THE ORANGEBURG NEWS Financial ani> Business Manager. Oiiicinl Paper of llic State and of Orangeburg Cow ni y. B&-TIIB ORANGEBURG NEWS HAS A LARGER CIRCULATION THAN ANY OTHER RARER IN THE CO UN TY. SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1871. Ijoolt I'-nck ! In our last issue wo bad :t word to say I about the scheme the Democrats ol' this State have put up to secure the votes of colored men in the coming election. We now desiro to say a few words to the honest and hard-working poor white men of our County. You who survived tho late and terrible civil war and who stood with other noble comrades the brunt of the contest, and came home sick, ragged and worn out, to find starving frionds and families to greet you, how stand you to day ? Do you ever rook back upon the lime when you were seduced from your sacred fire-places to engage in a ''rich man's fight and a poor man's war?" It was not "Tax Unions" then, but rosette-. Blue rosettes, and without one pinned to your breast it was almost worth your life to appear on the streets of your town, or the publie highway. When patriotism was belched forth iu liquid streams from the mouths of men in high places to lure you on to the war-path; when we stood and listened and drank of the cup banded us until wo were drunken; uutil, with one inipstuous shout, we sprang to the front to battle and to die, for what? Do you overlook back to the time whim naked, bare footed and "starved} wo. led the van. with the wails of widows and the cries of those made fatherless ringing in our ears; when we bared our breasts to war's cruel blast, whilst the majority of those whose fight it was, were secure iu bomb proofs, and speculating on the poverty of our seared country by blockade run ing; irheu the country was Hooded with exemption grist mills, and little corn found to griud; when your pay waj thirteen dollars a month in Confederate script, aud corn ten dollars a bushel at your starving homes ? Wo ask, friends and comrades, do you ever take a retrospective flow, and carry your minds back to the time when wnr's rugged path festered our feet? If you do, (ben listen. We would a word with you. Y'ou are free men to day. God's light of blessed liberty shines on your brows this morn ing. Wo know man}' of you. We know by bouest iudustry, you arc in a thriving way, that your acres have ftecn widened, your cum cribs enlarged, and your wives and children's wardrobes greatly improved, and we know that you have paid your taxes. It is not your land that is cold or forfeited to the State. No. But you have doubtless found it hard sometimes to raise the amount needed. However, you found it, and how many of you are ns poor to day as you were before you entered the army, to battle and suffer for the rich man's weal? Look back ! Did you ever think (we have) what would have been tho poor man's position here bad the Confederacy gained her independence ? Would the poor white man have been considered "as good" as the rich man's slave? Wasn't it "once upon a time" that a man was judged not accord ing to bis worth, iutclligeuee or hon esty, but by tho number of slaves ho owned ? Do you remember, when it was common to be called "poor white trash" by a rich man's slave? "Look on that picture, then on this." Phoenix like, from out of the ashes have you sprung. You returned from tho war iu poverty, with what littloyou bad luid up through years of toil Bwcpt away by its blast. "With neither horEO, plow or bread, you havo worked out a deliverance, and stand to-day a frco man, bound by no ahaoles, if you will it, aud surrounded by a competency beyond your lbud/sst anticipations, and far beyond the most of those who freely mado a sacrifice of you in part, to subserve their own interest*. Ab like in '09, so iu '71?then it was J blue ro.se*tes?now it is tax-unions. As it was then, a cry for protection to the affluents and tho aristocratic, so it is now,a squabble, (of tho largo hum owner, who loves his ancestral acres, and tho old Bourbon who loves office and tho tattings of tho land,) to get back into power and regain that affluence and authority once so hugely enjoyed. They j have tried various ways; the) havetrol don many paths?they b ivo damned Re publicans and they have damned princi ple? they have "wandered as blind men in tho htroets, they have polluted them selves with blood, so that men coald not touch their garments." These things have they done, yoa, oven more than this have thoy de ne, "stay yourselves and wonder; cry ye out, and cry ; they arc drunken, hut not with wine ; they stagger, but not with strong drink List! they have even bout the 1 fawning hinges of tho knee," they have "lickel the band that smote them" and lastly, they have turned to the really wicked, to the Tammanyite3, the chiefs of the modern Sodom, and rays of blessed hope irradiate their horison ! And thoy have come hack to you, an 1 their cry is help us, ere wc fin illy perish . They ask you covertly to put "uion -y in their purse"?"money, they m i-t havo money"?Dawson-like, "money is what we want." And it must come in the. shape of taxes, from the pockets of poor overburdened taxpayers, to give these Bourbons the opportunity to "collect" the taxes." First fifty cents a piece to be allowed the privilege of paying two iiuHh on tho dollar's worth of wh i! you havo labored so hard to accumulate, to enable'thcm to ring out the now an 1 ri ng in the old regime,aud you to have the j privil go of casting your vote- Cor them These Broad street bummers have check , certainly. Well, arc you going to do it? Look back ! Sec if you can afford it. So3 it" it will net be better for you to stand by the party that has stood by you; the great poor man's party; the party of progress and equal rights, the only party that has principle to guide it. Its puro garments have been soiled by base and designing men, but wont you help us cleanse them '! Wo have pure and true men iu our ranks?stand by us now. Wo havo stripped for the fight aud entered the coutcst iu favor ol an honest and economical administration of affairs ii this State. Wc want you to help us. If we win the fight and fail in these beneficial results, then to fate wc submit ourselves, and humbly bow our necks to its yoke, even wclc3 uiti; b vir hon pride and nfllucnco ttb*qun utla vonditionc. A FncH or Two. / Is it net a fact that the Republican party has brought di-gr.ice upon itself ? Is it not a fact that this disgrace has boon partly brought about by the de ception practiced by some of its leaders ? Is it not a fact that from pure greedi ness Republicans commenced quarrell ing among themselves directly after the party's organization ? Is it not a fact that the Democrats watched, these discussions closely, and resolved to profit by them ? Is it not a fact that our disputes have been growing year after year, till now they almost threaten to swallotf us up'{ Is it not a fact that base and design ing leaders should bo watched and thrown overboard and our splendid parly preserved ? Is it not a fact that tho disaffection of some men iu our ranks proceeds more from their Democratic proclivities than their alleged aversion to dishon esty ? Is it not a fact that these men are spotted, and will bo spurnod from us when the first opportunity presents it self? Ts it not a fact that some men who havo boarded up their ill-gotten gains think more of a Democratic vote to day then they do of the solid support or tho party ? Is it not a fact that thoy do this now because they itch for a kind" of quasi respectability, now that they arc rich? Is it not a fact that wo are willing to turn Blich creatures, heart, soul and body over to the party they long to join ? it is not a fact that we are going to redeem our party ' inside'' our own ranks and ask the opposi^pn no odds, and make it respected tit homo and honored abroad? Let Republicans discuss each other's merits within the party and sift out the best men, but don't "Ibr'aptta" give the Democrats a cue with which to break I o'ir <>wn heads. Let each man strip : for tho campaign, let eneh prudent j chairman prepare for work, for we tell you this old county is going to get such a shaking up this full as she never had before.

A committee consisting of an equal number ol' ICnglishmcn and Italians has been formed for the purposo of raising funds lor the erection of a monument to Lord Byron in Venice. When this great poet wrote his fourth Canto of <'bilde Harold, he did not dream that, perhaps, so soon as this, an clfurt would be made to ere et a monument to his mcmory in tho place tvherc "Tusso'a echoes n A1 no more, And silent rows 'he songlcss goiulolicr." It is meet however that his name should be thus commemorated upon this "Child of Ocean" of which he sang in IS1T: "I loYed her from my boyhood ? sin-tome Was as a fairy city of the heart, llisiuj; like wnter-columna from IlioBon, Of joy the sojourn, anil of wealth die marl: And Otwiiy, ItadoliiTo, Schiller, Slink o spoaro's art, Had slamp'd lier imago in mo, and even so, Although I found libr, wo did not part, I'erchnuco even dearer ui her day of wo, Than when she was a hoast, a marvel and a show." - [For tue "OnAxoEuuuno New?."] Lewisville, S. 0.
