Commissioner Of INN;

EXTRAoRDIEARY DEMOCRATIC RE ACTION
In Souru CAgoL1NA.-The telegraph inform.
ed us Yesterday that the Democrats had gain
ed majority of the Districts in South Caro-
lima at the recent local election, having Sc
cured sixteen out of the thirty-one Districts.
There are ABOUT five white Districts in the
State-Spartanburg, Qconee, Greenyille, Al
derson and Chesterfield. But this gives only
a.faint idea of the extraordinary Ie action in
the popular vote in the State as. compared
with the vote on the new Constitution. We
find that in Union County the Democratic
gain has been nearly two thousand, in Ker.
shaw over seventeen hundred, in Laurens
over thirteen hundred, in Chester over one
thousand, acd SO on throughout the State.
These local elections show the strength of the
Conservatives in South Carolina; and are in
dicative Of what they are capable Of doing
when they bring out their entire force. Beside
the practical benefit locally of the Conserva-
tiVes in the South polling a full votet the NOR
al effect in the North and West is highly i'm
portant aud we suggest that hereafter, at
every election, there be united effort in all
the Southern States to bring out every Com
servative vote that can be relied upon. We
have always believed that the white Conser-
vatives, with such sensible coored voters as
are not under the thumb screws OF the Radl-
cal carpet-baggers and submissive to arbi-
trary military direction, are capable of con-
trolling every State in the South. 1t would
be curious, but to us not unexpected event,
to find the Southern States instrumental in
elecing Democrat as the next President of
the United States. They can do it ifthey try.

Emigration from the South.

In nthe New York Journal of Commerce Of
the 18th instant, appears a letter dated from
the steamship Guiding Sta1, Caribbean Sea,
May 10Th, 1868, from which we make the
following extract; =; -
"-on the decks below throng 600 pessen.
gers, some Of them buo:uess men residing in
: San Francisco or2Qther parts of the Pacific
slope, but they aretah mostiys emigrants from
the Southern States, seeking land where
they may be permitted to obtain q subsis-'
tence. The accounts given by these men of
the condition of the South are truly y,deplora,
BILE. They speak for nearly all sections, but
the most numerous representatives are tren,
Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi, embra-
cling the large alluvial districts where negro
labor is almost the sole dependence. l az,
struck with the remarkable. large proportion
who are educated men, graduates Of our liter,
ary institutions, or who formerly were ipRu-
entail in mercantile life, like DR.. B.. of Me-
bile, few years ago the possessor of large
capital, but now fugitive. All alike aban-
don their homes in absolute despair, and ex..
press belief that we're it possible to COM
mand means adequate to effect removal,
emigration would commence on an extensive
scale. Their last hope yields TO g convictien
that the negro will not work, added to
which is the prospect that in Severa! States
negro majorities will soon have everything
their own way. California, i'll the estimation
of large numbers Of Southern men, is now
the land of promise, and there appears no res.
son to doubt that low fares across the istbmus
OF Panama or the completion of the Pacific
Railroad would give to this movement of pop.
ulation powerful stimulus"
This is sad picture. 1t is deporable to
think of our people being driven from their;
homes by the internal legislation Of a Radical
Congress. But having borne with and suffer-
ed this condition ofafairs. SO long, they sboal!l
summon up fortitude enough, to struggle on o
little longer. Every day is bringing us near
er to our deliverance. A year hence this
question will be solved in the interest of the
South, and tho Southern people will be rid,
in great measure, of the evils which have
SO .grlevously oppressed them. The success
of The Democratic party in the coming Pres:-.
dental election will bury for many year
the questions which now distract Us, and the
authors and abettors of the injustice aud op-
preston which has been inflicted on the
South, will leave for more congenial climes.
II is therefore, criminal on the part OF our
people to leave the South at this particular
juncture when the future looks SO promising.
Properly of every description must be sacrili.
ced if sold now. There are none, we take it,
who want to so away and dleave their property
behind with the hope of returning, Should the
South regain her Constitutional rights. There
fore the peopleof the South should stand firm
ly together, and help to defeat this Radical
conspiracy, which is falling to pieces frpm its
own Inherent rottenness.-Chroniclc & SEN

Southern Recreancg-. White Radicals

We are not disposed to indulg in the Ian
guage of abuse and Remuneration, norifclin-
ed to bring into uncailed-for question mems,
motives. Relying upon the force of fair ar
eumentation, we would rather confute error
than denounce its worshippers. Blu; there's
one point upon which, as we conceive, il is.
difficult for one in thee times to think too;
strongly. or to express himself too severely.s
There are times and these are Of them, when
stern justice demands that words of truth
should 60 forth to wither and blast them who
would degrade gallant people, and Gx upon
the men and women Of their section a yoke
more CALLING and ignominious than ever Goth,
Vandal or Hun soughtto. impose upon con-.
quered peoples. Our remarks pertain 10
tnose white men of our section, who have unit;
ed with the radical, of the North and the,
freedmen of the South, to fix upon the Souit
negro supremacy, OF the domination of sn inr
ferior race. There is some excuse for the
course of the colored people, .nisersbly mista-
ken asitss has been. Power was offered to
them, and it was natural for them to grasp
it, although it was to turn into viper and I'LL
timately to infict upon the lind that seized
it, fatal sting. Blu; what Shall be said of
that aUAite man, who,. forgetful of the ties of
blood, and of the claims Of kindred, aud who;
recreant to the God-implanted sympathies Of
race, turns upon his own section, end hounds
on the pack Of wolves that seek to attack the
whites Of the South evenin their very homes?
These Southern recreants may for awhile pug
sue their unhallowcd schemes-tnay seek to
obliterale all the. aucent landmarks OF our
land-may spit upon the traditions Of our.
past-unly trampe upon the graves Of our
dead. and ssek to degrade the living butwe

From the Banner of the South.

Such are the words with which Gen. Grant
accepts the nomination of the Republican
party, as their candidate for the Presidency
of the United States. "Let US have peace"
Why nota Is there aught to prevent it?
Yes; the rod of the Tyrant is here to prevent
it. The suferings of ruined people are
here to prevent it. The injustice of wicked
and designing men is here to prevent it. And
so we say now, as one of the Fathers of the
Republic said, when the " "clankiug of the
chains was heard on Bunker HILL" as it is
now heard upon every Southern hill and in
every Southern valley: +" Gentlemen may cry
peace, when there is no peace."
Is that peace, which drags citizen from
bis quiet home and throws him into loatb-
some dungeons, without giving him even the
poor satisfaction of informing him OF the
charges against him ?
Is that peace, which girdles election polls
with bayonets, and yet refuses profession to
the voter who will not cast his ballot for the
dominant party?
Is that peace, which keeps ten States under
CALLING subjcction, forcing upon them Con-
ventions and Constitutions not of their choice
prostrating the energies of the people, and
paralyzing every limb and sinew of trade and
industry? .
Is this the peace that Gen. Grant woald
give us? Is this the peace that the man ot
cruel and relentless war would have? Is
SUCH a man and such q peace to be endorsed
by the people of the United States2 We
hope not. We appeal to them to pause and
reflect before they give their voices and their
votes to such man and such peace. And
this is not the appeal of the partizan-notthe
appeal Of the politician; but the earnest
warning of patriotism and justice. The woes
of the South are not alone her woes. They
are the woes of the whole country, and as
they arc meted out to us so shall they be
meied out to others. II they are endorsed
by the people Of the North, the peace of
Grant will be the peace Of sorrow, of desola.
ton, and of ruin, for them as we'll as for us
The iron hand of the military despot is brosd
enough to cover the whole country, and the
greed of power is never satiated, but grows
with age and strengthens with time, until
some vaster power comes to stunt its growth,
shear it of its strength, or strapgle its exis-
tence. How much better then, to "crush it
in the bud"-to nip it while it is young and
comparatively weak, ere it'grows to that pro-
portion which will be too formidable for the
popular will to extinguish. How much bet
ter. then, to arouse now to sense of the i'm
pending danger, and avert it while we can.
How much better, then, to consign the lead
ers of this growing power and their greedy
60. workers to that oblivion which they 80
Justly merit. Then, indeed, would We have
peace-not the peace that Gen: Grant would
give us-not the peace that the Republican
party would give us-but the peace which
blessed our country in the palmiest days of
it's prosperity and glory; the peace which
alone can bless it again with prosperity and
glory.

When war ragged it was alleged that the
barbarous Confederates" refused to make a
fair exchange of prisoners. It is now shown
that Grant prohibited it, though conscious Of
the straits to which the blockade and desola-
ting war Lad rendered the South. Grant
was informed Of the unavoidable sufIerines
and deprivationa to which his gallant men in.
side the Confederate lines were subjected. and
the rebel government anxiously sought even
to exchange the disabled. Grant refused.
His published orders show this to be true.
Who dug graves at Audersonville Coof.i-
crate soldiers and people starved outside those
prison walls, and Grant knew it, and yit
