Organization.

Our Vl0Wb OH INC question: OI an
organization of tho Democratic party
in South Carolina arc SO we'll known
% our readers that wo do not deem
IL necessary to reiterate them here. =
We. bavO always opposed the coali-
tion policy, or dangling to the tail
OF any Radical faction in the State,
believing that dofeat and dem oralisa,
ton would be the result of such a
policy. Time has proven the correct
ness OF our views, and we are glad to
know chat the entire Conservative
portion of the press of the State has
como to the Same conclusion, and now
stand unit as to our future State
policy. We must make no moro
compromises with the enemy. The
Ooalition policy has torevor gono
down. We must rise up, like true
men of the soil, assert our manhood,
and prevent the Authorization of our
State. Our duty is plain and slmplc.
We must organize in every city, town
and township in the State; our forces
must be woll disciplined, and in No
vemDeF next we will present e solid
and invinoible front to the enemy.
Tho oOrrup tionisL with their negro
followers can not defeat the white
mon of this State if they will organize
and go to work. Victory is within
our Eaach if we will only stretch forth
cur hands and grasp it. The people
Of the lower section of the State,
whom above all others, had better
reasons for favorng coalition policy,
are now thoroughly aroused, and al
ready meetings arc being held for the
purpose of taking the preliminary
steps to an organization. In Char
iestioh the largest meeting since 1868,
has been held in the Hibornian Hall,
composed OF the most intelligent and
influential citizens of the city. At
this meeting resolutions of no unccr-
tain tones, condemning the election of
Whipper and Moses, and looking to
che organization Of the white people
of the State, and its final redemption,
were enthusiastically adopted.
Meetings in Sumpter and Williams
burg Counties have also been called,
but we have not yet seen the results.
Shall Pickens be behind her sister
Counties in the matter of organiza-
tionT We trust not. Greenville is
moving off and will soon be thorough.
ly organized. Lot Pickens follow,
and contribute her full strength to the
redemption of tho State. Therc
should and must bo no laggardncss in.
this matter We will have no strag-
lers in November next. Every man
who loves his State, and desires to see
her once moro under the control OF
honest and competent men, must fall
into line. Let every man do his whole
duty and fear not the results. Honest
Republicans will fail in with the De-
mocrats, and victory will bo assured.
The press Of tho whole country, re,
gardless of politics is with us. Eel
low citizens of Pickens, without re-
gard to past political proclivitIcs, fall
into line and march square to the
'front.' You have groat and impor~
tant duty to perform. Your mother
cries ont for helD and nsks vou IN do,
liver her from the hands of plundorcrs
and thieves. Will you not respond? |
Yes. We need not ask the question,
for Old Pickens has nevor been behind
any, when duty and patriotism called
her, and mono will march ahead of her
in the present crisis. Then let us orr
gaDize at once, and put our house
hold in order.
