Don't Exasperate Them,

Some Of our friends wished to lose
ono-half of tho victory before going
into the fight, to alienato tho soldiers
vote, and kill all enthusiasm in tho
canvass by nominating Chase, cx.
claiming "don't cxasporato thcm," as
if such tactics cvor conquered a despo.
ratio foo. Now that wo hayo started, :,
right here in Winnsboro, tho ball in
motion, which woll.rollcd, will render
utterly Insignificant and contempti
bio tho wild legislation proposed by
our General assembly pro. tem.,
which will completely break its powor
for evil, and make its membors look
wild from the whites Of thoir eyes cvon
for their rations, wo arc told, Eve
agrco with you. Wo undoubtedly
will rcpudiatc their dirty paper. We
certainly will, in four months, or at
least in four years, havc it in our pow
or to do 50. "But why exasperate
them y We roply, little oxaspora-
tion won't hurt law-makors drawing
eleven dollars day from tho coffors
of an impoverished State. Besides q
little agitation is necessary. For the
President Of the Blue Ridge Railroad
and tho Charleston Board of Trade
have requested tho aid of the credit
of tho Negro General Assembly pro.
tem., and tho indignant voice of tho
State should be hoard, like the low
muttoring of tho thiokoning storm
which hangs upon tho horizon Of tho
future. So wo kill these financial
schemes of plumber in. embryo, we can
stand tho transportation" Of thoir
authors. The tax payershavc but to
speak out, and their bonds, will not
bring iivo cents on the dollar. Cred
it, says Governor Scott, who has spec
ulatod largely in South Carolina State
bonds, els tho life Of Stato." II so,
thcro is not much lifo In our presont
bayonet-born Negro Governments
Still loss life will there bo in its bonds.
Ant Governor, you'haSe done'a good
and sure thing, for we will make good

as wise as a common man for onoe,
and don't touch your own paper. "A
sensible man, and q prudent, should

WITH SUPPLEMENT.
THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.

When night shall again draw its sable
mantle DER the earth it will shut out the
light of day forever from the year 1868.
The last day of the old year! How
sadly it sounds! Three hundred and
sixty-fiye days and six hours more, with
all the records of cares and sorrows, COM
forts and joys, have been rolled together
like scroll and laid away in the vast
archives of Time, there to remain in
silence and gloom till Time shall be no
more.
But the hour which records the death
of the Old, heralds the birth of the New,
and ere our eyes are dry from the tears
shed at the departure of the former we
turn with rejoicing to greet the advent
of the latter Such is life The past
can no longer be of service to US; the
privileges it offered, have been accepted
or rejected the opportunities it afforded
have been improved or spurned aside
We all feel this, and with an intense long
ing we turn to the Future to discern, if
so we may, what it hath in store for us.
'Tis well. With our hearts purified by
past affiiction, with our better impulses
stimulated by its joys, let us enter upon
the duties before us, trusting we shall
make advancement in wisdom and enjoy
to its fullest extent the HAPPY, GLAD
New YEAR!
