hoods written about our people by de-
signing politicians or paid minions Of
the bloody shirt campaigners. We pro-
nounce the letter a tissue of lies from
beginning to end, in every material state
ment made in it. The letter reads like
those written by professional correspon-
dents, and must have been so, for any
other than practiced liar could not
have put so much of falsehood in it.
We do not believe that any sensible man
in the State expects or thinks of getting
pay for the liberated slaves, or of hav-
ing the Confederate debt paid. Of course
we cannot say that there is no man who
holds these opinions, but we can say that
we have not met a single man who has
said one word about these, or either Of
these subjects, and there has not been a
single line in a newspaper in this
State advocating either, that we have
seen or heard of. The platform of
the Democracy of this State is SOL
emn pledge to accept as irrevocable the
results of the war, and Gen. Hampton
has pledged his sacred honor to sustain
the reconstruction acts if elected. He
has never made an infammatory speech in
this canvass, and whenever he speaks of
the United States soldier does so in terms
which are respectful and complimentary,
and whoever represents him as speaking
otherwise is a malicious slanderer. AS
to personal danger there has not been a
white Republican hurt in the State
during this CANVASS, and no colored Re-
publicans have been troubled for political
purposes except in the Hamburg and
Ellington riots, which were begun and
carried on by them, and the whites were
obliged to defend themselves. We dc
not fear truthful contradiction when we
say that so far as we have been able to
learn, land we exchange with nearly all,
if not all, the State papers) the Demo
Gratis have not even committed an excess
in any except the Hamburg riot, and the
Republicans refuse to bring them to trial
about this matter until after the election,
because of the strong showing that can
be made against the Republicans in this
matter.
While this is the fact, Democrats have
been killed in the Hamburg and Filing
ton and Charleston riots. Others have
been beaten by Republican mobs, and
houses and gins have been burned. The
