Help Those Who Help You!
The earnest recommendation Of the
Ncrs and Courier that the SUPP ortcrs OF
Hampton in tho present canvass, should
give the preference, in every profession
trGsic and occupation, to these WHO arc
willing to work for the redemption of
South Carolina, appears TO meet with
general approval.
Steps have been taken in several Coun-
tios, besides Charleston to give effect TO
the Preference policy. Lii Columbia AN
Intelligence Office has been opened, under
the management of Mcssrs. Lee Hagood,
James +. Gadsden, Winthrop Williams,
and Coleman Beatt;e, where persons Sin
accord with the party of honesty and ro-
form, who are in search of employment or
deserve patronage" may enroll their
names, and whore applications may be
places for any of Hampton's men. The
Darlington landowners are determined
to give the preference to Hampton's men
in the renting of land and the hiring of
labor, and similar enlightened policy
has been agreed to in several townships
in Marion. One capitalist in the middle
country, who has lent 81 600 this yenr to-
small farmers, chiefly culored men, on
agricultural liens, hes given fnir notice
that hereafter all the money he has to
lend, TO the last dollar, will 70 to the fol-
lowers Of Hampton. Merchants in diff.
fercnt places arc taking the same stand.
They will give credit to Hampton's men
and none other. In Greenville one white
planter has notified his hands that in the
event Of HamptOn's election he can nf-
ford to pay them, and will pay them,
three dollars ~ month more than he now
pays them. Those laborers are as zeal
otis Democrats as any in the County.
The feeling everywhere is that tho col
ored people must be made to understand
that their interests lie directly and ,ipme-
diatclv not indirectly or remotely, with
the advocates of honesty, fidelity and
economy in public affairs. The Clarcr-
don Press says very truly that no alternu-
tive is left: "If the coiored Republican
expects Inc friendship and assistance of
the owner of property, he must show
himself his friend. He cannot complain
if he does not enjoy the property which
he assists Others in stealing. SO long us
he arrays himself among the enemies of
the prosperity of the State, he cannot ex-
pect the support of those who are fight
leg to save littlo from the harpics of
the Radical party" And the same sub
iect is treated, more at length, by the Alb
bevillc Medium, which says:
"This movement is eminently wine and
proper, and should obtain all over the
State. For years we have submitted to
the most villanous oppression TINT the
world has ever known. Our money has
been stolen, our property squandered, our
lives endangered, and every indignity
! possible to the depraved lusts of the dom
! inant party has been; heaped upon us
without complaining, or the, least show oi
resistance on our part. We have sup
ported our enemies with our friendship
and ourlmoney we have given them en-
| ploymcnt, hired them to till our lands;
and treated them with all Kindness and
civility. In return for these things they
have abused our confidence and persist
emily refused to help us in building UP
the PROSTATE State. They have voted
with the Radical party time and again,
and spnrncd every profftr of friendship
from us. They have alienated themselves
from the citizens of the soil, and formed
an alliance with the vilcst crew Of cut
throats and assassins of the century, and
should no longer receive any countenance
or aid from us. Let tho Democrats give
their support only to those who go with
them to the polls and vote for good and
honest government. We own the lands
and tho houses the moneycd capital OF
the country is in our hands, and we owe
| it to ourselves that no man who stands by
the Radical party in this last dire ca-
trcmity Of the State receives dimes
worth OF encouragement from us in any
manner, shape or form. Federal bnyo.
nets cannot affect us mere. Every Ameri-
can citizen is supreme in the administra.
ton of his own personal affairs. While
we deny mid to all those who 60 against
us in this last fight against the enemies
of good government, let us meet every
accession to our own ranks with show
Of material friendship"
| The argument is unanswerable with
impartial and intelligent men every.
where. It is forcibly put by the Phila
dclphia Times which, in reply to the cor
gans" that denounce the recommends.
tions of the Neus and Courier as treason
able, says: "Thc organs shut their eyes
to the fact that things in Charleston
