THE ALIO.IIPORTA NT DUTY of EVERY
DINIRMATi
A few months more and the presideritial
campaign will open in all Its vigor, with can
didate* in tie field representing the distinct
ive issues of each political organization, and
committed plainly and unequivocally to their
interests.
On both shies active preparations are be
ing made for the struggle, and it will un
doubtedly be - one of the most fiercely eon
tested in the history of the nation. Every
indication of the • times points to the most
stubborn and unscrupulous resistance on the
part of the Radicals against the efforts of the
People to wrest from them the lawless power
which they have seized to uphold their base
purposes. -
The Democratic party begins the campaign
under the most auspicious, circumstances,
with a coiaddence in success, an enthusiasm
,for the cause, and a vigorous self reliance
that has not been experienced in many years.
The late elections show conclusively 'hat a
Past maiority of the nation are ready to es•
pouse our standard if we only prove faithful
to our creed, and continue to stand firmly by
the interests of the country.
But to make victory certain something
more Is necessary than mete dependence up
on the truth of our principles. In the flush
of self-confidence, we are apt to forget what
4 vigilant enemy we have to overcome, and
,what desperate measures he is apt to resort to
to attain his%nds..Political hattlei, like those
Of a more bloody nature; depend Ur their re
;
sultdmore on the skill,courage, determination
fuld energy of the contesting foes than upon the
sacredness of their cause, or the emvictions of
the participate. 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. ' jale-tf. •

THE S 0 T.T 7r 11.
Letter from Gor. 8.,F. Perry, of S. C.
The Terrible Paralra/dials of the People
—How the South Costa the Country a
Hundred Mlllloni, Instead of Adding a
Hundred Mllltonetoits Resources.
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

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

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.

over the head, as all his neighbors did. It
was observed that when he became a Chris

friend inquired into the secret. 'Why," said
the deacon, "formerly, when my oxen were
a little contrary, I flew into a passion, and
beat them unmercifully. This made the
matter worse. Now, when they don't behave

AN exchange furnishes the following valu
able hint of a novel remedy for intruding bo
vines: "A certain quadruped had a sweet
tooth for our hay stack and did much dam
age, throwing down the seven rail fence and
roosting in our hay. We bought a box of
cayenne pepper, took a nice lock of hay,
placed it outside, 'baptized' it with pepper,
and watched. The animal came along: and
pitched into the hay, when suddenly she took
the hint and with nose at 4,5 degrees and tail
at 90 degrees her soul went .'marching on'
at the rate of 2:40. That cow'has wit come
