We Shall vote the Ilckcts
From the Wlnnsboro' News.]
1t ia well known that we favor every citizen
of the State, without exception, giving his
support to the administration of General Grant.
We have cautiously waited, therefore, until
we could read the full report of the proceed
ings of the Union Reform Convention, before
taking positive position, and, Indeed, before
being able to have positive opinion concern
ing 1t, or the movement Of which 1t FORMS
part. But we now give 1t our most emphatic
and cordial support We had not supposed
that liberal and enlightened thought had
made such universal progress throughout
and nominations OF the Convention n
prove to be the case. We congratulate the
State. We rejoice and are full OF hope for the
future Let us all work earnestly, since IL Is
clear that this movement cannot 0e detedted
for the defeat of Its candidates will surely
make sympathizing friends of millions of
American suffragans, yes, and thoroughgoing
Republicans, too, outside OF the State. Our
colored citizens may therefore reject the offer
of harmony, but, at their peril. We're they
wise, they would, by free vote, prove them
selves worthy of the glorious gift OF freedom.
which God, using the passions and interests OF
men, has graciously bestowed upon them.
The Voice of Anderson.
From the Anderson Intelligencer]
We are unalterably opposed to the Vlllaness
and corruptions practiced in high places, anu
will lend our feeble efforts to their exposure
on every suitable occasion. We shall hope for
good results in the approaching election, and
will utter no word of encouragement to others
more jealous and enthusiastic in support OF
the policy adopted. The platform adopted by
the convention meets with our hearty
and unqualified approval. 1t Is fair and
honest recognition OF accomplished facts.
The questions hitherto dividing the races
in this State are permanently settled by
this action of the convention, which was
composed Of white and colOred delegates. IL
was the first occasion, since the present state
of public affairs has been inaugurated, that
representatives of both races met together In
this capacity. The tone of the colored speakers
was admirable, and evinced clear percep-
ton of the duties devolvilg upon their people
towards securing IN honest and upright all
ministration of the State Government. We
.aYoud rejoice to know that their leading men,
from the seaboard TO the mountains, were
equally desirous of bringing about this refor-
nation, and would assist In hurting from
power and patronage the vampires who have
fattened upon the blood of the commonwealth
for the last two years.

cOur Platform.
From the EdgeGed Advertiser.
This body was undoubtedly inspired by high
and earnest motives; and It's platform is worthy,
of the occasion, and fully up to the progress OF
the age. Indeed 1t is, after all, but recogni-
tion OF the pre-eXstlng rights of all classes and
conditions, as declared in the late amendments
to the Constitution Of the United States. But
