CHoCoLATE.-Cortez went to Mexico
in search of gold, but the discovery he
made was of chocolate. The monks were
the first to adopt it, but the generous
beverage was considered sort of wicked
luxury for them and they were warned
against it. The moraltsts eagerly con-
demned it. The spaniards, however, well
coined it with enthusiasm.

means would seek the solution of
this grave question.
1 have thus, fellow citizens, sought
to establish the proposition that the
great needs of the South are not
merely political ones. I have endea-
vorea to prove that political redemp-
ton must be followed up by indus
trial regeneration, and that these
should be made mutually to protect
and uphold each other.

Fellow-citizens. in conclusion, let
me call your attention to the virtues
which you are now called upon to
practice. In the late war you exhi-
bited valor, q devotion, heroism
that will live forever upon the pages
of history. Other qualities now de-
mand their illustration at your hands.
Let the craftsmanship you follow be
cool, sagacious, practical. and yet
high-toned, and let your public con-
duct and political action be character
lied by stern fidelity to your political
principles, by faith that waits for
better things, by patience that en-
dures with dignity, and by modera-
ton that shall be known of all men.
Thus acting, You will place yourselves
as people upon high ground. Thus
acting, you will gather around your
cause the blessings of God and the
sympsthies of men, and the triumph
you seek will be won.

The Needs OF the South other than
Political. Extract No. 3 from Col.
Thomas Speech.
But, fellow citizens, I would regard
my duty as but half discharged did I
not suggest to you that our political
relief is but preliminary step in the
great work of Southern redemption.
l. The great need of the South is
industrial regeneration. Remitted
as we have been to first principles by
the events of the late war, we want
material development. And in en-
tering upon this branch of my sub
ject, 1 am glad to find before me SO
many Representatives Of the working
class-''The hardy sons of toll, the
heroes of the workshop and mo-
narchs of the SOIL" Let us under
stand that the true wealth of country
is i'll her working men. Yes, fellow
citizens, I repeat it, what we now
want is wealth. Wealth has been
called the sinews of the war. I deem
it no less the muscle and sinews of
peace. We want well-cultivated
farms and well-flled granaries. We
want the mechanic arts to flourish,
and factories of cotton, wool and
wood to dot our land. We want that
productive surplus which, in the
aggregate, makes up national wealth.
We want our people to surround
themselves once again with the COM
forts and conveniences of life, to
acquire the means to educate their
children, to build up and sustain tenn
pies to the living God. Moro than
the wealth of intellect do we require
the material resources necessary to
repair our shattered fortunes. Let
us bear in mind that material
agencies are essential to enable us to
retain what statesmanship or party
triumph has won. Let us recollect
that it was the wealth OF the Barons of
England that enabled them to wiring

The PntrIot's Badness To-Day-Let
No Good citizen Fail 10 Do his Duty.
The day, big with the fate of the
Republic, is upon us. Battle is this
day to be joined between the forces
of right and wrong-between consti-
tutional freedom and radical despot-
ism-between liberty, regulated by
law, and license, which they call Ii
berty. ss.saS1
From the lakes Of the North to
the Southern gulf from ocean to
ocean, the peaceful fight will rage.
Here, in our own State, where for
the first time the people go into the
canvass for the Presidency of the
Republic, the battle is to be fought.
Here, the Democracy contend against
great odds. Dusky legions are ar
rayed against us. But the Saxon
band, with their African contingent,
will move, in close array, like Ma
cedonian phalanx. The South Caro-
lima Democracy viii do their duty.
Democratsh Every one of you to the
polls to-dayl The voting is from 6 a.
m. to p. NJ, for this day only.
Give the day to the State and the
country. The time for action is at
hand!

Seizes the prompt occasion-makes

his office in the army for any planta-
tion in South Carolina, il he would
