Mr. Duncan sees at once the evil ami

that no olio, than him. oil', "would more

" who now control thenj,"
Such nn"lioni -t effort" is tlu* Reform

of its at might forwardness and sincerity.
To its jirinciples,lw?says,"<joo?l Republicans
will "certainly not object," and
well may lie avow his opinion that?
"If they are btmn fftfr on the part of
our former antagonists, J can see no
good reason why good Itc|?ol>li>-<iitM
should not unite with tliern in order to
rescue the government from the hands
of those at present ruling the State for
its ruin. It will not lie an abandonment
of tlie principles of our party, but
only a union with our former foes, who
accept our principles and join us to rescue
the State from corrupt and incapable
ban.la."
The issue of the civil and political
equality of the race s (says the Charleston
\rtrx) no longer divides the citizens
of (lie State. We ("Veup.v a ground
far higher than tlie fields on which the
battles of 1 'arty are fought. All that in

him from whose letter we quote to-day.

But h short time ago, Mr. Dunn, the
! independent candidate for Congress in
( the First Congressional District of So.
Carolina, spoke in Floreuco. He said
that Whittemore was a thief, having
nilferid several thousand dollars from
] Sir. Shaw, a merchant in lioston. lie
supported this assertion with authonti- I
cateri letters and athdnvits. When lie
had eonehided, Mr. Flood, colored, tin*
postmaster of Florence, mounted the 1
rostrum and sai t; "I do not ipiestion ]
tliat WhHtemore may lie wind Mr.
Dunn aa^.s he is ; lad I fhust inquire, I
may Hot Mvv I mini, who is al-o from
Massachusofts, lie also a thief."1 it
seems to us that this is rather hard on
