M t V f '-IS*' r\ <v tt t* ft ^ S ?" V H * re W * CAMDEN, S. I,'.. HAY \ \m. | iUMitKS AIIEAU. Tltc thoughtful man who looks :;1 tho| present attitude of the lh-puiilicnn j??rt> towards the whole country, and es|*ociul!y j the South, sees much ai this crises in our; affairs to jjivc him pre'it sol.eitiidc, and till! his patriot ;u heart with dismay. Hold and unscrupulous usurpations, and 1 malignant uttcijinccs, and a fixed deter-j ininaliou to maintain power at any cost, arc the order of the day. while ike fell -j irit of sectionalism, dormant from IS??, (and j it wr.s fondly IiojkhI laid to sleep forever.) j has reasserted itself witIi an intensity aim foulness worthy of the darkest <!a\s of reconstruction. step by stop their purpose can be traced: i:i Harrison's inaugural. Reed's partisan rulings, Hear and Lodge's election bills, finally culminating in the political persecutions in Florida. Its echoes are to be found in the expressions of many liepublican papers, and notably in the utterances of the .1/"// ,< AV/tv*a of New Vorlc. Elliot i Sbepanl, the canting hypocratc's paper, who pats "gallant Hen Harrison" on the back, and savs if two million men ate needed they can be had in thirty days, to subdue the South and enforce Itepublicnn rule. Rrave Sheppatd! one of the heroes so aptly described by Vance as "invincible in peace and invisible in war," and of whom his father-in-law, old Cornelius Vanderbilt, once remarked. "1 have known a good many d ?<1 fools in my life, but Elliot Shoppa rd is more kinds of a d?d fool than any man 1 ever met."' He unfortunately, however, voices the sentiments of a goodly number of his fcllow-fieiuls. Emboldened by the last election, and determined to maintain power by every possible means, and conscious that their policy is shocking the sober-sided sentiment <>r ttic tliiiikiit^r i?roplo of the North. especially on the proposed election law, the tariff and the wholesale robbery of the treasury, they are determined to resort to extremes to dragoon the South arid capture volts enough in Congress and the Electoral College to oli-sct uiiy losses that may weenie at the North. And in the miserable apology for a IVesidenl of an entire country, and such a country, they have found u titling and willing' tool'to do their behests. A veritable reeksuilT in character and a pot-house politiciun in politi .*al rectitude, he is the wo; thy companion of the corrupt Quay, the ballot thief Dudley and l'sulm-singing Wnmimuker, whose Sunday piety is quickly forgot ten when a campaign assessment is needed to purchase an election. Shecl is full of such ciders and deacons. These men are types cf the Republican party, and as the oilieials < f a parly represent its tone and < karacler, they can no more act otherwise than valor can run up hill, or the lcopaul change his spots, and if the Republican parly rcpicscnts the ma joiily of i!:c Northern people. then until there is a desertion from Us ranks of votes enough to place it in a minority, orchange for the letter shall cm-mc among its members, its leaders will continue to represent its present low and demoinlized character. We speak of it as a party, and judge it by its exponents. j'heruands of its individual members are good and worthy citizens, l.nt as a whole it is narrow, sectional and arrogant. and acts as though it iiad a fee simple bill to the government. It never was a national party, and never can he. The dangt is to the liberty cf the country is incalculable, for if these men succeed in their policy, backed up by the moneyed j>ower cf the high turitf men, who fatten ami batten on the wage earner, it means the establishment of an oligarchy on the liberties cf the country: elections become a farce, and the Republic, as in the day of bargain and sale of the Roman Kmjuie, becomes the prize of the highest bidder. New Stales have been admitted when Republican, and admission refused those that, are Democratic: Senators and Representatives uoprived of their scats without a shadow of right to sustain the action of the majority, and a rule has been applied to railroading through Congress most unrighteous legi lulion? Disregarding all law, and trampling cverv constitutional prerogative under f >ot, with indifference to precedent or respect fur the rights of tiic minority, those political pirates .? La>e raised the bJaek Hag of proscription and persecution, and are defying accountability at the bar of public opinion, reiving on the power of money ard political machinery. There is no political crime they will not commit, m r subterfuge, chicanery or fraud resort to, if the one is a necessity or the other an expedient. Not *n!i-f;cd v.ith their experiment iu forcing negro suffrage on the country, (for the unhallowed purpose of maintaining power, and not I.e. cause they eared for him.t nor I he miserable fiasco of their r<vonsiruction measures and / their milittiry'dragonnado, they at.- v/illi; g jo plunge this section into blr-fd if it \vi:! enhance their purpose. They must try cue more ex[*rimeut in the devilish device of an infernal election law. There may ho a few of their number who mav v< to against and thus defeat I he measure, but from the present m.'ook it does cot seem probable, and we will, in all probability, be confronted i * - ! with tins new enginery ui u:e run (.ii-ciiixi for Congressmen. .Ami the returns thus! rendered the LY<~c nl Judge, in Congiv.-:-1 sionnl ilections, will be taken as evidence | cf the suppression of Voles i:t the Stale dec-! lions, and the same majority in Congress may in tiiute j .ocecdings to reconstruct them on the j round of nut having .t Kepub liean form of government. If the\ < r.rry the toil :t:y l.v iheir devi i ces, there is no toiling what they may not! attempt. Their hatred for us i< so intense that they will not S1". >p so? rt of any measure if they fed emboldened to attempt it.
