| But the WOTi0 lS IN QOuDG now Gno
Democratic party shall practically do
away with negro suffrage, after its
consummation under State Govern
ments de facto. We reply, that where
there is ,oiA there will be found a
,say. We suggest. also, in answer to
all the difficulties suggested by the
World, that, if the reconstruction
Acts are unconstitutional, ali enacted
under their auspices falls null and
void to the ground. And, with other
things enacted, unqualified negro
suffrage is uprooted, to give way to
an arrangement more conducive to
the interests of the South.
Further, if negro suffrage has been
forced upon the South by the radical
purity, the same power that made it
can unmake it. If radicalism gave,
Democracy certainly can find the
means to take away.
Nor need there be any violence
used. If the radicals, without vio-
lence, have forced upon the Southern
States negro suffrage, then Demo-
cracy can, without violence, relieve
us of this burden.
We have thus answered the argu-
ments of the World. Nor are we
without hope for this journal. AS it
dropped Chase, when it found that the
Democratic sentiment repudiated the
Chief Justice for its standard bearer,
SO we may hope that the World will also
forego its views upon the question of
negro suffrage, when it becomes con-
vinced Shat the great Democratic
party will not only demand, Demo-
crdt for its standard bearer, but will
also insist upon having standard
upon which Caucasian emblems shall
be distinctly emblazoned.

Soon will the National Democratic
Convention give us standard bearer,
and write our principles upon his
flag. Let NIL good, and true, and
conservative men in the State pre-
pare to rally around that man, and to
accept those principles. The one we
expect to be truo, tried and trusty,
and the other to be wise, moderate
and judicious. Friends Of The Slate,
South Carolina is not yet lost It is
true that she passes for awhilc-her
body passes-into alien hands; but
the immortal soul of the ancient
commonwealth can not be fettered
or corrupted. The negro and his
white brother may lay their impious
hands upon the body Of the State,
but her proud spirit escapes and finds
refnge in the bosom of her faithful
children, who preserve the memories
of the past, and intend to give her
yet bright future. Carolinians, q
brother appeals to you. For Heaven s
sake, for the sake of homes and fire
sides. for the sake of all we hold dear
of persons and property, let us rally
in our strength and save the COM
monwealth. We have much to con-
tend for. We have noble State to
redeem. Its soil is fertile; its eli
mate is genial; its women are true,
and gentle, and noble; its men are
loyal, and true, and brave; its senti-
ments and traditions are full of pa
triotic inspiration; its past is heroic;
lis .tttt'ue-let as make IL prosperous
and bright. And this is the duty OF
the hour-to make The future Of The
STATE prosperous and bright. But to
do that, We must overthrow radical
ism and all its bitter fruit. We must
take away from negroes and South
ern renegades and Northern carpet
baggers," the reins of power, and
ourselves again drive the car of State.
But to do this, we must take up the
