"J This is an element of groat -mil i* iilvv.'ivs used and uvervwhere for p irp >ses of ikjv.iuti^o and coutrol, in political as well as in other matters, against V_ the weaker class. None of these facts arc taken into consideration, ami tliey are sutli cient to ice omit for the n itur.il growth of the Detnoeratic'p arty in the South from the ranks of the colored people. Now, with these great advantage* on the side of the white mm, is i' strange or unreason ible or ? won lerl'ul th it. living in the same section with the c ilore 1 men, who c institute a very large percentage of the voting pipulation. thit the iutelligiut white mm of the Suit h should u<e his p nver over the c ilered in in by argument, by pirsuasion, by position, by superior intelligence, by appeals to his own sense of good government, to tike sides with them in p ditic il questions ? Or, being owners of the property, and having the cipaeily to c mtrol and govern, it is entirely natural that he should induce the colored uian to vote ami act with him for his own "as well as the white man's interest. 1 ask if there is anything strange or u luotural in such a emr.se us this ? I ask if it is not entirely reasonable and proper th it sueh pourse should be pursue !? Why it is tlij uiiversil law th it governs everywhere throughout the w ?rl-l; v iy.should it not operate in South Carolina? The weaker lein 0:1 the stronger?the strongar emtrols the weaker; an 1 it' it is tor the interest of the stronger in in to control the weaker man by using his vote or his muscle, it is drie. It is ilme inM issichutetts, it is il m 5 ii> lllin >is, it is 1 >u jin S ?ut!i C irolin i.

No wotnar stands so high in positio n , or elegant accomplishments as those who i honor themselves and their husbands by a f thorough knowledge aud oversight of all s domestic duties. 5 No one can hope to hire those who will s bring the best taste, the nicest attention to l order, neatness and economy in little things, into the kitchen, together with a correct knowledge of preparing the simplest meal in a beautiful aud attractive manner; and yet all tbese united have a wonderful power toward making home life happy and prosper ous. And the absence of (hose charms, carcle-s housekeeping, an untidy and unattractive home and poor cooking have driven many i a husband to seek comfort and happiness > elsewhere. Those things which constitute the true charui of a homo cannot be f b >ught or ecured by the labor of hirelings. , It is only the mistress of the bouse, the wife I aud mother, through her love and union of interest with hor husbind mid children, 1 who, guided by her affection, will labor to I brim: that charm about her household which springs from systematic lab >r, scrupulous neatness and economy, a finely appointed I table, with food daintily prepared and served I with e.\'|uisite taste.
