THE RIM UNION STILL UTTERING
FALsEHo0Ds ABOUT SOUTHERN
DEMOCRATS.

The "Senior Editor is still at his work
of classifying the position Of lie lding southern
democrats. IT. his Rim Union of this
morning, THE l7thl he says
The only point We intended to make in our
former article was, that Hampton and the other
'leading democrats" Of the south deserved no
credit for promising to "abide by the decision of
| the people" after that decision was irrevOcably
| given that the very fact Of their waiting until
after the late election To declare their position
| was the best proof that they had been nursing
| hopes Of n revolutionary overthrow of the state
| governments in their midst-Ris Union, I'm.
We know that is what you intended 10
debut it can't be done The INTENDED
point is falsehood the assertion Of which
exhibits either inexcusable ignorance or
willful dishonesty. As long ago as the 9th
of August at the democratic state eouyen
ton of South Carolina held at Columbia,
Wade Hampton introduced the following
resolution, which was unanimously adopted
Resolrea, That while entering our protest
1aiust the radical reconstruction acts, We rely
confidently on constitutional agencies and
| PEACEFUL MEASURES ALONE to bring US
the relief sought, md the reform needed.
And in that convention Wade Hampton
made speech, in which, abiding to the
receotIy.reported utterances of his, repro
duced in northern papers, in reference to
the confederate flag, he said
"This statement is in every respect false. On
the contrary, when l spoke o. the nag Of the con
F0REVER, no ',' BIZ BURIED IN THE GRAVE
Of the lost cause
Later still, the following telegram was
published IN al! the papers:
