THE LIBERAL ELECTORAL TICKET
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.


An Address to the People OF the State.
To the People of South Carolina:
On the 5th OF November the people of South
Carolina, in common with the people of all the
United States, will be called upon to elect q
President and Vice. President to serve for the
ensuing four years.
The course that has been pursued by the
present administration has been 30 subver.
sive OF all local self.government, and hostile
to the rights and liberties of the citizen, as to
have excited the greatest approximations for
the safety of our free Institutions, and has
aroused the intelligent and Conservative
masses of the, nation to q united aud deter.
mined effort to secure, II possible, the gov.
eminent from the hands Of Its present auda'
cious and interruptions rulers, and bring II
back to Its constitutional bearings.
More than this-so alarming and widespread
has been the growth of corruption In high
places as to have tainted all the fountains Of
public Justice, and so reckless the use of cor
rupt instrumentslitles by public officials as to
undermine every principle of honor and hon.
esty in the breasts of the people, and prepare
the way for the rapid and almost sure decay
of all public virtue.
To arrest the spread OF these evil and dan.
gerous tendencies, and to save TO the people
the substance as we'll as form of q constitu.
tional republic, the citizens of all classes and
parties have organized q holy, firm and indie
structible alliance in behalf of purity in govern
ment and sympathy ard reconciliation be-
tween sections.
The cardinal principles of this movement
were promulgated from Cincinnati on the first
of last May, and solemnly ratified by the De-
mocracy of the whole Union In general con.
ventioD at Baltimore on the 9th OF July.
Horace Greeley, of New York, and B. Crate
Brown, Of Missouri, chosen as the standard
bearers Of this cause, have been hailed with
patriotic enthusiasm by the friends Of law,
order and well regulated liberty throughout
the entire land. The principles which have
been emblazoned upon our banner In the
hopeful words OF our ilustrious candidate can.
not die, but must and will survive even defeat,
If defeat were. possible.
South Carolina, recognizing this as the only
movement In the present crisis calculated TO
overthrow q monstrous Capitalization, and to
secure to the present generation the blessings
of q just and Tree government, has, through 6
convention of her people, recorded her ad'
heslon and pledged her support to the move
ment.
While We are not permitted to speak the
language of assured victory to our people II
this State, it is, nevertheless, our solemn duty
to adjure them by their enlightened love O.
country and their devotion to Its Institutions
to summon to their aid that highest tortitudt
In man, of fidelity to principles even in th'
midst of disaster, and, rallying around oul
nalnra. Give to nnr. candidates a MANU-
generous and uulle support.
Animated by the foregoing sentiments, an
profoundly sensible of the responsibility de
volved upon them, and to Insure the ACTOR
