Chamberiaine's particular onences from the rest.
He was the ablest and best educated man on that
Board. He is equally responsible for all that 1t

'No, there is little area left for stealing BY the

the concession that the debt OF the State could
not be increased except by vote Of the people,
.'Yet cannot these marauders carry your vast
black majority even for an extension OF the State
.sNo sir. The colored men have become too
smart. They desire the respect OF the native
white people. Thousands OF them love the name
OF q South Carollntan. Had the rebel population

Governor Perry, Johnson's provisional Governor,
who has felt bad ever since the party rejected him

The speakers assigned for my campaign are

A CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION.
