party complains TO Scott their ex parte state
issued to arrest as many OF the best citizens OF

The oath Of the oldest, most respectable and
conscientious man In The State Is set aside when
the bare word Of such violent and unprincipled
partisans is given In. SO long as this partisan
and malicious disposition continues towards the
Reformists OF South Carolina, Governor :, Sco5t
must not hope to reconcile the people to his ad-
ministraton; nor can he expect the Reformists to
aid him in arresting men who commit outrages
upon his party friends. while he protects and
takes TO his bosom those who, too cowardy
themselves. incite others to commit ourrages
upon EeformiSts.
We ngain unequivocaly assert that the Reform
people Of the upper counties are as peaceaole and
quiet as any people upon the American Continent;
but there are number Of evil disposed Radicals
among Us, who appear to make 1t their business

can be but temporary, because 1t Is compulsory.
The Reasons for Regret and Distrust.

moderate In spirit, and asa political opponent OF
Its author we take occasion 10 commend the lair
promises therein contained, which, II faithfully
carried out, will bring about that prosperity
which flows from peace. We can only regret that
the Chief Executive has so lately reached the con-
clusion that his office is to adm administer M the the law
without reference to party or class and while ac-
cepting his declarations TO this effect, we cannot
ignore the record Of his past administration,
which naturally enough throws distrust upon his
future course.
We Shall See.
From the Georgetown Times.
The Governor talks fairly enough seems to be
really desirouS OF peace and "pledges himself to
eyery legitimate effort for the accomplishment OF
this desirable result.n But We have learned 10 dis
tingush between promise and performance and

longer before the people, must stand or fall by
his acts. We shall see.
Two Good and Sensible Acts.
From the Lexington Dispatch.l
Governor Scott in his inaugural and annual
messages, gives promises Of administering the
government Of the State for the welfare OF the
whole people, He utters many good sentiments.
II he comes up to his promises it will be the duty
by word anL deed. When we rec0llect his recent
course is dsbanding the negro militia partially
at least, anG dismissng all but four Of the con-
stabulary, We recognize TWO good and sensible
acts within short time.
Ma2nanimous Sentiments.
From the Winnsboro' News.l
The tone Of Governor Scott's message is excel
lent, and It's recommendations, though none OF |
them involving great change, are good. In his |
