Democrats.
1t is not always to be expected tlata
man can control his choice of the COM
pany in which be may find himself, but,
under ordinary circumstances, he may
act at his own discretion. 1t would
appear natural that the lordIy cavaliers
of South Carolina wonld give a vide
berth and ample sea-room to the people
they describe in the following vigorous
and elegant article; but, on the COM,
trary, Wade Hampton was in haste to
mingle with the Yankees, and actually
volunteered plank in the platform
which was adopted by the Democracy.
1t is nothing but the nullifcationplank
of 1882, and the treason plank of 1850,
planed and grooved to suit the times.
7 We hope the Democracy will admire
the portrait presented by the Charles
ton Mercury, and will act wisely in the
case, and leave the group of traitors to
the contempt they deserve: IE 20
From the Charleston Mercury.
"Our women are all conservative,
moral, religions, and sensitively modest,
and abhor the North for its infdelity,
gross immortality, licentioHsness ran
archy, and agrarianism. IT'S they and
the clergy who lead and direct the dis
union movement Itis gross mistake
to suppose that Abolition alone is the @
cause Of dissention between the North
and the South. The Cavaliers ,Jacobites,
and Huguenots, who settled the South,
naturally hate, contemn, and despite
the Puritans who settled the North.
The former are master races-the latterG,
slave race, and descendants of the
Saxon serfs. ... -......,

in the world. Pride of caste, and'color, {
and privilege makes every white man O.
an aristoerat in feeling Aristoeracy is 8
the only safeguard of liberty, the only
power watchful and strong enough to
exclude monarchical despotism At
the North, the progress and tendency
of opinion is to pure democracy, less
government, anarchy, and agrarianism.
infdelity, and free love-
Our enemies, the stupid, sensual, ig-
norant masses of the North, who are as
foolish as they are depraved, could not
read the signs of the times, did not
dream Of disunion, but rushed on as
heedlessly as a greedy drove of hungry
hogs, at the call oftheir owners They
were promised plunder, and find
famine; promised bread and were given
"a stone. Our enemies were starving
and disorgaRized. The cold, naked,
| hungry masses are at war with their
leaders They are mute, -paFalyzed,
panic-stricken, and have no planet

Better, thousand times better, to

BILE, noble, and generous traits; the
Yankees, sour-erout Germans, filthy,

have none. Senator Wade says, aud
Seward too, that the North viii absorb

Out OF the city, the State of New York
is Yankee and puritanical, composed of
as base,. upprincipaled, superstitious,

population as any on earth. Nay, we
do not hesitate to say, it is the vilest
