Wednesday Morning, Feb. 21,1872. 11oV Shall tile Stato bi6 ne deehed I In view of the approadhing cam. paign in this Statej all good citizeens could not be better employed than in an nArnost and sefious study of the means ly which an hohieet gove-nnent dMay be Mhade to succeed the present corrupt and unprihoipled admuinistra. tion, now holding athigh hanival" in Columbia. Frauds of a most gigan tid character have already been ex. posed, and the base porpetrators of them are known throughout the en tire 3tato. Hence th6 necessity for prompt and decisive action. Is is plain that it is no easy task to decido upon the proper course to pur sue. A general spirit of apathy per Vades every clare, and on every ido dicouraging signs meet our eyes. Thos situated, It would appear, upon first glatheo, uselss, it not foolih, to suggest a line of policy that is to work out the redomption of the State. Oije fLct stares us steadily in the face; and that is, thUt this work of rodeiption is for us, and for ut alewc, to aboomi. plish. Those, who would assist uS, arn powerless to act. The herculean task is for our hands only, and the sooner we rbalieo this, the better for us in the end. A swarm of adventurers, without scruple and character, and more loathsome than the locusts of Egypt, have settled down upon the State, and nro now eating itato, and deodroy. ing her vecry vitals. lTheir idiluenecc upon our colored citiaens has well nigh rained the State; and no era of prosj elity can Sot in, until thby he got rid of. Let honest mech of both colors expose these scoundrels; and hold up before the ignorant miasses the basen as and cupidity of sneh meon, who, impelled hither by a dleire for plundor, im~posc upon, and deceive the colored people as to their designs and intentions. We rejoice te know that somec of the colored pcople hazve their eyes at last oipen to the real motives that in duced this horde of vampjires to come to this State, and toe trust that the just indignation of an outraged peo pie may be speedily visited upon them. Any one, who finderstands the chat actor of the southern people, knrows full wel'. that the two races can live prosporousl3y andl harmoniottsly in the South, if no discordant dlement enters to antagonize theaft, arid while they remain in ailtagonismx, no permanent poee established. This is a plain truth, which can not be sncodusfully eontroverted. We are then neceessarily forced to conclude that the only hope of salvaa tion for our people, and the only means of redemption of the State, from the politioal quicksands into which she has fallen, lies in the to n bination of the native white and col drdd citizens against the tlhieving vhllaiAuus earpet-taggers, who haave rlteady robbed us of millions df dohs hars, and broken down the credit of the State. We know that a few honest colored men read oar columas, and we would appeal to them to consider well what we hate saitd, and not upon our sug gestions. To tho hornest and upright men of our own race, we would say, bie not discouragedi for, though adterse ci r eumstances now surround us, we ho lieve that triuth aMi justtod will yet prevail, Aad trlomph over its enemies. Our trials Are indeed heavy, and hard to bear, but lot us Dot despair... We feel that Ho who knows all thing., and orders all evets ...m.ye give pitd'ePjteh-b break asunder.- e politloal bonds 4n'd sbackles tht poer' Wcution had 1ialice have riiette41 M$on our lirnba and will in Hit own! pood time causepesce and plenty t6 return to our desotate homes and fire sides. k't uq then be wat chf\dl, pru dent, and circumspect in 'all our so -tioni, obey th laws howev'er un)tist, and cultivate friendly eoations with good h nest colored people. Let overy one, who loves i.s country, enter attiveLy into politioal contests, oitb out violence, aid with a spirit of lib. erality. Our cause is too preoious to bq imperilled by ind i6cretion, and basty measures. Tith has proved to us who our'enemii arce, ail it behooves us to go to work innoc intely, in order to dehat thuir dia.bolieal seliemes. Delay is dangorous. The greater thb necenbity then for part cevti-,g inmme diatoly to its ticeconpilik333..t. If we negleot it- We Ilone must eutfer the evil consequot.t1;. Our %cry exis tenco is involvud. and every sense of public duty calls up in ts nut to -hrink in this grave omorgendy, but go nobly to work, arid relievo this unfortunate State of the Woen tant havo fallen upon it, and p!Ne her on.M ndore in that position when, in time pait, she was the p .-idet and bo.st of her tons. To effect this, we thall devite our en tire energies, and ask the asMs. tanco of every true patriot. Am esitly all 1at4 De'eitted. Oi Friday last the Ambohety 1ill was dd'enthd in th. 1. S. Senate, on account of SnenCi'., Civil 1-ghte hill being tacked oni tu it., for the puirpose, as we shall ever believe, of killing it. Agnih do we win:.ess the highest law-makiig branch of the Gen1r;l Govermnent, so blinded by partisan motives and cbnsiderations, us to withhold fr. in a greatly oppiessed people a boun and prerogative that could be so ca1-ily restored.

That further legirlation in regard to civil rights is :u1aounne4sar: y, every mats will ai!it i, who can lu h beyond the narrow circle of party.
