Fred. Douglass, in bis paper, the
Motional Era, revives the idea of oolo*
uming the black people in some terri?
tory apart to the easel vcb. This was a
anatter which weighed heavily on the
?Mnd^Mn Lincola. He was firmly
?pov&Be? that it was the only method
t?jr> Which yhe raoe' problem whioh has
fcecw preoipitated " on the Amerioan
B?opl? could bo satisfactorily solved.
The immense addition wuloh ? the
''blacks exercising the suffrage have

publican party, Caused tbo views oi
. Lincoln to be forgotten and negleoted.

?eafty and unprincipled men. Gonsi
j*exipg' the extremities to whioh they
.*s? reduced in some localities, Doug
bes -advises -< his brother-freedmen in
HxiB wise:
~-*1*eave those States in whioh yon
aro in the minority and the subjects
of prejudice and outrage, and remove
to the States where you will be in the
(majority, and thus protect yourself
against the indignities to whioh you
are now exposed in many of the
. States." i".
He goes on to point ont Sooth Caro?
lina, Florida, Mississippi and Loa.' i
aaa, as eligible States for the reaidenoe
of .negroes, where they may protect
tbcauBelvea against the "indignities"
spoken of. He thus oonoodes that
separation is necessary and will be of
' benefit to the blaoks. He designates
the localities where this experiment
saay be tried. He. wishes it nnder
-2*eod, of course, that the whites in
-these States will leave or be competed
v.to leave 'them. If it should not be
.practicable to make an Afrioan reserva
fiaa in them, other localities can be
^selected, either in this country or by
?porchuso of territory abroad. The
j*dviou is good, and Donglaes shows
Juaiself wise in wishing lo get his peo
j?le away from the troubles into whioh
tbey are continually led by Radical
white leaders. They will be wise, if
they accept his views, and nse what
strength they have in time to indnoe
fta Government to purchase for them,
?ext has done for the Indians, a settle?
ment whore they may be happy after
their own fashion. Thoro they will
luwe no civil rights questions to agi?
tate them; there they will have no
agonieB to endure, becauso they see
the white men enjoy higher privileges
and greater honors than themselves.
Bosh I ,
?STohn .T, Patterson bus en me down to
South Carolina, from his Pennsylvania
bome, to take his usual part in elec?
tions. He has entered the field, with
bis well-known colors flying in favor of
Chamberlain for Governor, whioh
jBieans tho re-validation of the conver?
sion bonds and the awakening of tho
Blue Ridge sorip from its long sleep.
Ia Beanfort, a few days ago, he made
-? opeech of an incendiary charaoter to
Ahe' colored voters, intended to inflame
?beir passions and drive them head?
long, tipon ruin. He pretends to quote
fi*rissl^eht Grant as saying that "United
States' tr'oopB would not be spared,
?rhea riacessary, to suppress Kn Klux
jxad rifle qinbs in this State." He pre
S'joosly Impressed npon bis dusky
iiearers' that liflo olobs meant Ku

V- > ? ' ?' ' '-!; ;*4'- ;' ? ?'; ' *' ? ? ?
okQQee to fori? ji?e oiabs; noj does it
overoomo the intrinsic unlikelihood
that President Grant would ose any
Baoh language an be attributes to him
oonoaroing their suppression by United
States/troops. President Grant would
not staltify birnaelf by any feu|)h indis?
cretion. \Ho fa" a man. - not prone to
indulge in gab of this sort. He is no?
toriously guarded in his expressions.
When he does apeak npon such sub?
jects, it is * to persons in whom he has
oon.fl3e.nc9, and he measures his words,
with care. We know what he thinks
of things here and of the actors in the
prolonged agony of South Carolina's
ruin. He wns frank in saying to Se?
nator Robertson that he did not sup
| port the South Carolina tbisvss in
! preying upon tho vitals of the State.
He preferred that it should paes into
the hands of Democrats, rather than
continue in those which plundered it
continually. That is the message of
President Grant to South Carolina,
whioh wo honor him for sending, and
upon which we intend to act. We re?
fuse to credit any other which passes
through the filth of conversion bond
and Blue Ridge scrip rings. And now,
colored people, you had better not,
any more than we do, credit messages
of donbtful authenticity, whioh ore
only intended to urge you on to vio?
lence and involve you in difficulties.
Be sensible for .once, and give Patter?
son and his bond and railroad schemes
a wide berth.
In a renewed elaboration of its fa?
vorite theme, "The Spider and the
Fly," the Union-Herald, of yesterday,
quotes as an exhibition of profound
hate on our part "to all that savors of
Republicanism," a passage from an
artiole of oura published on Sunday.
The U, H. gives it soissors and bricks,
and an immense profusion of italios.
But the foroe of the thing in the bela?
bored passage is tho coinage of a Radi?
cal brain and the handiwork of a Ra?
dical hand. A writer of this city, a
Radical of Radioals, recently gave his
views, in a correspondence on the situ?
ation in South Carolina, to the New
York Herald. Some of them struck
our fancy very much. He said, very
sensibly, that from the plainest indica?
tions, it is only a question of time
when the Conservatives of South Ca?
rolina will again assume control of the
State Government. Their organiza?
tions, extending throughout the entire
State, form a power whioh "will shake
the rotton Republican structure to its
very foundation, and perhaps annihi?
late it." Of oourse, thiB was just suited
to our mind. But, mind you, reader,
it is not our language, except by adop?
tion. It is the Radical correspond?
ent's, and is the provocation to the
sapient comments of the U. H. opon
"the prejudices, hates and ruvonges of
the pro-slavery negro-haters." It's
fanny, very, and not over logical. For
onr part, we see something worse than
the nigger in this particular wood?
pile. "The rotten Republican struc?
ture," what is it? The negro iH there,
it's true, but as a more tool?more to
be pitied than hated. We owe him no
revenge. We have not half tho preju?
dices towards him whioh the vile car?
pet-baggers have. At the same time,
we ereot no temples in whioh to wor?
ship him. We bow not down before
the ebony idol. We know exnotly
what ho is, what he is entitled to and
what not. But we must not become
serious. We enjoy tho fun of this en?
counter in the dark botweon Radical
writers, one of whom, in a lucid mo?
ment, has peaohed and let out a little
truth about tho rotten Radical "struc?
ture" and its impending doom. For
this, t'pther fellow dies at his throat.

Cam den, S. 0., August 21, 1674.
The Washington Board of Health
have been analyzing the ten sold by
the grocers, and found it adulterated
with much coloring matter.
We said, some days ago, that the
cause of the determioed and sleep)ees
opposition . which had been waged
again et .Moses was that ho was tho
representative aud embodiment of the
snritj conduct and purposes of his
miserable party; that the same v'gi
lance whioh had pursued and over?
thrown him would pursue, expose and
overthrow any man of the same crew
who Hought his place and who repre?
sented the same vicious faction. Our
Radical contemporary of this oify pre?
tends to consider this as abandonment
of "a non-partisan opposition to bad
government." But, in sayiug this, it
conveniently overlooks tho gronnd
upon whioh we placed our desire to
kill and got its party (which at one
time produced Moses and now puts
forward Chamberlain) out of the way.
It was stated to be "in order that tbey
(we) may secnro belter government
instead of the one it gives, and restore
onoe more to the administration of
affairs honesty and fair dealing, and
seoure to the people the fruits of their
industry and the advantages of a bet?
tered oondition." We ore quite ready
to support any men, Republican or
Conservative, whose past record, pre?
sent position and stable character give
promise that they sincerely aim at
such objects as these. We have men?
tioned more than once the names of
men known to be Republicans whom
we would be willing to trust >n this
work. But such men aro not repre?
sentative men, as Moses and Chamber?
lain are, of a wretched conglomeration
of office-holders, office-seekers, dirty
tools and ravonons sharks?felicitously
termed by Mr. Piko the picked villains
of the community, the highwaymen of
the State, the professional legislative
robbers, the men who have studied
and practiced the art of legalized theft.
Therefore, they cannot get any con?
sideration at all in this "party," and,
of course, we are debarred tho plea?
sure of supporting them.
Mr. Chamberlain will find the fol?
lowing, from the Now York 2'imes, of
the 23d instant, rather cold oomfort.
The prospect does not seem good for
him to receive the endorsement of the
National Administration. lie may
well ask to bo delivered from h>s
friends, if this and.previous unfavora?
ble comments of the Administration
press upon him are to be received as
specimens of their favor. How is it that
the Union-Herald, which is so fond of
quoting from the Times, is so careful
lately not to reproduce what it Bays of
its candidate, for Governor:
"Ex-Attorney-Ganernl Chamberlain,
of South Carolina, being now 'in tho
hands of his friends,' who desire to
ruuko him tho next Governor of the
State, has published a general denial
of all the charges made against him by
both Republicans uud Contervatives.
He pleads that he was not guilty of
active participation in the Sinking
Fuud und Lund Commission frauds,
did not acquiesce in the agricultural
land scrip swindles, and, fur from
being 'specially responsible' for the
issue of the fraudulent conversion
bonds, had no part or duty in the issue
or execution of a single one of these
bonds. It would appear, from his
own statement, that as a member of
the Financial Board, whose irregulari?
ties are now historical, he, at least,
was innocont of any iutention to steal.
But the publio cannot refrain from in?
quiring why so important an officer ns
the Attorney-lienerai of n Stute couhi
not or did not discover that the men
nssociated with him npon a commis?
sion were thieves. He should have
discovered it, and left their company
at once; but ho remained with them,
and either wittingly or unwittingly
sanctioned their course by his pre?
sence. Mr. Chamberlain asserts that
ho is not anxious 'to share in politic*1
affairs at the present tune,' and indeed,
with the Conservatives firmly resolved
against him, and the negroes commit?
ted to tho interests of Moses, it is not
very likely that ho will bo called to tho
Governor's chair. A candidute whoae
election honest Conservatives and ho?
nest Republicans can mute on is the
man wanted in South Carolina just
now."

Weigh and Measure Evkuythi.so.?
Now that the season for selling has ar?
rived, we would impress upon our
readers tho necessity for accurately
weighing and measuring everything
they soli. There is too much guess?
work dono. Buyers aro haudling pro?
duce every day of tho yo.tr, and tbey
weigh and moasure ull they handle.
They are well posted. The farmers
uro not. When it oomes to an esti?
mate, the farmers are beat. "It is
naught, it is naught, said the buyer,"
And farmers are too easily persuaded
by his portinaoity. Besides, farmers
want tbo money, and do not like to
loBe a sale. So they givo way. There
is no settlor of disputes so stubborn as
a good platform soale. A Fairbank's
soule will savo many words, and much
time and loss. Every barn should be
provided with one, and uothi jg should
be taken out for sale until it is weighed
and plainly marked with its weight.

at Chick's Spriugs on the 28th.
A mooting of the tax payers of the
above, township was. appointed at
Spring Hill- for Satnrday, the 22d of
August. A aonsiderable number of
citizens assembled, with a view to
commence the formation of a Tax
Union for themselves. The School
Commissioner, Albert Haltiwanger,
being present, was called to the chair
temporarily, and he made a few appro?
priate remarks as to the object of these
Unions, and suggested that Senator
Hope bo requested to more fully de?
velop the question of organizing tux
payers' uniouH.
Mr. Hope was invited to the .stand,
and proceeded to give u historical ac?
count of the formation of various pri?
vate unions and counter-unions formed
iu Euglaud after the cessation of
twenty-five yours of war iu which she
was engaged. He dwelt upou their
diversified objects aud their results
umoug themselves aud upou the legis
latiou of their Parliaments. Haviug
done this, ho passed iu review a notice
of the early organizations of the sworn
leagues and of the I. O. U. B.'s of tin??>
State und-their objects; hence a prece?
dent was given to the necessity und
policy of forming Tux Unions, us
growing out tho unwise legislation of
the State and the heavy burthens con?
sequently brought to bear upou the
tax-payers of this State. He defined
specifically the objects of this move
ment, and corrected some of the mis
understandingsand misrepresentutious
of this effort to combine useful in?
fluences. He then submitted for the
notion of the meeting tl j following
preamble and resolutions:
Whereas the period bus arrived
when the financial burtheus upou tho
tax-payers of this State require united
and extra exertions to induce true re?
form and actual retrenchments in the
removal of sinecures, iu curtailing ex?
travagant expenditures, and iu tho?
roughly amending some of the general
Aots, such as the judiciary, the school
law, the tax collecting law, aud the
last conferring Buch extreme appoiut
ing and discharging powers on the
Executive, &o.; therefute,
Resolved, That the tax-pay era of
Broad River Township, without regard
to ruee or party politics, endeavor to
form themselves into a Tax Union,
and that a recorded list of names be
now commenced, and that officers be
immediately chosen by nomination and
acclamation.
This was adopted without dissent.
A nominating committee was appoint?
ed, and reported J. C. Hope for Presi?
dent; Martin Chapin, Vice-President;
Levi Meetze, Esq., Secretary; and
Sanford Eleazer, Treasurer. Adopted,
nem. con. The registiy of members
arose some fifty-five directly. j
Resolved, That a committee of eight
be appointed to procure a registration
of as many tax-payers and voters us
can be obtained to this Union; and
that tho committee be instructed to
supervise, in u peaceable uud lawful
manner, this election precinot, so as to
prevent unlawful aud fraudulent vot?
ing.
The Chair made the uppoiulineulN,
distributing the appointees ut suitable
points in the township.
Resolved, Tbut a committee of five
.suitable members be uppointed to draft,
u constitution for the Union of Broad
Ivivor Township aud submit the same
for adoption at the next meeting of
this Union.
Tue Chair uppoiuted the committee,
and the nexc meetiug is to be held iu
the bull over the store of Sauford
Eleazer, at Spring Hill, on Saturday,
the liilb of September, at 2 F. M.
Resolved, Tuut, as a County Conven?
tion will be held ut Lexiugtou Court
House on tho first Monday of Septem?
ber, a delegation of three be appointed
to represent tlrs Union at said meet?
iug und participate in their counsels
uud actions.

Mr. Chapin offered the following as
a Piipplemeut to the second resolution:
"That the committee of eight be au?

To the Editor of the Union Herald?

dium of your piper, to tho better
uaturc of tho llou. W. B. Nash, uud
usk him if tbo proceedings at Gudsdou
on yesterday reflects uuy houor ou
himself or credit to the Republican
party, aud if he considers that a public
dinner, with a plentiful supply of
whiskey, ou the evening of the nomi?
nation for delegates, is one of the
essentials necessary for such au occa?
sion. Whatever may be the soft rrply
of the honorable Senator, I kuow not;
but this I do kuow?tbut such de?
bauchery as I wituessod last night
brought a flush of shame to my face,
aud a feeling of horror, wheu ? con
stderod that the principal actor in the
drama was of my race, aud that, for the
sake of office, my race was daily be?
coming demoralized. Let me say to
the Senator that four years bus made a
wonderful change iu the opinions of
my race, and that he no longer stands
on that high pedestal?"almost God"?
iu tho oyes of my people which he
occupiod at that time; uud, also, that
no moro will tho deaths of four of my
people bo again allowed without call?
ing tho principal actor or actors to a

Nervous Complications.?Chronio
indigestion, or dyspepsia, sometimes
produces serious disturbances of the
nervous system; but sometimes the
nerves are in the first place disordered,
and are the cause of chronic indiges?
tion. In whichever of these two ways
the disease may have been developed,
it requires for its cure a medioine
which combines the properties of a
nerve tonio and an alterative, and
these essential qualities are most hap?
pily united in the foremost remedy of
the present age, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. To suppose that any con-'
siderable number of onr people are un- *
acquainted with the virtues of this
famous vegetable stomachic and in
vigorant would be an insult to Ameri?
can intelligence. Year after year, for
half a generation, the history of its
successes as a preventive of, and reme?
dy for, all disorders of the stomach,
liver and bowels, and as a speoiflo for
malarious fevers, nervous complaints
and general debility, bae been written
by thoso whose health it has preserved
or re-established, authenticated by
their signatures, and published in the
leading newspapers of the coontry.
The unquestionable proofs of its su?
periority over every other preparation
of its class, have, during that time,
been constantly accumulating, and
have formed an important part of the
current medioal literature of America.
Statesmen, philosophers, poets, di?
vines, judges, lawyers, actors, novel?
ist?iu short, men and woman whjp
have distinguished themselves in all
honorable walks of life, and whose
names are house-hold words wherever
the English tongue is spoken, have
voluntarily come forward and endorsed
this great remedy. These statements,
founded on personal experience, have
naturally had great weight with the
community, and hence it is that Hos?
tetter's Stomach Bitters now stands at
the head of the proprietary medicines
