* Jwrual, !i ALEXANDER, Proprietor. 1 CIMD::N, S. <;., MAY -2-2, ;1 : )tr. Mcf'oiil's Letter. i "When tli?*<1cvil was sick, (he devil a saint 11 wouM he; ; | When the devil was well, tho devil a saint was he " |' It is one of the great pleasures of the j1 Carn-ieu .Toun.m. to receive the "Con- j( grcs-inul Record," and from its pages j( we read the awful agonies an J groans of jl the dead, dying or to be def.d politicians ( Tn it we see vividly the stage upon which the monkey, the baboon, the lion^ j the hippopotamus and, last of all, but 1 by U'i means least, the jackass, who cuts ' his most accomplished feats. In it is 1 the gr ind nu'uagerte, and the voracious ' animals that lie therein always play to i1 ill! tune that gives them a hunk {' of meat, or even a parched peanut. In j' contemplating this thing, we will for a 1 time be pardoned for turning to Wa^h- ; ington. the head center now of the great i1 political circus, with Mr. II ayes as "boss dog,'" Sherman as ticket agent. Conk- ' " ?iinftAi< nnd I Jing as chit, umuic US IllUOiVi | uuu the lion. Mr. M. A. McCoid, of Iowa, j' as "agent, with limited powers," for the J the whole concern. The sccdc at first 1 looks like tragedy, though there isn't i' tnueii in it after all. But to the paint. |( Not long since we readfn the 'Congress- !1 ional ltecord" a speech of the distin- |k guished member from Iowa, Mr. McCoid. j1 In it we saw the blood of persecution aud :' wrong poured forth. In it we saw the j waddling shifts of a politician attempt- ' ^ ing not to serve country, but to drown '1 reason; and by adroit sophistry to cover j1 the issues that were involved. In it we j 1 heard the soft music of the reptile. |' Behind it we saw the bitter passion of r the hater. It chilled us to read his 1 words. It made us thiuk, "can this i1 tiling never be endnd?" .. ! < '.Therefore, we commented upon mc ! apceeh of the learned gentleman, and j forwarded our paper wuh those com- j j nients. lie writes us tlio loiter which to-day wc publish, and which, in our judgement, is as far from real, g nuinc, ^ weii based reasoning as the torrid zoue is from the icebergs of Alaska. Lot us, if wo can, take them up and reply to them. In Billingsgate we never deal, and from this we shall be free. Face to face, tnau to man, and truth as our capstone wc- fear not the powers of earth. First, Mr. McCoid docs not desire to he considered a "uurscr of animosity." IIow then are wc to judge you? Must we trivc a denial to your feelings, and not judge you by your words? | Must we muse the disease in which we i know there lurks contagion ? Must we I look upon you as a saint, as a balm for j nil discord, when from jour heated I wreath you denounce us as "traitors, j rebels, murderers?" Surely not 1 It j is contrary to nature, and as well might you ask the foot to discharge the fuuc- | tinn <>f the heart as to make any such ' request. As to your loss in the late | war, we can only say that we lost too. Brothers beside your own sleep in un- I known graves. To the memory of these bl-ssed men we can drop a tear, pray for theireternal happiness, and wish too that we had filled their places. You goon. You sneak of our interest as one. Of course it is! Everything proves and I shows that; but how can that iuterest be j properly subserved, when as partners, we ' afAmnliv hear the crv of denunciation ! from one side of th*e partnership. Does tiiis encourage kinuuess and confidence? does this heal wounds? Certainly not! put only creates distrust, and makes us ! (distrust you. Our Learned friend takes a long | breath goes on and even -ides upon j the waters of the Atlantic, is fanned ; by the breezes of the Pacific, and perhaps, takes his water draughts ! from the great mountain? of the North- i went. Inspired thereby, be uses this j sublinu, beautiful and truthful lan- . gunge : "Great errors destroy confi- | dcDc; great crimes ruin character for- i > ?' _ - l-j i ,.n j ever. i cs, mucin . i^atujr ovj > >? . this being truth, upon what hinge can you possibly claim a semblance of con- j sideration ? Loss of character to the j Republican party! los3 of anything to | them ! Why. whore's your Belkoap? j Where's your Colfax? Wiiere's your Sawvcr ? Where's your horde of smaller f/y, personified in the persons of Durell, j Moses, llullock, ft tJ omne genus? It i takes no echo to answer. The loud j voice of truth thunders forth, ,8thev are ! gone, and gone, too, because the uncrr- | iag sword of justice follows their path and crowds them to the very gates of the penitentiary* Let "errors and lots ; ;iinnr> if VOU DrOPOSe tO ; keep your party clear from tlie meshes of guilt that binds them now and for- ; ever. Then, again, c^mes "jealous anxiety." | Jealous of what? Jealous of this coun- j try which we helped to make. Jealous 1 of the memories that cluster around i King's mountain, Ilobkirk and York- I town. Jealous of the doiegs of Jasper, i and on down to Duena Vista, Mexico < and Cerro Gordo. This is all that you I cau be jealous of. Jealous because w j' I cn-diiHTK mrnmmmmmauaMxwmdnwriiairtr IWMi? do not continually cry to you, pcrovi! nrruri! per<tvi! No, wo don't; we don't menu to, either. So, cnouuh of this. Now, for us to discuss the constitutional question involved in this case, it is needless. It is no dcw tiling eimer n England or in this country to see impropriation bills attached to army .tills. One is an indisoluble link that >iuds both together, and as well might he learned Congressman attempt to lcuionstrate "alibi" when presence is istnblLhed, as to assume any such rround. Look to the record of your )wu party, and if it be revolution, then isk yourself why howl now when you iave been such adepts in it so long. To ecount the enormities of the crimes peroctrated under the guise of "protecting he ballot box," would be but to tell a ale, though fresh to us, yet covered with all the sores of injustice, brutality uid wrong. Let us, however, pass on tiurriedly, as we must. Mr. McCoid says, "we would not Jet you alone iu the madness of rebellion, In the weakness of famine, in the dismay of pestilence " As far as rebellion joes, we have nothing now to say. To :hat great and never changing arbi:er, the sword, wo left it, It has deci. led agaiust us and its arbitrament to us s final. We purpose uo longer to bring jp this question. We sealed the ver]ict with the blood of a quarter of a r.illion of as noble men as ever the south or any other country [produced, ind that seal we care not to break. In he dismay of pestilence you were with is. Our hearts have felt grateful to you for if, and a thousand times ten housand times have our prayers gone id for you when the great and terrible aionster of yellow fever raged among us, ind when you so kindly helped us. To - J -4.- C 4 A iay ttoui it is in goou uisie iur )uu nu? iu brow up these acts of char it j. wo canjot. Perhaps our teaching was differin t. To us it appears, to say the least )f it, exceedingly bad. We do not care to evade any of the propositions laid down by the distinguished writer, and, seriatim, wo could nail to the most of inconsistency and oiisrepreaontatiou every position that he lias so defiantly taken. To history we are willing to leave our case; and when the soldiers of the late Cotifeder ate States are placed side by side with those that before them have adorned the pages of by-gone years iu martial splendor, we feel that no blush or tiugc will rise upon the cheeks of our yet unborn children. Let us hasten on. Mr. McC'oid -says that "the llepublican nnrfr is nnd alwavs has been the friend of (he distressed, the poor, the wronged and the weak and on this account he enjoins upon the young men of the South to join it. Great lleavcus! Ask the infant to forget its mother's bosom. Ask time to stop. Ask the heavens to | veil itself forever in clouds, and ask j the stars to shine no longer, and then might we hear your monstrous request aitb'sGuus degree of patience. What has the llrpublican party ever done for us? It has bankrupted our State. It has pltfced in high positions of trust men who are dow fugitives from justice. It has disgraced the high and exalted bench by placing thereon venal!??A.*n.Un.vj ind />rtvviir>rinn Tf njf) lllWId has engendered strife. It has arrayed race against race. It has shed innocent blood, and dragged to prison the noblest and best of our people. It has made blacker the eulendar of crime, and dr?nk up the pitiful pavings of the widow a>?d tlio little of the orphan in riotous liying. 'A'his party being guilty of this, and more too, we are nBked to join it. Good Lord deliver us ! Then again : ' I hate, I hate with an eternal hatred," the Democratic party, &c.?for really here Mr. McCoid -'roars and cussrs too.!' Why not, sir ? It is the party of trgth, It is the party of constitutional liberty. It is the party Chut made this "great Union" what it is, and it is the party vjjoh which its future depends. Ilate it! Of course you do. It seeks no revolution; an^by the an pry throes of revolution you mounted the wave of power, and as another revolution it. uli pap save you, you cry revolution, thereby hoping to bring about the greatest desire of your heart. We, however, caught the devil at revolution, ayj we propose carefully to let it slono. Democracy m^au; no rcyolu i ? i _* uon, ana uns is enougu to uiaKo you damn and hate it. The South is weary of strife and discord. She wants peace. It is to her the greniciit and most desired blessing on earth. She is to-day true to (his country in all of (he solemn duties and obligations that devolve upon her. She bears in her face no duplicity, and she seeks only to rebuild and bring to life again the torn and wasted pbcc;;. The high-sounding pauegcry from the learned Congressman, of a "right-shoulderchift," is not her work, her wishes or her desires, it is f&fp the fertile brain of one who knows her bcc. To denounce is easy. Washington once bore the epithet of traitor, Benedict Arnold af god. Warren Hastings crushed for treasure, by Ills own instrumentality, the bravest and brightest spark that ivas iu bis whole kingdom, wbcu Le lot - I I I I 1 I ! II I ? loose the dogs of war upon the ltohill:?s. and history always repeats itself We yon sceui never to tire of abusing and denouncing. If your love of God were half as much as your hatred of U9, then indeed would wo believe that something good hereafter awaited you. Thrtiirrli "in the dismnv of DCStilence" you were with us, yet in the calm days of pence you are against us. Misrepresentation and calumny arc your weapons. Hatred and malice your companions Quiet and peace would sound your death knell, and the political hearse would bear away' your putrid corpse forever from view if ?hesc good words would prevail. You must fight against it. You must crush it, or you are ended. It is your policy, your aim, and the cloven foot will show, despite the coat of sugar you have placed over it. | In specious words you deal, Mr. Mc? j Coid. They are sweet to listen to, if i for one moment they had even a grain of truth in them. But all of the salve that you can use is wiped quickly off by the deep dyed hatred which crops out in every line and sentence of your letter. You are a first-rate saint while sick, but a devil of a saint, we know, . when well. The distinguished gentleman charges us with garbling a portion of his speech We, in reply to this, can only say that wo copied verbatim from the Covgrcs* sional Record, and have no apology to make on that score. We leavo Mr. Mc? Goid with the hope that the veil of darkness will fall from bis face, and that he may have some appreciation of justice, right and truth. Letter from Hon. M. A. McCoitl. House or Representatives, Washington, D. C.t April 19. 1879. ; To the Editor of the Camden Journal. My Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of the IGth. In reply, permit me to say : It is with the greatest reluctance that I was led to take the glance of history to which you refer, and I do not wish to be regarded as an ungenerous nurser of the animosities of civil war. I would not willingly reproach one of past offenses, where I did uot regard.such reference a duty. But in this case the firebrand was put in a supply bill, not by us, but by your representative tni. _.i i men. 1 iic uuiut's1. wus prcuipnaicu uj those who sliould have given supplies to maintain the "Great Union," without making these political ami partisan, and even war measures, an issue. Will you uot,admit to force a fight upon the repeal of war measures, is "to continue to harp upon issues dead so loug ago J" Who is the guilty party Who stirs up the unwouted strife? Those who honestly resist, or those who, however sincere in such u method, bring forward the bone of contention ? It is necessary sometimes to "wound to heal." It is in this spirit alone that I appeal to sad history for lessons and light. Into that struggle 1 had the honor, from the hour of the shot upon the flag at Fort Sumter, to resist you, when, us you say, you "fought us a hard tight.'' A prepiops brother in its battle carnage lost his right arm, and soon after his-mangled body fol lowed it to a patriot'sgrave. In tiie review of an instant as I write, I call tc piiud my best friends and companions of boyhood swept down to untimely death, murdered for the unholy cause of rebellion. My friend, for personally you are not else, your present condition is a matter of deep interest to me. My country is bounded by no State or section. The Atlantic washes its cast, the Pacific its west, and its coast line is unbroken from Muiue to Oregon, (figuratively.) Its mountaiu ranges and its rivers oiako it indivisible. We arc, and wc ought to be, one. Our interests are the same, especially to South and West, but no less also to East. But the faith in your loyalty, and you must admit justly, is greatly weakened. Great errors destroy confidence. Great crimes ruin character for life.* And do you expect a wounded, torn, blecdiug and burdened country <o impetuously enthrone you9 f)o yoii not expect to be doubted=-to arouse distrust by doing^lubious demand? And is it not from i^alous anxiety for the preservation of the government that these feelings spring ? I assure you it is not from partisanship. If it was beyond doubt that, the constitutional purity of this nation, the rights of men, the full and free suffrage, and the consideration of the Union would be preserved by the people of all sections, the anxious people of the North would retire from lbo ciitp.i of its watchful oroicction with ft sense of great relief, The he?dlong struggle of the South to capture full control creates suspicion. If that people did not with such haste, and suoh denunciation of the defenders of the life of the nation, and such a tierce assault as if for the mere booty of power, and such threats to undo the enactments of eighteen yeurs, scale the breastworks of the ballot box at a right-shoulder-shift, and by capture, not election, seek to wrest the power from tbosc who reel conscious of trying to do their duty by the country for wheep defonoc some have even gladly died, but were content to wait and take part control, dl? vide responsibility and be a wholesome check upon each other, and by generous, modest, respectful treatment, mutually grow into each other's confidence and esthein, the wounds would quickly heal, and heal for good ; and if no frrcing was attempted, no unfair advantage taken, no attempts made to pyen ipctu' fhe penspre of an appearance to defeat the constitutional Drovisions. this would soon come. In the light of eighteen years, may we not claim to be as loyal, as sincerely friendly to the best interests of the government, as trustworthy, as impartial and unselfish in endeavors to promote the ivptfarg of the Union, as you ? And whero wo differ, widely and determinedly, should we both not wait? Let matters remain as they are, until in (he most fair, unexceptional and constitutional manner changes can be effected. Is an attempt to starve government (he part of poaee ? Is that asking to be "lot alone7" Is that &iiife-epki?}dling attempt in the interest of "quiot" or ''order?" 'Tis we that pray for peace, quiet, order. We would not let you alone in madness of rebellion, in weakness or famine, or in the dismay of pestilence, and we do not want you now, in this morning i of the sqpond century of the natiou, to be deooiveii into the ch^'Sj? of li;ai. fyiefgl is fa!uin of ''States Rights," or any otner national evil. Sections ought to divide us no more. There should be no solid South. The Republican party is and nlwaysJias been the friend of dlytf'Pvved, the poor, the wronged and the weak; ana th'o Sauth, | needing iuternal improvements, onergy, protection, the generous impulses of the best vigor ot the age, should be Republican. The young men should joiu hands jVjth thnypung men of the West and the ?ast, iri t'bn i'ouug Unpuhljcaii J'arty. Aud shaking bauds as the citing of ouu State L L1 I -liJilWl *... U eg loving its unity, devoted to its durability J and prnying for its jrtigress and peace, we , soon would feel tiic impetus of such principles. Confidence would come, help, enter prize, success, all hand in hand. You were wrong. You fought for empire : we fought for you and your country. Into the impersonated cause of treason nud wrong you J cast your lot, and in the unsparing judgement of history you must expect with it to bo severely condemned, ueiwcen us mere is no malice, but respect and friendship. But the deeds of dark rebellion, the crimes of wnr, the cruel cut nape, the homc-desolatinp strife, and the underlying principles 1 which produced it?"States Bights," prims! allegiance to State, Democracy, blood dripping, damned Democracy, I HATE. I hate with nn eternal hatred. The u'ni- ^ ted, forgiven and chastised people of America, one-third dead, one-third loyal and one-third amnestied out from under the , curse of Treason, should unite and iinrno- j late, annihilate, destroy and make obsolete forever the horrible name of Democratic Party. Let her, impersonated as the hid- | eous monster, die, nnd in her death expiate | the crimes of all. Then, t nder the folds of the old flag, with the noble contentions only of who best can serve, we will have no cause of strife. You say you sacrificed nil. Yes, you sacrificed much for rebellion, I admit. But what have you sacrificed for country? Are you willing now to leave that, country, for the destruction of which you sacrificed so much, for a probationary period, at least, in the safe keeping of those who sacrificed much for her defence, and patiently wait to prove your loyalty to her. And yet you turn nnd hiss upon us the charge of a pyramid of crime," being "outside UIU tUilCillUUUU II "I- "VIV VMM " v went to bunt you, and bore you back in amnesty's nruis to thus reproach us. We did nothing but for her? * * '"phe beautiful, the sacred, Which in all climes men tkut have hearts adore By the great title of their mother country." You wrest me for your purpose, and garble that. "Crime, when it cowers in secret," and masks ifselfjikc Ku-Klux, under the specious cry of "'law and constitution," is what we fear. And that is what I said. But enough. Iam ready to correct errors, and would haste to withdraw a wrong. And in discussions of public questions 1 have no personal reference. 1 am ready to unite in measures for the interests of your people. Very rcs'pectfully, M. A. McCoiDi LORD & TAYLOR, NEW YORK.
