the day will come when South Caro-
lima will rid herself of the barbarous
political buzzards of the north that
have fed on her carcass for the last
eleven years and robbed white and

For ten years Mr.. Carlisle tried to
run down that report OF his Cynthiana
speech, but It had too big lead. At
one time he thought II overtaken and
side.tracked. but several years later
the Tribune OF this city resurrected II
in the original form. Mr.. Carlisle ex.
planned: Il did not say that the gov.
ernment is a vicious system, but that
at that time the policy of the admin.
istration was vicious; I always held
that the constitutional right to secedo
did not exist; there was no verbatim
report Of the speech. for no reporter
was present: an opposition paper
picked up from the audience few
stray recollections of what | said,
strung them together and published
them" But the lie never was nailed
