W. | The campaign on which the I'cinoeratie party of this St**??i? ahoal to enter, hncertain fiatares which are peculiar anil unotualoiu', and are the outgrowth of the r-oii.tiiitui iaio which we have been plunged by !In- listless: ?s and ngilutioii begun live years ago, ami mow culminated ii! iho altitude assumed by Tillman ami his followers. For this conditio:! the majority of the party is not j-sponsible, nor do they approve ot it, but it must bo met, and the result eventuate either in tlie victory or defeat of the regular Democracy. We draw this distinction between the Tiilman wing at d the regular Domoemey, because it is the nalurui ami proper one: for while they are not camped outside ol the regular party, they have thrown i.p a fort within it. from which they propose to saily forth, and by ai: aggressive policy .seize the olliees and dominate il. wc have jvniivrltid l-efoic, their platform is only a masked battery, from whence they projrese to open lire. If they adhere to it alone, and abandon the charges preferred by Shell in Ids call for their Convention. the campaign would assume the Torm simp'v of a personal candidacy between Tillman anil some other Democrat before the August Convention, for theie is nothing in the platform to warrant the denunciations he has heaped on the regular party. Hence wc cannot conceive that he will take the platform r.t his text, hut launch out mi the line he has for live years pursued, ami which the Shell call embodies and epitomize?. ilo is too}?en his campaign at Kidgewav on Saturday, and his speech will ho the key-note thereof. 1'very word should Ik? reported, so as to advertise the party of the line lie proves to operate km. It isftu anomalous eondilii 11. The "<uggestoe" of a Convention called by a small . ,.i* ...... m .....

T'ioy claim thai lite/ will have a majority of th - fanners on their side, and arc uppart nily confident of su cess. In this I hey will he teirihly mi.-titluui, if the propel clfoits atv j.m. forth l.y the regular organization. It must l?c a campaign of education. The people of the Stale must tia^e presented to I linn the fads connected with the State government since our resumption o( power in lS7d, and the charges made against il of excessive taxation, incompetency, extravagance. and iin puled corruption, met und dissipated. The charge of multiplying oil ices uHiat also ho mot, and wherever lhere has Icon an additional office created, such addition must be shown to have been demanded by the Farmers themselves, ai? the case of the Agricultural Bureau and the Hail Hoad Commission. The charge that an aristocratic ongarojv. or ring, has ruled the ftate, must lie met r,nd shown to be false?a figment of the imagination of the ignorant, or a falsehood purposely circulated by those informed to the contrary, for selfish purposes. They must name this oligarchy, man by man, We want no general charge, but specific proof. Again, it must be shewn by the parsonnel of our General Assembly from to date, that seventy-live per cent, of its ^members have been farmers during ai! these years, and the charges made against its legislation is a grass insult to the representatives of the fanners themselves. If hueli men lmvc stood by and permitted the State to degniciate into the Condition in which Tillman and parly say it has. then they were either knaves or fools?and is thcic a ni?n in the State who dares make such a charge? And yet, ibis is (he practical effect of these charges. We could take tin? roll of evtrv General JAssoinblv since 1-Si'j. ami the list will show as earnest, honest, able ami patriotic farmers as any State can boast of. Not a measure affecting the administration of the Stale Government in its varii ti< department-;?financial, education!'.!. penal or charitable--ha? been passed without their Function ami concurrence, Jirrors in judgment may have been trade. l:ut we wiil compare them.

Above ail things , let there be a repudiation bv the self respecting and true people ail over the Stale, of any attempt to array the common people against the aristocracy. Any man who attoiiijits it should bo put down its a blatant demagogue. 'J'bcre is no -ucli distinction in South Carolina.

Ac.ion, ilien, on the part of any Alliance, looking to political affiliation v.i.li the fortunes of any candidate, is to be rcnrobjired. and we cannot believe that such con duet will meet with the approval of ilio body us a v. liole, but 011 the contrary it will ??o repudiated, and the man or men agilaj ;ing it wiil be brought up standing, and in j a summary way at that.

In the debate last week in the j ; United States Senate, on the question of erecting a monument to Coi a j iambus, in connection with the bill to appropriate money to help the [ World's Fair at Chicago, that educa[tionnl fraud, Blair, in a facetious ' sooeeh. denied that the great naviga* Ilor diacovorerl America. Partly seI rious and partly in jest, ho made ! some very humorous remarks, and I Iiis historical proofs had an appearance of being well-founded. lie contended that the Norwegians had discovered the Continent of North America two ccnUirios before Columbus was horn, and that there were people living hero with an j advanced civilization, notably from the ruins discovered in Mexico and f | ; Central America, and had intercourse j with European people. His reaj soning was specious, and his coa| elusions illogical, so lar as Christo. ! phcr was concerned. Be this as it j may, the great Genoese has the credI it and wi 1 surely maintain it, and ! his name is as indissolnbly linked j j -.villi tho d.scovcrv of Amoiiea asj ' George Washington's with the! 'cherry tree, or William Tell with the , apple. As Bret Ilartc remarked, all j ! the proof in the world eou'd not I i convince him that Washington did j not cut down tho aforesaid tree, or| I T^il < 1?nf. jinulo from liis ! I XCU onwwv .'I'J i boy's head. The truth is old Wecms ! J j originated the cherry tree tab*, .mil ; it -bus boon satisfactorily proven | thai tlie Tell incident never happenj ed, if such a man ever live 1, but the j ' world goes on believing both, and it I is to bis credit lh.v it does, for j they illustrate noble v'rtncs in our, j common humanity. The world has j witnessed during our century two ex ! Ironies in historical investigation | and criticism?the one is iconoclasj lie idol breaking; b!ie otliT, a white I washing process. Nichubr and Arj siold have lorn aside the romantic I veil of Itonian history, while Fronde ; has white-washed Henry l!iC Tin, ; ami an Italian historical critic perI formed the same oliico for the Borgia?, and onr Fresco'.! lias given a !-orncwhat heller coloring t the char- j aetcr of Philip the 2nd.

I The Democratic' party (or white people of South Carolina) have con- ( trolled Ike State Co.erninent since | 1870. A fieliou of that party, sty]-! ing themselves *-'riiO Fanners' Aaso-1 eiation," claim that the harden of laxai ion is fonrfold greater now Hum it. was nudor Itudie.d (or negro) rulo. Yet, thev propose to slick I > the Democratic party, which imposes a lb irfold harden up n them. Are thev sincere in their charges against the party, and in their declaration of intentions to stick to itV Wliafc have they done to reform the party during 1 lie fotiilcen years of their connection with it? Titey claim to rcprosetit SO per cent, of lite membership of the party; then arc they not responsible for the acts of the party? They admit that the lax levy is about the same as under lloli.rftl rule, but claim that one dollar wilt purchase; as much as two w old in 187*1. This J is not true , but adin.t it for Iho sake ofargsmcr.t, and it proves die reverse; r.c t t!i,w i-laiin. The burden of: f;irmer>' debt, or taxation, is properly i measured by tins amount of 1 ilior1 necessarily expended in tlio produc-} tiou of commodities in value sutli | ciont to liquidate the debt or tax.! In 1870 corn, flour ami bacon, r,l-! though not double, yet were higher! in price than at tec present, Consc-' qnently tins cost of producing a falej of cotton was gicater then than now, j and the price, or value,of the cotton I was about die same as now,- (i. e., it: was quoted in New York at 11 to 13 i ?being highest and lowest prices in ' 1S70) Farm wages, in many local-1 ! itics, arc lower tli in in 1S7G, un.l the j reduced price in corn, bacon unci! Hour reduces the expenses i.f cotton proiuctioa. Thcrfore, if wo meas are tue sincerity ? r wisdom of litis faction by the assertion of its chairman, we could not commend its teachings o.a a safe guide to ho followed by the I'oicocratic voters of the State. If it was not ignorance, then what could have prompted .Mr Shell to so falsely charge the Democratic party with increasing the burden of taxation? Was he practising the art of ii demagogue to weaken J the faith of the unsuspecting farmois -? ? ...v. j iu the party as organ:/??!, aim win them over to a f ?ction whose purpose is to secure ollice for thcinsciws? Ur has he no tru'lifn! charges of delinquencies ;o brim: against the l'einocratic party? Why did he not tell us that the Statu expenditures for liseul year ending October 31st 1333, was 81,190. 182.Git, us follows: For State expenses, &.VJ3,935.411; for into est and redempti-'M of State bonds, $59(3,497.17? '1 lie interest alone on the bonded debt of the State is about $350,U00. Did lie not know that this legacy of de bt was left ns by the Kac'iea! party? It lie is a good Democrat, why does he make such invidious comparisons between his own and .the Radical party so much to the detriment of the Democratic party? Who dues he expect to defend the Democratic party (his own paity) I'roia false charges of its friends? Notwithstanding our large per cent, of negro population, which furnishso DO per cent of the criminal class of ! the Stule, and thereby adds to oar tax burden, yet thcro aro )>nt two States in the United States that pays less tax" per capita t' aa South Carolina. When we consider the interest on the "Radical legae\\M we arc s-ir prised that a faction claiming to Lie friends to the farmer and members of the Democratic part}* should bring such charges against their own party.

Ia view of tl:o fact that our Slate organ is not taken in our (J unty hy Alliance members as general!}' as it ought to be. or as the prompt circulation of Alliance news among ns dej mauds. I conceive it to bo my duty to call the attention of those who do not take the Cottoji Plant to a letter published in its issue of April 10th, instant, by our State President, G n F. T. Stack ho use, on "IVe relations of the Alliance to politics." lie says: i.'iV.n Ciot.i Allinnpo fvia in idn no X iiC ?.-? i ? demands, and, as 1111 organization, we are not called upon to pass on the deman 13 of the 'farmers' Association.' Legislative demands, formulated by the State Alliance, would he submitted to the Snb-Alliauccs for ratification. When ratified, it would become a Stitc Alliance <lo, wand, and the membership would vote for no man who was not p'odv ed to work for its legal enactment" Until the State Alliance formulates legislative demands, and these demands are ratified by the Suh-AlI-ancos. "each member will determine for himself his dnty a3 to men and measures." It is our duty to "labor for the edncatiou of tne agricultural classes in the science of economical government, in a strictly non-partisan spirit.' There.ore, we .should not be governed politically by sentiment engendered by partisan', but rather by the teachings of the Alliance, which aims to secure economical government with "Ktjnal rights to all, and special privileges to none." r . t.
