The Reform Party.

The speeches Of CARPENTER and BUrLEn,
delivered in Walhala on the 2Sth ultimo, had
salutary effect in smoothing down tho pref
udices of our people to the Reform movement.
They begin to realizo there are but two
parties represented in the State by candidates,
and they must choose between them. It is
not difficult to perceive on which side the
honest and Intelligent voters will cast thcir
influence. Whatever be their political views
and personal preferences, their good sense

true wo will see whether there is any difficult
Guilty in getting the officers commissioned and

whito company has been nominally accepted,
but every effort to get arms has proved una

are fully equipped and regularly drilled
Who are SO nearly interested in the good

Well Done North Carolina!

At the election in North Carolina on the
4th instant, the conservative party was sue
cessfu, despite the "Winchestcr Rife" law
of Gov. HOLDEN. The Congressional dele
cation stands five Conservatives and two Re-
publicans. The political complexion Of tho
Legislature is as follows: Senate e-Conscrva.
tivcs, thrtytwo; Republicans, cightccn.-
Lower House Conservatives, seventy five !;
Republicans, forty five The utmost quiet
prevails, except in the counties occupied ty
KIRK and the militia.

Astonishing Statement.

The Pickcns correspondent of the South
Carolina RcpuWican, under date of July 2Sth,
says "Pickcns will give Gov. Scorr a
handsome majority on election day, and he
will ride triumphantly to victory, bearing the
banner of truth, liberty and Justice" This
will certainly be news to tho voters Of that
County, and should the result verify it, (Which
will never bc,) they nor we could credit it.
We only wish tho vote of Pickcns could dc,
terminc tho election. No ono acquainted
with that people would entertain any fears of
the success of tho Reform ticket. The Rc
p"blican may rest assured if Scorr's strength
rests in hopes of the up-country, his strength
will prove to be weakness, and his hopes II
dclusion. Our people will defeat him by y
vote Of two to five for CARPENTER to one for
ScoTr.

The Reason Why.

The young men of the town Of Walhalla
and vicinity organized themselves into vol.
uatcer company, some three months ago, by
tho election Of officers Shortly afterwards,
the Captain forwarded to Gov. ScorT copy
rolls of tho company, with tho names of tho
persons whom they desired commissioned as
officers, politely requesting that the company
should be received as part Of tho militia, tho
officers commissioned and arms forwarded
To this request no reply has been received.
Why is this The members of this company
are speaoeable, law abiding oitizens and prop
serty holders, interested in preserving order in
The county. The only thing that can be
charged against them is that they are honest
white men. The letter has doubtless gono
into the "sinking fund.-" and tho company
will die. Of ,oant of color.

The Reform Movement.

The last week has been one Of great triumph
Carolina, says the GHu'tlidn,-a movement
which has for its sole object the redemption OF
the State from the misruc and misgovern
mcnt which, on every hand, opprcsses the
people, and which has made the very name
even Of Republicanism kissing and scorn
wherever civilization is recognized or decent
government respected.
Since Monday last, the standard Of Union
and Reform has been openly un.urlcd, in
Newberry, Fairfield, Spartanburg and Union
countics-in the former, at Saluda Old Town
and Ncwbcrry Court House and Wadling-
tons. From thence such was tho anxiety to
hear the distinguished advocate of the cause,
that when they arrived at Strothcr's Ferry.
although there was no appointment, they
found a large audience, gathered together,
Illustrating the carncstncss and spirit with
which the people of the State are arising to
the vndication of their rights and the sccu-
rity of government under which they can
live and which they may transmit with some
power and safety to their postcrity. As in
the former places, at Spartanbnrg Court
House, Union Court House, and Fish Dam,
on the line of the road, the people crowded
together FROM every direction. TIE greatest
enthusiasts prevailed
These audiences were addressed, at differ
cnt points, with elo1ncncc and ability, by the
standard bearers of the party, the Hon. II. b.
Carpenter, and General Nj. g. Butler, aud by
General j. B. Kcrshaw, Leroy e. Youmans,
Esq, and n.n Thomas Y. Simons, of the
Courier.
Notwithstanding the Efforts made to pro.
vent the coored people from attending and
hearing the truth, large numbers, t. 'hcir
credit be it said, asserted their manhood and
freedom, and determined to hear both sides
Every device was resortcd to prevent this
effect. Runners were dispatched all through
the county to tell the coIored people that, if
they came to the barbecue, they would be
poisoned" that they "would be put back in
slavery and other subterfuges, as false, as
they ere fraudulent But many came, and
everywhere the result has been of tho most
encouraging character.
1t was predicted in tho Convention that
Gov. Scott would not dare to meet the oaudi.
dates of the Union Reform party face to face
before tho people. The result has justified
tho prediction then made. The result is
through the influence of tho Leagues, which
hold tho colored man, as tho mere slave Of its
will to bind him in still further ignorance. -
But tho Indications arc that those shacklcs
are fast being broken, and that our people,
of all classes, arc alivo to tho porils of the
present, and tho dangers which impond, and
will soon drive from power those who have
mado tho government Of South Carolina
"disgraco to tho civilization of tho ago.
and that, in October noxs, we shall have a re:
generate, FREQ and disenthralled State.

The European War.

Things insignificant in themselves arc Of
ten made the pretext for the most terrible
consequences. Long after the cause is forgot.
ten or removed, its results live and yield their
bitter fruits of suffering and death. It is so
with the war in Europe The candidacy Of
a German Prince for tho Spanish throne set
all France ablazo, and destroyed the blessings
ofpeace to two great people. Though the
nominal pretext of the war has been removed
by the voluntary withdrawal of Prince LEO,
poLD from all protcnsions for tho throne of
Spain, yet the peace of Europe onco broken
can only bc healed by a baptism Of blood
The true source of the war has deeper root
NAPOLEON has not forgotten Eba and ST.
Helena nor France her humiliation under the
confederation Of 1915. Germany remembers
too the power and ambition of the first Ma
poLEoN. It is natural, France should view
with jealousy any attempt to give Spain
King Of GorsHan extraction. Her central
position between Germany on tho North and
Spain on the SoutH would render such an
event dangerous to her interests. But with
the removal Of this casus beUi, it is to bc de.
plorcd that pcacc did not follow. Our peo.
pie know what war is, and can therefore ap
preciatc the blessings Of peace. We can
however, burely realize tho horrors of tho in,
pending conflict on tho banks of tho Rhino
France and Prussia synonymous for bravery
and courage, the one proud and ambitious,
the other firm and pcrscvcring, led by skilful
Generals and armed with the most destructive
weapons, that the science and skill of the
nineteenth century can invent, arc arraycd
against each other. With fvo hundred
thousand men on either side thoroughly drilled,
armed and equipped, it requires no prophecy
to predict carnival Of human suffering and
human slaughter. Frcnchman against Ger
man, the needle gun against the chassepot,
the montigny against the metrallcuse and
improved heavy artillery, adding new horrors
to the dreadful conflict This is the trial of
nation against nation, not only in courage and
skilled leadership, but in relative inventive
genius in dcyising war implements, Each
generation rogrcsscs in the discovery CT
instruments Of destruction as well MS Of com
fort aud happiness. The glcaniugs Of the
contest i'll America have been gathered and
turned to account, and We may (apart from
numbers) anticipate a moro bloody result
than ever before known. The needle gun
and chassepot, which in other fields have
proved themselves ipacfcators, arc to be tried
against each other and Outlying the folly) all
look anxiously to the result. Nor is it by any
means sure how long or whether tho conflict
will be confined to tho original parties. Bel
GUM, Hungary, Austria, Italy, England.
Russia from force Of events may soon find
their places on either side and swell the tide
Of human slaughter All Europe is sick
with the fever of war, and much bloodlcttug
must apparently come before any rest or quiet

The labors for tho public good in which you

upon which heretofore parties differed, are
now superseded by practical issues, which in
yolvo the honor, perhaps the existence of our
State. What is established must be acknowl
edged. The means of Improvement which
arc left to US, must not be neglected in idle
discomfort with changes that have taken place.
Is there corruption in tho administration Of
our public affairs? Are some of our public
offices filled by men either incompetent or
dishonest Have there been shameful in-
stances of bribery in the Legislature? Have
the guardians Of the public funds been spec
ulating with them for their private advau
tage? Have ourcripplcd resources been bur-
dcncd by taxes imposed arbitrary and unc
qually? The public debt enormously in.
creased and the public money s1uandcrcl

be SO, they must be corrected bo'ore the re

A Common Union,

For the common safety isnot only reason,
able but natural. Just as tho North and
South German States forgetting past political
differences, and dynastic conflicts arc uniting
against France for the public safety; or just
as pioneers drawing personal bitterness and
party principles in tho feeling of union for
safety from threatened Indian invasion; so
tho good people Of this State, Radical, Demo
crat and Republican should Try their past
prcjudiccs and join in y ,,erous effort to
thrown off their present corrupt rulers. Our
present interest, our future prosperity, our
very existence domands this of every good
citizen. The man, who under the present
emergency, rejects the only measure which
promises relief is neither wise, nor patriotic,
nor deserving.
Bsg" The second article Of the platform Of
the Radical party endorses the administration
of SCOTT as ,oise, economical and honest.--
This would naturally surprise any one who
| had heard the speeches delivered hero on the
18th ultimo, and tho proofs furnished of tho
corrupt and extravaganza administration Of
Scorr. Thieves will hardly become their Own
accuscrs, but plead not guilty, and will read
lily swear to it. Who wrote this platform /?
| WHIrTEMoRE. This namo is q complete and
satisfactory answer for anything tho platform
may contain. The man twice expelled from
Congress, as morally corrupt and unfit for tho
association of decent men, was tho chairman
of tho committee to propose platform, and
figured conspicuously in the convention. The
party to which ho belongs is not the Rcpub-
/ 'lican party Of tho United States. 1t disowns
min, and henco tho corrupt party in this
State. Tho platform Of such body is with.
out life or meaning, q more empty sound Do
not trust II. & | Ha
