PUBLIC HALL.

Great ofiorti sbcing made by the Elliott
Hook and Ladder Company to secure
the means necessary for the erection of a
house for their truck. The plan, rs adj
opted, is to erect q large building, just to
the right of Captain IIamilton's store,
.or the use of the company, with COM
modious and roomy store on the first
floor, and on the second, to bmld
n public hall We think this n
good move, Orangcburg needs public
hall, and VIC hope our citizens will con-
tribute their influence and means i'll this
undertaking. Several hundred dollars
have already been subscribed, and the
prospect bids fair to be success. Let
us have a public hall.

against the white. Ut
The Judgment that uses such appeal
is, we think, unpatriotic and unsound: of
the taste that prompts it, We can only
say "chacuE son s5out."
By the way, the "Ncws" 'dil not tell
his former slaves" that "the power Of
the United States Govcrnmcnt" offered
To sell them out to the Confederate au-
thorities at Fortress Monroe. We sup
pose this must be Radically dead history.
Another editorial freedom of the
"Ncws," hot quito so unwarrantnble as
the above, is the appeal to "othcr Demo
cratic Journals, y we suppose, to second his
appeal, for there is nothing either un-
democratic or,,nrcpubliean i'll our War
Grumblc." If he thinks to .ct their
countcnance i'll his forwarding of South
Carolina Rcpublicanism, hc can also
know that they will be met with all the
zcst cfppposition that is ut the command
of tire Times.

The "Ncws" of last Saturday has in its
leading article the following:
'And here we must beg tic Times,
should it again honor our editorials with
its consideration, TO reply to our suggcS-
tions in the form i'll which we put them. .
Inthis the prcsumablc sarcasm is killed
i'll effect by our experience, that to notice
Republican editorials is most certainly to
do more for some Of them than they de
serve at the hands of gentlemen. 1t is
therefore only to draw distinction of
personal respect which we have for Mr..
knowlton that We make this brief
but fair and honest effort TO reply to his
suggestions in their original form.
We first understood the "Ncws" to ask
why we had here no coalition. This
question VIC answered, and were told we
wore irrational and unsound. III its
next article we have understood The
News" to ask why South Carolinans OBJ
ijccted to Radicalism; and are accused of
bringing in cxtrancous matter" and
making unfair use of its article, coupled
with slur (of taste more than doubtiul1
on the time we have taken. The "Ncws"
certainly believes in the justice and good
taste Of its charges Fortunately for
us we go before the public and they de-
eide for both.
Its questions now are: care they
(South Carolnians) opposed to the prin-
ciplcs of Republicanism?" We answer
categorically. Yes. We add "cxtran-
eously" to the hearts core.
Ncxt;-"'ro which of the principles of
Republicanism is Democracy opposcd?'
Now wespeak only for South Carolina
Democracy, and il that explanation
be regarded as "cxtrsncous," it must
be ruled out by the "Ncws." We, then,
object to spccious legislation, to corrup-
ton, to non representation of white men,
to burdcnsomc taxation, amounting to
robbery. These are maintained here,
and at the llcad-ccntre of our government
OH principle by the Republican party.
We quote again from the News:
"It is the earnest desire of the News" ;"
in all serious discussion, to settle facts
first, and then apply principle" We
subscribe to such sentiment, and recon-
mend the following publicly patent facts;
1st. South Carolina Republicanism is
Radicalism.
ID. Radicalism means casting aside
ofall principle.
Sd. Apply principle to these facts and
the result is rampant blnckguar,lism.

TRUST ONE ANOTHER.

Look into your brothers. eyes, man,
And bid him read your own;
One half the strife Of human life
is born Of guile alone!
Deceit creates full half our hates,
z And half our love it sla
Look in each others eyes, men,
And meet each others gaze.
Pardon your brothers faults, man,
And ask that he forgive;
Could human sin no pardon win,
No mortal soul might live.
No need of Heaven were none forgiven,
For none would reach its doors;
Pardon your brothers faults, man,
And bid him pardon yours.
Feel for yoar brothers grief, man
No heart is safe from woe,
Though lips and eyes full oft deny,
The sofrowing weight below.
A gentle vile, plying smile,
May sweetest balm impart;
Feel fareyour brothers grief, man,
And you may win his heart.
Stand by your brothers. side, man,
> And bid him clasp your hand;
To him be just. aud yield the trust
That you from him demand.
How simply wise, with soul and eyes,
To trust, and still be true
Do to those we love. man
What we would have them do.
