THE sPEAKERs oN Hampton a Friday, the 13th inst.-will be G'overnor Iampton, Lieu tenant Govrnor Simpson, Comptroller, Genoral 1agood and Treasuirer Leaphart. The National Green-backers. Dr. V. P. Clayton takes up tho cudgols in dofonce of the National Groonback party, and defines his political position clearly and delib~ erately. Wo proposo to say somo thing in reply to his letter. It is truo wo did learn somothing from his formor comamun ication, some thing that wo woro pained to diss cover, that any porson should bo found in South Carolina willing to desor tho Donocratic party for the so -callod National Greonback )arty, an ophomoral organization, which wo still insist is a iongrel concern composed of Nationals, Greenback ers, Labor iAeformore, Socialists, ,Communists and visionaries, who are taking the advice of Dennis Kornoy to "pool their issues." It may bo true, as Dr. Clayton inti mates, that THE NEWS AND HER.'LD is "interested," .inasmuch as its proprietors own seven national banks, forty-nino tons of gold andl geventoon square miles of silver bricks, to say nothing of a doqzen or two railroads, an oil pipe line and a horse rail way, and go nothing j9pr a living but clip coupons from a stacky of gold, interest bearing United States bonds, and lend .money at forty-seven per cent. interest; and we certainly plead guilty to the. chiarge tliat e "have failed, as public jouirnalists, to .enlighten our readers" on the wild psohemos that till most of the "National Greenback" sheets. It may b~e that thoe absurdity of thu vagarieos of these financial visiona ries has tauighit us tQ be somow~hat ~chary o~f inflicting our financial ,viows on the public, the more so as .a very careful study of tihe speches <of Tyurmnan .gnd Voorhees and Ewing and B3ayard anid Bllaino and Kolloy and Allen and Garfield and -Lamar and Hendricks and S3herman and Tildon and Eaton and Blutler and such men, has not given1 us thtcofdence i~n our ability to slothe fihamoial problem that we gmight gave entortained had we read only one side. We' are muich obliged for the oft'er to onlighton ourselves and our .readers, ,but must decline with thanks until wve are assured of the character i~nd ,value gf the information promnisedl. In regard to the pro-*ominonce of the financial issneo we will merely quote the language of our County Chairipan :."Of what usoe is money to us i~f our liberty is destroyed '1 You areo still~inth hands of tyrants who will -take your dollars from you whetbor they be gold or. silver or paper. -Your ftrure -depends on *avoiding all minor jioethions aa enrollinug yourselves inder theo,cgn, 1stitution." Dr'.\ Clnvton naks uno "oto fair" and admit that whilo tho National Groonbgck party proposes -to de stroy the Domocrats, it also intends to uproot Radicalis'm. We do this without besitation, but ask what consolation is it to. a iman about to have his throat cut to know that tho murderer intends noxt to boat out tho brains of his onomy across tho way ? When it comos to a question of party life or death, wo shall considor tho Nationala in precisoly tho samo category as the RLopublicans. Both are plotting the destruction of tho organization that mado the Union groat before the war and has saved South Caro lina since. Dr. Clayton prefers to view the Nationals as standing on tho samo platform as tho Demo, crats. Wo have shown abovo that they stand, also, on precisely tho samo platform as tho Radicals, which is more to the purposo. With two parties in the fiold, tho Democrats will win. With throo, wo sliall have just such an election as brought inl tho Republicans onco before. As to Hayes and tho South, his courso has alienated nino -tentlis of his party. He is called a reiio gado and traitor. His policy would nevcr havo succoded hut for the sup1iremiacy of the Dlemocrats in tho House and a majority of the States. Tilien never would have sufered the Uinted States Court to trample lpol01 the, laws of South Carolina. Tho South is not safo under any party but the Democracy. While the National Greobackers would be shouting themselves hoarso for paper money and plenty of it, every State in the South might bo rmantded to servitude, becau so the Grenbackori arc interosted only in money, not in principles or liberty. As to the leaders of the new party. If old Governor Allen has over quit tho Democratic ranks wo have never heard of it, and we pro diet that be will be considerably advanced in dotage beforo he abandons an organizttion in which ho has been promineut forty years. Ho is for grecnbacks "in the .Dimiocratic p(t)y"-precisely the course we advised our frion~ H to take. On this platform are Voorh 1s, Ewing, Allen, Joo Johnston, l an dolph Tucker, with the Democra .s of Louisiana, Indiana and a number of other States. TVheso are good enough compan~ly without seeking new parzty alliliaiions. Peter Coop or is much more distinguished as a philanthropist than as a politician. Brick Pomeroy has no standing among resp~ectalo journalists. He wvent up like a rocket and camne down like a stick. Buitler and Kearney aro still the most promni, nent leaders of the party. They arc monopolizing the hustings. We regret t~o learn that the Feas torvillo Groonboeck Club lhas been doe liberately organized. We had hoped that it, was the result of temporary excitement. We shall therefore offer no further advice to its mom hers. But we ask if the party should succeed in 1880 wvhat wvould it do'? Issue $2,000,000,000 of gr eenb~acks and have them as cheap as Confederate money ? If an ~at tempt bho made to pay the gold bionds in paper the bondholder will simp~ly go into the Supreme Court to enforce his contract, and block that game. ..Or, admitting that the party came to life on one issue, one act of Congress will per form its mis-. sion. What will the p)arty do then ? It can't go to Congress andl pass a grcqnb~ack act overy year, and it has, organized for nothing else. It will then have to go to pieces and its members evllb opliged to gravitate back to the old( Dam ocratie or the Rladical party at last. It will be essentially an ophoemoral organi zation, like the anti--Masonic party, the Know Nothings, or lator still, .the Grangers' or Farmers' move ment out WVest, and the Commnun ists in California. We prefer .to stick to a party as old as the Re public and destined to be as long 'lived. In conclusion we say we intondos1 no."thirust" at Dr. Clayton's ruling. No Democrat can be a member of twvo clubs at once, and we should own argument to prove a fgrtiorH that no man can belong to tyo parties at once. And it is as much a question whethor a man 9an afford to leave a party as whotor the party can afford to lose hjim. Thero are serious dangers on both sitdes. An Indopondent Democrat is dangerous, only because he tonds to dostroy tho party, not because it is feared that, if elected, he will not voto with the Democrats on party issues. This being the case, how much more dangorous is an opposing organiz ition avowedly in toled to destroy tho l]omocratic party. A word more. THuE NEWS AND Tl1AID is a strict party paper, bdAtling for ho Democracy against all comuers. All good Democrats are allowed to express thoir viosys in its columns as lomng as they are not opposed to Democratic princi ples. But it has no idea of aiJ vancing the cause of an opposing organization, of whatever name or crood. Every party must establish its own organ. Tim NEWs ANI HTIMnD will ci;ticizo the National Grenback party as freely as it does the Republican party, and will not fool called upon to publish a defence of one any more than of the other. Whilo ii. many rospects it coincides in the financial views of the Green. b:tekcors, it utterly condemns their mode of rect.ifying wrongs. In the present campaign, since there will be no financial issues in Fairfield, we shall have nothing morio to say on this subject, postponing the discus. sion whether it is better to have gold or papor until our people see some prospect of gotting a littlo of either.
