The importance of the great political oon teat ?upon which we have now fairly entered renders the dissemination among the people of Bound political views and accurate and ear? ly information ol the progress and incidents Of the canvass, a matter of peculiar interest and erpedienoy.

The govern " ment must bo wrested from tho thieves and ? plunderers "who now have control of it, and po wer placed in the hands of a party pledged to give peace to a distracted country, and to make it a government for white men, and not for negroes.

MENTS IN CHARLESTON, AO. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT . ] I COLUMBIA, August 24.-I never saw a man hung, but I imagine that if I should, I would feel a sensation of pity for the victim, and yet j without the slightest desire to rescue him from the merited punishment of his. crimes. Ac any rate, I feel a sensation akin to pity, though savoring strongly of contempt, when I con? template, the moribund assembly, yolept the Legislature of South Carolina. Throttled by public opinion, not of the State alone, but of the whole country, its throes are mortal. There is none to stretch forth a helping hand. Borne things that occurred in the House to? day indicate the character of the body. 1* The Election bul, BB reported from the com? mittee, provided that managers of elections should be paid three dollars a day. Theex I travagance of this provision was clearly shown, I and several strong efforts made by Whipper and DeLarge to strike out the provision alto I ge the r, and failing that, to reduce it to seven I ty-fivti cents, one dollar, or one dollar and fifty cents; but the best they could get was two dollars. Whipper said they were passing this I bill to pay two dollars when they knew it was not necessary, and when they did not know where1 the money waa to come from. Tn fact, he did not see where the money was to come from to pay the Legislature itself. 2. The House voted down with laughter a resolution to sell State bills for what they would brm g to pay I members, and yet a bill providing for the very same thing passed the Senate and was read in the House the first time, and will probably be? come s law, unless the Governor vetoes it. 3. Henderson, of Newberry, wanted members to "considerate" tho pay of managers, because the duty was "a little more faliguener" tti-.a members might suppose; and the right sort-of men could not be found so "deliberal" aa to work for nothing. Burrel James, of Sumter, wanted "to fix up this fact that managen; must be promised something for their work, even if they never got nothing." This same fellow, James, offered a resolution to punish men for selling "whiskey" at the polls, without mentioning any other liquor. 4. Whipper of? fered the amendment to the Pilot bill, requir? ing oue of the commissioners to be a full branch pilot; and Wilder, of Richland, think? ing, very naturally, that a majority of the board should know what they were doing, proposed that two commissioners should be full branch pilots. Whipper explained that the present fri? branch pilot s were all whites and opposed to colored pilots, and to put two of them on the board was to exclude colored men from being pilots; and so the amendment requiring one commissioner to be a foll pilot was adopt? ed. An editorial article in the "Republican," the government organ, a miserable li Ul o sheet published by the pnblio printer and edited, I am told, by Attorney-General Chamberlin and Associate Justice Willard, creates some sensa? tion here, and is regarded as an incendiary document, lt contains au implied threat of changing our republican government to one of absolute form, which, to say the least, is remarkable coming from such a source. The Republicana held a caucus to-night, and made the following nominations for Circuit Judges for the first six districts, which are, of course, equivalent to an election: First District, which includes Charleston, Major D. T. Corbin, United States District Attorney; Second District, which includes Aiken, Ze? phaniah Platt; Third District, J. T. Green, of Sumter; Fourth District, James M. Rutland, of Winusboro'; Fifth District, Lemuel Boozer, of Lexington, present Lieutenant-Govern or; Sixth District, 8. W. Williams, of York. No nomina? tions were made for the Seventh and Eighth Districts, the caucus adjourning during the balloting for the Seventh. J. L. Moore, of Greenville,- is said to be the strongest candi? date for that dist net. A strong effort will be made to nominate James L. Orr for the Eighth District, but it is not known that he will accept even if elected. The impression seems to prevail among the Republican officeholders here that the alarm or rather 'apprehension of riots and disturb? ances, expressed by the people of Charleston, is all a political dodge. It would perhaps be well to collect and publish the startling facts on which that apprehension is founded. General John D. Kennedy, of Kershaw, ar? rived hero this afternoon. He and Col. J. P. Thomas will go to Abbeville to-morr?w to at? tend a political demonstration which is to take place there. Th e Democracy of the middle and up-country is aroused and at work, and the Christ Church barbecue mentioned in to-day's NEWS is regarded as a good sign that the low country is not asleep. LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OE BXPHESEHTATTVE8. ' AUGUST 24, 12.-M.-H. J. Lomax, of Abbe? ville, gave notice of a bill to punish office hold? ers foe malfeasance in office. Kuh, of Beaufort, asked leave to introduce a bill to regulate the granting of licenses by County Commissioners, and city and town councils. Bill read first time by its title. McIntyre, of Darlington, offered the fol? lowing: Whereas, The granting new charters to rail? road companies without talon? time to give them due consideration as to their merits, or whether they have fulfilled their obligations in their old charters, is inexpedient at this spe? cial session; therefore be it Resolved, That the granting of new or amending of old railroad charters be, and is hereby postponed until the next regular ses? sion of this General Assembly in November, 1868. Made special order for Wednesday at 1 P. M. Burrel James, of Sumter, offered a resolution to close barrooms on election days, and to punish those who sold whiskey by imprison? ment for ton-days, and a fine of $100. Referred to Committee-on -Elections. ? ' The Speaker read ?YetKrr of'General Meade acknowledging the invitation of the Legisla? ture to visit that, body, and. declining for the present on account of a press of business. The letter was ordered to aa spread upon the journal. bj The resolution which was introduced on Saturday, to sall State billa, at uigbest market rates, to pay per diem of members, was indefi? nitely postponed. 3 The bill for the temporary organization of ?the Educational Department was passed to a third reading. . .

The bill for the regulation of elections, and punishment of abuses of the elective franchise, being the special order, was taken up. - An amendment substituting $2 for $3 as pay of managers was adopt od. Hide, of Greenville, offered an additional section preventing persons from carrying li? quor to election polls. On motion of Tomlio son, the bill was recommitted to the commit? tee with instructions to consider section 9, and the additional section offered by Hide. Lee, of Charleston, introduced a bill to re? vise and consolidate the laws of the State. Bead first time. ; ' S, The bill to license pilots, Ac, waa then taken up. Au amendment offered by Whipper, that one of the board of co m mission ora shall be a first-class pilot, was. adopted*- Also, an amend? ment offered by Ezekiel, that the commission? ers be governed by tbe laws that have hereto? fore governed pilots in'this State, except so far as they may be in conflict with the consti? tution or this act.

Bill (from the House) to authorizo a State loan to redeem the oDltgations known as bills receivable of the State of South Carolina. AFTERNOON SESSION. Read twenty-three sections of the Tax bill. INCENDIARISM IN FAIRFIELD - A FACT FOB THE NORTH.-At a meeting of at least a thousand blacks, held at Blackstock, last Saturday week, and attended by Loyal Leagues from Chester and elsewhere, and which, perhaps, was the largest meeting ever held in Fail field District, a gentleman informs us that he heard the most popular of their speakers mc the following language : "Sow, my friends, you bear the white people make a good deal of talk about their heavy losses by black men stealing. But do they lose anything by it ? No, they don't; for you work for them, and they get it back in your labor. Suppose it's something to eat - that a black mau steals, it makes liim stronger, and the 1 white people get it back in his labor. Suppose he sells what he steals and buys clothing, don't he work for the white people, and do .'t they get back what he stole to buy clothes with in hie labor?" flin menee applause.] Is comment necessary ? We foll the people of the North that the patient forbearance of Southern men towards these foolish semi-bar? barians, temporai*t?yconverted into our rulers, finds no parallel m history. Through large tracts of country nine-tenths of the stock has been killed, and email depredations without number are committed daily which would long since have exasperated Northern farmers to an uncontrollable pitch of fury and vengeance. [ Wmnsboro' News, THE COTTON PBODDOT.-One bale of cotton, weighing six hundred pounds, sold, a few days ago, at Montgoanry, Alabama, at 42J cents per pound, and was shipped to New York. At such prices as this, the importan co of the pres? ent year's cotton crop in reinstating the South in financial credit can be scarcely estimated at this time. Though the crop is small, compar? ed with what it was in years before the war, its price, being doubled, gives an'aggregate return of commanding amount. The total re? ceipts of cotton at all the principal Southern ports since the 1st of September last to the 7th instant was 2,182,855 bales, against 1,855, 576 bales for the 6ame period m 1866-7-being an excess this season over lest of 327,179 bales. Thia cannot fail to bring the Southern States into prominenee as a productive portion of the Union, contributing lari-ely to the wealth of the country, and helping materially, at no distant day, in restoring the credit of the na? tion, as well as the credit of their own respec? tive Bt&teu.-Buffalo Courier, THE RELATION OF THE RACES. I ' , 1 AN ADDRESS TO THE COLORED VOTER?. TEE DEMOCRATIC POLICY. The misrepresentations of the purposes and desires of the Democratic party, and of the re? sults which would follow a Democratic success, which have been so continually made to the colored voters of the oity, render it necessary that an authoritative announcement should he made to tb em of the true principles and ob? jects of the Democratic party. It was, there? fore; Resolved, At a meeting of the Central Dem? ocratic Club, composed of delegates from the several wards of the city, that an address should be issued to the colored voters, on be? half of the Democratic party of the city and by its authority. In compliance with this resolution the fol? lowing address is published. It embodies all that we expect or intend. It contains no statement that we do not believe to be true-no promise that we do not intend honestly to folfil. Wo commend it to the candid and careful consideration of the colored voters, confident? ly trusting to the truth to reunite those whose interests are identical, and whom force and falsehood have kept separate so long. JAMES CONNER, President Democratic Central Club Of Oity of Charleston. TEE ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC WHITE" VOTERS OF CHARLESTON TO THE COLORED VOTERS 07 CHARLESTON, THE SEABOARD, AND OF STATE GENERALLY. We are influenced by various considerations to address von, and, m plain and simple lan? guage, to tell you truthfully our views and pur? poses. They are also the views and purposes of the great Democratic party, which, for fully three-fourths of the life of our government, has governed the United States, and is soon about to resume the administration of that govern? ment. Among those considerations are the fol? lowing: 1 ' * First. We are naturally your friends and you are naturally out friends. Any other relations between us are unnatural and injurious to both. We have the capital and give employments. We own the lands and require labor to make them productive and profitable. Ton desire to be employed. By your labor alone you can live. We desire to employ you and to have your la? bor-not because lt is better, or cheaper, or more profitable to us than the white labor, which will be glad to come and take your place if we are compelled to dis? card yours and invite it; but we desire your labor because yon know us, and we too ir yon. We were born together here and we have grown np together. In infancy we were nut sod together, in boyhood we played tc Sither. and we do not easily forget these inge for the sake of strangers. Hence it is, that we intend to leave ft entirely to your choice, whether you will be friends with us or be our enemies, and compel us to treat you as enemies. We know we can do without you. We think you will find it very difficult to do without us. We think it our duty to take care that you are as fully informed in making your choice, be? tween enmity and hostility TO US, and friend? ship and peace wiih us, as we can inform yon by telling you the whole truth. The reason that it is our duty to do tbis. is because we are indebted to you for great fidelity in the past, and because we are the stronger, and you the weaker party. It is always the duty of the strong and powerful, besides being just, to be generous. We nave the wealth. The houses in which you live are ours; the land? upon which you must labor or s tar ve are ours. We have educa? tion, advancement in the arts and sciences, and in civilization generally. You are, for th6 moat part, uneducated, just starting in the career in which wu are so far ahead of von. We have the numbers over you; - our race is thirty millions or more; yours tour millions or less. We think it our duty to use all these great advantages jusi ly and generously for your wel? fare, for your advancement in education, in the acquisition of property, and in the pursuit of every good thing which is meant by, or makes up what is meant by, "civdizalion" if you will allow us to do it. .Second. We see and know that you are hnr 2m g on into great and immediate trouble and nger to yourselves and your. race. Iou are proposing to bring on a conflict between your? selves and ourselves. If it comes-it you bring on that conflict, it will be a conflict between your race and our race. There ar? indications that you already think yourselves prepared for this conflict. You have for some time practic? ed aggressive and hostile conduct towards us. You have assembled as a party or class, and you have deliberately interrupted us in our meetings, insulted and assaulted individuals, among us, pelted our houses with B tones, insulted our families by vulgar and profane language, disturbed the night- quiet by unearthly whoops and screams, threatening "death to the Babels '-meaning ourselves; as? saulted and threatened the police and police stations of the city. You are arming and dril? ling in warlike practices, and this for aggres? sion and attack, not for defence; because you have no cause or pretence of cause for expect? ing aggression or attack from us: Yon have never been disturbed, not even in yonr riotous and disorderly conduct. We, of course, kuow that you are urged and enticed ou towards this great danger and trouble by wicked white men. We know thom, who they are, and all about them; what they say, and what they are doing, and we also know better than they or you can Avio ir, the sure and swift penalty which will fail upon particular men when the conflict begins. But this will not then eave you. You will not then be excused bfcauso you have been deluded and cheated by these infamous men. L?t en for one moment to particulars: When we held onr groat meeting on the eve? ning of the 24th July, you proposed, it is said, u udor the K aidan oe of a white mao who is your candidate for Mayor, aud, wa are told, assem? bled, to form in procession and disturb our meeting by marching through full five thous? and people, closely packed, in the street. You were, fortunately lor yourselves, prevented by the influence of the Mayor, who is also of your political affinity. If you had attempted this wilful aggression, you would have bronght on the conflict at that time; you did not expeot or intend otherwise. It would have been quick and decisive, and' ended before this time. Upon the click of the telegraph tiwi Democrats could not peaceably assemble in Charleston to raitfy their nominations, the City of New Yorn could alone send, and would have sent, from her swarming population, men enough to avenge us, and have made that toe last ol such conflicts for this occasion. Our next and only pubho meeting Binoe was a few days later, and in the open au*. It was so disturbed bv color? ed people, with singing, music, whoo pmer, and screaming and insulting language, that it adjourned. Ail this has been submitted to without retaliation or merited punishment. Other designs and threats have been reported to us upon evidence seemingly trustworthy, but so criminal and horrible that we will not disgrace you by the public appearance of bblief in such charges. They are at variance with our experience of your nature and general good character, bnt not inconsistent with the bad character and depraved nature of the white men you listen to, and might be the natural consequence of language we know they have used. They will be held to fearful account when the day of "their whirlwind cometh." We know, better than you know, why it is that the infamous outcast white men who lead you urge you into these aggressions. We will tell you why it is that they do it. They are in? structed by the central power of the Radioed parly. They would provoke bloodshed just as they did at Memphis and New Orleans in 16G6. The massacre and blood of a ; few colored people, they think, pending i this great election, would be prolific seed ; for Radical votes; and BO it would be if i the Bufferings of a four years' war, and the i worse endurance of radical rule for three years, 1 had not taught us some wisdom. If the con- 1 flict comes-if there shall be massacre and < bloodshed-it shall not be chargeable upon us; i and the contrivances of your Radical assoc.- I ates, and their lying newspapers, will not avail i again to cheat the people in that respect. j Do you rem ;mber the events of 1861-the ut- < tack on Fort Sumter, and the commencement I of the war? We are Bure you do remember. 1 There were then more people in the United i States who believed we had good cause of com- i plaint-who were opposed to tue jtiepuoiici party and its purposes-than there are nc who approve of the political supremacy wbic bas been given to you. The Republican par ivas then, as you are now, in a minority. M Lincoln and his party went into power by a m nority vote of the whole people. Agreatmajoi by of the American people was opposed to tl war. It could not have been carried on again os. Artful and designing men of the Republics party, seeing this, contrived to lead us on ti lhey*made us appear before the world as tl aggressors and tue authors of the war. F .: Sumter was reduced, and the national fla ired on and lowered by us. And then it was i Dncc the North, and th3 East, and the Wei were united against us. So it will be with yoi Jfou will begin the conflict. You are now bi grinning it. Ii you go on, our race with il thirty millions will be as one man against yoi race with its three millions. Ten to one 1 B ?rou see it? Do you doubt the result, or yoi inevitable fate? Consider what will then t pour condition which you will have accepte md chosen in exchange for your present hope ind the assurance of equal laws, equal justici peace and peaceable prosperity. Again (third ?ve know and fully understand the arts and fale booda by which the false and infamous whit nen excite yon into your present danger. To ure arming and drilling in warlike practice to protect your freedom 1 to prevent yon being again reduced to slavery 11 Th ed infamous men tell you it is the purpose of th Democratic party to restore slavery-that w intend this-that if you vote with us you wi rote to make yourselves again slaves. N falsehood ever exceeded this in wickednes ind audacity. Ii you would stop to think on moment you would see and detect it. We wi jxpose it to you: we will not ask you to tak JUT word for it, but we will establish what w jay hy pubhr records. It is a double false aood. For they know that we are not onl; Eruiltless of the charge, but we are thc part, which insists that your freedom is Axed am Forever settled; that it is not and cannot eve be questioned or discussed, while the Bepubh :an party have made it an opan question am save left it so; if they prevail now, at some fa ture day the lawful extinction of slavery ma; be denied and discussed. We will tell yoi bow this ia: On the 6th day of January, 1865 Congress agreed to an amendment of thi Constitution of the United States, ti be submitted to tho several States for their ap pro val, in the word? following : "AETICTLE XLTX SECTION 1. Neither slaver? nor involuntary servitude, except as a punish' neut for crime, whereof the party shall havi b -en duly convicted, shall exist within th? United ?taces, or any place subject to their ju risdiction. "SEO. 2. Congress shall have power to en [bree this ?rdele by appropriate legislation." This could not become a part of the consti ration without the consent and approval o three-fourths in number of the States. Thai aumber of States could not be had without th< southern States or several of them. The abo ii tion of slavery, therefore, could not be mad? lawful and binding without our aid. We gave that aid promptly and honestly. South Caro? lina was the first to do it. We who adores: ?rou were parties to it. It was done by the Lc S.ala ture of 1865, on the 13th day of November cher Southern States followed,until on the 18cl lay ot December,1865,a suffi ien t number of th? ?outhem States, namely : South Carolina, Ar? kansas, Alabama, North Carolina and Geor? gia, having ratified and approved of the amend' ment, the Secretary of State of the Unitec States, published tue lawful certificate, witt the great seal ot the nation thereto, and bon that day the amendment and the eternal aboli? tion of slavery, and the perpetual freedom ?f the colored- man, became the irrevocable highest law of the land. But mark you I Thii ls what we Bay. It is what the Democratic party says, and insists upon, and is now strug? gling to establish. Not so the Bepublicai Radical party. They deny this; You donbi us ? We will show you wo speak truth. This question being, aa we supposed, for? ever settled, was reopened by the Radicals, sc far as they could reopen it. Wo deny theil right or power to do this lawfully, but the; insist on it, and that is the issue to be tried-ii the great contest now going on. The Radicals, in L866, proposed ano the i amendment to the constitution, known as tb< fourteenth (11th) amendment. .They sent ii t? the States for approval. It came to thc same Legislatures, for the most part, ii the Southern- States which had approved and thereby made the amendment abolish? ing slavery. It was the same Legislature of South Carolina. The Southern Legislature! rejected the fourteenth- amendment, and il was thereby defeated. They did this because it disfranchised their best men, who had done no criminal or offensive acts, except euch at they had been encouraged and aided and sup? ported in doing by the people, and it would have been mean and disgraceful if the people or theil Legislatures bad punished those who were only participants in their bwn guilt. Thc Ra heals, incapable of distinguishing between meanness and generosity, were fiercely irritated at th it reiusal ; thereupon they declared our Legisla? tures illegal-the same Legislatures which had abolished slavery and assured your freedom, whose aid they had invoked and accepted They broke up these Legislatures by military power, because, they Bair),.they were "illegal.' They established military governments for a time, and finally your government,- such as it nowie. They call that legal We deny it. Il we are right, you are 8 af e. 'If'they are right and tho Legislature which made you tree was illegal, then the regality of your freedom is an open question for the future discussion of dema? gogues, Radicals and scalawags. It will be open merely for discussion and mischief, of no practical avail, because we, every man of us, and of the Democratic party, would stand by you to resist such a fraud. We ask you to stand by us for your own sake-not for our sake. We can and will take care of ourselves. We know how to do that, or td see that it is done. Their hatred to us was so great that, for its sake, with all their pretend? ed love for you, they would- give up youl* freedom and declare it "illegal. Their hatred to the slavery of the colored mau was less than their hatred to the white man of the South. Their love of t freedom for you was less than their love of slavery ror us. Do you not Bee it? Do you not see that if the Legis? lature which gave you fieodom was ''illegal," its act also must be illegal ? Do you not see who did this, and that they have failed to se? cure from tho Legislatures they call legal rati? fication of tho amendment of the constitution which makes you free ? Does not all this show to you what tricksters and cheats are leading you to your destruction ? After this exposure of them, when it is your tr ?A to find a pretence for hostility to us, you will pretend to believe the se men; otherwise you will not believe them. We have not left you one p ir tic le of 'reason for trusting them except your wish to do so. If. in fact, you are not deceived, but, knowing their falsehood, desire hostility ^o us, we cannot help it. We shall regret it, more for your own sake than our own. We have another very grave complaint against you. You have been placed in posses? sion of supreme political power in South Caro? lina; you are responsible for the manner in which that power is administered. The popula? tion of the State has two distinct general classes -your race, the colored race, ?nd our race, the white race. There is also another and third class, or more properly, a fungus of the white race, insignificant in numbers and degraded in character. But small aa it ia, this is again subdivided into t?o very distinct parts. Thoy are very comprehensively described in the dialect of the Hustings as "carpet-bag itine? rants and resident scalawags. ? This sub? division, with its two parts, governs you, and by your consent and folly, goverud the State. Vour race greatly exceeds ours in numbers in this State; you have a large majority ot the votes. With this power in your hands, you have scandalously misused it. Although you ?re for the most part uneducated and inex? perienced m public affairs, yet there are among you men of ability and education. Tues** men you have set asidj, and have "ommitted the Stato administration and its representation in Congress-its pa? tronage and power-its character and cred? it-to the carpet-baggers and scalawags. Not of course because your men are, in any merit, interior to them. You are their superiors, and iron have shown it whenever there has been a trial of ment. Superior in deportment, in ibility, even in property, and immeasurably BO in respect bility and character. You wore placed' in supreme power by usurpation, aid -d by military violence an J for"e. We might have looked on with Borne complacency, certainly with curiosity, and seen you try tho bnef ex? priment of governing us. You would not do raat. but you elevated over us and over your? selves false and wicked men. Did you do this jecause they avowed themselves our enemies? jr were you cheated yourselves? If the former, raen it it is the higuest proof of your enmity to ie and of your intention that we shall be ene? mies to one another. If the latter, then yon 20 w may show it by the choice you make. we wiu auuw LO jun im? ovi? v/? - ft- . ment it is that you have set up over yourselves and ourselves. It is now on exhibition at Columbia, playing its mad pranks to be stared at, the shame and ridicule of our whole coun? try. . It claims to exercise the power of taxa? tion, but it does not represent property. It would borrow money on the credit of the State. It destroys that credit by its lawless? ness and corruption. Whoever trusts his money to your government will lose it, and he will deserve his loss. You have a Governor, a Lieutenant-Go vernor, a Secretary of State, a Treasurer, a Comptroller-General, an Attorney General, a Superintendent of Education, and an Adjutant-General. These are the execu? tive or administrative corps. You have a Senate and a House of Representatives. These are one hundred and fifty-five in number, and constitute your Legislature, which levies taxes, borrows (ii it can) and spends money for us. Now this whole Legislature, all its members, and the Executive corps put together, are taxed six HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO DOLLA BS AND TWENTY-TWO CENTS 111 The one hundred and fifty-five legislators (House and Senate) are taxed six hundred and thir? ty-five dollars and twenty-two cents ($635 22); equal to four dollars and. nine cents ($4 9-100) each. But ninety-one of these- legislators pay no tax at all. They are not on the tax rolls. The twenty senators and representatives from the old commercial dry of Charleston are taxed eighty-four dollars and thirty-five cents ($84 35-100). All of this sum save one dollar is paid by one member-a respectable colored man. He pays the largest tax of any one in the Legislative or Executive Department of your government. That other ooo dollar is assessed-and may be he pays it-upon your Adjutant-General, Moses, who is a member for, but never a resident ot, Charleston, also the Speaker of the House, and the son of the chosen elected, but nevertheless Apocryphal, Chief Justice of your Supreme Court-a bench promising to be as wonderful as your Legis? lature. The executive corps aggregated is tax? ed sixteen dollars and ninety-nine cents ($16 99-100). This large sum, except the Adju? tant-General's one dollar already named, is paid by the Lieutenant-Go vor nor. The Gov? ernor and all tne remaining debns pay nothing. We refer to the taxes of 1867. They cannot yet be ascertained for 1868. It is boped that a sense of shame will induce your representatives to contribute some portion of their salaries, or of tueir lobby contingents, this year to the pub? lic necessities. Now, we ask yon squarely and plainly, do you suppose such a state of things can endure? Can a government be carried on by such persons? Will they find fools who will trust them or lend {them money? If they do find such, does one single man in South Caro? lina believe that the property-holders will be such fools as ever to pay one dollar of the debts they may contract? You know they will not. Do you suppose the taxes they levy will be paid? A few weeks will determine that-be? cause it .viii determine whether we shall again be put under military rule. One thing is sure and inevitable-if you persist ia maintaining such a government we cannot and will not maintain you. It will not be hostility to you? no t a desire to oppress or compel you-but that irresistible, unwritten law of neces? sity, of self-preservation, which nature has. made for us, and made it stronger than ail human laws, because it is of Divine origin. Tha - law will compel us to call in the hardy and thrifty white man from abroad and substitute his Labor for your labor. He will succeed to your peaceful homes and you will follow the path and the fortune of the Indian, who thought as you now think, and he rushed as you now blindly rash upon your inevitable fate. You have your choice now. You may never have it again. IT you are true to your? selves, true to our mutual interests and welfare: if you stand by us, we will stand by you, and tbera will be peace and prosperity and all their blessings shared between us. if you ohoose otherwise, and stand by your present associates; if you adhere to them and insist that you will put them to govern ns, and you submit your? selves to be governed by them, then you must go your ways and we will go our ways. We will not molest or trouble you. You may ia peace run your course of wretchedness and ruin. We sholl not follow you. We must and we will take care of ourselves. Thule of these things, sedately and calmly. They are vital to you. We know ii, and for your own sake, we en? treat yon to be guided by truth and nothing else, in forming yj. judgment, lt will be a judgment which - adhere to you fer good oi1 evil, and to yo ir children, and the genera? tions that will foll >u- them. THE CAMPAIGN. DEMORALIZATION OF SOUTHEBN RADICALS. The New York Herald of Sunday says: Not only does the Southern Radical darkey slip away from his Northern driver at the criti? cal moment, but even the carpet-bagger is delusive. There are queer sounds from Ala? bama. W. B. Jones, nominated as an elector on the Grant ticket, refuses to serve, and goes for Seymour; Thomas Masterson, a Badioai light in the Alabama Legislature, is announced as on the Seymour slump, and John Hardy, some time publisher of the Badicai organ m Montgomery, declares himself as compelled to suspend publication, and to shu*; up shop ''for want of patronage." Badicai literature goes begging for readers, and Radical office (without pay) for holders. Jones, Masterson and Hardy were great men of the carpet-bag regime and they are falling away to Democraoy. Well, they must (lo somethiag for an honest living, and the th ug they find it easiest to do is politics; and if a man do s politics for a living he must bc on tho winning side. This ac? counts for the transit of Jones, Masterson and Hardy. Indeed, if the probabilities of the suc? cess of Seymour contin?e to rise as they have done lately we shall see many more mutations, and the Radicals can scarcely wonder if, in view of probable defeat, tiny lose mea who were with them only because they were the upper dogs io the fight. Thoy may reproach themselves, however, that they consented to carry on the great business of reconstruction with such material. A RADICAL FEELER-A NEW METHOD OF CARRY? ING THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. A Washington telegram of the 22d instant, to the Hornld, says : lt is said here to-day that shou'd the result of the October ?lections indicate a probability of Democratic cucceas in the Presidential con? test, tho State Legislatures of tho North which have a Radical majority wdl proceod to ohoose Presidential electors, and thus defeat the po? pular win. The idea seems to be thrown out as a feeler at present, but it may become a reality if it is received with favor by the Re? publicans of New England. PLOT TO PERPETUATE RADICAL RULE IN ALA? BAMA-PROPOSED EXTENSION OF THE TERMS 07 CONGRESSMEN. Politicians who have arrived here to-day from Alabama give information of a new dodge to perpetuate Badicai rule lo that State. A party ot extreme Radicals there is urging the Governor to call an extra session of the Legis? lature with a view to extenuing the tenn of the preeent Congressmen from tuat State for two years. The pretext for this outrageous usur pati >n is that the present members having en? tered upon their duties so late in the season nave not had a fair whare of the delights of Washington legislators, and should therefore be allowed to serve for two years more. De? mocratic politicians here douounce the scheme, and Bay tho Governor of Alabama will not sanc? tion it. MISCELLANEOUS. Hon. George H. Peudleton spoke in Port? land. Me., on saturday night. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed. One who has conversed with Mr. Seward de? scri?os his position thus : "Ho wants Grant nd Colfax defeated, but he don't wast Sey? mour and Blau* to do it." In the co use of Mr. Pendleton's speech at the Democratic meeting at Bangor. Me., he re? marked that it was chiefly owing to the indom? itable firmness of a Maine senatoi that the President was not deposed from office and a Radical leader pat in h's pl ce. Ai this point the report Bays: "General Roberts proposed three cheers for the Hon. Wm. Pitt Fessenden, the senator alluded to, and tb .so were given with ?.he greatest enthusiasm, tbe audience rising." The Legislature of Florida adjourned without making any provision for (he payment of the interest OD the debt of tho St tte incurred be? fore the nar, which amounts in rou.id Dumbers to $500,000. A number of prominent Radicals are anxious to have th Legislature convened in extra session tor tae purpose of repealing the '?>< w giving i hat body tue power to choose Presidential electors, ai they fear from p*bt experience that its members may be corrupt? ed, and oast their votes for Seymour and Blair. ' C.) Journal, of yesterday, announces %e pro? gress of several important enterprises, and states that the Cape Fear Fibre Company is getting ont five hundred dollars worth of mate? rial each day, and gives employment to a large number of hands. A company have purchased the plantation of Henry Nutt, about eight miles from Wilming? ton, for $30,000, comprising about 1700 acres, and will have a capital of $80,000 to $100,000, and intend to go largely into the culture of grapes. Dr. Thomas D. Hogg, of Haleigh, who is one of the company, will proceed to Europe to examine into the cultivation of tbe vine. CONNUBIAL EFFECT OF SPRINGS.-It basTal ways seemed to methat ono of the qualities sought by women at the springs is the genera? tion of matrimonial proposals. They want to be healed of celibacy and of jil danger of the unwelcome disease. An elderlv woman with seven daughters, says an old habitue of this place, has married off three of them by drink? ing the water of the springs. He thinks it're? quires, on an average, ab jut five hundred gol i lons tr a husband, and that if the elderly mam? ma kjeps on she will soon be left &? daughter less a.3 she can wish. I have seen thc woman and her family, and if the three wedded daugh? ters are as uninteresting ic appearance as tho four that remain, 1 am willing to testify to the connubial efficacy of the aprif.gs. ?.... 'jri ' ' A woman's meat' may "bo" a man's poison. I should suppose the men here would, for tho reason given, be afraid of the waters, which must cast a glamor over objecte and make them seem very different from what they are. Marriages made at watering places, I have of? ten observed, fail of resulting happily; andi am inclined to think it is because of the stimu? lating effects of the water on the imagination. sighing and sentimental youth, longing to be matrimonially clewed, before you propose to Araminta, before yon conclude ber an angel in a skeleton skirt, or a goddosa in tho latest style of gaiters, stay away from' tho ' springs for a few days, and see if you come 'not out from the magic c!otra ?
