tion, snd thereby enable you to over.
throw the da,t and bloody dynasty which
is being thrown Ground you. Let every
man who has sense enough to see his way
out Of house On ere, drop old and party
names, let him hold himself ready and
willing TO take up aud vote for any man
to any Office in whom he eau trust, be
that mans political antccedents what
they may. 1t is with the present and
future, and not the past, We have to con.
tend. All the glory and patriotism Of
the Democratic party for the past seventy
years can do naught in restoring to your
crumbiins country ono stel"n right all
.h. hlnnd sver shed for liberty and right
avails nothing 10 bringing back to you
that liberty and those rights. If you
would save the small remnant left, cheer.
fully and heartily act with those men
who see the danger, and have the good Of
the country at heart.
Turn your eyes, If you please, to tho
elections which have just transpirsd.
Where is tho ssmblance of hope to the
Democratic party Of ridding the country
Of it's curse? Do not these lessons teach
you that the party in power is not only
willing to change the Republic into an.
archy, but is using all the mighty means
which power gives it to accomplish this
end? Those elections have another sig
ni6cance, which is more dangerous to the
liberty and stability of the country than
all things else; they say to you, in plain
and uuuistakablo language, that the
party that carried them by it's votes is
prepared to indorse Grant iu any and oil
his schemes to crush the Republic, and
in its stead erect despotism.
Our second plan to defeat the objects
and schemes Of Grant, is to adopt heart
and soul the grand, wise and patriotic
doctrine prcmulged BY the Missouri Re-
publican; make no nomination for
President-leave that in the hands Of the
patriotic conservative men Of the Repub.
lican party, and when men Of wisdom
and patriotism shall nominate man Of
like qualities, though be may be one with
whom We may have differed politically
our lives long, still, for the sake of coun.
try, peace and liberty, let us as unit
vote for and elect him, and thereby save
to ourselves and posterity the blessings
Of liberty.
We urge this course not because we
are tired Of the grand old party that gave
Us all the blessings of free government,
and for seventy long years maintained
these blessings without single stain upon
their memory. We are not tired of such
a party, bu. would if possible see her at
the helm, knowing that once under its
guidance the ship Of state would be safely
moored in the barbor Of eternal peace.
Neither do we urge it because Of . want
of confidence in Democratic leaders.
The all wise Creator never permitted
to 1.-Two better men, purer patriots or wiser
statesmen than thousand Of these are /;
but we urge it for the mighty reason that
. nomination by the Democracy At this
time could result 10 nothing but defeat to
the country. And who can doubt the
sxpedieucy Of this policy. If there
exists any such, let them turn their eyes
to redeemed Tennessee and Missouri.
Where, in all this state, is the man who
10 not proud Of B. Crate Brownf What
thcn, We ask, did the passive policy do
for Missouri in 1902 By it we were
redeemed from tho servitude now endured
BY South Carolina-from rapine and
bloodshed to peace in oil its fulInsss. Let
rs, therefore, for the good Of humanity lay
aside party and partisaus, and with the
puro aud lofty redeem il We can the
country from tho thraldom Of oppression
place her back on the pinnacle from
whence che has been dragged. w.
