THE RlDicAL FRt,a ahAhadE.- The Co
lumbia Moenir makes the following
statement Of The pfograhiiiis agreed upon
6y iiia ieadegsTof the Radical party in
thiS STATE: TT
Et has been divalged reOeatly that she
Radical party are TO hold no more public
meetings during the prcscnt canvass.
This course, We learn, was resolved rpop
in the secret session Of the late Radical
State Convention The object of this
move on the political chess-board Is said
TO be 20 mako It apr aren't that the Demo
Gratis intend to coatinue the process OF
intimidation, which, the Radicals allege,
has already been inaugura.ed in this
State. The leaders Of this faction hope
in this way to be able to make out case
sufficiently strong to induce the authori
ties at Washington to declare az least
half the counties in South Carolina under
martial law, in order that the vote Of the
State may be cast fo1 their party. The
presence Of Gov. Chamberlain at the ma
tional capital, just now, accompanied by
some Of The greater lighta of his peculiar
creed, whose mission is presumed to be
Of q political nature, would seem to give
some coloring to the statements made
above. AS additional evidence, it is q
noticeable fac. that, since the adjourn
ment of the Convention, there have been
no Rs'lical public meetings held, nor
any announced to be holden.
A colored member cf the late Conven.
ton, who went over into North Carolina,
The other day, is reported to have di-
vulged this programme Of his party in
presence Of /, Democrat, from whem We
obtained the intelligence. All of which
may or may not be the truth. We are,
however, 10th to believe that the great
Democratic party Of the nation would
stand Idly by aud witness such fegrent
violation of the Constitution, as the de-
claration of martial law, perpetrated
upon any section Of the Union. That
the Radical party should attempt such
measures is but in keeping with their
former history. The rule and ruin policy
is their motto, to which they are as fully
committed as Ephraim was to his idols.

a CARD.

To The Voting Citizens Of anderson County:
l am in entire accord with the platform
and principles cnunciated by the Democracy
of our country; and one of their first decla-
rations, when forming clubs for the CAM
paign, was to make the office seek the man
and not to encourage the seeking of the
Office by the nan. But since the notice of
my own name by kind friends of various
clubs, am urged to canvass, as others arc
said to do. but this I am unable to 90 on
account Of feeble health, and my friends
must therefore excuse what may seem to be
indifference. have never Lad but one po-
litical faith-my motto is, Honesty and
capacity for Office" the lowest possible taxes
consistent with creditablc administration
of the government, few offices and officers,
short and working sessions by the Legisla-
ture, low fees, salaries or per diem; let the
officers be servants rather than masters of
their constituents, and encourage that gov
ernment which dispenses the greatest good
TO the greatest number. To these and kim
dred sentiments 1 am far from being indif-
ferent; nay, xho could be indifferent or who
can dare even to remain idle when our moth
er country is to speedily be redeemed from
those shackles which threaten her dissolu-
ton? for while she needed the smallest pos
sible measure of taxation, she hns been dosed
with q portion ten fold above her ability to
bear; she needed stimulant composed of
equal parts of Honesty and capacity" and
instead thereof her pretended physicians
gave her an unbearable dose of ignorance.
imbecility and corruption; when her resto-
ration required the fewes. of well-skilled
nurses in the various depa' iments, she has
been beseiged with an innumerable host of
pretenders who fill every possible niche, and
thus forbid even the breathing of healthy
atmosphere, until she is we'll nigh suffoca-
tel and. above all, when she most needed
mutual confidence, forbearance and harmo-
nv in the household, those quacks stirred up
jealousy, animosty and pickering amongst
her children, thereby giving to themselves
the oppertunity-which they have made
haste to improve-of robbing her tills, emp
tying her pantries. running her credit and
degrading her children until they have so
completely bankrupted her entire estate that
even ,.i,ildrcn's children must suffer in con-
scane,.t, thereof; and now those croakers
have the audacity 10 tell US that they are
the only physicians that can effect cure.
May God speedily deliver us from such
monsters, and may the people oil cry,
Amen"
submit my past as guarantee for the
future, if on the 10Th of October my friends
place me in position rs one of the cup bear
ers in nomination for the Legislature,
though at O sacrifice, 1 will strive to serve
with my might; if they prefer others,
shall be content cheerfully to step behind
and assist in holding up their hands.
With thanks to Kind friends who present
my claims, I remain, obcdiently,

MEsaRs. EDIToRs: have noticed from

some Of the Clubs to vote for candidate

will, therefore, allow me small place in

and faithful servant of the County for that
position. 1 refer to Col. T. J. Pickens, and
know of noae more worthy to fill that re-
sponsible position. He has already, in for
mcr days, held the position of Comptroller

A BABY.-The following is no less ad-
mirable as description of baby than
as an example of a keen sense of the
proper place at which to put full stop
Did you ever watch dear little baby
waking from its morning nap? 1t is one
of the prettiest sights in the world
There is the crib with its small prepara-
tions and snow-white drapery that covers
something, outlined, round and plump.
There is nothing to reveal what it is, not
the slightest movement of the pillowed
whiteness that is visible-no sound to in
dicate keenest actual life, until the hour
hand of the clock that stands sentinel,
like yourself, has twice made its circuit.
Then there is q slight pulsing in the
drapery, a small, pink, tremulous hand,
fair as a rosebud, is thrust out, and from
the nest thus broken into appears round,
diminutiye face, with wide open eyes that
have not much speculation in them
Soon, however, they cease to stare, and
become questioning, serious, as if Won
dering what kind of world it is they
open upon and the head lifts itself just
little, and two snow white feet stand
up spasmodically, with a simultaneous
movement, each toe of which has an
attendant dimple. But the head is too
heavy-it falls back on the pillow with
its own sweet weight, the hair all damp
and golden-the cheeks peachy-the
mouth pouted, as if the angels kiss it in
dreams. A first lingering goo-o-o comes
from its rosy depths, sweeter than any
birds song, for it has spirit tone and
yet retains thrill of its native skies.
The chubby hands are lifted imploringly,
persuasively-the baby is awake and
ceases to be an angel.

wIDDER GREEN'S LAST WORDS.

''Im,goin' to die" says the Widder Green,
"Tm goin' to quit this airthly scene;
It amt no place for me to stay
In such world as tbs to-day.
Such works and ways is too much for ME,
Nobody can't let nobody be,
The girls is flounccd from top to toe
An that's the hull O. what they know.
The men is mad on bonds an stocks,
Swearin' an shootin' an pickin' locks,
I'm real afraid I'll be hanged myself
Eff amt laid on my final shelf.
There amt creetur but knows to-day
never was lunatic any way,
But since crazy folks all go free
Pm dreadful afraid they'll hang up me!
There's another matter. that's pesky hard
can't go into neighbor's yard
To say How be you?' or borry pin
But what the paperll have it in.
Were please to say the Widder Green
Took dinner Tuesday with Mrs. Keene,
Or Our worthy friend Mrs. Green has gone
Down to Barkhamstead to see her son..
Great Jerusalem! can't stir
Without a raisin' some feller's fur?
There amt no privacy,-so to say,
No more than if this was the Judgment day.
And as for meetin'-I want to swear
Whenever put my head in there
Why even Old Hundreds spilled and done,
Like everything else under the sun;
It used to be so solemn and slow,
Praise to the Lord from men below
Now it goes like gallopin' steer
High diddle diddle! there and here.
No respect to the Lord above,
No more'n ef He was hand and glove
With all the creeturs he ever made,
And all the jigs that ever was played.
Preachin' too-but there I'm dumb,
But I'll tell you what I'd like it some
Eff good old Parson Nathan Strong
Out O. his grave would come along.
An give us stirrin' taste o. fire
Judgment an justice is my desire.
'Taint all love an sickish sweet
That makes this world nor 'tother complete.
But law I'm old I'd better be dead
When the worlds turnin' over my head
Sperit's talkin' like 'tarnal fools,
Bibles kicked out o deestrict schools,
Crazy creeturs murderin' round.
Honest folks better be under ground.
So fare-ye-well! this airthly scene
Won't no more be pestered by Widder
Green"

HUNGER.-When the system begins
to need nutriment, it sends fluid from
every portion Of the body towards the
stomach, whereit accumulates in little res
ervoirs, the distension of which causes
the sensation of hunger; the fuller they
become, the more hungry are we.
This fluid not only gives notice that food
is needed, but it has the power of dissolv-
ing it, as water dissolves sugar, and thus
prepares it for yielding its nutriment to
the system. II, therefore, person eats
without an appetite, without being hun
CRY, there being none of this dissolving
fluid in the stomach, the food is not dis
solved, does not undergo any healthy
change on the contrary, being kept up
to the stomach heat of about a hundred
degrees, it soon begins to fern1ent, to de-
cay, to rot; if meat, it literally becomes
carrion; if vegetable, it sours; in either
case, generating gas and wind, causing
unseemly belchings and noisome eructa-
tions or these gases, being confined, dis
tend the stomach, causing pressure
against the nerves, originating various
pains and discomforts more or less dis
tressing, to last sometimes for hours or
half night, preventing refreshing sleep,
to be followed by day of general dis
comfort and unftness for business
Sometimes the stomach becomes so dis
tended with wind that it crowds up
against the lungs, preventing them from
receiving their proper amount of air, and
there follows distressing feeling of i'm
pending suffocation. These same effects
follow when too much food is eaten !;
more than there is fluid in the stomach
to dissolve.-Dr. Hall.
