The Policy Of .Never Despair."

The Policy OF ..Never Despair"
Whatever doubts may exist in the
minds. of interpretation, as to the mode
of political activity in the coming State
canvass, there can be no difference of
opinion as to the policy individual, po-
1ilical or industrial of NEVER DESPAIR.
The people Of the South have had
hard, rough road to travel since our
wearied columns gave up the fight at
Appomattox. But no unprejudiced OBJ
server will deny that they have in peace
supplemented their virtues in acar-men
and women alike. They have manfully
gone to work, and in spite of the politi-
cal cross laid upon their shoulders, have
borne themselves bravely up, aud toiled
manfully on. We have suffered and
toiled with our people, and now we send
forth ourSvoice, taking lesson from the
new life that nature is now again putting
on, as seen in the glorious vegetation SO
auxuriantly breaking forth under the
magio influence of our soil and skies, we
bid them work on in the spirit of NEVER
DEsPA1R.3 We have in our State, and in
our section, great and untouched re-
sources. u Let us go on in developing them.
We may diversity our pursuits, and thus
give play,to all the energies of our popu-
lation. We can do more work, and do
it better, than ever before. If we have
Fields, work them,, and by improved
mdchineFy and more thorough cultiva-
tion. make up for the lack OF numbers.
If we have FACTORIES Of WOOD, or IRON,
or 1KATHER, or COTTON, or WOOL, or PA
PER, or OIL. or aught else, work them to
the full capacity Of means. If you have
MINES ofScopper or iron or gold, develop
them. If you have PLOUGH, LOOM or
ANVIL, let each do its part. If you have
RAILROADS, build them up. Whatever
of material development That we may
have, let US bear in mind that industrial
development is the source of wealth,
power, influence and freedom.
Nor be unmindful of our political OBJ
legations. The material regeneration of
South Carolina is now retarded by the
regime over US. We need REFORM in that
department. Let, then, the obligations
of the citizen be not overlooked, and in
this behalf let good men do their whole
duty. Wherever the power of the bal
lot is evoked. rally, organize, work and
vote, for the interests that hang upon
the issue are near and dear to us all, who
expect here to live and here to die. Let
no doubt come to foil US in our ''just
intent" We repeat, let US "never
despair. Even O virtuous effort is n
success, and there is vast power in firm
PURPOSE and high RESOLVE.
