r r,,a Failure in South Carolina.

g
The right Of the citizen to bear arms Is .
constitutional right Of which he cannot De
deprived by birds Of passage and 81 prey
from the North, such as CHAMBERLAIN, nor
by the Executive Of the United States.
Rnt while the right 10 bear arms Is IN
safspusable, southern white people nave ao-
stained in some parts OF South carolina il1
srou, wearing them, and have been brutaiiy
hasrayed and ,nassacred by blacks. The fact
seems 10 have checked the shrieks Of the
n,tra-Radical newspapers OF the North.
They are quite silent for some days. We
see no puffs Of CHASBERLAla's proclamation,
or or GRANTS, Of the orders to 6 Disperse, ye
rebels No, this Is not called ior now. THIS
bloody shirt won't profit much. White
people at the North may not be very happy
at reading Of the rampant barbarism IN
South Carolina and the assassination OF
white men. It isn't time yet to attempt a
st. Domingo massacre; and the white peo-
ple OF the land are not ready to applaud the
logical consequence OF the Radical policy
that leads to negro domination in the South.
We are sure we correctly interpret the
prudent motives which lead to stopping
OF. Of vehement Trades about "intimida-
ton - In South Carolina. Intimidation )"
!" grows harsh" and 'ssweet revenge is out
OF tune,o There is too much white blood
in the caldron for the witches. So they
seek to modify the "helLbroth" more to
their liking. II they could bring on
amusso that would give them few san
guineous gallons Of African "persuasion "
that would help them, and then the cooling
OF the broth with the baboons' blood would
make it "thick and slab"
Exactly. Here comes the ''bloody in
structions' in the wrong direction. The
bayonet policy don't move as 1t was In
tended. AMI surely it will do the inventors
serious injury. We have no doubt that the
device intended to carry South Carolina FOL
HAYES will only contribute to swell the VIC
tory OF TrLDEN. The people OF the United
States are not so preiudiced, ignorant, and
cruel as GRANT presumes them to be. In.
deed, he offers them great insult in his
presumption. He will so find out. But
even II he makes the discovery before the
election 1t is too late for him to change his
base.
The nation will certainly learn this fact
that CHAMBERLAIN's cue for disarming
whites has been found, if practicable, alto.
gether unnecessary. On the contrary, it is
found that the negroes are armed, and that
they are not civil or discreet enough to be
trusted with death-dealing weapons, and
that it is absolutely necessary, therefore,
tina: the whites should not be deprived OF
the means Of self-defence. Independent OF
any constitutional discussion OF the subject,
this fact is clearly established.
Let us hope that we are soon to pass out
OF Radical rule which brings upon the land
the shocking scenes that have occurred in
South Carolina. Let us hope that shall
have peace and order, an d that the National
Administration may never again seek to
prolong the reign OF the party in power by
> provoking local strife.
It is q good thing that the rascally Radi-
Gals are disappointed in South Carolina in
not driving the whites to kill the United
States soldiers or the negroes. We still be-
lieve that HAMPTON will be elected Governor
in the Palmetto State. What remorse the
Administration will feel il, after its out
rageous attempt upon that State, it shall 80
