TWO years OF its oxistanoe, we again warn its
members ngainst ths insdious advsaces Of
schemi ing interruptions par'isan politicians,
who have, from the beginning, been gra iually
insinuating the poison Of party pelitics
into its veins, not for the good Of the Farmer,
| as they 'ycopha nt'y claim, but for the as
cendancy ofa political party; and that party,
too, which has always p.rsistently and ma'ig-
nsntly hauaied the "bl,cdy shirt" in'the face
Of the people, 10 prevent the very thing tboy
now pre'end is ono Of their objec,s,-the
"clasping Of hsnis across the bloody ch.sm,"
and in every evsnt has proved itsslf to be
inimie'l t. the best Interests Of tho South.
