The boast Of the Democratic party has
ever been that it makes no discrimination
among races, climes or nationelities. Its
victories in the days of its glory were due
the equal protection which it afforded to
all citizens whose allegiance it claimed,
without reference to race, religion or birth
place.
There is no place in the Democratic
creed for "a line which denotes dis
tinction among citizens of a common
country. Its portals are wide open to ali.
1t extends protection to all. 1t gives
equal enjoyment to all in the privileges
of the government. There was 10 ''coIor
line" enunciated at Baltimore. There
was no proscriptive dogma ofthe kind pro-
claimed by its victorious cohorts in India
ma, Ohio or West Virginia. There ,cjU be

its mission, it must be what its title I'M
plies-a party of the people, THE WHOLE

have doubted whether its name associated /
as it has been with SO many defeats and
unpopular issues in the North within the
past eighteen years, and connected with /
80 many bitter memories to the members
of the old Wing party in the South

The State Fair.

Elsewhere the report of the State Fair
will be read. We will content ourselves
with saying here, that in several essen
tial respects it was decidedly superior to
any that have preceded it since the war.
In the departments of machinery, agri-
cultural implements, wagons, carriages
and other vehicles, the improvement was
very marked, Much credit is due to the
energy and enterprise of the Board of
Contro! and its able and efficient Presi
dent, Col. Lafayette Montgomery, who
is pronounced on all hands to be the
right man in the right place. The at
Tendance ON Thursday and Friday was
unusually large. The lowest estimate of
the crowd on Friday was 1000. On
Thursday, the orator Of the occasion,
Professor Gathright, of Summerville, de-
liycred an eloquent and practical address,
which was listened to with marked atten-
ton by all who could get within the sound
Of his voice
The racing department was well man
aged. The sport commenced early in
the week, aud was kept up at intervals
With undated interest to the close.
On the whole, the State Fair of 1874,
has been a decided success, and the Agri
cultural and Mechanical Association un
der whose auspices it has been carried
forward amid difficulties which seemed
unsurmountable, may now be considered
a permanent institution. With an assu-
rance that there will be no such word as
fail, our people may commence getting
ready for the next Fair.

Expansion Of the COTTON EscI..

The cotton crop now nearly approx
mates the &c yield before the war !;
and the question is often asked in view of
the large number of fields lying waste in
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and others
of the older cotton States, which were
formerly cultivated-how can this be 50 !?
Mississippi, for example, produced be-
fore the war twelve hundred thousand
bales. Now, Notwithstanding the large
accession of white labor to its culture, she
does not produce exceeding half that
number The answer to the inquiry is
found in the large expansion OF the cot
ton belt so as to include, in addition TO its
former limits, a large portion of Texas,
Northern Alabama, Southeastern and
Southern Missouri The misfortune with
the older States is, that they have not
made up in other productions what they
have lost in cotton.
