The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1865-10-11
COMMUNICATED.

few individuals onsaic day last, and the coaa
! seduent. aomnation Of candidates for the
Legislature It is said by those-who are dis
satisfied, tl,et the fair way would have been
to have called the people into the Court
House, and submitted tue matter to them.
The object, they say, was to unite what is
called the Fair Darlington and Moorman
'party with the Rnard party, and run joint
ticket and by this combination, electEcertain
Sindividuals. -. .--
They further say that The Fair, Darlington
! and Moorman party feeling that the cHcun-
stances, which%have transpiued during, the
last four or fireEcars, had so weakened them,
that they: could not manage the District,
! without the aid of the kinard party, and
hence they proposed an alliance which was
I accepted by Kiuard, and ;the marriage vas
soIcmnned that evening, and the issue Of the
nights cokabit&tioa, appeared next morning,
in the Herald, il the Shape.o a domination
of r. Noov:han, fer the Senate and \. c.
! Garlingtoa, j. p. Kinar7l and - for the
House: What is there in this, I ask, 10 ex-
cite di satisfaction on the part Of the people
Of the Districts? Has not one or the oiherQ
these parties ruled the District for the last
Is or~20 years? Is it not Us well t. be GOV
erned bY them combined as separately? i
know some # IT, Kinard party objects to
this comhiN"tiol, on lhe-gronnd that it will
FEoive the Fair. GArii9gt0n and MoormaD patty
contro! Of the District, and thus absorb the
kinartl party. Has not the Fair, Darlington
and Norman party. as it is called, ruled the
District for the greatest part Of the last fifteen
or twenty years. very we'll and why not,
e ask, permit them to continue to d0.so? In
addition to the reason abtye assigned by some
Of tic Einarl patty, SHY this coalition should
mot be submitted to, aud its nominees elected,
I haYss ssheard the following objections urged,
whichI will here state and answer. j. order:
First because they were largely instrumental
in Causing the State to secede,' and then did
not aid her in her hoar of trial as some ex-
nected them to do It is admitted, Ibc,ievc.
4 that they are able men, and sihcSrc ii advis
4 ing the people to thro5 off the yoke and Sc.
cede, and thus exposed themselves to the
pains AID penalties of treason; and in tie
n2ne~of COMMON sense, is not'that enough to
require of them, without expecting them to
! expose their va;2ab!e iiTcs to the l!ardships Of
camp lie; and the dangers OF tie battle field?
TIC lives Of sji,I iue:: are too valuable in the
co0nSels of tic nation, 10 be w"ntony expos:
ed TGcy should be reserved for azhighcT
.dcstiay than toS;e shot doWn l:ke.the common
soldier on the battle fe!d Believing that
3 they could beof more service olheir coaatry
!. at home and in the Legislature, they were
+ perfectly justified in. saiing themselves inr
tihat position in whivh they could serve thcir
:. country best Is not tits in accordance with
the true principles Of patriotism? Examine
the history OF lie world, and you ill tind
that men of talent get ut, ao manage rcVo!u-
tionsS and TIE cO:uufon people have to fight
the battles. -.
A~ai1, it is SAID Gy those who are di<satE;-
fed with csS coati:iou, that it is not fair to
tue people OF th2, District, for a half dozen
Re-. inliridu4ls st t;le village to ct up a e,ucus
and nom nate candidates without consulting
them; .that i is rot dealing justly by the
mass Of the iadi:iLaals Of each party for 4
f;g niembe>s to move n a.l&2ttcr Of so much
Importance, WITHOUT at least, first advising
Nith them, and thus forcing themselves 20
] vote for tEe nominees Ct this coalition, or to
splt of from l!Gir respective parties; and
I that each rarty, il fully represented, might
have preferred to ran separate tickets, or e:
they had been willing to- the coalition, might
have prcf&ireJ to nominate quita<a different
1 ticket from the one now presented for thvir
suffrage. There sey:ns to be very little force
in these objections fer the world is c0ntroied
and governed by coMbinaiionc ,>aui coalitions
managed by 4 few individuals It was the
master mind Of William Pitt, that Detected
the ambitious plahS and gigantic strides Of
the great Napoleon towards LaiVersal empire,
bw forming COALITION between England and
the otber. nations of Europe. /. is perfectly
. useless for men to belong to party unless
+ they are, willing to do the, bidding Of their
leaders. Il has long since been an exploded
doctrine in E.rope, and is fast becoming SO
in this country, that the people are capable of
governing. themselves, and hence they should
j Willingly submit to be go"erncd and directed
by these intelligent leaders, such as those put
! in noluination By the coalition said to hgye
been forme1:oa sale day last.
+. IN reply: 70 this, it is said that these men
: lack farSecia,z ssatcsnlanship, for they aided
. in precipitatiag the coUntfy into the most
! gigantic war, the world ever saw, and thus
4 brought utter rain or the whole South; and
therefore that they should not be trusted
again, lest they sprec pitatc US again into
other difficulties. Statesmen, Ike other men,
! must make experiments and mast sometimes
, fill. Ne all can new see that secession was
! a most Neus step, the way il. was managed /;
but is bot certain that it would. have been
so if al, and especially those %ho initiated
secession, had faced tic music.
1t has been further objected to the nomina-
ton Of Col. Moorman, for the Senate, and
Gen. sGarIiaston, for tife House, that they
have 50 managed together as 10 keep. one Or
the other of f1hcm in the Senatoriai=office for
4 many wears. That when it was thought Gen.
kCarlIngtoa could lie eIectcdsFCo'. Noormar
gave way to him, and whenit was thought be
could rot be elected, then Col. MoorInan, as
the most popular Of the two, wond un for
the position, so as to keep it in the family.
+ Inreplg to this, I,would, say that instead
! Of this exhibition of their skill in manage
racnt, being an objection to their election at
this time, IL is rather a recommendation, for
it shows their ability 10 serve their consti-
tuents successfully in this way. We need
Just such. managing men in the Legislature to,
secure to our District It's due proportion Of
elces There will have to be several new
! Judges elected, and by having such managing
men as cur representatives, we. may secure
one Of these Offices fer one, of our Newberry
7 Lawyers. 1t is said that Col. sMoorman, has
1 not his equal in the State in log-roiling and
