ii. Editor : This has been a glorious
lay for tlio Democracy of this District.
Early morn cmne nit<] with it tho drizzling
rain peculiar to our Fall. This did not, howfvor,
prevent tho congregating of hundreds
of the yeomanry of the District, ac
computed by their wives, daughters,sisters
and loves. Tho harder it rained tho more
determined did they appear to waivo triumphantly
tho buautifud banncis cf Democracy.
At nina o'clock a procession of at least
one thousand di<j? was formed at the De
pot, ami divided ittlo livj Divisions; each
Division was headed by a wagon handsomely
decorated with all sorts of festoonery
of rtves find evergreens, and drawn by
six mules or horses more handsomely caparisoned,
ridden postillion by Democrat
negroes, and e;ich wagon filled with the
loveliest of fair maidens bearing beautiful
banners. Tim whole processiou was headed
by a magnificent flora! car, carrying a
band of lnupicians from Charleston, whose '
eX'piUito airs hushed for the moment all 1
opposition to our causa.
In that procession were seventy eight 1
colored Democrats, and near 0110 hundred I
hoys, the Jailer bearing a beautiful banner *
on whose folds wero inscribed?"wo expect
to be men". '
On aniving at the stand tho head of the j '
column Imbed; the Mar?>li:ill formed clo^o |1

wagons tvero driven to the seats and em-jl
tied of their precious loads, and lha closed ,1
Divisions puled and marched up to the i1
front o( tin? stand. Tho maneuvering and !'
tramp of those men showed they had not;4
forgotten tho lessons days not long since '
K?n? by.
The stand was quito as elegantly oror.- c
mettled with festoonery aa the wagon?, and 1
liiUv.l with more than thirty chairs. Judge i1
Glover presided, and after a few appropriate J
remarks introduced Jud?o Aldric.ii, whojf

A. C. Spain, Esq.,
My Dear Sir:?I have received the
invitation to address tho Democracy
of Darlington, on tbo 2od inst., and 1
regret much, that previous engagements
will prevent my being with you
on that occasion. I wish you g'r^at
success in tbo good work in which
you aro engaged, for I surely believe,
that the peace and prosperity of the
country, depend upon tho election of
Seymour and Blair. Tho policy of
the lladiqpls, at least so fur as tho
South is concerned, is unnatural, vinrlinlloa
cnrl unn.!./. ?
hum uuniouj wuiuu must reamt
finally, in violence, whilst that of the
Democratic party is simply kindness
and Constitutional right?which cannot
occasion, but'must prevent revolution.

lo was not, therefore, untrue to any
lighted faith, but was loyul to h'S highest
ibligations, wife, children and friend", to
lis Stale and country. It is a perversion
>f all sentiment and a solecism in language,
o call that disloyalty. Patriotism is made
ip of a bundle of Beniiments commencing
it the hearthstone. I cannot understand
hat vagrant allegiance of tho citizen,
vhich deserts home, and 6eoks its exercise
n far off regions, against the bosom of his
amily. It is 6afe to say lhat ninety-nine
>ut of every huudrGd of those who crowded
he field in the late war were not actuated
>y a sentiment of loyally lo tho Union,
nit by a wholesome dread of gun-powder,
riioso who went in and did their whole
luty with humanity, were patriots, in the
ligheatsenee of the toi in ; yet the it.tdic.-ib
leclare that, they arc to be punished a?
riminuh ami forever to be excluded frorc
the rights of citizenship, whilst the skulling
dastards are to be dragged from theii
ioIc'.h and hiding places?honored fortheii
cowardice and foisted into high office:
which they disgrace on account of tbeii
loyally I
The Radicals make another dishones
use of the word ' loyally." They persistently
declare that whilst all the whites o
the South were disloyal, all tiio negroe
wore loyal ; and upon this false ascumptiot
they found their wicked design of pulling
the-Southern Stales with all their whit
people and their properly, under the domi
nion of the negro ; and thus pnnish flu
white man?attach the negro to them an<
perpetuato their own power. The assump
tion is as false as the design is wicked
During tho war, the negro had no poliiica
relations to the general Government. II
iiad plighted no faith, 'and therefore coul<
be neither truo nor false to anv nlirrhtoi

failh. But it is a slander upon the negri
to say tbat be was unfaithful in bis dutie
to tboM among wLom be lived arid I
wbom be belonged. As a claw, tbe negr
was remarkably faithful to us during tb
war, and because of it, our hearts are fu!
of kindrwa for him* Many of them fol
lowed the fortunes of their master's tbroug
the war; with fortitude. Tbey (suffere
with us, they grieved with us, and tbe
gloried with qs. " They cultivated lb
fields, made provisions for tbe soldiers, an
protected thewomen and obijdreo, whih
tbe men were absent >n the army. As
body, they, were loyal to us, and the alb

between whites and blacks, and sepa?
rate ono from tho otljcr, i? merely another
i- hypocrisy?a lyinpf, cunning pretext to

J Hut it is sir.co tho war, that the pharic
saical liTpocrila havo mado the most i::juY
rioua abuse of the idea of loyaiity. When
i. the army surrendered at Appomattox, the
- South accepted the result of tho defeat,
- and proposed in good faith, to reinnin in
i' iho Union?that had hoen so'omnly promi

regard the Southern whites as rebels still,
' and they loaded tho very air with the eter

of lho who'u mongrel crew, from members
of Congress, to tho lowest Bureau a;??nt
It is now th? ir purpose to mako tho North

is founded upon the Gospel of hale, and
