believe ID The general, wish, namely !.
that the people of Fairfield arrange
tickets for the Legislature for them
selves--a ticket for which all can cons
sisten,ly vote. We trust that aour
rolorcd citizens will not be dictated
tn by oflioe-holders. in Columbia or,
elsewhere, who simply wish to hold on
to Office; and that our white citizens,
on tho other hand, will not lend them
selves to any party whatever, if, by SO,
doing, they arc to risk losing repre-
sentation in tho General Assembly.

assist this object of fair representa-
tion, or IT MAY NOT. 1t is a crude
thing yet, and it is weak ;s proposing
to "taboo Federal politics !" that is
very certain, for it cannot be done.

watch. If our colored oitiscns do not
harmonize with our white citisens, lot
it be clearly their own CHOICE, and, not
from blundoring on the part Of those
possessing more education and great
