FROM ROW UNTII. JAKCARY 1, 1779,
FOR
CENTS-
TEN
This special offer Is msde to enable the Southern
people to see for theSaelver how good a pajxT THE
WOULD U and how worthy Ills of thejr support.
On the 1st of Mar, 1S76, the ownership and con
trol ofTHE WO Uni)'paased into the hands of the
undersigned, under whose absolute and untrammel
led direction THE WOULD hits ever sinec remained
and now remains During the whole of this time
THE WORLD has lalwred patiently and neraever-
itmly for the accomplishment of two great objects in
politics otparamount interest to the Houthern peo
ple. l. The restoration of local self-government at
the South. 11. A real reform of the civil service, in
such wise as to destroy the political machines under
the operation of which it has come to pass that U* e
p.. 1 ,jq.. Kf. to support political }iartlc&, wh^eas.
political latrliea have no other reason of being ex
cept tu lessen the burdens of the government, Ihe
first of these objects lias been triumphantly accom
plished. All intelligent Northern men now admit
that all parts of the country were as deeply inter
ested as the South in seeing it won. A corrupt and
anti-Democratic government in the South was a per
manent peril to the ascendency of true American
principles in the Federal Government and therefore
to the peace ami honor of the whole people
The second political object for whirl: THE WORLD
contends still remains be fully achieved. The ac
tual Administration began its career with-exccllent
promises tn this direction, of "which it is smfirient to
say that thev have been a* vet only in part re
deemed. THE WORLD for its part will resolutely
support any honest effort to redeem these promises
fully, by whomsoever made, and will as resolutely
denounce every obstacle thrown in the way of re
deeming them, from whatever quarter.
It seems to the undersigned eminently proper that
he should ask the cooperation of the host men of the
South with THE WORLD in its efforts to carry out I
the policy here outlined. He believes THE WOULD |
to be a paper which Southern citlxens and Demo-
crats can recommend to Southern readers as an in-J
flucnce worthy and ini|iottant to he brought to hear j
with constantly Increasing power upon the conduct 1
of our national affairs, in the interest of truth, of jus
tice and harmonv among our people of all sections.
It ismy (hvb, to keep THE WORLD in a living i
relation with the le st thottglit of the South, to the I
end that the te st ideas, wishes and*feelings of the j
South' i n people may beclearly and fail lv made known j
trrthe North,theRjwtand the' WestrAttkern private *
and in public affaii-s the misunderstanding of .
men by one another lit's at the root of so much evil ! t
that the word itself lias cocie to he a synonym I
with quarreling and strife. It was a wise saying of
laird Elgin, at the time of one of our sharped dls- ;
putes witli tireact Hrilain. that two inU'IRgeut gen- j
tlemeu alone on a rati in the Atlantic with plenary
■towers coul l adjust the whole matter iu an hour.
THE WORLD simply asks its friends at the South l
to aid it in bringing glmut a complete meeting of j
minds on all public questions lie! ween the intelligent ;
ritixens of alliiait.s of the Enion.

Reisnlt ol'thc October Elections.
In view of the possibility of the elec
tion of the President being throwm into
the next House of Representatives, the !
recent Northern elections possess cousid- ‘
eruble signiiicanco. In <Uiio and Indi
ana the Republican imijiffities in the
present delegation are reversed, the Pem '
ocrats having a majority of the new- del
egations from each State, counting
La .'Satyr, National, from Indiana, who
has indicated his purpose to cooperate
with the opponents of the Republican
party. As is known, should the election
of President he thrown into the House,
each State will ca<t one vote, a majori
ty of the delegation deciding how this
vote should he east. Should the States
having yet to elect show oo change in
the political status of their delegations,
the next IRuse will stand as follows;
Democratic—Alabama, Arkansas, Con
necticut, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Marylmd, Mis-
sissijpi, Missouri, New Jersey, North
Carolina, Oregon, Ohio, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texts, Virginia, West Vir
ginia—20. Republican—Colorado, Hit-
n. is, irvvr.-Tviini-as, AFfftwL*, Mm^ochu-
sotts, Miohigan, Minnesota, Nevada,
New York, New Ilaiupdiiro, Pennsyl
vania. Rhode Island, Vermont, Wifi-
consort—10. Divided—California. Flor
ida—2. Of the two divided States,
Florida will in all probability go for the
Democrats, which would give them
twenty-one votes in the House o it of
thirty.eight. Califorui t is doubtful.
The Republicans have a hare-majority
in the present delegation from New
York, and the Democrats have ouc in
that from New Jersey, and either may be | one-third of
reversed next month. In order to ac.
quire a majority by States the Republi
cans would have to win New Jersey,
California and Florida, and take Con
necticut to the di ided. column—a re
sult which is hardly probable.

VTIa Speech In HnmpttjQI County.
fC«ilmnbl« RrpiiO'r.j
The next speaker was Mr. Robert
Aldrich, of Barnwell. Aft^r discuss
ing at great length the different kinds
of Democrats that are abroad in the
land, he referred to the danger of
fighting within our own household,
and said^:.
I know how hard it is fok men who
feel that they have been wronged to
quietly submit when there seems to be
any chance to resent the wrong, but
what redress is itto a man who has been
wronged by others to inflict upon him
self a greater Injury than the one he
is sufTerlog? It is not brave; It Is
not manly; It is like thechtMwho,
when made to divide his bread with
bis brother, tramples the portion he
retains In the dirt. Has your nomi
nating convention met? „ If it has,
then two things
certain, both of them, as' death and
'axes—somebody is pleased at its
nominations and somebody else is dls-
satisfied. Nuw, two things always
happen when a nominating convention
meets, and those who are pleas--ad are
generally the few, and tnoae who are
not are the many. What Is the reme
dy for those who are disappointed f
Why, obviously contain j'oursouliu
patience and try to do better next
time—tiiat is the only safe course, the
only philosophical course, the only pa
triotic course, the only ma^ly ccuiTSe.
Go into the canvass smarting under
a sense of wrong though you ate, and
wi rk the harder for the common
cause, and demonstrate to your peo
ple that you are worthy of the office
to which you aspired, and, next time
they will lift you upon tbe bauds of
gratitude and place you In posts of
honor. Take the opposite course,
tight your own household, wage war
upon your own birthright, try to tear
d< wn the house of you fathers. Why,
while your words are that the noml-
nating convention did wrong in not
giving you the nomination,your acts
prove that they did right, for you are
showing yourself unworthy pf.it. Iu
politics as in religion the maxim is the
same. The Sacred Scripture says
“ Ho who will not hear the Ohureh, let
him be aunathema wliteb, being in
terpreted, means let him be d—d. So
in politics, he who will nobdiear the
voice of Ids party speaking through
its recognized organs let him be d—d.
I feel that I hove a peculiar right to
speak upon ’his sut j<ct 'just now.
Only last week the nominating con
vention tn my own county met. I
stood before it for re-eleet-ion to the
Legislature. Out of ’be 141 delegate*
to that convention 88 wepe my warm
est;. I riends a rut
portets — the
strongest merchants, the ablest law
yers, the honest hands of toil, too, were
my advocates and friends. A trick
was played. I had bitter enemies as
well as steadfast friends, and as hute
is more wily and astute than love, the
ifwenutty of my enemies conceived a
pran, which my friends in tb*-ir confi
dence' did not suspect, and in an un
guarded moment n resolution was
passed requiring a two-thirds majori
ty to elect. Iu a short time it was dis-
eoveted tuat a very little more than
that convention had or
ganized itself into a compact body to
detent my election, no matter who
should be ele cted or who should not
be. From 11 o’clock in the morning
until 3 o’clock the next morning the
balloting progressed, I lacking only
six votes of getting the requisite two-
thirds. At tbot hour I went into the
convention determined to stop that
thing. I said the general good is par
amount to any man’s private interest.
If you can’t agree upon me, here is a
man upon whom you ail can agree,
and I presented to them the Hon.
Isaac M. Hutson, a lofty citizen, a wise
counselor and a good man. He was
unanimously chosen. But there the
difficulty did not end. My friends in
the convention and out of the conven
tion were at a weldinfi: heat; the peo-
nll the shock* and convulsions of time
and Its enemies, and yet survive. It
Is founded upon the rock of truth and
will stand forever. Bor a hundred
years it has stood like one of these
grand mountains I saw but a few days
hgo, broad iu its base, grand In its
sides, with its tapering summit em-
macing the sky and bathing in the
sun-lifting truth; dark clouds have
lowered aborr^ts head; storms from
the South have arisen and beat upon
It; winds from the North laden with
fanaticism and hate have poured their
blaets upon it; tornadoes from the
east have swept over It, and the driv-
Londow, October 29.—The Gazette
editorially declare* that the treaty of
Berlin Is a failure, and that It will be
impossible to arrive at a pacific solu
tion on Us lines, and that the sooner
the fact is recognized the better. Peace,
It is said, must be commandedj by
commanding the’arrest of the reck
less power which has kept Europe to
commotion for years past, and now
threatens to break away from all law
and all restraint. If this Is only to be
the thunderbolt has descended and
the winged lightning has pierced It;
but the pure breath of the spirit of
liberty has blown thsm all away, for
they were but wind, and there she
stands, broad in her base, grand In Its
sides, rearing its lofty head to heaven
to bank in the smiles of God.
Who cannot stand by such a party?
are certain, just as Gratitude for whabwe received in the
past demands it; all the hopes we
have In the future require It; and all
who east their puny dartn at her will
be considered by the spirit of liberty,
her enemies, and he blown inlo ato'
by her breath, and fall scatterdttto
fragments at her feet.
Fellow citizens of Hampton, a few
more words and I am done. I stood
by your cradle. I was chairman «f
the committee which reported the hill
to create your county. I listened to the
potent arguments of your distinguish
ed citizen, CoJ. Moore, aud 1 felt for you,
and I gave his bill a favorable report.
It was opposed in the House. My col
league, Ma.j. Youmane, and myself
fought it through. It went to the
Senate; there it was attacked with ail
the fierceness of deeperation f but You-
mans, with the intrepidity aud devotion
which entitled him to your eternal
gratitude, hung upon it until it was
safe. During all that flght, we both
were asked, ‘‘ if we give them a county,
can they carry it ?” We said that you
could, and we promised that you
would. When the bill eatne back to
the House, to have this new-born
child of South Carolina baptised with
the illustrious name of Hampton, I
was one of its sponsors, and promised
and rowed in your name that as South
Carolina was Democratic, and Hamp
ton was a Democrat, so would you be
always. I did not know many of you,
but those I did know were men upon
whom I could rely. I know Col. Moore,
and he told me I could safely promise
for you. Is he doing all he can to i*-
deem the pledge he made me make ?
If not, I here to-day demand that we
set about doing It, for I have a right
to require it. 1 knew Captain Smart;
he told me I could safely promise It.
Is he hrtpiug me to make good my
nuifat.uuUiUj'Vjg t»HPv| vord ? If not, L require tt; at Ida
largest planters, the h HI1 r] 8 to-day. And Major Jeff Warren
guaranteed mo that I could safely
make that promise, and that he would
see to it that the straight-out Demo
cratic ticket from Hampton county
should triumph. Is be doing all he
can to make good my words? If not,
I call upon him to fulfil his guarantee,
fivery consideration of good faith re
quires it, and I will never relieve him
from his plighted word until he pulls
off his epat, and hand to band, with all
the good men of Hafiipton, pulls the
Democratic ticket through.

I lie Situation in Turkey Be
coming Jlore Threatening;*
A Vienna correspondent says if the
latest news la true, the affairs near
Constantinople are more and more as
suming the same seml-hostlle phase
as before the meeting of the Berlin
Congress. Turkish troops have been
moved into the positions vacated by fthis majority if they think It necessa
censed; they said our wish has been
disregarded, our voice has not been
beard, tho men on the ticket are not
our choice, and it has all been done by
a minority who went there not to car
ry out the will of the people, but by a
trick to defeat the known will of the
