arouse themselves to the issue-shake of in
difference and dependency. This, with all its,
misfortunes and degradation, is still our coun-
try; and every instinct OF manhood and patriot

The Georgetown Times says in regard to
the Democratic nominations "On Saturday,
when the news of the nomination of Seymour
and Blair reached our town, it was really pleas
ant to see the smiles and happy faces Of many
Of our citizens, while across the Bay-street
two large United States flags waved in the
breeze, on one of which was inscribed: The
country will be safe in the hands of Horatio
Seymour and F. P. Blair We congratulate
the country, and more particularly ly our own
organization Of party that has been SO long
divided party that knows no North. no
South, no East, no West, but determined to
battle for the reconstruction Of that constltu-
ton which has been so long lost to the country
Of a Washington and Jefferson-to protect
the inferior race while We are determined to
maintain the supremacy Of the superior"
The Sumter Watchman speaks thus Of the
message Of Ex-Gov. Orr: "lt were better pro-
badly for Gov. Orr and others OF the State who
seem to occupy sort Of go-between position
who have NOT connected themselves with the
Democratic party and who are not yet avowed
Radicals-to declare themselves on the side to
which they belong-we mean to take their
place in the Radical ranks. Such course
would be more satisfactory to both parties.
The Democratic party, in the time to come, Will
this trying crisis, abandon their own race, the
constitution, the country, and all that.is hon.
orable and sacred, to the mercy Of the mlser-
able rabble now in authority. And those who,
occupying positions as pubic men in the past,
have no heart now to engage, and engage man
fully, with us in the effort to throw OF the de-
bauched and odious tyranny under which we
now struggle cannot be recognized except in
O position against Us. The issue is most
vital one-one involving too much that is dear
and sacred to be tri1ed with. Those who are
not with US now, must be against us."
The Chester Standard floats the names Of
Seymour and Blair at it's masthead. It says !:
{ To insure the success Of our ticket every good
Democrat must put his shoulder to the wheel,
and exert all his powers Of mind and muscle.
There must be no lukgwarmness, no bringing

JUDGES OF other days-an must push and pull
together. As was the action OF the Convention
so let the people act. We must stand united,
or defeat is certain If beaten in the approach
ing contest all is lost-Democracy will have
made its last tight, aud the Goddess Of Liberty
no longer wear her cap Of freedom. Let Union,
energy and action be the watchword, and the
Radical shacSles now binding the limos OF the
American people will cease to oppress, and
Democracy stand forth triumphantly vindicat-
ed in the election of Seymour and Blair. We
can and must carry the old Palmetto STATE;
Aye, and old Chester with her heavy Radical
'iajority must be brought into the DEMOCRATIC
old. With energy, action, union and good
