Friday Morning. Maj 1, 1888. Enlargement. ' . ''?[ ' ^ j Wo appear before1 oar reade?, jibia j morning, in aa enlarged iota.' Tu? Phoenix, in spite of the moderate food it subsiste upon, spreads its wings and rises for a bolder sweep. With eyes open tb the true interests of those in whoso behalf it plumes ita flight, tho bird catches the new life which the rising Democracy of the State has infused into her true sons, and seeks to point the way to the purer atmosphere above, wherein lives the true spirit of Carolina. To drop metaphor; we desire to say, iu plain terms, that in. ordor to make our paper moro nttractivo to ita patrons, we have gono to tho expense of increasing the number and extend? ing tho length of our columns. Wo hope to giro to ooi 'readers a news? paper select in its extracts, elevated in ita moral tone, and instinct with the spirit of earnest devotion to the enduring interests of this State and the whole country. Comp?tent edi? torial assistance has been secured. Believing that much of the con? servatism of the land has fount?! refuge in the ranks of the ?atfpdal Democratio party, and that ?ti this organization are centered 'all the hopes of the State and-'tne country; that therein are embodied the prin? ciples of our government, as enun? ciated and laid down by tho fathers of tho Bepnblic, we shall give our hearty support to the men and mea? sures of the Democratio party of the State and of tho United States. In taking this position, however, we reservo to ourself the right of con? demning what we caunofc approve; in all matters, adhering to the motto of this journal and letting "our just censure attend die true event." Tho Kcttult or Action on the Part of thc Southern Conservative*. Ono thing we have to contend against nt the South at this time, is tho apathy of the whites. In the cstimuto of tho harm done the con? servative cause of the South, next to the recreancy of those men who unite with tho radical party, is tho indiffovuuee and tho apathetic feeling of ?unie Of oui- peuple T'iare are men. who aro saying thero is nb uso trying that-we can do nothing. Thesemen, without intending it, aro enemies to thoir own cause. Their doubts aro traitors. On tho other hand, observe tho effect of tho effort? which the conservatives have recently made here and elsewher?. At home, it has improved tho public tono and impart? ed buoyaueo to tho publio sentiment, and mudo men realize thoir strength and influence. "All is. not lost," oc? curs to many who, before, were in thc depths of despair. And abroad, nt tho North, tho effect has boon marked and promising iu tho highest degree. Tho conservativo journals North express admiration at the efforts made by tho whites to relieve their land from radical rule. Those who help themselves will bo helped. If thc Democracy of tho South ox pect help from their friends North, the parly must take tho politicul held and whatever be tho odds against them, they must raise thoir Demo? cratic conservative banner, and mako tho best light they can. "Who does thc best his circumstances allow, docs well-acts nobly." THE DE?IO?KAT?CI CANDIDATE iron THE PRESIDENCY.-Tho New York ' Herald is speculating upon tho pro? per man for the Presidency. That matter, wo hope, will bo wisely set? tled by tho Democratic Convention o[ tho 1th July next. Wo may say, hovover, that, in our opinion, no numb yet suggested would be more acceptable to the South than that of Gen. Huhco?k. His noble and gene? rous conduct, whilst in command of the Fifth Military District, has, as thc Now York Herald says, endeared him to tho Southern people In tear, be was a ?oeman worthy of Southern sttol; in peace, wo would expect to lind 11 him all that is magnanimous. W. Pl\>\vight, iu tho Wiinsboro -"V< Ss, "goW bu'/k" on tlc wmld-be San;V, J. T^Jfiutlaud, and p that !.. ^VJl3 anM^Vriiiil-out secess i-St^i1 ^^thc secretory or \^ Saya the New York Her aid: j i ;*>r "A late despatch from Gen. Can bj, commander of the Second Southern Military District, embracing tbc States of North and South Carolina, saya that on the ratification of thc new Constitution ?a? tcmal rite of South Carolina, so far as reported, is 86i843-majority, for, > the Constitu? tion, 88,101. Three Districts not heard from, ; six incompleto. ? The majority on the foti vote, will, there? fore, in all nrohab?ity, largely exceed 40,000. This is not earprising, when we take into account these facts: That there are 400,000 blacks in South Carolinaagainst 300.000 whites, and that universal negro suffrage operated in this election in favor of the blanks, whilo the disfranchise.:' men! of the leading, whites, on ac? count of their connection with tb? | rebellion, materially reduced wJmt otherwise would be the white yot?. Tho registered voters'of .the Sh?*e are 46,646 whites and 80,714 blacks; so that, from the results of tb? election as reported, theed was not a full turn? out on either side, and the election went by default. In Xorth Carolina and "Geor?ia. whar* the "recistered whites have the majority, wo look for different result*, especially aa tho blacks aro evidently beginning to bolt from tba radical camps. As for poor, unfortunate South Carolina, it is to ho feared that her troubles under r?egro supremacy nre just be ginp/bg. althongh, if the conserva? ti^', -polioy towards the blacks pro? posed by Gen. Wade Hampton were generally adopted, we have no doubt that tho blacks and their late masters would soon be working harmoniously together." We aro duly obliged to tho Herald j for its expression of sympathy for "poor, unfortunate South Carolina;*' but tho whites feel that in time they will show themselves well able to take caro of their interests. Beneath tho wave of radicalism, tho roots of tho palmetto live, and the typical tree of the State will yet grow and put out leaves. < ?? ? i?

J I l?dier to a Colored Matto-BEeniUcr KU<t to til? ??W Legislature. Awon, 1868: To ir<? 'i-.: Your recent election to.a responsible office under tie re? construction measures of tho mdfcal J party,Jleads a friendly' neighbor to ask some very plain questions. I do? oli ne all further discussion with you, or any man, for pol?tica is no mora, my tfad? *h?u yours. But respecting, ns I do,- your char? acter as (in iodustriotts, honest man, (though I must think greatly wrong in this,) I wish to know how you c0uld cohscienciohsry accept, iii times j-of gr?at public danger, au office so |,fn? 'of . wepoasibjlity, affecting the liroperty -and lives of thousands, when you know nothing about it, and are unfit by education or other? wise for it? How can you draw pay from me and others by'taxation, for professing to do work in the public service, which you caunot do wifely, to save your life? I suppose others in th At TiMr?fclnftiro ?re ever; ??Ss uulo than you--do other men's wrong? doings excuse yours aud mine? Sup? pose you were nominated and urged by your friends, what does your con? sent mean, but that yougagree to do tho work aud take tho profit? Jf yon agree tims, and yot are confessedly j i unfit-if you really know nothing of j | politics, or your duties, is (Inti honest? Congress did not say yon must run for office, if ' uneducated. Loyal leagues could not compel you. You acted freely, and are to blame for it, if wrong is done. Let me seriously ask yon,, is it modest and proper in ignorant men to become hiw-makers and rulers over wiser, men? Should children try to rule and tax grown nj) nien? 'How do you expect this to affect the educated white men? Is it natu? ral for them to be satisfied with being ruled aud taxed by tho uneducated, who have uo property and pay no taxes themselves? Take it home to yourself. If you were a master me? chanic, building a bouse, aud a party of men were to set au inexperienced apprentice over you to spoil the job and ruiu your tools, how would you feel about it? And when they went away, what would you be apt to do with the saucy apprentice? My good friend, what will the co? lored people gain by making enemies of the whites, which you must do by ?utting uneducated men into power? .'bile the' colored peoplo may out? number them in certain places, yet over the South tho whites are two to one. White men from Europe will be coming in constantly, hui no more black men come hither from Africa, Besides, the respectable white men of the Zsorth are our kinsmen. We have one race and one colo-. It is true that they are very angry with us now, and are willing to see colored people rule over ns. But auger will not last forever. They are naturally our friends, and when all white men agree, who will protect you, if your immodesty in thrust; ng ignorint men iii I o office, shall have mudo enemies of the Southern people? Do you believe that the radicals will always bo iu power? They are growing more unpopulur erery day iu the North. They ure ruuuing the Government in debt, increasing taxes and robbing the Unit?d States Treasury, (so say many Northern papers.) They are losing Votes at home, and iu order to hold their power, make votes of colored people here, and put them up to rifling over us. They did not intend Riving you freedom, if you will beiievo their Congress, until they saw they could not oonquer tho Confederacy uuril they raised negro soldier) to fight with their hired Dutch and Irish. And now they aro using your votes to help themselves into power, for yon and I have repeatedly heard them declaro publicly, that they would tako awoy the power, if you do not vote their ticket. Are you willing to make bitter enemies of tho people with whom yon liv<?,?to please tlieso selfish strangers? You ought to know that educated white men will never consent to be ruled by people, inferior iu numbers ami in mind. The white man won this land from the fierce Iudiau, before ever a black man was brought hither, nnd he will hold it to tho end. History tells of no colored raco ruling over white men, and though tho radicals may use you to insult and wound our feel? ings for a time, it will not last. And if black men barden thc hearts of Southern white mer;, they must ex? pect that human nature will have its revenge. ' No, my good friend, read history and you will seo that the whito race mles tho world. In Eu ropo, Asia, Africa and America, wherover he plants his foot ho will conquer. So said tho Prophetin old timo about his children, (Genesis chap. 9, 20-29.) "Japheth-(the father of white men) shall dweVin tho tents of Shem, (that is COnqAl him,) and Harr, (the black nice cusa ci rom mm) shall bo his servant."
