IT was a Southern man, says the
Nashville american, who fired the
hearts of the people aud electrified
the colonies with the war cry of
"Give me liberty or give me death. "
1t was Southern man who drafted
the Declaration of Independence aud
moved its adoption. 1t was a South
ern man who commanded the armies
of the colonies, and wrested victory
from the English grasp, becoming
''the father of his country" In the
event of another foreign war you
wouldn't object to "a solid South, "
now would you' And when it comes
to raising Americas gold producing
staples the solid South is the producer,
and in the payment Of taxes the
South pays its solid share.

coLoRED MEN FOR T1LDEN,
From the Columbia Register.

At Democratic meeting at Bates
burg, S. c., on the 4th inst, there
were several colored speakers, among
them one Tom Watson, hard work.
ing field hand. He made a brave
speech, and so formulated the stua-
ton in regard to the colored people
of the South that an extract is we'll
worth printing. He said
The Radicals have been ruling this
Government for ten years, and their
motto has been Gle, cheat and steal,"
and to-day there is no money in the
country. My colored friends, we
have to labor hard every day to get
bread for our little children we have
to go barefooted and in our shirt
sleeves. went to EdgefeId the
other day and went into Lawrence
Gains ia leading RadicaD palace,
and saw carriage for his baby
that would cost 500 in New York,
and he had a white girl to roll it.
When his wife walked across the
floor she was dressed so fine you
could hear her "rattling" hundred
yards. | tell you, my colOred friends,
the Radical party is rotten. They
have been ruling thirteen States;
twelve of them have rotted down,
and the stills under the thirteenth
(South Caroiua) are rotted, and will
fall on the 9TH of November. There
is no such thing as party now ; it is
honesty butting rascality, and | tell
you rascality has got to get out of the
way. | have been voting for the
Radical party for the last ten years,
and, white folks, | will tell you why
| did it. These here carpet baggers
and scalawags came around and told
me to give them Office, and they
would tax you so that you'd have to
sell your land, and then we could buy
it. thought it would be mighty
nice to have big plantation, and
voted for them and told them to stick
on the tax. They stuck on the tax
they got land, fine horses, fine clothes
and plenty of money, but | have new
er got anything from them yet. 1
tell you another falsehood they have
been telling the colored folks. They
tell us that as soon as the Democrats
get into power, they will put us back
into slavery. tell you, my colored
friends, that it is impossible. The
whole world1s against slavery, the
Constitution of the United States for~
bids it, and the white people could
not put you into slavery ifthey would,
and they would't if they could.
At the conclusion of his remarks
Tom came forward to the front of the
stand, aud, with all the earnestness
of his honest soul. cried out "All
you honest colored men come up
here. Give me your hand and God
your heart, and let's have an honest
Government" A number of colored
men were Immediately enrolled in
the Democratic club.

IN a IlON ALITY" In VHB SENATE,
Commenting upon the statement
that three Southern States paid more
than twenty millions of the internal
revenue tax collected last year, while
the whole of New England paid less
than three millions, the Columbia
Register exclaims:
Southern men, look at this picture,
then on that. Behold the contrast !
And yet this same New England has
tscet0e Senators to t,0o from either of
the Southern States named. 1t is.
too, the express business of at least
ten of these same Senators to pirate
of Southern inferiority, and to preach
by day and by night the gospel of
hate against these Southern States,
who pay the piper while New Eng
land dances to the music.
New England is fond of insisting
that this country is nation and not
confederation of States. Perhaps
it would be we'll for the South to give
up an important portion of State
rights by favoripg an amendment to
the Constitution basing Senatorial
representation upon population. If
such an amendment should be adopt
ed New England would find herself
stripped of at least ten of her twelve
Senators, while the Senatorial repre-
sentation of the North, West and
South would be increased to a cor
responding extent. We are quite
certain that if such a scheme should
be attempted the country would soon
hear some strong State rights argu
mentS coming from Maine, Vermont,
Rhode Island, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts,.

leave his party to bad men and
break up it's organization merely to
follow the fortunes of an ambitious
man who can onl y succeed in his pur-

false men attempting to use organs
cation for disreputable purposes, let
them be crushed aud the party be
purified. Let US stand by the affairs
to defend the faith and not stray
from the fold at the mere bidding of
one man who may be expert in the
use OF language to magnify for his
own benefit existing evils and to
arouse the people against their
organization.
There are hundreds of men in this
district who boIted the organization

HOW A SYMPATHETIC JURY
WAS OVERCOME.

A lawyer in Milwaukee was de-
Tending a handsome young woman,
accused of stealing from a large un>
occupied dwelling in the night time !;
and thus he spoke in conclusion:
"Gentlemen of the jury, | am done.
When gaze with enraptured eyes
on the matchless beauty of this peer
less virgin, on whose respIendent
charms suspicion never dared to
breathe when behold her radiant
in this glorious bloom of luscious
loveliness, which angelic sweetness
might envy, but could not eclipse -
before which the star on the brow of
the night grows pale, and then re
feet upon the utter madness and
folly of supposiug that so much beau
ty would expose itself to the terrors
of an empty building, in the cold,
damp, and dead of night, when in
nocence like hers is hiding itself
amid the snowy pillows of repose !;
gentlemen of the jury, my feelings
are too overpowering for expression,
and throw her into your arms for
protection against this foul charge
which the outrageous malice of a
disappointed scoundrel has invented,
to blast the fair name of the lovely
maiden, whose smile shall be the re-
ward of the verdict which | know
you will give"
The jury acquitted her without
leaving their seats.
