WHEREAS, The Republican party of this
County, in a convention held the 9Th inst,
at Anderson Court House, resolved to make
no nominations for the fall elections, and
chat they would vote far no one who would
not go before the people on his own merits,
&c. Therefore belt -
RESOLVED, That the Democratic organi-
zation in South Carolina has for its sole
object the redemption of this Slate from its
present and past degradation and corrup-
tion, brought on by Radical rule, and for the
accomplishment of this end we invite the
cooperation of all good and honest men of
every class and name.
RESOLVED, That the Democratic party
does not ask direction directly nor indirectly
from its enemies, who are also the enemies
of good and honest government, and when
offered we recognize in it desire to destroy
the unity of the party that Radical rule may
be made victorious and triumphant in this
County.
RESOLVED, That we recognize in the
proceedings of the Radical party fixed
will and determination to bring out their
candidates as independents, who claim to be
Democrats, to the end that the vote of the
Democratic party may be divided and its
candidates defeated. >
Resolved, That We recognize but two
parties in Anderson County, to wit. The
Democratic party and the Radical party.
RESOLVED, That the Democratic party
will nominate its candidates either by pri-
mary elections or by convention, as the sub
