It is imp sdble to treat u sn"'j ct of such serious im'ort as this, without using plain und strong language. Wc live here, our lam i lies live herc, and we expect to remain here, whatever may be the form of government. We feel interested in the welfare and reputa tion of a State, whose pe jple is thus ruthless Jv as-ailed. We f el it a duty to ourselves, to do ail in our power to refute tho slander which this proclamation contains. And when ono who claims to b* *' no Reptblican Gov ernor, but Governor of the whole people," upon the testimony of " reports daily receiv ed" from persons of whose character be knows nothing, deliberately charges ui with rcsi tancelo the laws, cold-blooded murder, ai other crime* o? the most heinous charaeti we almost fe.d provoked into lungu.tgu nw strong than elegant. For we do most el phaticallj contradict -the truth of the inf? manon upon which, these charges are base so far as this county is concerned. There has not been a ?tingle instance of i sistance to the laws in Union County. There have, been only two homicides sin January last ; one, a negro killed by a rregi upon sudden quarrel; thc other, a white m killed by a white man, in a dispute abo their crup-both wholly disconnected frc politics-the opposing parties in each ca being of the same political faith. '?here'has been ito case ol u families fore to abandon their homes and property by fe of violence." The authority ot tho officers of the Sta Government in. this County hus not bei " openly derided and denied." " Threats of violence and death are" JJ " uttered against prominent members of tl Rcpub'ican party, if they attempt to visi this "district for the purpose of discussing I I tical questions of the day." Ou the cu trary, many of the Republican leaders in tl State have been herc, have'delivered politic addresses, und gone away unharmed. Radical meeting was held here ou Saturdi last, atleu le 1 hy ui inv white met;, ai speeches were m ide by Lucius Wiuibush, Cuu?ter, and other members of thc ?Legis1 turo, at which (hero was no disturbance u< interruption, but everything passed eil'quiet au J orderly. '. Dec! rations arc" not "made by pcrsoi calling themselves Democrats, of their detc minatioa nut to permit their politic.il opp tients to vote at the ensuing election." Firearms have been introduced ; but G> emu- Scott bas been infirmed over and ov< again, thai they were not introduced for tl purpose of controlling thc electim, but Wei intended solely for protection against tl armed bands of negroes, which he know have long been parading hero. " The public.highways ar.)" not "pickete and pair lied by armed men." And lhere is not " a systematic effort, ti intimidation and abuse, to deter colo! ed in? from the exercise of the elective franchise ; unies? it be by mon belonging lo the piny? which Governor Scott gives such utunistaki ble signs of being a zealous member. There have not even been any ca?es, wit us, of that incendiarism, now so prevulef al! over the State ; but of winch this M Got ernor of the whole people" takes no nolie iu his proclamation. We l?av> thus denied the charges seriaiin and we defy the proof. No civil officer i this County has complained to Governc Scott of obstruerions in the execution of th law. lt' private individual bave complain?, on behalf of s dil effi ors. Governor Scott, nc nuil other official, has ci cr applied to one sin (fe eitil rffixr in Union Conni;/ to know the complaint was just. We deft' contradi tiou. ii-i it llesolccd.

FKLLOW-CITIZKNS : As members of you: State Executive Committee-u.body whie! represents neatly every white citizen ol Soutl Carolina-we feel it oar duty to invoke youi earnest . (forts in the C.iuso of peace arid tin preservation of order. We beg you to unit? with us in reprobating these recent acts o violence, resulting in thc death o? Martin Randolph and Nance, by which a few lawle.v and reckless men have brought discredit OJ the character of our people, though provoca' lion ia lin sc eases may have b. en given. Nt cause eau prosper which calls murder to iti assistance, or which looks to assassination foi success. " The idea of assassination," saic Gc-orge Mcjhi?ie, " is so absolutely abhorrent to all the feelings, the Christian feelings ol modern tim ec, and of such pernic ious ten dency, that 1 feel it to be my duty thus une qn;vo-ally to express my u.lcr abhorrence ol any proceeding that may have the remotest tendency to suggest it. Such a course is not only < bnoxious to the abhorrence of every honorable man, from its moral atrocity, but Iront its political tendency." Listen to the words td* that patriot, which seems to come from Li-? grave, to warn tht people whom he loved so devotedly. Weean ad-J nothiug lo the weight .of this great au thority. We eau only appeal to you, to sup port thc laws, to preserve the peace, and to ilcuouuce those crimes which have so recent ly been Committed in some portions of our State. We .-peak in behalt of the conserva tive and law-abiding portion bf the people, who constitute, we feel a<surcd, nearly our entire white population, and in their name wc express emphatically our abhorrence of such acts ; ami we p'.edgo ourselves to give all thc assistance iu our power to suppress them. We a-jure all who love their State, of all classes, while and black, to be peaceable and quiet, to lend their ift?rt< to promote harmony and to quell* dissension. We ask Ibosc who are opposed to us, politically, to unite with us to check and discountenance all incendiary language whether uttered ju public or private, and to join u? in I be efforts weare making tor thc preservation of peace, the sn preiuaey of law and thc uiatiitcnahceoforder. L .wles.siic.vs will endm-ger I he peace ot the 'whole State, and wi'l surely bring disaster to all classes. Lei us all. then, however we may ditl' r in politics, devote all our energies to muintai.i the good character of our State, and to promote a belter feeling among our whole people, WADE HAMPTON, Chairman.

To tilt Republican* of South Carolina: .'Let vs have pince" So says our great and good leader, General Grunt. So say all good Republican*. So Kay we, the uudei sigued members of the Republican party in South Carolina. We hold that the Republi can party is emphatically the party of peuce and quiet, of law and order. We hold that any mar who will commit or encourage violence or lawlessness-, ls a (Criminal, and merita the unqualified condemnation of all good Republicans. We censure, without re serve, all thc'recent act3 of violence; not on ly the horrible murders of Martin, Randolph and Nance,- of our owu party, but also ihe fibing upon Ward at Newberry, and the acts of incendiarism at Abbeville and elsewhere, ll Republicans luve been engaged in any of lln-se outrages, we denounce them as false to the ptincip'cs of our party, an ! as criminals justly meriting the s-verest penalties of the law. Violence in only ju>tifi :d in self-defence, and never in retaliation or for revenge. It is the business ol the law to punish crimes, and not of individua*?. We hail with .-?atisfiiotion the address of tim Democratic State Central Com mit We as the harbinger of belter and more quiet times We will gladly unite with the leaders of the Democratic party in d ing all in our power to prevent incendiary language, to preserve th i pi;ac", to maintain order, and to assert the supremacy of tho laws. Wu urge upon Che leaders and speakers in the Republican party the necessity of discountenancing and condemning violence on ad occasions. Wc call upon every member of tho Republican party, white or colored, to abstain from all acts of retaliation and violence, and to do all in bis power to have the guilty persons ar rested and punished, whether they be Repub licans or Democrats. Let not the good natue and uoble principles of thc Republican party be tarnished by acts of bloodshed or other crimes. Let it be seen that the Republican party of the South, like that of the great Re publican party o' the North, is the earnest and consistent advocate of law and order, of Eeacc and harmony, of bamauity and justice, ict every Republican be found ready to as sort and vindicate his rights anr1 his manhood at I ho ballot-box.

Who Struck Billy Patterson? Gov. Scott, did you do it? Prince (of dark ness) Rivers, v.hat say you.' Frank Arnim, thou pink of m-'desty and fritterer of tho King's English, nro you guilty ? If it is not asking too much, the freemen of Edgefield desire' to know when, Where, und why they were deprived of the right to vjte in thu elections this day being held throughout tho United States. Was it, that after a careful turvey of tho political field, you saw de feat at the ballot-box awaited your party, and hence concluded upon the s'rategic move of no election ; or was it due to the credulity and tim idity of Root, Cain and Leo-the Tray, Blanch, and Sweetheart of your party ? We have made repeated euquiries to find out the responsible man, but our efforts have prov.n au fruitless ns the interrogatory, " who struck Billy Patterson ? Diligont search has been made at Columbi ., Hamburg and Edgefield C. H., for tho individual, and " not in," and " stet ynilty" wero thc replies received. But to ba serious-this much is certain, tho deed h is been done by some one, and thu respon sibility, which has bi on pitched like a tennis hull from one place and porson to another, rests some where. Why hus this wrong been put upon Edge field, and not upon other Districts ? What undi vulged crimes and misdemeanors ban she been guilty of, that thia navel proceedure ahould be used ? Wo hare thls's'wsay to these adventurers and po! ?ti,-.il mountebanks, whoo ver thoy be, that a day of reckoning will com ;, when such outrageB upon the rights of the people ?ill m t gi " u whipped of justice ;" that their hour of misru'e will soon end;-already, in our judgment, their political " orb has passed its full." . History teaches, and experience abundantly confirms the fact, that ignorance must be subordi nate ta intelligence ; that an educated minority has ruled, and always will rule, an ignorant ma jority ; that the tane-cnlvtte* of a country must succumb to its wealth ; that whenever this is not the c -sc, tho laws of nature are violated, and will return at ? gallop, and soon re-assort their domi nation.

If we wish er expect the "security of life, liberty and property,"--the right of every man restored to our long unhappy country, we most lend our assistnnoe and iufluenoe in suppressing deeds of violence and bloodshed, and in main taining the laws of the land. - A Mammoth Cabbou Mrs. JAS.

Success to trade !" The Governor** Peace Proclamation? j In our last issue we publisbel a Proclamation* from Qov. SCOTT, which, to ray .he least, was an un wararn ted "libel on the people of our District J and the other Districts mentioned therein. Io that proclamation, which by the way, he must have issued solely as a campaign document, for effect in the Northern Sutes, he charged our citi zens with all manner of evil and damnable deeds, j and even threatened to arm the " loyal citizens," -the brutal negroes-and put them in authority j over us. ,.. But an astonishing change has come over the.| war-like spirit of the mighty SCOTT within tho lost few days, and now he is as mild and gentle as a pct lamb; his manifostod malignity and har j trod appears to have oozod out at his finger's end, and in the annexed proclamation he nier s the '. Pipe of Peace." We are gratified at this proper course of the Governor's, and in maintaing the "peace, prosperity and honor of our beloved State," none will givo him more wi.ling succor and support than tho law-abiding and ever-hon orable people of Edgcfield. Here is the peace PrucUUuution : To the Citizen? of South Carolina. FBLLOW-CITIZKMS : The numerous complaints made to this Departmont of murders and out rages, committed by wicked and inconsiderate persons, cxcited'by intense party feeling, made it my duty to issue tho late proclamation, calling upon all good and true men, without respect to political predilections, to unite in a determination to discouutenance and denounce lawlessness and violence, and in an effort to recover and main tain the good nat that has heretofore been the heritage and the pride of our beloved State. It is now my pleasing duty to congratulate you upon the beneficial results that have ensued fruin toe admirable and w?<I1-tl(n?d address of G-n. Hamp ton and the Executive Cummittee to the Demo cratic party. lu honest and impressive torms they have called on the people to support tbe laws, to preserve .the peace, and to denounce those crimes wbicb have so roeently been com mitted ia some portions of our State. These pa triotic eoudsels cannot fail of having a wide und wholesome influence in moderating the vehemence of feeling of those to whom they are authorita tively addressed, while they have quieted the Hp* prehensions aud conciliated the respect and good will of their political opponents. This is cer tainly m just cause of congratulation to every well-wisher of the State, and it givus me uu feigned pleasure to acknowledge it, and to ear nestly invoke the co operation of every member of the Republican party io reciprocating,' to the fullest extent, the pacific policy * > admirably in culcated by the Democratic hiders.

Differ as wo may in political sentiments, it is the dictate alike of wisdom and patriotism for nil to appeal t?, and confide in, the ifficacy of peaceful remedies for political evils, actu.il or eupposod. Let " hear and forbear" bo our maxim, and so shall the peuce, prosperity and honor of our beloved State bc maintained and perpetuated, and ber time-honored escutcheon will be pre served, unsullied mid undimmed, in all it? origi na) purity aud lustre.

The Editor, in presenting the Farmer to his al ready numerous readers, says : "The agricultural interests of the two Caroli nas have long felt the want of a periodical suited to their climate, soil and productions. Many at tempts have heretofore been made to establish .ueb a periodic?! on a permanent and success ul iasis, but iron- some cause, to us inexplicable, ?very such enterprise hus failed. Tnat the farmers and planters of North Caroli na and Sruth Carolina will sustain a first-cUss igricultural journal we cannot doubt It is their merest to do so; and we shall go on with dur en terprise, confident that the day in not far distant irhcn the CAROLINA PA HUI: II will be wcceptable to ill its patrons and profitable to ourself. \ We rely on the enterprising farmers acd pla?? ers of our section to aid us in extending our cir?! tulatiou.

MR. EDITOR,-Would it not be well, amidit ihe ?onvulsions of the boor, and the uncertainty of tbe fnture, to turn our attention more earnestly to the material improvement of oar State, that wo may be better prepared to meet whatever istnei are presented with success ? It is apparent that the difficulties before ns are not ordinary ones, and it will require moro than ordinary exertions to overcome them. In certain contingencies, which are not improbable, a reign of brute force may be expected in the. South, and it will be necessary to support the moral influence that will be brought to bear for its overthrow, by those auzilliary resources springing alone from wealth and.intelligent enterprise. The first step towards the accumulation of these resources is to build up our own seaports, and concentrate the wealth derived from our trade in the hands of those who- are friendly to oar inter ests. All efforts to throw off the tyranny that hus enslaved ns will be in vain until we learn to do tbia. ; ' The people of Charleston are our peoplo, and in giving to the merchants of that city tho posi tion and influence that it is in our power to give them, we at once invoke a powerful ally in at least rep ni rios; the broken fortunes of the State, and Adeeming it from its degrading sway. VWith present appearances, Northern capital may be'oxpectcd to come here, when, under tho en forced tuition of the Republican party, we are reconciled to humiliations, and become the wit ing victims of a capricious despotism. 1 SALUDA.
