fore, most dangerous tool that
you are handling. Your leaders,
both white and black, are using
your votes for nothing but their
individual gain. Many Of them,
you have only known, heretofore,
to despise and mistrust, until COM
manded by your Leagues to vote
for them. Offices and salaries for
themselves are the heights of
their ambitions and so that they
make hay while the sun shines,
they care not who is caught in
the storm that follows. Already,
, they have driven away all capital
and credit from the South and
while they draw eleven dollars a
day, thousands among you are
thrown out Of employment, and
starve simply for lack Of work.
What few enterprises are carried
on are only the work of Southern
men, who have faith that the
present state of affairs is but tenn
porary. The world does not offer
better opportunities for the en-
ployment Of capital than are to he
found in the South, but will your
radical friends send their money
here to invest ? Not one dollar.
They would just as soon venture
on investments in Hayti or Libe-
ria, as commit their money to the
influence of your legislation. Cap
ital has learned to shun it as a
deadly plague.


We, therefore, urge and warn
you, by all the ties of our former
relations, still strong and binding
in thousands of cases, by a COM
mon christianity and by the ir,u-
tual welfare Of our two races,
whom Providence has thrown to-
gether, to be;~uro of tho course on
which your leaders are urging
you, in blind folly which will
surely ruin both you and them.


We do not pretend to be better
friends to your race than we are
to ourselves, and we only speak
where we are not invited because
your welfare concerns ours. If
you destroy yourselves you injure
us, and though but little, COM
pared with the harm you will do
yourselves, we would if we could
avert the whole danger.


We are not in any condition to
make you any promises or to pro-
pose to you any compromises. We
can do nothing but await the
course Of events-but this we do
without the slightest misgiving
for ourselves. We shall not give
up cur country, and time will
soon restore our control of it. But
we earnestly caution you, and
beg you in the meanwhile, to be-
ware Of the use you make of your
temporary power. Remember that
your race hes nothing to gain and
everything to lose, if you invoke
that prejudice of race which, since
the world was made,. has ever
driven the weaker tribe to the
wall. Forsake, then, the wicked
and stupid men who would in
volve you in this folly, and make
toy 'rselves friends and not ene-
mics Of the white citizens of South
Carolina.

Fo1D FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN
Every parent must he aware that child
sometimes shows a decided dislike to
certain kinds of food. In such case do
not compel it to eat what nature may in
stnctiyely reject as being unfit. 1t is easy
to distinguish between rooted aversion
and a mere whim, if you will only forego
that whichyou wish the ch Ia to overcome
the petty tyranny of your own will.
Even infants, after enjoying one kind of
food for weeks, will suddenly reject it, and
refuse to take the first spoonful. This is
the voice of nature, calling for a change
of diet and you will be wise not to dis
regard it.

conventions, have to declare a definite
position on the vital financial question


which, to say the least of it. has been
cowardly lodged by many of the State

the prostration of the business interests
of the country, inevitable Reputation

that a portion of the Union party of the
northwest now looks favorably upon the
proposition; but there is not possibil-
ity that it will prevail at Chicago, and
but little fear of it in New York The
main issue upon which there will be di-
verse policies declared will be that Of
reconstruction, and the resolutions on
this poinJ will be as radically opposed as
though they were respectively drafted
in Boston and New Orleans. In thirty
days more the most important campaign
of the country will have been formally
opened, not to have cessation or armistice
