The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1878-08-22

SO far as South Carolina is con!
ccrnel, established upon sound
basis, with genuine principles Of
democracy porvading our body
polite, and prompting every
political act, with men Of
! tho most unsulliod character,
/ whose minds are thoroughly imbued
with thc peoples interest. Then,
in our present condition. together
with the hopeful prospect of con
tinuous melioration, our govern,
ment will be wonderful to contem-
plate. These happy circumstances
can never DO too highly appreciated,
and can never fail to raise u throb I'M
every heart that loves poace, honor,
prosperity and liberty, and to fill
with tho liveliost emotions and most
grateful recollections those who will
be tho recipients of all tho blessing
guaranteed under this glorious
consummation. With old South
Carolina thus reinstated in her!
former grandeur, with her good,
wise and heroic Executive, directing
with a PATRIOTS zeal and a patriots
devotion her most vital concerns ;
with her Legislative department
awe and assiduous in it's RESPONSE
bic dut'es, with the prosperity of
the people paramount to every 9th
er consideration with a judiciary
of spotlcss integrity, spurning alike
the partial alministratio of Justice
and tho foul pollutions Of bribery
dashing from its lips the poisoned
cup Of liceatious and dobasing SER
vitude, and planting itself upon
the firm foundations of truth and
roctitl,le, and dispensing to all the
consequent legitimate results, will
be transmitted the richest and most
honorable heritage to the latest
posterity. With those three branch
cs of government securely estab-
lishcd, with such officials as the
present incumbents, and with q
harmony Of feeling and unity Of
action such as prevailed amongst
our gallant soldiers during our late
unfortunate struggle, is there any
position which we may not attain
are there any results we may not
accomplish-any dee Is we may not
achieve 2 Then, indeed, our never
to -bc~forgotten ttItte-betL,tne days
will surely return, bringing with
them the propitious influences of
statesmen such rs the immortal
howndes, the great and sagacious
Calhoun, the energetic and brilliant
Hayne Of jurists such as Chcvcs,
Harper and 'O'Neall, whose cr.nins
WAS never furnished by an unjust
act, nor polluted by filthy bribe :;
of divines, as Thornwoll and Capers,
the purity of whose lives is a living
testimony of the faith they profess
cd, and of that religion which will
and only can raise man to u proper
elevation upon earth, and exalt him
i'll the pa~adiso above then, too,
OF lovely woman, whose province it
always has been to cheer onward
the desponding, to give statesmen
influence, and arm heroes for battle.
She will still continue to assert her
high prerogativo in fulfilling her
GolSgivcn mission, and will thus
erect to her virtuous and praise
worthy deods q monument whose
towering summit will stand immu-
table amid change, magnificent amid
ruin, the last remnant of earth'a
beauty, the last resting place of
heavens light. D
Furthermore. every interest of
our whole United States will en-
hancc in proportion to the appro-
pirate adjustment of our civil polity,
and this properly developed, win be
the harbinger of progress and en-
terprise on the most gigantic scale.
And in such q country as we possess,
stretching from tho dense forests Of
Maine to the broad prairies Of Texas,
and from the frozon peaks Of Alaska
to tho rcof- girt peninsula Of Flori..
! da, s'ombracing every variety Of
climate, and with soil which an
ticipates the husbandman' desires,
our commerce will again whiteh
every sea, our fields wave with the
fruits Of agriculture, and our mex.
haustiblo mines TEEN with the most
valuable IMMORAL productions" A
general system Of liberal education
will bo established, academies and
colleges will spring Zip in every
town aud neighborhood, with "tem-
pies of unrestricted piety reared and
dedicated to the living God, and
vocal with his praise" Finally, the
