THE FRUITS OF HONEST INDUSTRY
On yesterday morning six colored men,
Charles Young, Edward Young, Miles
Hanford, Berry Prior, Enoch Young and
Tilman Key went TO the carriage and
harness house Of r. III. May, in this city,
for the purpose of buying each a buggy
After short time spent in examination,
six buggics and sets of harness were pur-
chased, the chcepcst one of which cost
$3.50 cash, aud one of them bought
double buggy Which, of course, cost
much more than the others AS soon as
the vehicles had been purchased each
one of the owners harncsscd fine mule
to the buggy-the mules being also the
Aropcrty of the former. These colored
- are working this year on planta-
lin Burke County, distant about
: y five miles from this city, aud are
doing exceedingly we'll. They arc farm
ing OH their own account--that is, they
have taken SO much laud, which they
work and give the owner portion of
crop as rent money. Their crops have
been thoroughly worked, are looking
well, aud some of them will gather
twenty bales of cotton. These men are
quiet, orderly and industrious, and are
represented as having but little to do
with poiitics.-Aay'.stn Chronicic.

A Conservative Republican party in
our State, composed of its honest and in
telligent :aen, is all that can turn tho in
fluence of these events into proper chan
nels. A recreant to duty is that man
who would falter in his course now, a
craven TO public opinion is hcwho would
fail to take position now which his
heart tells him is his duty.
Men of the South you who upon her
battle-felds could stand in her defence
and meet the dread shock of conflict,
fail not now, because public sentiment
would lift the finger of calumny and
mark you with odium.
Meet this us you met the avalanche
of wars mutilation. You will not long
be misunderstood, nor mistaken for the
Radical
Duty fearlessly met and discharged,
brings its own high victory and reward.
You will be understood, and your own
heart will blcss you.
Leave to women to kneel forever
around loved graves of the past.
From those very graves, hallowed and
holy shrincs of patriotism, spring flowers
that speak Of hope, voices that bid you
as men, be up and doing"
''Lct the dead past bury its dead,
Act, act in the living present,
Heart within and God o'crhead."
When the history of these times shall
be written and read by people yet to be,
the record will be, that the Southern
people sank into romantic and touch
ing le;hargy, and in sheer supiueness of
despair, lost their nation"lity-lost their
sunny land.
Miscegenatinn, oblivion can be avert
ed by ourselves alone.
Let lis meet the issues of the hour
by that past to which you cling with
with such pathetic love, by those graves
where sleep our fallen, who did their
duty in their position so nobly and SO
well-we bid you arouse; meet the
hard duties Of our situation In their
heroic discharge lies our only hope.
The ORANaEBuRG News appeals to
Its contemporaries and the people of its
County, in taking its position to-day.
A conservative and pure element in
the Republican party of this country,
will, beyond all question, restore this
Southern land to status of equality and
prosperity.
How otherwise than BIZ an esz.--uisu-
tion of this party in our State are the
evils of corruption, beneath which we
groan, to be removed
Is not the Democratic party power,css
for good ? Does not its very mention
call forth the dogged and obstinate op-
position of the coiored people, and of
the masses ut the North
Yes! these things you know and real
ize. The people need but leader in
whom they have faith, to adopt these
convictions, which alone can prevail for
good.
At least, understand us to be advo-

The Condition and Prospect Of
The Orangeburg news. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1867-1875, 1869-08-14
Cur Position To-Day.

Time, in its unwindings, is developing
.ss Issues Of history. The situation OF
noto-duy is exactly that of its yesterday
The relations of parties to events, which,
they would control or to which thoy
must submit, is SO complex, that infinite
Wisdom alone, can trace, through the
labyrinththin crossings of policies the
golden thread of Truth. Among the de.
veiopments Of the political position of
the South, the prominent points which
stand forth as irrevocable facts, and
stamped with the imu,utability of Truth,
are the death of the old Democratic
school Of politics, and the enfranclise.
,nent aud citizenship of the colored man
This last fact in the true position, stands
fixed, star in the political frmanent.
and conviction, admitted and accepted
by all liring parties to-day.
Z We have professed, as we felt, that
the Radical organization was our only
hope for the restoration of the peace and
prosperity of the South. We have be-
come disgusted with the corruption ex
isting in this organization, aud their s,s.
tem of rather declining to receive and
admit, Southern men who would come
forward and accept situation which
they deem inevitable.
They would prefer TO tamper with the
colorcd, men, and themselves secure all
the emolumcnts and Offices of their party
organization. We say that, disgusted
with this system and this corruption,
We avow the determination of the
ORANaEBuRa NEWS, to support any or
ganization that pledges itself to univer-
sal suffrage and universal amnesty, and
what We mean by this is that every body
shall be permitted to vote aud to hold
Office.
We think that We Can with some pro-
priety appeal to the Press of the State
calmly 70 consider our suggestions and
our position, with the hope that our
course may be generally approved and
adopted by Others and that an era of
good feeling may be inaugurated
We would also appeal to the citizens
eS our county to hear and consider our
views.
Political opinions are not principles.
Men aud their opinions change, with
che developements of events and their
own appreciation of them, but principles,
like the God who established them, arc
immutable.;
We have ever advocated upon the
side Of the true situation of to-day, hon
esty and intelligence, as opposed to COR
ruption and ignorance, and we stand
forth today 10 advocate any organiza-
tion, which, accepting these primal ele-
incnts in our situation, promises to give
as upon. just and liberal principles, what
we so much need, peace in the enjoy
ment Of good government, administer
eddy upuight and intelligent men.
And we would prefer that these men
be SouthernerE, men born among US, or
men Unidentified with our interests and.
hopes.
Nothing in our situation bids us des.
pair, Let Southern men submit to the
fate of war, let them submit to situa-
lion which cannot be obviated, and turn.
it into good.
A resolution to take these facts it,' our
position as they stand, and work them
into good, for our country is tbs clear
and imperative duty Of the citizen and
the patriot.
