ALTHOUGH the keynote to the South Car.
olina campaign was sounded at Hampurg
some time ago, Gen. Wade Hampton has
taken it up and prolonged it in the speech
with which he has opened the political ball.
He announces to his Intelligent fellow-D Dem
crats' that "the time has come when we must
rule the State at any risk" From the way
the campaign has thus far been carried on, it
looks as if the negroes had taken all the risk.

SAM Cox recently said: "If Tilden is not
elected President, then, in the language of
JACK Falstaff, 'am l soused gurnet.'" He
might have selected much more appropri-
ate quotation from the fat knight, and said;
III Tilden is not elected President, then
there is no purchase in money!"

The Democratic papers excuse Tilden's
evasion of the full payment of his income
tax in '52 by charging that great many
others acted just as dishonesty. That is
possible; but he is The only one of the

Reasons for DiStrusf

Reasons for distrusting the Democratic
party are as plenty as peaches in August, and
scores OF them are to be had for the asking.
The following are but few why the people
should refuse to give power into the hands OF
the Democracy:
1. 1t encouraged the dangerous heresy of
States Rights, and educated the people of the
South to rebel against the Government,
2. 1t refused, when in power. to take
steps against the threatened disruption of the
Union, and permitted til rebellion to assume
formidable proportions when prompt action
would have crushed it in its inception.
.. BY its oft-expressed sympathies for the
reoel cause during the prosecution of the war
it held out false hopes to the Confederates.
and thereby prolonged the conflict at the ex-
pense OF hundreds of thousands of lives and
millions of treasure.
A. When victory was about to crown our
efforts to preserve the Union it resolved in
national convention that the war was fail
ure, and demanded that it should cease.
5. Since the close of the war it has placed
every obstacle possible in the way of an hon.
orabie and peaceful adjustment of the ques-
tions growing out of the abolition of slavery
and the changed condition of affairs Incl
dental to the close of an exhaustive war.
8. 1t opposed in Congress, and in the sew
eral state legislatures, the adoption of the
thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amend
ments, and, failing to defeat theri. has con-
tinued its opposition by teaching its followers
in the South that they are not bound to obev
or respect them.
7. 1t has approved, either by silence or
open defense, the outrages committed by the
Democrats of the South on those who DIFF
fered from them in political opinion.
s. 1t represents the worst elements of So
ciety, the ignorance and vice of the North
and the disloyai sentiment of the South.
g. Its return to power would tend to des
troy our credit by adding to our already heavy
debt claims of doubtful character growing
out OF the rebellion, and pressed 1or paw
ment by Democratic influence.
10. It's the same old party that was driven
from power in 1850 by an indignant people,
whom it attempted to betray. 1t is false in
everything that constitutes honorable organ
ization, and is unworthy of trust or conf
dence. For the reasons given it ought not
to be trusted by the American people.

The Presidency.

We have delayed our paper 50 that we
might lay before our readers the result Of the
meetisg of the Presidential Electors in the
various States of the Union, yesterday. The
Electors met in all the States and cast their
votes, In the heretofore disputed States
of Florida, South Carolina and Louisiana,
Republican Electors have been declared elect
ed, and their electoral votes have been cast
for Hayes In Louisisns the Democratic
electors received certificates from McEnery, q
would be usurper of the Governors office; in
Florida the Democratic Attorney General,
who was member of the Returning Board of
that State refused TO sign certificates of elec-
ton for the Hayes electors and gave certifi'
Gates to the Tilden electors. In these States
and South Carolina the Tilden electors met
also and cast their votes for Tilden. In Ore
) gon, although it is not disputed that the State
went nepuDuCdu Dy low hogoitJ, eAS D
ocratie Governor refused certificate to Watt;
the Republican elector, because it was alleged
that he was postmaster and ineligible, and
without the shadow of law issued it to MS
Democratic competitor. Notwithstanding
this the Hayes electors met-the ineligible
member resigned and was reappointed' ano
the vote of the State was cast for Hayes, and
the returns were signed, sealed and forwarded
according to law. The Democrat who was
certified by the Governor also filed his Boaro
sud voted one vote for Tilden and two tol
Hayes. 1t is not likely that with the prece
dents and law all to the contrary Mr. Illden
can steal his wanting vote in Oregon Sum
ming up the entire case, the Republicans still
hold the fort, and Hayes & Wheeler have lSt
electoral votes-one majority over Samue
Jones Tilden.

THE eighth annual message OF Presi-
dent Grant TO Congress, was delivered
on Tuesday, and is printed in supple
ment to this paper. While il is not
remarkable as State paper it will be
read with much interest, and no doubt
will command an unusual degree of at
tention. AS it is his last message to
Congress, an opportunity is afforded
him to make brief retrospect Of his
administration, which he does with a
maniness and modesty, which Will be
admired. He admits with frankness
that errors have been committed du-
ring his career, but these were errors OF
Judgment and not of intent, as he al
ways acted with conscientious desire
to do bis whole duty under the law, and
to subserve the best interests of the
whole country. But We presume most
Of our readers will prefer to read the
document, as it is brief, so we defer fur
fher notice.

! THE performance in the House on
Monday, shows that the Democrats do
not mean to let parliamentary rules
stand ia their way. Members-elect
were excluded until Speaker was
elected. A member from South Caro-
lima, bearing the regular certificate,
was refused admission, the fact of the
admission of Colorado as State was
disputed, and the Representative ex-
cluded, and Hewitt's resolution for a
committee to find pretexts for the
House to carry out the Tilden pro-
gramme, by objecting TO the Electoral
votes of States, was passed by tramp
ling on the rules.

following, among other grounds. That
she Is of bad character; that she claimed

herself killed her child; that she hewed

her care for the Republican party was
so much stronger than for husband,

To General W. Il. Sherman, or Secretary OF
War, Washington:
1 have carefully abstained from inter.
ference with the organization of the
House from the first. On application
of the Governor, and my own belief
for the necessity thereof, or for the
preservation of the peace, | placed
troops at the State House, but not in
the rooms of the assembly, of either of
the houses, on the day of meeting.
Itcame about that for time soldiers
were placed OIL either side of the door
of the entrance to the hall of Represeu-
tatives, under the following circum-
stances: A person at the door of the
House, and who claimed authority to
examine the certificates of those claim.

mission to the hall, but who 1 think
had no legal authority for 80 doing, ap-
piled to the officer in command Of
troops placed in the corridor for pre-.
Of the peace, for assistance.
on the ground that he was being press
ed upon and could not perform his
duty. Soldiers were placed as stated.
AS soon as l was fully informed of the
l ordered the soldiers
withdrawn, as l had previously in.
formed Governor Cham berlain [ should
confine my action to the preservation
of the peace, and should do nothing
with reference to keeping the doors
Of the rooms of the houses, or the
rooms themselves, unless it became ne.
because of breach of the peace.
which the civil officers of the Houses
should be unable to restore. No act
was done by soldiers except that of
presence, as stated but whilst they
were 30 present persons claiming the
right Of entrance under certificate of the
Clerk OF the Supreme Court were re.
used admission.
