November next is to dcoido whether this country is to be a Republic of white men, or a nigger despotism. Send for (Democratic documents. Establish yonr outposts. By tbo light of your watch fires read Democratic arguments, aud digest Democratic truths. Get ready for the ballot box. Let ovory man who has a vote, prepare to deposit it. Organ ize, Democrat, for tho purpose of bringing out all yonr physical strength; men aro wanted now; number* arc tho grand desiderata. The biggest count in every hamlet, village, town, city aud State.is what will givo us victory, the time for long speeches is over. If tho past eight years havo taught us nothing, if the reign of blood, torror, rascality, crime, treach ery and crushing taxation, has not settled the verdict that we ?inuld render at the ballot box God help us, for wo shall i> ore than over heed His help. If Mongrolism conquers us in November, the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah would bo a blessing to us. Better death than a nigger government, with all its entailed hor rors. Democrats, tho titro for notion is at band. Form clubs,, sond for-journals, con solidate, unite, present a solid phalanx to op pose tho infamous foo, at every voting placo. Strike terror into his cowardly heart. Ho will see that <<o carry tho biasing shield of Truth. Wo do not know our power, Wo underrate our strength. Wo aro not awaro of our invinci bility. Wo are clothed in the an.. >r of justice. We are guarded and guided by tl?. great Con stitution. We have right and might on our side, and we havo only to strike manfully in order th secure a lasting victory, which will redeem us from prospective slavory, and c?ufor price less blessings upon posterity. Orgauizc, Democrats ! 1?meet weekly ; get the docu ments; road, agitato, work; bo vigilant; eter nal watchfulness is tho prico of liberty, for it is too precious to be left ono moment un guarded. Make up clubs, and keep them alivo in fives up to fivo hundred from now to November, and then "go in" strong for tho Democratic cause?New York Day Book. dcrcd Southern white and black outrages. The Radical * papers are f?ll of sensation accounts aud denunciations ot tho murder of Ashhhm, in Georgia, but thoy say nothing about Ifca white, onc-armod eXrConfedorate Boldier who was shot do d on his horse recently near Seh ma, Alabama, or of the other four white men who have bcou murdered in-the same vioiujty1 since tho war and no ono arrested for th($e murders. No, we hear nothing from these Radicals of the numerous other tuurdovs of ;,ho conquered Southern whites and outrages ,'pM them in other localities of the South becajuie there is every reason to bclicvo this is work of the black loyul lcagcrs. At a pul|ic procession aud meeting of negroes nt Maou, Georgia, on Muroh 30, tho "loyal blucks" one ricd a banner on which the figure of u negro, cut in pasteboard, hung dangling from a gal lows, and to which was attached on a picco of white paper, tho following inscription: ? '/Every nian that don't vote the Radical ticket this is tho way we want to do him?haug hjui by tho neck." These Radical loyal league ne groes boldly proclaimed, too, that the negro who failed to register should receive thirty nine lashes; if ho failed to vote at the electic? two hundred lashes, aud if he voted the Deim. cratic ticket he should be hanged. Need ve be surprised, then, that white Southerners ^re murdered in every part of the South and tT^t the murderors are not arrested '{ The NortH ern frionds of these black barbarians prebfiji. not to know anythiug about their lnurderota doings. It is olear that tho South under Ruli eal rule is fast tending to anarchy .and tfv| worse condition than St. Domingo was evcri*. [Arct? York Herald: At a meeting in Illinois, a resolution was offered, suggesting Mr. Pcudloton as a Demo cratic candidate for President. Mr. Springe), of SpringGeld, opposed the motion, aud said : ??'Again, I am frank to say that I do uot know whether Mr. Peudlcton is the proper man rb nomiuate or not. Aside from the ques tion of his unavailability in some of the States, I have another question that I would propound to him before I should favor his noiuinatbn for the Presidency. I should want to kuow of Mr. Pondleton, whether, in the event of his constitutional election, countiug out the negro voters of tho negro State governments of the South, he means to ho President, ever? if he hac to bo sworn in at home, and fight his wny to Washington nt the head of an organized Demoorutie army ? I fear it is coining to this. The Radicals mean to count the negro votes of ton negro governments, which havo no mbr right to be counted than have an equal numbu of votes in Hayti or Liberia, in order to eloo their man. If wo uro going to submit to thij Outrage, wo may as well quit now. For I tell you wo cannot carry enough States at th North to overcome tho negro votes of th South. Henco I am for no man for Presided who is not willing to stake his property, hi lifo, his all, for the cause; and if constitution1 ally elected be willing to draw his sword, oal the Democratic hosts to arms, and claim th Presidential office at all hazards ! If Mr. Pen dlctcn will do this, then I am for hitn, if uot] I am against him, If wo moan 'business,' let u understand ourselves, and uot accordingly. l\ child's play I want to bo counted out." An interesting easo was 'concluded in the District Court yesterday. It will bo remember ed that on the twelfth of Pocomhcr last a fire occurred on the premises 345 King-street, then occupied by John Madden as a dry goods and shoo store, the circumstances of which sugges ted the probability of its being of an incendiary origin. An examination was conducted by M. II. Nathans, Esq., Chief of tho I'iro Depa> t ment, aided by ono or more members of t. Board of Fi. o Masters, Lieutenant Hcndrieks, Chief of tho Detective force, and some exports, tho result of which pointed tho finger of suspicion at Madden, who was shortly after wards indicted by Attomoy-Gcnoral Unyno for an attempt to commit arson. This suspicion was strengthened by the fact that Madden had his stock of goods insured for an amount vory much larger than its value, as appraised im mediately alter the fire, and tho additional cir cumstance that tho fire begau beneath tho flooring of the store, and in a loonlity to which access could only bo obtained by tcariug it up. Mndden and his wifo wore indicted, upon tho strength of these facts and suspicions, at the January term of tho District Count, but whou the case was called he came into court, repreeeuting.tho nbscnco of witnesses -who , were material to his dofouce, obtained a trar?rSo and was released upon giving a bond of one thousand dollars for 'his nppcarauco at j the i present, terns Hnth Mot?rs.

Tho issue was tried howovcr, aa against his sureties, and the testimony fully established tho facts repreacti ted, and' terminated' in the conviction of Mad den, but a vordict of Acquittal as to bis wife. Th& result is that hts sureties are mulcted five hundred dollars each, and 'tho Company in winch ho insured enjoys an exoneration for their liability for the amount of his policy. Courier 25*A. Conquer with Kindness. I once had a neighbor?a clevor man?who came to"nie one day and said, "Eequiro White, I want you to come and get your geese away." "Why," said I, "what are my geese doing?" "They pick my pigs's cars whon they arc eating, and drive theui away j and I will not have it." ".What can I do,,' said I. "You must yoke them." "That I have not time to do now," said ? "I do uot sec but they must run." "Ifyou don't take care of thorn I shall," said the shoemaker in anger.?-"What do you say, Esquire-'IVhito ?" "I Cannot take care of them now, but I will pay for all damages." . "Well," said ho, "you will find that a hard thing, I guess." So off he went, and, and I heard a terrible squalling among|the geese. The next news was that throe of them was missing. My children went and found them terribly man gled and dead, and thrown into the bushes. "Now said I "aTlJcecp still and let nie pun ish hiuik In a few days the shoomakcrs' hogs broke iuto my co,m.<? I 6aw them, but let thorn ^rotnaiu'n long tune^?

"Yes, Sir," said I, "hogs love corn, you know : they were made to cat it." -How much mischief have they done," "O not much !" said I. Well off ho went to look, and estimated the damage to be equal to a bushel and a half of corn. "O no," said I: "it can't be!" "Yob," said tho shoemaker, "and I will pay von evcrv ennfc of th* ^"riaire." ?^The shoemaker blushed and wont homo The next winter when he came to settle, the shoemaker determined to pay me for my corn.

The expenses of the trials homo by the public amount to about the same sum. The judicial election iu Chicago, resulted with success to the Democrats of 500 majority. Twenty-throe thousand votes were polled and the Democrats gain 2500. The Marion (S. C.)
