We cannot roly upon i?e forvor of 1876. Such efforts are not re? peatott In a generation? We can/only si-cccod by thorough erg*nU*Uoa and diligent work, and in preparing for this you have, ia roy judgment, seised upon the trae plan of battle.. When the can? vasa, with its disturbing influences, ia limited to the short period necessary for the only purpose lt can effect, the arousr lng nud solidifying our friooda for the final effort, you have given the time to do the work which will be most powerful in accomplishing the result. Thia Is K conical io ha won hy votes., There ia a portion of our pooplo who are reliable to a man, who need no som. mons but that of tho Democracy. To bring these to the ballot box is the only problem. A very large part of tho re maining portion bf our people have now voted vfU? the Democracy in two succes sive campaigns We have only to poll tts same votes and to supplement their number. ' Tho. time you have wisely given to tho purpose will enable your ex ecutive authorities, both State and coun ty, to quietly and patiently organice our forces tc movo when tho signal is given. .A :A? opportunity is afforded to recruit our ranks by the exertion of tbe full in dividual Democratic voter, that "each man aman" policy, which wehavo be fore found a powerful factor of success. Accepting in perfect good faith the en largement and debasement of tho suffrage which events have compelled, wo will and must preserve the life of the Common wealth by keeping its control in the banda of its butter element. Seeking to deprive no man of his fraachiao,conceding free ly to all men their rights under tho law, tho God-given right of preservation re mains, of which neither laws nor con stitutions can doprivo a people, and v?t will assert it by those appeals to reason, to interest nnd ito personal;associations which influence' men everywhere. . Wo havo found them potent before, and we will find them potent now. I have spoken of tho approaching canvass only fem our local standpoint because the nec^ar'.ty of local success is to us supreme. But our interests und welfare cannot bo dissevered from tho National Democra cy. Until the General Government is restored to tho mothods and doctrines of ita founders, until tho American doctrine of local affairais again made tho koy stono of the structure, until there is blaz oned upon its portals once more, that "the powors not delegated to tho United States by the Constitution no? prohibited by it to the States are reserved to the Stales rittiectively or to tho pooplo" until this h done tho position of civiliza tion in South Carolina and of all that makea the State fit for freemon to live Ink nt best but,that of armed neutrality. Our psoplo want peace. They want repose from < revolution and revoiu'ljnnry meAhodv Ravaged by war and stricken and stunned by Federal leg islation, they htive staggered tb their feet and ask only to bs lot alono in their pro gross of recuperation. Tho freeman wanta relief from disturbing political ag itation, that he may recover and inereaso his prosperity. The freedman wanta it that he may qualify himself by educa tion for the duties imposed apon him. and that ho may enjoy. In material ona mora- progress the opportunities of the higher i!une to which he has been elova ted. God grant that this peace in Ita fui I est development may not be far distant, that ibo doctrines of conciliation ana good will ned harmony among all classes of our citizens set forth in the platform of 1876, and faithfully acted upon by the Democracy for the last four years, may be carried to a fuller fruition. It Is upon that platform of puro gov ernment administered by competent of ficials, of economic administration, of equal rights before the law and of har mon iona progress that we stand to-day ns we did then. It & to those ends that I invoke your effort in the approaching political struggle, and should success, ns I ara asanred lt will, attend tho result, you have tho assurance Of every act and utterance of my political life that I will, so far as in mo Iles, faithfully exe cute your bebwfc?.

Tho following essay was read before a rscent meetly of Assoc la te Orang? by Col. W. S. Pickcns, and is published by request of the Orange: Worthy Matter, Patrons and Friends : The field assigned is vast, ?he motivo power is weak ; but if I could bring to bear a giant intellect, coupled with the most powerful energy, justice could not be done In an essay limited to an occa sion like this. Fruit, luscious fruit 1 the sight of which causes the eye of the infant to sparkle in bright anticipation, childhood to dance with gleeful Joy; that which excites hunger and longing in youth, produces strong - desires in mature manhood and sharpens tho appetite of old ago; that which is a necessity of our physical na ture; luscious to the taste, excites the digestive organs, strengthens the nerves, renovates the system, and is universally sought by man, beast and bird ; and yet, O, how culpable are we, in that we foil to provide such en essential, and by such neglect set before our children A tempta tion to criminality which they are scarce ly able to resist, for then- longings for fruit-in its season-aro such that they are - bound to have it, by begging or sponging if thoy can, but by stealth if they must. And yet, how little atten tion is given by the mass of farmers and landowners to this vastly important item in tho make up of a good living. Oh I says on% I have no time to attend to such matters. To such I would say, save tho fragments, utilize the moments, and you'Will have timo plenty. But says another., it takes ap too much good ground for an orchard. I answer by saying, shame on you, sir, when I seo all around your lots, plot? and gardons ?nough lands wasted . in Jamestown, earless, Jerusalem and horehound weeds and other malarial and noxious pesta to grow all the fruit treos necessary for your household. But to the subject. First, the location for apples. Let it be a depression or northern slope, thereby keeping tho tem perature as low and even as possible through tho winter and early spring in order lo prevent. killing off by frost The ground should be dark, tenacious loam, with a clay subsoil, which will give a more vigor?os and healthy growth as well aa lessen tho danger cf uprooting by etorms, and being less porous is not so subject to frequent atmospheric changes, and Is altogether preferable to light sand or gravel soil. Kot the trees 18 feet each, way. While I am apprised that thia is leas distance than IB usually adjudged necessary, yet, ofter observation and ex perience of fifty years, I claim that it ia sufficient for the penetration of light and heat for the full development of fruit and growth of tree, and thus planted they act as a mutual support and protec tion to the tree in time of storm and to tho? fruit in timo of chilling wind and late spring froat. As to tho propagation and st?ckln?- ic is folly to go beyond the mountains, rivers and seas to got oelec- ! lions while Nature's God bas given every 1 sall and cllmute that variety suited to ita ? latitude I once imported seventeen va rieties of soloct apples a distance of COO miles only to learn that but three out of the lot were wo*th bringing, while all were good, and cvtra good, In their na tive soil. Fruit, Uko other things, must bo acclimated,; and where there la great contrast in the component parts in the make-up of the sol), as well as great dif ference lu tho climate, it bas its wonder- ' ful effects apon the fruit, and usually to Its disadvantage. But for variety, by , propagating from seed, hybridizing aau j grafting we can havo all that is necessary ? to our latitude. Indeed, too many vari- i etica ls only vanity, or rather for the sake | of gratifying vanity, for only a. few of i the varieties can be raperior. We want j size, flavor and keeping qualities In the <ru.it and health, vigor and capability of ' much bearing in tho tree, and the rcqui- j aitlon ia full. Take, f?r instance the early red and white Jane, followed by the golden sweet and golden Kusse it these succeeded by the norse apple ana the variegated Redraft, (or pie apple) these followod by tho merit or Shockley and the large yellow ? .arman, and these \ again by the red cluster, the winter sweet and tho green Fearman, and we havo all in point of variety, flayor and keeping that Is desirable. In short, fruit alf the time, for the threo last namod varieties, as I huvo tested, will keep to meet the fruit of the succeeding season. And. hero arisca the question of preservation. Tho answer is, gather at tho'approach of frost, store dry In a well-ventilated apart- ? ment where ?lr can pass underneath, and all that ia further necessary ia to keep dry and above the freezing point. The Btockiug and culture of an orchard de mands attention. Sci tho scions of any hea?ihy, weU-shaped sprouts at hand, and graft for select varieties; but do not set a? if planting a stack-pole, in a hole just huge enough to swallow the stock, with cramped roots, but let tho excava tion, bo sufficient to bold the roots laid horizontally, Bet in ten inches deep, fill with good soil sufficient to cover the reeta and then drench with water to settle the dirt well about tho roots; then fill the remainder of the hole with dry dirt If ? thia ia done from November to February, 'j and the same sides of the tree turned to tho pointa of the compass as.it first g*?*? ? ihere^nced not be exceeding 2 per cent, rf um in irani planting, xnen Keep th?"! ground w?U pulverized-deep at first; more shallow near tho tree os thc* roots psp?rru. jo.?cp viOrc >> Wccun, oVu;u Ci Ops ; that leave on tim land any amount of dry I stubble or haulm, branch the top at four feet above ground, ena in due time thora will be a good orchard.'-If.grafting is done at the ground simply cut off the stock and slit in thc center of tho stomp, than insert tho graft, Shaped glut or wedge-like, taking narc that bark shall meet bark, at least On One side. Then a poultice of mortar over the joint will answer ; but if desirable to graft up in the branches of tho tree insert as above j itated, and then bind wiih a strip of cloth I saturated in a Solution of two parts rosin, ono of beeswax and cue of tallow, sim mered together. Biud tho cloth tightly around the joint co as to excludo air and hold ia place, and.the work ia done. I prefer to take grafvs off hetlthy, bearing trees-evoidipg_ water sprouts;-in Jana srv ~ uint or jc?o?is??y, ????" u?Ty in0m In ?rxrth earth smtil tho aap bcfiirui toi lid the bud of the fcrer*?; then cut ] a from threo to four inches in length, jg at least two. bud j oin ti or eyes to sack graft end iusertj as shove, and thero Deed not bo a loas exceeding G per cent, and if taken fronv bearing trees and set I l? stocks or trees large enough, I have had them bear fruit the eecoad year, and In.one itiataueo thc f *iit matured on thc irhft' even the Mime 'season' in which it Ndeaet, Au ?pp'o tree well cared for .ia. j : 50 ,year?, bot thsre oro per:., kinds cf vermin that must bo | ^ar a* ecomlee., For tho l>odv ; s tho best cl?au?>p and ronova have tried bf aa ?anual wash? of lyb drift from. wood ashes i;?a?r ?pr).off *ea*cc. Next to Wash take four parti lima and salt lo which odd sufilctant in meat baa been pickled. ?,.^:r>-,,?w?>;r;.'?y. Aa the apple is tho teodiog x robard fruit with us, I bave dwelt at eomo length in giving details,-and ein merely touch opon a few other kinds. Taking next the peach, which is un certain in its bearing and subject to mauy fiesta, jet withal very desirable. Let the ocation, ia this section of country, for a peach orchard be on the most elevated ground, or if sloping let the dip be to wards tho north, and it will be lesa sub ject to frequent freezes in the winter, and the temperature kept lower and the budding held back until later, and thus lessen the danger from spring frosts. The distance need not exceed 16 feet from tree to tree. I wou'd prefer to plant the seed at once wher, the tree is to grow; as it insures a more vigorous Kjwtb and lessons tho probability of rers or grubs in tho roots, as they seem to bave an inclination to seek bruised or wounded parts in which to commence their depredations. Tho best applica tion which I have found to the roots as a preventative is a solution of limo and salt, and next ashes and rusty Iron. Peach trees should always bo branched low, say from three to four feet body. It is safer from storms and it will be caller to gather the fruit. As to variety, I pre fer for early ripening the clo^h-of-gold plum, and tho red-side-open-seed. Tor summer use the large cologne-drip and the orange, both free stoue, and the gold en and Maryland ! yellow, both plum. Both of tho last varieties are superior for drying purposes. For full use take tho while and yellow clings, and tbe yellow October-open seed. But I will bore stale that in order to obtain ea: ly and late varieties, take tho seed of tho carly before quite ripe and plant, aud it will bring a tree much later in ripeniug, and it may be thu? continued until it will not ripen at ail';.-or, on the other ex treme, let the late'peach remain OD the tree until it falls from -ripeness and then take the whole poach thus mellowed and plant it. On trees thus gruwu I have had the fruit to ripen tour weeks earlier than on the mother tree, thus demon? struting the practicability of getting ia a few years both early and late peaches from the same original tree. The com position of tho soil and culturo of tho tree for peaches is much the same ai that of apples, and with proper care the peach will bear wbeu from three to four years old, and in some cases will live for tliir*iv years. Until I can find a preventive or remedy for tho riug blight to which the pear tree is subject, I deem it unnecessary to say much of its culture. As the surest to repay the care bestowed, I prefer tbe oval June or tho fig black-heart, both good bearers of fruitTusciou? to taste. ? For summer use and drying purposes the August bell thrives best and ts protty j sure to bring a crop every alternate year, but only begins to bear from eight to fourteen yuan of age, and continues thence up to forty, sometimes fifty years. As to cherries, overy family tust will ?give a fense corner can have tbe acid j and the Moy cherries. The block cherry' makes a beautiful and well proportioned ornamental tree, but in this section I have never known it to bear to any pay* ing exteut. ; . > . Of plums I regard none so valuable as tho Now Orl?ans sugar, plum. IL is a rapid aud symmetrical grower, nnd if planted where tba laud is constantly trod upon, it is a cohst?nt bearer,' and in thirty-five years' experience 1 hare not known a crop to blight or prematurely rot. This fruit, to 'roy taste, excels any other plum, end the tree ia free from thosa deadly pesta that destroy so much oi mon's labor. Other varieties of cul tivated plums oro quite uncertain, mostly) shedding thc fruit or rotting as it matures, and thus disappointing our hopes. The blue damson ls perhaps worth some at tention, but generally the sun cracks and spoils the fruit before it ripem. Figs, of the varieties common with us. the small blrok-heart is to be preferred aa a sure bearer, and the fruit, either I fresh or dried, is delicate, refreshing and ?pleasant, and is also considered quite j wholesome. It is not liable to blight, but ia not sufficiently hardy to stand our wiutor frecaes. and until we become more provident and painstaking is not worth garden1 room. ' Of grapes, there are numerous varie ties hawked upon the market, most of which ore too subject to rot to be worth much attention. The sm-ui mountain summer or wino grape is among the sweetest aud best varieties with us. Next to this is the Scuppernong, which is rather a muskadiue, and is hardy and of rapid growth and not much subject to disease. But here I would like to suggest that one of the principal causes of rot io grapes is our nightly dews. This you may verify by training part of the vine ; on trellis and another part of the same vine on a tree with foliage, or tender the eave of a roof, aro yoe will be convinced of the correct ne. z of my conclusion, for whilo you will get a.crop from the pro tected vibe the other will shell ita fruit , and disappoint your expectations. For family purposes-making wine, pro I serves, pies, or even first-rate vinegar I tbs domestic summer grope may be made a source of both pleasure and profit, only requiring foothold and room to grow. But every kind of grape which I nave tried docs best by annually pruning bo? foro the flow of sap. for after that period they will drip or bleed, perhaps to the ruin of tho vine. But with proper train lng, plenty of pole, protection from dew, ground moderately rich, dry and some? what gravelly you moy luxuriate in grapes whilo Bitting under your own vino and looking upon your own ?g-treo. But wbuo I am aware that 1 must clrso this essay without having given much edification, yet I ?tm disposed to give you a-amiu. decant of raspberries, even ff it is a bramble. No lino in the garden paya bettor than the ono well stocked with' raspberries. The small purple to the sureet bearer, k Lardy and of essy growth, sniy needing rich, pub vorirea soil and a .'ramo, or poles, to bear it up, and sure each year will there be a full crop of luscious berries, which, for pies or a dessert witu cream and sugar? cannot be surpassed. 1 a ??U crop ovory year ; remember than thal the ?ame vine only bears one crop, ?nd iv exhaust ed. Then It devolves upon ibo gardener aa soon aa thc *-op is exhausted to cut away all bushes that hove borne, and give place for the young .'hoots that ore i coming forward to fill the demands for the succeeding crop; And now, having passed in brief pur view a few of the leading fruits of our o reborda, and having also exonerated myself of the possibility of bel?g charged ai dorelict in duty to the organization with which I affiliate, it only remains for rue to thank the Associate Orange for tho honor conferred, for tho kind indul gence and patient bearing given and to implore that you redouble your efforts to mako tho Organisation io practical real ity what it bas long* been In moory-au institution for the promotion of tho in terests and ?lavotlnn of tK?? sli??dsjrd -- society, physically, mentally, mot al ly ??'I socially throughout the vholo of our country. - mmm -. ?

Ooo false move will make it a panie and a root. "The army will fall bf ck in a more favorable position," were the words of the general to the various commanders. That meant defeat. It meant that our dead and wounded were to be left in tho hands of the enemy. It meant that we bad been outgeneraled and that tho only hope left was to withdraw and re-form in a now position.

There is only the one dusty, crooked highway for bunt ed and hunter.
