gislator, and hounds on the prosecution

this. Governor, seems to be done with
your connivencc, il not at your ineti-

recent promises? How do these deeds com
pare with your honeyed words of peace

gest, Governor, that just for change, you
make trial, for short time at least, of
being the honest, straightforward ruler
OF the whole people of.the State, and
SEQ it 1t does produce change SO very
agreeable, that you would not exchange
it for anything within your reach. Call
to your assistance men OF ability, OF
honesty, OF integrity Of character; make
an honest, earnest determined effort to
carry fully into effect oil the declarations
that you have made in this direction;
throw to the dogs, or the devil, tho cor
rupt ring by which you have been sur
rounded for the last two years; use all
your powers to put stop to this bribery
and corruption that has SO disgrnced the
legislation of the past two years; put a
stop to the miserable squandering OF the
funds of the State; pursue every die
honest ofice-holder to the inside gate of
the penitentiary; put an honest man in
his place; do all else that is right md
proper for Governor to do for the ,chole
people over which he is called to rule,
and you shall have at once, emanating
from the Democracy Of South Carolina,
a force of help, morally and physically.
that has not ofSen fallen to the lot of any
ruler heretofore. Let every body learn
as quick as possible, that you are deter
mined to be the just and equitable ruler
Of free people, who are, and have been
all the time, in favor of peace on pro-
per terms; and you will soon realize O
help, and principally from the party that
has heretofore been opposed to you, that
the highest flights Of your fancy never
presented to your view. This will raise
o storm in your present ranks. there is
nc doubt; but you will be fully sustained
when you have given confidence to the
people of the State, that you are sincere
in your declarations of peace and good
rule. Confidence is what we want; give
that, and we will, as good citizens, help
you out to the end. faithfully, justly aud
truly. We want peace, good govern
ment. and confidence in our rulers, that
it may lead US to prosperity,a physically,
financially and morally, and the greatest
good that can accrue to the whole peo-
pie. Respectfully, Iremain yours. &C.,
