20 We unhesitatingly say, and
stand personally responsible for
the assertion, that there is not a
decent white man in Bossier par
ish, who intends voting for the
John Murrell Constitution. All
who vote for this stand-and-deiv~
er bayonet bill, are either import
ed thieves, or Southern born bas-
tards, who have always been un-
der the ban of all decent society.
"a The Radical party of this
State is composed of Carpet-bag-
gers, social and domestic bastards,
and Southern catamites, who are
base enough to perpetrate any
crime in the rogue's decalogue,
from the stealing of an unmarked
yearling to the robbing of a Bank.
u We are, requested, by the
Monroe Intelligencer, to announce
Mr.. P. J. Kennedy, of Madison
parish, as candidate for Con.
gress. We have quit announcing
candidates on credit, therefore,
we "ean't see i'll" Reason-"a
faint recollection" of "promises to
pay" that are not worth one mil
on the dollar to us. We have
dunned and begged for such dues
until we have gotten ashamed tc
do so any longer, and have quit
in disgust. Moral-Cash system
hereafter, and no mistake.

The Chatham Railroad.

The Columbia Phoenix publishes the follow
ing report of meeting held on Thursday, in
the interest of the Chatham Railroad:
At meeting of the citizens Of Columbia,
held at Carolina Hall, Col. James G. Gibbes
was called to the chair, who introduced Mr.. a.
B, Andrews, who had been invited to address
to connect Raleigh with Columbia, by way OF
Cheraw. Mr.. Andrews, in short discourse,
showed the great benefit the road would be to
the whole State of South Carolina, in running
near hundred miles through it's territory,
through portion Of the State in great meas
ere isolated from the great thoroughtares
which intersect the State.
This road, passing by the coal fields Of North
Carolina, could deliver coal in Columbia at
eight dollars per ton, which now costs nine
teen dollars. Besides giving employment to
thousands OF our laborers, it will develope the
resources OF the State, and shorten the dis
tance to Raleigh one hundred and five miles.
MIR. Andrews, after mentioning other points
OF interest connected with the road, stated
that his object here was merely to obtain from
the Legislature charter for the road; that
the company did not ask one cent to be ap-
propriated, as the company have capital OF
above $2,0O0,000, and would begin the con-
struction of the road as soon as the charter
was granted.
. upon uu6 COuCluSlOu Va tAo duuue6S, NOl-
MoMaster offered the following resolutions,
which were passed unanimously:
Rescued That the citizens Of Columbia
view with interest the contemplated construc-
ion Of the Chatham Railroad from this place
to Raleigh, considering it an enteIprisse 81 the
greatest importance to the whole State OF
South Carolina, and especially beneficial to
Columbia; and hereby express their thanks to
the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad for their no
BILE effort to develope the resources Of this
State, by profering to build the road without
expense to the State.
ResoLued, That the thanks Of this meeting
be rendered to Mr.. Andrews, for his instruc-
tive address on the advantages of the Chatham
Road.
Mr.. Gourdin, of Charleston, formerly Presi-
dent of the Blue Ridge Railroad, being pre-
sent, was called upon for his views on the
advantages of this road, and after some aps
propriate suggestions on the great benefits OF
railroads. expressed his belief that this con-
templated road would be OF immense benefit
to the whole State, and hoped that the Legis-
lature would not hesitate to grant charter to
q road SO obviously useful to the State.

Ladies and Gentlemen: If I considered my
own inclination would not grant your desire.
I have no words of burning eloquenoe and am
weak of speech, but I have warm Carolina
heart, always ready and willing to give word
of counsel and cheer. The country has been
seized by rude hands and torn from us. We
must gather our strength and turn the usur-
pers out. The great object and aim Of this
Radical party is to humble proud people.
Any man who would advise the support Of the
present government must be slave Of slaves.
The women Of the country will not allow it.
Women have always proven true to themselves.
Wivos should drive any husband away who
should 30 degrade her as to countenance this
rule Of tyranny. Mothers turn those rene
gade SONS from your presence who would sink
the old ship Of state into ON African cesspool.
There are features In the 30 called constitu-
tion that are very Objectionable and unseara-
BILE. No man who has ever possessed the con-
fidence of. his State can hold Office. By this
thousands of our best citizens are disqualified.
but this will not, cannot last. Our friends of
the North and West will strike it out and give
US equality and justice.
Commissioners have been appointed to buy

all directions, in buggiea, carriages sulkeys,
wagons, and vehicles Of every sort, both de-
scribable and IIihdescrib even oxen, in
cumbersome carts, were seem to drag their
lazy bodies, followed by heavy cart filed with
sound thoroueNgoi mountain Democrats.
The most striking feature was that every o0un-
tenance was radiant WITH pleasant, happy
smile;aReI greeting ieItekded by one to ano-
ther was Of .thelwarmsst and most cordial ma
ture;. cid men and young men, ladies' and chill
dren, came to endorse the nomination OF sey-
mour and Blair. :.
Az eleven O'Clock The Greenvi1le Brass Band,
who had volunteered their services for the oc-
casion, struck up lively tune, and the mar
shal of the day formed the line directly in

Its members occupy seats once held by men OF
wisdom, virtue and integrity. This ls one OF
the ofEprings Of the Reconstruction act. You
have borne wrong and oppression with sublime
patience and magnanimous fo1 utuoe. Sou
gave larger vote against, the. .Reconstruoelon-
waes and traitors should be branded with in
fanny and eternaly stigmatlzed. They nave
dishonored their State aud heaped everlasting
shame upon themselves and their families.
There are no words in the Englsh language 10
express the utter contempt entertained oy me
for these renegades and traitors They and
the carpet-baggers are like the base vulture
that comes to fatten on the living remains OF
its victim. The word scalawag is used by dro-
yers to describe the mean, lousy and filthy hne
that are not fit for butchers or dogs, with their
hair growing the wrong way. Governor vance
says they are like the 1rishnan's horse-When
turned loose cannot be caught; when caught
not worth a id red cent. Don't listen to
them. These fellows would sell their God as
quickly as they have sold their country.
fCheers.l Fair daughters OF Carolina, great
deal can be done by you. Frown down every
thing that tends to injure our glorious party.
Use your influence now as you displayed deVo,l
ton to the lost cause; scorn any man who vii
not come boldly up to the rescue OF his coun:
ltry. II we cannot live in this oountry-if
forced BY an inexorable decree to 'leaye-we
will pack up our household gods and seek
more congenial cline. a. 49,
REMARKS OF COL. THOMAS. 60,
Fello,c-cuizens, Ladies and Gentlemen
Look not at the past, but contemplate the pre-
sent. and press on towards the goal OF our de-
liyerance. No man in South Carolina appreci-
ates higher the glory and renown Of our proud
State, but things press upon us that wear'la
graver hue, and we must meet them as they
are presented to US. The records Of garolinsi
show long list OF noble, pure and upright
men. Contrast, them with the present so-call-
ed representatives. The robes OF honor and
laurel wreaths Of distinction that adorn their
brows have been placed upon whom2 But
there is consolation in the words OF the poet:
"Truth crushed to earth will rise again,
The eternal years Of God are hers, -
