Dont)Ifni Story-Bud Policy.
According to the Now York Herald,
a gentleman from Alabama, now in
Washington city, states that great
numbers of the more respectable
people in Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana, and, ho doubts not, in the
othor Southern States, have long had
under consideration, and have made
preparations for moving, some into
Californio, some to the Northern
States, and others to the Territories,
in the event of General Grant's elec?
tion. He says that they are fully
convinced that if the Republicans are
successful, it will be utterly impossi?
ble for them to live in tho States
where they now reside. We have
heard intimations before of a similar
purpose entertained in another im?
portant State of the South; but it is
not at all likely that such nn idea is
generally entertained. There has
been already a considerable emigra?
tion from some Southern localities,
where tho white population is small
and defenceless, to tho Northern tier
of Southern States, and even to the
North and West. Tho selling ont of
property and removal to a great dis?
tance, ore not often accomplished, in
the best of times, without sacrifice;
but, at tho present prices of property
in tho South, to Bell ont is very near
to giving away. When to this is
added tho surrender of old associa?
tions, and the passing of tho remain?
der of life in exile from the scenes
and friends of early years, it must be
coufessed that it may well bo a ques?
tion with Southam land-owners
whether it is not "better to bear the
ills they have, thau to fly to others
that they know uot of," by emigra?
tion, especially to a distant region
like California, where, as appears
from a late number of the leading
periodical of that Shite, the profes?
sions are all over-crowded, and there
is no prospect of any man improving
his condition, unless he either has
capital, or, by his labor in mechanical
and agricultural employments, can
add to the productivo wealth of tho
State. Where there is either capital
or labor, if the object is to escape
apprehended evils peculiar to the
Southern States, emigrants will find
nil in Maryland that thoy can gain by
roruoval elsewhere. Whilst, as the
Baltimore Sun says, no ono can
rofnse to sympathize with the appre?
hensions which are said to bo prompt?
ing Borne persons in tho South to
think of emigration, it is probable
that those w*ho will most profit by
suck a movement will bo the shrewd
and unscrupulous adventurers whoso
vocation it has become to speculate
npon the miseries and necessities of
the Sonthern people. Too much
caution cannot be exercised in snob
a step as this, so comparatively easy,
perhaps, to take, but so difficult, if
not impossible, to retrace.
That the Southern States, the gar?
den spot of this country, will be per?
manently abandoned by the white
rece, especially in view of the ever
widening river of emigration from
tho old world, is too improbable an
idea to bo seriously disonssod. If
the present proprietors relinquish it,
emigrants from other parts of this
country and from Europe will take
their place?. In any event, the
South is yet to become more pros
perons, populous and powerful than
ever. It is now in a transition state,
and ono which requires to be handled
with groat caution and cirou inspec?
tion, but, at tho same time, with
nervo n.nri ?elf-pcseseic?:. Tho skill
fnl and energotio muriner keeps.Iiis
eye upon the clouds that threaten
storm, bnt does not shorten sail or
obange his course till tho moment
when he becomes convinced that
safety demanda it. It seems to be too
early now for proprietors in the
South to sacrifice great interests-to
leave the ship and go out in the
small boats upon an uncertain ocean.
What if the storm they dread never
comes at all, or tho ship outrides it,
whilst they are tossed about in their
frail vessels and sink at last in un?
known seas?

Address of the Central Democratic
Club to the Democratic Party ol
SoutH Carolina.
FELLOW-CITIZENS: Tho election for
Presidout and vice-President of the
United States' is now closo at hand.
Tho great principles involved in the
contest; tho mngnitudo of tho irjfer
ests at stake, and thc influenco which
this Stnto may hnvo ou tho result,
make this a proper occasion to Inj
before you a brief address.
Tho tendency and purpose of the
radical party; ns manifested iu words
and acts, are tho absorption of thc
liberty of tho individual; tho do
struction of States; tho subversion ol
tho Constitution, and tho orectior
upon the ruins of individual auci
public liberty, a grand, grinding,
consolidated despotism. Already il
hos made rapid strides in that direc
tion. Little, now, is loft for it to d<
but to fuse into one mass, aud thei
crystalizo into permanent form it:
various acquisitions of usurpet
power. Its capricious acts; it
wanton cruelties; its corrupt prac
tices; its enormous burdens you havi
felt and do know. Against these
and more than these, you aro nov
called upon to contiuuo a resoluti
fight with tho peaceful, thougl
potent, weapon of tho ballot. Tb
Democratic party hero and every
where aro striking with you for th
principles of liberty, and the form
of Government to which we hav
been accustomed, for a written Con
8titution, a Federal Union and
distinct existenco of the States.
Surely, then, tho principles of th
contest are important, and tho intei
est gre.'.t. Arouse, therefore, to th
magnitude of tho emergency, an
spare no efforts for success. Who
the timo for registration shall come
let no man fail to appear, and non
fail to voto. Let each ono remembe
that his individual voto may decid
tho election in bis own District, an
that tho doctoral vote of the Stat
may turn tho scalo in favor of th
Democratic party.
Our people must not despond. n<
relax their efforts, if thorc should 1
failures elsewhere. On tho contri
ry, they will have reason to hope, an
much to stimulate them to increase
energy, for it is yet possible to wii
State' electious are influenced, an
sometimes controlled by local isac
and it bas often happened that thc
go one way, and in a few weeks ther
after, in the same place, tho Pres
dential elections another. This rmi
bo the caso in tho present canvas
and, indeed, we have reason to bo]
so. Recently wo have received r
ports from all parts of tho Stat
which induce the belief that Soul
Carolina, with proper effort, will 1
carried for Seymour and Blair. L
not tho failure to do so bo ascribe
to you.
Tho canvass in which you arc no
engaged, is full of excitement, whit
wiil probably continue and increase
the end. Wo trust, therefore, that
will not bo amiss to drop you a woi
of caution. The criminality of a fei
und perhaps the indiscretion of man
have placed it in tho power of mali
and misrepresentation to injuiv n
and seriously to damage the comm?
canso. Wo urge yon, therefore, n
only to prevent violence, but to a
stain from the appearance of it. V
are dealing with a false and subi
foe-prolilie in inventions and verna
ous in purpose-a foe who fully undi
Rtands tho temporary profit of
nimble lie, which too often acbiev
its end boforo tho truth can evi
buckle on ber armor.
We need not urgo upon you tl
policy and tho duty of treating, wi
great kindness and forboaranoo, tl
colored population of the Sta!
This you have ever dono, and w
continue to do, as long as yon a
permitted. We have no doubt y
will make manifest the untruth of t
malieions charge, that by force y
have compelled their votes or by i
timidation kept them from the pol
Their minds are rapidly opening
the truth that the vagrant white m
from the North, as well as the ron
gado of the South, who live by c
oeiving and plundering them, ai
who httvo been driving them to c
atrnotion, are not true friends, a:
are unworthy of confidence and sn
port. With a fair opportunity th
will return to yon, as their estrene
ment is owing entirely to the fal
teachings and malignant efforts of t
- < .Il.I
Northern emissary.. It cannot be
forgotten that the State voluntarily,
in 1665, invested tba colored popula?
tion with every civil right; and that
ts Dei?omittio party, in Convention
April last, recognized them, under
tho previous action of the State, as
an integral element in the body poli
tic-and expressed. its. willingness,
when in power, to enfranchise them
to the extent whioh the. pnblio weal
ahd their own good might warrant.
The position then taken Dy the Con?
vention, and whioh was announced to
the poople of the State and the coun?
try, is now re-affirmed.
We beg you to remember that the
Democratic party of tho Stato was
not orgnnizod for the purpose merely
of supporting the nominees of the
party, but for higher purposes and
moro enduring ends. It is possible
that our present leaders may bo de?
feated, but our principles will sur?
vive. The liberty of tho individual,
the being and welfaro of States, tho
Constitution of the United States
and a Federal Union under it, are
objects worthy of patience and en?
during efforts. In tho success wo
hope for, onr organization will be
most useful; nnd, in case of defeat,
it will becomo essential. We, there?
fore, desire to impress upon you the
necessity of preserving intact and in
full eucrgy tho admirable organiza?
tions of tho Democratic party of
South Carolina.

DEAR Sm: lu your paper of last
week, yon or one of your corres?
pondents says that Dr. Diake is not
tho originator of the celebrated
PLANTATION BITTERS, and that they
woro manufactured and sold by one
Pedro Martelle, an old Spaniard, in
tho Island of St. Thomas, over forty
years ago, as every old sea captain
can testify. Now, sir, I can certify
to the above as being true, for I have
followed the seo for over forty years, ?
most of the time doing business with
tho West Indies. These samo Bitters,
differently put np and named, were
brought to my notice on my first trip
to the Island of St. Croix, for a cargo
of rum, and for years and years after,
my ship's stores were never without
them. I always supplied my family
and many of my neighbors wira
them, and eau truly say a better
Bitters aud Tonic, is not made in all
the world. Yours truly,
