Yhe constructions he has placed on 1113' letters are unfounded, And only those who are evilly dis posed would construe them in stich a manner, and 1 can only view his kind as gal rain ixe?

Some iio doubt arc weak enough to believe, that i am disposed to reorganize tili? lieplibiicau parly. Nothing hut k haves coil hi form such an opinion with my letters before their eyes, which is the sen i nent <d' my heart, and l luve no cause to regret one word I have said. As to the llepub i can party ever raising I heir hag gard and withered faces again in South Carolina is a rUlkulous idea 101 any one to enlortnin, for I hey woulo lie hurled into eternity !ir>t. and the Democrats wottld ma uler the situation. All level headed Deih'o c ais have a stigma and contempt for lladicals and traitors, and a fur riviug spirit for the poor, iuo;feiv-,i,r colored race, who have been hihtUVa j ear's paw of by that party, which has robbe ( them iif.everything they ever possessed, except their throats of brass, their adamantine lungs aiul their iron muscles, which tin I ,3.-id giveii to them; ami their roguish 11a 1 it res could not ilevi.se any method o'.V::\vhieh to rob them of this gift from Cod, or il would have Keen] lone. They tried to disfranchise Ihc ? negro, and no doubr \voiiI I liavestic ceeded had the Democratic p irty re iiaiiied .sil nt hcugh'tliey r.ii- c;l iheif >nit i s mi \ uivih aiioti of justice to the colored race. 1 am proii'd to see that ihe I)cn ocrnlic party has proved to ilie world by llicir ads, wiiii h spcali ioiidei' than words, thai we are n peculiar people, and governed by Honest 1110,ives, diisi here I would lake the liberty to use I he hathe oft liti fihsiiiigiiislied Ilaiuptbu, who i-1 Ihil pride and jewel of South Carolina, lud lib t gr;in* flint his days may lie iiiaiiy, unit Iiis path through life may iic strewn with dowers to keep thai over smiling face ready and willing 0 serve his people. The lasl speech 1 had the honor of hearing from" thai ? iistinguishe 1 statesman was at 1 (>. ungcluirg October 20, ISSlj, and I wish to icier your thoughts to lhat speech hs 1 know many of you have noi forgotten it. When he calhalon .he colored people to know if he had forfeited one word that Me b id p'ro'in isetl 1 hem. either L-y v>ord Or action, the uegroes were truthful and siin? nut 110, 110. and the Democrats clap ped llicir hhuds and shouted, join its in defence of an honest government, and 4H' will ever prove true. The ? I'eiicYal then resumed, and said, my colored fronds thathiiit nil; a white iii-iii was tried tu Smirtuiihurg and found guilty for killing a colored man, and he was hung in vindieti linn of justice to your race. The. ne groes .shouted, that is right, ami ! he i ?emoerats shouted httfVali for I lamp ion. Now if it was rigllt and just m break that while man's licch for kill ing a colored man, would if not look unjust to deprive him of his right hi vote oil the fence question. So I say let us bo'olflisistout and holiest to wards the coll/rod people, and it will make them holiest to us. Taken man's suffrage from him ami he is no longer a freemen: Let us be cousin .tent-anil slick to what we say. 1 ?have been'ridiculed and my letters have been urisVo'iistrufd as being tinged with Radicalism, for merely advocating a snere'd and j"stiliable right as a freeman; iitnHchy one who may differ iu p'pinibn from the broken down Aristocrat, will be censured in in like manner. 1 want to see our best, and purest men Ijll blfr public | oiilccs that justice may be done l?nll alike, and in all appointments lei men merit, thoii1 ollices. Lam opposed lo favoritism. There has been too 1 iuucdi of that kind practiced already, and if we wish to carry out the prin ciples Of Democracy, let us d&ll hon estly with ourselves, then we will know how to'act towards o'lhcrs. I would not give one cent for1 a liuul I that pins and Vases Iiis opinion on j t iitit of another; if this is Radicalism. I would like to be i'Aforined what .Deni'ocraey is. I have made it my business to make some little enquiry about the sit na tion and condition of the people in the upper counties, and I am told that where no fence sy stein is in force the people have to lead Inert *lilk j cows to the pasture, aided by n tail twister to get the animal along, and 'io thron jh the same process to got it htnue to be milked And tue jio'or people who have no pasltiivs have to resort to the cruelty of tying their cattle by the legs wit!; rope.1; fastened to a stake in the ground, and the legs of the animals are cut through in many instances. The no fence system lias caused s.? much dissatisfactitih Ihn I the people are calling mcelings and getting up petitions to send to Hit next session of the Legislature to ask that this law be repealed. We know not what disposition may be made of these petitions, though it strikes me very forcibly that the men who pars ed this law will sustain it, and the.-e petitions w ill be laid <*n tuV: t^ble^jjV the usual way. Now I do not pro pose thai, we shall get Orangcburg in it tabling condition. Mr. Editor, permit nu to ask it this wrangle ami criticism thai litis taken the rounds through the pros is sullicicnt to Justify theni in theii tie inn on the fence question. Has 1 here been a full expression ol the people on this subject. 1 think not, and t'ne only way tliey can acquit themselves honorably and satisfac: torily.lto thtdrconstituents is to sub mit I he question to the vote of (lit' people on its own merits, which 1 | lIiuiiv will be done, knowing bur l.'e- : prosentatives as 1 do. i :pn satisfied they have the welfare of the coil Illy at heart, and will nut act unlesu authorised legally to do so. It is rumored that they wili.pass the fence law by petitions and then submit it to the people. Is this not a strange course for our Representhlives to adopt, if it be true? Why kill the ilog, then submit h to the people to say whether they were right oi Now, .Mr. Editor, I don't want to lav a mill stone at the door ol* our Kcpresentali ves, lor I believe th?;v are all good: honest men, and are governed by honest ino'ives and in tentions, Ihdiigh tiiey ore its liable to err as any one el.se, and Iwo \vYdligs never nuke a right, ami 1 hope t!ie\ will not attempt to shoulder this bur den and i rndre the rights oflhi;. constituents, of w hom I hey are diily j the mouth-pieces and haw- ;:?.? h'giii iimie rigid lb ael unless auHiorfccdl by tlieii1 const itunuis; I would like lb See a law p&sVoil l?ii p?e.Vv-*H aii'y one, w hile or colored, f;oiu farming tin less lie, lias a lawful fence, niio tli?ttdiglit. lobe lirbtiglii be I ore th, people when the no foiieifYystcine queston is set! led. ??Ad.

There are no groated iibsorljcnts of malarial poisons, that we can avail ourselves of t hint the loliago of the oak and pine and shall we continue to slay ami fell Huso few remaining friends to health simply to gratify that foul demon cqvetouesncFS. Is Watch covetous? I begin to suspect. For what? To do1 one months workout of every twelve ? in splitting rails and blockading our best, belts of land to fence in nine tenths of our ?and? For what? To keep ? ill a few dead cows to hang around for next winter's buzzards. Wtitch writes well, and if he could get out of that old anti revolutio nary rut and get on t he right t raclc. lie < quid carry his point: but if he de pends on everybody being of his opinion he is fa rout of it; and yet he ? peaks of leaving it !o the popular vote.
