than perpetual war upon the South,


than perpetual war upon the South,
perpetual one ,nm powc", Il con,ln-
uous ctln!val Of crime. With this
danger impending it boAooves the
Sonthain States to fail more
promptly than ever into line nnl to
present solia front IN defiance OF
the liberty they have wtencnel from
a bitter un"elentin2 foe.
I, for one, do not believe that this
revolutionary attempt will succeed.
l have faith in the conservatism Of
the people of the United States. In
the hlseo.y otno Other country will it
be found thlt in thirteen yeus
after the close of IL desperate cou-
Hlct, twentv"=i 5ht persons wAo
wore upon their colllrs the W. e!5hs
of hlga military otli"c in the service
OF the lost cause, were actively par
tlcsplting in the sravcs5 Councils If
tEe nation; while t:e blood q NJ
one after the surren ler ex ii ,tcl his
alleged political offence. This cir~
cumstancc demonstrates the spirit
OF the people of the Uuitel States,
and averts the danger threatened
by the desperate and baf1led con-
spitators. Nevertheless, it is the
duty OF the Democracy of tho
United States to gain SO overwhel-
ing victory at the polls in 1873, as
TO utterly destroy all hopes of q
revival OF Rldic tlism in 1880.
TIE RESPONSIBILITY.
In conclusion, let mo again call
your attention to the responsibility
devotvlny on you. The trials vou
have undergone have given you
hEHadcr Vows and'have taught you
self control. You must be Just to
a., an, throw the egis of pIotec-
l3n around al classes. The CAM
pllgn IS not Yet begun. Bat after
the meeting IF the August Conven-
tlon it will be inauyurated. Then
al over South Carolina let the pco~
pie assemble together as in 1876
and pour ont fresh libatious, ana
let their hearts be ayiow with
pttrlotlc devotion to their coiamon
mother. SO that the sun shall set
on the fifth OF November upon a
State linally redeemed, :.nl n
people happy and fee. (Applause.)
