PPOSF.S A PRIMARY.
IKN. WADE HAMPTON'S ADVICE.
omlnnte Truest Men From Doth Factions;
"Honesty" the "Watel>word.
Without. Fear of Negro Domination.
In eomplinnco with a public call for
is views, General Hampton baa writen
a letter giving his views and adico
upon the present political situaion.
Since Judge GoflPs decision as
o the unconstitutionality of the rcgisration
law, the standing of the two
actions of whites has been reversed?
he "Conservative" Democrats having
be support of the enfranchised neroe8.
The agitating question is
whether the "Conservatives" should
onipromise with the Reformers or
'illmauites and go with them into a
irimary to nominate delegates for the
onstitutional convention, which will
all outnpposing nominations from the
icgroes, or wle ther they shall accept
he proffered support^ of the negroes,
dio look to them f??r fair dealiug, and
iirht the battle at the i/eiieral election.
O n
General Hampton's letter is an folowh:
"In the Columbia State, just.received,
I hhw your kind and flattering call
nade on mc to come to,the aid of our
itute. To-day I see another eominuncation
from one of our colored citiens
in the name line as yours. Get
ue say, before proceeding further, that
appreciate these evidences of the couidence
still reposed in me by some of
ny fellow-citizens, and \ hope they
rill never huve cause to change their
tpinions.
"I need hardly say that there is no
jersonal sacrifice 1 would not willingy
make to preserve the honor or to
?romote the welfare of South Carolina.
U1 my efforts in the past for these
snds give the best guarantee of my
lincerity now, hut with every desire to
vork for our State, I see uo way in
vhich I could give substantial aid.
iVhen I last attempted to plead for
leace and a restoration of the fraterlal
relations which since "7<i" hud
governed all of our citizens, a South
Carolina audience refused to hear me,
ind drove me froui the stage. I have
aken no part in public affairs in the
State since theu; not because my interests
in them was abated, but because 1
nad been rudely notified that my voice
jad no longer any weight in the counsels
of the State. I have, therefore,
kept silent, offering no advice, uttering
no complaint oi-sepronch. 1 ha\e
fried to serve the State when called on
do do ho, out wnen niv leuow citizens
leelared that I could do ho iki longer,
[ accepted this verdict without one
word of pvotebt. But I am still a citizen
of South Carolina, proud of her
honorable record in the past, jealous of
her honor, and deeply mortified at the
I'onditioii she now occupies and the estimation
in which -he is held throughout
I he Union.
"It is not inypurposeto discuss how
this deplorable condition lias been
brought about, for 1 do not intend to
indulge in rcciiiuinatmn nor in reproach,
my only d -sire being to sc.*
ruir people reunited and the State
placed where she stood proudly of
vore. 1 am in full sympathy with all
von say as to our present condition,
