TO the people of South Carolina:

10 the peoplO OF Souln Caloliua:
Open your eyes. look around you and
see where you stand at this juncture OF
time. The war between the States has
been numbered among the things of the
past and yet the Yankees and their fawn-
ing allies will not le. US alone. for one.

timd slave" Had not the worst element
of our country got into national power.
through showers of rotten eggs and other
like merited indgnlties. we would have
had peaceful, quiet people to-day. The
fanatics who have been picking at tie
Southern people for the entire term of their
damnable existence, have not only broke
up the old Whig party, but have even sue
ceeded in debauching the Democracy of New
York State, by blacking the face of her
once fair and spotleSs Judiciary. Even
Governor hamberlain, most positively re-
fused to use the same kind of brush on the
face of the Judiciary o: South Carolina.
0. what shame it is, for State or na-
ton t., evolute backwards. and then have
the face to tell us, they are on the road
to progress. Did not these same fanatics
hiss Mr.. ToombS. of Georgia. in one OF
their public halls? Did he not rebuke them
thus: "You don't hiss me. bnt yon hiss the
constitution of your fathers" Yes. and
they have been all their lives kissing our
national constitution; anil they will do So
to the end of their fretful days.
Did not Mr. TombS denouRc ce them both
before and after onr late war. in much
more bitter words, than did either Gov.
Evans or Senator Ti!llnan? Did he not
hurl the most scathing and well.merited
anathemas at them in Atlanta since 1.-THE
war between the States? Did not George

thinks I snuff treason in the tainted
breeze" Did not Calhoun, Hayne and
other great statesman of our country. tell
them of their meaness and want of ma
tiolal faith? What good did it do? Why
they only went on at the same rate, until
they plunged this beautiful land of ours.
into the wer which We have just passed
through Did they not prohibit the great
Webster from speaking in one Of their
national halls, inst because he would not
allow them to think for him? Did they
no. deliberately endeavor, to stir up ln-
surrectons before 1.-The war between the
States" throughout the whole South? Are
they not clapping their hands for JOY a
this time; at the prospect Of our cotton fac.
tories demanding protective tariff.
Because Senator Tilman happens to see
such an evil ahead of the South. and calls
halt upon Northern capitalists and cheap
labor coming down here. the Atlanta
Journal Ia kes it upon itself. to Insult South
Carolina, through her Governor and most
gifted Senator A little one-LorSe North
