 1S12, or the Mexican war o 1840-Americans all, whose fame is th patrimony of the whole country. Th i is peace ; tins is Union : this alone i the. blessed vision of the seers an< prophet* of an age gone by. One Con stitution, one Country, one Destiny! Dont Associate willi Mongrels. The Huntsville (Ala.) ??cmo?ratclose a long appeal to its fellow-citizens no to associate with or speak to a Mongrel as follows : " Neither our foes nor we arc playing pantomime. . We are enacting solemn enduring history, pregnant with weal oi woe to ourselves, our-families, our coun try, and our race. Shall we-k;an we injustice to ourselves, our families', oui race-live on terms of social intimacv with the white renegades, who are wo^li ing out our min ? Can we tip the si) wink, utter the jovial jest, touch tho so cial glass, break bread with them, give thom the right hand ol' fellowship while they, outstretching one hand in token of peace and friendship, are ready , with tho other, to give us the deadly thrust nf Joab? Can we laugh and joke with those who are principals, oi accessories, in any degree, in the crimes of undermining our social fabric; de stroying our personal liberties; subvert ing our government; ruining our for tunes ; desolating our land ; revelingin the. exercise of our dearest birthright*', of which they have robbed us ; and threatening our women with pollution, and all of us with indiscriminate massa cre ? No ! we cannot consistently with a high sense of duty, and a right ap preciation of our responsibilities. Let us, then, put all such enemies of thc human race in social Coventry ; hold ne social communion with them: give them unmistakable evidence, by ominous si lence, chilling indifference-if need be, indignant scorn, dignified reserve and contempt-that we have no disposition to be on terms of social familiarity with them. Society often has the power oi remedying or removing public evils, when an armed police or constabulary would prove ineffectual. Public opin ion is more potent than public law, and social ostracism ' more terrible than an a_riny with banners.'" -? ? ? - - A LAWYER'S TRICK-We have fre quently observed that many of our prominent lawyers are fond of dogs perhaps it is because they can. treat a dog-as some of them do a witness bawl at him and abuse him; and then make him answer to their call, and bark when they give the word. One ot' our lawyers had a fine dog stolen from him a few days ago, and he hit I upon a plan to get him back tit ti trifling expense. He put an advertisement in one of the papers offering a reward of ?11)0 for the return of the dog, which he described. Instead of putting his own name to the advertisement, he used the name of a friend. Before ten o'clock the next morning this friend received a call from a mau who lcd in the law yer's dog. " Here is your dog." said the mau, V I want the*$100 reward." " That is not my dog ; that dog be longs to Lawyer Brief, and if you dont wan't to be arrested for larceny, you had better take him home." The man took the dog to the lawyer and claimed thc reward. " That's my dog," said the lawyer ; he was stolen from mc ; I offered no reward for Kim; but I think I shall have you arrested for having stolen property in your possession." The man did not wait to be arrested, but left suddenly, and the lawyer recov ered his dog.-Exchange. 1 ________ ? ? ?? How TO CATCIT RATS.-For catching rats in a cheap and effective manner, we recommend the following: Cover a common barrel with stiff, stout paper, tying the edge around tdie barrel ; place a board so that the rats may have easy access to the top, sprinkle cheese par ings or other "feed", for the rats on the paper for several days, until they begin ! tj believe that they have a right to their daily rations from this source. Then place in the bottom of the barrel a piece of rock, about six or seven inches high, filling withwater until only enough of it projects above the water for one rat to lodge upon. Now replace the jia per, first cutting a cross in the middle, and the first rat that comes on the bar rel top goes through into the. water, and climbs on the rock. The paper comes back to place, and the second rat follows the first. Then begins a fight for the possession ol' the dry place on the stone, the noise of which attracts the rest, who phare tho same fate.-tiewntific Farmer. Shall Wc Pay State Taxes ?**p Taxation is the contribution of a] " tion of. our property for., the protec of the remainder. . . Where no protection exists, titer? no obligation to pay taxes." Montesqieu mentions among those can ses which render the imposition of tax??; unjust, "the charms of ansMraordinaiiw '^project." No language could descrijj^.? more vividly, the precise oondition:^? affairs in these Southern-States. - " extraordinary projecfSn history ever equalled in folly and crime,? the insar?jhj attempt by a fanatical party to revere- j the order of nature, and to place thy ) I inferior above the superior race. Iw stead of protection, wc have proscrij^ tion ; instead of peace, quiet and eon-, tentment, we have excitement, lawless ness, and the continual effort to produce; collision and bloodshed. There is norh- - ing in the present rendition of our State': which justifies the payment of one dol lar of "taxes. The present State government is the;, creation of fanaticism and force. The. people who own all the property, and$ possess all the..intelligence, education and virUie of tho State had no Land inj it. Shall they sustain it. with their, money? . . This is tlie practical question now t& be decided. The illegal assembly at Columbia are bankrupt. They cannot, raise money on credit ; cannot give valuej to" the bills receivable ; must look tc| taxation to support their wretched gov?* ernment, and what is more important tol them-to pay their own ' per diem,' andj tlie salaries of their hirelings.' Shall weS furnish them with the means of carrying} on this scheme of plunder? We mostf emphatically answer, no ! Let -the ne4 groes and strangers from the North looks elsewhere for aid. They can obtainj none from' thc people of this State.-* "Sumter News. ? Bait him with a White Woman,'* The terrible, shocking, nameless crimes of the Southern niggers, are a mattet? for grave reflection, not only of th? leading minds of this country, fyut o& all Christendom; To speak out plainly,' rapes upon white females by brutal ne groes are of daily occurrence. Horace} (xreeley and Henry Ward Beecher, more? than anv .uer two individuals in this '.j. are tin' authors of these rape3"' i\ot long ago, Ward 'Beecher said m ?f speech. " the way to maintain a man in a position is to take one ' step beforc? him ; being crafty, I desire to capti'e^ him by guile : take a black inan^;.lit m him with a white- wouian,..anf^?-jfh1isrP you will catch the black man." Wa? rhere ever a more atrocious or horrible "sentiment uttered by ' a human hoing, much less a clergyman, and yet this debauched scoundrel calls himself a Christian teacher ! Pandering to the an imal passions of a half brute, covertly inviting rapes and murders, has had its fruits. Nigger outrages upon white fe males are of weekly occurrence, and Beecher and Greeley continue to preach np thv doctrine of bating the black man with a white woman, while Christen dom looks on with horror, but nobody moves to stay the dreadful crimes. Democratic voters, shrink not from your duty. Let the consequences be what they may, Mongrelism must be crushed out at all hazards. The election efl Seymour and Blair will do it.-iV. Y. Day Book. A HINT TO EMPLOYERS.-The eman cipation of our slaves has worked many inconveniences to our people, but-none so marked in its personal discomforts as those which flow from the constant changes in our domestics. No house keeper has any assurance that the ser vants of to-day will bc at their place to-morrow. Every thing is uncertainty '-when a servant is employed, no one, such is the demoralization, regards it as permanent. As house-keepers wo live in constant dread of waking up each morning minm " help." And this state of things is peculiar to the South. No other people on earth are thus annoy ed with the uncertainty of servants. Nor does the fault rest with thc ser vants themselves. The fault rests sole ly with our people, they " love to have it so." Day after day we hear of one family tempting the servants of another to leave, Such conduct is decidedly small and contemptible. It is indica tive of bad breeding, and 'is conclusive of the faot that the offender knows but little of good manners. Ae long as this abomination is indulged in we shall have trouble with our domestics. Tho poor, weak creatures are naturally fond of change, and as this temptation is con stantly thrust at them they will be everlastingly changing. Our people can remedy all this inconvenience by a lit tle common sense, mixed and shaken up with considerable good manners.-Char. Courier. Josn BILLINGS ON PILLS.-Josh Bil lings has been experimenting with pills, and certifies as follows : " I never hav used enny uv ' Doctor Emanuel's Liver Consoling and Kidney Encouraging Pills,' and therefore kant tell you how influenshal they am, but cf you are looking after a pill az mild az a pet lamb, az searching as a fine tooth comb, buy ' Doctor Ringbone's Silent Parambulators,' 27 in a box, sold by all respectful drnggers. These pills don't phool round, bul. attend strictly tew biz ness, and are az good in the dead of nite az an alarm clock. The, Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says : " It is now un derstood that if General Grant is elect ed President, one of Iiis first movements will be to call France to account for the establishment of the empire in Mexico. This is an old sore with Grant, and it is thc one thing concerning which he may be said to have a " policy." He is known to have been in favor of driving the French troops from Mexico by force, and would have been very glad to use what he had learned to consider as ' his' army-for that purpose immediately after the surrender of Lee and the close of ourwais" 1 Lei it be Understood. "VI? is time the American people were .beginning to understand each other. It j is an evident fact that the Jacobins are : calculating upon the inauguration of Grant on the 4th of March, by fair means or foul. This is made unmistak able by the passage of the recent act douching the electoral vote of the South ern States, the message of the President {vetoing which, will be found in another column. K I In addition, we notice it given out 'from certain quarters, that the vote of 'Kentucky and Maryland shall be ex cluded from the electoral college, if ne cessary, on the ground that the four teenth amendment-denying represen tation, based, to any extent, on ' the ne gro population, unless the right of suf frage be conferred on that race-will so operate as to render nugatory the votes of these States. Then, again; we hear of ultra and blustering Radicals .propo-ing to "bet that Grant will be [inaugurated," and if asked as to the ?natter of election, they " don't care a ; d-n about that," &c. These and numerous other signs of ] ?tile times indicate that the Rampers do o,t intend to give up their lease of pow f-iwithout resorting to the extreme verge -of bluster and braggadocio at least ; and, tlie people manifest a spirit of sub ission, tiley will continue in place, lough to do so they must utterly sub ?rt the government, defy the voice of j ie people, and spit upon the popular ll. Further, it is evident that they jelieve themselves competent to eifectu their purpose, ana to inaugurate rrant, though Seymour shall receive no well-informed man doubts that he rill-a clear majority of the legal votes the people, and be entitled to an elec ion at the hands of the electoral college. We are not much disposed to wonder their confidence in their .own omnip otence, or rather, their utter contempt sr the will of thc people, for they have ?jone on and on, from one step to anoth sr, in their scheme of revolution, and have violated provision after provision af- the Constitution with., impunity, ?rushed out right after right ol' the peo ple without rebuke, defied the legally ^pressed will of vast majorities, by the ejection of their representatives, and ic admission of their own pimps and ?tools, almost without protest. In short, ke the surgeon in the use of caustics, io, by slight and gradual applications .first, produces numbness with but ijttle pain, and then applies his more jl?ht compositions with no sensible feet upon the deadened nerves, so R?^i^m^?Cstep bypt'ep; rubbed thrr pcopie of power without resistance, un til it concludes the victim now to he helpless, or at least indifferent, and pre pared to submit to any outrage rather than provoke any trouble. Upon this point it were well that they should be undeceived. The American people are not y et the abject slaves those gentlemen imagine them. The country is' indeed tired of war and its conse quences, and will sacrifice almost any thing short of the right to Constitution al freedom rather than resort to violent remedies, but there are ? evils greater than war. and among them is the de struction of liberty-the deprivation of rights dear as the memory, and rendered sacred by the blood of the patriot fathers. Thc white men of the nation do not intend to bc sold into vassalage. And this point had better be understood now, ere it be too late. If the people, by the fairly expressed will of a majority of thc white men in the several States, choose Grant for President, well and good ; the minority will acquiesce, and he will be inaugurated ; but unless such be the case, wc notify all the minions, and those entertaining " great expecta tions" of an inauguration, nolens volent, that it will not be allowed. The Democracy have high hopes, nay. unfaltering confidence, that they will elect Seymour ?ind Blair, and if they elect they intend to inaugurate thon.''at all hazards, and at any co-it." This is precisely what the nomination of Frank Blair, at New York, after the promul gation of his. letter, meant. If the Rad icals are not satisfied with war, let an attempt be made to defeat the voice of the white men of thc United States, ex pressed in the election of Seymour and Blair in November, and we guarantee them all they may desire in that line. Elect Grant at the polls if you can; but beware of. any attempt at a coup d'etat in the matter of inauguration.-Frank fort (Ky.) Yeoman. Not long since, a green-looking Ver monter walked into the office of TJr. C. T. Jackson, the New York chemist. "Dr. Jackson, I presume?" said he. "Yes, sir." "Are you alone?" "Yes, sir." '-'May I lock the door ?" and he did so; and having looked behind the sofa and satisfied himself that no one else was in the room, he placed a large bundle done up in a yellow bandana on the table and opened it, " There, Doc tor, look at that." "Well," said the Doctor, " I see it." " What do you call that, Doctor?" " I call it iron pyrites." "What!" saidtheman, "isn'tthat stuff ,gbld?" "No," said the Doctor, "it's good for nothing; it's pyrites;" and putting some over the fire in a shovel-it evaporated up the chimney. "Wal," ?aid the poor fellow with a woe-begone look, " there's a widder woman up in our town who has awhole hill full ofthat, and I've been and married her."' POVERTY.-A great many persons calling themselves Christians and pro fessing to follow the meek* and lowly Jesus, shun the poor and needy and often spurn and insult them because they are poor, as if ?onie sort of dis grace attached to poverty. Such is not the case. There is no dishonor in pov erty, since it may be purely the result of misfortune which no sagacity could avert. Men or women lose none of their manly or womanly qualities in being poor. For all this it is no desirable state to be in. It is said to develop some of our attributes. Does it not also very often develop some others'not the best ? The old saw, that it is no disgrace but very inconvenient to be poor, is true. The state of competency , is much better even than to be wealthy, j It is the- half-way condition that best develops humanity and gives us our I best symmetry. . ? j A PIONEER" PoMOLOGiST.-^-About two i years ago Mr. Derby, the well-known i New York publisher, purchased a fruit I farra at Aiken, ,S. C.. the propertv of Mr. Marley, for $12,000 or $15,000. ' Mr. j Derby moved his family'to the farm, ! and went vigorously to work to make his investment productive. At first 1 there were many difficulties to overcome, but Mr. Derby persevered, and .we are assured that his profit has averaged $500 per month during the.whole period I of his possession. This handsome income was derived from the sale of peaches, apples and grapes-the last having turn ed out to bo very profitable. There is still muchtobedone in the way of secur ing proper accommodation and quick steamship passage to the Northern cities before thc fruit trade can reach its most remunerative point; but it is estimated that iii a good year, with fair shipping facilities, the crop of Mr. Derby's tarni will sell for at least $12,000. In addition to securing so sound and valuable an investment, Mr. Derby has recruited his health, which was delicate, and is now said to be of the opinion that Aiken is the healthiest place on this continent, and may be made one of the most prosperous. The gentleman whom we have men tioned was not a practical farmer. Nor had he any experience in pomology. But ho was an intelligent man of busi ness, and gave the trees of old Aiken an opportunity of doing their very best. The success which Mr. Derby has met with will, we hope, stimulate others to follow Iiis example. Industrious, hard- working men could soon make the face of the country smile like a garden ; and none could do it better, and more to their own advantage, than some of our steady, thrifty Gormans, who have the knack of making'a money machine of every undertaking to which they put their hands.-Charl cai nv Neus. "?WE'LL ALL MEET AGAININ THE. MORNING.*'-Such was the exclamation of a dying child, as thc rod rays of the sun-set streamed through tho casement: " Good-by, papa, good-by ! Mamma has come forme to-night. Don't cry, papa, we'll all meet again in the morning!" It was as if an angel had spoken to tliat father, and his heart grew lighter un der his burdon ; for something assured him that his little one hud gone to Him who said:- ."Sulfer little children to! come- unto ??,. for otouch.i-s.-the Kingr dom of Heaven." There is something cheerful to all who are in trouble in this world : " We'll all meet again in ;the morning." It rouses up the fainting soul like a trumpet-blast, and frightens away forever the dark shapes thronging the avenues of the outer lifo. Clouds may gather upon our path, disappoint ments gather around us like an army with banners; but all this cannot de stroy the hope within us, if we have this motto upon our lips: " All wi! bo right in tho morning."

A little fellow ol' some three sum mers had presented to him three little sugar dolls. As he had already stuffed more than was proper, his mamma had made him promise that he would eat no more.

To My'Colored Brethren :-Like y< I was once ii slave, and am now' fi ? and enjoy thc privilej&pf voting. 0 freedom is worth, nothing tc us. huh ! wc can live, here in peace and in I quiet enjoyment of our rights. In t contest for the Presidency both sid want our votes. The Radicals say i ought to vote with them, because th set us.free-and gave us the right to vc The Democrats, say we ought to vc with^heiii, because they own all t landjjW property and are able to he UH, irml-'?-e willing to be our friends, we will show by our votes that we a not their enemies. They say that tl Radicals are their enemies, and, if v join the Radicals, they will be compelh to treat us as enemies. They say tl Radicals have taken from them the rig! to vote, and aro forcing them to pay t the taxes, and that if we vote with tl Radicals we will be as muck their en mies as the Radicals are. Now, my colored brethren, we ha) got to decide which way we will vot I have tried to find the truth of th matter, and after careful examinado I have made up my mind that it is tl interest of all colored men to vote wit .the Democrats, and I want to give yo briefly the reasons why I think so. I have found out that it is not tri that the Radicals fought to set tis ire but that they offered to the Rebel whilst the war was going on, that they would cease the war, they migl hold us in slavery forever. The rebe refused to do it, and fought on. Tl Radicals found they couldn't whip tl: rebels without declaring us free an taking us into their armies. When the did this, they whipped the rebels. ?: you see, my colored brethren, the Rad cals did not fight to set us free, but the set us free to got our help in whippin the rebels. Instead of our being it debted to the Radicals for set ting us frei they are indebted to us for helping thei to whip the rebels ; which they foun they couldn't do without our help. \V are indebted to the rebels for not lavin down their arms when Mr. Lincoln ol feted, that if they would, they migl] keep us in slavery. If they had don as Mr. Lincoln and the Radicals wislrei we, my colored brethren, would be slaw to-day. I know tho rebels didn't refus to lay down their arms because the wanted us to be free-no more did th Radicals fight because they wanted u to be free. After they got info the wa they couldn't help from letting us ge our freedom. . So yon see thc Radical are entitled to no credit for setting u free-they had to set tis free ; otherwis the rebels would have whipped them al the time, as they had been doing tanti we were set free. The truth is, m; colored brethren, that the Radicals ar indebted to us for setting them free; rbi if the rebels hard continued to whip then as they did at Bull Run, and had the; gone up North with their armies, the; would have made slaves of the whol Radical Yankee nation. Eut we pre vented the rebels from continuing t whip them, and, therefore, we wer richly entitled to our freedom for sav ing them from final defeat. But thc Radicals say they gave us th right to vote, and, therefore, we ough to vote with them. Now, my'coioret brethren. I want to show you that ther is no more truth in this statement thai there is in the statement that they tough to set us free. At the same time that wc were se free, on the 22d of February, 1865, ? Legislature was elected by the whit? Radicals, and power was given to tha Legislature to decide who should vote and who should not. They mettogeth er at Nashville to decide, and they die decide, that none but loyal white mei should vote. So you sec, my coloree brethren, these Radicals, at that time did'nt think eolored men ought to vote Tiiey found out, in a short time, that : majority of the loyal white voters wen opposed to tho Radicals, and would tun Brownlow and all the other Radical out of office. So they called the Legis lature together again, and took away the right of voting from a great many loyal white men, who had gotcertificatei to vote, but they still confined the righi of voting to white men-although il was proposed to let the colored men vote, yet the Radicals in the Legisla ture lefused, and said that colored men ought not to vote. After a while thej discovered that still a majority of the white loyal voters were opposed to the Radicals; and thereupon the Legisla' ture got together for the third time, and, then it was thatlheyconsented tc let the colored men vote, but because they found thatthey world all be turned out of oliice unless they could get help from the colored men. Now you see, my* colored brethren, that the Radicals at last gave us the right to vote to save themselves from being turned out of office-just as-they gave us our freedom during the war, to save themselves from being whipped by the rebels. . Now, my colored brethren, I don't know how you may feel, but, as to mv I self, I don't feel that I am Under -any ' obligations to the Radicals for giving rae the right to vote, when I know .that they gave it to me, not because they thought I ought to have it, but "because they "believed if they didn't do it, they would be turned out of office ; and be cause they believed that you and I were so ignorant that-they could make'us be lieve they were our friends, and would do great thiiigs for us; when, in truth, they only wanted our votes, to enable them to hold on to the offices and thus lill their pockets with public money. If you have any doubt whether I ; have stated the truth to you, just goto ; any white man, that you know lo be honest, and to have no office that he I wants to hold on to, and ask how these ! things are. I know you will find that ' I have stated facts, and if you are son i Bible, you will feel under no obligation j to Radicals, either for setting you free, or for giving you the right to vote. I will, in another letter, show you th? I reasons why I think you and I ought to cast our votes, in tho future, with the , people with whom we havo been raised, .o ; and nearly all of whom arc now Demo crats. , .

The Scaiawag as lie l's. * We lay before our* readers a fair pic ture of that vile animal, asneen some times dodging round our street corners. Tile picture is drawn for a Georgia paper, but is quite applicable to thc two oi:. three scalawags living within the limits of this District : " Our scalawag is the local leper'of the community. Unlike T the carpet bagger, he is a native, which is sc much the worse; Once . he was respec ted in his circle; his head was level, and he could look his neighbor in the face. Now, possessed of the itch of office and the salt rheum of Radicalism, ho is a mangy dog. slicking through the ?tllev*, haunting thc Governor's office, defiling with tobacco juice thc steps oi (heliouse, stretching his I?RV carcass in the sun. on Capitol Square, or the benches of the Mayor's Court, ortho police station. " He waiteth for the troubling of tho political waters, to the end that he maj step in and be healed of his itch by th? ointment of office. ForbnHcelie 'burns,' as a toper 'bums' for vh? satisfying dram. T?r office, yet in dim prospective, he h.'ith bartered principle and ; respecta bility ; hath abandoned business and ceased to labor with his hands, but em ploys his feet kicking out -boot heels against lamp post and corner curb, while discussing the question of office. "Tho normal condition of the officed scalawags is seedy. Mayhap, there hangs about him some remnant of grey cloth, thar flaunts him a reminder of the Confederate era, before he fell from political grace, and was changed into a scalawag. His obsequious meekness, and self abasement in the presence of tho power that confers office, cause the gorge to rise in disgust at the recreancy of human nature as developed in a full blown scalawag. " Eager to belie the past, that ho may grasp otiieo in the future, he hath cuma handy fur the cause he once ..-spoused, and lauds the loyalty of himself in sea son and out of season. Where half a dozen are gathered in discussion, there ? is to be found our scalawag in their . . midst, conspicuous because of his dirty linen duster and broad brimmed hat. The vocabulary of his knowledge-box is very contracted, and he sings but few tunes, but these are loyal ones. In his [ estimation'every feature of reconstruc tion is altogether lovely ; the negro emi nently fi,1; for a voter, but not to hold office. That is reserved for scalawags like himself. " The scalawag rewarded with office, blooms into a new existence. He puts on good clothes, kicks his mildewed duster to the devil, shaves up, trims his straggling beard, and oils his malted shock of hair. If he is boarding, he moves into a hired house, drives a hired horse, and begins to splurge. To the sneers of the unrewarded 'bummers' his only response is the elevation of his nasal protuberance. He is an office holder, and provided he can give bond as required, he sticks ; if he cannot, he is officially kicked, and relapses into his original condition of a scalawag again. " The tribe of scalawags in this State is not numerous, but its members are . very pestiferous, like the frogs of Egypt, that crawled into the ovens and knead ing troughs of the people. Gold in s partan burg. . Our friend, J. W. Hardy, merchant of this town, delighted our eyes-not our pockets-with the sight of,a jar, containing about one and a quarter pound of pure gold-worth about two hundred -and ten dollars ingold. This gold had been obtained from a vein mine on North Pacolett river in this District, by Capt. II. G. Robertson and Sons, in eight days. Their mill cost them about eight hundred dollars/and is yielding them a profit ot' about five hundred dollars a month, The gold they are running out, runs considerably over the average in fineness cf other American gold. They have a four stamp battery iu operation on North Pacolett river, and arc doing well. The vein thev are now working, is small, but yields a handsome profit. The elder son of Captain Robertson spent some twelve years in the mines of California and Arazona Territory, and ?ay? this country when fairly developed, will compare favorably with the mines of the West, These gentlemen are about extending their operations, and will soon open other veins, and put up mills, which, if they meet his expectations, will add new interest to this section of the State. Capt. Robertson authorizes us to say that, on application, he will give his services gratis in prospecting the lands of others. This is certainly very liberal and patriotic on .his part and we. hope that his generous offer will be duly appreciated by ou* People. Who knows, but what our good old Iron District, may become at last tho Golden District of glorious old South Carolina. The Captain informs us, that he knows of spme dozen more vein mines in our .District. Weiiear of some others who have made discoveries, and are as yet, working only on a smail scale. Let every body keep a bright, lookout-who knows what may happen ?-Spartan. SEASONABLE CONS.-At the Theatre, the other night the following conun drums " brought down (he House."
