In demanding these measures and v

1 ted the most sacred pledges under (
which alone rallied that noble volut- \
teer armv which carried our flag to (
victory; instead of restorii gtheUnion, .
it has so far as in its power dissolved \
it and subjected ten States, in time of i
profound peace, to military despotism i
and negro supremacy; has stripped r
w the Presidont of his constitutional j t
power of appointment even of his own \
Cabinet. Under its repeated assaults [ (
the pillars of the government are | \

tlmt accruing up to July 1, 18(i'd, I
which time lie thinks we shall be
a better condition to meet our oblig

The "State Bank" he advises to
put into liquidation, in treating
the subject of "Bonds of State olfict
and depository of State Funds,"
earnestly recoinmeiids that atnj:
bonds and security be required 1
their safe keeping or faithful di
bursctueiit. This will disappoint t
recently elected officers, who ha
settled it among themselves, that
bonds are to be reduced fifty per cen
if indeed not altogether abolished.

to submit the following as what I cot

f the Democrats should elect the!
President ai.d a majority of the po[
ilar hrftneb of Congress. We can
iot. therefore, undo the Radical pin
)f reconstruction by congressional
lotion; the Senate will continue
inr tS its repeal. Must we suhmi
n it? How can it he ovorthrovn? I
an only be overthrown by the ai
liorify of the Executive, who isswor
^maintain the Constitution, and \vh
vilin-il to do bis duty if lie allow
lie Constitution to perish under
icries of congressional enactment
ivhicli tire it* palpable violation of it
at damemal principles.
If the Pnsident elected bv thcDt

pressed on this fundamental issu
ind it is the sure way to avoid a
'uttire strife to put this issue plain!
before the country. *
I repeat that this is the real an
inly question which we should alio
;ocontrol us: Shall we submit to tl
tsurptions by which the Govcrnmci
lias been overthrown, or shall we e:
?rt ourselves for its full and cotnple
restoration ? It is idle to talk of hom
greenbacks, gold, the public f.iiti
ii.d the public credit. What can

?caVd the 8;are?Let us Rally. j j
Soon will the National Democratic j
Convention give us a standard-bearer,j i
r and .write our principles upon his i i
j dag. Let all good, and conservative ;
j, men in the State prepare to rally a- <
j round that man, and to accept those : t
principles. The one we expect to be 1 <
(| wise, moderate, and judicious. Friends
of the State, South Carolina is not ]
ls vet lost. It is true that she passes |
for , awhile-r-::er body passes?into, <
c alien hands ;t but the. itnftiortal soul i
p of tlie ancient commonwealth can not l
he fettered or corrupted.- The negro *
and his white brother may lav thrir |
j. impious hands upon the body of the
n State, hut her proud spirit escapes
and finds refuge in the bosom of her j
faithful children, who preserve the ]
n memories of the past, and intend to |
r give her yet a bright future. Care- <
Unions, a h 'other appeals to von.? 1
For Heav-.n's sake, for the sake of our '
? homes and fire-sides, for the sake of .
(] all we hold dear of persons and prop- j
efty, let us rally in our strength and ]
I, save the commonwealth. We have 1
tv much to contend for. We have a no- .
hie State to redeem, Its soil is fer- ]
r. tile; its climate is genial; its women ,
0 are true, awl gentle, and nob'e; its
? sentiments and traditions are full bl ,
,, patriotic inspiration; its past is heroic; ,
it# future?let us ulake it prosperous \
s and. briyht. Awl this is the duty of
the hour?to make the future of the
~ " " " J " T ' *
j. State prosperous and bright. But to
.s do that, wo must overthrow radically
ism and all its bitter fruit. Wo must I
jf take away from negroes and South- ;|
v em lcnegndcs and Northern "carpet'],
baggers," the reins of power, ui.d
ourselves again drive tlie car of State *
lt, But to do tliis, we must take up tlie
banner of the National Democracy;
(C we must rally us one tnnn under that
, banner, and, with our strong arms
n and stout hearts, help our brothers ol
tho North to plant it upon the heights
s of success. 7 et us say to the North,
<v- tL-tf we accept the legitimate rosultslt
of our defeat in the late war. We
, abandon forever the institution oi
,] African slavery; wc throw around
). the negro all the protection that civil
v rights involved; we yield him a qual||
ified participation iu the political
role; we abandon toe claim of the
right of the State peaceably to secede
-,f from the Union. Let us, in fine, say
l0 to the North, that we honestly return
.e to the Constitution and the laws?
fairly interpreted. But let us, also.
!o say to the North, that negro yuprernjj
a eg and State obliteration were not
K. involved in the late struggle; that
(1< these we do not yield, and, willingly.
|| never will. With the great Demo
. t* . I .
v cratic party or me com.try, we oppose
rregro rule, and we contend that
I the Carolina of '7G, aid 1812, and
w 1845, and 18G0. still lives; and that
the Carolina of the military neonit
stuction bill is a pretender, and can
K never command^the loyal support of
f the genuine citizens thereof. This,
i now, is the issue. This is the issue
which the Democrcy of the country
will make for us. But to make our
l co operation with the Democratia parj(
ty of the country effective we must
f organize and work. Not this man

all work. From July to November,
l* though the sun be hot, and though
the crops he growing, we must work.

Use of Arms In Walking.?The ,.
Srst time you are at liberty, stop and
hold them by your side. . STou will
l?e suprised how*soon your companion
tvill leave you behind, although you;
lurry, twist, wriggle and try very
mrd to Wp up. One reason for
dow walk among girls is to be found
n the practice of carrying the anra
notion less. Three miles an hour
ivith the arms, still, ii as hard work
is four miles with the arms free. X
lave seen the qucene of tho stage
ivaik. I have seen a few girls and
"omnn :>f queen-like bearing walk in
;hc street and drawing-room. They
move their arms in a free and grace
ui manner. Could this habit become
uiiveival among girls, their chests
would enlarge, arid their bearing be
greatly improved.
See that girl walking with both
hands in her muff. How sho wrigglea
twists her shoulders! This is because
her arms are pinioned. Give them,
free swing and her gait would soon
itecomc more graceful. You 1 ave

if you hold the shoulder still, the mua- ^
eles wift shrii k? the whole chest be- - ? 'm
come thin and ugly. But sTJmc gina
will say swinging the arms* is very
flight exercise. True it is very slight. >
If you swing the arms hut once or
