i'll no way could the enthusiasm of
the Democracy of tho upper coun~

Fort Moultrio is to the soa-board-
an enduring monument to the pa-

echoes OF that secluded spot since
the great anniversary celebration
hcid there there twenty years ago,
when Bancoft and other national
speakers were present, and when
the silver tongued Preston, for the
last time, swayed the multitude by
his magnetic power. For Il century

together for veal or woe. And the
Democrats Of South Carolina, now
standing on common ground, hear

and gathering words of cheer ,and
inspiration from their lrcthrcn of
other States who have already
passed through the slough of Radi-
clllsm and stand on firm Democratic
ground beyond, would be nervcd
with the spirit and unfinchipn
resolution to initiate their glorious
