Ita course from the day that it et!? ?otvT- eyi ? ' ' flj made its trat appearance upon the streets of. Orsngeburg. has beeu one of signal J f: successes, yet of remarkable summer ; 1,/: sftules- ? At ose tine soaring majestical ?'^'fy^ifb?TS the obstacles which proved the ?^"?sath or so many journals, and again i$om 01 * drooping its head below what, in the rnoifffc&Mophy of many, was deemed the ?od only true standard of merit and of success, c: 'li nes fonod its way up to the present ' time, its career having been interspersed, Kill ' q tbt3 tjoeantinte, only with that degree of change which is inherent in the cir cumstances attondant upon all earthly enterprises. That it has steered clear of * ' the shoals upon which newspapers too often ran aground, wc do not assert; bnt we do believe that it hna never been a < the foe of tho real interests of the 01 rnarses of Orsngeburg. Ita prosperity : has been, and is now, identical with ' .theirs. If they prosper their County's , , journal must advance likewise. Hence, it is almost impossible for vs to advocate ? line of policy detrimental to their wel fare. It has paid too many visits to their homes and firesides to turn upon them at this late day. For nearly seven , years it has held weekly communion with the citizens of this County, and so anx ious are its conductors to Bee it prosper ?? In the future, as it has in the past, that k*"*we,promise never to offend tho tasto of oru 'c. .... . , , any one. Thoso holding opiuions an tagonistic to ours, will be'treatcd with . ?t<*8 much courtesy through these columns, as those whose political creed and faith are in Sympathy with ours. That this journal will ever deviate from this jn in - . ciple, we leave to the futnre for demon Under ita present manage ment, no expression, which should be demanded by justice, or in the vindica tion ef asy individual, unfairly assailed, ' .' will be refused a place in its eolnmes : ftp v And in takinc, part in these questions 1 it shall always be our desire to be cour < i . (sous in our use of language ; but should circumstances force jus to an abandon* moot of this rule, it will he found that r'" we sre not too mild in onr manners for our severer nature to bo called forth . whenever occasion shall justify it. Anyhow, we pledge ourselves to the task * ' fjf endeavoring to do onr whole duty to the people of this County. If wo fail :' in a full accomplishment of tho work, it most be attributed to tm error of the ucau ana not ui iuo news* Another Say. Now that we have given a hasty de pression as to what tho Obanoebubo News has done, and promises to continue in tho performance of, in the future, it may not bo out of placo to say some thing of the situation of tho day. At present it is rather remarkable, Tho principles fought for and aoboived but yesterday, as it were?those which hare doue so much for tho elevation of a large gart of our humanity?seem to have been suddenly disrobed oi their . grandeur aud allurements, and many of | their former worshippers, in the mad whirlpool of political contests for per sonal preferment, are endeavoring to undo that, with the accomplishment of which, history records thshr labor as being inseparably connected. Horace firecley for instance, the man who hna ' done more in his way for the elevation Sod improvement of tho working classes tlytp any other, stands to dny in 0 rnlo distinct o/i.d separate from that which endeared hi in. to tho hearts of so many people. He who more than thirty years ?go presented himself to the poor and | the oppressed, aa their ohampion, and ?ho has &sghi the better por tion of his life with unremitting earn estness the battle of freedom, says now to his friends, "I baro shaken hands with you, sad design that my faturo shall ba spent in the ranke of my form, er enemies." The ideas so ably advo cated bj hin; the seal with which he held them up, as just before the world} the glorious political oode, so warmly supported sod fashioned in part by ski rsssstr hand ; the achievements of his mighty pen; the gratitude of the millions whose hearts si times havo almost hursted with admiration for him ; his world-wide reputation for sincerity and devotion to principlo?these, all these, he hss turned his back npoo, and to day with his hair silvered with frosts of so msny winters, spent in the prosecution of a great and good work, Horace Greeley is pointed at as the greatest liv ing monument of treachery to principle, the world has ever produced, lu truth, ho has gone back upon his own achieve ments. And yet, thore rro many Demo crats who can now pronounoe no other name but that of Greeley. Tboy accuse Judge Orr, and every other South Caro linisn who has seen fit to oast their lota with the Republican party, of all man ner of crimes; but they forget that in their mad denunciations of men of their own State, they betray an inooDsiatoDcy altogether unbecoming men, whose polit ical convictions are founded upon con scientious principles. Horace Greeley, who has been the life-long enemy of the South, and whom to day, they endorse against Grant, said in a speech in New York in 1871?only a year ago: "Gen. Grant has never been defeated, *nd ho never will be. While asserting the right of every Republican to his untrammeled choice of a candidate for next President until a nomination ia made, I venture to auggeat that Gen. Grant will be far better qualified for that momentous truat in 1872 than he waa 1808." When he uttered the above words, ho doubtless expected a cabinet appoint ment; failing to get that ho at once became the enemy of President Grant, as he was hitherto the foe ui the South. But if the Democracy can swallow him, it will auit us ; and so for the pre sent we will leave the philosopher of the Tribune. It has been over twelve years aiuce tho Republican party won its first victory. Since that time, mighty changes have taken place. Ideas that then seemed to have an oxistcnoo in tho minds of fanatics only, to-day are rocog nixed as accomplished and solid facts. What more is wanted to convince the skeptical that the world is progressing 7 Do not the changes in question show that there is a hand at the helm all mighty and infinite ? Only a few years sgo it was thought impossible, acd altogether improbable, that certain things, now facts as firmly established as the past accomplishments of history, should ever become apart and parcel of the elements whioh are to rule this country in the future. But it is so. Despite the cavilings of the prejudiced and ignorant, the generation which is to coroo after us, will reooguiic in the past decade a revolution on the side of justice and of humanity, great er almost than tho annals or um? ?a? or will ?vor produce again in so short a period. Over five millions of people who * quarter of a, ocntury ago could not catch tho slightest glhmpso of their deliver ance from-tin oppressive aod auti-chria tian bondage, now stand before the world and before Heaven, as free and' indepen dent citizens, equal in political and civil rights to the greatest of our country. Social barriers, that have proved suoh a ears? lo this lend, have bees partially broken down, the only vestige left of them being their not too fashionable aod over dressed representatives. Thoughts whioh. bnt a thort time ago existed only is* the mirM of the idealist, are now accomplished evidences of the truth that where God raises his hauet in defence of his creatures, justice to hu- j maaity and to Heaven will be there suit. A*d now after these changes in our eoadttiuO) is it not fbUy for our people to array themselves any longer against that whioh fato has-docrecd shalL stand os long art.diu country continues to have an cxi'tonr-e Ti there, any glory in de? feat 1 its humiliation7 Why, then, op pose that which is inevitable- ? We tell the white citizens of Orsnge burg County that there are none more anxious to aoe them represented than the conductors of thb journal; not only in the Legislature, but alao in the va rious County Offiees. But there is a pre-requisitc, an indispensable qualifica tion before this end can bs brought around, that has net yet been shown by the majority ot'the whites, and that is, a complete and unequivocal recognition of the rights snd immunities of the blaok msn. Until this is done, our word for it, Orangsburg county will go sgainst thorn. It is not the duty of the journalist to deceive his own or any other party. His mission ia to tell tho truth. To day we say that if the white people of j Orsngeburg County will make the pro per advances, we believe they will bo met half-way by onr colored fellow-citizens, provided aaid advances be made in good faith. "Judge Orr is doubtless obeying tbe bo bests of bis masters at Washington, but ex hibits in so doing a degreo of politioal tur pitude and degradation to which we had thought him iuoapable of desending. The people of this State may well exclaim to him, "?f tu Brute'.,' They have bestowed upon James L. Orr the brightest honors, and givau him a national reputation. For him now, to turn his back upon them, is evidence of the basesta ingratitude on his part, nnd we earnestly hope he will be repudiated as he deserve?. He has passed even beyond the pale of toleration and for him we havo no words 3STG those of reproach.? Wiansbarc News. Tho above oxtract will show how far tho partisan principles of some of our hotch potch quill-drivers will carry them unto the regions of tho intolerable aud ridi culous. For the Neves to assert that Judge Orr is guilty of base ingratitude, because he has the courage to raise bis voico iu behalf of the millions instead of the few is as paradoxical as it is unfair. Aud for it to aver that "for him"? iu consequence oi this?"it has no words save those ot reproach" reminds us of Moore's vor?es on a criticism written by Leigh Hunt upou tho works of Lord Byrou : "'Tis, indeed, as good fun as a Cynic could ask, To see this cockney-hred setter of rabbits Take gravely tho lord of tbe forest to task, And judges of lions by puppy dog habbits." Judge Orr, will be remembered aud thanked for his count-el to the citizens of this State when his present defamcrs arc veiled iu an ignomiuious obscurity. But ho "Must also bear the vllo attacks Of ragged curs and vulgar hacks." TiiAiUN of Charleston is on tho ram pagoagaiu. It will be remembered that in 1870, he opposed both Bjw en and Df> Largo. For months ho has boon labor ing under the hallucination that Con gress would seat him again in the end. They having iailed to gratifiy Mr. Tharin's happy dream, he ia looming up again : but if he meets with many suoh rebuffs as ho rocoived the othor afternoon, while attempting to address a crowd at White Point Gardeu in Char leston, it is not unfair to presume that the aspirant for Congressional honors will subside from pualio view. At least it is to be hoped so. ?'The colored race needs a second eraacipa tion. It is true they are no longer in personal bondage, but no one can give an impartial survey to the condition of things in the Southern Common wealths, but espec ially in this State, without beinpr convinced that they are in a complete and absolute condition of political servitude.?Charleston Courier The above means that the colored people arc not Democrats, and fools, and that thoy have enough sense to veto io favor of their own rights. Tho East Boy oiJ lady meant, to be facetious , that's all. iSbo gets in thoso moods now and then, but dnnt heed her, for she's a playful old clophant. ? ??? -?* * "Mr. Stephens may preach till he is LJtick in the face about Qreeley's past career, tis will be heeded as muoh as Canute was when he commanded the waves to rise uo higher Indeed, the people of Ueorgia have already trampled-Stephens and Toombs under foot aa if they were pebbles, or two mud-lumps lying in the road.-?Charleston News The News "may preach" agaioet Stephens and Grant till it ?e known to the world that it is out from "behind the ohurohj" and yet the people will not attach any special importance to its homilies: It may alsortop riding up the road with "Tim," but its sins- will re main against it still.
