Wc have, upon more occasions than on , expressed our ophuou*iis to the formation und existence of political parties in our government, both before and after the war from the simple fact that the perpetuation of liberty, as we enjoy it, depends upon them. Jn despotic oountrie?, where tbc will of the ruler is the law of action wheth er'it be right or wrong, of course parlies cannot exist except for the purposes of revo lution; because discussions are not permitted, either through the public press or upon the Mump, without some kind of governmental Klirveilliauce Obviously for the same reason uombinatioiiK of citizens, based upon the control of public allairs, would be consider ed treasonable and (b all with accordingly. Indeed, despotism, another name for slave ry, is implicit obedience lo the will of on? man; liberty is the control of principles es tablished by n free expression of opinion untrniuineled by government dictation. Free institutional govcrnment-i, therefore i can only exist where the people take a direct part in the control of public allairs through the freedom of the press, or freedom of speech. These lire essential safe-guards of liberty in every iroe gov ernment, and parties generally originate during Ihnes of public discussion, and are founded upon fiiudauieulul [>riiiciples or question of policy in the administration of the government. Such honest dillcrciicc of opinion may and dues exist without any im putation ol impure motives on the part of those who cntcr<ain them. Ii was iIn case in both the (Jencral and State governments before the war, upon questions of piinci pie which divided the citizens of the one, and questions of State policy which divided those of the other. K x citing con I ests often took pi: ee upon such questions, which re suited in the formation of new political parties ami men, honest in their opinions, supported hoth sides. Since the war. however, parlies rest upon no such hohoitible foundation. In the tjen erstl Oovernmenl the contest has been for power on the part of the Itepuldican party til the expense of the < nnstitutioii and the liberty of Ihbsc who uppo til it. In the Stale govern men t ignorance has been ar rayed again t intelligent e, dishonesty against honesty, pauperism against proper ty and seili.-li policy again i patriotic prin ciple. Ibeiicalism \mi been tue champion bf ;!.ne, Demo'jrucy of d?e other.

Wherever Hampton has spoken lio was met mul welcome?! by crowds of enthus iastic citiaetiH white and colored dressed in Hod Shirts. So gcncml has thin drc?h he come that it is beginning to bo regarded n.s the uniform of South Carolina Democracy. From whence it Imd'ilH origin we know not, unless it be from the famoes bloody shirl yarns of Messrs. Morton, Maine & Co., bo freely inanufaetiircd und interwovnn in the fabric of Northen eoelcly during the period of our great Ininiiliittion and theii shame. Wc do 11?? t desire, however, to hccoiu*ider i il borrower* from nny Buch ?ourne and would prefer believing tho rod shirt of South Carolina Iuih nothing to do willi the bloody shirt of Massachusetts, however simi lar the color may lie. The one is the em blem of |ieace, prosperity, and home rule; tin.- other of war, falsehood, and despotism. Wc hci- in the one, the fixed determination of a brave people to assert their rights ami defend lliem; in the other theHellish aims of mercenaries doing the biildingfl of time serving masters. There is a libber ami more cuobliim uieaniiig to 11?** term, Ucd Shirt? a meaning dial mounts the enthus iasm of a whole people, that gives inspira t ion (o the ontor ami dignity to 'In- evcntH of history. There is. a glory sin rounding tin- brow of a man in a red shirt that was never conceived of by the political hireling of the bloody shirt policy of Radicalism. The ml shirt of South Carolina to-day is lho representative of a greal political prin ciple, devotion to right and defiance to wrung, as our green Palmetto, in the days of our pride, u presented the i miming liberty of our fathers. As the one at the head of our columns led 1 'ai t?Iin tan, to victory on a hun dred battle fields of the puKl,?so the oilier will Kindle a patriotism ill the hearts of Ca nil in tans thai will lend them to grander political victories in the future. Let Orangeburg therefore aline herself in this column, with a red shirt decking the broad shoulders of every son; nnd when Hamp ton's day shall come, let Iho red shirts be mi gathering from every quarter by every load and path in the County, let the hoys plant red llagsat every corner, let the streets tit.d t-loris be dccornU-d withered bunting, mid thcladk-s, if needs lie, adorn themselves in ret I i ashes, A loosing red shirt welcome io Ham) ion on the 2-llh of October will prepare ,ihc red shirt Democracy of Orange b nig to hold the fort at every precinct in the County on the 5th of November. Try it. - - mm * mm On Satmtiay last we had the pleasure of attending the meeting of a Democratic ( I tilt ;tt Ayer's Shop, ten miles from town, ami of addressing a large number of w hite and colored Democrats with a ?prinkUng of cable Radicals. Mr. A. Fair, President of the white club, and ICpliraim Cu minings, our coming County Commissioners, are doing a no hie work for Democracy in that section of the county. Radicalism i* hid ing itself and dares to come forth only at deatl hours of I he night ami even then cau tiously. Sore-head link-pendents will not he toh rated about Ayer's shop, either by white or colored Democrats. Their motto is Straight-Out lied Shirt Democrats or none. Mr. John Koines, ex-Radical, and bis two sons joined the club, and of course, will wear red shirt on Hampton's day. By way of suggestion, we won't! say lei every Democratic Club, white and colored, adopt the lhd Shirt Uniform and appear ii it on all public, occasions, at all the club meetings, and especially on Hampton's Day lei it he universally worn by old and young, while anil black. Let the banners he red, the horses red, the carrjngcs red, tin holies (hi ked with red sashes. Let the at mostphere he filled with red Democracy This is no idle suggestion. It will do good ?any amount of it Massachusetts i* blest with two Demo cratic nominees for (lovcrner: (Seneral II !?'. Dotier of the soft money persuasion and ?J.Li. Abbott of the hard. The enthusiasm with which Holler was nominated by his friends and followers seem* to be rapidly abating, mid by ihe day of election, he m,iv lind himself with but few supporters, and his ticket wild hut few mimes oft lie origin al nominees upon ii. Vet if the Demo cr.it ic wheel of fortune continues to turn as rapidly as now, there is no calculating which of the candidates will tumble into office, per chance neither; lor the Uepubli eaiis are behaving as strangely as their op pom nts. making platforms almost weekly to catch the tide of piitdic sentiment. The strange feature about the Itepubl ieau creed is not what i.- laid down in the pltitfotm, hut what it docs not mention : Not a word about the ''bondage ivor.se than slavery," not a word about the "poor, ignorant gbo;'1 not a word about "tin- bloody eh irt policy;" no ci inns or morsels of comfort for the exiled or imprisoned carpet-bagger and .-callawa r.
