The existence nf Ivu Klux organiza

Even in Congress ha;; this lit li b ?und
blackguardism of Radical polities been
displayed, but the effort is futile, til
may be true (aiit is reasonable to sup

A united effort of the disafi'octo 1 l\o
publicans and the Democrats will most
probably put tho North where sho wants
to be; relieved of Civat't. But it is not
equally probable that a liberal success
will accrue to the advancement of the
South, If in tho contest the negro vote

Tho crisis comes gradually apace,
j which will test tho patriotism, the popu

any other which has yet been brought to
her. We arc:called upon to throw asido
a',1 the memories of past and consent that
:br the welfare oi the country, we shall
practically become the tool of our op
pressors. The one proud record of the
1 deed is thai it is the old Southern light

A Worthy Purpose.
Through inudvcrti noo w ? omitted, in
our last issue, to mention that the friends
ofthchifc (iciicr.il David Fi Jamison,
j are making elibrb to raise funds sufficient
j t i enable fltciii to erect to bis memory a
.suitable motititiuut over his romniirs.
I ii ncrul Jninison's r< puiulioii as a scholar
i and statesman, as also his standing as a
i gentleman and host of refinement, culture
and elegance, were not confmetl to this
his'riutivo district und town, where he
spenf 11 istt portion of his lifo which he
passed in jmhlic life; and they eannot
? but still be fresh in the minds of all our
renders.
We sincerely hope that this move, <>n
? tho pari of his friends, in their most
j worthy purpose, may meet with that
cordial response from the county ul large,
