As that astute man and ?k rfp^Lehernr, Henry Fparnick Esq., of the Tribiine, says: ??If as wc apprehend ' *i?! from the spirit alike of tho orosition Press, '''^'"unofef Hie associations?be they called what they may?Which are daily springing into being afTovor Fo'uth Carolina, thoro should *'<]fTJ* jo ?m n n ^volVcd any attempt on the part of those )c ^ ^Itigf.jireprcscnt to control the coming clcc ..

The result would simply be tho instant and utter alienation of tho sympathy 'of the North from those who would resort to such measures for the cor rection of evils, the existence of which is not denied by the parly in power." We trust (he. Opposition will bear this in mind. They arc in a helpless minority so long ns they stand factiously arrayed against the Republican parly, and, whilst occupying that attitude, enn have no possiblo hope of bettering tho condition of public affairs ex cept with the co operation of their friends from ubroad. That can never bo secured nor sustained by any resort to violence, nor by the adoption of any plan involving the infringement of tho political privileges of any class of citizens. It is lo this view of the matter that WO direct their attention not to point out a way for than to succeed in disintegrating o\ir parly, but to caution them against nrousing a popular feeling that could not fail to be detrimental in its consequences to the good of the State. There is no room fer misunderstanding the sentiment of the North on this subject, nor is that sentiment interpreted, alono by the journals to which we refer. It is a part of the National Creed, and it may not bo either violated or ignored without bringing down on its infractors the National indignation and rebuke. For the public welfare, and for Ihe s'?!;c of peace, the gentlemen who stind outside of our political household should view these considerations w ith the gravity they deserve It is more than criminal for such of them as are in the lead, by virtuo of their supe rior intelligence, to foster any organization having for its objcot other than illegitimate control of the popular vote. It will be worse than madness for the rank and file of their parly to follow their 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 that may rend them in pieces if they fail of succcsn. What we have ?uid has been given as a warning to Ihosc whose circumstances in our County will not admit of their following tho dictation of old fogy leaders, to their utter ruin and dismay, nnd as a public journalist, what wc conceive lo bo our duty in enlightening those with whom our past associations have been very plcasvnt, and who arc now more prosperous, even under corrupt. Radical ru'c as they term it, than they ever were before. There are thoso in our State who arc willing to morrow to raise the fing of rebellion, whose motto is "Rule or Ruin''?and there arc others of the opposition who arc willing to enter any ' ring," to plunder the people of this State. As tho Boston Advertiser says "the oauso of thoir complaining was (is) not that corrupt men were (arc) in power, but that they did not share in the profits of corruption." The Free Citizen. We have received a copy of the first issiia of tho above named journal, published in our Town by Dr. A. Webster and cditol by his fon, Professor T.. A. Webster. It is a neatly gotten up 21 column shoot, and in politics is Republican ami in for n thorough reform of the Republican party in th'iB 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 Freo Citizen a glorious career, financially and otherwise. The editor, Professor Wobster is a ready writer, nnd a gentleman of eminent ability nnd worth. Wo quote from his salutatory : Our influence shall be given to make our beloved State a welcome home to th^-stran ger who may come to us to cultivate our un inproved lands and add lo our moans for agricultural and commercial prosperity. The stranger has rights which wo arc bound to respect, and be should find safety and protec tion especially nnywhero in his native land, nnd under tho sheltering folds of the nntionnl banner he has fought lo protect. No section of Ihowhintry presents a more inviting field for the stranger than this, nnd his reception should bo as bland and cordial as the sunbeam that groots biin wit h a warm caress, and the generous soil that responds witn such impartial liberality to tho hand of cultivation. We do not start this enterprise in opp o silion to any other paper now published, but in its issues we arc using tho matorial and aiding to consummate apian which was inaugurated years ago In tho publication of one of tho first republican papers of the Stnto. Wo expeot to find afield of useful noss which has hithcrto remuinod unoccu pied, and hopo to contribute to some extent to tho advancement of those interests dear to the hearts of all thoso who lovo Cod and their country. Wc nsk tho indulgenco of our readers nnd the oharity that thinketh no evil, and we anticipate that in duo time wo shall convince them of the purity of our intentions and the sincerity of our wishes to proinoto tho best interest of thoso who may be reached by our inllucnOc, Wo solicit a liberal patronage, a fair trial and with this wo will hope for lhe best of results. "So Injun?dYo Ducks. Wc once heard n Blory thus: Out West near a frontier fort, built on the edge of a stroum that flowed through a prairie, lived an old Tndiau. Ouo af tcrnoou he coma rushing into the fort for a gun to shoot 601110 ducks that had just lauded on the opposite Bido of the stream. Tho boys, to have sonio fun, got hold of an old Spanish muskot, * and loaded her ncurly to tho mussel aod handed her to the Indian who startod for the ducks. They followed on bo hiud to Bee what would happen. Di rcctly they heard a tcrriblo explosion, and thinking that the gun had bunded into a thousand pieces and killed the old man, they broke for the scene of the disaster. "When iu sight thoy suw the Indian crawling out of the prairie grass with his arms full of dead ducks, aod a great gash on his check, with the blood flowing theroform. On being approach ed by tdj^'boys" ho bioko out with the exclamation ? Wagh ! me ?hoot big gun gen, soon be no Injun?no ducks.

When, in 1S72, the previous record of Frank Moses was referred to as a reason why he should not be 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. We havo been disposed to believo (hat tho strength of this iufluence was exagge rated, in view of the utter failure of the governor's administration of affairs, his gross indecency ^of life, his thorough shomelcsstiess in the rescue of thieves and scoundrels from the meshes of the law. his brazen use of the funds of tho btuto fur his private purposes, his utter disregard of his plighted word, his un blushing bargain aud sale of offices, and his total disregard of the interest ofthe party which has elevated him for the lowest depths of 60oial aud po ? cuniary ruin to its highest officials hon ors.
