just twcnty-iour hours after receiving the

Netting proves more conclnsivcly the
desperation of the Disunionists than the
systematic dodging referred to above =

dodge all the vital issues anl deal in clap

loyal because Wade Hampton endorses him :;
and Wade Hampton has been an advocate
of qualified negro suffrage for more than
two years.
The people Of the North will no mere
think Mr.. Seymour disloyal because IIamp.

think Con. Grant disloya because Holden
and Longstreot support him. HIluGnqtou

Davis of Kentucky says "The white
man to tho manor born is the trucst friend

New York, Correspondence oftho Clarles
ton Mercury,

In This connection q word Of admonition
IS greatly needed. 1t is important for tho
Southern people TO understand Ills os-
sential they should not forget, that their
conduct at this timcis ofgrcat moment. The
disloyalty and rebcllious temper of the
South, is tho whole capital of tho Radical
party. Upon this they rest their justifica-
ton and their election. Every act of tur-
bulcnco, every alfray, shooting, collision, or
riot, no matter how produced, gives aid and
comfort, ammunition and weapons TO our
adversaries. Every wild speech or indis-
erect expression that falls from the lips Of
public man and is capable of being con,
strued into disafcction or thought of future
change, is held to be revolutionary and
traitorous, and charged to the account of
tho whole people in the press and on the
stump. These matters constitute the entire
campaign material of the Radicals. Their
aim and hope is, to divert public attention
from the balcful effects already caused by
their maladministration and to be further
inflicted upon the country, South and
North; TO kindle again tho hickcring en-
bors Of the bitter past, to arouse the dis
trust OF the Northern people and to carry
tho election by subordmatiug the liberties
aud interests of the ccHntry to sectional
feeling against the South. Therefore, to us
the absolute necessity for self control, pru-
dencc, calculation, repression, both in act
and IN utterancc. No man should speak
who is not guarded against excitement and
its fo!lics. No man should, if possible,
allow himself 10 be carried away into yio
lcnce. The canvass should be active, earn
est, untrng; but it should be conducted
with as much peace, quiet and order, rs is
practicable. The cause at the North is
moro important than to carry any Southern
State. And, if these suggestions be not
needed, our people may find themselves
practically CO operating with their rclcnt
less enemies IN fastening upon themselves
the degradation and ruin and anarchy in
yolycd in Radical success.
