The Radicals charge that Judge CARPEN
TER corruptly withheld his decision iu thc
oaf*pf tho Rills of tho Rank of tho Stnto of
South Caroliua, unlil he could buy up a largo
quantity of tho Rills for speculation. Col.
SIMMONS, a distinguished lawyer of Charles*

at Allstop denies this chargo against CAR
PENTER. II says that immediately after thc
oloaoof tho argument thc decisiou was ron
dored. Thus will fall all the slanderous
charges agaiust thc Reform Candidates.

If you deny this with your mouth, while you
daily acknowledge it by your acts, why not
also reject tho emancipation of tho uogro and

of our defeat. Six years ago cither and ull

every citizen of thc South. Their mainten

Newberry College-Looated at Walhalla
Wo wish to spcuk to our readers in ror?jr
ou?o to this young uud growing institution.
Wo sholl say nothing of thoFuoultyj their
labors of love aro known. They nood no
praise at our bnnds. But thoro is'a subject
of which wo desiro to speak-a subject that
should interest the citizens of Walhalla and
surrounding neighborhood.
The Board of Trustees and tho Synod ?of
South Carolina arc anxious to secure tho per
manent location of this College in our midst.
'JV accomplish this, two things are absolutely
r jssury. The ono is, the Lutheran church
of South Carolina must support tho professors,
coutributo of their means to pay their salaries,
tho ueccssary amount nbovo the.tuition accru
ing from tho sohool This the ehurob will
do, if any assurance can be giveu that tho
building will bc secured for tho purposes
specified. Tho other is. that tho citizens of I
Uconeo, oud especially of Wulliulla must so
euro the building for the permanent use of
the College
A subscription is now beforo'the people to
accomplish this object, and a few have sub
soribed liberally. If others would as williug J
ly coutributo, and all subscribe aooordiug lo
their ability, the object would bo gained.
This must bc done within a 1few week??, for
tho result of thin cflbrt will briese ?tod, by
the Board of Trustees, to tho rVuod of South ;
Ciroliua at its next convcutiom*
If tho College now fails, or at least ceases
to be iu your midst, thc roasou will bc, tho
people of Walhalla have refused to furnish
the building neoossury to oarry on the exor
oises of the institutiou. Wc now desire to
ask the people of Oconeo a few questions, and
leave them to answer iu tho light of interest
and duty. Will you permit such an oppor
tunity to have in your midst a first class Col
lege, at such a small expenso, to pass out of
your hands? ?Are you willing tri scud your
sons away from home, or refuge to give thom
nu education ? l>o you not wish the prosper
ity of your town, intelleotuully^Hooiuliy and
morally? Come then to tho help, contribute
of your means, secure the building to tho
Synod of South Carolina, complete it, paint it,
beautify it, adorn its grounds, abd your sons
and posterity will, in after years, rise up and
call you blessed. We trust when Professor
AtiBixoTON asks for yourassistance you will
by no means refuse.
Reflntd Argamsnt
Tho Republican hu? discovered that lhere
is such a thing in the political world as "real
argument put forth with something of retino
ment. "Commenting on tho speech of Judge
CARPENTER at Lexington, it says: "On the
rostrum and io the prertu Itt us have truthful
statements and arguments thereon, and may
tho best side win. Either side can certainly
afford this. These constant ajtpeuls to thc
'?wer natures of men work almost infinite
danger."

of slavery, making exceptional casca of cruelty,

The Republican well knows these issues <ie
n >w beyond local legislation, ?nd can not bo
Uiod except to inflame thc passions and pr?
judices of tho negro. The Reform Candi
dates deal with tho rea] living issues of to
day. As they Ht'\r up thc cesspool of radical
corruption, thc odor is not pleasant to ho
nostrils of good citizens. This is what thc
party dreads. Our candidates ?re fighting
tho Devil with the lightning of truth and
honesty. Tliey arc tearing away the flimsy
veil from tho whited pepulehre. lt may he
their language is at times "coarse," but tl cy

Tiie radical howl from every corner of the
State, that ( ) A ft PR NT Kit is di?g?tisting the
whites and injuring the party would never
be heard, if the radicals did not know better.
They would never instruct him to his
advantage. Tho truth is the effect of thc
speeches of the Reform Candidates is wonder
ful. Thc radicals soe it and tremble. They
! Vf nit''rcfinod argument." In other words
thoy do not want CARPENTER to let "the
whole ca1, out of thc bug."
JKiy Bayard Taylor says : "Th<;ro is less
interestnow exhibited in literature and art, by
tho whole American people, th->n at any time
within tho last twenty years. Intellectual
activity has diminished, taste, has retrograded,
a id thc prospects of artists, authors, and pub
Ushers wore never so dull as now. There
arc fowor readers of books, in proportion to
thc population, than there were in 185"). and,
j with few exceptions, tho works which attain
j the greatest circulation ure of literary oh a ruo
J ter. Perhaps this is a Into result of thc war ;
1 perhaps it is an i o tc I leo td tl demoralization,
j partly owing to tho riso of shoddy and the
predominance of tho restless, speculative
: oleujent in all branches of business. I will
not undcrtako to oxplatu tho phenomonon,
which I believo to bo only temporary. The

"Tho opprossivo domination under which

If tho South possessed freedom of internal

tho advice we presumo to ofter As the Sou h

"From 18G? down to tho present time,
many leuding minds in the South have bedn

supreme ?ct nf political folly to split the Char
iest i Convention by the lamentable Sch is tn
whian brought two Democratic candidates'
Douglas and Brcekiuridoge -into the field
s gu i nut Lincoln, and scoured his first election.
The Northern Democrats who abetted that
schism wore syoophaiitS of tho South, not real
friends. Promineut among them were Ben.
Butler, who promptly deserted to tho radicals ;
Daniel S. Dickinson, who took office under
Mr. Linuolu j Caleb Gushing, who has been
the paid counsel of successive radical admin,
(strattons ; sud John A. Dix, thc submissive
t io) of Lincoln und Seward, in shuttiug up
tho offices of Democratic newspapers Those
aro specimens. The supporters of Mr. Doug
las, ou the other hind, pitched their profes
sions of friendship in u lower key, but have
maintained them to tho present hour. If
Mr. Douglas had been elected, we should
hive hud no civil war, and the South would
hive been exempt from its deplorable train
of consequences. Tho wisdom of Douglas
0 insisted in his correct appreciation of the
tone and temper of the Northern people. Ile
saw that the safety of the South depended on
a strong Northern alliance, anti (hut ?lieh (in
lillimur, wai practicable only on a busts oj
