CAMDEN, MARCH 81, 1870.
Our Duty.


We have before us high daty tt
perform, in endeavoripg to reclaim OUT
State from the PROSTATE condition in
which she now lies. A contest is be-
fore u, calling into action. all the wis
dom and strength which We possess
The leading papers of the North us'
the words "South Carolina" as syno
nym for. bribery and corruption. The
actions of leading officials, and legisla
tors of this State, have brought abou
this state of affairs, and ignomiuy ant
disgrace attach to her entive people,
Bribery has been resorted to in such
opened and avowed ways that We nc
longer hear it questioned or denied BY
members of the Legislature, bat on the
contrary, it is freely admitted by then
to be a fact beyond dispute. 1t is ne
longer an honor to belong to the Legis
lature of South Carolina, which hal
ceased to legislate for the good Of hel
citizens, and is converted into politi
cal job-ofice, where money, aud thai
alone, puts the machinery to work.
!; Is this not sad spectacle to those in
whose bosoms honest hearts still beat
Is it not sufficient to awaken righteous
indignation in a patriotic heart 7 Is ii
not Insufficient to bring the burning blush
of shame to the cheek Of every honest
citizen of the State
Whence this hellborn corruption, this
infamous prostitution Of power by the
peoples representatives? Did it origi'
nate here on our own soil and among
our;owu people, or did the wave Of ro'
volution foist tkis monster upon us, to
prey upon our material resources, and
bring disgrace upon us oil alike ?
Ye men of South Carolina, ye citizens
white and colored, answer!
Shall we any longer suffer ourselves
to be blind tools of wicked men, men
without honor or principle? Can we not
all unite in one grand effort to make
our State, our own? The smoke and
turmoil of Federal politics have been
waited away into the distance and no
fosget are the angry passions of two
years ago at work to separate our white
and colored citizens. They can now
unite to approach the ballot. =hax- as
..-sy sE:.,a ,,op rrdsmp5ro
Of our common country.
=; Shall we refuse to unite? Does dis
trust still prevail to keep us assunder
1t caanot- be. Every intelligent man
knows who bave the power of controll
ioSsths ballot box, and consequently Of
the,-S.ats. And no man would advo
cateany trial of strength upon the same
issues that were before US two year!
ago, forjthe purpose of suffering defea'
a second time. Therefore, we ask the
whole people of the State to unite ii
restoring to its proper channel oul
State, 1t is ours, and we, the native
born people, should controlit Have
We not men, natives to tho soil
competent 10 take charge Of the Go
yernment, and administers its functions
properly? Are strangers and foreigners
the only living men who are capable o
governing our people?
These are tine questions which it be
hooves every man, no matter what hi
race may be, to answer. We desire q!
to ponder these grave questions anc
conscientiously determine them accor
ding to the best lights before them.

Sinking Slowly.

Diseases that progress rapidly to crisis are
not the only ones to be dreaded. Casfker or
dry rot does not blast a tree as suddenly as a
stroke of lightning, but unless arrested, it des-
troys it as certainly; and in like manner chronic
debility, although it does not kill with the
swiftness of yellow fever, is as sure to sap the
springs of life eventually as any acute disease,
if not checked by invigorating medication
There is something inexpressibly touching in
the spectacle of premature decay. Languor,
pallor, emaciation, depression of spirits, and a
distaste for exertion, are its ordinary symp-
toms, and they should be promptly met by
tonic treatment. The best invigorant and ex-
hilarant that can be administered in a case OF
this kind is Hostetter's Bitters. The stimulat-
ing principle of the preparation rouses the dor
mant energies of the SYSTEM and the strength
ening and regulating properties give perma-
nent and healthful impulse to the vital forces
thus brought into play. The failing appetite
assimilation are quickened, the quality of the
blood is improved, the secretions become more
natural, and every organ that contributes to
the nourishment of the body undergoes saluta-
ry change. By these means the repair of the
physical structure is effected and its health and
vigor restored. In no class of diseases has the
benificent operation of the Bitters been more
marked and striking than in those character
lied by general debility and nervous prostra-
| ton. Ladies affected with these ailments find
| In this most wholesome of all tonics and correc-
| tlves the safest and surest means of relief II
| is strong to restore and powerless to injure.-
Such is the uniform testimony Of s'clouds OF
Witnesses

Aromatic schiedam schnapps seem to be
extensively gaining our public confidence, and
promises to take the place Of every other IL
|quor now in use, especially for medicinal use.
This is not surprising; for, apart from its
being found in most of our respectable Drug
Stores in the cities and country, and its being
strongly recommended BY the physicians, the
mild and agreeable taste Of this article, con-
+trasted with the strong, pungent and actial
sensation produced on the palate by the COM
mon deleterious article-which is now the
general complaint of nearly all the medical
faculty of this country-wouid, of itself, suf-
fee to give it the decided preference. If pre-
Iscribed as a medicine, it is not bad to take /;
and to use as beverage it is considered by
judges to be superior to any article Of the
kind ever imported into this country.

A CARD.

"Competition is the life of trade" is an
axiom of old, and a lively opposition is COM
mendable in all men of business; but nothing
can be more reprehensible than secret, under
handed and unworthy means to injure firm
of irreproachable character for the only pur-
pose of aggrandizing ones self. Open charges
can be met and refuted; but how many of the
character below may be circulated without the
knowledge of the party most deeply interested
who can tell?
With view to show the fallacy of all such
charges that may be brought secretly agains
us, we give publicity to the following, which
was generously forwarded to US by Mr.. Draw.
NER that we might have an opportunity to re
flute the slanderous words therein contained:
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1870-08-19

We feel there is nothing we can say which
will more fully exonerate US than the above,
and we publish it, not to injure Messrs. RILEY,
but to dispose of one of the unfounded charges
against US. Pursuing the even tenor of oul
way, rendering unto Caesar the things which
are Casar's," we hope yet to work our way
into the confidence of shippers of produce, &C..
along the line of the Potomac, and that event
ually our efforts to advance the interests of al
will be appreciated, and result to the interests
all alike. Very truly,
