As that astute man and rlpe ^chehir, Henry Fparnick Esq., of (he Alken Tribiine, says : "if as we apprehend ?? from the spirit alike of tho oposition Press, "and of Hie associations?be they called what they mny?which nre daily springing into . hjpii^g all over South Carolina, there should (^Jbe^ evelvcd any attempt on the part of those ^dhcJ ireprcBcnt to control the coming clcc . tipns by any ether agency than tho legiti mate ono, of moral persuasion, a condition tf public apprehension, similar to that which prevails in Louisiana, would obtain her?, end 'he burthcrn of the responsibility for it would bo placed, as ia that case, by the intelligent men of the North, Upon the shoulders of those who chgendov it by the satno instrumentalities. The result would simply be the instant and utter alienation of tho sympathy ^of the North from those who would resort to si ;h measures for the cor rection of cvilf?, t lie existence of which is not denied by the party in power." We trust the Opposition will bear this in mind. They arc in a helpless minority so long as they stand factiously arrayed ngninst (he Republican parly, ami, whilst occupying that attitude, can have no possible hope of bettering tho condition of public affairs ex cept with the co operation of their friends from abroad. That can never bo secured nor sustained by any resort to violence, nor by the adoption of any plan involving the infringement of the political privileges of any class of citizens. It is lo this view of the matter that we direct their attention not to point out a way for them to succeed in disintegrating our party, but to caution them against arousing a popular feeling that could not fail to be detrimental in its consequences to the good of the Stale. There is no room fcr misunderstanding the sentiment of the North on Ihis subject, nor is that sentiment interpreted, alono by the journals to which we refer. It is a part of (he National Creed, and it may not be either violated or ignored without bringing down on its infructors the National indignation and rebuke. Tor the public welfare, and for the sake of peace, the gentlemen who stand outside of our political household should view these considerations with the gravity they deserve It is more than criminal for such of them as are in the lead, by virtua of their supe rior intelligence, to foster any organization having for its object other than a legitimate control of the popular vole. It will bo worse than madness for the rank and file of their party lo follow I heir bidding if they do. Far better will it bo for them and their cause to hinge the accomplishment of t heir purposes .upon the sympathies of the country, instead of depending them on the passions and prejudices of a constituency linn may rend them in pieces if they fail of j succesr.. j What we ha\e .? ni?l has been jjiven us a warning to those whose circumstances in our County will not admit of (heir following tho dictat\on of old fogy leaders, to their utter ruin and dismay, and as a public journalist, what wc conceive to bo our duty in enlightening those with whom our past associations have been very plcasv.it, and who arc now more prosperous, even under corrupt Radical ru'c as they term it, than they ever were before. There arc tkoso in our Slate who are willing lo morrow to raise the fing of rebellion, wdiosc motto is "Rule or Ruin"?and there arc others of the opposition who aro willing to enter any ' ring,'.' to plunder the people of this State. As the Roston Advertiser says "tha cause of their complaining was (is) not that corrupt i men were (arc) in power, but that thoy did not share in the profits of corruption." ?? i?g?-.?. ?? The Free Citizen. We l ave received a copy of the first issue of the above named journal, published in our Town by Dr. A. Webster and editol by bis eon, Professor F. A. Webster. It is a neatly gotten up 24 column sheet, and in politics is Republican and in for a thorough reform of the Republican party in this State. This makes the third paper published in our go ahead little town, with the promise from Dr. Webster of another (Religious) in a few weeks. We wish the Free Citizen a glorious career, financially and otherwise. The editor, Professor Webster is a ready writer, and a gentleman of eminent ability and worth. Wo quote from his salutatory : Our influence shnll be given to make our beloved Slate a welcome home to th^-stran ger who may come to us to cultivate our un inproved lands and add to our moans for agricultural and commercial prosperity. The strange! has rights which wo are bound lo respect, and he should find safety and protec lion especially anywhere in his native land, nnd under the sheltering folds of the national banner he has fought lo protect. No section of the Country presents a more inviting field for the stranger than this, nnd his reception should bo as bland and cordial aB the. sunbeam that greets him wil h a warm caress, and the generous soil that responds witn such impartial liberality to the hand of cultivation. We do not start this enterprise in opp o sition to any other paper now published, but in its issues we arc using the matorial nnd aiding to consummate a plan which wns inaugurated years ago In tho publication of one of tho first republican papurs of the State. Wo expect to find afiold of useful ness which has hitherto reuiainod unoccu pied, and hope to contribute to some extent to tho advancement of those interests dear to the hearts of all thoso who love God ami their country. Wc ask tho indulgence of our readers nnd the charily that thinkoth no evil, and we anticipate that in due time wo shall convince thorn of the purity of our intentions and the sincerity of our wishes to promote the best interest of thoso who may be reached by our inllucnOc, Wc solicit (t liberal patronage, a fair trial and with this wo will hope for Hie best of results. No Injun?No Ducks. Wc once heard a story thus: Out "West nenr a frontier fort, built on the edge of a stroam that flowed through a prairie, lived an old Indian. Ouo af ternoon he came rushing into the fort for a gun to shoot sutne ducks that had just lauded on the opposite Bide of the stream. The boys, to have sonio fun, got bold of an old Spanish muskot, 1 and loaded her ncurly to tho mussel and handed her to tho Indian who started for the ducks. They followed on be laud to sec what would happen. Di rcctly they bcurd a terrible explosion, and thinking that the gun had burst od into D thousand pieces und killed the old man, they broke for tho scene ol the disaster. When in sight they saw the Indian crawling out of the prairie grass with his arms full of dead ducks, and a great gash on his check, with the blood flowing thcrcforin. On being approach ed by Ujjy boys" he bioke out with the exclamation?Wagh ! mo shoot big gun gen, soon be no Injun?no ducks. Tho .Mosaic address delivered Thurs day last in our County Convention teaches us that even under dilforont eiecutnstancec, a like moral may attach. Wo arc requested to state by the Chairman und Clerk of the Hoard of County Commissioners that they will be happy to furnish information concci u iug the financial condition of this County, and will dc so in tho next issuo of ibis paper, Sold Out The Netcs Courier uuoouueed sonio years since that it did not. care "n damn for principles ? it went for money," and no iulclligcnt, impartial reader cap well doubt that it has stuck weil to its platform- The Charleston Republican repeatedly stated that, true to its pi it farm, the News offered to, aud was aux ious to sell out "to tho parly," for tho printing when the Mercury still lived, At the lime that memorable jjispiteh, ??to hell with the veto?Y^ttfe bill," is eaid to hn'-ts bccO WtY^"^^W'*iriy by a good Democrat of the old lino Whig rcuua.-ion, the News was unblushingly advocating phtsphatcs. It unscrupul ously aided in the passage cf tho ster ling loan, and undoubtedly ''saw light" in the murky depth of that most oiltra gcous' Ewiudlc. Hut time and space fails us for more of these familiarly known frauds oT this corrupt sheet which claimed, with some show of rea son, to bo the mouth-piece of tho oppo sit ion }% Lot always -'goes lor the money " All remember its advocacy of F. .1. j Moses. Jr., for Covernor, twuyeirs ago. j and how it was paid. All know how j this sheet, which was tits ofiieial paper I for this Stute, nnd the official paper of j Charleston, suddenly' got its teeth on edge ivhcn it ceased tube. Hoc, to-day, when n few men are trying to expose tho huge bank fraud of their own party, how reticent the News can bo "Damn principles ? the News goes for money." lias the News sold out again to Cov ernor Moses y Most likely,most likely. ? Greenville Itepnblicnn. When, in 1S72, the previous record of Frank Moses was referred to as a reason why he should not he made governor, the party was assured that the, chief justice had such great influ ence over his son that ho might be safe ly depended upon to keep the young governor in straight paths. Wc have been disposed to Lelievo tint the Btrcngth of this influence was exagge rated, in view of the utter lailuru of the governor's administration of uflairs, his gross indecency Jof lifo, his thorough Khonudcs.sness in the rescuo of thieves and Fcoundrels from the meshes of the law. his brazen use of the funds of the blatc for his private purposes, his utter disregard of* his plighted word, his un blushing bargain and sale of offices, and his total disregard of the interest of the party which has elevated him for the lowest depths of social a.id pe cuniary ruin to its highest officials hon ors. Hut when wo see the chief justice laying aside the dignity of his position, running over tho state to secure the rcnomiuatiou of his reprobate prodigal son; in consultation with the enemies of the republican party as to the best way to kill oil tho effort to reform Moses out of power; inventing excuses, entreating bore, bargaining and huckstering there, there, and boldly defending the often scs of this political dobaucho, wc have been forced to the conclusion that ^ "like lather, like son" is a proverb which finds its truth exemplified in [South Cnroliua us iu every part of the jvorld ?
