olutions:
It's our privilege to-day to congratu-
late the people Of South Carolina that
peace and tranquility prevail throughout
the State; that the protection of proper
ty, the security of life, and the rights of
the humblest citizen are secured by the
supremacy of lau and its faithful admin
istration !: that this supremacy of Law un-
der Democratic administration, unaided
by judicial process, has driven from the
State the horde Of political cormorants,
who, for eight years, governed it in
iniouity, robbed its treasury of millions,
and with villainous audacity reduced the
State to degradation and ruin, and that
now We have government administered
in purity and wisdom, and commanding
the respect and confidence of all classes
of its citizens. And, whereas, this great
reform, was accomplished as the result OF
tne guccess of the Democratic party in
the contest of 1876, under the guidance
and inspiration OF its great and beloved
leader. Gen. WADE Hampton, who gave
himself to the State that he might re-
deem it from the power of Republican
tyranny and plunder; and, whereas,
Gov. Hampton, in the administration Of
the executive department, has e,7inced
that irmness and impartiality in the en-
forcomento of the laws which have brought
peace to the State and security to all its
citizens, and that wisdom in council
which was equal to the exigencies Of the
sppalline difficulties which surrounded
him. Therefore, be it
Resolyed, That we have increased con-
fdence in the wisdom and craftsmanship
of Gov. Hampton to make the future OF
South Carolina as pure and glorious IS
was her past renown, and that we sre as
sured that her honor and welfare are Sc
cure in his hands.
Resolved, That it is tho sense of this
