EX. COMMITTEE.. Coi.VSiSfA, 8. C., .Scpt.'28, 1870. To Hit Prcellc icy Jianiel H. Chamber tain, Cbhmbia, S C. gm-I heg leave lo render to you, in behalf of Gen. Wade Humpto.t und thc other nominees upon the State Demo cratic ticket, and iu pursuance of the spirit manifested in the card issued on j "?<Jr*l August J^' thor^?toDt-motTatioEr> j eil ti ve Committee, an invitation ttl at tend thc Democratic mass meetings ivjti?h are being held in Bticfa&jon in each county in tao State. The order in which they follow, together with the d?tes, appears in nearly all of the papers io thc Slate. You arc invited to bc pres ent and to join in the discussion. You ?no aware tb;)t the canvass isa warm one, and that your party and your own official -course urp charged with having inflicted great. ?TO?go upon the people whose in terests it was your duty to promote. That is the nnturc of political discussion under such circumstances; but you are at thc same time well aware that thc peo ple you arc invited to address are, by nature and by habit, quiet and law-abid ing, and that so far from rudeness or vio lence, you will personally receive nothing but courteous treatment, however bitterly your political and official course may bc assailed. You will call io mind that on the 1-Sth instaut I gnvc this invitation to you verbally, and your reply was that you appreciated the attention, but your policy for thc campaign had not been fixed ; that personal matters required you to go to thc North ; that your ubaence would be for probably eight days, and you could not give your positive answer until after your return. I learned yesterday that you had returned, and I beg leave, ns I said, to formally extend to vou this invi tation, assuring you that if you accept it your appearance before tho Democracy throughout this State Will be to yourself as Governor a most pleasing refutation of the slanderous charges which constantly are published against our party in sonic newspapers which claim to be your polit ical orgnns. backed by thc name of Sena tor Patterson or some other person, who claims to be your political friend.and ex ponent. We deem it due to you and to ourselves that these charges bc either con tradicted ; by your denial of them or looked into by your going in person to ascertain the truth. You do not hold thc position of candidate only ; you are also Governor of tim State ; and while ns a mere candidate you may not bc btiund to correct charges which your followers make against your opponents, though you know them to be false, you arc ns Governor and candidate bound by your gubernatorial pledge and honor to pre vent your followers using the sanction of your officio.! silence to sustain these charges against your opponents, when thc charges allege thc overthrow of the peace and dignity of the State, which you arc sworn to defend. As instances of the ciaos of slanders tc? which I refer, I beg leave to cite the.following : WASHINGTON, September 6. It is reported here, upon what is deemed good authority, that parties in New York have agreed to ship Chamber lain 20,001 s'.antl of arms to arm the blacks in South Carolina. This is one of Chamberlain's tricks to curry favor with thc blacks and be rc-nominated. The arms aili be. landed in Charleston on the 11th instant, the day before thc meeting of the Kepaltin an State Conven tion. While here, Chamberlain was very hitter in his denunciation of thc South Carolina whites, calling them Ku Klux, scoundrels. &c.-ivett' rori Sun. WASHINGTON, September 6. Governor Chamberlain, of South Caro lina, has just returned from another visit to this city to confer with the authorities upon sending troops to that State. Thc Governor was noisy in his denunciations of such men as Haskell, Hampton, Gary, ex-Governor Perry und others, whom he charges arc on the eve of precipitating .another rebellion. He makes thc idle boast that he has proof that Butler and Hampton were at the head of the Ham burg riot, aud ho expects in less thnn two months to have them tried. The Governor declnred to a promiuent South Carolin.? politician last night that he was done with reform talk, and hereafter thc Legislature would fina no barri':-, in him. The Governor has made arrangements tc have 20,000 stand of arms sent down to arm the blacks. The arms will bc landed in Charleston ott the 11th instant, tho day previous to the meeting of the Radi cal convention.-Nexo York World. WASHINGTON, September 20. Senator Patterson arrived herc this morning from South Curolina to apply for more help to protect- tho voters'and prevent thc terrorism which extends over the whole State. Governor Cham herlain and United States Marshal Wal lace and others will arrive to-morrow morning. An old resident ol' Columbia told thc Senator last week that he could not speak to him on thc street if he met him. The excitement and feeling is far worse than it was in 1?60 and the days of secession, and it is dangerous to even speak tn a Radical. Judge Cooke, who has acted for yean; with the Republicans, n-dc a speech not long since advocating thc election of Wade Hampton and Gov ernor Tilden, an'.' oxcusud himself by maying that he waa forced to do so b> save hia property and perhaps his life. Thc whole white male Democratic pop ......av.ii i? ?nui io no completely armed, and large consignments of rifles, revolvers anti knives arc received constantly. Yet no dealer will sell a Republican "even a knife. Tho very boys arc armed, and thc boys of the military school at Colum bia openly wear their revolvers belted ?round them. The Scnat .r says that fully 20,000 men, r.rmed and mounted, are thoroughly put rolling thc wholeStnte under the direction and command of "titler, of Hamburg fame, and these ?orces are nut onij armed, but complete ly organized and drilled. The people arc reported as expressing taeinsclvcs openly in fuvor of a fight, and ns saying that they don't care u - for the United States,. tho troops, or thc North, hut that they ure ready and nnx iou.? to clear out all the troops that Gen eral Grant can ?end. They say .that il tbey dochav? ?nyAtroublo Governor Til den will carry Indiana and Ohio in Octo ber, and New York in November, which ensures his election ; they are bound tn elect Hampton or deat'.oy thc Stale Senator Patterson says that unless they nive immediate help no colored man will dare to move or talk, much less Ut vote a?u if Indiana goes Democratic thal T?utn Carolina, North Carolina nu tl I'loridi.'will follow, and there will bc ar outbreak which will almost be one of ox termination pf Republicans. Murders are dene every day of which not a whis per reaches thc North.-New Yurt Tri bune. It is not my menning that we should take the pains to deny every error that may appear in campaign speeches cr papers, hut I do mean that when st- ' ments appear as coming from yourscl!, or from others who are robed with the dig nity of office, which ought to attach im portance und a credibility to what thev say, and when ?these utterances, as in thc instances above cited, are tota'ly false and affect the character of thc State, it ia the duty, I respectfully submit of thc Governor to deny them. And if he (thc Governor) believes them to bc true, it is his duty to restore peace and order ; and to do so it is his sworn duty to call upon the citizens to sustain him mid enforce ?4?e law. Al! these assaults arc made against tho Democratic party. What ever may he our political error, iu your estimation, in belonging to that party, we arc none the less citizens of this State, and as such wc have the right to ask of you the protection which in your .ofliei'd position you alone can give. * If there be terrorism and violence in thc State, call upon us tn supp? cs* it, and do not let the name of the Staio be per verted to dishonorable political purposes. You, and no one better,.know that the white people of South Carolina arestriig gling as few people ever have done to cast off a burthen of corruption and wrong such as yet fewer people have evei borne so long. In your own words, speaking of your own party : "Reform, if it was not of itself right, hius become absolutely necessary, or the State will sink." "The party has ever been going into campiugns promising retrenchment and reform and never performing it." "Matters cannot run for six years to come as they have for thc past six years." "Theio figures" (speaking of legislative expenses) "? may say are unparalleled in the history of American legislation. It is stealing pure and simple." And, referring to the election of two Judges-elected, I may say, by the lead iiig man now on tho ticket* with you, "Their election has sent a thrill of horror throughout the State. * * * I look to their election as a horrible disaster." 'I.Thc civilisation of the Puritan and the Cavalier, of thc Roundhead and the Huguenot, is in peril. Courage, deter mination, union, victory, -must be our watchwords.'1 "No party can rule this State that sup ports Whipper and Moses. * * * * There is but one way to save thc Repub lican party in South Carolina, and that way is to unload Whipper and Moses and all who go with them. * * ?* Neither the administration at Washing tun, willi ?iii ita appliances-civil and military-nor all tuc denunciations of thc world heaped upon me, cnn save the Republican party here from overwhelm ing defeat during this year, unless wc can persuado the people of this State that such things as these judicial elec tions will bc undone and never by possi bility repeated." You know thnt thc men who were thc leaders, who conducted that election, and who perpetrated the wrongs of which it waa a treble expression, arc thc same men who control thc ticket upon which your name stands, who devised your party platt omi, and are to-day your polit ical exponents. You know that it is against all this that our <nifortunatc peo ple arc struggling; and yet you know full well that their efforts, although in thc warmth of canvass, nrc orderly and within the law. Your mnnhood compels you to approve oui connie, but we do not call upon you for that. As :i candidate you arc entitled to all benefits which can accrue from thc measures which your followers (or, if you would permit mc, I would say your party leaders, for your independent course wat very different,) have adopted. Rut as the Governor of the State you are called upon to cither contradict the assertion that thc law is overthrown and that terrorism prevails, or to suppress this lawlessness ; and it is our right that you call upon us before you anneal to thc government of the United States. Our services are at your command, and whatever is our duty wc arc ready to do. To recur. I beg leave again to extend to you the invitation, and ask of you to communicate it to thc c. udidates upon your ticket, as it is meant for them as well as for yourself. It is thc wish of the Democratic party that you accept it, for wc arc earnestly desirous to remove the bitterness of race feeling, which wc attribute to the prejudices and erroneous views which have Ccen instilled into the colored 'race. And we honestly desire "peaceful and untrammelled discussion, that the people may become enlightened on the issues of tho day." Your early reply will be decme' a favor, and if such be your wish, prep?-a tion will be made to receive yon at the first meeting thnt it shah be your pleas ure to indicate. I have the honor to' be, very respect fully, your obedient servant. A. C. HAHKELLJ Chairman State Democratic Executive Committee. THE RUBIAL CUBE.-In 1848 ther lived at South Shields, England, a lilt ing man named Dickinson, a nativo of j the village of Otmiscliffe, near Darling ton. Ho was afflicted with paralysis, which for sonic years had crippled his limbs, and deprived him of the use of the left side of hh body. Ono day, as he was slowly vawling along tho street, ho met with in elderly well dressed man, who stated that he was n physician from Edinburgh, and he on hearing of Dick inson's case, advised him to return to his native village, and have himself covered up with earth, which operation would cure him. The poor fellow, nothing doubting, dragged himself on foot to Conisclifle, where ho persuaded an old acquaintance to assist him in temporari ly burying himself, iney procecacd to the Tees-side, where Dickinson's friend, with bis spade, dug a bolo in tho ground, in which thc patient was to lie tor four hours. Dickinson stretched himself inj tho excavation, ?Uh his head only at the outside, and soil was heaped upon him to the depth of nvo feet. At tho expiration of a quarter "of an hour the. patient broke out into a profuse perspiration, and an intense pain nt the same limo attacked his left side loin nnd leg. Notwithstand ing the agony he endured, he remained thus till tho expiration of the allotted time. The man who buried him, seeing him turn "black in the face," ?WM fearing he should die, would have released him sooner, but Dickinson would not consent. Tho sick man, When tho earth was taken off him, arose and walked away with no_ activo step, cured of his disease. This remedy fur sickness is an old ono; and Dampier, thc voyager, attacked by illness in the East Indies, was, nt his own request, buried to tho neck in tho earth until hi* pain nbated.-Darlington and Stockton Time?. - "I wish you would pay a Httlo at i I tention to whit I am saying, sir," roared I I a lawver ?x> nn exasperating witness. ' I am paying es Httlo ns I can," was tho calm reply. WHO FREt'D TUE SLAVES J A TRENCHANT LETTER MOM EX-GOV. PERRY ro Gov. OHAMBBRI?AIV. GREENVILLE, S. C., Sept. 1.1, 1S7?. Th HU Excellency doc. C?iunficr/ai/? : SIR: With nil due deference to the high office which you fill in South Caror lina, I shall reply* to some of your state ments in your campaign speeches as re jMirtod in tho newspaper*. Tho colored people have been told over and again by their unprincipled leaders that if they vo ted for tho Democratic party, they would bc thrown back into slavery again, and all their political righta taken from them. I do not charge you, sir, with having ut tered so flagrant a 'falsehood, lu t you did say at Lancaster, Marlboro' and other pisces that the Republican party set thc ucgroes free, and that they ought to, in gratitude for their freedom, stand bv and support that party. Now, sir, this asser tion, in point of fact, is no; true, and, as a lawyer, you know it was not tine. Tho State Convention of South Carolina rep resenting all thc slaveholders of the State, did almost unanimously, in 18?5, abolish slavery, and declare in their constitution that it should never exist again in the State. The Legislature of South Caroli na soon afterwards adopted thc amend ment to the Federal Constitution declar ing that slavery should never ugain CX?BI in the United States. In this way, mid in no other, waa slavery abolished in South Carolina. You know very well, sir, as a constitu tional lawyer, that neither the President by n proclamation nor Congress legisla tion had any right or authority under the Federal Constitution to abolish slavery in the States. No one would have dared assume such a proposition before tuc Su preme Court ot the United States. Hence it was urged by the authorities nt Wash ington, knowing that President Lin coln's proclamation emancipating the slaves was mere bruten, fulmen, thnt the States themselves in* conventions should abolish slavery, and accept the amendments to thc Federal Constitution declaring that it should never exist ugain in the United States. Now let us analyze this great interest and tender regard which you say the Re publican party have had and will have for the.colored people. We-will find that it ex ?tits solely and ever has in tho ad vancement of their own interest and their noted jealousy, of the Southern people. Thc African slave trade was in troduced by them solely for gain, and thousands of them made fortunes by it. Vessels were fitted out in all thea ports and sent to Africa to kidnap thc poor ne gro and sell him as a slave to thc South ern planters. Wan th?i? nay kindness >n this to the colored people? They owned slaves themselves and kept them" till the population of the Northern States became so dense that slave labor was no longer profitable. Then they sent as many of their slaves South as they could and sold them. Ultimately their own interest prompted them to abolish slavery in their several States. Was there any tender regard for thc colored race in all tLuj conduct? They saw that by thc cul tivation of rice and cotton in thc South ern States with slave labor these States surpassed them in prosperity and wealth aim bad control of tiic Federal Govern ment. This excited their jealousy lind hatred, and under thc pretence of philan thropy and humanity they commenced their abolition movement for thc purpose of consolidating the nou-slavclioluing States and wresting thc- Federal Govern ment from their hands. Was this kind iiicss to the negro or selfish ambition and -hatred on the part of thc Republicans? The Northern Democrats had no sympa thy in this movement, and denounced it as fiercly ns wc did at the South. The colored people have been told a thousand times, and perhaps by you, that thc civil war was carried on for their ema ne ?pa ti- - .11 that all thc fraternal blood shed in this contest, and all the lives that were sacrificed, and all the thousands of millions of dollars expended were to set them free! When history informs us that after the war had waged for a length of time, Congress declared almost unan imously that this bloody war was only to restore the Union ns it was before tho war, with slavery as a necessary conse Suence 1 Did this show any regard for ie poor (dave? Were his Interests or his rights at all considered ? They did nothing for them. All they wanted, all they were fighting for, was the restoration of thc Union ! When the slaves of Mary land fled from their masters and went in to Gen. Butler's camp for protection, bia sent them back to their owners. How much regard was there in tats for thc freedom of thc slave? It was thought at that time thnt any intoiforence with sla vcrv would defeat the restoration of the Union for which, alone they wcro fight ing. They cared nothing for emancipa? tiion. It was not then in their war pro gramme. Again, when a parcel of colored troops tendered their service to the government, President Lincoln refused to receive them ! He told ti.;m that they belonged to a different race, and could not with Propriety be incorporated into the army! his was showing great respect for tho colored people ? flic hope had not then been given up of restoring thc Union, as it was before the war, with slavery in full blpst. In the course of time, as thc civil war progressed, tho Republican party Daw that lhere was no hope of bringing the-Souther'n States back into the. Union except hy conquest and subjugation. Then, for tho first timo, their kindness and consideration for the negro began to show itself. President Lincoln issued a proclamation, declaring thc slaves free in all tho States that did not lay down their arms and come back into the Un ion. This proclamation showed that they cared nothing for thc slave nor his inter est, but only na a power to preserve thc Union, for which alono the war was commenced. They were willina for him to continuo a slave if this would end thc war. - Giving up all hopo of restoring thc Union by consent of tho Southern States, they began to think how best they could conquer and destroy thc South, Then tho idea carno into their minds ol enlisting the negro.in their army, and by that mcam> incren8o their forces and greatly weaken thc defence of the South ern States. Was tin rt airy ?oVo Tor thc colored people in puning them as tbcj did, in thc front of the battle? TI105 thought only of their own interest and their own success through the tdanghtei of tho colored troops I When thc war waa over and the con quest of the Southern States was ac compliahcd. they did not think of gi vi tn, the right or suffrage lo thc colored po plo! Governor Morton expressed th< views of the Republican party wHett /h? declared himself opposed to this exton lion to the right of suffrage. Presiden Johnson, when he gave mo my instruc tion ss Provisional Governor of Soutl Carolina, directed me to confine tho righ of suffrage to white persona who had ta ken thc oath of allegiance. He did no include a single colored man in Soutl Carolina I And so it was in nil the South ern States. I, myself, thought that col bred men who could rcsd and write, am paid a tax on five hundred dollar?' worll Iii .! #? itt. > of.property should bo allowed to vote. T' Republican authorities at Washing ton .ugh l differently at that time. I ?ut a sudden change came over them who . tluv found that all thc Southern States hau* go??fl Democratic and elected Demo cratic Governors, members of Congre*? and -Senator*. They Uten dricrmincd to enfranchise thc negroes and disfranchise the white people in order to give all the Southern Statt? to thu Republican party. Was there any regard fur thc colored people in all thia? Wa* it not their own interest and their own party purposes which prompted them to bestow thisooon ou thc negro? They required live years' residence licibro ? forciguor is allowed lo ' vote. This was to enable him to become acquainted with our laws, our constitution and form of government. He had like wise to produce iu court a certificate of good moral character, How different was their conduct ali; at once towards the colored people when they ad ipted tho idea of controlling the Southern States by means of thu freedmen. Without 0113* preparation or oducatiou or certificate of moral charp'-ter, thc whole of the freed uieo were- -, oclurod citizens, with thc right of sudrageI This is thu nroimiiled syjnpa.thy of the Republican party for th? ucgro. It is j false in every particular. They never had any sympathy for him except where their interest prompted them to have. They were, in tn.) tirst place, actuated by a buso aud sordid interest i.i sending their vessels to Africa and kidnapping tho poor negro and selling him as a slave. They were actuated by their own interest when, finding that his labor was no long er profitable, they set him free. They consulted their own interest and not thc interest of tho negro when they took him into their armies, and declared that tho Southern Stated should not be restored to the Union till he was set free. They were actuated by the same motive when they gave him tho right of suffrage. And they are now actuated by the same prin cipies aud thc same feelings when tboy tell the colored people to voto for thc carpet-baggers and scalawags who repre sent the Republican party in thc South ern States. Your Excellency knows full well the corruption of your Republican party in .South Carolina. You yo,irseli'have de nounced it and tried to reform it. Tho Legislature has elected tuen so infamous to scats on thc bench that you have re fused to, commission til om ! Time and again yon. have vetoed their fraudulent bills, and tried to stop their riguery and plunder! Why, then, do you ask thc ignorant and credulous negro to sustain those rogues and plunderers whom you have thus boldly denounced? They, such men as Moses and Whipper, Bowen and Ncag'o, and Lc-allo ami Whiiicmore and their satellites, arc thc Republican party of South Carolina! Tho great inasscs of thc colored people are too ig norant to understand the political "princi ples of any party, and Uley have been lcd astray and turned against their Dem ocratic friends, with whom they were born and rajueu,. by just such speeches as you litado to them at Lancaster, Marlboro and other places. I am sure, cu. you have too much, regard for your reputation lo tell the colored people, as your Repub lican understrappers do all over the State, that if the Democratic party get into power in South Carolina they will bc thrown back into slavery or deprived of their political rights and privileges. You know, sir, that the Democratic party now has the control of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,- Tennessee, Kentucky, Mis souri, Texas and Arkansas. And in all these Stales thc colored people arc better off, more secure in all their rights, more prosperous and moro of freemen than they arc in South Carolina under Repub lican or Radical rule. It has been said that all mankind nre governed by love or fear. You seem disposed to govern by thc former principio and your under strappers hy the latter. I am, sir, nvist respectfully yours, Arc, II. F. PERRY. A Power If Properly Exercised. Wc call attention to un article copied from thc Anderson Intelligencer, on thc subject of not giving employment to thoso who insist on voting in tho interest of those who have plundered our State, Thc articlo in question, is written so plainly, so forcibly, and with such a com prehension of tho situation, that wo must commend it lo thc careful consideration of every truo South Carolinian, who wishes to lift the State from her prescut degraded position. If wc clo i.at use all thc means in our power Ji.c-O'j'iipdisli the noble under taking of putting to Might tho vultures and ill birds of prey which have been de stroying us, we fail to discharge the com monest duties. As tho extract say?, under ordinary circumstances, it is a bad policy to allow politics to make a dividing line ia busi ness; but if our present circumstances aro not extraordinary, then, when, in tho name of .ill that is good, will thc circum stances bc extraordinary ? Governor Chamberlain in Iiis Morton letter, boasted and regarded it as a great virtue in his administration, that there were fewer Democrats in office in this State, uudcr his control, flinn under cither Scott or Moses. ? Thc Radical party appoints to office and retains, in office, only thoso who voto for it and sustaiu it. The Democrats of thia State have no government by which they can reward their friends. But each individual has offices, and he would be untrue to his political faith were he not to give them to those who are his friends not only in discharging the duties of such offices, hilt in susttuug him in thc posses sion of his furni or fuctory. If every Democrat will refuse to give employment to those who in tho coming election propose to vote for Chamberlain, Elliott ct Co., there will bo no trouble in the overwhelming election of Hampton.

"That tho question of adopting this amendment shall bo submitted to the electors ns follows: Those in favor of the amendment shall deposit a ballot with tho following words written or j primed thereon : 'Constitutional amcncl ' ment-Yes.'

These are vita questions of practical and imm?diat moment, and when it was attempted b; our political opponents to impress th ignorant and unwary with sinister view as to the opinions and purposes of th Democratic party in South Carolina, i was meet and proper that tho false ?og gestions of these arrant o>uiagogues 0 promptly exposed.

Tl amount fixed b two mills per annum fi the public schools which will bc amp ?uflicietit wheo honestly disbursed keep open thc schools the greater portie of tho year, and thereby improve- ve largely the present system for thc bene f thc poorer classes. Thc present clnu in tho constitution requires tho moue raised for educational purposes by Stn levy to be sent to the State treasury f apportionment and disbursement, ai the history of these funds for tho li eight years proves conclusively that tl pinn enables dishonest officials to deplc tho amounts, under the doctrine of "a dition, division and silence," before t return is mada to thc county officers.

Tho Democracy will take this mensure aa it stands, and will look only to tho future management of the finances ina proper and legitimate way. Help Those Who Help Yetti Tu?.? earnest recommendation of the ?ctjr? mid Courier that the supr arter* el Hampton in thc present canvass, should give tho preference, in every profession, Irr,;'.;- and occupation, to those who nro willing to work for tho redemption of South Carolina, appears to meet with general approval. Steps have been taken in Bcventl Coun ties, besides Charleston to give effect to thc Preference policy, in Columbia un Intelligence oflioo luis been opened, under the management of Messrs. Lee Hagood, James F. Gadsden, Winthrop Williams, and Coleman Beattie, whero persons 'Mn accord with the party of honesty and re form, who ure in search of employment or deserve patronage," may enroll their names, and where applications may be mado hy. those who can find work or ?laces for any of Hampton's men. The tarlington land-owners arc determined to give the preference to Hampton's mon in thc renting of lund and tho hiring of labor, and a similar enlightened policy has been agreed to in several townships in Marion. One capitalist in the middle country, who lins lent $7.^000 this year to' small farmers, chiclly colored men, on agricultural liens, has given fair notice that hereafter all thc money' he han to lend, to the Inst dollar, will gn to'thc fol lowers of Hampton. Merchants in dif ferent places aro taking thu tsamc stand. They will give credit to Hampton's men, and none other. In Greenville one white planter lins notified his hands that in the event of Hampton's election he can uf tbrd to pay them, .mid will pay them, three dollar* n month more than he now pays them. Those labor?is are as zeal ous Democrats ns any in thc County. Thc fooling everywhere is that tlio col ored people must he mude to understand that their interests lie directly and .imme diately, not indirectly or remotely, with the advocates of honesty, fidelity and economy in public affairs. Thc Claren don Prc*? says very trnlv that no alterna tive is left : "If the colored Republican expects the friendship anti nasfstatice of the owner of property, he mtiBt show himself his friend. He cannot complain j if |ie does not enjoy tho property which he assists others tn stealing. So long ns he arrays himself among thc enemies of the prosperity of the State, ho cannot ex pect the support of those wdio are fight ing to save a little from the harpies of the Radical party." And thc saimi sub ject is treated, more nt length, hy thc Ab beville Medium, which says: "This movement is eminently wine and proper, and should obtain all over the State. For years we have submitted to thc most vi I lanous oppression thnt the world has over known. Our money has been stolen, our property squandered, our lives endangered, and every indignity possible to the depraved lusts of tho dom inant party bus buen heaped upon us without complaining, or? the least show of resistance on our part. Wc have sup ported our enemies with our friendship sud our .money j we have given them em ployment, hired them to till our lands, and treated thom with all kindness anti civility. In return for these things they have ul-used our confidence und persist ently refused to help us in building up thc prostrate State.- They have voted with the Radical party time and again, and spurned every proffer of friendship fruin us. They have alienated themselves from the citizens of the soil, and formed un alliance with thc vilest crew of cut throats and assassins of the century, and should no longer receive any countenance or aid from us. Let tho Democrats give their support only to those who go with them to tue polls and vote for good and honest government. We own the lands and tho houses ; tho moneyed capital of tho country is in our hands, mid wc owo it to ourselves that no mun who stands by the Radical party in this last dire ex tremity of the State receives n dime's' worth of encouragement from us in any manner, sh.tpo or form. Federal bayo nets cannot aiTcci us acre. Every Ameri can citizen is supreme in the administra tion of his own personal affairs. While wc deny aid to an those who go against us in this last fight against* thc enemies of good government, let us meet every accession to our own ranks with a show of material friendship." Tho argument is unanswerable with impartial and intelligent men every where. It is forcibly put by tho Phila delphia Time? which, in reply to tho ''or gans" that denounce thc recommenda tions of thc News and Courier as treason al-'e. says : "Thc organs shut their eyes to thc fact that things in Charleston have reached thc point which they did when the Tweed ring was detected in New York, when they talked of hanging thieves to lamp-posts in Chicago, and when shopping repeaters was openly ad vised in Phil, dolphin. They know that there are not five moro years of good stealing in Sont'* Carolin;-, and thoy feel that the man who mti-s io continue the thieve? in power, i* no better than lie who li'jht? thc torch to burn their homes. If he .succeeds thc rcstiult is tho same in either case. And they arc now fighting, not for Ilower, but for the original rights secured >y tlie Declaration of Independence life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness." This is our doctrine to thc letter. Wc arc not ashamed of it. We arc proud of ?t. Wti know liv rk?of?f?nlnrr ?"h"? .".*_? preach, tlie jtcople can elect Hampton. Wu arc ready to defend thc Preference policy, and know that wc can establish its jus tice, reasonableness, propriety aud neces sity.- Nett? and (burier.

Thc views I of America ana Americans thus elicited I will bo interesting to those who wish to see thomselvcH-ns others sec them. The phlegmatic Turk is astounded at our in qiiisiUyenewi, . "They come up to your stand, han.Ile your goods, ask you all sorts of iiniK'itinciit questions, never apologize for troubling von, but address invariably vv.Uh thc inevitable 'haw lundi-* " , Thy ..Frcuchman tliinks our mode of life, so far aa eating is concerned, detestable. "Your inodo of living," said one of t'ie 'Commissioners, "is tho cause of illness among your women, which must a?'ect the whole race. Tho undue use of ice water, ice cream, iced drinks of all klnfls,' tho abuso of pepper nud ?nit, all are Injt?r?om. You' need a pub lic school fo,teach the art of proper feed ing." _ TI19 J'clgiau ?Iso detests our mode of living '1118 our cooking. Ho thinks our nuttoHnl'1 stomach must be out of order-116. tar out of tho way-nnd wc eut uy\ much' meat. While wc aro ex ceedingly nociabic wc have no cate ; and drink too often and too quickly, is also thc Belgian's criticism. The Frenchman, so far as our character is concerned, thinks "tho high appreciation of nu m ber ono does much to stunt thc development of morality." The Spaniard declares us to be "the most cordial and hospitable peo ple in the world." The Italian thinks wo luck sentiment and principles. "To achieve what,you have done, said one of tho Italian Commission, "you have had to make a god-the dollar-anda maehlho of your country, a money making apparatus." But tho American women puzzle the Italian the most. Says Ulis same Commissioner : "I ask myself concerning them : Is it innocence, virtue, ingeniousness or what? They nrc tho most impertinent creatures I ever Baw. They go up . to a foreigner with thc most perlect sang froid, stare him out of countenance, ask him if he is married, how many children he has, where he conics from, and I know not what. Their excessive freedom of ninn ner to our hot-blooded people seems what I hope it . is not. . Hut they take the ex traordinary liberties'.1 Fancy a pretty girl of eighteen laying her littl? dimpled hand on your arip and asking you, naive ly or boldly,,^know not which, how you like American Indies. What the deuce can oho think ?'' . Like tho Frenchman and Belgian, the Italian,is disgusted at our cooking. "You need a thorough reformation of your cui sine," said one. "You % have little or no variety bf mod .'.und blt I you luck good wines I If you only lind ?our wines you would haye less public druukouncss." Thc German laments tho ubsenco of do mestic life, biit he seems to regard America ns n sort of promised land, and thinks it especially a paradise for work iug meu. Tho Austrian, like thu Turk, is. disgusted with tho national impolite* nc ... Said one: "Thc people are pleas ant enough, bul they do not know thc une of thc words 'please' and 'thank "ou,' and seem to i inn gi m that for the admis sion price of fifty cunts .hey purchase, the services, as guides, instructors nnd play things of all thc exhibitors.'' And then we are wofullv ignorant. "Most of thc American visitors here," Haid this saino At'slrian, "don't know thy difference be tween Austria end. Australia, and ask mo how 1 Uko living in the bush. One old lady asked me, just, now, Where is the Belgian and Brazilian lauds?' You kfjftW tho place where they make hug jewelry, jewelry out of bugs, and that is only ono instance in many hundreds." The Pane think? our middle classes not Eo well educated os those of his own country. Tho Mexican is particularly Hlruck hy tho abuses of our street car travel and our hacks. Ho would have stringent Inws'to' prevent thc overcrowd ing of the street cars, and, to stop tho c.Mortion of tho hacl:mcn, capital pun ishment. Tho Dutchman docsu't like our women'; thinks they aro weak and puny, compared with their buxom girls. And tho opinion of the Chinaman is compressed iuto thc following expressive sentences : "Much likce M?lica. Costco muchec money livco in M?lica. Costeo little money hvec in Ohilec. Chilee man niakee muchec money in Molica ; Mclicnn niau mnkeo d-n little money in Chi - lee." KEEPING SWEET POTATOES.-I be lieve I promised to give you my plan of keening poiutc-c which is thc cheapest, I th'ink, and certainly tho sa lest I've ever seen tried. I build a pen of logs, any desired length, and five feet wide, (tins ieosens tho risk from bulking,) four to six feet high , hew it down evenly on tho inside, so that tho walls may bc ceiled or daubed smoothly ; cover thc whole with a good roof; and have a small door in tho end, When this is done, raise thu bottom with stones five or six inches high; covet these with dry sand, lo keep them from cutting thc potatoes, which mny now bo put in, beginning in thc middle. Three or four inches of dry sand must be placed between them and tho wall. I sometimes have a plank for this purpose, raising il up os thc potatoes are put in, keeping thc space between tho plank and wall well filled in with tho nand, which will run down through tho potatoes, as thc plunk is raised. Let them remain so until freez ing weather, when you can readily covei entirely with thc dry "Band, deep enough to keep them from being chilled. Some attention may bo necessary for a while, as tho sand will continue to disperso it self among them, and leave tho top naked There should bo no leaks in tho roof There is but little waste in tho sand when once procured. Like tho house, il is always ready, and at thc spot. Tin philosophyldf'Ui^.'plan, is tho .uniform temperature it ensures, while it absorbs es?..?*? wu ule WKCTSBIVS uiois.uri that may bo in thc potatoc. I havo tried this plan satisfactorily for 20 years sue ccssivcly. It was suggested to my mint by seeing hdgs rodting t?p.potatoes in thc Hpring(->-?SbMfAiTM CuUirator.

His plntforni is thu* announced in tlie New York Mutt, ?(cd )VAcU,j : I have pretty in nell made up my mind now to run for tho Presidency. What thc country wini ta j*, n candidate who cannot he injured by investigation of his past historV; so that thc enemies of the barty will bc tirinble to rake up against bim th huts that nobody over heard of before, if you know thc most about a candidate, to begin with, every attempt to spriti?r things on him will be check mated.' Now I am going to enter thc field with no opcu roco?d. I nm going to own up in advance to n?l tho , wicked ness I have done, and if any Congress ional Committee is. disposed to prowl around my biography, iii tlie hope of finding any dark and deadly deed which I have Bfcrotcd, why let it prowl. In thc first place, I admit that I did tree a rheumatic graudfaiiier pt,ju ina in tho&iulcxof 18u?:~_XIh &ua old and in expert in climbing trees, but with a heartless brutality'that is characteristic of mc, I ran. bim ont thc front door in his nightshirt, nt the point of ?a sho* rhin, and caused him to howl up a limpie tree, where ho remained nil night "while I emptied shot into iii? legs.' ? I did this be cause he suo red. -.I will do it again if I ever have another grandfather who snores. I nih ns inhuman now-ns I ever wat in 1659. ' No rheumatic person shall snore in my hnutsc. . : .-? ? I candidly .acknowledge that I ran away at the hattie of Gettysburg. My friends 'have tried to smooth, over this fact hy nsserting'thnt 'Igot'b'?h?nd h freo'; that I did "i for the purpose of imitating Washington, who went into the woods at Valley I" orge to any bis prayers. It is a miserable subterfuge. I cut a straight linc for the Tropie'rif Cancer'simply' be cause I was scared. Y ' wanton*; my coun try saved, hui I preferred having some body else nave her. I entertain that preference yet. If the bubble reputation can'bo obtaine d only- ' ut the cannon mouth, I nii? nilling'to' go there for it, providing thc cnmiou is empty. If it is loaded, my immortal and inflexible pur pose is to get suddenly over thc fence und go home. My invariable practico in war lins been to bring ' out of nay given fight two-thirds moro men than I took in. This seems to mp (o be Napoleonic in its f grandeur. The last tim?*I ran for the Presidency thora wns some unid.onejmtin^'HlKiuL'Uiy implication in a transacti-m' .with thc S widow Pollock's ducks. Thc matter waa hushed up ; but I have no objection to admitting tho truth respecting it. T have always had a favorito ' theory that roast ducks were conductivo to hysterical symptoms, and as every instinct of my nature prompts mc to protect thc widow from the ravages of hysteria, I entered the coop in tho garden dud regretfully but firmly removed thoso duck. Tlie fact that shu began a prosecution against nie is not a matter of consequence. Tt. is the fate of the philanthropist to bo mis understood. But duty is my guiding star, and if it leads me to ducks or destruction I shall follow it. My financial views arc of tho most de cided character, but they arc not likely, perhaps, to increase my popularity with the advocates of inflation and contrac tion, I do insist upon thc special supre macy e?f rag money or hard money, f ho grout fundamental principio of my fifo is to take any kind I can get. The rumor that I buried a doad aunt tinder ono of my grupo vines is founded on fact. Thc vino needed fertilizing, my aunt had to bo buried, and I dedicated her to that high purpose. Does that unfit me for tho Presidency? The, Con stitution of our country docs not say si?. No other citizen was ever considered un worthy ot tho oifico bc?'ahso he enriched his grupo vines with his relations. Why should I be selected ts thc first victim of nu abused prejudice? 1 admit, ah.o, that I am not a friend of the poor man. I'regard the poor man, in his present' condition, ns so much wasted raw material. Cut up and prop erly canned ho might be useful to fatten thc natives of tho Cannibal Islands, and to improve our export trade With that region; I shall recommend legislation upon tho subject in my first message. My campaign cry will bo: "Dissicate the poor workingman ! Stuff him into .sau sages !" these are about the worst parts of my record. On them I como before tho country. If my country don't want rae I wiii go back again. But 1 recommend myselfas a safe man-a man who starts from the basis of total depravity and pro poses to bo fiendish to tho last. Tho Ynun?
