"A Call from Lancaster.
The Lancaster Ledger talks right out in
meeting. It says:
Appearances would indicate that Governor
Scott intends to attempt, at least, to carry ouv
South Carolina. Every. day dlscloses some
new feature In the programme OF the cam.
paign. It is said by certain Radicals here tnat
the arms sent to this county to be distributed
among the colored people-men OF their party
ARE for their protection against the wnltes;
Others have said that the .Scott King parry
are.determined to carry the eiecuons ~ Lnas
net. 4 speech was made in the League meet
ing on Tuesday night, 26th ult., In, which the
members were counselled to organize at once
for this purpose The speaker said: There
are certain men here opposed to your having
these arms, but say bring them ons and .latat
is necessary, Isay use-them for your rights.
What we have to cay Is just this: knowing
the sentiment Of the white people Of this
county; they " ouId .deplore anything calcu-
lated to disturb the friendly relations at pres
ent existing between, the races. We regret
that Governor Scott is taking such an unWise
step, In placing arms In the hands OF one ciass
of citizens to 1ntimidate and ride rough-shod
over another class. And with all the Iaets
and demonstrations before US, with threats
daily ringing In our ears, We are certainly not
so unmindftl OF our welfare, and the safety OF
our families, as to lie still and do nothing for
selEpreservation.
. Thgswhite Companies organized throughout
the Stale and rendered to Governor Scout as
volunteer militia, have been systematlcalIy re-
jected,; while the eolored companies have been
Systematically accepted. TINS aSnoa Ol ,ns
ofthe people, without regard to party or race,
is sufficient TO place every white man IN the
State upon his guard. II is advisable that the
whites organize. not to serve as militia, but as
q protection to the several communities, and
to defend at the; polls thelr. own rights and the
rights OF those colored citizens who Will vote
with them. God knows we want no disturb
ance. :. All we ask is a fair election, allowing
every man to 60 up and deposit his vote as he
pleases. This let as hGue at all hazards!
Radical Taotics-.What Scott is After.
The Columbia Guardian exposes the iniqui-
tous behaviour Of Holden's rufians, and says:
Holder, BY his arrests. imprisonments and
savage tortures, has done no more. than to
carry out those principles of government which
are embodied In Governor Scouts Winchester
rifle speech at Washington. He is now organ
izing and arminga a coIored militia force over
the entire State, in view of the coming elec-
tions. Aggravations and insults will be Offer
ed to the white people, to provoke violence, as
it will require the heroic forbearance that has
characterized the conduct OF the citizens oil
North Carolina to withstand the assaults that
will be made against them.
