The indignation of the entire whit
population of the State has been ex
cited by the Radioal mooting hold
last week in Charleston charging the
"Demoeratic party anid Democratic
doctrines with the murders lately
commi11itted in this State. They are dut
in reality to Radical teachings Infla.

Our exchanges indicate that the

and if carried by the Radicals, it has
been carried by ton thousand voters
from Illinois. The Radical majority
ill Ohio bas dwindled to searcely over

about thlroo thousand, but firtoen

Surely, then, the principles of the con

Arouse, therefore, to the magnitude of the
emergency, and spare no effort., for sucesh.
When the time of registration shall come,
let, no man fall to appear and none fail to
vote. Let each one temiemhor thIthis In
dividual vote may decide the eleotion in his
own District, and that the electoral vote of
the State may turn the scale iII favor of tle
Democratic party.

This may be tihe case in tie present can
vass ; and, indeed, we h-ave reason to hope
so. Recently we have receivei reports
from all parts or the State, which induce
the belief that South Carolina, with proper
effort, will be carried for Seymour and Blair.
Let not the failure to du so be usoribied to
you.
Tho canvass in which yott are now on
gaged, Is full of exolteenlt., which will
probably continue and increase to.the end.
We trust, therefore, that it will not be
amiss to drop you a word of canution. Tho
