4.SLet every Democrat york for
the cause, and exert all the influence
he has ingits behalf, from this time
'untiEthe election in November As
Mr.. Burt has suggested, let every
man make himself Democratic cam
vasser, and every family resolve itself
into Democratic club.
B. Let every man register; let
every man vote; and when the time
comes to vote, let naught but insu-
perable difficulties prevent a voter
from depositing his Democratic BAL
lot. Let every man vote himself,
and induce as many as he can to vote
for the Democratic nominees. And
if the colored man feels that he can
not vote for the Democratic candi-
dates, and yet cannot, and will not,
vote against his Southern friends,
whose interests aro the SAINT as his
own, then tell him to stay et home,
hoe his corn and potatoes, and not
cote at diL, 49,.
This, fellow-citizens, is the way to
victory. Let this programme be
faithfully adopted, from the noun
taips to the seaboard, and we will
carry the State for the Democracy.
Make grand effort to win. Use
every legitimate means to do this.
No greater cause ever demanded
your energies. The questions in
volved reach the hearth stone and
include the interests of peace and
property. In South Carolina, we
want peace for the benefit of both
races. We want all the industries of
the State to revive; we want wealth !;
we need capital; we require immigra-
ton; we desire to see South Carolina
once more rejoicing in harmonious
population, in the rule of intelli-
gence and virtue, in an era of plenty
and prosperity. But this great re-
suit, this industrial and peaceful re-
generation of the State, is utterly
impossible under the present regime,
and can be consummated, and con-
summated alone. under the auspices
of the National Democratic party.
Party triumph must precede the
ends we seek, and we can accomplish
the rescue and redemption of our
State and our country only by pass
ing over the victorious field of the
National Democracy in November
next. Let every true Carolinian,
therefore, rally around the flag of
that time-honored party, higher in
its tone and purer in principles now
than ever before, and resolve to
make it triumphant, even in the un-
equal contest that we wage in South
Carolina.
Let the people OF South Carolina,
so long in the vale of despair, be
now of good cheer. Even now the
halo of success plays around the ad-
vancing columns of the grand army
of the Democracy, and the light of
victory gilds its snow-white banners.
In our own State, abundant crops
of corn promise to reward the ener-
gies of labor and the advances of
capital. Heaven seems to smile upon
hitherto chastened people, tried in
the horrors of war and tried in the
greater horrors of so-called peace;
and with corn filling up the farmers
barn, and cotton whitening his fields,
and Democracy triumphant. the ides
of next November will secnre to us
the fruits of peaceful victory, and
the promise of purer and better days
for the State and the country.
