Thore is 'o telling whet the Radicals are going to do. They had organized in mot of the townships some time back, and we are informed that that organization is still intact,. We must meet organization with superior organization. We must overcome the Radical party in this county. The idea of defeat should never enter any Democrat's mind. We must go on, with a dotermuina tion to win. And we must not stop till we have fought the fight and won the victory. Official Circular. General Bratton has issued the following circular tp the township i clubs: FARMINoTON, August 22, 1877. Mr. President of Demo cratic Club Township No ----; Sir: I have just learned that the election of Clerk of Court and County Commissioners is ordered to be held on the 4th tf September next. It affords me pleasure at the same time to announce to you that our friends, the originators of the "Citi zens' Ticket," have subordinated their preferences for candidates and their views ot policy to consideration for the great principles which we all desire and strive to promote, and have withdrawn their ticket. It is hoped that the same patriotic con sideration will enable them to over come all of the irritations of the late contentions, and "fall in" in their old places in our ranks, %Ybere all chafings will be quickly healed and soothed by the warm welcome which they should, and will, receive. What our opponents, the Radi cals, -.ill do under the circumstances remains to be seen. You are urged to maintain your attitude of vigilance, and i-eadiness to meet any action, however bold, or any design, however insidious, that they may develope. Prompt report of any movement on the pert of the opposition, or indication of their plans, shonld be mnada, JNO. BRATTON, County Chairman. Look Out, The Radical. have a meeting in Winnsboro to-day. They expect to make a nominatian for Clerk of Court. Their programme is to nominate somie one, white or black, and eleot him whether he gives bond or not, so that the Democrats will be defeated and a new election will be necessary, giving an opportunity for new comabinatiorn.. They claim that they will have people to "watch the count," and then they will pour in a solid column against the Demo-. erat. 'Their impudence in assailing the integrity of the m3anagers of elections, and la threatening to thrash the Denaoerats should be punk1shed by the most overwhelming defeat at the polls. Every man in Fairdeld who abhors fladicalism should place himself on She record by turning out on the 4th of September, and not merely by mioting, but by working ~eergeti.aly and enthusiasti .cally for the Lemocrmaji ticket. Ele@th Dl emoiccratie tickcet by a sweep-lng etote this time, and Radi .ealism, whether in its true colors or ibehind asnaek, will be. dead ini old T"airfield. We knew thet whomever Ilhe issue becamne miarely joined between 'Democracy and lRadicalsim, the go6d people of our brave old county motdd be found burying personal *notjve, '.d maying themselves siolidly on the' side of 4ght. But e thing is -no. pied. . Tu. >mt en muasse, and reaffirm your allo - ianco to the Democracy at the yolls. Remember the color line and he political lino drawn by the Radi !als in the fence elections, and crush >ut Radicalism, once moro.for all, on ho 4th of September. A Word of Warning. Judging from the tenor of tihe notice posted at Simpson's, and: from the fact that tho negroes, under the lead of Joo Thompson, the newly chosenl Radical comity bhairman, held a meeting there to protest against the clmnge in the fence law, it is fair to .'prestinie that there ii some exeitement over the matter. The notict has something about "dying on the battle-fiold." Now, whether the negroes in Nin, ber Nine really intend to fight over the funce law, we cannot say. To uie it makes but little differenee. We have no idea that they would do so suicidal a thing as to bring on a conflict with the whites-and if they are foolish enough to light ziomig themselves, why, in the name of senso, let them fight it out ! IIut the posting of such a notice, follow ed as it was by a meeting headed by the llepublit-an county chairman, Was a -ery foolish thing. The troubles in 1870-71 were largely due to just such talk as this, on tihe part of negro politicians and Imilitiamn. Thuy fiequently thr(atcned to kill off the wllites. "from the cradIle to the grave." They did, more than once, fire into houses occupied byv helpless women and children. Such acts were but the natural result of their wild talk. Now, we in South Carolina have had quito enough of this sort of thing. We all want peace, and that peace shall not be broken by the talk or the threats of malicious ngro politicians. In cse of trouble, the leaders n.u;t be held responsible. If Joe Thompson, as the recognized head of the negroes in the County, went to Simpson' actuated by any vuch spirit of hostility to the wh-ites as is in. dicated in the notice alluded to. he is quite as much to blame as the man who wrote it and postel it. In leading or eviie encourag,ing the meeting, he was doing something mn1culated to stir ill-feeling between the races. In case of any trouble, as a result of such ill feeling, he must expect to be held to a rigid Recountability. He has g'reatin finance over his colore,l brethren, and ho is hound to use it on the side of right. If he use it other wise, and trouble ensue, lhe must cxpect to bear the responlsib)ility.

At 4 o'clock :m yesterday evening, about seventy rivo blacks and four whites assembled, 1ve suppose in pursuance of the call. Joe Thompson, the new Republican Dounty Chairman, was there, aidling md abetting by his presence at east. I desire to say in this connection that for one I am tir'ed of being mulliedl by Ridical negro politicians, mud don't intend that they shall do) se any longer. I have ever been a law- abiding citizen, and desire to remain so, bnt if Joe Thompson losires to change the corn-field for' the battle-field, andl to suplemnent bho hoe with the musket, lhe has >nly to head off in the dance--I shall de happpy to be his s.a-vis.
