The Democracy of America have always stood forth as devotedly attached to the Union, the Constitution and the wel fare of the country as they do to-day, yet for seven years they 'II have been divested of power, and It is only when the people are aroused from their delusion by the imperilled pontlition of the pu b lic interests, that they lhavdagain returned to us that confidence which it would have been well if they had iieyer parted with. " The all-important necessity of the day, on the part of, our political friends is:--trork! wonx!! WORK!!, We must be thorhughly organized and pre pared for the campaign. Every • man must Consider that he oweia personal duty in the Matter,-as Indeed he does, for there is no one do humble, but he is in some way more or less concerned In the Issues at stake. All the 'districts must be canvassed, so that wo may know where it will be most adiantageous to know our energies. The young _men must encouraged to lend ahelping hand. Those who have been led estray must. be brought • ek to the fold, and Democratic arguments placedin their reach, that they may know the distinctive questions which divide par ties, and no longer be misled by the iviles and falsehoods of the Opposition. . What we have said before we now refter [ate, and intend reiterating until we have waked the Democracy up to a full conscious ness of its truth, that the, most effective weapon towards success is, 14e wide distribu tion of sound and -straightforward toent news (paperi. . , One good journal in a fainily will do more towards moulding its political convictions than all other influences, and fifty copies cir culated in. any locality for six months will accomplish more efficient service than a doz en,itostly mass meetings. * The Democratic party has never displayed that zeal in supporting its press that it need ed, and to that cause, as unich as anything ,else, may be attributed its misfortunes during tbe.last ten years. In all sections of the country—even in the midst of the strongest Democratic localities—the. Radical press is more liberally sustained than• ours, and in many places the contrast is so great as al most to amount to a disgrace. • The time has come for these things to be changed, and for the Democratic party to enter upon a new method of warfire. Our papers ought to be spread broadcast over the land, and take the place of those which are now defiling the min& of the young and filling them with wrong ideas of Republican liberty. Our public men should avail "them selves of every opportunity that offers to im press the importance of these 'views bn the attention of the masses. Our local leaders should make a point of, devoting whatever spare time they can towards strengthening their county organs by procuring their friends , and neighbors' patronage. The low price of TWO DOLLARS per year at which the Observer is , now offered, if paid in advance, ought to ebsure the doub ling of our subscription list inside of the next six months. , - • Rut to place it within the reach of all, we offer to take air month sulmcriptaon3 at ONE DOLLAR in advance, with the privilege of commencing at any period desired, and of continuing, the paper at the 'same rate for the, balance of the year if desired. Xow Is the time to, begin the work, before the spring operations set in, and while voters have time to read, and reflect over the facts presented to them. Let it not be delayed under the impression that . the matter can be as well attended to by-and-by. More ad work can be rendered during the next two months than can be performed dur ing the entire balance of the campaign. A. six months' subscription commencing within the next two months, wilt continue until near the close of the,campaign, and havean immense influence over the mind of the vo ter who peruses the paper. We 'earnestly urge this important matter upon our friends as by all odds the most re liable means of helping the cause. - , Let every one of our present subscribers see his Democratic neighbor at once, and if he is not a patron already, induce him to sub scribe for six months, if he cannot for a year. Let those who can afford it, send copies to. hesitatinz voters, who may be influenced to support our candidates at the next election: Let clubs be sstablish6d and procure ten, twenty or fifty copies for free distribution wherever therb is likely to be a vote gained. Let this be the grand preparatory work of the campaign, and be assured that whenever other means are necessary there will be found an abundance of ready helpers for every part required. • We intend that, be the result of the con test what it may, no one shall have the op portunity to complain that we have failqd to fulfill our complete duty in the canvass. The Observer for the twit year will be more vigorous and outspoken than in any. previous portion of its career ; will contain more reading matter; and. It shall be our constant aim to present such material as will be productive of the most -beneficial results. We only ask for such co-operation as lac have a right to expect, and if the Democra cy of the North•Weet, are impelled by one; half our zeal and confidence, we promise such a verdict in this sections will gladden the hearts of, our friends throughout thr State.

The following letter, addressed by ex-Gov ernor Petty, of South Carolina, to Capt. 0. N. Butler of that State, but now residing in Baltimore, gives a graphic and deplorable picture of the present condition and future prospects of the great Southern s:tctiou of our country : P. GIMENSVILLE, S. C., .Tan. 19, , 1868. 0. En.-31y Dear Friend: In your hitter to my son you say that the North ern people are not aware of the true condi tion of the Southern States, and thatyou wish the to write something on this subject for publication. I am wi ling, as I always have been, to do anything; and everything in my power to enlighten the_ Northern mind as to the frightful and appalling condition of the South. But. it does seem tome that I can say very little not already known through the public press, to the whole reading com munity. It is Well known to the world that ten of the Simithern States have -been stripped of 'every. vistige of republican liberty, and placed, by the wicked and unconstitutional legislation of a Radical Congress, under a military despotism; for partisan purposes. It is equally well known that negni conven tions have-been ordered in all these States, for the purpose of establishing in them negro supremacy. In order to accomplish this, a very large portion of the most intelligent, virtuous and patriotic of the white race have been disfranchised, and are hereafter to be governed by their former slaves and unprin cipled adventurers of the • North ! -These facts are well known, and their consequences every intelligent mind may well anticipate. When slavery was abolished in the South ern States, if the people had been let alone in their State legislation and restored to the trlio,lll, all would have been well. They would soon have recovered from their ex hausted and crushed condition, and been once more a happy and prosperous people. They wnulii• have added hundreds of mil lions annually to the 'wealth of the republic instead of costing it. as they now do; a hun dred millions every year, through the freed men's bureau and a standing army. But the unjust, unconstitutional and suicidal legisla tion of Congress has paralyzed them forever, I fear. The negro is no lqnger that indus trious,useful and civil laborer which he once was, but an idle drone and pest to society. Inflated with his new and marvellous politi cal importance, he has abandoned his - former industrious habits and spends his time in at tending public meetings . and loyal league gathenngs by day and by-night. The whole race seem disposed to quit their work and resort to the towns and villages, where they may eke out an idle and wretched existence in pilfering and begging. The consequences are. that our fields and plantations are uncultivated, 'the country pauperized, at, the point of starvation, and filled with every grade of crime. , Not a ila) passes over our heatis'that we de not hear of some thett, housnburning, robbery, rape or murder. I wlltl mention one or two instances out of thousands which might be enumerat ed: Five negro men, last week; in Darling ton district, went, armed with guns, to a country store, robbed the store; killed the clerk, shot a woman in the house, and went to the dwelling of the owner and killed him. A short times since a parcel of negroes Placed obstructions on the South Carolina Rail road,--which threw off a train of cars in the night.tithe. Again, at another point on the same road, a number of negroes fired into the train, and came very near killing several passengers. Last fall,-at Pickens court, sev-- en or eight uegroes were convicted of-mur der, and seventeen or eighteen others sent to the penitentiary. Highway robbery, an of fence which was scarcely ever heard of in South Carolina for years past, has become a very common crime in the neighborhood of towns and villages. Thefts and burglary are of constant occurrence. In the country it is almost impossible to raise hogs, sheep or cat tle.—A gentleman told • me the other day that he had lost the last one of his sheep, forty in number, all stolen-by the negroes. Another gentleman, who had been Governor of the State, informelpe that he had eighty five hogs to kill last Tall, and that they were all stolen by the negroes except seven. The support of 8Q many prisoners and con victs in our jails and penitentiary is becom ing alarming. We shall not long he able to feed them; nor will the prisons contain them. The country is so much impoverished that it is difficult for the negroes to get employment, if they really wish to do so. The failure of the cotton crop throughout the United States, with the government tax and low price of the staple, has rendered it impossible for the planters to continue their busines the pre sent year. 'The difficulty, too, in 'getting the negroes to work during the past' year has discouraged and disgusted a great many. A. large cotton crop was planted last spring, and a great effort was made by the planters to retrieve their fortunes and give employ ment to the negroes, but universal failure and bankruptcy have ensued. am not able to state the - tailing off of the cotton crop this year, but the rice crop has alien front one hundred and thirty or forty thotisand tierces to twelve thousand tierces. The present year every one will have to devote his attention to the raising of a pro vision crop. He will not require so man.); laborers, and would not be able to feed them If he did. The negroes have nothing to live on the present year, and are unable to make crops by themselves. They will have to steal or starve. This greatly discourages fanning In the Southern states at this time. If you make a good crop of provisions, you bare no security that it will not be stolen or burnt up by the negroes. In regard to the political condition of the Southern States I am in deep despair, ; and, have no hope except in thereturning sense of justice oh the part of the Northern people. The idea of placing the government of these States in the hands of negroes is preposter :oust,- Absurd. None of them have property, .and not one in five hundred can read or write. In the recent election for members of a convention many of the negroes bad for gotten their names, and scarcely one in a hundred could tell after the election for whom be voted. They were controlled blindly by the loyal leagues. The tickets were printed in Charleston, with a likeness 'of President Lincoln on them. There never has been before such a wide field opened for the demagogues and unprincipled aspirants to office. The negro is the most credulous being in the world, and most easily imposed on by vile wretches who are disposed - to pan der to his Ignorance and passion. Emissa ries fain the North, white and black, have come-here and prejudiced him against the white race. lie has been told that unties he voted the Radical ticket he would be placed back in slavery, and that if he voted that ticket be . would hare lands and mules given him. In some instances the negroes actually brought with them bridles to take their mules home with. By ntilitary order in South. Carolina, ne- grocs are to sit on juries. In some of the dis tricts of this State the negro population is so much. larger than the white that they will compose almost the entire juries. tf n ve it will' be possible to administer justice, with such Jones, in complicated cases, is more than I can tell. lam equally at a loss to know how the offices of the State ale to 'be filled. - The "iron-clad oath" excludes from office all who are competent,and worthy. 'Phis diffb culty was foreseen by General Sick les,anti he requested of Conat ea the removal of the oath. OPTICfaI llerte has fret , 11 1 - , • same thing in Wanda. It will lye imposat- ble for the negroes and the worthless whites to fill some of these offices, or give the secur ity required by law. Property of all kinds, and especially real estate, has depreciated in value one-half or two-thirds during the past year. No one is - disposed to purchase anything, and foreign capital has been driven• out or deterred from coming he orinvestment. Property sold by the Sheriff brings nothing. The Marshal of this State told me the other day that ho sold a plantation, well Improved, containing two thousand acres, in Horry district, at pair' lic auction, to the highest bidder for five dol= lars per acre. Mules brought only five dol lars apiece. A great many persons are moving from the lower country, where there are so many ne groes, and that section of the State is des fined to become a wilderness. The same thing must occur in manv'portions of Missis sippi and other States. A gentleman just re turned front Mississippi tells me that lands, which rented last year for fourteen dollars per acre, were now offered at twodollsrs per acre, and no one would take them. Unless there is a reaction at the North, and better legislation for the Southern States, they will be an incubus to the Union. utterly destructive to the whole republic. The pre sent military force will have to be kept up to maintain peace between the two races, and there is no certainty of their ability to do this long. I have for some time thought that when the negro government wentinto opera. tion it n ould be impossible to preserve the peace of the country. A war of races must ensue, and it will he the most terrific war of extermination that ever desolated the face of the earth in any age or country. I am, with great respect and esteem, yours, truly, &e., B. F. Penny. FACTS TO PONDER OPER. From the Albany Argue.] The amount of money asked for by the Republican party, to carry ou the Federal government the coming year, is as follows: For the War Department, exclu sive of bounties and pensions, $95,000,000 For the Navy Department, 36,000,000 For civil service, • - 51,000,000 Total, There can be no tloubt,that the actual ¢e• mends and expenditures of the government under existing legislation will greatly exceed even this enormous sum. For whoever heard of a.Congiess in these days that did not pass a series of deficiency bills? The expenditures invariably exceed greatly the estimates. The whole expenditures of the government for the same service in 1860 (the last year of Mr. Buchanan's administration) were : For civil list, - - - $6,077,000 For the War Department, 11,563,000 For the Navy Department, 11,514,008 EMI DitTerenee between the estimates for 1868 and actual experldl tures for the same items in FM Thus it is demonstrated that the ordinary ex penditures of the government under Radical rule is more than live times as great as it was under the much-abused administnition or Bu chanan. The following shows the entire expendi tures of the Federal Government, exclusive of the public debt, from the foundation of the Government to the close of the last British war :- From Mardi 4, 1789, to Dec. 31; 1789, - - $1.910,509.53 1792 - 1,877,903.68 1793 i - 1794 1795 • noo, 1797 1798 " - . , 6,480,168.72 • - 7,411,369.97 1799 1800 - 4,981.669.90 .3,767,079.91 • - 4,002,824.24 1801 - 150': 1803 - - 1804 1805 - 1806 11407 - 1808 1809 • • 1810 1811 - • 1812 1813 -..- - • - 28,062,396.92 alti Total, Thus it is seen that the entire expenditures of -our Government from the foundation thtreof to the Ist of January, ISIS, including the expenses of the last British :war, does not equal by over $11,000,000 what is now re quired for the mere ordinary expenses of the Government for the present year under Rad ical rule. It will be seen by looking at the foregoing table, that the whole aggregate expenditures of the government during the three years (1812, 1813 and 18141 of our last great strug gle with Great Britain, in which we met and grappled in the death struggle on land and sea with the greatest power on earth, amount ed only to $76,030,502, which is $105,960,498 less than it now costs to run the government in time of profound peace for one year under Radical rule ; and - that, too, without counting the frauds and robberies perpetrated under our revenue system, and which may be esti mated at least at $50,000,000 more, that nev er reaches the Treasury, but every dollar of which is wrung from the pockets of the toil ing millions. But it may be urged that these comparisons are not fair, and are calculated to mislead, as the population was much less in the early days'of the Republic than now, and the ex penditures necessarily less than now. Admit all that can be fairly claimed from this fact, and yet it does not weaken the startling char acter of the facts. The following shows the expense of the general government, exclusive of the public debt, and the population shown by the cen sus during each decennial year, from the foundation of the Government to the year 1850: _ . Populn- Rate per Year. Expenses. t ion. Inhab'nt • 1789.90 & 1791 $1,919,589.52 3,929.827 $ .48 1800 4,981,669.90 5,205,925 90 1810 5,311.085.28 7,239,814 73 1820 13,13.4,530.57 9,638,131 1.38 1830 13,229,533.33 12,860,050 1.03 1840 24,139,920.11 17,069,458 1.41 1&10 , 137,185,990.09 24,091,878 1.60 rt will be seen from this table that, while during Washington's administration the ex penses of the Government amounted to but 48 cents per capita, in 1840, the last year 'of Van 13uren's administration, to hat $1.41 per capita. and in 1850 but to $1.60 per capita, they now, in time of profound peace, under Radical rule, estimating our population at 30,000000, arnout to $6 per capita, or about $4O annually for each head of a family, for what are called the ordinary expenditures of the Government. _ These figures are sufficient to demonstrate the corruption and extravagance of the Re publican party. The people . have but one remedy in order to rid - themselves of these enormous and increasing burdens, and that is to vote the Radicals out of power. The ,work has been gloriously commenced, and The indications are that it will progress, and that nearly every State will repudiate the leaders of a corrupt and extravag,aut party.
