The Newberry Herald suys: The time
for temporiziug, argument and concilia-
tion is passed; we shall have no more of it.
A straight and severe line must be drawn
between the races; the colored people
have chosen their ground, with the ad.
vice of the ring-leaders, and they must
follow it out without aid or sympathy
from their former white friends. The
white people have tho power, and the
brains, and the determination to hold
their own, and protect themselves, and
they will do so. The negroes have fol-
lowed their devices one timo too many,
and now let them look to others for
help, assistance and sympathy.

THE REsULE-OUR FUTURE. Ma
rion Star says: The election has passed
and our fate is sealed for the next two
years. While we have no doubt that
Scott and his Ring will plunder the State
during another gubernatorial term, but
our people have done we'll, and We can
still see bright spot in the future for
our honest citizens. Faith in our course
will bear us up. Let no one who is true
to his country and family despair, but
continue to work with the same energy
and determination which has governed
his actions for the last twelve months.
In the face Of all the frauds and corrup-
ton of our present State government, the
colored people, with their blind preju.
dices against the white people, have
yielded and been influenced in their ac-
tions by their radical masters, and suf-
fered themselves to be used as the mise
rable tools of their designing leaders.
Their actions in the last election will
only recoil on their own heads, and they
will learn, sooner or later, that they will
be the sufferers of their owa folly. They
have spurned The advice and counsel Of
those who are too proud to deceive them
and yielded it to the political cunning
ness Of dishonest men from abroad and
unprincipled renegades at home. But,
"Truth crushed to earth, will rise again"
Let the honest people of our State stand
shoulder to shoulder in good faith, and
depend upon their Lwn right, and victo-
ry will yet be ours. Let the faithful few
colored men who have acted so nobly for
the cause of reform and truth hold out
faithful to the end, and they will find
that they have shown themselves not un-
worthy of the consideration of all of our
good citizens.
