.Wednesday Morning, Not, 6. * *gSSBS?ES' g ' ' ' i'?rJtjMn???wrj? ? ^TTTE RADICAL PROGRAMME. FOB THE PRESI S? ? DENCY. - srlt is nu^undeniable fact that the whole tenor and - .?.jjiurgose ?f the Radical party, for the past two * -years, upon the subject of reconstructing the ? ' --Southern States, has been directed with methodi *'V'cai "energy to the success of that party in the . .--coming Presidential contest. It has been our ex * "..-pressed opinion, on several occasions, that the ex '"vciuded States were not to be admitted to represen *^$atioa in Congress" uniil-after that- contest had ~- passed-?"" This opinion" was based upon the suppo -^aition that these-States would be represented by men opposed to the perpetuation of that parly- in power; -But the plan of. reconstruction, adopted *v"^y"Congress, and which is'about torbe.duly inau - .-.gurated in every State.'has changed the aspect of '-.. afifoirsv - The.leaders of- the Radical party are now ? -{-.jubilant over ihe: prospect of reconstruction, be "i^-'iause they, have "gained their point by driving r^away theiespectable white population of tho South r^ftbm. any participation in'thc. proposed tcorgnniza i V ""..tipn. Hor.ce the "Congressmen to be admitted from "^^these States will represent the extremist Radical - viowa, and will unite heartily in the work of sub ^-r^tidiring the" poor, ignorant blacks, in order that. \' - ibis party may continue to enjoy the rich spoils of '^iffice. Indeed, many of their leaders now boldly f~V~ aisesert. that they have gained far more in the South than was lost in the recent Northern elec r^'^iions-y that they are now" controlling ten States, ?^cothei-wiso. opposed to their policy, by the simple ;'-^plan of placing -every negro in the South under Vi^heir dictation, through the agency of Union *~ " Leagues and hired emissaries. Alas! for the frce "(jpnx guaranteed to this "down-trodden-race !" ^jvvPolitically, the colored people are enslaved beyond '-'.? the hope of emancipation, until the film now before - V; their-eyes has been removed, and they will behold ihe selfish designs of their pretended friends. Yet, ^' ibir' all-practical purposes, this political bondage :". -_.'will continue until it is too late. When the Radi ??-vCals triumph or axe defeated, it- matters not which, u\^.fhe,p?or negro is cast'aside ; they are done with p ^tun; he can no> longer subserve their ends. >^Jv':>tWith this;nowly acquired political strength, the '. Radicals feel-cenSdcnt of success in the coming -^f.."election for President. Already, they are endeav - *-- oring to harmonize the party as to the choice of a ?-'---candidate! General Grant has been thoroughly 3;V~ discussed. He has likewise been interrogated on every possible occasion-, that bis opinions and ten dencies might b>e made known. Every word from fe';the military chieftain has been carefully cherished and thoroughly, dissected. So far, every effort is unavailing to produce any decided expression of preference from the renowned warrior. He may ,'/. or my not have aspirations for the Presidency, r,rj*.and likewise might or-might not accept the ucm p:>"anatibn- from, that party. Others speak knowingly as " to his omnions, but his countenance betrays ?'i^*none of these things, and "with, calm indifference *g the mighty soldier , quietly smokes that inevitable ' ??:^cigar,' with the self-same noncluilance that he did on y^'iihV memorable -day when the greatest of living ,^,7Captainsrsnrrendered to him the remnant of a glo .^ ri'ous army. Thus, Grant is a stupendous puzzle for ihe Radical party. He.cannot be thrown ovcr ?^".-.board by them, for that would certainly give the - .V'"opposition art advantage. Without his political V opinions are made known, and are in accord with ^^itfie- parpose of their party, the Radicals dare :iot ? ? %uiuroro"tcrpt3ce mm in nomination. In the mcan >'.'frhile, other aspirants arc not lacking, and more . than a'scoro of the leaders would gladly receive the dnomination. Among the most prominent arc Chief ?^ Justice Chase and Speaker Colfax. The fontfer ::? .is taunted in some quarter?, however, with a weint .of 'Btrcngth ?.t home, since the elections in Ohio ^; ;.?ondeinri the narty, and he is being soundly berated r "?---Sm'ins. weakness. He is supported, nevertheless, y'Xrf.strong influence, and if we are not mistaken ;^^0 newly, enfranchised citizens of the South are -' ,!being taught to lisp his name- in that connection. JEhp other gentleman, Mr. Colfax, is most prom i j J nent when he is sounding tho trumpet himself, ^'.'?and that is cone quite-often enough. Wade, Bcr - - lee,' et id omne genus are not worthy of serious con ? ? sidcration, as they arc not likely to stand a ghost -of a chance. TV "We conclude, therefore, 1. That the Radical " -party is confident and defiant, regardless of de . feats this fall, and is bending every effort to secure '_? the next President.; and 2d, that unless Grant is -?nominated, Chase,has the inside track. ?;-o-j CONBESVATIVE CONVENTION, learn, says the Columbia Phoenix of Thurs ^*~*day, that a meeting of the Conservative (white) 1 ?? oitiiens of this District was held on the 21st inst., s-. -which the followiug resolution was adopted: Resolved, TJiat a Committee of nine be appoint " hk! to invite a meeting, in this city,, of delegates J.'*>1tom tbe-_TT?rroas Districts of the State, to deliber ' i -?te npon "the present condition of our political ;:-ftfFa:rs." "'"'?? In accordance with this resolution, ihe Chair ,N-^lnan'.of the meeting?Hon. W. F. DcSaussurc, ap ' "-jointed a Committee, who prepared a circular, 1 that has been extensively distributed throughout . the State. This circular was addressed toprot .l ' "nent gentlemen, and is as follows: ' \-Sir: We respectfully invite you to co-operate <..witb'the Committee in securing tho attendance of *' delegates to a meeting to be held in this city, on Wednesday, G P. M., the 6th of November, to take - into consideration the object named. To. this endv you are earnestly requested to send "'- -the ableBt representative men in your District? . _'-say from, five to ten in number?who you are as \^Kircd will act ioarmoniously in behalf of the inter? ests of the white citizens of South Carolina. A correspondence with influential public men at tho North has satisfied us that a Convention held " Iicre, for the purpose of expressing the will of our - intelligent and respectable people, will be of incal '-; culable benefit to the State, and the call therefor ' - has been advisedly issued. The chief business to be done by the Convention will be: To issue an address to the people of the State and country, expressive of our opposition to tho policy which gives the negro tho control of the "i?liotrbox and jury box; to memorialize Congress to reconsider the reconstruction bills, and remove the existing obstacles to a full,, free and harmoni eus'icxpressioa of the intelligent public opinion of the people of tho State ; to adopt such measures as will influence our citizens to oppose, in a proper and lawful manner, all schemes which arc calcu? lated to resuls in negro domination and the utter destruction of the best interests of the State. JAMES G. GII3BES, WILLIAM WALLACE, f? A MUHL W. MELTON. For tho Committee. Favorable- answers have been returned from nearly every District; and ns tho Presideuts of all the Railroads in the State have signified their wiN^ lingness to pass delegates to and from Columbia for one faro, (here will doubtless be a full rcprc leBtation. i TSE VOTE FOB OR AGAINST A CONVENTION^ "We do not expect to accomplish any permanent good by recurring to this subject again; but many citizens in this District have taken a lively interest in previous" articles, and we will endeavor to en? lighten all such to the extent of our ability. The press of the State seems indifferent to the discus? sion bf the question of voting either for or against a Convention, and there is no concerted movement amongst the whites of this State. In all probabil? ity, most of the Districts will be allowed to go by default to the Radicals. Having discharged our duty, as an independent journalist, wo are willing to leave the subject for each man to determine within his own breast, and if tho people of the State fail to make use of the privileges accorded them, and allow the Radicals to assume control of affairs generally, then we are blameless for any participation in such inactivity or inertness. In orderet hat every one should clearly under? stand the effect of voting, or not voting upon the question of holding a Convention, we will append a.paragraph from the first Supplemental Recon? struction Dill, which declares: . '-If a majority of the votes, given on that ques? tion [Tor or against a Convention], be favorable, then such Convention shall be held as hereinafter provided; but, if a majority be opposed, no such Convention shall be held under this Act ; provided i that such Convention shall not be held, uuless a majority of all such registered voters shall have voted on the question of holding such Convention." Having;hcrctofore explained this paragraph, we will not euter info detail now, but simply ask every reader to carefully consider this proposition, namely?that every vote against a Conventipn will aid in making up the majority of registered voters necessary to call that body together. The above paragraph cortains the proof, and is supported by tho first section of Gen. Candy's order, providing for an election of delegates. It is as follows: "That tin eleclion be held in the State of South Carolina, commencing on Tuesday, the 19th day of November, 18(57, and ending on Wcdnesda}-, the 20th day of November, 18ti7, at which all register? ed voters of said State may vote '"For a Conven? tion," or "Against a Convention," and for dele? gates to constitute the Convention?in case a ma? jority of the votes given on that question shall be for a Convention, and in case a majority of the regis? tered voters shall have voted on the question of holding such Convention." There can be no doubt, then, as to the law gov? erning this question. But some of our friends have suggested that the managers of elections will not receive ballots for delegates, unles an endorsement for or against a Convention is made. Possibly, managers sho are interested in the success of the Radical party in this State may overreach the law by such a course. We have observed that the Chairman of a Board of Registration in Colleton District has already given notice that he would be governed by this rule, and that votes will not be considered legal, unless the voter specifies upon the ballot either for or against. Beyond a doubt, that official transcends the law, and boldly defies the order of the commanding General, for there is no such req uirement contained in cither the one or the other. We are not prepared to say that such trickery will not be resorted to in other places, but we are- confident that the course for conservative men to pursue, in such events, is to refuse to cust a ballot either for delegates or otherwise. We will recapitulate the advice heretofore ten? dered on ihis subject, and leave the reader to de? termine his own conduct. Let every man in the State?white and black? who is opposed to the infamous designs of the Radicals to place the intelligence and respectabili? ty of the South under tlte domination of traitors, emissaries nnd negroes, be sure not to vote either for or against a Convention. Remember that every ballot cast which has en? dorsed upon it "Against a Convention," is a ballot iu aid of the Radical scheme, thereby assisting to produco the majority of registered voters determin? ing the questiou. Where the whites havj majorities, and arc run? ning^ conservative candidates, no endorsement whatever should be placed on tho ballot. Vote simply for delegates, and say nothing about Con? vention, and if the managers refuse a ballot for want of this endorsement, let tho voter refuse to deposit his ballot. THE CONFLICT OF RACES. The following sensible and timely remarks on an important question are from the Cantden Journal. We have never agreed w-tl: the idea that this con? flict of races was inevitable, but the result of such a conflict is truthfully foretold in this article : The danger to the prospcrily of the South, which surpasses all others in magnitude and importance, is the possible conflict of arms between the races. To avert this should be the leading idea of states? men throughout the country. All that selfish party purposes and vindisiive animosity could sug? gest to the ingenuity of the radical mind, to pro? duce discord and enmity between the white and the black, has been with ceaseless energy nnd un? wearied assiduity wrought into the social fab:io of the South. So kindly, however, had been for many years, the relationti between the races here, that after the intoxication of the first few months of freedom and equality had passed away, it ap? peared that the danger was over, and that both races bad concurred in a return to their industrial pursuits, determined to work out together iu har? mony and good feeling, a common destiny, leaving it to the soothing hand of time to allay all irrita? tion, heal all breaches of the past, and by gradual process of attrition in their new relations, to blend together in one community, the two peoples in such new forms of society as would develop the highest capabilities, and best interests of both. It is in vain that newspaper writers, or oratori? cal Generals misrepresent the South. It is lit? erally true that there had been by this time last year, an unprecedented condition of peace, quiet and order restored to South Carolina, and every? where tho spirit of kindness and justice charac? terized the relations of the races. When and how was this reign of order disturbed ? By the agita? tion of the reconstruction measures and their adop? tion by Congress. By their extinguishment of every principle of saxon liberty for the white man. By overturning the Government formed under the dictation and in accordance with the requirements of the President of the United States. By the impo? sition of r.n arbitrary military rule in its stead, whose only province seemed to bo to degrade the white and elevate the black. By quartering among us hordes of speakers, preachers and teach? ers, hostile to the white and pretensively friendly to tho black, whose sole effort and mission ap? peared to be to sow the fatal seeds of diseord, re? gardless of the carnage, blood and ruin to which their ceaseless play upon the passions and preju? dices of an unenlightened multitude tended to pro? duce. By violent and incendiary harrangues in public, and by the baneful teachings of political conspirators iu the midnight meetings of secret so? cieties, whose portals arc guarded by oaths and a jargon of mysteries and signs, well calculated to ' impose upon the superstitions of tho black man, | and to exclutlc all who could refute their false , jeachcrs. To what have these things reduced us ? It has surrendered the State to the domination of stran? gers, who having no interest here, rulo through the negro race. They" propose to Africanize the South, while they themselves rule the African. To what docs this tend ? Who can believe that the southern whites owning all the property of the land, can be ruled by four millions of blacks who own none, without violence ? Trained as they are to hatred, arrogance, and the prospect of plunder, under the name of taxation, how can we escape conflict? If there be a sincere friend of the col? ored man?one single patriot?a friend of human? ity, in all the array of boasted philanthropists who sway the destinies of the Nation, let him pause and see the truth as it is, ere it be too late forever. For if the conflict comes, theirs will be the guilt of all the blood, suffering, misery and ruin which must ensue, and whose surging tide will not be stayed, until the whole country shall have atoned the frightful crime. PUBLIC MEETING. A meeting of a portion of the citizens of this District was held in the Court House on Monday last, to take into consideration questions of public interest, and for the purpose of appointing dele? gates to attend the Convention called to meet in Columbia on the Oth inst. On motion, Daniel Brown, Esq., was called to the Chair, and Jamss A. Hoyt rcquosted to act as Secretary. Gen. J. W. Harrison explained the object of the meeting, and read the circular from prominent gentlemen in Columbia, requesting the attendance of delegates from the various Districts, and sup? ported tho measure in a few well-timed remarks. He then moved that a Committee of nine be ap? pointed to nominate suitable persons to represent the citizens of this District in said meeting, which motion was adopted. The Chair appointed the following gentlemen to constitute said committee, namely: J. W. Harrison, J. F. Wyatt, T. H. Rus sccll, D. K. Watson, Wm. Long, W. H. D. Gaillard, J Browne, Rev. J. B. Hillhouse, and R. N. Wright. During the absence of the committee, Col. W. D. Wilkcs addressed the audience in an earnest and eloquent manner, dwelling chiefly upon the importance of the Districts having white majori? ties being represented in the approuching Stale Convention, under the Reconstruction acts. He thought it would place the whites in better posi? tion to make an appeal to the North, and if every effort failed, then there was a consciousness that duty was performed unflinchingly. The Committee reported the following nomina liou, which was unanimously adopted by the meet? ing, viz : John Wilson, Esq., Col. Jesse W. Norris, Jr., Maj B. F. Whitner, R. N. Wright and John B. Sitton, Esqs. On motion, the meeting adjourned. DAN'L. BROWN, Chm'n. James A. Hoyt, Sec. Immediately after the adjournment of the above meeting, the citizens osscmblcd wert requested to remain, in order that suitable persons might be put in nomination for delegates to the State Con? vention, authorized by the Reconstruction acts of Congress. On motion, Maj. T. II. Russell was called to the Chair, and James A. Hoyt requested to act as Sec? ret ary. Maj John B. Moore explained the object of the meeting, namely, to nominate candidates for the Convention to be held in Columhia, under the laws of Congress, and moved that a Committee of six? teen be appointed to make suitable nominations*, which motiou was adopted unanimously. The Chairman thereupon appointed (he following gen? tlemen to constitute said Commiitcc, viz : John B. Moore, R. S. Hill, R. n. Wright, l. C. Tlaynic, Jerc Brown, Martin Phillips, David Watson, II. n. White, Reuben Burriss, J. R. Wilson, Wilson Hall, J. B. Smith, R. M. .Morris, S. C. Humphreys, Peter McPhail, Elbcrt Pickle and J. B. Hillhouse. When the Committee had retired, remarks were made by Gen. J. W. Harrison, Hon. J. S. Murray, Col. W. D. Wilkcs, Jas. A. Hoyt and M. Heldmau. After a prolonged absence the Committee re? ported as follows: Hon. J. S. Murray, John M. Simpson and John Sitton. On motion, this nom? ination was unanimously confirmed by the inccling. On motion, the proceedings of this meeting were ordered to be published iu the Anderson Intelligen? cer, j The meeting then adjourned. T. II. RUSSELL, Chm'n. Jajies A. IIoyt, Sec. AN APPRECIATED COMPLIMENT. The contributing editor of (he Vorkville Enquir? er, J. Wood Davidson, writing from Columbia, makes the following allusions to this paper and its editor. We se'dom copy anything of this charac? ter, but the compliment is highly appreciated, and we do not feel at liberty to withhold it from our readers, even at the risk of beiug considered ego? tistic therein : AXDEltSO.V I.tTKf.I.IQENCER.?We Welcome tills week, with no ordinary pleasure, this clever and wide-awake weekly upon our Contributorial Table. It is conducted by Hoyt & Wallers, and represents in liberal spirit that piedmont portion of our State; a portion that is destined lo play an important part in the immigration measures that are to revolution? ize the social condition of South Carolina. The price of the Intelligencer is ?2 50 a year in Cur? rency. We have just spoken of the social revolutions coming through (he northern part of our State. Our meaning is, that the influx of foreign white population will be into the mountain Districts, and thence spread southward, sweeping the negro wilh it until ho is swept from (he country. Turn and twist it as you will, (hat is to be ihe end of it. We are no prophet; but we know that much just dry so. This turn of events will give the submontane Districts an unusual interest; and, in this view, we hail with unusual pleasure a local organ from Anderson. Wc had the good fortune fo meet our quill brother lloyl a few weeks ago, and found him as we find the Intelligencer?clever and wide-awake. We commend both the man and the paper to our friends. - -<y, Stamped Envelopes.?We see it stated thai the principal posloflices have been, or shortly will be furnished with a large number of specimens of tho stamped envelopes now furnished by the Department. These arc all made of thick, strong, smooth paper, and arc sold at the mere cost of manufacture with postage added. The stamps range in value from two (2) to forty (40) cents, embracing all denominations needed for domestic or foreign postage. The envelopes are of all sizes from a letter to a large official. When ordered iu quantities of five hundred and upward of any spe? cific denomination, the Department will print on the outside, "free of charge," the address of tho sender, with the request that it be returned if not delivered within a specified number of days. No extra postage is now charged for return letters. Stamped envelopes of any required size and de? nomination can be ordered through the postmaster. These arc the cheapest and hest envelopes that can be used, no profit on them being made by any one. If the postoflice at this place is among the num j ber to be furnished, wc will take pleosurc in in ! forming the people. LOCAL AND STATE NEWS. The Meetings on Monday.?The pro ceedings of two public meetings^ held at this place on Monday last, will be found in another column. The first meeting was for the purpose of select? ing men to represent the white citizens of this Dis? trict at the conservative meeting to be held in Col? umbia to-night. We publish the call made by prominent citizens of the State for such a meeting. Whether or not the action of that body of respecta? ble citizens will have any force with the Radical Congress, we are not prepared to say. Such a meeting a few months ago might have accomplished much towards organizing aud concentrating the people upon a settled policy, and thereby dissipa? ted a large share of the doubt and uncertainly now existing in the minds of the masses. But. we are not disposed to believe that any protest against the Radical party will be heeded by the present Con? gress. The facts indicate just the reverse. With? out intending to discourage the movement, how? ever, we can discover no immediate benefit to result from this meeting, but are perfectly willing that every possible effort may be made to avert the doom now impending, and heartily endorse the gentlemen delegated by the citizens on Monday to represent the District. The meeting to nominate candidates for dele? gates in the approaching Stato Convention era braced the majority of those present at.the other meeliDg, with the addition of many others. Then was lit tic enthusiasm manifested in either meeting, and the people appeared to be in doubt as to the pcoper course for them to pursue. After mature deliberation, (he Committee appointed to nominate candidates reported the names of Judge Murray, Mr. John M. Siiirsox and Mr. Jous Sitton. They arc reliable, staunch citizens, and will zealously protect the rights of every class of the people. An united vote of the conservative citizens of the Dis? trict will secure their election, but a division of this vote will elect the opposite ticket. Thirteen Months in a Year.?The American Agriculturist for November has reached us, and as usual it is full of good things. The present number dates from the new office, 245 Broadway, and in addition to its many other beau? tiful engravings, contains a full page cut giving a front view of the new quarters. The increased business of the Agriculturist has required new partners, aud an enlarged working force, and now its necessities demand enlarged, room. Iu the de? scription of the store now occupied we arc told that it is five stories in bight; it has a front of 25 feet on Broadway, a depth of 114J feet, with an L projection, which gives a wide entrance ou Murray Street, with a spacious basement extending under the whole. The front portion of the main floor is occupied as a sales-room for a large stock of Agri? cultural and Horticultural books. Farther to the rear are the subscription and other business desks, while the basement ? devoted to the important work of folding aud mailing the paper. The prin? ters' room, engravers' rootii, aud editorial "sanc? tum" are on an upper floor. The cost of the American Agriculturist is only $1 50 for a year, in advance, or four copies for S5. It contains 32 to 40 large quarto pages, and is beautifully illustrated. The publishers offer the December number of that valuable paper free of charge to all new subscribers for 1SUS, (Vol. 27,) who send in their subscriptions during this month of November. It will be the best kind of an in? vestment. Subscriptions should be sent to the publishers, Oha-noe Juuu & Co., 245 Broadway, New York City. Toe Charleston Daily News.?This paper has again changed hands, nnd is now con? ducted by Messrs. Rioeuan, Dawson & Co. The first-named partner is an old acquaintance, and one of the best news editors iu tho South. He was engaged on the New Orleans Delta and Charles? ton Mercury prior to the war, and lately on the Charleston Courier. Mr. Dawson, recently as? sistant editor of the Mercury, is an Englishman by birth, and a versatile aud elegant writer. We wish these geutlemen a prosperous career. - __ Anderson, November 5.?The Cotton market dull, and to-day prices range from 15 to 15J, in? clusive of the tax.
