A dispatch to the AYic* ami Courier announces the imnl of the A'or at Monrovia on the 3rd instant. Stand Together. It hardly seems necessary that anjthing should be addressed to the Deiuo crats of Kershaw County on the importance of perfect harmony in our rauks in reference to the main issues of the campaign upon which we are just now entering. The r<ccnt pact, with its vilianics and corruptions, its sufferings and oppressions, is too vividly before them to require that the biJrous pic. turc should be painted upon paper, to the end that they might be aroused to a consciousness of their interests and of (heir duty. The bare recollection of the dark period in the history of the State is enough to unite the Democrat* of South Carolina in one compact organizatien, end to inspire them with the determination that never again shall we bedeprived of the eierciseof those rights and privileges which were transmitted to us by our ancestors. Wc can afford to differ upon questions of secondary importance. Such differences of opin. ion will in most cas<s he productive of good. But, when we come to the erand ittiH's of the cfcmpa'gn, involving as they do the welfare of this country for generations to come, there must be perfect unity of thought and harmony of action. Indeed, without th- ?r, cur sue cos at the pells (n the 5th ? f Novetn- j bcr cannot by any nuans lc regarded ( s assund. Work, constant, united, enthusiastic and detctuiinrd work, alone can give us the victory. Will the Democrats of Kershaw County, who onghf to know what disorganisation means.: new, that they have had power restored to them, suflcr that power to be wrested j from tliem ? Wc think not. On the J contrary, we believe that the antagonism I created within the last few months by the agitation of the subject of primary elections wiil vanish as soon as that question shall be aettlrd/ and that, however it may be decided, our people will enter upon the campaign more united in consequence of the feeling it has engendered. At all evrnts, let US hope that they will. As a matter of fact, there is no difference of opinion as to the end in view. I.et us then agree unon the menus for attaining that end. ~r aud ere the frost shall come attain annihilate Radicalism in Kershaw County. Off for the North Pole. The Kothen soiled from New York on the 19th instant for the Arctic regions, whither it goes in search of relies of Sir John Franklin and the expedition which went out with him thirty years ago, and of which no definite tidingshavc been received. The vessel expects to make the voyage northward in about two months, arriving at Repulse Ray about the last of August. It is expected to spend the winter at that place. Karly in the spring, the searching party 1 will < ross the country on sledges to'1 . King William's Land, a journey that ' will occupy probably four or five weeks. Alter landing the party at Repulse Hay, I the Kothen will cnthark upon a whaling 1 voyage. The expedition, it is expected, ? will be absent about two years.
