Sir: As chairman of the State Executive
Committee of tho 'ircrnbnck Labor party
for South Carolina, charged with the su.
pcrvision uf the campaign for State and
Congressional officers now progressing,
deem it my duty to notify you that any
attempt To divide time, according to the
methods heretofore prncticed Ivy Demo
cratic pnrtiHuns, will be AN invasion OF the
right of free speech and asscnIblage.
These rights arc guaranteed both by the
Constitution of the State and Ofthe United
States, and we will resist any such inter
ference by all lawful means. In this con
nuciion allow me to call your attention
to Section !, ,...lU OF IicviSc, Statutes of the
United States and decision of United
tlf. ri in n l. l.u

W. WALKER RUSSELL, Esq, Chairman
State Executive Committee tirrrnhack
Labor Party, Columbia, :. C.-Dear Sir
beg tn acknowledge the receipt oi your
letter addressed to Gen. w. H. lZlnr
chairman Democratic State Executive
Committee. under date September 18TH
tSS2. .ts have the honor of being the
chairman Of the last mcntioncu commit.
toe, l presume the same is intended for
me. III reply l would say that your com
municutiOn is wanting both in propricty
anu reason. Without pnusing to discuss
the impropriety OF your letter. which is
aprai cnt Ia even the casual reader, l will
u,
SO far ns my observation goes, which
would warrant tho communication. In
Ornngchurg County we have had several
joint discussions. AT one, Il Democratic
meeting, MIR. Mcl.ano was accorded moro
time than any of tho Democratic speakers.
AT another, called in tho interest of Your
party, MIR. Wnnnamaker, democrat, was
given an opportunity to speak. II the
results of these meetings have not been
pleasing or satisfactory To you, know OF
no law and no article OF either the State
or Federal Constitution which is or has
been violated.
AT no joint discussion anywhere in the
State, so far rs my Information extends,
has there been All invasion of the right Of
free speech and asscsnbiapc, and the TN
easiness manifested i'll your letter (Which
you have seen lit to publish) must surely
arise from tho fact that the results of all
tho joint discussions, so far, have been
such as to convince even you that the prin-
cipleS ofyour party Will not stand the test
OF logic and reason. Again, there is no
"invnsion of tho right of free speech if
your adversary gets the better Of you In
joint discussion, by reason of the cause
"h!c!: ic cS101SGS GHG tile arguments iii
support 0t the cause.
fail to SEQ the application of Section
SEQ OF the Revised Statutes of tho United
States to tho subje ect upon which you
have taken the liberty to address me-
This section relates to National banks, u
subject about which there might prop
erly be joint discussion at this time, but
ono wholly foreign to that OF free speech
and the invasion of the right Of free
speech.
l am very respectfully.

Chairman Dem. State Tx. Com
Section $40 of the Revised Statutes, to
which Mr.. Russell refers, reads ny fol-
lows: ANY association may go into
liquidation and be closed by tho vote of
It's shareholders owning two-thir,is OF Its
stock
it is indeed difficult to imagine what
object Mr.. Russell had in view in refer
ring to the above section, ns there Is not
the remotcSt connection with the subject
about which he writes. Your correspond
ent ask ed Gen. Izlar to explain but he
seemed much puzzled, anl replied
'The connection between FREQ speech and
tho National Banks Is about as close and
pertinent as the resemblance between
tho Constitution of the United States mis-
stated in tho Greenback platform and the
instrument itself." The General further
said: "Evcn admitting that tho Demo-
cratic party Is III association, II ~ not de-
sirous of going into liquidation just yet.
and mono of it's shareholders will consent
to close it until the last Radical, be he
called Greenbacker, Republican or Inde-
pendent, shall have ceased to fight
against good government in South Caro-
lima. When tho Democratic party deter
mines to go into liquidation, or to wind
up its affairs and settle its debts to the
public. I am certain 1t will employ other
agents than the Republican, Greonback-
ers. Honesty and Intelligence will be
indispensable qualifications, and these
virtues are sadly wanting In that party.
as they have openly announced AZ their
watchword Not honor hut money" IA
to the volume of reports referred to by
Mr.. Russell, the General gays no had
never seen ''98 Ctto;'' that reporter hav-
ing published only tho 18th volume SO far.
1t may no that Mr.. Russell has seen tho
manuscript for such future volume, or
that his information was derived from
ex.Judge Mackey, and that tho Judge
had In his mind Peters Reports" with
which he seems quite familiar. $50 watch

Being unable to got satisfactory ex.
PLANTATION, your correspondent concludes
that Mr.. Russell meant that tho Green
back Radical Association expects to go
into ''liquidation" after tho 7th of No
vember next, on account of tho over
whelming Democratic majority, close It's
affairs, and, 1t Is to 10 hoped, settle its
debts to the public, not, however, with
Flat money.
