("Thc Hight to Vote"--A Negro Soliloquy. It WAS ft glorious thing, they said This freedom that thoy talkod abont ?This right to como and go. without Question, or beek, or bart instead Of slavish cringing-as tuey said. Jm euro I havo not found it so I'd rather hear my master say "We cannot sparo you. Tom, to-day; lour work counts doubla, as you know." Ah, well-I own I like it so! Yes, I am free to straggle Weat, Or idlo Northward, if I choose; Who marks how many days I lose? Who praises when I do my best? Who cares to ohide, aye-East or Weat? You talk of "suflrage"-did the vote I cast on Monday at the polls, Liko any white man-mend the holes Worn in my old plantation ooat? I've got tho suffering, and the voto. My wife Jcecps crooning in my oar; My ragged wild ones at my heels, Eave of tho merry cotton fields, And of the happy husking's cheer And moan and murmuring AU my ear. O. for one honr of the old day al When all the "quarters," carno at night, To gossip in onr oabln bright, And dance around tho pine-knots'blaze; We'll never, never know suoh days! Then, all tho cost and all the caro We left wit? *?i our master's hand, Without a wiall to understand Behoving tl J division fair Th' exemption ours, and his-thc caro. No Christmas visions of brave clothes And dainties from "the house" arise, To t mint my children's gaping eyes, As shivering at the coming snows, .They cower beneath their tattered clothes. Instead-I have your leave, to vote! "Why, BirsI my. imps who'vo learned to write "Their nameless names in black and white, Lack food and fire and shoe and coat. .Give these-and ire??your right to vote! [Nexo York Express. THE SOUTH WANTS ABE HEB SONS. The following truthful words are taken from the Banner of the South, edited by Father Ryan, and printed in AG gu stn. Read it, all ye who con? template leaving your homes, and weigh every word well. It speaks volumes, and should reach the heart of every true Southron who loves his country: "It has been stated that John C. Breckinridge intends to return to this country at an early day. Under the recent amnesty proclamation of President Johnson, and even under the statute laws of the United States, no indictment for treason can now be had against' those who participated in the revolution for Confederate in? dependence. The time for filing such an indictment has passed, by limitation of the law, and even if it had not, the President's pardon applies efficaciously to all who were concerned in that revolution, except? ing only such as are now under in? dictment or conviction. "Mr. Breokinridge, then, and Mr. Benjaman, and all the other exiles who expatriated themselves at the close of the war, can now return in safety to the Union. And they should do so. The South wants them. She wants all her sons now; and she appeals to those who are here to stay with her, and to those who are absent to como back. A great struggle is at hand, in whioh her rights and her liberties are involved and not only her's, but the entire nation's. She calls upon all, then, who love her, to come to the rescue, and join hearts and hands with those true men of the North who are bat? tling for the Constitution and true Republican government. Upon their success depends the preserva? tion of the American Union, on the principles upon which it was found? ed; and every vote for those princi? ples is a step to the achievement of that success. Come home, theo, ye absent sons of the South, and give your aid and your work to the cause -of your native land." Alexandre Dumas has discovered new solution for the immense powers of attraction he has long possessed. The veteran romancist does not at? tribute hts popularity to his talent, but to the amount of magnetic fluid with whioh he is endowed. He has written a letter about his sympathetic reception by the distinguished people of Havre, in whioh he says: "I am more touohed than surprised by this . sympathy whioh comes to me volun? tarily, and gives me special impor . tance in my own estimation, inas? much as it neither proceeds from what I have written, or ever shall ?write, but simply from the magnetic reciprocity whioh I feel and whioh I inspire. The occult and mysterious phase of this sentiment, makes it very difficult for me adequately to ex? press the gratitude with which it in? spires me. However this may be, Havre is the city wherein I have always experienced and given out the greatest amount of this tender and fraternal affection." FIGHTING BY MEASURE.-The usual place of resort for Dublin duellists was called the Fifteen Acres. An attorney of that city, in penning a challenge, thought most likely he was drawing a lease, and invited his antagonist to meet him at "the place called Fifteen Acres-*be the same more or less.'" A mulatto woman, ly the name of Banord, living in La Crosse, Wis., Save birth, lost week, to three chil? ien-two of whioh are white and one as black as a coal.

By order of tho City Council. j. s. MCMAHON, July 23 6_City Clerk. A Great Spring and Summer INVIGORATOR AND RESTORER. "VTOW IS THE TIME TO CLEANSE OUT IX those PERILOUS 8POTS, Pimples, corrupt sores, which POLLUTE the LIFE of tho BLOOD, and render your body a blithesome thing. They are the precur? sors of a diseased blood, and will assume a much more formidable shape if allowed to go on unchecked. Tho QUEEN'S DE? LIGHT, the only real blood purifier that has ever been invented, as thousands will to-day attest, is offered to the afflicted as a positive remedy for all diseases flowing from a vitiated condition of the system. THE LIFE OF THE FLESH IS PURE BLOOD. Upon this theory alono tho in? ventor of the Queen's Delight establishes tho great hygienic law, WITHOUT PURE BLOOD NO FLESH IS FREE FROM DIS? EASE. The Pale and Shrunken Forms. Yellow Faces. Weak Stomachs, Diseased Livers. Crippled Rheumatics, Nervous 1 Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Victims of Headache, so common in this country, ia [ owing entirely to the humors of the blood. Very many other diseases may bo traced to bad blood, Scrofula or King's Evil, Erysi? pelas, Exauthema or Elevuro, a rash or eruption on females; Blotches, Tetter, Goitre or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy? philitic Sores, Strumous Ulcers, Ac. These cannot bo cured without purifying the blood. Now as to the remedy. There is no other blood purifier that will accom? plish Buch posit ive and extraordinary cures as Heinitsn's Queen's Delight. You may take a barrel of extract Sarsaparilla, and Bt ill you will not be cured; and, as a proof of it, look around and yon will observo the country, throughout its length and breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsa Eari Has, extracts and syrups, claiming to o blood purifiers, and yet we BOO to-day moro evidence of imparity of tho blood than ever. Why is tine? Simply because these extracts and Sarsaparillas are worth? less medicines. The Queen's Delight is a new compound, and ia now tho great blood medicine; sanc? tioned by the profession, patronized by the highest dignitaries of the land, endorsed by everybody. In the brief period of twelve months, ovor 3,000 cases nave been treated BO sue- i ceasfully as to entitle it to be the wonder | of the age. For debility, prostration, nervousness, mental depression, impaired digestion, loss of appetite, reatlcsneas, want of vital force. Low spirits; it is more invigorat? ing and strengthening than all the com ?>onnda of bark or bitters. As a liver nvigorator, it ia of inestimable value. As ] a stimulant, it is safer and surer than all ! the rum and whiskey tonics of the day, and if you value your life and health a flin's fee, avoid these quickening stimn ants to the grave and use the Queen's Delight. Ask xor Heinitsh's Queen's De? light. This is not the Extract of Stellin gia or Queen's Delight, nor is*it a Com? pound Sv rup of Queen's Delight, or Sarsa? parilla and Quean's Delight, bat simply iieinitsh's Queen's Delight is the trade mark. Ask for this if you want to be cured, and see that the name of E. H. Heinitah is on the wrapper. Prepared only b v E. H. Heinitsh. Wholesale agents, FISHER lc HEINITSH, April >8 j_Columbia, 8. C.

THE PLATFORM OF THE Democratic National Convention. The D?mocratie party, in National Con? vention assembled, reposing its trust in tho intelligence, patriotism and discrimi? nating justice of tho people-standing upon the Constitution BB the foundation and limitation of the powers of thc Go? vernment, and the guarantee of the Uber j ties of the citizen, and recognizing the questions of slavery and secession as having been settled, for all time to como, by the war, or tho voluntary action of tho Southern States, in Constitutional Con? ventions assembled, and never to be re? newed or re-agitated, do, with tho return of peace, demand: 1st. Immediate restoration of all the States to their rights in the Union, un dor the Constitution, and of civil government to the Amerioan people. 2d. Amnesty for all past political offences, and the regulation of the elective franchise in tho States by their citizens. 3d. Payment of tho public debt of the United States as rapidly au practicable; all moneys drawn from tho people by tax? ation, except so mnch as is requisito for tho necessities of tho Government, econo? mically administered, boing honestly ap? plied to such payment; and, where* the obligations of the Government do net expressly state upon their face, or the law under which they wero issued docs not provide that they shall bo paid in coin, they ought, in right and in justice, be paid in the lawful money of the United (Hales. 4th. Equal taxation of every species of property, according to its real valuo, in? cluding Government bonds and other pub? lic securities. 5th. One currency for the Government and tho people, the laborer and the office? holder, the pensioner and the soldier, the producer and the bond-holder. ?? 6th. Economy in the administration of the Government; the reduction of the standing army and navy; tho abolition of the Freedmen's Bureau, and all political instrumentalities designed to secure negro supremacy; simplification of the system and discontinuance of inquisitori? al modes of assessing and collecting inter? nal rovenne, so that the burden of taxa? tion may bo equalized and loosened, the credit of tho Government and the curren? cy made good; the repeal of all enact? ments for enrolling the State militia into national forces in time of peace; and a tariff for revenue upon foreign imports, and such equal taxation, under the inter? nal revenue lawn, as will afford incidental protection to domestic manufactures, and as will, without impairing the revenue, impose tho leaet burden upon and best promote and encourigo tho great indus? trial interests of the country. 7th. Reform of abuses in thc administra? tion, tho expulsion of corrupt men from ellice, tho abrogation of useless offices, the restoration of rightful authority to and tho independence of tho executive and judiciary departments of the Govern? ment, the subordination of the military to the civil power, to the end that thc usurpations of Congress and the despot? ism of tho sword may cease. 8tb. Equal rights and protection for naturalized and native-born citizens, at home and abroad; tho assertion of Ameri? can nationality which shall command the respect of foreign po (vers, and furnish an example and encouragement to people struggling for national integrity, consti? tutional liberty and individual rights; ami tho maintenance of the rights ol natural? ized citizens against the absoluto doctrine of immutable allegiance and the claims ol foreign powers to punish them for all?g?e crimo committed beyond their jurisdic? tion. In demanding these measures and re? forms, we arraign tho raelical party for itt disregard of right, and tho unparalleled oppression and tyranny which have mark cu its career. After the most solemn ane unanimous plcdgo of both Houses of Con cress to prosecute the war exclusively foi the maintenance of the Government ane the preservation of tho Union, under tin Constitution, it has repeatedly violate< that most sacred pledge, under whicl alone was rallied that noble voluntcc army, which carried our flag to victory. Instead of restoring tho Union, it has so far as is in its power, dissolved it, au< subjected ten States, in times of profoum peace,1 to military despotism and negr supremacy. It has nullified there tho right of tria by jury; it has abolished tho habeas coi pus, that moat sacred writ of liberty; i has overthrown the freedom of speech an tho* press; it has substituted arbitrar seizures and arrests, and military trial and secret star-chamber inquisitions fe the constitutional tribunals; it has dian garded, in time of peace, the right of tb people to be free from searches and sei; ure?; it has entered the post andtelegrap offices, and even the private rooms of it dividual*, and seized their private papei and letters, without any specific charge e notice of affidavit, as required by the o j ganic law; it has converted the America capitol into a bastile; it sas established system of spies and official espionage 1 which no constitutional monarchy of El rope would now dare to resort; it has abi Hs hod the right of appeal on importai constitutional qnoBtions to the snpren judicial tribunals, and threatens to cu tail or destroy its original jurisdlotio: which is irrevocably vested by the Const tntion, while the learned Chief Justi. has been subjected to tho most atrooioi calumnies, merely bocauae ho wonld n prostitute his high office to the support the false and partizan charges prefern against the President. Its corruption ai extravagance have exceeded anythii known in history, and by ita frauds ai monopolies it has nearly doubled tho bu den of thc debt created by the war. It h stripped the PreBidont of hie const itntio al power of appointment ef^n of his o* Cabinet. Under its repeated assaults, tl pillars of the Government are rocking < their base, and should it succeed in N vember next, and inaugurate its Presider, we will meet, as a subjected and conquer peoplo, amid tho ruins of liberty and t scattered fragments of the Constitutio and wo do declare and resolve that, cv since tho peoplo of tho United Stat threw off all tnfneotlon to tho Briti crown, tho privilege and trait of pnffra have belonged to tho several States, a have been granted, regulated anel cc trolled exclusively by tho political pow of each State respectively, and that a attempt by Congress, on any protest win evor, to deprivo any State iff this right, to interfere with its exercise, is a flagra usurpation of power which can find warrant in tho Constitution; and, if Bai tioned by the peoplo, will subvert our foi of Government, and can only enel ii singlo centralized and consolidated C v. ruinent. in which the separate exister of tho States will bo entirely absorbed, a au unqualified despotism be establish in placo of a Federal Union of co-oqi sta'.? s; and that we regard I ho roconstri tion Acts (so-called) of Congress as su are usurpations, and unconstitutional, volutionary, and- void; that our soldi and sailors, who carried the flag of ( country to victory against a most galil and determined foe, roost ever be gra lolly remembered, and all the gnaraub given in their favor mast be faithfully car? ried into execution. That tho pnblio lands Bhonld bo distri? buted as widely as possible among the people, and should he disposed of either under the pre-emption of homestead lands, and sold in reasonable quantities, and to none but actual occupants, at the mini? mum prico established by tho Government. When grants of the publio lands may be allowed, necessary for the encouragement of important pnblio improvements, the proceeds of the sale of such lands, and not tho lands themselves, should bo so ap? plied. That tho President of the United States, Andrew Johnson, in exercising tho power of his high offico in resisting the aggres? sions of Congress upon tho constitutional rights of tho States and tho people, is en? titled to tho gratitude of the whole Ameri can people, and in behalf of the Democra? tic party, we tender him our thanks for bis patriotic efforts in that regard. Upon this platform, tho Democratic party appeal to u very patriot, including all the conservative element and all who de? sire to support the Constitution and re? store the Union, forgetting all past differ? ences of opinion, to nnito with ns in the present groat struggle for the liberties of tho people; and that to all such, to what? ever party they may have heretofore be? longed, wo extend tho right hand of fel? lowship, and hail all such co-operating with us as friends and brethren.
