r:u. stances. Republicans must work a>
if ou one vote depended the salvation of
the Republic. The lukewarm must be
aroused to activity, the doubters must be
convinced by the presentation of facts;
every friend of the country must be enlisted
in the great work of defense. The signs
of rimes indicate a Republican victory,
but our friends must remember that the
result depends upon the work accomplished.
If the work is thorough the triumph
w:il be complete.
Thk Republican party is like a staunch
hip that has been tested by wind and
wave and proven sea-worthy in every respect.
She has met the fiercest tempests
and brought her passengers and freight
through in safety. The question now befoie
the people is, Shall this noble vessel
be laid aside for the old worm-eaten hulk
J>emoeracy, that was condemned years
jgo as unworthy of confidence of patroi sgs
? The people who iutrust their lives
and rrooerty to a craft require something

The best evidence the world can have J
that negroes do not begin political riots |
in this State, is the fact that Beaufort \
County has eight colored to every white
vote and yet we are at peace with all
mankind. Democrats are not even intimidated
into voting the Republican tit ?
k"t and iu many instances they have been
placed in public positions by Republicans.
Ex-Gov. B. F. Perry says the repub
lican party did not free the colored men
but that the Convention of 1865 representing
the slave holders did. Gov. Perry
seems to have forgotten that they weec
compelled by a republican Congress to
ratify the emancipation proclamation and
ihot the democratic legislature of 1865
tried to undo the work by passing the
Black Code.
Every Republican vote must be got
out this fall. No business transaction,
no public or private engagement must be
allowed to interfere with voting. This
mast be'considcred a sacred obligation to

^
Tiik Siniitrr Watchman (Dcm.) struck
bottom fact;; some time ago when it said
the movement to organize the democraticparty
in this State was " mainly confined
j to a few leaders who want office themselves."
We do not understand the inside
workings of the democratic party as
well as the Watchman but we had always
a suspicion that it was lid principles
it is office we are after, " that had
tiscn the ghost of the democratic party iu
this State.
Hampton has traveled from the mountains
to the sea board proclaiming the
good that is to come if the people will
only elect him to the Gubernatorial chair
and that even and exact justice shall be
the portion for every iuan woman and
child in the State. The thirteenth, fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments arc declared
iu fine rhetoric the principles that
will govern his administration.
We fiud at all his meetings armed bands
of men who have lived in peace and security
during eight years of republican
rule, who within the last few months
have discovered that they must organize
for self protection, jeady to insist on
dividing time at Republican meetings
which was granted, and the other half of
the time in which republicans were to
/*a 1? ia In l?an virt m i f R aImipa an/1

threats so violent that republicans
are not allowed to speak at all.
And yet this advocate of " equal and
exact justice' utters no word or condemnation.
Republicans arc slaughtered in
various parts of the State simply because
they are republicans and not one
word of censure or caution to his followers
falls from his lips.
TflK following from a correspondent to

It is (he almost uuiversal expiession of
democratic editors and speakers that the
democratic party in the State is ttundirig
on a peace platform. We should begin
to think there was some t\uth in the assertion
if the spirit manifested by Dr.
Jas. Dewees, at Grahaiinllle, would be
responded to by the other spokesmen of
his party. Let Hampton, Gary, Butler,
Tillman, Hagood, Sims, and Moise, discountenance
armed bauds of men appearing
at public meetings, u coutrary to the
peace and dignity of the State, " and j
the people will have more faith that the I

In " a statement of facts " on intimidation
the the Charleston Kcics and Courier
seems to have overlooked the Edgefield
C. H. republican meeting, which
according to its own report was taken
possession of by six hundred armed and
mounted men who threatened and insulted
the Governor and so threatened
aud insulted republican speakers that
they had to leave the meeting entirely to
democrats. The Ncxcs seems to have
taken up individual quarrels to show that
n ' *r\ intimirl'ifp the
x\cjpudiiuiili5 ulc ki^iu^ w iuvi?juiw.w ? ?
Democrats, when the truth is that the
entire Democratic party of the State is
fully armed and organized and disciplined
to carry the State on the Mississippi
plan?more dependence is placed in the
shot gun than argument.
Social ostracism was praticcd in
Greece almost two thousand years ago,
but in that unenlightened age the people
were more liberal than the democracy of
this state, for it required an assembly
of six thousand persons to enforce such a
decree. After a thousand years the
democracy take it up, and the party of
reform add another of of its principles,
" proscription ', and in some countirs the
44 shot gun policy. "
In ancient times ostracism only lasted
ten years and was afterwards held very
honorable and a mark of great popularity.
It will prove so again to the shame and
disgrace of democracy in Carolina.
Be of Good Cheer.

Political Chit Chat.

?The gentleman who rushes into print
as the defender of Governor Tilden is a
Jv.dge Sin-not. The name is suggestive of
our advice to both of them.
?A Young man called upon Governor
Tilden the other day. and informed him
hat he was taking subscriptions for a
new political club, and that it had been
suggested he should solicit a donation
from his Excellency. The Governor with
a smile that was child-like and blaud,
drew out a well-filled pocket-book, and
handiug over a twenty and a'five said:
"There, that's about right, I guess I*
wish you much success." But as the
recipient carefully put the greenbacks in
his pocket-book, Mr. Tilden broke in:
"Ah, by the way, what name do you
propose giving to your club?" "Well,"
said the other, "we have already named
it the Hayes and Wheeler Club." The
rest can be better imagined than described.?Albany
Evening Journal.
?This is the message a Maine man
sent to his father, the morning after election
: "'Republican majority in my

?A Clergyman once boasted : "I vi .itc
a seruiOD in three hours, and make nothing
of it." He seems to have been
smarter than Tilden. Tildeu takes four i
weeks to make an explanation, and then j
makes nothing of it.
?The Mobile (Ala.) Register (Hem.)
in stating the issues ol the present campaign,
says: "The grave question to be
settled now, at much cost, is, What is to J
he done to get rid of the negro as a j
voter? Sooner or later he will be disi.'auchised
and thru?: out of politics." i
General Johu Tyler, Jr., believes there
; can be no peace for the South, no revival
of or restoration of its prosperity, so long
j as the Democracy dominates it in misrule.
| The only hope for the South is in the
destruction of the Democracy as a party
: and lie would have the old Whigs unite
with the Republicans to accomplish
that end.
?Demas Ban es, editor of the Brookli/n
Aran* (l)em.) saws the charge:
j against Tilden are true. He regards Mr,
( Tildcn's antecedents as worse than those
; of Aaron Burr, or those of any man whc
; ever before sought such high office in thi:

The accounts from Brunswick, Ga.,
are painful indeed. The following extracts
from letters, can give but a vague
idea of the amount of suffering and distress
prevailing there during the past
j three weeks:
A letter from Brunswick, dated September
28, from Dr. J. Dickson Bruns,
says "there were four hundred and mirty
two cases of fever by count yesterday,
and seven deaths in the last twenty four
hours. The epidemic is at its height.
The mortality is increasing. Neither
Mayor Davenport nor Mr. Dexter have
time to acknowledge even remittances.
The express receipts will show and be
published as soon as possible. We have
no local editors now, nor priuters. Mr.
Stacy has gone. We have not enough
white men and reliable negroes to help
do the work of distributing supplies,
&c."

llcv. J.W. Simmons, the Methodist pas

depict the horror uor describe the suffering,
even though he pass through
every day as I have for
the last two weeks. Brunswick has a
population of about 3,000 persons, fully
half of whom are colored. More than
half our white citizens have left many of
them however, too late, as we hear from
them as being sick all over the country.
The few white men remaining have been
taken sick one after another, until there

* Br.UNSON, Oct. 4th.?This section or
; the county has been the theatre of more
| than ordinary political combat during the
i past few days. A joint meeting between
! the republican and democratic parties
i took place at Early Branch on Thursday
, the 23th " ultimo, which was followed by
similar meetings at Brunson and Law1
tonvllle on the following Friday and * at1
urday, respectively. Each party was
represented by a large and well selected
array of speakers who certainly did justice
to the causes they represented.
7 At Early Branch, Messrs. Steinmeyer &
! Stokes, very kindly offered the use of
their mill in which they elected a tenr
i porary stand and seats for the audience.
A fine gatheriug soon assembed of repub"
licans and democrats who vied with each
other in giving the speakers their
undivided attention and preserving the
strictest order. - The republicans were
represented by Messrs. Myers, Miller,
Allen and Bampfield and the democrats
by Messrs. Hutson, Warren, Tillinghast,
and Youmans. And it is certainly
worthy of remark just here that the
democratic speakers were courteous and
respectful throughout which is equally
true of the others. The speakers were
limited to thirty minutes each and the
audience debarred the privilege of as' iug
questions or interupting the speakers in
any manner. There was nothing of
peculiar interest at Early Branch beyon d
the fact that the arguments of the
republican speakers were convincing
and went right home to the hearts of the
people and converted the few colored
democrats that were there?some one or
two Ephriams.
On the following day the joint body of
speakers reached Branson where they
found a very large body of democrats,
mostly from Barnwell County, and but a
few colored people who had remained in
town to behold the curiosities of five or
six armed rifle clubs. A committee from
the Brunsun democratic club, immediately
upon the arrival of the train, waited on
the speakers and requested a part of the
time and the privilege of taking part in
the meeting which was very readily
assented to and the prelim'naries at once
arranged.
About 2J o'clock the few republicans
remaining '*n town about one hundred in
number, assembled under a large oak
just on the edge of the village and in the
course of a few minutes the democrats
about three hundred in number inarched
across the field by companies and took
their stand at the meeting. While it
was true that the leaders desired peac^
and did all they could to preserve it-it
was painfully evident to judge from their
threats and demonstrations that quite a
number of the white men from Barnwell
county were anxious to have a row. However,
there was no overt act of a single
j individual during the day which marre d
! the success of the occasion.
| .Tames W. Moore. Esq., the democratic
county chairman was present and did all
in his power to preserve order and make
the occasion a success. The meeting was
opened by the Hon: N. B. I Myers in a
very pointed and forccible speech?indeed
one of the best of his life and delivered
in his happiest vein. It was very evident
; that the democrats did not relish the
j telling blows of Mr: Myers from the fre1
nnnnnir nf Vioir r?ri*?? " times ud" when
VJUV WV JT V* HIV?1 V??w
lie had only been speaking fifteen
or twenty minutes.
He was followed by Mr. Warren in a
very strong but labored effect in which
he endeavored to preve against all history
and tradition that the republican party
did not abolish slavery. Mr. Warren
{however is a very fair speaker and disposed
to grant his opponents every advantage
he can reasonably claim. He
made the best he could of a bad case as
the lawyer say and retired satisfied of doing
his duty.
He was followed by Mr. Bampfied who
in turn was followed by Mr. Voss a full
fledged colored democrat, who acknowledge
howevei that the principles of the
republican party were the grandest under
the sun. The burden of Mr. Voss'song
was that he was hungry and the demo
crats alone fed him, that he was frieghtened
by the Ellenton rioters and the
democrats only could protect him. I am
a little fearful from that gentleman's language
that he is one of the chronic office
seekers of the republican party. To judge
from his speech though he imagines, himself
in good company and if Voss is
satisfied who has cause to complain ?
Messrs. Miller on the part of the republicans
and Moore on the pan of the
democrats further addressed the meeting
with stirring speeches after which it adjourned
and the speakers wended their
v*Ay Luwaius uihiuutiu* hucic a luccviug
of the same character was held on the
next day. The Barnwell club did not at"
tend the Lawtonville meeting but returned
to their homes.
At. Lawtonville rousing speeches were
made on the republican side by Messrs.
Miller, Reed, Myers and Bampfield and
on the democratic side by Messrs. Warren
, Searcy, Youmans and a colored democrat
by the name of Charles Becket the
burden of whose song was when I was
hungry the democrats fed me.
This man has been fiee his life time yet
to-day doesn't own a single pound of thi8
world's goods not-even his own opinion
and that is why he is a democrat The
democracy is welcome to all such as
- Becket and Yoss I am quite sure.

After the purifying influences of the

upon our trade and intercourse
with the rest of mankind. During an

both in Beaufort and Port Royal. We
hope there will be a speedy removal of
all restrictions that up to thh
time may have been wiseprecautione
against the importation of diseases
that it is now demonstrated, have no
local habitation here and that the
quarantine regulations that have
blocked our commerce and travel temporarily
may now be vacated. There is certainly
no reason for further continuance
of restrictions which to say the least have
subjected us to inconvenience. We hope
that council will promptlv remove all
further discrimination against commerce
and travel and invite ingress of strangers
and others to our salubrious climate.
