WINNSBOR O.
Wednesday Morning, Nov. 20, 1872.
T1. ROSS AOBEMTSON, Editor.
my Correspodience solicited from every
se cition of the Country.
Our columns ire open to all for a free
diiscussiou of any principle, theory or idea,
but we are in no way responsible for (ie views
or opiniis of cniresooifients
Our Duty and Policy.
The result of the late Presidential
olection places the Southern peoplo in
an exceedingly embarrassing position,
and they need all wisdon and pru
doneo to steer safely through the po
litical breakers by which they are
now surrounded. 'their situation is
embarrassing from various eause.s, tho
nature of whioh is known to us all.
The defeat of Grooley may have tho
tondoncY to place the S.,tth in a falso
position, inasnuch as ho received his
entire support from this seetion of the
Un ioni, while lhe proved di.tasteful to
the Nort hern palate. But when it is
rem iebred that his acceptance by
the Sou I was looked upon as a peaco
meicasure, and as an ini ation that her
people wore ready "to clasp hands
acro.,s the Llordy chasm," her courso
cannot :. r wher than patriotic,
and we U,,Leve that future historians
will so record it.
G(rant's re election bieing 1o.v a
reality, it becomes us to consult to.
gether as to what duty denands of
us under the ci rcunt nens, and as to
what policy a wise ap Ipreciation of the
situation suggests to us, to pursue.
ll t lirr (1t pin.10 wo 141114t, view things

fiully set tled all issues growing out of
them. Wc arc compelled to adopt
this couirse beoauso t hero is no alter
native, and because it is dicmatcd by
good sense. The masjority of the
citizens1 of the 'iiited Sta1tes regard
these amendments as fixed parts of
fundamneiit al law of the land, and it
is the height of folly for the South to
conltinueo to iigi tate them'n. An y at
temipt to intem fe with their opera
tion, by any portion of our peopile,
suibjects us to the sevorities of the
law, and if general, would lead to a
rev oluti on. TPh i weo ario not. pre pasrod
f ,r, aid if we were, our fato
in the end wlouldh be too horrible
to contemplate. We are a Bubd uod,
0oppresftod sect ion, and must remain
so, unt il a sense of jmust ico returns to
h0 heairts of our rulers. Noicr
wvill our imidfortutnes ever grow lessI
nor our burdens dimnin ish until we
tree nursel yes from that spirit of dle
pendenece that has al ways been our
eamrse. We nimst teacha ourselvo s to
de'uiId mnore on cur OWLn exertionis
aind resoures, and must go to work
ol 1.ld up our wasto places, and de
velip those troasures that lie dormaut
beneathL our sunny soil. Our coondi.
tion will never improve unt il we roil
ize the fact that we must act indo
pendenthy of the Northi. Wo mouist
bring ourselves to believe also that
our so-called brethren of the North
have no love ^us further than that
wo contributeo somewthaut to their
imoney-nmaking, aknd to their facilities
for enriching theiuselves. WVe wore
loth at one time to credit this, but
recent events have forced us to such a
concl usiin.
Our policy is then to accept the
situation as sometlhing that cant bo
avoided. At. the same time, we
mu st remain t rue to our principles
and1( our heritage. We arc at the
mercry of a crrupt and unscrupulous
party, iind ounr honor is all that isf
xft u.s to pie ervo and( proteet. Let

traditions, and a jtst God will giv l
the victory in the ond.
One Crumb of Comfort,
The result of the late oleotion, sayl
the Carolinian, was a ortishing de(eat
to the Movement for reconoiliatior
and reform. Grant has been re-eject
oil by a majority, pfobably twigo aI
largo a.; the ono be epiiyr! in .1868,
But though we failed wretchedly if
our ciforts to work a saluthry chang)
in the general government, there isi
the redemption of Lutiisiana frow
carpet-bsg misrule mnuoh which shoulI
be a source ot considerable solace t(
every Southern heart. We presum4
that there is no reason to doubt nov
the authentioity of the reports which
have been undenied, that the Conser.
vative State ticket has been eleoted
by several thousand majority. Thi
State has been wrested from the hands
of the Kellogg Custom House clique
and turned over to the proper oharg<
of her own honorabie, efficient and pa
triotie citizens.
Louisiana like South Carolina ha
boon the prey of plundering politios
adventurers, from the time of th4
re-organization of the State, unde1
the reconstruction laws of Cong-es
till now. Reckless extravagance
gross vounlity, wholesale corruption
and an utter disregard of the true in
terests of the commonwealth, hav
there as hero cbaracterizd the rul(
of the apostate native, the unsorupu
lous foreigner and the ignorant negr<
combined. The State will now
doubtless, take a btund forward or
the path of material progress and de
volopment, such as she has never be
fore experienced, even in the palrm
days Lung Syno.
There is no earthly reason whiol
we can discover, why every Sou.hert
State should rapidly recuperate aud
soon repair the ravages of the war
provided, only measurable honesty
ability atnd economy can be secured it
the management of their local govern
monts. The greatly improved condi
tion of those which have been able t<
burst the coils of oarpet-bagism wbiol
bound then all for awhile, furnishei
ample testimony to the truth of'thi
proposition.
It it wore not for the disordere<
state of society here, and particularl,
the fear of intolerable taxation boti
of which are inoidents of our ino, in
potent and corrupt governnients, ni
abundanceo of Northern capital wohli
unquestionably flow in this directioi
where its profitn arc so much large
than at the Noith. There is one fao
connected with the disenthralmont o
Liouisiana, which is cheerful food fo
reflection to us of South Carolion
Th'lere is a n:aj.)rity <f colored vote
in Louisiana just as hero, not so larg
indeedl, b'ut then there are thousand
of white Radioals in that State, whil
wo have only a few hundred. T~h
colored people must therefore hav
combined in large numbers, or ele
the Conservative tiokcet would no
have the ghost of a chance.
We cannot see that our situato1
here is more doleful, or our prospoo
of delivery from tho curie of ba,
Government more gloomy, than wa
that of Louisiana up to this time
Our white people are cortainly not les
true in their devotion to our State
and our colored people as a olass we
think aiec far superior in intelligence
docility and tractablenoess to those o
Louisiana. What has been - dom
there can surely be accomplisher
hore, if the same prudent counsel dl
roots, and the same haoppful energj
gives impulse t~o our offorts. Wa
shall have to depend entirely upot
ourselves for any politieal reformnatioi
which we may desire to see c(Teoted
in our Stat e. We should at all eventi
akeli the trial, and aot if such wer<
the case.
Party Organisations --Their Present an
Future Status.
Thelr smoke has cleared away suff
cienatly freom the late P'residentia
batt le-Iiold to note the present sitatj.
cf the forces that, joined in Thal
memorable struggle. To locate er
aotly the positions now occuplod b3
the political parties which have huith
erto opposed each other in this coun
try is an interesting undertaking, and
is by no moons an eaey task. Fora
long time prior to tao reoent strug
gle for the Presidency the votihg
masses were divided into two groal
political organizations, with Demoera
cy and Rtepublicanibim as their dis
tinctivo tenets. But the result oi
the contest between Oranit and Greo.
ley proves that these party lines -have
diverged considerably, and there Is a
strong probability that another pow.
erful party is likely ore Jor'g to spripg
into existence, which, ini its formeationl
will absorb the best elements of all
other parties. rho old Demoocratio

we thought 9lreumstances demanded
It. The condition of the coun'ry re
quired its sacrifice, and we hoped to
see good come out of it. We have
been disappointed, but we sincerely
believe that the country will yet en
joy hei fruits of the Cincinnati move

1 emen, and was conceived in the inter.
eats of peace and teform. But de
velopments shw that a fatal mistake
was made in the selection of the man
who should be put before the country
as the true exponent of its principles.
This mistake closed up every avenue
of success, and made the triumph of
Radicalism only a question of time.
It is very clear, too, that Mr. Greo
ley's candidature was anore distaste
ful to Grant's opponents in the North
and West than at first appeared.
The election returns from those see
tions of the Union indicate that a

er,.or voted for Grant as the lesser of
the two evils. From this we nay
conlude that both the Libetal and
Democratic parties were divided be.
tween Greeley and Grant. In other
words the opposition to Grant could
aot unite on.Greeley.
The liational Republican party is
dertainly in progress of disintegration.
Many of its fortor leaders have cut
looso from it, and it will soon give
way to that iri-esistible uprising of
Conservatism, which will before
tuany months sweep over the land like
a whirlwind. Gon. Grant's re
election may for a brief period
bolster up the declining fortunes of
Radioalism, but its doom ii already
settled, When the political lines are
again drawn, there will be arrayed
against it a solid phalanx of men,
knowing no past party affiliations, but.
banded together to save the Republie
from destruction, and the nation from
disgrace. Republicans and Demo.
crate will yet be seen working togeth.
or in a common cause, and for the
good of the whole people.
Speech of President Woodward before
the Agricultural and Mechanical As.
sociation of South Carolina.
Upon being-oonducted to the chair
by Messrs. 1uhvjor, Felder and Gary,
Major Woodward, tendered his
thanls in the following brief but ex
pressive charactea istIc qpeech :
I am very prond, gentlemen, of the
high 'bonor th-at you have cmnferred
upon me. I regard it the most en
viabld position to which an honest
t man date now aspire in South ('aro.
i lina. I am well aware, however, that
r these honors are duo to no merit or
sure you that they are eve, the moreS
Sappreciated when I say that in my
S opinion they are the result only of
a the hindly personal feelings of the
a members of the Society towards me.
And,bhene it is that I nssume the du
ties of your . presiding oflicer, not
a .without feelings of hesitancy, for I
I well knew that there has never been
t. a time in the history of the affairs of
this Society, when greater wisdom
and mere general business tact and
energy,w wore demanded of its ofiicers.
6 There is within me however, a spirit,
I a prnioiple, which forbids that I
a should evade any responsibility
devolved upon me by Carolina
' gentlemen ; and if tinme develops
as I fear it will, that I am not
the mian for the place,-'pon your
shouldera rests the responsibility, for
I can truthfully declare that I have
~evinced no ambition in this matter.
Many and grave difficulties surround
us, it is true. Our financial affairs as
iyou all know are in a critical condi
tion, The signs of the times, I am
sorry to say indicate that we have
enemies-jealous of our success, en.
vipus of our gentility.
The ,Oovernment under which
we Jive, has jso far shown only
an inclination to retard agriculture,
to plunder agriculturalists. Bu~t de
spite all these difficulties, under the
leadership of Carolina's own distini.
gni'bed son ;-mzy courteous,ecult iva
I ed and practical predecossor, much
very tzuch has been accomplished.
Why not then, taking heart by the
past and hopiog for bettor things uin
drtefir promtises of the recently
elected State aduministration, but re
lying~r solely upon our oton energies, push
forward the consummation of thiu
Igreat apd glorious work so auspieious
ly biegon. TIhero are other and dear
er Issues Involved in our existence
than dollars and cente. With our
fall goes down theo last lingering, visi
ble vostigo of Carolina's gloiions
ante b.ellumn institutions ; vanishes her
only emblem of civIiition. With
out- failuro departs for a season at
least, those inducements that call us
together isi this noble old City, samdly
cheanged it Is true, but still the belov
jed Mecca to which Carolina's sons an d
daughters are wont to make their
yearly pilgriidage, and enjoy that
sweet communion with each other, so
elevailg to our natures, so purifyinig
to our souls, and to obtain that temn.
1 orary oblivion of our distress so
solkolsig to us in our advesity. In
doderments then are not wanting for
continued and renewed energies. For
myhdlf I will say this, having boon
honored by yone confidence as I have
been, and aided by the counsels of
wise Inen upon my EzeootLve Com.
mittee, with I believe the best and
most indefatigable Secretary in the
State, and relying upon those gener.
ons exertions that have ever ebarac
terized you, I shall, sumnmoning what
ever of judgment and energy I am ja
pable of bringing to bear, bolily un
furl our industrial banner, and con
fidently invoke for us that success
that I am sure awaits the proper ex
penditure of energy.
Lucerne.
Is it not wonderful how our South.
ern planters, even those who try to
raise their own provisions and are as
much opposed as you are to buying
Northern hay to food their stock,
cannot be persuaded to grow lucerne,
which, in my opinion, is the most
valuable forage crop there is ? A
few try a little millet, a few-the
number is happily increasing-have
a clover patch ; but the main depend
once to feed the stock is fodder,
which is by far the most expensive
long stook feed we raise. Scarenly
any one raises lucerne, which, if
sown with ordinary care on well pre
pared, clean land, will yield two or
three heavy cuttings of excellent hay
the first year and Jour or live every
year for five or six years, without any
labor except the cutting and an ocea
sional top dressing in the fall. Muelh
as I admire clover I think lucerne is
preferable for forage. The yield is
larger, it does not salivate stock as
second growth of clover will ; it is a
better milk prod ucing food, and ill
sorts of stock like it. clite as well as
they do clover. As ihe time is now
at hand when luecrre sh''uld be sown, I
I ask a pInec in your columns to -urge
its value upon your readers, and to
give a few hints as to its cultieic.
The best land for lucerne is that
which has been in corn, and well cul
tivated so as to be clear of weeds and
grabs. The richer the land, whether
naturally or attiticially, the better.
There is no usc in sowing lucerteo on
poor, thin land. It will not p-Iv.
The land Imuit be dleeiply broke, we-l
hubsoiled, thoroughly pul verized, and
made pertectly clean. A deep, pir.
ons seed-led is eseintial. .A libe.ral
surface dressing of lime betre pl w
ing corn land will be fo:unid to Ie
profitable, and if the lanild Ie I't vIe r
rich, it cannot b1" to) heivil.. .
