To the People of the State.
The Address of the State Democratic Ccm p
mittee. b
The Democratic party has again t
presented to the country its platform of
principles and its candidates for office. t
The fecord attests the good faith and a
honesty of both.
The platform is a plain and simple
assertion of the principles of the Con t
stitution as it is, and the officials of c
the government selected from and by '
the Democratic party are guided by s
it in the conduct of their officers. The
duties of each officer are prescribed by t
law, written law, and when they are I
faithfully performed it is the law that
rules and not the individual who hap
pens to personate it. Indeed, the
faithful discharge of official duty is
necessary to this rule of law on which
depends the peaceful enjoyment by
the people of all the liberty, justice
and regulated order that their system
of government is capaple of affording.
The honest observance of official
obligations is necessary to the main
tenance and perpetuity of this govern
ment of the people by the people.
Should our government of law, faith
fully administered, fail to meet the
demands of the people, the mode is i
plainly prescribed by law for such al
teration and amendment as may, from
time to time, become necessary. Any
stretch of official power, to meet any
supposed demand, is, to that extent,the
exercise of unlawful or arbitrary pow
er, and to that extent destructive of
our governmental system-is, in fact,
a substitution of personal for official
power, which is antagonist to both the
letter and spirit of our institutions.
However worthy t.he motive or ur
gent the emergency may be, the exer
cise of personal power by even the
most patrotic officer should be watched
and checked, as it opens the way for
faithless und designing officials to use
the machinery of government for its
subversion.
It is to maintain these principles in
the conduct of the government that
the Democracy is arraying its strength
for the coming conflict. Whatever
may have been the original object and
purposes of our great antagonist, the
Republican party, however honest and
patriotic its platforms and candidates I
ma^ once have been, it would seem
lha. their organization was cap
tured in the hour of their triumph
by faithless, self-seeking officials,
whose construction of the Constitu
tion as to their powers would have
made the 'misguided but patriotic old
Fe-dcralists, against whom Jefferson
waged war and raised the people in
their might, stand aghast with horror.
The old ship that was steered through
the stormy sea of rebellion without
the loss of a spar had barely reached
smooth w-ater when sh~e was boarde d
by these" pirates and used to plunder
and destroy what she was built to pro
tect. Its flag, which was borne wit hI]
such enduring pluck through the
bloody battles of a protracted war, was
seized by treacherous hands and mad e
the standard of an arbitrary power in
finitely more dangerous to American
institutiucs of liberty than the armed
array of the world. Under the shadow
of its folds the old fortress of the Con
stitution was dismantled and its ar- I
mianent moved to a "camp outside." 1
Governmental organization was sub
ordinated to party organization. Con-i
stitational power was supplanted by~
extra-constitutional force, and the!
mandates of party were subsitu ted for
the law of the land.
Is it strange that this mode of con
-ducting a constitutional government
should render necessary the expedients
-of fraud and force ? The emyloymen t a
of both is a prime necessity to it. It s
is an impossibility, without infamous
betrayal of trust on the part oofias,r
,sustained by the force of extra con- c
:stitiutional organizations. The practid
cal result of all this is a de facto cen- (
tralized government,. the powers of E
-which are limited only by the discre- d
tion of its officials. Thanks to the s
wisdom of the fathers of the Republic s
- the exercise of this discretionary pow- I
er is curbed by obstacles inherent in
the matchless system itself which they f
framed. The offieials through whom s
the powers of govern ment are operated I
are all, from the President to the
humblest muncipal officer, sworn to e
support the Constitution and laws of ~'
the country, and the extent to which E
arbitrary rule is practicab!e, is in pro-d
portion to the faithlessness of these t
oflicials. Where all are true to their L
trusts, it is impossible. Where all are t
faithless, arbitrary government is fully
equipped with the machinery necessa- t
rv for its complete administration. a
When,in the recent past, our State gov-jd
ernent under the control of the Re- c
publican party, was converted into an e
engine of oppression, degradation and
rumn, we were experiencing the full op-It
eration of this centralized governmen t.a
The sworn officials furnished by the' t
Republican party, so far from inter
posing the natural obstacles of our
*govern mental system to the adminis
tration of unlawful government, them
selves destroyed the barriers of the
law, and added their share of arbitrary
power to the tide of tyranny that en
gulfed us all. This method of con- lI
ducting government is the only one~ r
known to the Republicans of South I
Carolina.
Driven well nigh to despair, the t:
free-born citizens of the State resolved n
to unite their strength in a supreme s~
effort for relief. They succeeded in v
restoring, the power and authority of I
law in the State, and thereby placed d
her on a plano with the other States
o'f the Union. But over them all still I
ihungs the centralized government, a
dark threat to liberty and an effective d
obstruction to the < uiet and peaceful d
.reign of the law. . t
The people are again called on to y
say which of these modes of conducting e
-&L ?ronenment shali, nre:sil. This n
mnducted. It. is the overwhelming' T
uestion to be settled by the im
ending contest, and the issue should .rr
e fairly and squarely made in every w
tate and County campaign in the
'lon.
If this view of the political situa
on is the true one, the disciplined
nd united energies of the Democracy,
hieh will be exerted to establish on
secure basis all that was regained by
<eir heroic effort in 1876, should re
eive the support of the entire people. -=
'hey will certainly be sustained by
11 in South Carolina who have the
stelligence to appreciate the value of W I
he honor of the State and of the
inited States to the liberty, peace and
rosperity of the people..

From The News and Courier.
The increase in the population of
outh Carolina during the last ten
rears, as shown by the census, is most
;ratifying to the people of-the State.
.t shows that, making the requisite
llowauce for omissions in 1870, the
state is steadily enlarging its popu
ation, and that, as the representatioa
n Congress is in proportion to the
>opulation as ascertained by the cen
us, the number of Congressmen from
south Carolina will not be diminished.
We are quite willing that there should
>e a recount in South Carolina if it
will gratify or satisfy the Radical or
,ans, and we would make no other
ondition than that there should be two
numerators for each district, one of =
.hem a Democrat and the other a Re- Ti
>ublican. We have entire confidence
n the substantial accuracy of the
he census, though it shows an enor
nous increase, and we have no desire
;o claim credit for a larger populatiou
;han the State has. According to
he returns made to us of the results
)f the late census, the population of
south Carolina is as follows :

Our Washington Letter.
WAsaINGToN, P. C.,
Aug. 19th, 1880.
The reports at Democratic head.
quarters here last week are all of one
kind-all honorable. This is especial
ly true of those from Indiana, in
which State Republicans early in the
season had hopes of Democratic dis
sension. In Maine, the Republicans
are making a more thorough and vig
orous canvass there against the Dew.
ocrats and Greenbac.kers, but a well
informed Democrat writes to General
Walker, that Senator Blaine's Cam
paign tactics, always discreditable,
fail this year to receive endorsement
from even some of the extreme Radi
cals. The number of Conservative
speakers in Maine from other States
is beirg constantly insreased. The
gentleman referred to above, says the
vote in opposition to the Republicans
will be increased from last year, when
it lacked oily a few of 70,000, and
was o:er 1,000 greater than the Re
publican vote. From New York, the
Committee receives fewer letters than
from many other States, but all unite
in predicting a majority as high as
40,000.
A Washingtonian who has just re
turned from a tour through Vir
ginia, says all the troubles in -that
8tate will be settled. H-e talked with
General Mahone and other prominent
Democrats in both wings of the party,
and found them generally williug to
adopt any mecaszres necessary to give
he State to Hancock.
In short, nothing discouraging is
heard here. There are a few comn
nlaiuts that in somie States the Comn
ittes are not forcing the fighting,
but' that cause for fault-finding will
not last long.
The reported death of Hion. Proctor
Knott, and dangerou~s injuries to
Hon. Hleister Clymer were received
with a good deal of feeling here. No
two Dewoeratic Conuressmen are
terday given a furlough for an in
definite time. Probably he will be
I allowed a Court Martial. Secretary
llamsey is anxious to grant him one,
and. though miIv cannot see that
such action is called for, nobody ob
jeets.
A bout three months more will be
required to complete the payment of
Censnc Enumerators. Their number
is a1-.ut thirty thousand, and the
average of people reported by them
about 16,000. General Walker says
a better class of men was employed
this year than ever before. 1e

Home Enterprise.
a All undertakings, especially those
in the manufacturing line, are always
attended with trouble and risk, hence
e the reason wh.y so many capitalists
t who have never embarked in this
line of business are afraid to venture.
In the South capitalists heretofore,
have been altogether agriculturists
and to some extent commercialists.
s They have always been averse to man
ufacturing in this State on the ab
surd ground that it conflicted with
the interests of an agricultural people
and had a tendency to prevent the
principles of freedom in the free
e white citizens. In these views the
Southern people, while slavery ex
. isted, were educated, and it has only
been since the emancipation of slav
ery has seen and felt, that a diversity
of industries has been contended for as
rinseparably connected with the pros
perity of a nation.
What is bred in the bone is hard
to get out of the flesh ; therefore as
our people have become indoctrinated
with the raising of cotton to the ex
clusion of wheat, corn and oats; so it
2was and is yet to inlvestingT in mnanu
-factures of no matter of what kind.
Oh ! say doubting Thomases'-It won't
do! It won't pay ! and then follow
the old habit of corn in the one end
of the bag and a rock in the
other.
.1Occasionally out of the great mass
-may he found one with a little ca-pital
who has the nerve to embark in in
vestment in manufacturing, who is
willing to meet the risks attendant,
Sand in general is successful.
On the principile that aniy man is a
becnefactor who makes two blades of
grass grow where only one grew be
fore, so it is with the man who opens
fup a m:anufacturing establishment in
tthe South. HIe is a benefactor, a
progressor. a friend to his section. It
is the introduction of a new industry,
'giving emiployme nt to men of busi
ness, and throwing into the midst of
the people~ articles essentially requisite
-without having recourse to foreign
markets for the same.
But a few days ago we called in at
the establishment of Butler & Ander
-son, near the Depot, and by some cir
cuitous circumstance got into a fur
niture establishment which we were
told was run by D. M. Ward, under
the superintendence of Bennett. We
admit we were surprised at the large
amount of pieces of furniture, for
bureaus, chairs, bedsteads, mouldings,
brackets, piled up aroud; the ma
chinery; and the number of hands
employed. If we had not been in
formed, we would have sworn some
Northern or Eastern man had bolstered
uip his courage and come down here to
open up something new.
In his store room te has 350 bed
stead frames, besides choirs, bureaus,
and in his shop enough pieces pre
pared to finish off 300 more bed5teads.
with a large niumber of bureaus, &c.
Ward will in a short time com
mence the construction of a large,
commodious, roomy~ building in which
he proposes to fix up a large and pow
erful enirine, with all kinds of ma
chinery adequate to the employ of
some twenty~ hands, for the manufac
ture of furniture on the wholesale, for
adjoining Counties and the State and
other States, if he can gain the con
fidence of Southern citizens, and in
duce them to believe that "We can
make a Lowell out of Newberry, even
if she chances to be in South Caro
lina" Why not? Have -we not
cherry, ash, oak., maple. gum, hickory,
chesnq, dogyood, pople,r, Walnit,
cedar, pine, xe., and that in abun
dance too ? Native wood. em:inently
fit and appropri.ate for every kind of
furniture ? Canr we not manufacture it
as neatly and nicely into bedsteads
and then sell it as low rates, even
lower than the Northern maufacturers
a thousand wiles off who incur enor
mous expenses ? Assuredly Ward can
do it, and much cheaper than any fur
nitpre manufacture in cities. He can
manfacture and sell bedsteads, bu
reaus, sofas. &c., 50 per cent. ehieaper,
made out of cherry, walnut and gum,
than any dealer in Newberry can buy
them at the North and sell them here.
Wages are cheaper, house rent is
cheaper. and the wood is cheaper.
If chie:pns of good. durable ar
tics i:, an incenti e to trade, then
Ward should be patronized. To up
hold this advarntage, he should receive
a hearty support.~ lie has already re
eived this and now through the news
papers, to an inquiring public, lie is
working to receive more.
The vanard of American civiliza
cenvinced of a fund of American en
terprise in the manufacture of axes,
commenced in. a st.one siop. 16.28 on
a espital of_ $500, in a place cnlled
Caut.n, now Collirsviliee, vn F,aramitng
toct River, -according to Appletwl's
Enclopedia, and in I 859 it wis the
lhlrgest axe establisitnent in the world
for maiufacturing axes and edge
tools.
If this was so, which was the
case, what is to hinder a :nan in New
berry, S. C., from doing the same in
respect to manufacturing here ?
What we of the South need is broad,
comprehensive, liberal, patriotic views
for the employment of human ener.
gy, and disposition, a fellow feeling,
notwithstanding the complex forces
in mechanics, to secure to each in
dividual the largest liberty and patro
nage for his personal endeavors, and
for society at large thc greatest
amount of conveniences for its collec
tive comfort and well being.

"Something to Talk About.'
MESSRS. EDITORS: In last week's
HERALD, Mr. T. M. Lake, over his
own signature, propounds certain ques
tions, which he fancies pertaineth to
political enonowy-and of which he
invites discussion. A satisfactory re
ply to these questions, it would seem,
is that there is at present, a manifest
insufficiency in the number of offices
in the gift of the people-there being
in Mr. Lake's own County, fifty four
candidates for twelve vacancies. But
a very appropriate answer may be
found in the following fable:
Once upon a time, a frugal farmer
wag tossing a handful of corn to three
chickens, two geese and one tnrkey.
A hungry ass from the commons thus
accosted him: "Farmer, would it not
be better to give we that corn, than
to waste it on your poultry ? I have
but one mouith to feed, whereas you
'are filling six."
"It is not wasted," the farmier re
plied; "There would be no economy
in putting in one mouth all that
would feed six. I feed the creatures
because the2y serve mue. The chickens
furnish me with eggs for mny break
fast, the geese give we feathers upon
which to rest my weary limbs, and the
turkey will be a dish to be enjoyed
by my family. Besides. they are sat
isfied with the siuiall amount that I
give them, whereas you. Mr. Ass,
would consume it all, and your hunger
would not be appeased. As I have
said, they serve we. I have no use
for you. at present ; and do not know
that I ever shall. I am too poor to
indulge in luxuries."
"Well,'' said the ass, "I thought I
would give you something to talk
about."
"These little creatures," the far
mer answered, "have enough to talk
about every morning when the d::rk
ness of nightedisappetrs, in welcoming
a brighter day." IESOP.
Cured or Drinking.
"A young friend of mine wa cured
of an insatiable thirst for Liquor,
which had so prostrated him that he
was unable to do any business. He
was entirely cured by the use of Hop
Bitters. It allayed all that burning
thirst; took away the appetite for
liquor ; made his nerves steady, and
he has remained a sober and steady
man. for wore than two years, and has
no desire to return to his cups; I
know of number of others that have
been cured of dinking by it."-From
