CHI A r L E S T ON
FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 9, 1868.
Foy President. .HORATIO SEYMOUR.
For Vice. President. FRANCIS p. BLAIR.
Campaign Canartls.

II was not to be expected that the officers
of the Radical State government of South
Carolina would jealousy uphold the un-
blemished reputation of our people. The
welfare of their party was their highest
law, and they knew that Northern Radical
ism expected to find its most potent armory
in the letters and reports of the Radicals
of the South. The weapons we're to be
made to order. If the truth were no.
piquantly horrible, a dash of falsehood
might be added to give zest to the dish.
Whenever an election is about to take
place, the Radical papers of the country
are filed with glowing accounts of "rebel
ssatrocities" and "murders of loyal negroes
''by rebel whites" They spring up like
mushrooms in night; they multiply and
increase with marvellous rapidity, and only
cease to appear when the need for them is
over. 1t is not strange, then, that, at this
time, South Carolina should be gravely said
to be moro rebellious than in 1860; nor is it
surprising to read in Northern journals that
prominent Republicans, living in this State,
declare that the defeat of GRANT will bring
var and carnage on the South. We have
every reason to know and believe that these
declarations are untrue. AS far 8s our
knowledge extends, the people are sincere
in their expressions of devotion to the coun-
try and constitution; but knowing the effect
which the Radical yarns have in the North,
whether they are true or false, we appeal
to our people to so act and speak that no
Radical shall be able to torture either word
or deed into means of harming the Demo-
cratic cause.
The threatening gestures of boy, the
jocular menace of man, the fervid words
of popular orator, are foundation enough
for the Radical writers. From one thread
these spiders will weave web to catch
many Northern fly. Out Of the mouth Of
one person they will condemn whole State,
and will turn timid voters to the wrong
side by repeating to them phrases which no
more express our feelings than those of the
man in the moon. We know that the Radi-
cal Interpretation of our spirit and purpose
is as far from the truth as the equator is
from the pole. But we know that we have
no means at present of vindicating our
purity and sincerity of intention; and there
is so much at stake in the coming elections
that we dare not throw the smallest chance
away. It will be useless to work if we undo
at night the labor of the day, and self-re-
proach would never cease if we were COM
PEELED to believe that we had persisted, de-
spite all warning, in course which would
bring desolation upon our race. Every
man should be moderate and temperate in
all that he says and oil that he does;- then,
whatever the result, the State will be free
from blame.
