Lose no Time.
From the Newberry Herald.l

The ball is in motion for the overthrow OF
the vile government which now letters the
State, and which is running her best Interests,
and it cannot be long surely ere the END shall
be seen. No matter what the means, II it be
not dshonorable, so the end be right. We
confess to have despaired OF any early results
from q convention, thinking that the time had
not quite come when anything like reason or
truth or sense could be made to enter the
minds of people, so infatuated and blinded by
the speclous lies of Radical teachings, as tne
colored people are, but subsequent events are
bringing ont new lights; the rogues are fall
ing out among themselves and are peaching,
and when rogues fall out honest men come In
for the share unjustly held from them. So it
is now. The pickings, and steallngs, and ap-
preparations, and greaslngs, have not been
time dissatisfied, are breaking out in threats,
and tales are being told which the string-hold-
ers would like to Keep back; but what is to be
will be, and they must stand the storm, Tne
ring in Columbia is much exercised, the trea-
sury is ebbing low, the hungry expectants are
tired Of waiting, and for some time losing
hope, have been looking into and seeing WI Iita
their Cwn eyes what is to be seen. That
time is the good time, when the dupes are no
longer to be imposed on, and made to believe
that the moon is made of green cheese, and
that there can be cut from 1t slices enough to
satisfy them all. That will be the good time
when it comes. 1t has not yet come. but come
it must, and then honesty and truth shall be
established in the country, and peace, harmo-
ny and prosperity prevail. In the meantime
let the convention, which Is fixed fact, meet
in June and let wedges be entered wherever
there is an opening, and where there is none
let one be made let the convention be held,
and well attended, for in the multitude OF
counsellors there is safety.
What to Teach the CoIored Man.
From the Sumter watchman.l
At the close of the late war we found the
negro frees We persistentiy refused him the
full measure of legal rights accorded to the
white man. In our pride and prejudice we
stood mute. with arms and hands folded In
lous scene being enacted around us, strangers
by the hundreds and thousands fiocking into
the State from all parts of the globe, holding TO
views and political principles antag0nlstlcal 10
our own. These principles, so obnoxious and
perncious to the best interest OF both white and
black, were rapidly and successfully iiculcated
into the mind ofthe negro. In the meantime
he was made "a voter, carrying along with
it the undoubted right to hold office. He was
successfully led of from his former master in
sympathy and affection, and united with his
new-made acquaintance in sympathy anu po-
litical principle, and by his vote, so adroity
drawn away from our own grasp, placed tnese

has held the rens of State until there is abso-
lutely nothing LEFT but wretched wreck-the
skin and bones of a once proud and noble peo-
pie.
Now we claim that the white man is supe-
rior to the negro. God has stamped the mark
OF superiority upon the brow OF the white man.
He has also stamped the mark oil lnieriorlty
upon the brow of the negro.
Then let us demonstrate our superiority
over him by intoxicating into his mind proper
principles of political economy. Let us edu-
cate him in the honest principles OF industry,
elevate his mind, if possible, to the highest
standard of integrity and good morals; prove
to him that his former master is his best
friend. Convince him, if possible, that hon-
esty is as essential in politics as in morals
that he, too, is sufferer by theving, pilter-
ing administration Of the government that
the party in power are using him as
tool to keep themselves in power and place,
while he tolls and sweats in the labors
of the field; that we recognize in him all the
rights the law gives him, and we propose to
take none away from him. Do this and invite
him with all others who desire reform in our
government, to unite with us in one grand ef-
fort to overthrow the political Sodom and
Gomorrah OF the State. Do this and we may,
perchance, win them back to u.s. Is this yield
ing political principle =? We think not. Should
we not make an effort to save the State in the
great struggle before us !? Let us not sit down
with folded arms because heretofore we haTe
