| .Weadonot b. lievc that this card
will sati fly tho honest patriotic sub.
sotibers' of tie PE@nix. 1t is fo,
them to judge whether Mr.. Selby
's9la !out2 to Chamberlain. W.
have not seen a single subscriber OF
the PL~nix who commends the poll
cy recently adopted by Mr.. Sclby.
On the other hand we have heard
loud complaints Of betrayal. Mr..
Seiby should know that nine tcnths
of his subscribers are opposed t.
Chamberlain. lie should sec that
perpetratipn Of Chamberlain ri"t
rule for two years longer, will de.
privo these subscribers even Of the
small cum that. they pay for sub.
scriptions, and that therefore a,
"armed neutrality" means death t,
the Ph@nix unless it be supported b.
frauds arising elsewhere.
His nomination Of Gen. Kershaw,
like Chamberlain's reputation Of
the fraudulent debt, comes too tte to
dispel suspicion. 1t is known that
the blacks have a majority of twenty
thousand, and that they will vote for
no one but republican and the
nomination Of Kcrshaw or any con-
servatiyo for governor woul. there
fore be useless. This is the course
that tho hirelings Of Chamberlain
kindly advise the conservatives to
pursue. This advice, the Consorva-
tiyes do not propose to take.
MIR. Sclby IN our opinion has made
a mistake, a woeful mistake, whether
Of the head or the heart we leave
his patrons to decide. Cannot II
paper be established in Columbia
which will not make such mistakes
