In sh6 t, over nook and corner of the

"little OGorge Garlington,"-and an

bears the name of "Mike Crews ;"and

where "noss Sroby" was-that lhe

9ae of them was heard to romark tc

Wednesday Morning, Jan. 94, 1872.
Political Outlook In the State
-A fev Suggestions.
Profiting by past experience, it
well behooves the honest, well-mean
ing people of this State to decide at
an early day upon the means that will
most effectively put down the present
corrupt Ring of thieves and robbers
that infest the capital, and there per
petrato frauds and outrages under the
naiq of a Republican government
that will remain forever a stain upon
the civilization of this country.
Delay is dangerous, and the issues
at stake demand early notion. Plans
for the future must he matured, and
our banners fung to the breeze, be.
fore our enemies realize our mode of
warfare.
In the next political contest in our
State, the only issue will be between
Honesty and Justice on the one side,
and Fraud and Oppression on the
other. Questions of suffrage have
been settled by the highest law in the
land. The rights of the colored race
have been determined and defined by
an arbitrament from which there is
no appeal. No issue then in State
politics can arise except as to the in
tegrity and competenoy of those striv
Ing after the rein. vf government.
Old party lines have virtually disap
peared, and we behold now divisions
only between those who love the State
and guard closely her Interests, and
those who feel no devotion to their
adopted mother, and are every day
feasting on h., vita!l, persecuting her
native so&A.., anud huwiliating her in
the dust. Of the latter, the proof of
their misdeeds, of their guilt of eam.
nable acts and proceedings, is already
established, and the world at large
looks en in horror, and pronounees
upon them a deserved condemnation.
Now is the time for every honest
mana in South Carolina, of every par
ty and color, to comns forward and(
prove his fealty to the commonwealth.
Pirates are aboard the old ship of
State, and unless driven from their
position, will ere long souttle her, aind
she will sink to rise no more.
The character of the times demands
imperatively an uprising of the good
people, throughout the entire length
and breadth of the State, to hurl from
the high places they have disgraced,
the miserable villains and vampires
now sucking our very life-blood.
Rise in your might, honest yeoman
ry of the country, and come forward
to the rescue of your State, and all
you hold dear, from the hands of
those who, unless soon chocked, will
sink it and you to the lowest depths
of misery, and, in their unbridled
career, will precipitate you to a state
of existence to which death would be
preferable. We call, and we hope
not in vain, upon all well-disposed
and patriotic citizens, Democrats and
Republicans, white and calored,to bu
ry all past issues, and unite henefor
ward in a common cause looking only
to the preservation of our State from
those who seek lheur ruin. The ques
tion at stake is whether public thieves
and sooundrels shall rule the State, or
honest and upright men shape her
destiny.
Upon this broad platfrom we trust
we will meet every honest man in
South Carolina at our next election,
and working togethor in a noble cause,
sueceed in redeeming thie stricken
Stat. from the clutches of the greedy
voitures who now hold her so tightly
in their grasp.
M~ay God de fend the right.

to ptat It correctly, degraded a Judge..
ship to his level, and In doing so, per
petrated an outrage upon the people
of this State that. in atrroity is
soargely equalled by any AotloommitWd
by the Republioan party since they
haVe been In power. Tihe idea of
foisting a miterable pettifogger and
st'eot ruffian upon the people, in the
honorable position of an administra

monstrous, and tends to lower the
dignity that should surround- the ju

It is a matter to be regretted by
every good citizen in our co.umunity
that our present Judge, U1. n. J. M.

career has been consistent, and his
administration as a Judge oharacter

rights of individu.ls, as well 'a the
faithful subserviency of the endi of
