Free Speech,

There is no longer any doubt of the
attempt to swing South Carolina by
force into line with the other southern
states, as she stood but few months be-
fore the attack on Sumter in 1861. On
Saturday, the 18th inst, an attempt was
made to hold republican meeting at
Edgefeld. The " chiyalry " took pos
session of the ground and announced
that they would permit Gov. Chamber
lin, republican, to speak half hour,
who would be followed by democratic
speakers, among whom was Butler, the
4" hero of the Hamburg massacre.
Others of that same band of assassins
we're also present, one of whom had
three pistols in his belt the others two
only. The negroes were not allowed to
come near the stand. Gov. Chamberlin
spoke for half an hour, avoiding all
cause of offence, as he plainly saw that
every republican was there at the peril
of his life, as the assassins present only
wanted some pretext to commence a
slaughter of republican voters He was
replied to by rebel, Gen. Gary, in a
most indecent, insulting and profane
speech. Judge Mackey followed on the
sameside, and the closing speech was made
by Butler, the head assassin at Ham.

not allowed to speak, and in addition

The Campaign.

In most Of the counties of the State
the political campaign has become ac-
tive. In the northern counties the list
of appointments are numerous from now
till the day of election. Thus far the
least has been done in Windham and
Windsor counties, but they are coming
in ON the home stretch. !" Windham
county is rousing both south and north,
and most of the towns will poll good
vote. In Nottingham, Wilmington,
Jamaica, Grafton, Londonderry, Brat
tleboro, &c, we have special assurances
of a good vote and there is no doubt Of
it. The result of this work will tell
handsomely in September, but don't let
the towns in the north part of the State
beat us at the south end. There are yet
several towns in this section where there
is apparently much apathy. Bring out
the full republican vote. Organize at
once for it, and thus help swell the grand
majority which shall have in it the ring
of the true metal.

The republicans of northern and
western Vermont are fully alive to the
election in September. In some sections
almost every town has its meetings and
speakers. There are yet ten days left
before the battle and victory, and if
Windham and Windsor counties are not
up to other portions of the state in dem
onstrations, let us beat them on the full

Tilden in his letter, charges the gov
eminent with extravaganza and squan-
dering the public money, and gives very
good financial maxims for individuals,
which he says are equally good for the
government. True. But the point he
intends to make against the government
and administration does not hold. In
the first place the government has not
squandered its money, which is very
easy to prove Certain corrupt individ-
uals in both the republican and demo
cratic parties have become thieves and

The Irish In Massachusetts.

We thought it would come. The dem
ocrats of Massachusetts, have for a week
or two been very sanity in their profes-
sions towards that great statesman"
Charles Francis Adams, for governor,
and have thereby run against the Irish
who do not propose to 60 for man who
was so cool towards the Fenians while
Minister in England. The Irish have
reason to feel that the many generations
of their countrymen who have been sub
ject to the British government, in vari-
Gus ways, are entitled to some sympathy
from men who profess to love liberty
and free government, and man who
sympathizes more with England than
Ireland, especially with reference to the
Fenians, is not the man they want for
governor in Massachusetts. According
ly the Irish Of Lawrence, held meet
ing Monday evening last, wherein they
took measures to oppose the nomination
of Adams, and if the democrats continue
to press him on the party in that state
they are likely to have something be-
sides bed of roses.

During the seven years in which Tam

public money from New York City,
Samuel j. Tilden was in full fellowship
with that party and especially with its
