Organize.

If one half the effort were madeto save
South Carolina from radical rule that was
made to carry her out of tho Union, our
State would be redeemed. Surely our
statesmen, our patriots, have not abandon
ed the ship because We seem to be hope
lessly in the breakers Where are the
men that once counselcd and guided the
masses? Where are our leaders? Are
they, low that we need the force of their
counsels and influence, hiding away from
the storm that sweeps overus! 1t is well
cnough to talk of dignity, and hide behind
the trenches of stoical, dignifed endurance
of wrong, if we were really disarmed and
powerless, but while our opprcssors allow
us a single weapon with which to fight
and while there is the remotcst chance OF
success, ought we not to use that one
weapon, act upon that remote chance!
70 supincy rest upon our backs, is to al
low our chains to be riveted upon US; if,
after resistance they are rivcted there, we
shall feel as the soldier ovcrpowered if
battle, and not like the one who surren-
ders at sight of u powerful foe. Surely We
of South Carolina will not succumb with
out Il struggle TO the radical host now
threatening us. We should organize as
a conservative party. We can and ought
To defeat party which hasimported yam
KEGS to rule Carolinians. The intelligent
negro-Cdrolina ncgro-would blush to
sec his State too poor in men Of intelli-
gence to afford Carolina Governor. The
radical yankee is making u tool of the ig-
norant black man, to cut and carve his
own fortune Many of them will see this,
and instead OF selling their State TO yam
llec Burean General, would vote for a
Caroluian for Governor. Who would not

position? 1.-THE black man has not sac0rM

slucc Of party leaders, ifhe be truly free to
cote as he plcases, he will, in many instan-
ccs, as IL true Carolinian with State pride
in his heart. refuse to elevate himself and
his fellows, men who would not bo here
to-day if they did not hope to make mon-
ey out Of tue negro, by political edserde-

We need conservative party into

RECIPE FOR MAKING RADIcALs.-The
following receipt, says an exchange, for
making Radicals has been placed i'll our
hands. For the benefit of all interested,
we give it place in our columns:
s'rake large amount Of ignorance; a
halt:pint of corruption; one ounce of cow
ardicc; one pound Of hatred of intelligent
white men; one pound Of negro hattery
or deception. Put them all i'll the uncon
stitutional mortar of contention bruise
them well with the pestle Of oppression,
or Brownlow's military despotism. Then
put the compound in tile kettle Of midnight
plotters Add gallon of the essence of
negro social equality. Boil it over the fire
of conhscation, until you can perceive a
scum of faI>ehood rise to the top Skim
the scum off with the latlIe Of tlaitorism.
Let 1t stand till it settles; then put it in
the Frecdman's Bureau jug. Take two
tablespoons full every night and work it
off in the morning with a small dose OF
Revenue officers or Collectors spoils. IT
the patient be much dcbilitated (as he will
be very aptto bc-if he has any symptoms
Of true constitutional government still re-
main,pg in hm) let him take two tea
spoons full of n detection OF negro leagues,
sweetencd with a hypocritcll prayer, and
he will be as confirmed Radical as ever
polluted the South with his presence"

RADICAL, ApMlssroSs.-In Il recent de-
bate in the House OF Representatives, two
of the Radical leaders made admissions
that are worthy of record.
Mr. Garfield. OF Ohio, said that "the
men who had fought against the country
most honouraby. We're generally the most
reliable. and were entitled to more cpnf-
,lcncc than those who had only given
their spirit, but not their bo'ly' to the re-
b~lliun."
Mir I>arnsworlh, of Illinois. expressed
the opinion that one Of the greatest e;'-
lumi,ics ,t.at ever bctcll the country
would be "a black mans party and Il
white mans party in the South lie
said that when it shall come to pass that
1.-The people are divided into two parties
