DEAR SIR
The democracy of Charles ton have accomplished
their share OF victory in the great contest now pend
Ing in these United States, and have proven 10 the
whole observing world, that their principles are AZ
firm and, probably, misty. There was
quite buster the wing side, because the dt mo-
cratic candidates refused 10 answer a few gentle
men, the organs OF their parry, upon few inmate
rial points; and, sir, you should have been among
for few days, TO have heard the cries and invec-
tlves in which they INDUCED, on account of their
being mute Perfectly right But twas no 60; the
only all absorbing question, aud which was not 10
be put aside, but kept constant In view, was whe-
ther the democratic or the wing principles should
be maintained. They iried all The various devices
and arts that could be brought 10 bear upon the
question, by which Ia cause the democratic ranks
to give away, aud then they would take advantage
OF The same; think that not inapt comparison
may be made between The DE- mocratIc candidates
and the wings, and Mr.. Polk and Mr.. Cisy--in re-
gard 10 the silence OF the candidates OF the demo-
cratic party here and Mr. Polk in Tennessee. Mr..
Clay has multiplied letters upon letters in answer
to those sent him. and Mr. Polk has written none,
SO with our cend dates; they have been silent upon
all questions which they thought would distract
their party and renamed satisfied for their friends
to decide at the ballot-box whether they approved
Of their course. One thing for which they are
blamed by good many persons is, the letter writ
ten TO Mr.. McMasleI, aho II appears is the leader
OF the foreign portion OF our citIzens, IN reply to
resolution passed al a meeting held by them,
wherein II was stated that the foreigners would not
vote for any man who would not confess his opinion
on the subject OF the extension OF the naluralza-
ton law. The candidates Immediately issued a
card, addressed 10 Nh. J Mem declaring as their
opinion the sanction 10 the OH resolution OF the
Baltimore Convention oil lS40 must acknow-
ledge that it was not the clear thing 10 refuse to
an "a nntmDOrtHut n
by majority at The present tme,) because said
party were but an extrs me minority and imms di-
ately afterwards without beng asked the question,
| 10 cringingly and indirectly beg the support Of
| those who can turn an election. There may be
| great many who may think II was perfectly right
for them TO act IN this menner; but really, u was
shame 10 worry and harfass, torment and infuriate
| the wings SO badly-haviDg the power In their
hands, Ihey should have been more lenient.
Our great city RENAME d undisturbtd during the
two days OF election, and il OILY unll last
night that any noise was created, which occurred
at the treat given at the Pavilion Hotel, by the de-
| mocratlc candidates. This is Il departure, and
very good one, from the old ge Of paradlDg The
streets with band OF music, aud calling on the
several candidates elected. 2377 votes polled,
| which is very the entire number that can be
brought ont.
Our speech-making friend. Yeadon who has done
so much good Tor harm, who knows q for the cause
Of democracy IN Georgla, (whefe he made several
vlsits,) has gone 10 old Virginia, and hIs oppone ns
say, that II he can only produce hs much good in
rate democrat
| Never before has so much excitement been pro-
duced in our city on the occasion OF any Preeden-
| tial eec ion, Tor in 1910 we satisfied 10 hear
| of the excitement around US, remaining perfectly
quiet, but this time crowds gather around The va
rious newspaper Offices TO know the returns OF the
elections from Georgia and Pennsy ylvanIa, and any
quantity OF bes made upon The probable result.
| Our city is very dull regards business and we
| have TO stand almost idly by and see New York
and the other northern cities dong all our us ual
| business Why, sir, was told that dray has
carrier the purcBasrs oi onr fISe individuals to
the railroad al single drnnght, and even the srlI
| Gle OF rlce is bought in New York and sent to
Charleston, although not any large qusntliy, for
| twas only hall barrel. ] am not ewd ebeuRh
