AcAL1 TO ORGANIZE.
Darlington and the Citizens Party,
fFrom the Darllprton Democrat !


|. Itis cheering to notice the vlgor and nnan-
unity of the State press in their efforts to
awake the dormant energies of a once defeat
ed but now hopeful and confident people. The
bugle rings out clear for the charge, and this
time the party whose dishonesty and falsehood
has been fifty Illustrated by It's leaders, must
yield to the decree Of fate, and our ''relgn OF
terror al last have an end.
We agree with The CHARLESTON NEWS that
tour strength should be reserved for the last
Charge but on all sides let us hear the note
ofpreparation-let our battle-cry be equalrights
and equal taXatiOn-a standard around which
all good and true men can rally; let us re-
deem our loved State from the clutches of the
Infamous reptiles who dare to pollntc the
name of South Carolina by falsely assuming to
represent her. Good God just think ofit-
McDufile, holding the rotten mass. Of moral
corruption which, affecting the livery Of the
gospel in order to serve the devil more secure
", las at last met It's deserts, In being deem
ed euen too corrupt for the Forty.frst Con-
greSS.
There never was time when the chances
for successful contest were more favorable.
The idols of the poor deluded colored people
have been shown to be false-the many prom
ises made them to better their condition have
melted into air. Where is the mule and the
forty acres? Where is the 'horne for the home
less, and land for the landess?" And Is the
colored man In more comfortable circumstances
to-day than he was four years ago? Their
naked and shivering bodies give living
answer to that question. How fares 1t with
the men whom they have put into office? They
have grown rich to rcpletion, by every imagg-
Unable mode OF stealing known to human de-
prayity.
We think it time that there should be q
change. Suow Us AN HONEST MAN OF CAPAcT-
TY, AND WE WILL SUPPORT HIN. Party tines are
entirely obliterdted and the only issues inUolUed
are honesty and ,uScality. Let the lines be
drawn. and the battle marshalled. Let the
knaves come out in the light of day that we
may know them by their company. We say to
all good people, come forward and save your
homes and little ones from anarchy and VIC,
lcnce, and let lis drive the last Yankee, ped
ding 'scarpct-bagger" from the State, before
they have stolen the last morsel Of bread from
our furnishing children.
We call on black and white to repudiate the
wrctchcs who come here TO steal. Meet to-
ecther, exchange views and opinions, treat
each other with confidence; for your political
rights can never be in danger. The white has
not the power. il he had the wish to injurc the
colorrd nan. Let MS all bc south Carolinlans.
and send back to Massachusetts the vile, can't
ing hypocrlies who attempt to disgrace our
proud and honored State.
LET THE "CITIZENs PARTY" Re ORGANIZED AT
ONCE IN EVERY COUNTY. TOWN, AND NElGllB0R-
HOOD IN THE STATE; Use every influence TO IN
duce success; animate your neighbors, and
above all, let the poor and ignorant cOloreu
man know that we have not forgotten our
boyhood togethcr-that we still have an inter-
est in him, and wish to save him from those
whom he has esteemed his friends.
