From the Horny News]
We approve of the action of the convention
in making the nomination, If our cause OF COM
plant against the reckless extravaganza OF the
present State expenditures is just. The Re
form party have not put forward their candl-
dates any too soon. To walt until after the
Radicals made their nominations and then have
endorsed such Of them as was believed honest
and available, letting the election OF others go
by default, would have shown their want OF
Office. as well the want of a just cause.
In making these nominations the conVen-
ton laid aside all party considerations, and
only sought for standard bearers In whose ca
pa6illty and faithful discharge of every duty
incumbent on them, as they have abundantly
shown. ali can place the most implicit conf
denoe. and now upon this broad platform OF
principles the issue is fairly made, and upon the
success of this ticket depends the early re-
demntion of South Carolina from her present
deplorable condition, to brighter prospects
with glorious future In view. God speed tne
welcome day that shall chase away this darK,
dark, bitter night

Carolina is concerned, party lines c;e oblitera-

outside world interpret the action OF sald con-
vention as being the exponent OF the views OF
the people of the State
The nomination of Hon. R. B. Carpenter for
Governor, and General NJ. c. Butler, OF Edge
field, for Lieutenant Governor, we regard Us
perbaps the strongest ticket that conld have

State who do not subscribe to the platform OF

From the Lancaster Ledger.]
The Union Reform party, with its standard
hearers. ia now In the field. This grand ad-
vance upon the strongholds OF thieves and
knaves, Is neither a Democratic movement nor
Republican one. 1t is solid phalanX COM
posed of the sober, rejecting citizens-Repuo-
iicans, Democrats, white, black, or neither,
who have laid aside all other considerations,
and have united In q grand effort TO save the
State from the rapacious grasp OF plunaerns
rings pllfering officials, and corrupt legislators
This action is necessary to save the state from
bankruptcy and disgrace. We DO not eApeGt
! the cooperation Of thieues and pi!fertng OUT
cidls. Rut we do assert In all candor, that no
honest man can object to the aim in view. The
proposition is fair One-it does address Itself
personally to every honest man in the State,
both white and black. II Is an issue between
honesty and dishonesty. And no citizen, oc-
cupy what sphere he may, can be silent look
er-on at this critical juncture OF public affairs.

the coored citizens will unite with us In this
efart to reclaim the State from Its present un.
worthy officials. The remarks of the colored
delegates in the convention were earnest ana
to the point Some of them were men OF prop
erty and high moral position, who begin to
feel the sting of the Scott dynasty, with Its
multitude of leeches sucking the very lite-oloou
of all who come in contact with them.
We heartily Join hands with our colored
friends in this effort, and would call upon
every citizen of old Lancaster, whatever may
be his political views, to unite under the BAN
ner of the "Union Reform party" and bear 1t
forward to glorious consummation. III can,

The Triumph Of Reform.
From the orangeburg Newsl
Aswe have said the action Of this conven-
ton is significant, and sublimely historical.
The classic words Of those great Carolnians,
as the grand recognition of great facts.
This party and It's ideas are destined to rule
this country. And this its last signal victory
will be won. The white and colored races IN
this State, in perfect harmony and political
fraternity, will live together In peace and
prosperity. Those who have prostituted the
great name of their party to organize band
Of robbers, to plunder this crushed State,
who have, under the name OF freedom
to the colored race, reduced them by
their secret ir licences and oaths to
degrading and hopeless slavery, and who f0s-
ter and keep alive the enmity between the
two peoples, to the injury of both these will
be deprived of their fell power and punished
for their crimes Over a nation In arms, over
the prejudices deep seated as ilte Itself, anu
over these dishonest men and their trickery
will these great truths triumph and prevail.
The Republican party Is already crying out as
q party. what its individual members are daily
uttering, .'save me from my friends and will
defend myself against my enemies
Over all obstacles its truths will triumph,
and beneath the sunlight OF its ultimate and
glorious victory this people shall be blessed.
Let the Campaign be Active.
From the Barnwell Journall
The momentous issues which are involved in
the approaching political campaign will not
suffer for moment any apathy or Indifference
Oh our pdTl CoiuoS iS uSlueii9 NiiiHl-
nal, and may lead to the triumph OF our enc
mics, and thus wrong and extravaganza will
be perpetuated, and our State will feel still
more sensibly the heel of oppression aud heavy
taxation. If there ever was a time when every
South Carolinian who has vote should exer
else that privilege 1t will be at the next election.
At that time every vote will count, and we can
not afford to be Indifferent The effort is now
to be made fairly and squarely, rs well as ear
pestly, to inaugurate reform In Our State gov
ernment, and the question for us to consider
is, shall this movement receive our undivided
assistance and our active support. Let the cam
paign be an active one In every section Of the
State, and let us make one more vigorous
effort to restore South Carolina to some Of her
past glory and prosperity. Our State appeals
to her disheartened sons to cheer mp and eX-
ert themselves once more for her political
emancipation.
Move Forward as Citizens.
From the Lawrensville Heraldl
The spirit of the movement-the life OF the
new party now organized-is reform in the
administration of the State government. The
present state of things in South Carolina Is so
onerous TO all good citizens Us TO appeal to our
manhood for an effort to throw it Oft. The Scott
dynasty must be orerthrown. To be rid Oft
demands manly effort from all good citizens
and honest men.
