The Colored, yote-Oar Tiac Policy.
If any man imagines that tho colored
voto of this 8 tato is to bo cl ivor ted fro in
the radical party; in tho next' ?lection in
thia State, then, in our judgment, , he
?ie?oiveB himself. We regard it ohr duty
-to speak cn nd idly. We intend neither to
doooivo onr friends nor ourselves. We
regard it tho highest policy to look mat?
ters squarely in tho face and then to do
.what ia boat under all the circumstances
-?lPlhe easel " ' W^baye accepted the de?
claration of the press conference as due
to our recognition of accomplished facts,
but not oipopting said declaration to
.have any influence jupon the oolored
votera of the State. In our judgment,
the great masa of the oolored voters will
?voto for the regular nominees of the ra
-.dioal party, in convention assembled.
' -Tho ffoonov Democrats and anti-radical
isis nuderstand this, the better for the
cause of thoao arrayed against the radi?
cal regime of tho ?tate.
Wo have expressed our disposition na
a Democratic journal, to engage in a
, general anti-radical rally. But, it is due
to ourselves to say, that we regard the
?'Citizens' Party" formation as a grand
mistake. Upon the basis of a Democra?
tic platform-~upon the basis of a vitnl
r and progressive Democracy-we believe
that tho opposition to radicalism ought
to be organized. This, it is true, would
apt give us tho State on the general
^ticket, but it could give us Democratic
?representatives from 12, ?3, 14, or 15
Oounties. Falling to carry the entire
State, as we mu?t fail, the next best step
:?s to put in the Legislature a band of
Able, earnest, and devoted Carolinians,
-opposed - to the dominant party. Our
programme, then, is less ambitious than
that of ?'tba Citizens' Party," but it ia
moro nuro. Another point-let a party
oallod "tho Citizens' Party" nominate a
?"Conservativo Republican," and, in onr
Judgment, a stronger radioal vote will be
arrayed against him than could be
against a bold, open and avowed Demo?
crat. These are our views. It may be
that a majority of our political friends
think otherwise. But we desire to be
{understood. In onr deliberate judg?
ment, to sink the Democratic organiza?
tion in this State into a ' 'Citizens' Party, '
is to dull the edge of the opposition tc
.radicalism and to impair the cause of thc
?tate and the cause of the country. Bo!
perhaps we shall bo over-ruled. Whei
the convention of the anti-radicalists o:
- the State shall speak, it may be our dutj
to defer-at-least, to ba silent-if nc
more. lu tho meantime, the PHCENIJ
will not flaunt its Democracy offensively
in every anti-radioalist's face, but let il
be known, that as yet, we see no reason
to give : up that cause which so man}
good and trne men in the North, South,
JSast and West, yet deem it their dutj
?to stand by. Bot there is yet anotbei
and very important point that we desire
to make. We wish to say to our friendf
thal thia Stale is to be redeemed and regene
rated neither by Democracy nor any other
parly. Politically, the State must bc
-radioal for several years to come. Thc
oolored voters will vote the radioal ticket
?of because they cannot stand the Democra
tic party, but because they like and love
.and swear by the radical party. Now,
our proposition is to stop seeking negrc
votes. "Ephraim is joined to his idols
let him alone." The leaders of ?he ne
groes have said: "To your tents, oh Is
rae?l" and "Israel" has obeyed. Yes-wi
repeat it-stop trying to win negroes anc
try the game of winning white immi
grants. Let no men think nod feel ant
act as ir he held that the destinies o
these Southern States are dependen
upon the votes of tho colored man. Lo
'him vote os he will and, in the mean
timo, let the men of tho South-fairly,
justly, faithfully, manfully work ou
their own salvation. In an industria
sense, it is trae
**Who would ho freo, themselves must strilti
.tho blow."
.Letour people realize their necessities
Let us understand that these necessitiei
are in the Hue of labor and industria
development. Let us organizo io everj
Southern State, bureaus of immigra
tion. By somo practical means, give ni
impetus to immigration and tho stroan
.-will flow on. Why should it not? Afri
can slavery has been removed, and wi
liavo greater attractions ia productions
tn climate and ia soil, thaa the North
We must labor now not for victories ii
the forum, not for laurels of logic am
. rhetoric, not for merely mental achieve
mon?s, but for population and wealtl
and enterprise.
What, then, is our conclusion? It i
.this: Let political fidelity and sclf-respec
be maintained; but, abovo all, lot it b
understood and felt in every libro of on
being, that thc best politics-the moa
reliable politics-for tho State nod th
South is, the ampleel material developmen

This ooaveution will assemble iu
Charleston on the 3d May next. We
learn that it promises to be an imposing
body. AS A general rule, Conventions ac?
complish very little. It is obvious, how?
ever, that they are capable of much good.
The convention to which we are re?
ferring will oonsider the important
questions of Li noa and IMMIGRATION.
It originated with the South Oarolina
Institute, at the instance of that devoted
Oarolinianand earnest citizen of Charles?
ton, the President of the Institute, Mr.
Wm. M. Lawton. At this time, when
material development is the great neces?
sity of the Sooth, we invest an industrial
convention like this with unusual im?
portance. It can do far more service
than any purely political convention.
Let practical measures be initiated, and
tho best results must flow from the Moy
convention.
The French crisis continues, and there
is growing disquiet in the public miud.
The trouble nppears to arise from the
jealousy, or rather the distrust, of a part
of the ministry and Corps L?gislatif of
tho Emperor in hin ,new role of liberal
reformer. His Mojesty proposes to sub?
mit questions of reform directly to the
vote of the people, without tho interven?
tion either of the ministry or the Cham?
ber. To this the members of the Cabi?
net who, like Count Daru and M. Buffet,
are not personal partisans of the Em?
peror, object, while at the same time, the
Corps L?gislatif is stickling for its dig?
nity and fancied prerogatives. M. Buf?
fet and Count Daru have resigned, sc
far, and others are to follow. The belie!
gains ground in Paris that Napoleon it
acting under the influence of his old ab
solutist premier, M. Bouher. There wat
a stormy time in the Corps L?gislatif.
Paris is quiet, but au unpleasant feature
of the calm is the strike of the workmer
of tho immense manufactory of M. Gail
in the city. The police aro taking pre
cautions against disorder, and tho Em
peror is holding reviews pf troops in tin
Place du Carousal. He intends to keej
on the best side of his truest friends.

A PBOGRESSIVE STEAMSHIP LINE.-Tb
most noticeable despatch iu tbe handlinj
of steamship cargoes may be seen by i
visit to Union Wharves on the arrival o
either tho "South Carolina" or "Ten
ncsseo," of tho new and popular iroi
line "North and East." Tbeso flu
steamships bring large cargoes for ou
city dealers, and also for Columbia, Aa
gusta and the great South-weft, ns far a
the Mississippi River; and for this latte
class of freight, the time consumed ii
unloading is of great consequence. Tim
is certainly an essential element of sue
cess in freighting operations, and wo yes
terday witnessed, for the first time, tw<
dozen muscular stevedores, armed witl
capacious hand-trucks, rushing merchan
dizc from the steamship "South Caro
lilia" to tho wharf, literally "on the dou
ble-qnick." Activo employees of th
lino assorted tho huge piles to the differ
ent parts of tho wharf, where severe
young mon were busy ticketing lon,
Hues of drays, n never ending processio
of vehicles goiug and returning wit
clock-liko regularity. Tho now featur
of theso steamers is in doing away wit
thc traditional hoisting horse. Mor
than half the cargo is brought botwee
deck and through largo ports in the side
of the vessel, "fore" and "aft," o:
gangway planks, tho goods arc trucke
out to tho drays. A miuiaturo steam cr.
gine in a coruer, out of tho way, dot
tho work of six horses in lifting seven
tons of lower hold cargo at ono time
With the sight of theso labor-saving ai
pliauces in full operation, wo were nc

dray loads of railroad freight were d<
livered nt tho depots by 4 o'clock yestei

"600 pounds of freight left at Char?

Chester, and 3,000 for Rock Hill. This
freight should have left Charlotte to?
day."
The attention of the Charlotte, Co?

WUAT IT IS NOT AND WHAT IT IS_These
truths aro eolf-evident. Pu ALON'S VITALIA OU
SALVATION FOR THE HAIR ia neither sticky like
molasses, nor muddy liko a gutter-puddle. It
ia, on the contrary, a genial fluid, clear,
limpid, aromatic, harmless, and will restore to
gray hair whiskers, beards and moustaches,
their original color as certainly aa Bun-abino
melts the snow. Ap 10 f3

tioned to look out for the spurious artiolea put

spectable druggists, and seo that it is put up
in square packages, and baa the signatures of
A. Q. simmons and J. II. Zelin Sc Co., on ita aide;

FOUNTAIN OF HEALTH AND BEAUTY.-Purify
the "blood" and enrich the stream upon which
lifo ebbs and Hows. Use HEINITSU'S QUEEN'S
DELIGHT. It enriches tho blood when thin
and watery. Too many neglect tho condition
of tho blond, particularly among females.
Poverty of blood is a common disease. The
chief aymptomu aro "paleness," feeble pulse,
loss of appetite, indigestion, flatulence ana
irregularity of tho bowels; low spirits, head?
ache, nervousness, debility, with languor.
Theso points aro always found to bo connected
with poor blood. The "QUEEN'S DELIOUT" ia
a iifo-exhilarating elixir, and should bo used
at thia season. Get a bottle. For salo by

"This medicine is rapidly gaining confi?
dence of tho people, and thu numerous testi?
mon?ala of ita virtues, given by practitioners of

reliable remedy for IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD,

clo from Prof. R. 8. Newton, M. D., President
of the E Modi-Collogo, city of Now York, that

ties, and gives a special recommendation of
