A: CtAHY Aot the Proper Man,?While we, ia common with other moderate conservative papers of tho State, eyudemn the premature canvass of uuuioa for tho nomination in 1880', nearly a year off^ other journals who think it necessary'to gnradc the virtues and clai^ s of their favorites to the high and responsible positiou of Governor 01 our State, without a proper regard for the u.iitv of the party or tlrn welfare of the comuiouwcalth, are thus early engaged in pushing these fuvoril&s upon tho consideration of the people. In doing this, of course, they challenge the voters to A cuuvassof their merits aud fitness for tho office. Already one influential, journal which tve jhavc no doubt spcaka by tin', card, has declared that '.he voters of that county will not support a prominent citizen for the positiou of Governor. Prominent among the names already announced, with his approval or acquiescence, is that of Gcucral Martin Uarv, of I 4< IU. NVliilo wo accord to General Gary patriotism and ability, and would give to liiui, if nominatod by a convention of the State Democracy, our lioarty support, wc tliink his nouiiuation would be a groat misfortune to the State, and a declaration by our people of an intention to abandon the elevated and dignified conservatism inaugurated by Hampton and continued and perpetuated under the mild and gentle rule of Simpson. Under this administrative policy the State has moved so easily and quietly that the people hardly know we have a government to support. Our enemies have called u> nuf/(/irr&, srccssiviiists, fire eaters, llut an* me at all familiar with the true history ot our State, and with the leading spirits wlui have shaped its policy and made that his tory lor a hundred years, knows that they and tire masses of our people are as lawabiding and conservative as those of any State in the Union. It is true that there is a small miuorit) of our pcojli who embody the principle; designated by these epithets, Jirr-ntfrrs etc., and who, at unfortunate periods it our State's history, have gained the car ol the people and control of the affairs <>f State to its ruin. There have always been twi elements in our State; the one, a majority conservative ; the other, impractical anarch ists. The one came into power on the 20tl December. ISliO, and went out with tin downfall of the Confederate States. Tin other, after a brief attempt at conduciitq our affairs, was thrust aside by th bayonet of the I lilted States arniv ami lin domination ensued. During these day of dark disgrace and disaster, many of tin one went over boldly to tlie enemy, or sc eretly supported their robberies, and bene fitted thereby. After eight years of abjec submission, the conservatism and tu:mhoo< of ill a St.ito, against the warnings and pro tests of those milk and water Democrats who sat upon the poh'tiatl fence, with om hand in the pockets of the Radical rubber and the other in those of the tax paycs overthrow the monstrosity, and after adopt iug a platform whose conservatism and ad vanccd liberality challenged the admiratioi of our most bitter opponents, selected as ; leader Wade Hampton, who embodied ii his own great heart and mind all that i noble, great and good in tin, history o .South Carolina, if Hampton is an cuibudi mcnt and type of the strong and rulinj conservatism of South Carolina, then Gary (lie only man of prominence in the Slab who h is dared to differ with him and pul) liely denounce his course, is certainly : representative typo of the opposition tie incut. In proof of this, it is a noticeable fact that most of those who now support his claims were strongly and blatantly op posed to the movement which resulted it the downfall of Radical robbery and rascal ity in this State.
