WAS JVEVEtt
BEFORE
Rebellion and revolutions, wars and
contentions, are the &taplo of human
history. They may be traced back to
the days of Abraham, and to those of
the early Egyptians. Many rebellions
have succeeded, probably more have
been suppressed ; while wars have re
sulted in the success of this or of that
party ; but the spectacle was never till
nov represented of thoroughly beaten
V-nll. . i s-
ueoeis teroriziiig ana trampling on
those who compelled them to lay down
their arms. That spectacle is exhibi
ted at the South to day.
Gen. Wade Hampton is widely
known as an original Secessionist and
a fighting Rebel from the begining to
the close of the late war. He came up
here last month and helped nominate
Seymour and Blair, aod is now dsing
his utter most to secure their election.
Here is an extract from hia speech at
the first ratification meeting be attend
ed :
"We can have no. relief unless this
great Democratic party will come out
and pledge itself that we shall have a
fair election That the White people
of the South shall vote ; and I want
you all to register an oath that when
hey do vote these votes shall be
counted, and if there is a majority of
trnxte voles, mat you will place beymour
and Blair in the White House, in salt
of all theooyonttes that shall be brought
against them. I only want to see the
election fair, and if they do that, even
wiin tne incuous ot mack rule, we can
carry the southern state. I Applause
Here, you see, Hampton gives notice
at the outset lhat the votes of Blacks
bhall not count that the result shall be
decided by tbe votes of Whites only ;
and that, if Seymour and Blair shall
shall recieve a majority of these, they
shrill be inagurated "in spi.e of all the
bayonets that "shall be brought against
them." In other words, he proposes
that Constitutional Amendments, acts
of Congress State Constitutions, laws,
votes, and every thing else, shall be
defied, and the election decided by
Whites alone.
Still, there is "the incubus of Black
rule" that is, the Blacks do actually
vote in the late Rebel States. That
incubus" is tn he overcome. How

yield to none in devotion to that
Lost Cause for which we fought.
J ever shall I admit that the cause it
self failed, and that the principals which
gave it lite were therefore wrong
Jyever shall I brand the mtn. who vpneld
it so nobly as 'rebels and 'traitors.
Never shall 1 lgnomimously seek safe
ty or base r rcmolion by a dastardly
denial or treacherous betrayal of it
The past is irrevocable, and
it does not become brave men to weep
idly over its buried hopes. A noble
work, and I trust a higher destiny is
before us. Let us seize the opportunity
presented to us, and; by courage, per
severance, and zeal, chain victory to
our banners. I honestly believe trial
though 'tis not mortal to command sue
cess, we 11 do more we 11 deserve it
I conjure our people to dedicate al
their energies to the work before us
Organize clubs in every locality; send
speakers through all the land to arouse
the people. Try to convince the negro
that we are his real friends ; but if he
will not be convinced, and is still joined
to his idols, convince him, at least, tha
he must look to those idols whom he
serves as his gods to feed and cloth him
Agree among yourselves, and act firm
ly on that agreement, lhat you will not
employ any one who votes the Radical
ticKet. Ude all the means that are plac
ed in your hands to control this element
by which the Kadical party seek toue-
gr tde us while they secure euccess,
and we can turn their batteries against
themselves. It will not do to say that
the negro has no right to vcte; fer right
or wrong, he will vote in this next
election," nnd his vote may turn the
scale. Let us meet this as a practical
question, and seek, out of this great
evil lhat has been inflicted upon us, to
work good for ourselves. Secure vic
tory to the Democratic party, and we
have an easy and prompt solution in
that party of all questions which belong
of right to the States themselves, as
does the question of suffrage."
The blacks are, and long have been
a decided majority of the people of
South Carolina. Ihey do not mourn

nor seek to recover under Seymour
and Elair what was surrendered with
Lee and Johnston's armies. They are
Republicans having the best possible
reason to be and will vole for Gram
and Colfax as naturally as water runs
downhill. How, then, can South Ca
rolina be carried for Seymour, Bbir,
and "a White Man s government?
Simply by starving the Blacks into
votin" away their own manhood. Say
to them, "We own the lands, thft teams
the implements; you have bat your
hands, and must starve if we do not
employ yon; and we will unite in pledg
ing ourselves that 'we will not employ

Thus the party which does not la-
ment the overthrow of 'Tbe Lost Cause
is to be beaten by that which does.

Thi Will to be Tbaixkd. Men
often speak of breaking the will of a
nild, but it seems to me they bad bet
ter break its neck. The will needs
regulating not distroying. I should as
soon think of breaking the legs of a
horse in training hire as a child s will.
never yet heard of a will in itself too
strong, more thaa an arm too mighty.
of a mind too comprehensive in its
grasp, or too powerful in its bold. I
would discipline and deyelope tbe will
into harmonious proportions. The in
structions of a child should be such as
o inspire; animate and train, but not
to hew, cut. and carve: for I would al
ways treat a child as a live tree,
which was to be helped to grow; never
as a nry, dead timber, to be carved
nto tbis or that shape, and ' have
certain grooves cut in it. A living
tree, and not dead limber is every lit
tle child. &.

As soon as the General saw the state

"We did not need this to convince ns
that Mr. Seymour was not tbe bondhold
