Tho Meeting on Monday.

We have been exceedingly gratifed
at the tone, temper and policy exhibi-
ted by the district meetings held in
this town during the past two weeks,
never have we seen exhibited more
marked confidence and trust than char
acterized the proceedings of the men,
bers when in consultation, either in
the meetings or in the committees =
Every one seemed impressed with the
Importance of the principles which
they protessed and the vast Importance
ofthe questions involved. There was
not shown the first instance of self
seeking, and every gentleman who re-
ceived a nomination for Office, while ev1
idently appreciating compliment based
upon merit, character and position,
accepted the nomination promptly and
cheerfully, yet with q consciousness Of
great sacrahce, and only as high du-
ty. This exhibition caused in US O
deep aspiration for day and govern
meut where citizens shall hold office,
not because they desire it, but because
the good of the Republic demands it.
The action Of the meetings meets
our hearty approval. The Freedmen
have been assured by gentlemen whom
they well know would not deceive, whose
records are as clear as q sunbeam,
that we desire toavoid impending evils
which are as destructive to them as to
us, that we fully accord to them all
the legitimate results of emancipation
and the civil rights which flow from it,
that we further award to them all po-
litical privileges consistent with their
welfare and ours, for they can be hap
py and prosperous only in a country
governed by men Of intelligence and
character, and they have been invited
70 share with us the high duty and
honor of saving the country. They
have been assured that the turning the
country over to the ignorant, dishonest
adventurer must result in utter destruc-
ton to his race and the character Of
the men who tell them this, coupled
with three years Of mal-administration
and its consequent results of want, is
havingit influence among intelligent
freedmen, and the day is coming, if it
has not dawned when they will spew
from their mouths the scum which the
trace of revolution has foated in, while
it drowned and sunk every living prin-
ciple ofright.
The character and position Of the
gentlemen nominated for the various
offices is q guaranty of their fidelity to
the principles announced, and will
carry conviction to the minds of intelli.

District -

The Convention which assembled
at Columbia on Thursday stinyites
you to unite with them in defeating .
constitution devised by its trainers for
the purpose Of consolidating their po-
litical power, that they may secure
to themselves the spoils Of Office, ex-
cluding your race from all participa-
ton therein, savea few, Of a tempora-
aud limited character, by which they
think to lul you to sleep, for their
own ends, and unlawful purposes.-
We submit facts to you, that you may
see and judge for yourselves. Are
not all the Senators and Members Of
Congress, the Governor, the Adju-
tant and Inspector General, the Su-
perintendcnt Of Education, to be fill
ed by white men? Why? Is it not.
because they have attached to Them
large salaries? and yet, too, they are
to be filled by men who are actually
the interiors in respectability, to ma
ny of your own race and color. Is
there not . seliishness in all this that
must forcibly strike you in contrast
with their pretended zeal and con-
Germ for your welfare? To secure
these Offices are they not stirring up
your feelings against the very men
who furnish you the employment by
which you gain your bread? Is that
man your enemy who enables you to
support yourselves and families? Is
he your friend who, having no inter-
est here at stake, who tomorrow may
be gone, is always calling upon you
for this collection, for that small sum-.
who is actually picking your pock-
cts of your hard earnings for the:
support Of himself only until he cam
by professed friendship and contin-.
ued deception, the better tosecure his

ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC
IN THE GREAT FIGHT
AGAINST RADICAL. UsURPAT1oN.

TO TIE PEOPLE; OF THE SO UTH.
THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Deyoted to
the rehabilitation of the South in it's former
prosperity-is offered to subscribers at the
low rate of $3.50 for six months. tEnii!
The annals of the American Republic
show no political campaign comparable in
the magnitude of its issues and the mo-
nervousness of its results to that for the
Presidency, now pending. Indeed the
very life Of free government is on trial.
and it will be sad commentary on the
capacity of tho people for the exercise of
that high trust if they, the jurors who are
to try the issue, pronounce verdict of
self-condemnation. If the South has any
hope it is in the success of the Democratic
party in the coming Presidential election:
and every citizen is yitaly interested in
the progress of the battle, and cannot
afford to be without sound and reliable
newspaper. l:.r
AS an organ, not only of sound Demo.
cratic principles, but as q vehicle of gc-
neral news, the CLEANER is confidently
commended to Southern support. A large
eight-pagc paper, of forty-eight columns,
filed with tho contributions of able cor
respondents, the daily wealth of tcle-
graphic communication and readable edi-
torials. Especially will it be valuable as
an organ to disabuse the Northern mind
of the falsehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with. which it is the
industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison the springs of Northern feeling on
Southern subjects. In this view of the
matter, no moro valuable aid to the true
reconstruction of the country and restora-
tion of just sentiment at the North toward
the South can be rendered than by sub
scribing to the WEEKLY CLEANER and
ending it to acquaintapces and friends in
the Northern States.
We ask the aid of such OF our political
comrades as shall see this prospectus, in
the distribution of the paper; especially
during the progress of the impending
campaign.

every Wednesday morning, and mailed to
single subscribers at $500 per anum; Six

The ancient Japanese laws against
the emigration of the people are be-
ginning to be disregarded in the
existing confusions of the Mikado's
empire. Some time ago, between
three and four hundred of his sub
jects went away to Saigon to work
under contract, for some Dutch mer-
chants; and the latest accounts from
the Sandwich Islands say that an
English ship brought $50 japanese
emigrantsl to Honolulu, where they
were atronce taken possession of by
the emigration agents, and engaged
for three years to labor in the agri-
culture of the islands. 1

: SPECIAL NOTICES.

NATURE Is THE GREAT PHYSI-
CIAN.-This is now admitted, by the me-
dical profession, as fundamental princi-
pie of healing science. 1t is wisely
provided by the human economy that
whenever anything is wrong in the physi-
cal system, the natural forces Of the body
are brought to bear to expel the disease.
The great aim, therefore, is to strengthen
the natural powers. This has been kept
in view by the skillful ,compounders Of
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERs,
which operates to give fresh vitality to all
the organs Of the body. The effect of this
medicine upon the stomach, the liver and
the kidneys, is prompt and decisive. The
patient, who is wise enough to quit drug
ging and try the Bitters, soon feels as if
he had taken new lease of life, and as he
continues the use of the article he is over
joyed to find the streams of health cours-
ing through his frame. 1t is prepared
with great care, and its component parts
are entirely vegetable. 1t is free from the
objections so often urged against prepara-
tions Of the kind. AS a medical agent it
has no equal, while it's pleasing flavor and
healthful effects have made it general
favorite. 1t is free from all properties
calculated to impair the system, and it's
operations are at once mild, soothing and
efficient. All who have used Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters attest its virtues and
commend it to use. ,
Even those who are in the enjoyment of
perfect health frequently have need to
have recourse to tonics as prevcntives Of
disease. We are never too well armed
against the assaults of "the ills that flesh
is heir to-" In health or sickness this
tonic cannot be taken regularly without
giving vitality and elasticity to the sys-

We are aware that many are anxious for
the school to commence. In this anxiety the
Trustees share, and they intend to advertise
the opening Of the College as soon as they
can accommodate one small class.
ESTIMATES FOR THE CoMMNG YEAR The
immediate wants of the College, as nearly as
we can estimate, are as follows:
l. To build the laboratory building, ex-
elusive OF the materials now on hand, about
$1,000.
? A house for the Steward to live In.
where board and washing may be furnished
t. The students, $1,000.
3. To manufacture bricks and purchase
lumber Tor second dormitoIy building.
10 be built in the early part OF 1859, and
eady for use in September OF that year,
4. A large part of the farm needs draining,
and We propose the present year TO COM
mence the manufacture of tiles, and drain
from ten to twenty acres for immediate cul-
tivaton. We also propose to purchase suf-
fcient number OF milch cows TO eat up the
surplus OF hay on the farm. These two out
lays may require about 81 900.
In making these estimates we anticipate
no future wants OF the College. We simply
ask the friends of the institution for the
means needed to start the school and make
the farm profitable, Ii we ask for less we
should not be true to ourselves, to the friends
OF the Institution in the State, or to the Leg
islature.
