The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1869-08-30


The Barnwell Sentinel has an article on an
tsgonism OF race, in which it says:
Every day developes the fact more and more
apparently the fact. long ago made
\ manifest by all history and experience, thai
| two distinct and separate races cannot hive
haImoniously together as social and poitica
| equals. It is only where one race Is supreme
| ly dominant, and the other 10 the state OF sub
| jection, that two races, as Numerically oppo
site as the white and the black race can live II
any sort of peace or quiet. Any attempt, by
moral or physical force, to cause an amalga
mstion OF ideas, interests, or feelings, mus1
constantly prove abortive and unavailIng.
In another article it predicts the speedy
downfall Of Radicalism, thus:
All the tinkering on earth will not serve tc
keep together the rotten elements Of which
Radicalism is composed. Its tate is written
in thousand histories. II ls written in char
acters of blood in the annals Of France, IS il
was similarly written before in those Of Eng
land. It is written in Hsyd and Jamaica, and
in all the countries OF South America; and
some day. before long, it will have it's OVID his

ages on the great folly Of building pyramids
on the inverted plan. Therefore, We say to

power, ca,pe diem; which. for their enlghten-
ment We will tell them. means "make hay

time coming when all this revolving tyran-
ny, all this plundering and prescription Of the

Cuffee himself, or the good old State OF South
Carolina.
WATCH AND WAIT.
The Abbeville Press sees no need for haste.
It says:
Why enter into an active political contest at
present when twelve months are yet to elapse
before elections come of here, which will pre-
sent any political issues TO be determined by
our people. In that time 1t will be determined
whether old party lines are TO be obliterated,
and we are to fight under new Conservative
banner or under the old Democratic 1ag. Our
course here is to be determined by the pro-
gress Of events elsewhere. Between Democra-
cy and Conservative Republicanism We may be
forced 10 choose; but the time for making de-
eision has not yet arisen.
In this State we have little to gain by COM
promise Of time-honored principles. Let us
bide our time, and We may yet achieve Dem.
ocratic victory under the old Democratic BAN

And, first, let me declare my firm belief that

confess that believe everything possible can

provided every man lend himself with all his

ca nnot, like some Of my clearer-sighted friends,
e6e negro Legislature, is to be cleansed OF
Radical majority. Nor can read 10 the signs
around me any indications Of . division OF tne
negro Radical vote. Since the LAST general

which will sweep away the deceptive veil Wnlcn
hides 1t. Then, too, we must place IN the Dal-
ance against us the Generalization OF our own
people, or of that weaker portion to whom de.
feat is fatal, who think the lazy tranquility OF
oppression preferable to the trc uble and sacrl-
fce of manly struggles against it, and who,
beginning with finding that Things are not 30
bad after sl," end by fawning like beaten ours,
and licking the plundering hands OF our op-
pressors. With them our cause Is not sare;
and, 10 q new issue, it is more likely that they
will desert to the other side, than that the rul-
ing party will be diminished by the desertlon
10 us of any considerable portion OF their
strength.
THE THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT.
The Winnsboro' News still harps on the
"third party" string, and this time speaks
plainly. 1t says:
The right of negroes to vote and hol1 Office
we consider as one OF these things that must
be at once and not too tardily conceded. II 1t
proves an intolerable incubus, it will doubtless
be hereafter thrown of. But this much Radl-
cal bre we must use, in er to checkmate the
legislative corruption, which threatens, so long
as we give Radicalism the majority by refusing
to use it, to infict upon us evils almost meal
culable. Concede this much and the prejudice
OF the race no longer being the only motive
power, We may control majority la tne state.
The interests involved are too great not to en-
courage us to make the trial. Even II the at
tempt fails, nothing will have been lost, tor the
league written in the color OF white mems SKID,
the true reform league, will still continue an
unbroken organic alton destined to triumph IN
the end.
