that armed collisions with the blacks
should be forced on the whites, thus sup
plying raw material out ofwhich they
would manufacture the bloody shirt to
wave before the eyes of the country as
true emblem of the South Carolina De-
mocracy, with the view to influence the
result of the elections pending in Ohio
and Indiana, and thereby the election OF
Hayes and Wheeler, the candidates
which I have supported throughout my
canvass in this State. To avert the exc.
cution of this sanguinary scheme l called
upon the chairman Of the Democratic
State Executive Committee, at Columbia,
and, in presence Of Colonel James A.
Hoyt and Judge T. H. Cooke, urged the
withdrawal of the TiLden and Hendricks
electors, to prevent the negro from. being
sacrificed to what thought the Republi.
can leaders deemed the supreme political
necessity Of firing the Northern heart in
the interests of Hayes and Wheeler. ]
I then and there stated the programme,
which appears since to have been execu.

proclamation of the Governor to which
have referred. The negro appears, by

has been associated from early life, and
who are disposed to view him, even in
his fercest mood, more in sorrow than in
anger.
A distinguished writer upon the game
of whist has stated, "When in doubt play
a trump" The carpet-bagger's code is,

ardent and pushing blacks are thrown
perpetually by their leaders, like living
cannon balls. against the solid column Of
the whites, and the negro is invariably
broken by the impact. Indeed, the wal
itself furnished an illustration of the diff:
ference between the views of Southern
and Northern men in utilizing the negro
The Southern white man advanced far to
the front to save the negro, while the
North sometimes sent the negro far to the
front to save the white man. Governor
Chamberlain is thoroughly familiar with
the best mode ofutilizing him in polit.
ical canvass, and understands how to serve
him up as first class horror.
THE REPUBLICAN PROCESSION.

of the mendacity Of the age is contained
in the statement of the Republican, State
