Skit, 17. l?SO. j The Campaign. . . . | The rouaing meeting held ntiCo lumhia on the 7th.-lipsjant has been followed by similar gatherings in An-, del son, Walhallu, Ptekena end Green ville. At each point rlberoi,was u spirit manifested by-illie citizens,j both white und colored,-that, will for ever put a quielusi Upon the absurd idea enlcrtuinod by:Northern Ropph llcans that the Democratic movement now being made did riot reach the great heart of the South; and that there wero no colored people enlisted ill the cause. Our citizens of I lie lip country have never been more thor oughly enlhuaiasliu than they are at this moment over-lhe aims and plans of the party. Thousands, overcom ing every obstacle of business and weather, assembled from every quar ter of the country A to bear the speeches and to -show bow..deeply they are interested in any measure to secure for them the benefit of tin hon* est government. :Thi5 echoes of these ringing speeches will bo heard from the mountains to the sea-board long after the election is lield and its re sults announced, and, v hen our peo pie enter upon another four yeais ol peace aud prosperity, no phase of the present campaign ahull be more sat isfactory than the spirit of unity wilh which theylsuccessfuliy met the oppon ents of honesty aud political freedom; The struggle l?i which South Carolina, is engaged is not merely I be success of local issues, but great govern men* till doctrines, involving th.c life of the nation and the perpetuity of, civil liberty and self-government as taught by our fathers. The National Dent ocrntie patty, which is the only ex ponent of these dpctriue.a, -nan no more afford to fail Alum the Citizen? of Orungeburg can afford to deliver, the government of .their county into the hands of the .thieves who .are boldly clamoring for thei spoils they once enjoyed. As the dato of the'One depends upon the success of the Na tional party, so tbo 'fale of tbe/ ?ther depends upon the success of OCr-'eduif ty Democracy. For this repfshm Sen ator Bayard, then greatest". living statesman of America, vititud ColUm bin and made his great, national speech; and for the same iteasoh our own leaders are visiting every county in the slate in order ttoJ arouse the people to the importance of the issues at stake. Orungeburg Democracy, remembering the peiiod of their deep humiliation, aud having Bolive'r, Webster and Struker' ill their: midst, cannot be indifferentste the passing events hut will givef in November next a good thousanXV majority for Democracy, home iu!e anil "honesty. Our colored voters will make this prediction a verity. 1 Well Done, Maine. The rcporiu published of thu re sults of the stutc election recently held in Maine-tell like a ihuuder boll on the Republican party and will most .it . _?_,,!,- _ .1.. assuredly gi*S ?? iictt miwu uu cut: Presidential Contest. ?Before the public, Maine btood in the same cute gory with Vermont, a certain Ufrpul* lican State; but, to make assurance doubly sure, the party expended thoti ands of dollars, and, under the leader ship of Senator Bluine put forth their best olfoi ts to Kecuie a felling victo ry. It did not avaii however, as the JTussiouista have carried the State by a thousand majority, electing the Gov euor aud two Congressmen. The severity of this defeat may be better realized when it is considered that ii week ago the Republicans confidently claimed ten thousaud majority and a solid Congressional delegation, while their opponents had apparently little hope but to keep down the majority to only a respectable figure. In con nection wilh ihe failuic of the Repub licans to increase their majoiity in Vermont, the Maine verdict will be generally viewed as the beginning of a political tidal wave that will bear that purty from power, uiid it cannot but have a- ve.ty decided influence ti[ on the Slates that fullotv. Is It So? The Repnldion campaign speakers are expending much of their zeal inj efforts'to convince the voters of the Nor^h and West that the present prosperous condition of the country is due lo the Republican party. They triumphantly point to u nourishing domestic and foreign cummerce; to the gintilying success of the manu facturer; and to the increased yield of agricultural products all over the country. With considerable assur ance they say tho success of the Democratic party will change this healthy state of affairs, because the Southern or rebel element will rule the country ; that disaster, ruin, pov erty and dishonor will he the inheri tance of tho land if Hancock be elected. Against this it might be said that the Southern clement fought the battles of the Revolution and won 'America's independence; that it framed the Constitution and adopted it fts the organic law of the land ; that it made the proudest portion of our country's history, both civil and military; and that,, the' endurance, energy and power of the South have built up the veiy prosperous condi tion of the country of which Republi can partizau speakets so loudly boast. To the testimony. From the last quarter's report from Mr. Sherman's department we learn that the total value of brendstulTs exported, includ ing wheat, Hour and corn, amounts to 8?U,0U?,JU?. These .\re Northern and Western products. On the other hand the total value of cotton and cotton goods amounts to more than 870,000,000. This is wholly a South ern product and leaves a clear bal ance in our favor of more than S20 000,000, besides furnishing bread and clothing for thousands of laborers of the North. Such an element, hated as it is, and whose power is dreaded by the corrupt leaders of the Uepub li'cari party, has a tight to be heard and to exercise whatever inllueuee her controlling position may warrant. It Shall ?JU. The Presidential outlook was never I more encouraging thai at this time From every section td' the country assurance ig given that the masses are tall', ing to the standard ol lluhcock and English. Democratic papers, North aud West, are full of glowing accounts of the pt ogtess ol . the campaign, while Republican sheets acknowledge that tliotU is no hope for Garlleld and Arthur except in a liber ! al expenditure of money and a judi | cious management of the parly rna j chinery. A most significant fact in r Ibis'campaign, and one differing from j cA'ery one preceding it, is that the Intelligence of the North, heretofore 'working and voting with the Republi cans, arc beginning to look upon that purty as hopelessly corrupt and to re l gurd a Democratic success as the on | ly prospect cf securing for I lie coun try A good and honest government. ' No less than this is the additional fact that a large number of leading I politicians there have deserted the j parly und declared themselves as sup j porters of Hancock and English, i There is no way of accounting for this abandonment of the party by the people of the North except the settled conviction thai the Republican party, having performed the special mission for which il was at first organized, ha6, liy nn undue coulintianc; in pow er, become corrupt and its leaders unreliable. Not having been estab lished upon any great governmcntal principles, it was neyer a national [?arty and could not grow into one On tlie other hand Democracy is the exponent of every principle upon which tho liberties of the people are founded, and will be a national party as longa? Republicanism remains on this Continent. "Tho intelligence of the North sec it and know that the election of Hancock and English will, lie tho funeral toll of the deal Republi can parly. ?? Tho Dutch Captures Holland. The Republicans arc making quite a jubilee over their recent victory in Vcrmou?, ami are using il as a source of comfort to the sick members of their party. What e!?e could be ix pecteil of a stato lhat, says an ex chang?, according to carefully gath ered statistics, has the lowest wages for woikingtnen, the highest per cent age of drunkenness and ctituc and the least gain in population. It. is jlifet iho Stato to exalt tho pcijurer ami brihe-taker, James A. (jarHeld, into a hero. A Man of Destiny. Hancock is a man of disliny, says 1 the Jjouisvi le Couricr-Joitrnul. In 1868 Garfleld brought n bill into Con- j gress to drop the junior Mnjor-Gener-j ul. That was Hancock. It passed both houses of Congress and was signed by the President. But before it could be carried into effect; George II. Thomas, the senior Major Gener al, died, and Hancock going up on grade, was.no longer the junior Major General, and so the law could not reach him. Then the Republicans, .still led by, Garfleld, passed an act reducing the Major-Generals to throe. This was signed by the President, but before it could be carried into effect Me ado died, and the Major Generals were reduced to three by God Al mighty. Finally, a law was passed authorizing the President to drop one of tho Major Generals. Before it could be carried out, and Hancock lie dropped, tlalleck died, and Hancock becoming the senior Major General, he could not he dropped. The man who survived all these attempts to retire him cannot bo retired. The man who led them?Garfiold?will, as a titling consummation of bis act, fall a victim to his intended victim. Hancock will lie elected President. Gar field will he retired. ~ - ? m Gm Not True. We arc authorized to deny the statement made by the Abbeville Me dium and ?opicd into our paper hist week "lhat the Trustees of Ihe South Carolina University have offered a professorship in the Cl itlin Universty to ex Associate Justice Wright." No such offer has been made, ami those papers that printed the article from thu Midium will set the Board of Trustees right by publishing this de nial. Tub drain upon the Republican campaign fund has been so great from Maine, Vermont, Ohio and Indi ana that tho leaders find themselves obliged to make a new levy upon the government employees to supply the new demands. Accordingly those, who have not yet contributed, such as officers of the Insane Hospitals, Deaf and Dumb Asylums and Refu ges for ihe Maimed and the Blind, have beeu notified to send up their "voluntary contributions" as early as possible. The next call, doubtless, will be upon the poor editors of their Country newspapers. Since the miserable failure at the Columbia Convention the skulking Radical leaders have secreted them selves, like rats from a sinking ship, in every convenient hole they were able to lind. If however the'old hull l>e not entirely submerged they will come out again to seek refuge upon the wreck with the hope of gething her afloat for the next campaign. The speeches of Senator Bayard at Columbia and Anderson arc said lo be masterly efforts. Thoroughly Demo cratic in his views, fair in argument and just to his opponents, he exhibi ted every quality ol the true statesman without once descending to the level of a partisan. --\ The Hon. Alonzo J. Ransicr has been, ever since the reconstruction days, one of the most active colored Republican politicians in South Caro lina. He has been Chairman of the State Committee, delegate lo nation al conventions, Presidential hhctior, Lieutenant Governor, and Congress man. Since his rcnomiuation for Representative by ihe Democrats of the Charleston District, the Hon. M. P. O'Connor has received a letter from Mr. Ransicr, in which the wri ter announces his purpose to vole for him, aud to induce as many Re publicans as possible lo follow his cx a tuple, '?We sadly need," says the colored ex-Congressman, "more independt nco in political action, und a belter und more hi.rmonious understanding he, I ween our people.''?New York Sun Market Kepoit CpttukcTKU Wukki.v nv J.
