Fant and McCarley. c Mefss>rs. Ei(ftors: We neve~r intended nor do weo nlow denly being a p)arty to the bringing before the public the ,Citizens' Ticket, and that we selects ed the muen who compose i.6, is an- c other fact of~ which we are not ashntd. We only intended to g give thQ County Chairman credit 6 for the idea of defeating a Republi- 11 can nomination. Majo W.1Xoodwar~d 1 has also taken iup an erroneous idea .as lo the chiain'nani in question. t We had no reference to the Princely 1: Bligamist, for we know lie belonged ~ to the straightouts, but to a decent colored man, yh,o entertains feel .ings of kin~dn9se towaid the white ~ race, .and we believe has never been paid to (10 that which lie believed I to be for the mutuaj good of both t races. And that the ticket was in i 4hp hand writing of Major Faint is correct to the letter. Thus you. perceive n~o wool need be pulled a :over any one's eyes unless lie desires (1 it, to hi<lo them from the plain facts f< p.fthe case, as we rgadily admit all v w'.ithi which we have been chargod. t There seemis to 1)0 an effort by every I .straightout writor jo miakeo us the y advocates of one man. But ours t is a higher calling. We wisly to t discuss the principles involved, and a loave out all personal p)rejudicos. v' It matters not to us who is cleric qf t court. But as tihe appr)oaching a plection is non-political in its natumro ti it occurs to us that this would be 0 the best time to forever settle the ni question, whether the peolo of t< Fairfield county are straighitout or 0 conservative in their political senti- ci moenta. In opposing the straight- i out policy, if we did noti believe that d we wvere speaking the sentiments of Vl more than half the white people, we nr would step down and out, for we at advocate the right of the majority it to rule, only when the greater p jimount of intelligence is ropreset, P @d; and the reasons we advance for i oplposing any extreme 'measures . in h) this county.are- that it will ari'ay v< the Republican party aganst honest 'b Dem~ocraLs, and oei,widethe donrs P ow partially closed by conservad Sin, to another influx of carpet_ aggors, to lead, gull, and fatton pou the votes of the ignorant olored mon, when if wo the people o whom this county by right be, ings could be induced to make rienls of the colored oloment, they iould moon learn to trust uts, and s soon as tlh3y find that we are in arnest, they would themselves tAve every Ima claiming to be a tepublican from our nidst. They ould also Very soon learn that heir whito friends are their uperiors in point of intelligence, nld that they Iuake the better of1i-1 ors, anld would wailt non1e of their olor put into office, unless fully [ualifled to discharge the duties of L. If plain, honest truth like this nocks tile bottoi out lot it go. Ve sc no necessity of changing lie color of outr ticket. The color ng it has suits us, and if the Major locs not like it, lie need not vote it. Ve will exerciso quito 0nough pig t(d to lot it ronittin as it in for thi reseit at least. Wo have never enchod in our reply the eloquent poech about the chairman, -which 'o suP)oso we will havo to pass, vor, as wo do not kop up1) with the lovenients of the Republican party, ud did not know that the old .ounty Chairman had been removed lid wo vere speaking all along of tiffbrent men, for wo do not believe hat our man can carry seven lin rod votes either way. iIe had not ven heard of the death of tile Repub in party. If we could think liko Iajor Woodward that had they con left alon they would have eCi buried 11s well as (lead, wO (Or aivly havo made a fatal mistake, id should be hold to a strict ac ount. But when wo reflect that his is i free country, and t1lmt one' ala has as much right to an opinion s another, also that the entire ounty is not obliged to sneeze vOry time certain nio take snuff, vo concludo that our crimo is not o groat after all, considering that vo are not pledged to any party, >ut lire open to conviction. KInoV ig is wo do what hati been tile re ilt of letting the Republican party loio in the parst, we will be rather aId to convince hiat drawing strict arty lines is the policy for our ounty, and pig-hbead again suggests hat tile road to ultimato success les through a conservativo policy. )o not allow the wool to ho pulled ver your eyes, for if the noble 3rince inmikos it desperato offort for he straightout nopninoefs, he has an hject in view. Tile change in the ounty conuissioners was the manaion of our own fertile brain. Vo throught two of them had made ood officers, and thought it better o bear the ills we have than fly to hosp we know not of, and that wo mch01 preferred a cojoredi man 'ho never placed his name on a hub list, but showed by his etions that lie is a friend of good overnmnent, to on1e who a.ctedl dif Brenithy and "jined the band," to void a1 serious calaimity, and1( tihe recedent is a had 0110, for if we take p all the meon who have been turned ut of the church woe will have too ilny county commissioners. We re not responsilie for .Prince's dther-in -lawv no. 2 being inl tile enato. We bo0th v'oted heavy for Iajor Woodward, but we (lid not ave quite onongh .Democrats to ote, -11and the party line von then was a littlQ too ight to induce lRopublieans to Ol) us5 out. Wo0 are not prepared a say whether the MIajor carried more votes than bo0th of us. . But no thing we are [certain of-we did ur level best for the wvhole ticket, te and county, knowing then as ow that tihe wvrong policy had been ursued. If the party would have dopted the change to a conserva-. ivo ticket, which Major Woodward (dvocaLted, we would have carried he whole thing. But "pig-head" uirstodl us then and w~ill contimne|to 0 .so undler all unlcomlpronnBing traightout tickets. We perhlaps idi not spend as munch money as he >r the best reason in tihe world,9 oe did not have it to spend. About Lie services of tihe "~Writer" Iast year, simpjly refer you to those by homn he was surrounded, to learn loe was nothing to complain of on hat score, and as to being a member f the club for only three days, I rish it distinctly understood that [iree days in sucht a club, was quito s long as I desired, as my connec on with 4~ ceased as soon as I camno utt, as I plainly saw thati Vhp club ceded no members who wvould dare > exorciso the right to express an pinion of their own, neither do I u'e: whether narrow-minded mon ak me in the f4ture or not. I will o that which I believe to be right, loLugh the entire world go agamnst 0. WVe never denied that we shieved splendhM results last year, Sridding the county of those vile 3sts, and electing the hest and arest men in the State to office. ut we know that all this could not we been done without Rlepublican >tes, and that they could not have ion obtaine9d by drawing strict irLy linn.,no do w beluv ta the thieves can be kept away ior good mo COt in oflive by fuilch a policy now. Wo did not coneludo the convention was ineapable, but are free to say they did not act un selfishly, conscientiously, and with it viow to promote the best interests of the county, but think, had thoy nominatod the "Citizens Ticket," that the Radical party would have boon burted for ill time to come. Wo aire sorry that our proposition to rub out and tako a now start was unnoticed except to call it almost an insult. WO havo boon asked to quit the field without any showing, and that was not considered in sulting, becauso wo know wo wore not obliged to do it uniless we wailted to, and perhaps lio (lid not wish to bring up our honesty in the matter, and provo our assortion that tho "Citizens' Ticket" is the will of a majority of the white people of this county. Wo take the ground that the action of the convention was not neceasarily final, and that instead of being binding upon thQ members of the differont clubs, obliging them to carry out the pro grammenni of the union leagues, by supporting the nominees of the party, no matter whether such can didates havo been selected with a view to the best interests of the common country or not, it is the duty of every man, overy patriot, to rise in his strength a4d oppose, with all the onergy and goal be can1 com mand any policy looking to a diviso ion of the people when thero is i4 our reach conciliatory measures, which can be used to bring us all together. We except none, be 'ho private citizen or delegate to the convention. It is alike the dity of overy man, when Ie is convinced that the wrong policy has been pursued, to turn from the forbidden paths of straighoutismn and fall in with the conservatives and help us to neutralize the remaining six hun dred and seventy votes, and not help the other side, to bring back upo,n us the old majority, of njorQ than cleven hundred. The returns from !the Capital of the United States," Monticello, plainlyj show the officacy of a consorvative policy' and the utter failure of straightout ism. After all their fuss, they bring mJ more than one-fourth of the entire radicaliajority ialthe county. Thiose mighty Democrats run poli ties on the red shirt principle, idle threats of proscription, and carry upon their bannor "wo help those tha t help us." But by close obser vation you vill soo that they they do precious little lelping towards good government. Every precinct where a conservative policy ~ was pursued, reportLd heavy gaii.a to thp Demo crats. If it is not true that the minority desires to rule the majority, and that people will not be con vinced because they think they can better subserve their own intorosts towvard self-aggrand izomnent by pur - suing a >)ohiy which will array the old Bat1 ical p)ar'ty against honest Democrats, then we ask you, our follow-coun trymnen, to conmo down from .your position, bo no longer cnemies to good government, but jomn in with us, and we will by a con servative policy carry you s'afely to the long desir'ed haven of peace and pr1osperity. Be a 11ampton, and know no0 p)arty in 0our effort to save the county, but select thme best meon for office, regardless of politics. 1tot every man put his shoulder to the wheel, and rise above p)arty aflilia tions, and by a conciliatory course destroy all opposition.
