Salutatory,
Having taken charge of the edito
rial dopartment of this paper,commu
nicat-on upon any subject other than
'business, will hereafter be sent to my t
addross. In politios,jI shall advocate
the doctrine of State Rights in all of
its forms, as the true solution of our 1
present embarrassments. Though se
cession has proved an ihaudequtlc mode
of asserting tho doetrino of State Sov
oreignty, and - though it is now tic
inonstrated that the Union is too
strong to be peaceably broke!n, events
have also proven, with equal clearness,
the wisdom of those who foresaw the
purpose of the black Republican par
ty to destroy the States, and who now
boldly charge it with bringing on the
war. The wolf, on the upper stream,
accused, like this party, the lamb de
siring peaccably to drink below and
seeing itself threatened, betaking it
self to the right of escape conferred by
the constitution of nature, of vile ind
outrageous rebellion, fell upon it, and
tore it to pieces. Doubtless, too, said
wolf then licked its bloody jaws, and
oxclaimod, 1ike the R adical itencgade
of the South, with complacent satin
faction, ",impracticable J1low / lie
tried to got away, did he ?"
I hold there is no truth, even in
Mathematics, that is not subject. to
charge of im racticability. For ex
amplo, all plain Geometry starts out
upon the definition of a straight lino.
Now I ask, has any one over seen the
anathomatieal straight line ? No, it,
is a mental eoneeptiion, "a mere thee..
ry," to use the popular language, for
it "has length without either breadth
or thickness." "It is impracticable,"
to draw one. Yet, I reply, such lines
proximating the mathemnatical eon
noption, lead us to eminently useful
discoveries. 'l'ho ffort to attain the
impraotieablo theory of two parallel
straight lines, lays off every corn and
cotton field in the country, though I
admit that "more cotton grows in
crooked rows than in straight ones."
Lot ploughmen abandon the impracti.
cable theory" of two parallel linesn, or
of two linies every where equidistant,let
thom like the radicals, thme negroes, at
least, literally, but really the whole
party' (for theoy deal .in short-sighed
and foolish tempera ry ox pod ionts,)
just follow after their ulto, and
what becomes of ploughing I I shall
roturtn to thIs subject once mocro.
In matters conoeorni'ing the Distriot,
1 shall advocate the establishment of
n joint-stook moenied institution dhevo
ted exclusively to assisting our citi
senis. I shall advocate a working, and
not a spochlifying Agricultural Socie
ty. I shall advocate every mnoasuire
chlonlated to conciliato and imtpr'ovo
our colored citizonis, the groat labor
ing class to which we nmst look for
years to comno. I shall aidvocato im
3nigration as not hostilc,but beneficial
ini its tendencies to our present labor.
Courtesy to opponents, under all cir
cunmstanoes, and a willingness to hoar
their arguments, and to somo extent,
to publish themtt, siince there is but one
printing ofhico in thm ])istriot, shall
guide my conduct. As far as in me
lies, I shall observe thme eleventh Coin
nandment,--'"Mind your own busi
*ness and lot other peoplo indt
theirs." IIENJ.11t. STUART.
An Imnpraoticable Theory.
Such was the flippnt remark of
"leadIng meon," when Columbus pro
posed hia wonderful voyage, wvhich, if
all oircumstances be remembored, is
. perhaps the most romiantio nelaieve
ment upon the pages of history. And
ever since, earnest advocates of truth
or enterprise have been disgusted by
the same senseless cry. Tihe theory
* of States Rights, time keystone of the
arch of tihe American systom, hats boti
pironothiced <impractIcable," and
)any of us, whtoso reason had been
atpetggprod and beelouded by the disas
. tors of war, woro tempted, by this fal
4ediadIous objootions to renounce our ear
1icr and purer faith, had to look anx-.
iouslyr for somno better theory amidst
~ ~v'3e paya ot so-called principles
p~t2e2d by the Radipal party, and
fl idthey given urn assurance of a I
0m~oi truth, broad enough to [roAt a
dibonb's destiny upon, we had chneer-.
ioi' ydry bosAhe'risB naf tho v.ilrct
ad modt wretcho d- falehoods; and
10' morost lypocricise ; "nihibood
iffrage," &c., for example.
Now we admit, that States Mk glhts
I about as im praeticablo as plough
ig in parallel straight-lines, but the
loal is just as true and just as full of
omnon sens ; for just as the cifort, to
lough in parallel lines result:; in
ood ploughing and a well laid off
old, so the eflort to respect the rights
f the States and the theory of State
overeignty, has ever produced, and
ver will produce peace, Iprosperity
md uniioll, under it loved and benili
cnt Federal Uovernment.
Wo have never known whether or
iot to agree with a valued friend.
'that the world must have been in a
.cry uncivilized condition, %]whenl (od
hose the Jews ; but We feel very sure,
hat the JewVs regarded their -reat
Bader as ''impracticable'" when ihe
ingorod oi ithc lount, whecne he
rougtht the ten coijnm iitaents writ
on by the finger of God. And so
hey m-ide them a golden calf, as
'somiething tangible, soiniciigsuited

te confess, that we regard the fen
oimandmeats (and we beg pardon of
ll inlidels, murderers, adulterers,
hievos, backbiters and misers) as
ibout the best tling that we have
eIn on the subject ; but we also Col
'ess, tihat they are "an impracticable
h1oory." For certainly no single
nan now alive has ever conformed to
he ten coimmandiments, his duty
,bough they be ; and to ex ject. moi
kind generally, either North or South,
and more especially South, to do so,
while the .R ad ical party is florescent,
strikes its as a mst preposcerous, a
inost vision ary, a lhost, "impracticable
theory." 'T'le Radicals arc opposed
to States liiglita. It need not sur

I have been requested to give :t
crude draft of a Chart or for such a
company, and shall d Soi, a fter11 an
swerilg two -' ijectionsm. First " W hirt
will you get ready money (for re:ad
money is the key to your plan) in the
Iesent, impoverished state of the Ieis
sive combination, and by n'uluerom
small contributions,payahlo in annual
instil ments, extending over a serie.
of live or six years. See section be
low. It is lei'(ause "we are poor and
unable to raise money'' (hat c)bflin.
lion is a necessity to effect anything
really important in result,a nd because
''we are 're, poor tha lt the comin.
tion should lie rery/ e.etensire, and thtc
shiares of' thea comtpanty i'ry! sma(l/, hut
$'25 each, so thant thle amnont solicitedi
as acontribuation fr'omnehLlst ock-hioldle
will lbe simaller' than wulmt he conll
afford to give and far nmore to lead at
interest on the most availablle securi
ty. The obijector ad miits, thait 'caidy
muonoy will do it.'' ilo admits, that
more labor is needed, for its own sake,
and because it witll st imlate what we
have to greater efliuieiicy. limt "we
are ahlnost st arvinmg."' 1/' so, I reply,
sometlthlin g imst, be done, and no0 sinughe
mian being able to do mucli, we shouhd
comie. it is timo11 f'or us to learn
the eliciencey of' an extensive comb ina
nation. Thie .Enporer of the Fench

er day, so to speak, asto(n i.,bm thme

from thme poorer classes of' hiis people
ill very smiall amounts, thus ap
peal ig to their individual interests,
public spirit, pat riot ism and nat ionalI
pride. Is not the quest ion of labor a
riar more vital qjuestion with us ? is
ehill penury so gracious a sov'ereign
that we should hug its munnbing
shains? Should wo nmot rathter unite
(for union is strength to fling impov
orishimenit off? 'The rich might afford
to "let things settle themselves.''
r'ho rich, if there bo any'suchm in Fair
hiold I)istriot ; but the poor must com
bino upon some other . plat form thant
sontinued poverty and1( distress ; uipon
bhe platform, rather, of intelligent on
torprise upon some well-conisid ered
md steady plan. Croak no more,
~herefore, of "want of money.'' It is
in argumnent for net ion, and at once.
2. "Biut we want Iimmigranit eapi.
alist to como1, and buy, and go to
u'or't thiemselves, not sil nply laborers.'"
r'o this~, the best answer is, that you
nuat build uip a conlgenialeetwy, atnd
lhen the immigrant capitalist will as.

of the whims and fancies of anly :ingle

ohrtstlanity is almost gbno. He used to
worship God with our fathers and with us. 1
1't niow, his worship is turned to Infernal
nightly secrot "Loyal League". meetings, in
which, instead of freedom, ho has, at the
point of the bayonet to tremble and swear
to support his party right or wrong, nod
this i3 your bunstedi fudin, Ls it? A ay
with it, it is rotten, feeble, ruinoe ,, degrad
ing and vile ! You call this freedom ? only
in name ! It is the worst slavery on earth I
Whait, to vote tt the bidding of another
man's will, at the point of the bayonet and
be free I 1 oc ! to such freedom ! ]lase and
unkind, treacherous and shortlived, it si.
vors of perdition, and brings ruin, war, des
truotiota and hell. Oh, Radical freedmen,
would you le free in truth ? Burst the fot
ters of "Loyal Leagues,-' cone out for De
tnocrary, for the people, your country and
your Godl, be on te sido atpprovedl by Goel,
and he, will bless, protect and sustain you,
give ease, prosperity, peaco and happiness
to is all.
The Democrats would give you low taxes,
low prices for provisions and necessaries,
high prices for cotton, with wages and low
rents. Under the Ibils you havo received
hard and unfair contracts, imprisonment
and title, low wages, high rents, and high
priced corn, meat, &c., "Loyal 'Leagues,"
oh, shtnme ! Suchi a party, poor freedmen !
Too blinl to see the truth, too deaf to hear
reason, too ignorant. and supersticious to
utialerstand wislom, and too cruel even to
your own race, to love mercy or to be chris
tin:t s, as you sholdt, and too jealous, sus
picious and envious, to love or trust your
et'y and real friendts. All this is strictly
true; that would freedmen make the ac
knaowledgement ? Not apt. Then, are all
of them as represented above? Not all.
Thank (llod, the holy light of knowledge,
polit ical, civil an-a Chrlstian, is beginning to
burst into their minds, and many of them
now see their delusion, and are awakening
to their duty, and are now swearing eternal
enmity to Rtadical'rule and oppression, and
comking over by scores to the good old Do
muocracy!
The Freedmen have been fooled, cheated,
belied and betrayed by the designing, ava
ricious, croaking, fawning, hypocritical
demamgogues,aindt ricksters,who are fat tening
vatmpire-like, upon the spoils and plunder
of ollio, until by dear -bought experience,
inniy have learned, that the fanatics are
their enemaies, the Southerners their only
frieiah. Now I ask, is it right, after the
whole South, by each State seperately, in
its acknowledged sovereignt y, has freed you,
voluntary given you your liberty, that
you sldat htato us and love the Radicals ?
It is not right. What ! Africans, love the
very tnen who stole some and bought some
of I heir fathers, and brought them over to
(te Nort h in this cotntt-y and put thei into
slavery and afterwards sold then to South
erners and put i he money into their pockets
and .ot love the Southerners, who freed you
without pay ! (have you your liberty with
out, price! 8na for what? because; we
thought you might. be able to take care of
liat, even With (lie Rads to help you,
have you been able to do it? no, indeed !
To-day, the freedmen in the South, ar less
cared for, leis fed, more meagerly clad, and
nore debased,and therefore more d isgraced,
than ever before in this country, and why ?
llecause your olh owners have been debarred
from inanaging and providing for you, by
the avaricous oflic and power' hunt-er- , (th

Fourth of July.
This day, onco so full of life and
merriment, passed off very quietly
in our town, our citizens attending to
the daily routine of their business as
usual. We are a subjugated people,
and actions prove it. Our liberties
are gotio, nor can we feel assured that
noxt Fall's political reaction will be
strong enough to restore them. The
truth is, we must restore them our
selves. ,Fourth of July but recalls to
our minds mournful recollections of
the past, and conjures up gloomy foe- .
bodings of the future. Is this tho
freedom for which our fathers fougl,
Is this tI freedom that will content
our young men and our children ?
No. But be silent, thought. Work,
but be still.
Death of Colonel Win. J. Alston,
We regret to record the sudden death
of this gentleman on Saturday last. Il1
is said to have fallen dead, while walk.
ing across his room, from a stroke of
paralysis. Col. Alston frequently rep.
resented this District in the General As
sembly, and took an active part in its
affairs.
Pay Up.
Persons indebted to us for Advertis.
ing, Job Printing, Subscription, &c.,
are requested to come forward and
settle the same. We wish it distinct
ly understood, that we don't do a
credit business, and want all the
money due us. So feel about your
old clothes, and come on.
Immigration,-A Request.
Citizens interested in the meeting
proposed on the 13th proximo, are re
questod to embody their views in
brief, practical resolutions to be pub.
lished as hints for the considoration
of the public. Let those who propose
to donato land, for instance, thus sug
gest a mode of organization and pro.
cedure. As long as an idea is vague
and not brought to the test of practi
cal action, it can meot with neither
earnest opposition nor enthusiastic
support.
"My Parole."
We call attention to the romarka
blo composition, "My Parole," to be
-found in another column of to-day's
issue.
The Land We Love.
The "Land We Lov" for July con
tains fifteen articles from the best wri
ters of the South. Comparative Gen
eralship is the first of the two articles
on Grant's military career. The
causes of "Decay of Religion at the
South" are treated in a masterly man
nier. "Cicero's oration for Marcollus"
is a sprightly classical article over
the well known nomn de plume of S. L.
C. D)r. Ramsey completes his inter
esting history of the revolt of the
State of Franklin. Prof. Blake fur
nishes one of his best agricultural ar
ti lles on "Lime as a Fertilizer."
Miss Porter gives a pleasant tory.
The poetry is from Mrs. Preston, of
Virginia, Mrs. Davies, of Kentucky,
Mrs. Clarke of North Carolina, and
the lamented Henry Tim rod, the last
piece ever written by him.
Ruta Baga Turnmps.
Ruita ]Baga Turnips should be
planted immediately, and 'till the
Iclose of thiis month. 3Experience is
against their doing as well, if planted
later. They seem to need a good
start before 11)e August rains.
Fall Crop of Irish Potatoes.
From now 'till the middle of Au
gust plant Irish potatoes for a fall
crop. The small potatoes picked out
and dried in the shade will servo for
seed. Often the fall-crop succeeds
the better of the two.
