WHAT SUITES 10 DSsN0..

The last two weeks has witnessed q
change of sentiment among ourpeople,
in favor Of che candidates ofths Reform
Party, which surpasses, in SO brief .
period Of time, even our most hopeful
expectations. We said in . late issue.
that our people were true Is steel. We
knew Of whom '5wSa. SPOKE. The erea.
heart Of our white people is being
stirred, and they are coming up 70 the
support of CARPENTER and BuTLER in
solid phalanx. Here asd thore only a
dissenting voice is heard, except among
tho ayowed white Radicals, Who are
few id numbers. . - -
We have cheering accounts, too, from
the colored people in various parts of
tho country. Many Of them, We are told,
are dissatisfied with their present
leaders, and desire change. They have
not realized any Of the expectations that
have been excited In them-they begin
TO feel the weight of taxation-they geo
their masters with pockets full, and
rolling in wealth, whilst their little all
is taxed, and the last dollar dragged out
Of their pockets to pay it.
If our people but do their duty, the
oolored man will not long be separated
from US in feeling, as he is not now iu
interest.

The veriest dolt, Who can read plain
English, will not fail to see, by compar.
ing the above, that the matter originally
taken from tho columns Of the Scott
organ and published in the editorial
columns Of the Sumter Ne,Os, has been
so garbled by the Mewstin its reply, as
to mako it say aud mean an entirely
different thing. The head of it is cut
off-(the source from whence it was
taken)-the bowels and vital principle
have been extracted, aud tn. remainder
is distorted into q weak fling at the
Radical Party.
This attempt to shirk tho RESPONSE.
bility Of tho publication Of tho piece, is
so exceedingly small, and at the same
time SO transparent, as scarcely to be
worthy tho notice, of an honest
DEMOCRAT.

REMEMBER.

That there are but two sides to the
contest now raging in this State. 1t is
honesty against dishonesty. No man
can disparage one side without helping
the other. No honest man can be neu.
tral, because his very neutrality is en-.
couragement and countenance to dis.
honesty aud adds one to Scott's vote.

DEATH OF A GOOD CITIzKN.

We are sure that We but utter the
sentiment Of our entire community,
when We say, that in the death Of Mr..
ARCHIBALD ANDERSON, Sumter has
lost one of her best citizens. The
affective event occurred on Saturday
last, after painful illness. frsm pneu-
monia, Of but four or Eve days duration.
Mr.. ANDERSON, who was . native
Scotchman, had been citizen of Sumter
about thirty-three years, and during all
that extended period Of time, maintained
an unblemished reputation. He was
firm and fixed in his principles-= lover
Of truth and justice-unwavering in his
frieudship-mild and devoted in his
family. circle.
His death is an affliction to our whole
community, but upon the dear ones he
leaves behind him the blow falls with
unusual severity-for to them he was as
dear as tho apple of the eye. May the
balm of heavenly consolation be applied
to their wounded hearts.
His funeral services took
place at the Methodist Church, on Sab
bath afternoon last, and, in the absence
Of his pastor, Rev. d. MCQUEEN, were
performed by Rev. H. NJ. MooD-were
attended by large concourse of our
people; the lower and upper floors of
the Church being filled, and many color.
cd people in attendance. He died in the
trumphs of Gospel faith-his last
words being an expression of his trust in
the Saviour. Chow blest the righteous
