The Spartan advises the people not to vote
at all at the ratification elections. It says:
Shall we vote against it (the constitution,
the true and lawful citizens being in hops
less minority or would it be more expressive
of our hate, and, at the same time, show to the
world that We recognize no legality in the
power which thrusts it upon us, not to vote at
all We would not take this position as one OF
defiance, for though armed with truth and
right. defiance is not for the weak; but we
would adopt it as the most dignifed and ex-
pressive attitude the powerless can assume
against the acts of those who are working their
humiliation and ruin. Again, We believe that
ours is that peculiar situation where suplne-
ness is more effectual than action in accom-
plishing the object we desire. Action on our
part but begets excitement, and this excite
ment will produce unanimity and concert OF
action on the part Of our enemies, and array
them in more solid phalanx, If possible, than at
present. Non-action in our case is really ac-
tion-not less effectual and far more becoming.

The Columbia Phoenix is going into the fight
with q will, and, in column leader, urges i'm
mediate action. 1t says:
It is now absolutely necessary that every
man shall cast his vote, in order to save tie
State from the direful calamity Of such rule
as this To withhold your vote and influence
now, is to permit the black yoke to press upon
your necks. Look at it! /. Universal suf-
frage to all, except the horse, the dog, and the
cat. 2. The forcing Of your children to the the
same schools with all Others, no matter how
vile OF immoral: .. Taxes levied upon you by
those whc nold no property, but who will i'm
pose the taxes, yet pay none Of them. 4. No
qualification for Office educational or o,her-
wise), except that you shall believe in Supreme
Being. s. No Judiciary that shall possess the
dignity OF the learning necessary to command
respect or administer the law. Let us haw
the line and prepare to meet the issue that is
Just immediately before US. Let us tell the
people Of this Slate, white and black, what we
mean to do. To temporize now is to be un.
done. Let us act like men with the blood Of
the Anglo-Saxon race in our veins, and we may,
with the blessings Of the good God, yet save
something to society, something to the con-
stitutlon, something to the Union, and some
thing to Republican liberty.
