Gen. Hancock in his letter of acceptance
declares the thirteenth, fourteenth and fiji
tcenii amendments to the constitution to be
invio!able." This, we suppose, is another
way of saying that they must stand and that
thercslould be no attempt to repeal or reverse
supporters do not agree with him in this
view of the amendments
The Meridian (Miss) Mercury of Satur-
day, August Z, commenting upon that part
of lIancock's letter, says:
1t would be doing gross injustice to the
great mind which conceived and dictated
this otherwise admirable letter of acceptance
TO insinuate that he does not know and be-
lieve that these amendments are not nhere

and no man knows that better than Gen. Han
cock. Yet, knowing this, finding them there
/ a part of the constitution and accepted by
all the people without regarding how they
came there, Gen. Hancock having been II
Union soldier is no doubt thoroughly loyal
10 them, and this special reference has the dl,-
pen'dhce 81 pdndering to that Northern sen
tincnt so prevalent since the close of the
war, embedded in the cant phrase that the
results of the war must be secured"
We will not say that this special aluson
is distasteful to Southern people to the extent
that they will not support him heartily Lut
At ,oas not the agreeable thing 10 hare sad, as

time when, PROSTATE and helpless in defeat,
IL ras incorporated into tie organic lac 5y

their late abject slaves, are their political
equals, and that ii was done through motives
of revenge to humiliate them.
The Southern people harbor no more
thought of rtdeiihg against the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments Of the
constitution than Gen. Hancock, otherwise
they might break with him upon this special
reference which mars his otherwise admir-
able letter of acceptance. What's writ is

minutes then cut the corn off the ears
while as hot as you can put the corn at
once into the cans have the can almost
full, say within three-fourths OF an inch
of the top then fill the can up with
boiling water, and have the can soldered,
and put it into a can of boiling water. and
let 1t boil in the water for six hours.
III. To every six quarts Of corn, take
one ounce OF tartaric acid dissolved in
boiling water Cut the corn from the
cob, and put in sufficient quantity of wa
ter to cook. When the corn is cooking,
put the acid in. When done, seal air
tight in tin cans or glass jars. To pre-
pare for the table, pour off the sour water
and save it +; put in enough fresh water
to cook it for every quart Of corn add
one small teaspoonful of soda let it
stand a few minutes before cooking ;
while cooking, put in a teaspoonful of
sugar. If the corn turns yellow, there is
too much soda pour back some Of the
sour water until it turns white again.
When nearly done, season with salt,
cream and butter, same sfresh corn.

OF tartaric acid i'll one half pint Of water
cut the corn from the cob and cook it

How did Love sleep: The sweet mocn sailel

Until her tender glory paled
Before the rudy dawn OF light,
Love Law ershrined in bridal bowers,
And Kissed the sweets that come and go
Ffom far-og nelis-ffom all the flowers
That blow
How did Love wake ? The early beams
Had pierced the rose leaf where he slept
And, rising from his perfumed dreams,
Inio the dewy world he leapt,
slEsirg-soared upward into light
For day is but little pain,
And then It's night with soft delight
Again."

The charge that there can be no free polit-
ical discussion at the South receives addi-
tional proof--if any were needed-by the
experience of Mr.. J. Ii. Randall, Green
back orator, who went to Alabama and Mis-
sissippi, for the purpose of making campaign
speeches Mr. Randall now narrates the
story of his ill-treatmcnt at the hands of q
Southern mob at political meeting. At u
joint discussion to which he had been invit-
ed, at place called Shubuda, Miss, the
Democratic speaker was given the prece-
dence, and during the course OF his remarks
(as Mr.. Randall ccrtifes) he said
"The Confederacy still exists my friend,
I and jeff Davis, the best friend we ever had,
is yet our President and devoted to our in
terests, and if Hancock is elected, and we
have no doubt he will be, you will be paid
for all the property yon have lost through
Radical rule, and you must stand by the
great Democratic party, for solid South
will now give us entire control of the general
Government, and We will redress all our
wrongs"
When il came Mr. Randalls turn TO speak
he had proceeded but short time when he
was interrupted, first by shouts, and then by
brass band, which persisted in playing di-
rectly under his nose so long as he attempted
to continue He was obliged to stop, of
course, and at the close of the meeting lie
was served with the following

Our Democratic friends delight to call the
Republican party ''the party of hate" yet it
is not a Republican, but Democratic paper
the Charleston 6. c. Meas and Courier,
which says:
1--WE have no feeling for those who threat
en- our existence and disturb our peace but
bitter hatred. They have chosen to disturb.
the armistice that we the victors and the
powerful have allowed From now hence
| forth let there be no peace or federation for
the public enemies who have abused our
magnanimity and spurned our forgiveness
of past crimes. They have declared war
against us. Let them have it as long as there
is one of them. We mean that
that white skinned man or negro who delib-
erately enters the field fer u radical State
ticket will do so with the understanding that
he will hereafter receive no favors or recog-
milton from white men. Let them under
stand that there will be no employment for
them where it is possible 10 avoid it that
there will be no credit for them that from
them the last farthing will be relentlessly ex-
acted that the kindness OF masters will
cease"
These bitter words it is to be noted, are
not from the Okolona States, or from any
paper noted for especial malignancy. On
the contrary, the Charleston Meas and Coar-
ier has been considered one Of the most tol-
Grant, as it is one of the ablc5t of the South
ern papers. If the Meas and Courier feels
and talks in this way, we may be sure that
plenty of South Carolinians are talking in q
vein of yet bitterer hatred. 1t is to be noted
hat Ian nTa VII, ol, fIC Af,-Q
and Courier is the attempt by the colored
Republicans of South Carolina to exercise, in
peaceable and lawful way, their clear polit
ical right-the right of every American
citizen-to vote for the men of their choice

are once more organizing, as are the Repub-
licans of Mississippi, and Of other Southern
States, in probably hopeless effort to exer-
asserts is as freely granted to every black
man as to the white, they are informed that
they (and every white friend and ally of
theirs shall have war and hatred and pro
scription and oppression from their mas
ters." No man can read eparagraph above
copied, without seeing that the spirit of the
old STAKEHOLDER is still strong in the breast oi
this South Carolina journalist, and his broth
er Democrats. What the condition OF the
South Carolina Republicans is. is quite as
plain. They can have their rights-on or,s
condition that they make no attempt 10 eA-
ercise them. If they will keep away iron,
the polls and from political meetings, and
hold their tongues on all political topics. they
can have quiet but it is only al armiStice.
The violence anil hatred ami oppression are
only suspended, and will fall with added
force on the head of the luckless voter who
dares to show any signs of voting radical
State ticket. Is or is net South Carolina in
the Union? And is this or is it moi i free
