these ISLANDERS, although seconded by
a venal dress resorting to all the de-
vices which the most ingenious malice
could suggest. Besides this, all sorts
of ISLANDERS were secretly whispered in
to the ears of our country people re-
garding my personal and private
character, until could not be met. de-
MED or refuted, until after the election,
because not openly avowed or known
to me ut the time.
Let it be understood that 1 am not
complaining or blaming those of our
innocent or unsuspecting people who
were thus led to vote against me, but
now that the campaign is over and the
result declared, am satisfied all fair
minded men will carefully review tho
wrongs done me and will place their
righteous Indignation upon the guilty
parties and point the finger of scorn at
those unworthy of belief. l am willing
to leave the whole matter with the peo-
pie, for I am sure thatto many, even of
those who voted against me, a sober
second thought will come, which will
convince them ofthe great injustice that
has been done, and 80 far as my enc
mics are concerned, time will bring it's
revenges.

to my opponents. One of them is be-
meath my notice after having been 30
contemptuously repudiated and scorned

say nothing against my successful op-
ponent. II must be admitted that he
was not elected on his merits rs Con-

but has become simply the beneficiary
of the SANDERS that were heaped upon
me and elected by the turning votes of
the small minority who preferred q
slaEderer to either of us. l hope that
he will prove useful and valuable
member of the Senate.
In conclusion, l would say to the
people of South Carolina and to the
Reformcrs, in particular, that while 1
am disappointed in my aspirations, /

of the Reform party or in the counsels
of the true Democracy. / expect to

have been in the past ten years.
