The tncii of sense all know that Grant it no statesman, and witl bo the mere parly tool Of bis faetion if elected. The nomination of Seymour and Blair has been mat with the greatest enthusiasm from one end ot the Republic to tbo other. Ratification meetings have been bold in almost every county,-town and village in every Stato of thw Union.? Torchlight processions, with banners, flags, transparencies and suitablo and appropriate mottos, hare gree'ed the spectators avery wlioro. The people seem run mad with enthusiasm, and with the hope of'rescuing the Republic from tlio terrific domination of Radical rule. This Presidential election at the North is a question Of liberty or despotism. But at tbo South, my fkiends, it is a question of li/t or dniik / If tbo Radicals succeed, .a war of races in the South ensues inevitably. Frightful will Lc the consequences tor * time, hut the result ie certain. The Inferior tr?;e will be extinguished or driven from tl.e country.? They will go as the Indian has gone when he made war on the white uinn. As deep an interest as the North may fuel in this ennvass, the South should ft el a still deeper. We must tell them plainly that these carpet-baggers and renegade scalawags are no friends of tbolrs. Their only purpose is to get offices and position by means of the colored voters; and if danger comes they will flee the country and leave their poor deluded victims to their la to I Tbo frsedtnan ought to sco and know thai thfelt f..rider ohrncrs and frieuda are their best protectors, and that they can derive no benefit or ndrantago ffobi tho qarpct-hngger* and renegade whites! They bavo Nothing to give them but lies for theft votes. t , We must explaiu to tbe colored people that they were set free bv their owners nod not i.? tho Radicals. That we will protect them in their (ruudotn and in the enjoyment of all their right*, and life, lihertjr and property. When i they are qualified by ilitclligcqlso and proper| ly, we will extend to thutn the right of suffrage likewise. At present they ought to know that [ they ora not qualified to govern the State, and cannot do so. This is n white man's goveminent and must ever remain an. I,?-t thein lie told that we tire mutually dependent on each other. They want our lands to cultivate, and we want their la'-or. INwc gruw rich and prosperous, they mu^ share it. If wo are poor and wretched, they will bo Mill tttoro poor and tuoro wretched. Our Interests are their iutcrcsts. Rut if they will not act with us, but against (is, we aiust discard them. No one ia hound to employ its enemy in his household, of on his lauds, and shoald not do so. If we refuse to employ them, they cannot get employment from their political friends, lor they have none to give. Wo ought to show them that the men rlicy are following are had men, and tell them that it ia a shame they should he voting for rogues and worthless White men Inalend of viitiug for gentlelucn and honest good (licit. If we are taxed heavily, they must pay their proportion of those taxes when thoir crops are gathered. I cannot conclude without paying a compliment to (he ladies who I know will attend your mooting. I bavo ever found thctn mora patriotic and self-sacrificing and more spirited than the gentk-incn. The instincts of wotnnn's heart are always true and patriotic.? After the passage of the Reconstruction Acta, the State seemed panic-stricken and paralysed. There was not a newspaper in South Carolina that cptrosed them, nor a leading man. I commenced my series of lotters against those ...m.uuuo hivocuics, anu ihpj were aonounocd by tlio press. Homo refused to ptfbllsb thorn, whilst other* gave them a place it) thoir col. umns only to criticise and abuae them. One newspaper only?the Kingstree Star?dared endorse them. Hut everywhere, and on nil occasions, tho soft, sweet voice of woman cheered me on, and every mail I received ? letter from ladio* whom I had never known, giving me cneourag?mont. They said if the spirit of the men of Carolina was broken and crushed, that of the ladies was not. And tbey bid me go on in my patriotic labors, and said their prayers were offered up for me and my causa. Their prayers were heard, and now every decent man in Soath Carolina is heartily opposed to these infamous Reconstruction Acta. They will be swept out of existeucc by the election of 8eymnur and Blair, and the whole South will stand redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled. B. F. PBRUY.

A V/feary traveler bad been journeyig all day across ah arid plain under a !Oiching sun, and was almost overcome ith fatiflruo wlipn hI l?n?ili I.J* ??.i o ' ?- -"S"" !(] him into a thick forest, where the Heading bough* of tiiitny A stately ee cast cool shade over (he ground. Winding antid the tre >3 was a gen e flowing rivulet, and on its brink rew crowds of bulrushes villi bending ems, and heads humbly sloopitig It le stream beneath. Here the traveler rested, and as he y on the ground began to admire the eatiliful trees by which he was sural tided, and to wonder which was the lost valuable of all. Tltua thinking, a fell Asleep, and dreamt. Behold in is dream, he saw the trees of the nest pleading before him, each claim ig to be considered the woilhiest. First spoke the cedar, and said. What tree can be compared to me 1 n the lofty heights of Lebanon is my bode, and my top touches the sky.? rider my far spreading houghs, all the easts of the field find shelter. Of me ings build their palace*, princes their lausiohs. All men admire me; al! jets have sung my pi wise. Surely I n the king of the tree*.'' ' No," said the palm ; " with all thy iin boa?d, O Cedar, ihou art' barren, iou ) (eldest not sweet fruit*, which ilisfv the hungry and refresh thb wt?ar. And does not my tall trunk excite ie admiration of men f Useful and jautiful, 1 claim to be king of the efts," Then Spatie the myrtle. " Ye, tall ee*1, lack ?ny fragrant odor. Ye grali only man's bodily wants; but my veet scent delights his soul. When ungrv, he, like the brute, eagerly eats p thy fruits, C palm ! whtin weary, he, ke the beasts of the field, lies down uder thy shade, 0 cedar I But when is eouI Is caliu and sCrene, when con* mplating the gloiies of his Maker, ten he holds in his hands a sprig of ly bough1*, and its grateful t gran e lises his lofiy thoughts still higher.? nd so I claiui the royal crown of tree." Then a multitude of other plants >ok up the strain; some boasting of teir delicious fruits, soma of the beau es of fragrance of their flowers. Each, n account of some quality of its own, iairaed the pre eminence. But the poor bulrushes, that grew on he bank of the rivulet were silent.? 'hey knew that they had nothing to oast of, and they humbly held their eace. The wayfarer in his dream felt pnzled, not knowing to which of the haugh* y candidates to allow the superiority ; rlien lo I he heard a voice from heaven, reclaiming?"Be abashed, ye proud rees, ye that vaunt of the gifts which have deemed Hi to bestow upon you. re hie all alike deficient of the virtue f humility. To the humble bulrush ball be aligned the superiority. Its leek silence is in iny enrs more elojiient than your pompous boa*U.
