THE ORANGEBURG NEWS QEORGI? BOMVEll, Financial and Business Manager. Ofllcinl Paper of tlic State and of Orangebnrg County B3TTHE ORANGERUHG NEWS HAS A LARGER CIRCULATION Tit AN ANY OTHER PAPER IN THE COUN TY, -^a SATURDAY, JUNE 27, isuT If car Ye, the Call! It is about lime for the people to begin to look around them, aud select from among the numerous aspirants for (fine, these whom they desire to serve them. That we must have good nnd true men is a fact pretty veil established in the mind of every man. Parties who have been in office, and are still iu effice, will bo called upon to give a clean record of their stewardship, and those fonnd unworthy must go by the board. "Wo ?ihs.II have pure men to fill our offices, nnd to represent us in tho councils of the State. We have such in our party, and they must be brought forward and sustained. Old party bucks and others who stay ou this side the 6,freamwhen full aud overflowing, ready and prepared when they drain it dry to step over on tho other side, are marked. The time is rapidly approach ing when they will find truth in the proverb, "be that walkcth uprightly walketb furely, but bo that pcrverteth his.(wajs shall be known." Being iu high petition now wont save them. The day Is rast when two or three men can run this State. And when it is saiQ that Moses, Elliott, Patterson and Chamberlain can say who is to be the nest Governor, a grand absurdity i culminated. The people, whose voice is bigining to be heard frctii the moun tains to the' sea board, who may be corrupt as a few, but honest as a whole, have determined (o say who shall be our licit Governor, and* who shah fill other petitions n.ado vacant this fall. Those who think that money will win, in any eveut,?who, regardless liow^thcfc rnake money ?0 they make it, and tboso who i.rc weak-need aud whitewashed, who thiuk they can forever impose upon the party that baB placed them in power, aud go ou iu persecuting and prosccut ing officials subordinate to them, simply to bo patted on the back occ?biou??y by the opposition, will find, when wc roll up our majority of fifty thousand next November, that "Mene, Me no, Tckel Upharsin" has again becu writtcu on the wall. i Wo eay to our friends in this County tho timo is rapidly approaching when you will have to cast your votes for Governor of this State, and your votes n ust be cabt for a mau who can redeem what we have lost; a mau who will, with a strong-arm, girded around by intelli gence truth and honesty, restore to the llepublican Party its brigliest laurels, laurels which have been plucked and trodden under foot by base and design ing leaders;1 Our deliverer is at baud ! Our champion is buckliag on bis armor, and when the buglo sounds the calls our gallant Parly will bear him triumphant into the chair of State. And oh, then we will have a clcauiug out of tho temple, then will wo turn tho streams that cleansed the Augean Stables, through our stained, but boauti fu'. Capital, und cleausc her as sho never was cleansed before ; aud when Gods sun in mcridiau Bhtncs on her domes and portals, tho glimmer will be seen ?slid felt all over our beloved State. The "child is born," and bio name is Dauiel. Frionds, prepare to follow your leader. Stand 1>y Your Colors. The great^ unwashed imps of Tam many, are marshalling their hosts? Grangers are sounding their horns, and Tms. Unions their whistles, (aud tho sound' of the latter is very much like the dog-whistle of a Broad street whip per-in) add tHo sounds thereof aro hoard V&f ufe!fft$o'a,I3 'iptcrprotod, thoy moan, ?'On tho watch-tQwerft',- jCopirados, pro pnro to stand, by your guua." These guns are loaded with deception and fraud and will belch forth doublo the usual amount of venom from uow until November next. Every one connected with tho Republican Party in this State, in any way, will get .'is sharo. Nothiug will satisfy these would bo saints, but nu unconditioual surrender of tho State Government into their hands. The want of office, or the emoluments of office, have nearly ruined their digestion, and the whole crew have become a party id' dyspep tics. So far has too diseass affeetoJ their body-politic that they expector ate daily and hourly (mixed with their indigested food) great quantities of bile. They squirm and throw this bile o;i all who dare to diflor with them in polities, and thief, liar, robber, villain, scoundrel. dog, poltroon, scalawag, carpet bagger , have become as sweet sounding words .to thorn. They are polled under their tongues until polished, and slilofrotn their mouths like gliding water. Ugh! we arc sick of it. We say to the Re publicans of this State, it is time tint wc should show our manhood. Stand by your colors ! Don't let the opposi tion throw dirt in your eyes, a* has been done, while they trample your bin ncrs ii: the dust. Look to your arms. Wo have a mighty warfare before in. Wo have traitors in our camp, as Well a-* au invidious foe in the front. The lirst we must hang, lock up, transp ?rt, or sin >t; aud then with "victory" omblazoned on every banner, wo will bring our fifty tjj >il j sand majority to hear and Lin air wi}l ring, from the sea board to the tuoiitains, with the glad sound, "we have fought the good fight" ar.d have won. Our house has been cleansed. Good men and into are our leaders, an 1 hi nrclbrtli and forever so let it he. But, friends, to accomplish all this, look to your "color guard:" Let those who carry your banners bo men of I intelligence, honesty and worth?wc have plcuty eof such in or.r Part}'. Don't select men to represent you, who on account of their ignorance and drukcnnc?s, will be again kicked out of tho counsels of your Statc^_lloa-lt _ i -? ?r-a ' ? select a political humbug to be your principal standard bearer?one sush is enough for a lifetime. Swear upon your altars, around your sacred liic plaee in your humble homes, that intelligence, honesty and worth shall bo your guid ing star, aud a glorious triumph will thcu bo ours, and the honor of our State and Party redeemed. "On to llichiiioml." The Union Herald warns Republi j cans ol' the danger that might follow a I desertion of their colors. Wc answer back our distinguished contemporary, j and say that in standing by our guns j lice our only salvation ; but in doing so WO shall demand of the OCXt State Con vention? First?The nomination, of a ticket j that will at once commend itself to tho people for its intelligence, worin and ! honesty. Second?[t must contain moral and political virtue enough to in pire the j people with a bettor regard for law, and tho hope of a better slata of affairs. Third?It muht carry with it the charm of a solid protection to the pco pic's rights, aud their properly. Fourth?It must bo a guarantee that taxation will be lowered, and specula tion in high places condemn j! au d brought beforo the public, in order that j the perpetrators thereof may be pun ished. If the Convention will ^tve us a ticket possessing these qualities wo shall not only s taud by our colors, but help iu the work that will . piunt them onco more firmly upon the hill top of victory. If the Convention fails to do this, wo shall Jiang a^aprigof tho willow tree where wc now hope to display cur flag of victory. Candidates for Congressional houors continue to pop up all over Georgia liko mushrooms after a rain. They aro all honorable men and 'don't want office; their muin desiro being to help the 03un try out ofita present-financial ombara?B meat' ... Wltnt Republicans Have Dune Over one hundred -years ago the Quakers became possessed of tho fpirit of' abolition, and we believe they went bo far as to cx-c-uuitimnioato slaveholders . The subject from that period forward obtaiucd a wider and freer discussion, and some years after the time of Wool man and Bc.iiC7.ct, Olnrkson and Wil berforco sprang up. It was about the year 1787 that tlie latter commenced in the Imperial Parliament, to declaim against tho slave trade. The sentiment was ? also being discussed here, and whether of trans-Atlantic manufacture or not, was agitated in the churches, and latterly in Congress by tho Republican party,uutil it culminated in the late civil war. That struggle led to tho abolition of American slavery, and to-day the former "hewers of wood and drawers of water" are clothed with all the rights of freemen- They have become a part and parcel of the government of this country, invested with all the powers which white men arc bound to respect; it is, therefore, foolish for a croaker to say to the black man -'I have no need of thee." One is dependent upon the other?both have a common country to uphold, and, in our opinion, their inte rests will become ffo identical after a while that the prejudices which exist between the two. will be entirely forgot ten. The war in which South Carolina drew her sword was wholly in the fur thVrancc of u sectional interest, and now that that interest is obliterat.il forever, we cannot see wfty there should not b: a complete regeneration of things under the new system. It is certainly the hoi-i, and with the Union restored, would be more lasting and unqucstioua bly the most honorable. Let the bloody struggle which w^asdliaugiiratod to fasten with a deadly ?rasp Qi'e curse of slavery upon the South, be forgotten, and let the olive branch of pbaco take the place of the animosities which tend to keep the old wounds bloeUtrig. If we want to gain the real frieu&hip of the North, bitJj^^ej;tiiaAu'. friifffg^ iimrtHjersniorU" ercd, fur so sure as we are writing, tin Federal Govoruuien\ .will not extend any sympathy to a people who aro eternally engaged iu" fanning the old flames of secession.

We have all with which to demand thq support of the tuis.es ; the opposition have all to be u sham ad of. Vet if good and Iiouest men, cuter tainitig different views, will join us, we shall extend to them the right ln-i 1 of fellowship, and promise that their opili ions shall be respected?"inside our lines," but never out of them The principles of our party aro bro id and liberal, and our platform wide enough to bob! every man iu the State, from the bigottod sorehead to the humblest of the conservative party. This beiug the cas'o, we caunot linderst uul why our bretbrou of tho opposite persuasion should object to a small trial of our doctrines.
