TIE GREAT STRUGGLE.


Neat Tuesday, November secOad,
the great political battle will be
fonght hetweeu the American peo
pie, and upon its result depends
Interests Of vital Importance To the
people Of the South and of the
hole nation. In this contest will
be decided whether the great body
Of American people condemn the
unblushiug frauds perpetrated by
the republican party tour years
ago, or whether they will sustain
the acts OF the party Of pluuder
and corruption. 1t the people at
the polls condemn the acts of
usurpatiOn aud fraud perpetrated
by the party in power Il dawn OF
peace and prosperity will break
upon the whole country, and fra
ternal feelings aud friendship will
be established between the sectious,
and an honest aud honorable gen
tleman will be placed at the head
of government in whom the whole
Union can put their trust without
the least fear OF being deceived.
On the other hand should the re-
publican party triumph Que OF the
most corrupt men who ever held
an Office will be elevated to the
highest position within the gift of
the people, the same proscriptive
policy, which has always been ad.
yOcated by the republicans, will be
carried out against the South, fraun
and corruption will be the rule,
rather than exception, and the
whole country will be in the hands
OF men who are an eye-sore aud
disgrace to civilization.
The only way to restore harmony
and good will between the North
and Sonth lies in the change of adj
ministration. 1t has ever been the
policy of the republican party to
keep up strife aud i'll. will between
the two sections. Their existence
as a party depends upon the
waving of the bloody shirt, aud
fighting over and over the. battles
of war that has ended fifteen years
ago. The people of the South, and
OF the democratic party, are tired
of war aud strife. What they de.
sire is peace, and they will support
no man nor set of men who con.
tiuually flaunt before the eyes of
the people red flag that their
passions might be aroused.
There is in the United States a
popular democratic majority of
over halt million voters, aud it lies
within their power to defeat the re.
publicans ut the polls next Tuesday
Ivy an overwhelming majority if
they will do it. The way and only
way to carry the day is for every
democrat to turn out and vote
right, and then work to get every
Que else to vote right. 1t will be
folly to say "this county or this
State will cast a democratic maiori.
ty without my vote, and there is
no reason why should go to the
polls" for unless you do cast your
vote others may remain away and
by this means 4 democratic county
or State may 20 republican by a
large majority. 1t is the daty of
every citizen to vote, and every
man who prizes an honest admin.
istration of affairs, low taxation
aud free government should turn
out and vote the democratic ticket.
If every democrat in the United
States will cast his vote there is
not the least doubt of Hancock

GREENBACKERs IN COUNCIL
Pursuant to call issued by j. 7. Jan
ney, Chairman of the Greenback Elk.
ecutive Committee of Berkeley Coun.
ty, that party held a County Conyen-
ton at King Street Hall, on Satur-
day last. Delegates were in atten-
dance from all but one District. 1t
was the purpose, as stated in the
call, to nominate county ticket, on
this occasion, but upon conference
of the leaders, it was determined to
postpone action, and on motion of
S. A. Lafevre, the Convention was
adjourned until Thursday Of this
week.
DR.. Randall, the Greenback Evan
gelist, was present, and upon invita-
ton addressed the assembly. The
doctor is rather radical in his utter
ances, and assumes too much of the
pressure Of public policy, to achieve
much success by his missionary eff
fort, yet as a relief from the monoto-
ny of previous campaigns, wherein
but two parties contested, the pres
ence OF the third ''Richmond in the
field" will no doubt be met with
some favor.

REDPATH'S HISTORY OF THE
UNITED STATES, from the aborigin-
al times to the present day, has been
brought to our notice by Rev. Q. Ii.
Whitlock, who is agent for its sale.
1t is work full of merit, and is
well recommended everywhere. Its
sale has already reached the i'm
mense number of 100000 copies.
Here is what Prof. Hyde thinks of
it:
~ have examined Redpath's His
tory of the United States with some
care, and am highly pleased with the
work. The prominently marked and
well defined periods meet a want long
felt by many teachers, and in this
respect will prove an Invaluable aid
in calling the attention of pupils in
a systematic manner to all the i'm
portant events in specified period.
1t will also be a valuable addition to
any well selected library. In my
judgment it is the best history of
the United States now published.
