An Humble aud Christian Letter from

Gop. d., H. Chamberlain, Columbia, S. c.:
[ Your proclamation, pronunciamento,
manifesto, ukasc, illumination, or what
ever else it may be termed, has been duly
received and contents noted" l am
happy to inform. you that we have but
one rife club of white men in Edgeheld
County, and that exists under and by
virtue Of chartered rights granted by the
Legislature and approved by the Govern
or; and if by virtue of your authority as
commandeS-in-chief of themilitary forces
of the State, you order them to disband.
why: of course they will have to "squan-
sderaianda ground their arms, and will I
presume reorganize, without arms, as a
Democratic club, and call their officers,
president, vice president, wardens, &C.,
&C., instead of their high sounding, rebel
lious,, military titles.
/. We have thirty odd Democratic clubs
in this county, organized of course to de-
feat. your election. and the election of
"youfr people y and 1 am happy to be- the
medium Of announcing to you, that here
after they propose to abandon the "rebel
yell" which appears to shock your imagi-
nation so horribly, and I am requested by
the clubs, democratic clubs, l mean to
invoke your permission and gracious dis
pensation to allow them to indulge occa-
sionally in good square Democratic
"holler; instead of the "rebel YELL" The
latter, you know, is performed by each
fellow ."hollerin" on his own hook, and
it does sound a'ittle provoking to sensi-
tive ears but the Democratic "holler' is
done by system, and no man is allowed
to "'.holler" out of time, which makes it
smoother, you know, and not 30 grating.

innocent privilege. '!i!,t' g

pattern, as that they don't "click" worth
