Our readers will find in our columns to-
day, the Address to the People of this
State, by large meeting of our fellow
citizens had al Camden on the 9th uft.--
We are aware some dissatisfaction exists
here, as we'll as in some other parts of
the State with the manner or bringing out
Col. Richardson, but we DO not know that
any impropriety either as to the mode or
motive, can be justly charged. 1t has
been insinuated, that those who brought
out Col. R. have in view their own ad-
vantage. If Judge Johnson and Col,
Hammond, did not thrust themselves upon
public attention, their friends nominated
them, and why should not they, as well
as the supporters of Col. Richardson be
charged with advancing private interests!
If individual interests have not been over
looked by either party-where is the won
der! Politician arc now, what they have
ever been, and if the friends of the several
candidates were not influenced in offering
them to public consideration. by some mo.
tive involving personal advancement or ad'
vamtage-there, would be the wonder, We
presume each candidate was satisfied with
the call upon him, or he would not have
suffered his name to 60 before the People,
Relieving that they all occupy the same

influence to be felt in the great political contest now

JUDGE colours ADDRESS.

We have extracted largely from this admirable
address to-day, particularly from that part of it in
which he gives the reasons why he cannot support
Con. HARRISON for the Presidency. To our mind,
they are perfectly satisfactory, and must, we think,
prove so to every unpreudced reader. In our next,
we shal give further extracts, embracing the grounds
on which he is constrained to support Mr.. Van b.
Rem, and these we think, will be found equally con.
elusive We recommend the extracts to our readers.

gil the highest Office in the gift of the
People, we think the only inquiry to be
made is-whose success will effect most
good! We believe Col. Hammond is de-
serving of every respect.as private gen.
tleman-but the claim he may havesto the
high honor his friends solicit for him, we
cannot perceive. Judge Johnson is very
we'll placed. Let him continue, where he
can as effeclually, serve the State as:if he
were Governor. When he wishes to re-
tire from the public service, we think he
can do so as digni6edly, from an Office
held during pleasure, a. from one ont Of
which he must 60, whether he will it, or
not. Men, we care nothing about, but
we have much regard for the effect Of
measures. The election Of either Col.
Hammond, or Judge johnson will dissi-
pate or disturb the harmony we are anxi-
Gus TO see cultivated and confirmed,
throughout the State. The friends of
Col. Richardson declare their objects are,
the healing of old wounds-banishment
Of party differences from social and pub.
lie life, and by amalgamation of the :old
Notification and Union parties. 10 form
ONE. Believing as we do, that the elec-
ti6n of Col. Richardson tends clearly TO
the attainment of this desideratum, we do
not hesitate to say he, ought to be the sue
cessful Candidate We entreat all our
readers, every voter in this section of the
State, whether Nulli6er or Unionst, to
lay aside his jealousy of individuals. and
look at the question as it is. presented to
him. The union of the parties which
very few years ago divided the State was
thought imperfect. The Nulli6ers offered
as The solve Branch" of reconciliation
and peace, to make q Union man Cover
nor. The proposition was acceded to,
and Col. Richardson was named. We
believe the offer was made and accepted
by the immediate actors, under perfect
confidence that both parties would cheer
fully ralify it. Before we scan motives too
closely, we should be sure, our own, are
al,oays unquestionabk. We have not
stopped to inquire into the secret views
of the friends Of either candidate, and
shall not, for at best we could but guess
them, If any such they have. We pass
the question by and look to the result
the end aimed at-the establishment Of
Harmony within our borders, on an en-
during basis-the REUNION of our People.
This is the view we think every Nulliier,
every Union man, every good Citizen
should take. The offer to elect q Union
man Governor, was intended and accep-
ted as compromise of past differences.
Let both parties carry it out in good faith,
and by electing Col. Richardson affix a
Seal to the Bond of Union. The Camden
Address, is an able exposition of Col.
Richardson's claims to the support of both
parties. We commend II TO the Unbiased
examination OF every citizen, under the
conviction an impartial Judgment will ar
rive at our conclusion-that Col. Richard.
son ought to be elected.

SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 6, 1910.
THE RIVERS.

When our paper went to press on Friday of last
week. the Wateree was very high, and still rising,
though at that time, had not heard of any of
the cmbankments having given way. During the
afternoon and night of Friday, however, the waters
continued to rise until all the low grounds COM
petely submerged, and the embankments of all the
plantations on tho river, as far as we have heard,
either broken or overdowed. Tho river was at its
highest point on Saturday morning, and wanted but
10 inches of being as high Us the reshet Of August
1881, which was the highest we have ever heard
carried away in 1881, and after being rebuilt was
again swept off, but at what time do not remem-
ber was reconstructed about two years since under
the superintcndance of Capt. VANDERFoRD Of Che
raw, fortunately wthstood the sweeping torrent.
The damage which has been sustained, not only by
the destruction Of the growing crop, but by washing
up of the plantations and the loss of stock is inl-
mense.
These losses, however, heavy as they are, are
light in comparison to those suffered by southern
noighbors. The rise in the waters of the Congaroe
and Savannah rivers, has been of the most unprecc-
dontcd character. At Augusta and Hamburg the
loss Of property was immense. In the former we
have heard it estimated at million Of dollars and
rot less than half that sum in Hamburg, besides
the damages on the plantations on the rvc'. AT
Augusta the water 10 the height of 10 feet IN
some Of the streets, and there were none which
were not entirely under water. Bolts were used IN
all the principle streets for the purpose Of saving
persons and property. At Hamburg, the flood was
ersn moro extensive, the wa:o: rising and filling the
lower stories Of nearly every building in tho town.
It is gratifying fact, that amidst all the loss and
distress, caused by this disastrous visitation, that in
neither Hlmourg Or Augusta, was there any lives
lost.

Tomato Wine.-Dr. Horace C. Gillette,
Of East Windsor. informs us that he has
succeeded in producing, from the juice Of
the Tomato, liquor scarcely to be distin.
guished, in its appearance and favor, from
some Of the best species of pure wine. AT
the close Of the last season, when 1t was
becoming difficult longer to preserve the
ripened fruit from decay. he took quon'
tity Of Tomatoes. by may of experiment,
and extracted the juice by simple pres.
sure until he had obtained two quarts. To
this, after having strained it and put it in.
to glass bottle, he added two pounds Of
sugar-the common article known as mo.
lasses sugar. It was then set aside and
left to 90 through the natural process OF
ferme ton, and. being out Of sight, was
soon out of mind. On recurring to the ex-
pertinent few days since, the result was
found as above stated.
II the medicinal properties Of the 10.
mato, which are now generally understood
to be valuable, are in no way impaired or
lost by this operation, the discovery Of Dir.
Gillette may be of no small avantage to

it practicable, with very little trouble or

THE GREAT N. O. LOTTERIES.

.
We believe the exploded Lotteries men.
toned below, are the same whose long
Advertisement we refused o.publish some
time ago-showing that the expense Of
the Advertisement, as ordered in all the
papers in the Union, and the British Pro-
vinces, would be so immense, that If in
tended TO be paid for, the profits Of the
lotteries, must lie Of the most extravagant-
ly gambling character. So far from re-
GREETING the explosion OF these mischie-
vious concerns, we are satisfied it would
be blessing to society, if all lotteries
were to break, with the loss of every dol.
lar invested by Ticket purchasers; as The
best mode of putting an entire stop to
such ultra.gambIing, immoral, and cor
rupting establishments. They are, in our
opinion, as far more mischieyous to So
ciety. than actual gaming houses, as "de-
cent" grog shops are more so than low
and vulgar ones. Who visits a gaming
table, till the mad passion for the vice,
has first been generated by lotteries, and
other decent and more insidious tempta-
tions!-and who can be induced 10 enter
low "doggery." till he has become ha-
bituated to drunkenness, in the ,fashiona-
BILE "Cofee Houses" "Confectionaries," "
&C.. whose attractive exteriors-"lik
whitel sepulcres, beautiful and seemly
without, but full of all uncleanness"-6rst
lured him within their treacherous walls!
Men never intend to become gamblers or
drunkards; or do become so at once: And
if you would check gambling or drunken
ness, strike at lotteries and initiatory
drinking houses, and exclude games OF
chance and intoxicating drinks from your
own families. e.,:u
