A Democratic Opinion on Sey
mours Financial Platform.

We have been particularly i'm
pressed, since reading the Jaeobiu
platform adopted at Chicago, with its
almost exact accordance, touching
the finances, tho national credit, and
taxation, with Governor Seymour's
views, as expressed in his celebrated
speech at the New York Bopdhold-
ers Convention last winter. Scan the
two and compare them carefully. and
you will fud scarcely any difference.
How true 1t il that the friends of the
bondholders in either party, think
alike, feel alike, and act alike! With
them the interests of their masters,
the bond lords, are paramount to all
others. What a beautiful fix we

The Demise of the Hon. Edward Frost.
Our community was saddened yesterday by
the announcement Of the decease Of the Hon.
Edward Frost.
Judge Frost has long been known as one
of our most valued and high toned citizens.
He belonged to South Carolina. Upon1her
soil be was born, and here he could look
back upon an honored and virtuous ancestry.
He was identified with our history and in-
stitutions.
EARLY in life he graduated at the Bar, and
for many years discharged the duties Of this
high vocation with credit and ability. He
was appointed, under Democratic admins
tration, United States District Attorney. In
the crisis Of 1882 his devotion to Lis State
proved superior to his attachment to office.
Rather than be the instrument of enforcing
what hD believed to be the unconstitutional
Tariff Laws against his people he resigned
his position and surrendered his Office.
He was elected by the Legislature, one Of
the Judges OF the State for life, a position
never heretofore conferred, except where
ability was combined with great of character.
He remained'upon The bench for over ten
years, administering justice and dispensing
right with en- even hand. His mind and
temper was essentially Judicial, and yet with
al, combined with d gentleness Of disposition,
and a serenity of manner, which bespoke the
sound Judgment and rure heart.
His resignation Of the Judicial Office was
universally regretted. This was the highest
evidence both of his fitness for the position
and of Inc fidelity with which be had worn
the ermine. Politically, Judge Frost was Of
the States Rights faith. He served repeated-
ly in the Legislature, as delegate from
Charleston, and was at one time the Chairman
of its Delegation. His manner OF debate was
clear, forcibie and argumentative. Ills iuter
est in internal Improvements was warm aud
decided. This he exhibited throughout the
whole of his career The completion OF the
Blue Ridge Rail Road. by which the products
of the West might be brought to the waters
of the A>hley, was an object of his earnest
devotion and aspiration. To this enterprise
he gave his energies and his abilities. For
many wears he was President of the road.
Throughout his career of over sixty years
it may we'll be said Of him,
"He keep the whiiencss Of his SOUL"
IF there was one characteristic more than
any other which distinguished him, it was his
great purity Of character and "cnse OF deVo.
ton 10 duty. He was pre-eminently one Of
those men with whom the duties oil lie were
more important than lie itself.
At time when he seemed most in vigor,
and wien there appeared promise of many
wears to come, the summons came, and he
bowed to the mandate. A virtuous, worthy
and respected citizen bias gone. But the re-
collection of his virtues and talents remain
as the richest Ct all legacies to the community
and State which deplolo death his.-Charles-
ton Courier, 22d.

Shall EdgefieId be Behind :?

In Charleston, on Friday night last, there took
place a grand Seymour and Blair ratification
meeting-the most elaborate, enthusiastic and
magnificent demonstration, perhaps, which ever
occurred in that city. From eight to ten thou
sand people nrc reported to have reen in attcn-
dance. Gen. Hampton was the guest of the city
on this occasion, and his speech before the as
sembled multitude was in the highest degree elo-
quent, spirited and cheering. This speech we will
endeayor to lay before our readers next week.
The other speakers at this great Ratification
Meeting were Hon. Charles H. Simonton, Hon.
James B. Campbell, and Hon. A. P. Aldrich.
Those distinguished gentlemen, all lately re-
turned from tho New York Convention, on all hay-
ing closely studied the political horizon in The
North, East, and West, united in expressing thebes
lief that the day of our de!iverauce from Radical
despotism is assurodly drawing nigh.
Things are getting warm. The situation Is
interesting. The immediate future seems preg-
nant with events likely to excite, to startle, to
convulse Perhaps there is about to be q shock
like the collision of two planets in mid air.
The Radical faction in Congress sees plainly
that it is to be defeated in November next; and,
acting upon Thad. Stevens maxim, outside the
Constitution" they are unmstnknbly preparing
to nudity the fiat Of the people, and to maintain
that fAis Congress shall be the Government for
nil time to come Let the collision como if it
must. We pray that the Democracy may DO as
firm as Mount Atlas, whose broad shoulders Gid
not stoop beneath the burden of tho sky. Ger
tain is it that the worst has already come. The
worst is now upon us. Nothing can possibly be
worse that what Congress has already inaugura-
ted
But We Lave strayed from our first intention
We have asked: "Shan Edgefcld be behind ?"
We mean as regards joyous demonstrations over
the lato noblo Democratic Nominations, and in
evidences of high determination to rise and leave
nothing unried to LIT again upon her sovereign
shoulders the liberties that rightfully belong
there.
The Central Executive Committee of the Demo-
cratic Party of Edgchcld have recommended that
graud Ratification Meeting be held on the fourth
Monday in August. We believe that such a
Meeting will be held, and on large scale. We
know that number of distinguished statesmen
and orators have already been invited to bo pres
ent. And shall we not on this occasion slay sheep
and oxen and prepare mighty feast? And
open our doors, with unsintcd hospitality, to all
who shall come? This thing ought to bc done |!

Mr. Enron II deem it expedient to cay
few things to the people of EdgeGeld in relation
to my recent electionsto very important and
responsible offics-the more so as there have gone
forth some reports detrimental to my reputation
Fret, This Office was not one of.my seeking.
1 did not know that my name was before the
people as . candidate, nor that there was any
such officer rs " Commissioner of Public Schools
until was informed of these things on my arrival
in Augusta, some two weeks after the eleetion had
transpired.
Second, The election resulted as it did in the
face Of the fact, tina. upon two public occasions,
T have declared that was member of no po-
litical party, but consistent Union man. was
one before the war, and during the war; and ex-
pect to continue ono as long as there is frog
ment of the Union, Or o shred Of the Union flag
left. 1t Is wen known among my friends that for
moro than ten years past, L have regarded the
q. S. Government as symbolized under the Stone
Kingdom of prophetic vision, which il destined
Europe,--political and religious,--and to turn
an men loose in the enjoyment of "lifes, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness" will not stop to
argue the correctness of these views,--they may
not be correct; but admitting them to be wrong
as long aa believe them to be right, they exert
the same influence upon mo as if they were SO
and therefore, in the construction of my political
platform, I have but two planks on which te
stand: The perpetuation of the q. S. Govern
ment, and Freedom to the Human Race.
As regards tho system of Public Schools about
to be inaugurated in the State, fully agree with
Gov Scott that the interest of oil parties requires
that the White and Colored Schools should be
kept separate, and sincerely hope the Legisla'
ture will act in accordance with his advice. Lei
this be done, and il will give me hnppiness to
come to the discharge of the high committed,
to me, with all the energy and Importantly that
can command. Otherwise, I fear lest this grand
.chemc of popular education, fraug ht with bless,
ings to the poor, will provo failure.
Very Respectfully,
