The Situation.

accept one ofgrave responsibility, and attend
ed with more serious difficulties than any they
have>had yet tosontourter. Still it must be
accepted cordially, honestly and loyalty, with,
out reserve or hesitation, bya all who desire to
see the country restored to peace and prosper
ity. Under, the new order Of things; we find
ourselves surrounded by a busy crowd. All
have work4o do and duties to perform, which,
although new to most of US, must be done apd
performed with singleness of purpose and
hearty devotion toa work of such paramount
importance as the reconstruction of free
Gover1mente
1t is not inappropriate to remark here, that
we of South Carolina have, had more to do
with politics in the past than was either profit
able or advantageous to our interests as peo-
pie. It will be long time before we can be
dragged again into political complications or
party fcuds. And tits eminently proper and
wise to abjure for ths present party or politi-
cal organizations, only selecting for our suf
fragcs our best, wisest and most experienced
men for the various positions which it is nee
essary to fill to complete the work of organi-
zing our Government. Place in the Congress,
in the Legislature, in the Executive and all
other civil Offices, men to whom you can con-
fide your greatest interests; and having done
this, you may apply yourselves unfettercd aud
uncncumbered to the great work you have to
accomplish both for yourselves and your pos
tcrity.
Whatever might have been the early apprc-
tensions of our people on the accession of the
present Chief Magistrate of the United States,
VIC may frankly say. that they are not now en-
tcrtained- that the policy of the President,
SO far as it has been developed; and his official
acts to the present time, have inspired the
people of the South with confidence in his
patriotism and honesty of purpose. SO far,
he has right to claim the approval and sup
port Of the people Of the. Southern States in
the coming CONTEST which t n almost certain
he VIII have with the restless spirit Of radical
ism. To this extent, then, our people may
patrio;ipally go, and.mdSst feel a deep interest
in thcNesult of the struggle between wise
conservatism and rampant fanaticism. Iniall
other politica! issues, they have but little in
tefest, and we have no doubt they will turn
to'the cultivation of their lands, the building
up"of their trade, commerce and manufao-
lures, with all earnestness Of purpose and a
cheerful devotion, that will leave little time
for political harangucs or party caucusscs.---
This is the path of wisdom and Of duty.
