has stated to me distinctly that he had With
drawn from the nomination us Judgciof bro
bate, before my article of last week was lhb-
lshcd, l am willing TO correct My articlcS to
that extent I had not heard of his withdnw-
Al, nor had any publicity been given to itin
tho Distri>t
But ut the ramO time, io wished me to in
dcrstand distinctly that his reason for with
drawing was not because lie had rcccivedthc
nomination at the hands of the Republican
party; but that he was in business alreSdy
that paid better. Now, as Mr.. Sturgeon shtcs
that he is not candidate for official honorkat
tho hands of the Republican Party, no mater
what his reasons were for the same, consider
it matter of justice to correct my mistaksto
that extent
Still, MIR. Editor, 1 am Little bifz-

Our Duty.

1t is high time that the people should aNf
Gil to the issues before them. Unity Of ac#l
and concentration of our best energies ardthe

n grSat many Of, tho field negroes arc SO igno-
rant as to believe voting for nominee, the
initiatory step upon which is based the compul-
sorry voting thereafter for the same man
throughout. The first move they regard us
the groundwork Of n structure they arc COM
PEELED to erect and once taken, construc it as
the height of infdclity to abandon. Better
organization and more perfect concert of action
never characterized any party than at present
exist in the negro element Of South Carolina.
at the polls, they go almost to a man for the
candidate of their choice. They hold meet
ngs, and attend at the political speeches of
their leaders, and thus the ties of affYfiation are
strengthened by the very presence of numbers.
Any one familiar with the nature of the negro
cannot gainsay that his inclination is, and al
ways has been, such as to follow some one
whom he looks upon in the light of Lead
er." There is always in every community
among them, some King Bee, around which
they cling with the tcnacity of the more indus
trous insect. And it is by influencing these
functionarics, that their subjects are brought
under the protecting wing of Radicalism.
These arc the agencies which Randolph and
men of his ilk, dupc, and which they employ
to dupc the ignorance Of the rustic negro
Thus by influencing one man, probably fifty or
q hundred converts are made
And cannot the white man, the representa-
tive of worth and intelligence, exercise as
much influence over the cOlorcd population, as
those political adventures and rencsadcs,
whose motives aspire to nothing beyond the
emolumcnts of Office, and the character Of
whose principles are such as to incur the CON
tempt Of any decent man. Superiority will
control infcriorty wherever the test is fairly
and squarcly made. Some persons say there
is no use in trying to control the negro in the
coming elections, that the Radicals have the
advantage, inasmuch as they were tho first to
inculcatc their doctrines. These arc mistaken
ideas. Within the last week thirty negroes
have been induced to sign the Democratic roll!
lat Louisville, and in a week more there will
no doubt be hundred. In Columbia tho
colorcd people have Democratic club Of their
own. This shows what Il little energy and
per cvcrancc will acc ,mplsh. AS long us our
people remain in the state of lcthargy into
which they have fallen, 50 long will the infu-
cncc of Radicaism control the negro vote, and
no longer
