II. S. FARROW.
To the People of South Carolina.
FELLow-CITIzENs: AS members of
your State Executive Committee-a
body which represents nearly every
white citizen of South Carolina-wc
feel it our duty to invoke your ear
nest efforts i'll the cause of peace and
the preservation of order. We beg
You to unite with us in reprobating
these recent acts OF violence, result
ing i'll the death of Martin, Randolph
and Nance, by which few lawless
and reckless men have brought dis
credit on the character Of our people,
though provocation in these cases may
have been given. No cause can pros
per which calls murder to its assist
ancc, or which looks TO assassination
for success. THE idea of assassina-
tion," said George McDuflie, "is so
absolutely abhorrent to all the feel
ings, the Christian feelings Of modern
times, and of such pernicious ten

thus unequivocally to express my
utter adherence of any proceeding
that may have the remotest tendency
to suggest it. Such course is not
only obnoxious to the adherence of
every honorable man, from its moral
atrocity, but from its political ten
dency."
Listen to the words of that patriot,
which seem to come from his grave,
to warn the people whom he loved so
devotedly. We can add nothing to
the weight of this great authority.
We can only appeal to you, to sup
port the laws, to preserve the peace
and to denounce those crimes which
have SO recently been committed in
some portions of our State. We
speak in behalf of the conservative
and law-abiding portion of the peo-
pie, who constitute, we feel assured,
nearly our entire white population,
and in their name we express en-
phaticnlly our adherence of such
acts; and we pledge ourselves to give
all the assistance in our power to
suppress them. We adjure all who
love their State, of all classes, white
and black, to be peaceable and quiet,
to lend their efforts te promote har-
mony and to quell dissension. We
ask those who are opposed to us,
politically, to unite with us to check
and discountenance all incendiary
language, whether uttered in public
or private, and to join us in the
efforts we are making for the pre-
servation of peace, the supremacy Of
law and the maintenance of order.
Lawlessness will endanger the peace
of the whole State, and will surely
bring disaster to all classes. Let us
all then, however we may differ in
politics, devote all our energies to
maintain the good character of our
State, and to promote better feeling
among our whole people.

A SAD STORY. laborers
were demolishing au old building on
Twenty-seventh street, New York, on
Tuesday, they discovered, in an old
rats nest, q roll Of bills, amounting
to $3.50. About eight years ago, one
of the occupants of the house lost
the money. At the time of this loss
q young man named William Cum
mings, clerk in a down town tea
store, was boarding in the house, and
as he was the last one seen in the
room prior to the loss, he was sus-
pected of the robbery, and, on being
arrested, was convicted of the crime
and sent to prison, with character
ruined and bereft of friends. He
gave way to dissipation, and eventu-
ally died on Blackwell Island.

THE CONGRESSIONAL REsULT.-The
election returns indicate that the De-
mocracy have gained one member of
Congress in Indiana, five in Ohio,
and two, perhaps three, in Pennsyl-
vania. In the language of the Nash
vile american, this is q gratifying
result, and gives encouragement to
hope that the remaining States to
vote this fall will give such additional
gains as will reduce the radical majo-
rity in the House of Representatives
below the thirds point. This
will be valuable result. It will pre-
vent that body exercising in conjunc-
tion with the radical Senate the ab-
solute tyranny it has lately welded.
There will be gain of several mem
bers in New York and West Virgil
mia, and sufficient from the Southern
States to accomplish this end. An
Infamous system of gerrymandering
in Indiana and Pennsylvania, has
alone prevented the accession of q
half q dozen more Democrats to the
Spartan band on the floor of the
House.
The election of that gallant gentle
man, Daniel W. Voorhees,, of Indi-
ana, is matter of special congratula-
tion, as is also the defeat Of the
notorious Ashley, in Ohio. Mr..
Vallandigham was defeated by less
than 500, and this is not to be won
dered at, when it is remembered that
his competitor was Schenck, the
Chairman OF the Military Committee,
and second member of the Ways and
Means, connected by marriage with
the whiskey ring, and dispenser
general of pickings and stealings.

FEI1owsC C1f1zENs AS the Presidens
tial election il near. az lie !. 5,-,,1 In
ita fitting. time to address you few
words. Among the Districts OF the
State to set in motion the Democra-
tic movement in South Carolina,
Richland was not the least, This is
o proud distinction for Columbia
and the District. Let us not forfeit
this reputation by inactivity and
lukewarmness in the coming election.
We know that the odds against us in
this District are great. We know
that we have to meet the misrepre-
sentation, the prejudices, the pas
sions, and the ignorance of our radi-
cal opponents. We know that recent
events, deplored by all good citizens,
have prejudiced our cause in the
minds of class of our voters.
But these circumstances should
serve but to nerve us to greater ex-
ertion, Our duty is the same, whether
or not our party shall carry the Dis
trict. We go into this fight upon
principle. Let the Democracy of
Richland, on November Sd. do its
whole duty. Let every member of
the party turn out and deposit his
vote for the nominees of the State
and the National Democracy. Let
every Club perfect and improve its
organization. Keep these organiza-
tions up. The Democracy of the
North is still firm, resolute and hope
full. Seymour has taken the field, in
person. He will bring out distinctly
the true issues of the canvass. Bat
tie is again to be joined with our po-
litical foes in behalf of the great
principles Of constitutional freedom.
In the South, we require return to
cheerful, wholesome self-govern-
ment." Seymour's election will pave
the way to this result, SO essential to
the interests of property and the
rights and peace of our section of
the Union.
Fellow citizens, here in Columbia,
the capital of the State, and in Rich
land, the central District of the State,
let us keep burning the fires of De-
mocracy. Let us determine that the
principles of the National Democra-
tic party shall remain power and an
influence in this State. Let the De-
mocratic party, in victory or in de-
feat. preserve its organization, re-
solved by discreet methods and peace
full agencies, sooner or later, to make
its noble banner wave in triumph
the rights of all secure under its am
pie folds.
To the young men-to the young
Democracy, especially-would we APP
peal. They have the ardor, the en-
ergy and the enthusiasm which the
workers in canvass ought to illus
trate. Resort to no violence what
ever. In spirit, be sober and dis.
Greet; but by every legitimate means,
promote the interests of your party
and vindicate your principles by the
ballot.
Fellow-Democrats, let us, one and
all, do our duty, and redeem our
State from the rude grasp OF radi-
calism.
For the Committee.

Friends, Once nIore.''
The news from the North is en-
oouraging. The grand army of the
Democracy keeps the field, fills up
its columns, re-adjusts its lines,
stands eager for the fray, and calmly
prepares for the next assault upon the
enemy's lines. Our great leader has
taken his place at the head, and
already his manly and truthful and
inspiriting utterances havegone forth.
Often have we found the tide of bat
tie turned by the prompt movement
and immediate presence of the COM
mander-in-chief. So, now, in the
supreme hour of the canvass upon
which the destiny of the Republic
hangs, Seymour goes into the field;
and why may he not turn the tide?
Why may we not indulge the conf
dent expectation that his luminous
addresses will have the effect of
bringing over to- the Democracy n
sufficient number of conservative
Republicans to change the result of
the recent elections, at least in Penn
gylvania and Iadiana2 Gov. Sey-
mour will bring out before the North
the real issues of the canvass and the
outrages and the enormities of the
radical party. His rhetoric is at
tractive, his logic is irresistible, his
oratorical powers are unequalled in
the country. He wields the weapon
Of truth-he waves the wand of elo-
quence.
Let us in the South not give up.
Our friends in the North stand firm,
hopeful, resolute. Let us work on.
Away with yonr weak-kneed Demo
Gratis. Away with your fenoe-strad-
dlers. Let every true Democrat
stand fast by his colors. Be hope
full. Have faith. See no signs in
the skies but those that portend vic.
tory. When it rains, say that nature
weeps for the crimes, the follies, the
errors and the extravagancies OF
radicalism. When the sun bursts
forth in all his brilliancy, lighting
up Heaven and earth, say that it is
the sun of Austerliiz for us and ou,
cause
oh, that we could infuse into the
soul of every Democratic man the
enthusiasm, the faith. the hope, the
energy and the resolution that fill
onr own breast Then would every
member of the party rush to the
standards of the Democracy, bear
them up and on, and make them float
in triumph. Pr
In the recent elections, the forces
OF the Democracy met with re.
Z pulse, not a defeat. We repeat the

tsinly Is justly regarded as having
been foisted npon the State--a few
whites only having voted for him,
No doubt he was. regarded less OBJ
jeotionable than any resident or na-
tive member of the radical party, yet
he cannot be said to be an Executive
elected by the voice of an untram-
meled people. Under these circum-
stances, it became Gov. Scott to act
with unusual circumspection. Not
possessing the confidence of the
whites, it would have been wise in
him, by impartial conduct, at least,
to have deserved their confidence
Under any circumstances. "conf-
dence is plant of slow growth"
Under existing circumstances, Gov
Scott ought to have expected to find
it of peculiarly slow growth. Now,
what has been his course in the main?
We desire to do no injustice to Gov.
Scott, but we have reason to affirm
that he has exercised his high Office
In the interests of the radical party.
We have seen the evidences of this
on more than one occasion. We have
reference now to his recent proclama-
tion, which has brought forth such
rebukes from Newberry, Anderson
and Union, and other Districts stig-
matized by the Governor, iu paper
bearing the great seal of the State.
That proclamation seeks to fix upon
the Democratic party certain acts of
violence recently committed, whilst
counter outrages are not enumerated.
That proclamation does not do good
in this State, is full of prejudice, par
tisanship and mis-statements, and
looks not to peace. But if it be not
q good State paper for South Caro-
lima, it is good campaign document
for the canvass, in the interest Of the
radical party. Saying this, we have
said enough. The proclamation will
do to go along with Hoge's account
of his exodus from the up-country.
The Governor writes like partisan,
and the valiant Hoge flies like the
wicked, when no man pursueth.

THE DAILY APPEAL.

The GRAND UNION RALLY LAST EVEN
ING.-The Theater was crowded last evening
by an eager, enthusiastic crowd of Unionists,
who met together to ratify the nominees and
platform of the National Republican Union
Convention. General Edwards was called
to the chair, who, upon accepting that posi-
ton made brief and stirring speech which
was received with hearty applause. Judge
Wells was nominated for Secretary, but de-
clned, when Mr.. Mighels was selected for
that position. The following resolutions, Of
fered by Lieut.. Gov. Slingerland, were unan-
imously adopted:
Resolred. That the Union men of Ormsby
county hail with feelings of just pride the
nominations recently made at Chicago for
President and ice President of these Cnited
States.
Resozred, That in our standard bearer,
General Grant, we recognize those sterling
qualities Of head and heart which pre-emi-
nently fit him for the Presidential chair, now
contaminated by the presence Of a dwelling
traitor.
Resolred. That the unwaverng fidelity to
principle ever manifested by our candidate
for Vice President, Schuyler Colfax, merits
our warme>i commentator and the cordial !
support of all loyal men,
Resoired, That we will labor earnestly and
zealously far the success OF the National Re |
publican Union tickle. from now until cleo |
tion-believing as we do tina, by electing our |
nominees, treachery and vacciilating expe- |
diency will cease at the White House, and |
" treason be made odious indeed"
Judge Beatty then called for and he
made short speech, congratulating the
party upon the nominations and platform
and calling upon Union men to put forth
their most earnest efforts in support thereof.
His remarks were heartily applauded. He
was followed by Judge Thomas Wells, who
made thrilling and eloquent cfFort-one
of the very best of his lie. The Chairman
then read the Platform, following the reading
of which, Mr.. Mighels offered the following
as supplemental to the resolutions already
adopted:
Resolved, That the Platform put forth BY
our National Convention, rejecting as il
does, frankly, firmly and unmistakablv, the
genuine, living principles of the party, meets
with our cordial, unqualified approval.
This resolution was unanimously adopted
Mr.. Hoover, late Corporation Attorney for
Virginia City, was present, and being called
upon, made short speech, replete with !
good points, winding up with pledge that
Storey county should give Grant and Colfax
a handsome majority in November. The
Carson Brass Band was in attendance and ,
'nlivened the occasion with some of their
pest tunes. The meeting adjourned with
hree cheers for grant and Colfax.
