itself failed, aud that the principles
which gave it life were therefore

traitors a"
General Hampton is now candidate
for Governor OF the State of South
Carolina, In which Is a town called
Hamburg. At a Democratic ratifica-
tion meeting, during the same year,
General &. A. Battle, OF the Rehel
Army, thus discOursed (:
Comrades, brOthsrs, year after
year you bore the Confederate flag
through fire aud tempest, and upon
more than two hundred battle-heIds
covered it with victory. Your i'm
perishable glOries are intrenched In
the impregnabie fortress OF the part,
and no power can dina their offul-
gence.
"Her fnTtitude (the South's) IN the
midst Of her desolatiOn has attracted
the admiration of the world, and now
the great Democratic party Of tile
Union throws over her banner In
scribed with the principles OF con-
stitutiOnal liberty for which she
fought, and am here tonight ts ask
you to come up to the altar and again
let us pledge to her our lives, our for
tunes and our sacred honor. The
Democratic party offers the most
honorable terms. IT indOrses princi-
pies for which yOu k.ught, not be-
canse it was the principle upon which
the COnfederacy was founded, but
the COnfederacy adopted them be-

fathers of American independence,
and were vlndica ted by the war Of
the American Revolution E"
During the same year, August Z, tile |
Brownsville Bee said
"Durlng the continuance of the |
war we were staunch supporters OF the |
Confederate flag. We glOried In the !
