The Free Citizen.

We lave received n copy Of the first issue
of the above named journal, published in our
Town by Dr.. a. Webster and cditei by his
son, Professor r. a. Webster. 1t is n neatly
gotten up "a column sheet, and in politics is
Republican and in for n thorough reform Of
the Republican party in this State. This
makes the third paper published in our 20
ahead little town, with the promise from
DR.. Webster of another (Religious) in few
weeks. We wish the FREQ Citizen a glorious
career, financially and otherwise.
The editor, Professor Webster is ready
writer, and gentleman of eminent ability
and worth. We quote from his salutatory
Our influence shall be given to make our
beloved State II welcome home to thu stran-
ger who may como to lis TO cultivate our I'M
improved lands and add to our means for
agricultural and commercial prosperity
The stranger hns rights which VIC are bouud
to respect and he should find safety and
protec tion especially anywhere in his native
land, md under the sheltcring folds of the
national banner he has fought to protect
No section of the country presents more
inviting field for the stranger than this,
and his reception should be rs bland and
cordial as the sunbeam that grects him wit h
warm caress, and the generous soil that
responds with such impartial lberality to
the hand Of cultivation.
We donot start this enterprise in opp
stion to any other paper now published,
but in it's issues we are using the material
and aiding to consummate plan which was
inaugurated years ago in tho publication of
one Of the first republican papers of the
State. We expect to find field Of useful
ness which has hitherto remained unoccu-
pied, and hope to contribute TO some cxtcnt
to the advancement Of those interests denr
TO the hearts Of all those who lovo God and
their country.
We ask the indulgence of our readers and
the charity that thinketh no evil, and We
anticipate that in due time wo shall convince
them Of the purity of our intentions and
the sincerity Of our wishes to promote the
best interest Of those who may be reached
by our influence,

Vixen, in 1872, the previous record
Of Frank Moses was referred to as
reason why he should not be made
governor, the party was assured that
the chief justice had such great inAu-
ence over his son that he might be safe,
ly depended upon to keep the you g
governor in straight paths. We havo
been disposed to believe that tho
strength Of this influence was exagso-
rated, in view Of the utter failure of the
governors administration Of affairs, his
gross iudcccncy .of life, his thorough
shnmelcssncss in the rescue Of thieves
and ecoundrcls from the mcshcs of the
law his brazen use of the funds OF the
state for his private purposes, his utter
disregard of his plightcd word, his un.
blushing bargain and sale of Offices,
and his total disregard Of the interest
ofthe party which has elevated him
for the lowest depths of social aud pc
cunlary ruln to its highest officials hon.
ors. But when VIC see the chief justice
laying aside the dignity Of his position,
running over the state to secure the
denomination of his rcprobate prodigal
son; in consultation with the enemies Of
the republican party as to the best way
to kill of tho effort to reform Moses out
of power; invcnting excuses, entreating
horc, bargaining and hucksloriug there,
there, and boldly defending tho often.
scs Of this political debauchc, we have
been forced to the conclusion that s"likc
father, like son" is provcrb which
finds its truth exemplied in South
Carolina as in every part Of the World.

No Tniun-No Ducks.

We once heard n story thus: Out
West near frontier fort, built on the
edge of stroam that flowed through q
prairie, lived an old Indian. Ono af
ternoon he came rushing into the fort
for gun to shoot some ducks that had
just landed on the opposite side of the
stream. The boys, to have some fun,
got hold Of an old Spanish muskot, and
loaded her nearly TO tho musscl and
handed her te the Indian who started
for the ducks. They followed on be :
hind to see what would happen. Di
rectly they heard terrible explosion,
and thinking that the gun had bursted
into thousand pieces and killed the
old man, they broke for the scene of the
disaster. When in sight thoy Saw the
Indian crawling out Of the prairie grass
with his arms full Of dead ducks, and a
great cash OH his check, with the bloc Il
flowing thcrciorm. On being approach
ed by t]sst"boys" he b.okc out with the
exclamation Wagh me shoot big
gun gen, soon be no Injun-no ducks.

day last in our County Convention

Sold Out.

The Ncws and Courier announced
some years since that it did not care ga
damn for principlcs-it went for money"
and no intelligent, impartial reader can
we'll doubt that it has stuck we'll to its
platform, The Charleston Republican
repeatedly stated that, true to its plat
farm, tho News offered to, and was anx
ious TO sell cut "to the party" for tho
printing when the Mercury still lived,
At the time that memorable dispatch
ito hell with the vcto-pae BILL"
is said to haze been wired - Y1iay by
good Democrat Of tic old liho Wing
persuasion, the News was unblushinsly
advocating lhosphates. 1t unscrupul-
ously aided in the passage ci the stcr.
ling loan. and undoubtedly ''saw light"
in the murky derth Of that most outra
gcous, swindlc. But time and space
fails us for more Of these iumiiarly
known frauds Of this corrupt sheet
which claimed, with some show Of rca.
son, to be the mouth piece Of tie oppo
sition;. but always "gocs for the money !"
All remember its ADVOCACY of L. {. .
loses. Jr., for Governor, two yc,rs ago,
and how 1t was paid. All know how
this sheet, which was tbs official paper
for this State, and the official paper of
Charleston, suddenly got its teeth on
edge when it ceased to be. See, today,
when few men are trying to expose
the huge bank frand Of their own party
how reticent the News can be Damn
principles = the News goes for money"
Has the News sold cut again to Gov
ernor Moses? Most likely, most likely.

for 1t would bo placed, as in that case, by
the intelligent men Of tho North, upon the
shoulders of those who cngender It by tn e
same instrumcntalities. The result would
simply be the instant and utter alienation of.
tho sympathy of the North from those who
would resort to such measures Cor the cor
rection Of evils, thc existence of which is
not denied by the party in power
We trust the. Opposition will bear this in
mind. They are in helpless minority SO
long as they stand factiously array cd against
the Republican party, and, whilst occupying
that attitude, can have no possible hope of
bcttcring the condition of public affairs ex-
cept with the co operation of their friends
from abroad. That can never bo secured
nor sustained by any resort TO violence
nor by the adoption Of any plan involving
the infringement Of the political privileges
Of any class Of citizens 1t is TO this view
Of the matter hat we direct their attention
not to point out n way for them to succeed
i'll disintegrating our party, but to caution
them against nrousing popular feeling
that could not fail to be detrimental in its
consequences TO the good of the State
There is no room fer MISUNDERSTANDING tho
sentiment of the North on this subject, nor
is that sentiment interpreted. alono by the
journals to which VIC refer. 1t isa mart of
the National Greed, and it may not be either
violated or ignored without bringing down
on its nfractors the National indig nation
and rcbukc.
For the public welfare, and for he sake
of peace, the gentlemen who stand outside
OF our political household should view these
considerations with the gravity they deserve
1t is more than criminal for such of them
as arc in the lead, by virtue of their supc
rior intelligence. to foster any organization
having for its object other than Il lcg cgitimatc
control Of the popular vote 1t will be
worse than madness for the rank and file of
their party to follow their bidding if they
do. Far better will it bo for them and
their cause TO hinge the accomplishment of
their purposes upon the sympa,hics of the
country, instead Of depending them OH the
passions and prcjudiccs of n constituency
that may rcnd them in pieces if they fail Of
succcsg.
What wc havo snid has been given MS a
warning to those whose circumstances in
our County will lot admit oftheir following
the dictation of old fogy leaders, to their
utter ruin and dismay, and as public
Journalist, what We conceive to DO our duty
in cnlightening those with whom our past
associations have been very pleasant, and
who are now more prosperous, even under
