Price, $t,00 Per Saw.
THESE GINS were sold the past sea
son for the first time. They are
made under Mr. Gullett's personal su
pervision, who never-allows one tobe
sont from his works, until it has been
Itally tested, and made to gin perfectly in
every respect. This mode or testing is
very important to the purchaser, as* he
does not run the risk of receiving and
setting up a Gin to find it, on trial, to be
imperfect.
The IMPROVED GIN differs materi
ally from the Steel Brush Gin formerly,
sold by ua, inasmuch as the Steel Brush
has three brushes, while th ?new Gin has
but one.
We guarantee every Gin to be of very
light draft, to thoroughly clean the seed,
and make a superior sample. Besides, ;
it is simple in its construction, easily ad
justed and gins very last.
We respectfully refer tn all those Who
have used the Improved Gin the past
winter.
Planters wishing Gins will consult
their own interest??, by either writing to
us for our Circular with Certificates, or
calling at our office and examining for
themselves before purchasing elsewhere.
j^*We will take back every Gin
which does not work well . when fiairly
tested, and pay all expenses incurred by
the purchaser.

Orr this Side.
Just as I thought of yon, darling,
Just as I named you of old,
My lime white rose of the spring-time,
My little pet lamb of the fold ; .
Fair as the promise of summer,
Sweet as its balmiest breeze,
Bright as its de west blossom.
Purer than any of these.
Just as you -were to me, darling,
Out in that far-away time,
Dear as the dream of a poet,
Soft as its musical rhyme ;
Sad with the -weight of a sorrow
You and I only might know,
Just as you.were to me, (jtariing,
Far ia the days long ago.
Just as you caine to me, darling ;
Faith in your beautiful eyes,
True as the" whisperings of Heaven ;
Blue as its sunniest skies ;
Just as you carno to mo, dar i i ag,
Brown lashes h bav y with teary,.
Saddened because of ruy sorrow, '
Weeping because of ray fears.
Just as you went from me, darling,
Down through the darkness unknown,
Over the echoless waters,
Dato the shadows alone.
On through, the radiant; pathways
Only the chosen have trod
Bright with the"brightness of Heaven,
white with the whiteness of God.
Only a d ream of you, darling ;
Never a clasp of your hand.
Never a smile from you, darling,
Far in the beautiful land ;
Never to bee you beside me,
AU through the desolate years,
Saddened because of my sorrow,
Weeping because of my fears.
Advice to Old Hen.
BY A BOY.
I cannot pick up a newspaper with
out " Advice to Boys" stares me in
the tace. Old. men write it, I s'pose.
Nobody else is capable of giving ad
vioe to boys ; of course not ! They
know all about us, they do, 'cause
they've been there. Advice is a good
thing to have, no doubt, and no one
should be without it; but a feller
dont want to be crammed with it all
the time, to the exclusion of ali other
diet.
Now, old men need advice occa
sionally ; but in looking through the
papers I don't sj?e as they get it. So
I thought that I would just write a
little advice to old men, myself, ii
I am ntif, presuming too much (us
Aunt Chloe says), arid I presume that
I am.
Io the first place, you './:<$ ph ap*
ought to get over telling how much
smarter boys were when you were
young than they are now. You be
lieve it yourselves, of connu:, .cause
you've told it so often, but we boy*
cant see it. We have a notion that
boys are pretty much the world over,
(except some that are giris,) and
one generation of them dcnt'l^y over
anotier generation to an alarming
extent.
Only let you tell it, au,d you counj
out-run, out-juuij-, out-wrestle -azj?
out-anytb1ng-else the rising genera"-"1
?ion of to-day when '.rou was a boy.
Grand.-ia.ther, who has the gout and
half a dozen diffident kinds of rheu
matism,'is always saying that. I
.heard him singing I would 1 were
a boy again." I would he were ; too ;.
if ? couldn't beat him running, and
flop him ou ?;.? back, side hold, I don't
want a cent. ,
I would not g? so far as to say
parents obey your children, but I !
would suggest to fathers that they
give us a fearing occasionally^on
matters in which we are the '?hes
mc^t interested. Don't make us go
and slide down hill when we want to
skate, and try to make preachers of
us when we would much prefer to
run a saw mil!. This is figurative
but I guess you know what I mean
by it'.
After giving ns boys sage advice
about our conduct and how to be
have, you old codgers ought to be
careful how you get to relating your
boyish scrapes to each other and
laughing over them before we are out
of ear shot. The other day grand
father read me a long lecture about
the right of property, temperance
and Sabbath-breaking.
That very night, an old crony of
his Came to visit hinij and they had
a glass of punch together. They
thought I was asleep on the sofa, and
the way they run on about t ie fun
they had when they were boys togeth
er. They told' ali about robbing
Lyon's melon patch: and it turned
out it was on Sun day night, loa i
When I went to bed they were tak
[ ing their third glass of punch, and I
don't know how many they had after
that. I know grandfather's rheuma
tism was a great deal worse the next
day, and he complained a great deal
about his liver. Old men ought to
be very careful about taking too much
punch*
I have noticed old men hate to
give up that they can't stand so much
as they used to, or as younger men
can. They get mad if a fell r like
me hints that they can't. We've all
got "o play out, some day, and when
he feel.- he's losing his grip, why not
comedown gracefully and acknowl
edge the cum ?
Kow, in the above retuarks, I don't
mean ??ny. disrespect. ? I like old mci
in their p.ace, but I don't, want so
much of j their advice. Give the boys
a chance. : ... ...

in our heart. She would be a wo
man loved above all else in the world;
a woman we should defend before all
mankind ; a woman whose lips were,
those of truth and sacredness ; whose
happiness a man could live for ; a
woman a man would be proud of ; a
woman you could put your arms in
gentleness around, draw-to your heart,

In Sumner's hat, on the ground

quotation 'rom his magnanimous !
Co'.nnreni on this violation of I
sanctity ol the grave, which e\
savages respect, would be super!
ous.
But bad as this is, worse rema
behind. In the centre of the pa]

iii? temptation of Christ on themoi

depicted on the mountain top kne

On this cartoon, also, equally r
yolting for its impiety and its ins
lenee, it were a waste of ?words to d
late. The loathing scorn which
must inspire in the heart of every d
cent man, of whatever party, is sui
cient punishment for the perpetrate
of such an enormity ; and we onl
marvel that the permission foi i
publication should have been o'>tai?
ed. It can only recoil .upon the pa

rility and blasphemy to stir up haj
in the souls of brethren.
Nor do the efforto of the artist,
in the same direction, end here. Tri
evil inspiration, which seems to ris
into a demoniac possession , is ex bib
ted in a third picture, in the same it
s,ue of the same paper, entitled " Rt
mian Politics, Anything to Bat
Grant," which caricatures Irish Cati
olics and priests, to whom Greeley j
represented as offering a Land of tel
lowship, while an indignant Amer
can school-boy, in the back-grounc
is clenching his hands in anger at th
sight. The representative of tb
Irak- Catholic is an ape-like figure
armed to th'e teeth with sheelah am
revolvers, and the priesfris peepiu
in at the door, half hidden, like
-py. Two colyran3 of printed tesl
vilifying "the Jesuitical portion c

caricature.
This d-sperate appeal to tho de

I think my latter will plainly show,

fusal to seal, that several -millions
more, perhaps, have not been, added
to the debt of the State.

SECE^TARY STATE'S OFFICE,
COLUMBIA, S. C., Aug. 6,1872.
Messrs. C. I;. Melton end J . T. Cor
bin, Attorneys'?nd Counsellors at
Law. .
GENTLEMEN' Having been abie to
retain your valuable services to show
cause why a peremptory mandamus
should not be issued by his Honor
Judge S, W.* Melton, on Wednesday
next, August 7, to compel me to seal
conversion bonds, I desire to submit
a few reasons why I think such ninan
damns should not be issued.
In November, 1870,1 begun to sus
pect that the conversion Bonds that
had been" sealed by me were not be
ing used for the purpose for wliicli
they were intended, viz: in exchange'
for any of the other various nomU
th it had been issued, or certificate
of stock, wliivh were t be cancelled
as soon as exchanged, and kept in the
Treasury, as evidence of the conver
sion, bonds issued in tueir stead.
I then endeavored Lo learn from
the Treasurer, the pui ?>Qse?? for which"
so many conversion " boudj? were de
clared to be ueevlkl. Fie replied that
the finances of ?Uw.*.:-t:?:e vm^under
thc control of a Financial Board, con
sisting of the Governcr, Treasurer
ana Attorney-Geperal; nd that it
was not my prov i nee br right to know
their action, ex?epr so far' aa I could
learn them from the public reports
they might make through the Treasu
rer and Financial Agent; and that
.he thought it was simply my dijty to
seal as many bonds as they required..
I then comraunicaied with the At
torney-G?n?ral, reorienting from him
a. written opinion as to whether! had
the power to require from the Finan
cial Board a knowledge qi their trans
actions, before I should take thp re
sponsibility of sealingapy movejjonds.
>he Attorney-General gave the opin
ion that my "duty was .'imply mjvis
tericd; that I bad no right to know
the transactions of the Financial
Board ; and that it was my duty to
seal as mrniy bonds .as the "Treasurer,
instructed by the financial Boartfe
requested; that the Finapcial BoartT
had the absolute apo! exclusive con
trol of the issue, and sale or hypothe
cation of bonds,' and the disburse
ment of the proceeds bf Buch salee or
hypothecations.
Though I believe this opjn'on tobe
according tb the letter pf the law, it
did not entirely satisfy me, or con
vince me, that I had no responsibility
in the matter, and I therefore deter
mined to use my utmoet exertions to
learn whether my suspicions, as to
what I 4eemed to be the miaapplica?
tipp pf conversion bonds, were cor
rect or not.
Puring the leg'slatiye ses ioq of
1870-71, e. la^wtia enacfej to cre
ate what is kpown as the ?Sterling;
fupeled debt" pf South Carolina, and
a 'board of five officers, called the
" Sterling Fund Board," waa author
ized to manage the negotiation of
these bonds, which board consisted of
the Financial Board referred to, viz :
the Governor, Attorney-General and
Treasurer, with the addition of the
Comptroller-General and myself. I
then felt in a better position to re
move or oomfirm my suspicions with
regard to. the use peing made of the
conversion boh de, and determined, tp
use my opportunity to the utmost. .
This loan, aa those who are acquaiat
I ed with the 1 iw ara .aware, j^.aa.tp i
consist pf J?.pQO.OOO ofliiQflds, vhich
w?rei.to? be negotiated in Landon, and
the proceeds of the sale used in the
fmrcuase of tour other bonds at a
ower price in New York, and thus
prove a great saving to the >ta<te.
This was on? of the" reasons given
to the Legislature to secure th? pas
sage of the MIK , ".' '
.In accbr'dince witji this Jaw, I-seal,
ed.$3,5GnO;000 of these bonds d>ine
the slimmer of 1871. I then refused

raa?-e tp ejecute tji's laiy ppntrary to
maki I conceived to lae the true^par
pcoe and intent of the law.
The Treasurer informed rae that
they, the "Sterling Fund*Board,"
had the authority to vise tlie proceeds ?
of the sa)e of these bon'Mo payday
existing public debt of thc State. I
fqrther learned that the existing pub
lic debt would probably be very large,
1 per/taps tho erUire amount of the loan !
I $6,000,000. -This statement aston-!
isbed me beyond measure. I imrae-1
! diately infor?ed the Treasurer ?hat i
! nothing should be done with tire st?r-1
ling loan bonds except at a Mi nice":- '
in-g caljed^ by. .^P . ^re^denVoiJha
Board thro?gh me, fte SeerotaVy. '?? I
was determined to prevent, if possi
ble, ?hat I conceived to be a divei
i
sion- of the bonds to a purpo?t]| entire
ly different from what, was intended
bytthe law. *
On inquiry from the Treairer, hy
what method it was intend edito apply
the sterling Joan bonds tc '.cn a pur-;
j-pose. ? was told by him that; he pro
I posedn issuing sufficient conversion
j bonds tocover not only all othjbrbonds
and ?tooks that had'ever been issued,
but also the " sterling loan- bonds,"
and then simply- .place them in tile
Treasury, and report that they had
been converted by the holders.
The conversion bonds could thep
te hypothecated. ior loans bf?the Fi
nancial Board, independently of the
Sterling Fund Bortrd,-:a8 titty (the
Financial Board) claimed that they
had a right to* do, uiid?r th?^i?n per
mitting them' to hypothecate &ty
bonds 'in the Treasury',1, or in the hands
of the Financial Agent, wh^re these:
bonds Were, and fte moheys'thus ob
tained useflj tQ pay off" ?ll debts hith
erto authorized by law. And' thus,
instead, of the sterling l?an' ponds,be
ing sold in London at a higher price
than they could bring in New York,'*
and the proceeds of the sale, applied
to the purchase of our other bonds
here, they would, have been simply
exchanged for conversion bonds, which
conversion bonds would have been
hypothecated tor loans. ?nd then for
feited and sold, and the moneys thus
obtained applied to the payment of
all debts hitherto authorized by- law ;
and they (the sterling loan-'bond?)
would thus have been an addition to
an alleged debt of between $15,000,
000 and $16,000,000. i i
It perhaps would nat be amiss here
to state that the Treasurer, or Finan

sterling loan bonds, amounting to
$6.000,000, meant to hypothecate

without the knowledge ot the Stel

and Was only prevented from so do
ing by the timely repeal of the Act '
-and cancellation of the, bonds loy au
thority of the Legislature.
Frofh November, 1870, to this pe
riod, .(August, 1871,) I'sealed, r?nder
the advip? ?^eu. by the "Attorney
Genera], sufficient conversion bonds
for converting the one minion of sev
en per ceut. relief of the Treasury i
bonds, and $700,000. of, the Land
Commission bonds, as the Treasurer i
positively informed me that lie desired
1 he ui for this purpose only.'
I was coolly informed by the Treas
urer, last September, that these saine
" relief of the Treasury bonds" and
" Laud Commission bonds," for which
I had sealed conversion bonds for the <
purpose of exchange, and which were i
so exchanged, had never been canceled,
but had been re-issued hom theTrea- i
sury, and are now either qypotheea- <
ted for-loan's or ^Wci^ and sold. i
f.JXkp.. Gi>y.pff^- fi^t?si^i^oV ' me y
that these were facts within "his ?wn~ |
certain knowledge,' especially with |
regard to the '! relief of the Treasu- |
ry'bone's.'! "
During the month of October, 1871,
the Treasurer requested me to seal a i
small amount of bonds, for the ex- i
press purpose, as he said, of saving a j
1 -an of between three and four mill- i
ions of bonds, which had been hy- i
potbecated, and would certainly be I
sold at a sacrifice, if more collaterals <
were not put up to save them I at <
first refused to'dp so. reminding the ?
Treasurer that the saline reason was i
aliener} several times before, and that j
I did not feel "satisfied of the correct- <
ness of his statement. He then re
quested me to accompany him and j
the,Governor to New York, and sat- J
i.-=iy myaelf, by conferring with the i
Financial Agent, of the necessity that i
existed for the sealing of thpje bonds, j
for the purpose of preventing a sacri- .
fice of' those hypothecated. Th" ,
Treasurer requested me to take my i
seal along with me, BO that no t?:rie
be lost. I had previously consulted i
with the Attorney-Gen eral* cn thc ]
lawfulness of tjklng my Veal io'Kcw j
Tor]*, anil- trie Governor on the pro- .
pr??ty and necessity of so doing. The ?
Attorn ey-General assured me it was.' (
perfectly leg?l, and the Governor, .
that it was necessary. I took the |
seal with me very reluctantly, be^
lieving I: would j>e in a'b'ett'er posi- ;
.tiqn'to ipsist upon knowing the truth' -
of'wHa't I hap] sp lorig suspected. The (
Treasurer also informed rpe. that the (
Sterling Fpntr Bbara, of which I was ;
a member and Secretary, would meet '
in New York and take some definite i
action in regard-to the negotiation of i
the sterling lund bpncjs^
This last statement determined me
to proceed to New York. < went, <
ana upon the representation there i
made, ?ealed $250,000 of bonds. You -
may imagine my surprise when I saw '
this amount of bonds, thc.coaling of i
which had been performed by me up- i
on the urgent representation that i
they were absolutely essential, as ad- i
ditional collaterals, . to prevent the
sacrifice of several millions, handed '
back to the Trcasv.r?r fej th.e. yin?n- ' |
"cial Agept, after *h'?y tore 'sealed, as' i
fo???gfiU?necessary for that purpose ;
and then the Governor informed the '
Treasurer that he might use thenviii i
any mann?r he pleased ! I soon af
ward informed the Treasurer that I
would not seal another bond, unless .'
compelled by the courts of tV.a ^'-tate, {.
where he would be required to rr/akc
an exhibit1 oi wrint' had been done ,
with'.'fh?':!coriver'?ion bonds; that I :

1871. Ihavenots aleda,s\Rglehop4 ?
ainpe, ftquefo repaateulv requested to
dp so both oefore apd" after thApas
sage of the Validating Act, whioh
contains an especial olause requiring i
nv to seal for purposes of conversion
only, thereby implying that the pre
vious U8e,of tho conversion bonds, in
hypothecating them for loans, was il
legal, and which the Validating Act
was supposed to legalize. v t ;\\\
The Treaaure? ?tfRn exhibit in
lty$Mk\ wK which chowed that all
my *U8pioiori8 with, regard tb the use
be'ihg made of the conversion bonds
were correct, Since that exhibit I
have positively refused to.t col a, aili- j
gieiio.nd, telling the Treasurer that I
Ead now positive knowledge from hie
?publishecf report that he'had used
more than $6,000,000 of conversion
bonds fpr purposes 0/ hypothecation,
and which I believe' to be forfeited
and sold. ; that I considered this whole
amount, which had been sealed by
rne under the most positive assurance
that they were being used solely for
.the purpose of COB version, misapplied.
The Tre surer now assures me that
he desires conversion bonds 'for the
purposes of exchange only, but I have
received similar assurances several
times before, and they have not been
verified by subsequent facts; andi
have no authority to insist upon see
ing the bonds canceled that.are ta
ken in the . Treasury in lieu of the
conversion bonds issued. ' The Treasu
rer resents this as questioning his ve
racity and integrity.
The Treasurer has also inform?d
me .that thjs $182,000 of bonds is on
ly the first installment of $1,700,000
thal he desires sealed. If. this man
damus, therefore, is granted, I will
be compelled to seal that amount at
least, and perhapsan indefinite amount
more.
I hold that I have already sealed
sufficient conversion bond.s for all le
gitimate-purposes, viz: in exchange
for other bonds. I believe their hy
pothecation to be illegal, and that if
the Treasurer or Financial.Board hy
pothecated them, he or they are per
sonally responsible for the amount so
misapplied ; and that,, it is certainly
not my duty'to seal any more,-with
the positive facts in my possession
which the Treasurer's report of' last
November shows.
. It will be seen from that report to
the Legislature, page 469 of the re
ports and resolutions 1871-72, that
the public bonded debt is stated as
$15.851,327.35. Of this amount there
are $7,191,700 of conversion bonds.
Only $1,034,302.35 of this amount
have Been used for the legitimate pur
poses of the Act, viz :. conversion. As
will be seen, by reference to page 471,
the enormous balance pf $6,151,397.
75.iAYe heep, I claim, fraudulently
und illegally used;.
The relators in this application for
mandamus to compel me to seal, whu
claim to Huffer great pecuniarv loss
by my refusal tb seal, and whothreat
Bn to hold me peisonally responsible
tor damages, should hold the Treasu
rer or Financial Board Responsible.
I have already sealed conversion bonds
fer the purpose of . converting the
bonds which they now desire to con
cert, and which have been certainly
mee before converted, and perhaps
two or three times.
It the, construction placed upon
this Act by the Financial,, Board be >\
correct, viz : that they had a right to
Issue cony.ersion bonds without ' ex
^anciug^.tneiu, far. the other bonds, as ,
they nave clone to the extent of more
than $6,000,000, arid, thus increase
the debt of the State by so much, the
A.ct is unconstitutional.
The Constitution, (Art. IX, See. 7.)
requires three distinct conditions in
the passage of all laws contracting
jubfic debts, viz: First, that it be
passed by the vote of two-thirds of
the members of each branch of the
[jetterai Assembly; second, thatthese
l'otes be recorded by ye;is and nap
Dn the journals 0!' each Jlouse re
spectively : iraq, tfurq, that every
such law shall levy a tax annually
nifficietrt. to pay the annual interest
){ such debt.
It will be seen, by reference to the
journals, that the Act was not passed
Dy the required two-thirds vote, aor
luve the yeas and ftayis been called
HIL] recorded-upon the journals ; and
it will be" seen, hy reference to the
?vet itself, that it has no section re
1 ni ring the annual levy of a ta* suf
licient to pay the interest'.
1 repeat, therefore,, iliac the Act is
anc.cui-ii?utional, th" construction
(?laced ?poti it by the Financial Board
is correct. But I hold thal that coil
.traciion is not correct. The Act
simply provides for conversion or ex
change ot' bonds, as its t:?e indicates. <
Hie iact that it was pot passed by
the General Assembly ?11 accordance
with 'the constitutional requirements ;
referred lo above, which Vhay w0re :
j.ety careful lo, p.hsorvo in the passage
3,f every other contracting a public
debt, proves that they never meant
it to, increase the public debt.
The Act has also internal eyid.en.ee
to show that it cappo^ hear the ocn
?trq?ticrli j^aoecl upon it by the Fi
nancial Board. Section 3 requires
lhat tlid Treasurer shall receive one
dollar fee for all'bonds or stocks, ex
changed, and fifty cent* for every
blank used. in4he transaction, there
by plainly showing that the conver
s?n bonds, though signed, counter
signed and sealed, were regarded as
.io many blanks, until they w?re is
sued from the Treasury, and, other '
bonds received in their stead', and, of
course, caucfelecVand filed asvouehers
irr ?vidences of the conversion bonds
issued in lieu thereof.
I khow, from repeated conversa
tions with the Treasurer, that the con
struction now placed upon the "Con
version Aot" by the Financial Board,
is an after thoiigkiy a piire' iriv??tion,
fer?ed to extricate 'themselves from
ti difficult' and perilous position.
Tte rumor has been industriously
circulated that \ have, uever Wt a
registry, ol any o? all of the bonds \
haye.'sealed. ?h,ia stagnent is not
corr?et: I a careful regis
try af all the bonas sealed, except
the conversion bonds. I have never
aupposed for a moment that those
conversion bonds would have been
used for any other purpose, except in
exchange for t^e ether bonds I had
sealed and kept a registry of. But,
as soon as I suspected that they were
being used for other purposes, I did
keep a very careful registry.

spectfully, F. L. CARDQZO,

Greeley's Movements in Minne J
AUGUSTA, MAINE, August IB.- I
Greeley left Portland this morning
on a special train for Augusta. He j
was accompanied by Hon 0. P. Kim
ball and several other prominent gen
tlemen. At all places .along the route .
dense crowds collected to see him.
At Brunswick he was greeted with
deafening cheers and music. In re-1
spouse to calls, he made a short j
speech". i
PORTLAND, August 15.-The fol-j
lowing is the address of Mt. Greeley I
in' the City Hall yesterday : ' . .
MR..CHAIRMAN AND LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN ; It is certainly true that, !
throughout the coarse of my life, so :
far as I have been connected with
public affairs, I have struggled, with j
Bach capacity as God has given me, ?
for-first, impartial and universal lib- j
erty ; second; for the union and great- 1
ness of our common country, and j
third, though by no means, least, when j j
the foamer end was attained, !'. -r early j
and hearty reconciliation and peace I j
among our countrymen. For the^e I :
great ends I have struggled,-and hope 11
the issu?'of the third i's not .loubttul.
I thoroughly comprehend that no [
personal consideration has drawn this i
vast assembly together. Other, high- t
er and grander considerations have f
collected you around me to-day. It ]
is part of the written law of our, r
country that a candidate for the Pps- t
ideacy may not make speeches in a
vindication and commendation of the t
principles, whereupon he is supported i
cr the measures which his election is D
intended-to promote, though a candi- j
date for Vice-President is under no
such inhibition. I not merely ac- J
quiesce in the restriction but I recog* 0
nize and affirm its propriety. The
temptation to misinterpret and mis
represent a candidate for the higher
posts is sb great, the means of cir?u- jj
Tating such perversions amohg people ?.
who never see a word of their refu- u
ration are so vast,, that a candidate 0
has ho moral right to subject his ~
friends to the perils; he must brave ^
it-not invite it by taking part tn the n.
canvass, Yet there is a truth to be ' ' tj
uttered in behalf of those who have, ?s
placed me before the American peo- ?j
pie in my pre ?ent attitude which does' c.
them such honor that I claim. the u,
privilege of stating it here and now. p
This is that truth : No person has ev- ??
er yet made the fact known that he tj
proposed to support, or actually did e]
support, my nomination, whether at K
Cincinnati,' at Baltimore, or in any ?
action which resulted in sending del- ?_.
egates to either Convention as the ^
basis of a claim, fox omceat my hands. a
No one who, favored my nomination
before either Convention, or at either a]
Convention, has sought af?oe at my jc
hands either for himself cr for any ^c
one else, uor has-any one suggested <0(
to'W tuatT might strengthen myself L\
as a candidate by promising to ap- 8j
point any one to an important office, LI
In a very few instances, less than a (

that I might increase my chance-5 tV
election by promising t\ p,p,5>t office or jc
some such pUyo.e, lo, my volunteer cor
respondents respectively, I have not ^
usually responded to these overtures, ^
but I how give general notice that ^
should I be elected, I will consider ra
the claims'nf theseuntimely aspirants .

Those adverse tom.eask- what pledges tt
I have gi.von to. those lately hostile rn
ta the union to secure their favor ju
and support. I answer, no man or( w
woman in all the South ever asked of ec
me, either directly or through anoth- ft
er, any other pledge than is given in
all my acts and words. From the
hour of Lee's surrender to this mo- le
ment, no Southern man ever hinted $
to me an expectation, hope or wish
that the rebel debt, whether Confer}- 1 w
erate or State, should be, assumed or tj.
paid by the Unipn,' and no Southern te
man who could be elected to a Legis
l?'ture or made Colonel of a militia ifl
regiment, even suggested the pen- c(
sioning of all the rebel soldiers or -y
any of them, even as a remote uossi- Q(
bil tty. ei
All who nominated; me. were, per- ^
fectly aware that I upheld and justi
fied; federal ' legislation to repress ^
?^u Klux conspiracy and- outrages, ?Q
though I had long ago 'insisted as Qj
strenuously as I now do that complete a]
amnesty and; general oblivion of the ?
Woody hateful past would do more al
for th? ?Impression and utter extinc- ",
tien of such outrages than all the j(
force bills and suspension of habeas ^
corvus ever divised by man. Wrong; ^
aha crime, must be suppressed) ana ft.
punished, but far w^sex and nobler> ^
is the l?gislation, the policy by which tj
they are prevented. D(
From those who support me in the a
South I have heard but one demand, I e<
" Justice ;" but obe -desire, " Recon- i
ciliation." They wish to be heartily |
reunited and at peace with the Nor^h a
on any terms which do no|| invoWe si
the surrender of their, manhood* They b
ask 'hat tljey. should be regarded b
anrli treaded, ky any Federal authtyi- ?
ty as citizens, not culprit*, so long as a
they obey and uphold every law con- ii
sistent with equality and right. They fi
desire a rule which, alike ?br whity). h
aqd black, shall encourage igadostry a
and thrilt, and they, discourage ra- fi
pacity and^ yittia?y. They cherish a d
ToyfuV hope, in which I fully concur, a
that between the fifth of Novemberrh
and the fourth of March n^xt, quite y
a number ci Governors and other, ?
dignitaries, who, in the absurd name
of Republicans and loyalty, have for
years been piling deots and taxes
upon their war-wasted States will
follow the wholesome example ol Bol
lock, of Georgia, and Beek the shade?
of pw vate life. The darker and
deeper those shades the better foi
themselves ?ind for mankind, and the
hope that ray election may hasten
the L-iueh desired hegira of thieving
carpet-baggers, has reconciled to the
necessity of supporting me many, who
would otherwise have hesitated and
probably refused.
