Letter of Coloiel Sas. U. fion,
Our readers will doubtless read
with interest the letter of Col. Rion,
which we print to-day. It makes
more than one striking point. But
while Colonel Rion tells us to vote for
independent candidates, when they of
for themselves, from the lepublican
party, we go a step further, and urge
all candidates for the Legislature to
run as bona fide Republicans who will
vote for a Republican U. S. Senator,
and electioncer curnesty for the votes of
the suifragans. Col. Rion would have
Demoerats vote for respectable le.
publicans. Wo would have respeota.
ble citizens join the Republicans, t<
furnish Colonel Ilion and his part)
with candidates for whom to vote
The two positions will support caol
other admirably. The Democrati
say, they wish respectable Republicat
cindidates for which to vote; and th<
Conservative Republicans to whom w<
profess to belong, say, let respeotable
men join the Republicans in respeota
blo numbers, and so furnish the Can,
didntes needed by the Democrats.
Can our readers now understand
why we have never been over-zealoui
in the matter of the June Conven.
tion I We are not a Democrat, and
we do not believe in the success of the
party, except when voting for Consur
vativo Republicans ; and that seems
according to our feeble conception
to be a sort ofsuecess of Conservativ(
Republicans. At any rate, we ar<
willing to give the Demoerat. th<
glbury, provided Conservative Rlepubli
cans get the offices and the politica
inluence. 1874 is the yere in whiel
our programme will begin to worl
successfully. At present, polities ii
at a discount.
Thme Lesmsoi Taught by Igno.
The contrast so forcibly drawn be,
tween knowledge and charity, thougi
it has often been the topic of our re
flection before, never struck our atten
tion so forcibly, as upon last Sundaj
night, when reading the familiar pas
sage. "Charity niever faileth, &c".
It is well knowna how great a source o
sorrow and suffering to poor miortali
is the weakness of their memory ani
the feebleness of their mental grasp
their ineapalcity, in short, to acquire
event with great labor, a limuite(
knowledge of truth. Morover, feeble
as our faculties9 are, eranmped and con.
fined by essential limitations, we feel
grief and sorrow, that, still furthei
than t his, we (do not acquire the
knowledge that we know they are ca.
pable of, and that our feeble capaci.
ties are infinitely beyond our actual
attainments. Wer are p)Irooundly ig,
norant, and groan for deliverance, and
oach of us ini our hearts, utters the
prayer of A jax, struggling in mortal
conflict, and smitten with blindness
for light ; for light, that he might see
his enemies clearly, in order to de
stroy them. That passage of Ilomou
han often beeni admired in itself, but
it is when its passionate and tearful
utterance is raised from a literal late
a fiuatv sense, and when the pray.
de tof Aix is reflected on as heartfelt
race thaty Iti.ember of the human
rane, that moth ofsiablimity appears.
no grander petition ould arri, or,
it reflcts the universal wish of tbA
entire race of mian.
WVhy,now, this universal sense o1
ignorence and desire for knowledge 1
And why this impossibility to know,
and this incapacity to acquire truth 1
For what purpiose does a benevolent
iDoity permit it 1 Is it simply to lead
us to expet a futuro state, in which
"that which is in part shall be done
away," and i: which "we bhall
know even as we are known 1"
At first glance, this seems a auf
Ifiern explanation ; but yet it nev
er has satisfied ourselves, and. we
doubt If it ever has sati~fid any
otjer perplexed and sorrowing child
9? duat atyd iguprance., Perhaps,
t bon, it may be to suggest to, Ut', by
way of sontreet, thuo- lesson that
''ena frrr never failoth,' and that thie
knowledge we desire and oannot at
tain is as nothing in oempetI.An with
that love which we do not- one t'inth
s o usuch seek after and so'liidpnali
t t bt th6-xere of a
to'nded to onistituto, the happriess or
human existence, now and forever.
Few, very few, in any spbiere of
thought or department of life, can
know, and those who know,know only
in part ; but all, without exoeption,
can love. Wh'y, then ,'o. titt of i
perfectknoiwledge? Wby so careless
of growth in love I
Winnsboro was enlivened-last week
by the parado of two companies of
Negro Militia recently organized.
They seemed to enjoy It as much as a
set of young boys, and to this inno.
cunt pleasure we and all other sober
people, we suppose, have no manner
of objection. "The rigbt of the citi.
zen to bear arms" is a constitutional
right, an sacred as "the right to vote,"
and nobody now objects to It. We,
a year ago, expressed our conviction,
too, that no conflict of the races would
come of its exercise in the organiza
tion of the militia, and that the
whites, if they preferred not to go in.
to the militia organization, would
simply pay the fines. We reiterate
that opinion to-day. But we, at the
same time, advise the whites to or.
ganiso companies, and obtain field ap
pointments. A mixed militia it hat
now become as evident to us we are
going to have, as it is evident to
everybody elsc that a mixed Legisla
ture we both have already and are go
ing to have. Organize at once, there.
fore, and have as good a militia or,
ganization as possible. It is one of
those things that will bring the race
pleasantly together, unless malicion
mischiof-makors prevent, and which
will promote political harmony in fu.
ture elections.

A Card.
For Sandy Ford, et alia:
As the impression seems to have
obtained currency, that the Conserva.
tive Party would like to run "an hon.
Pst man," (which being very hard tc
find in the Republican ranks,) I de.
Clare myself an aspirant for any office
in the gift of the people, tuhile, bliac
or mdatto, and distinctly state, nb a
part of my political creed, that I will
promise beforehand, that if T can se
Cure the confidence and patronage of
the whole community, that I am will.
ing to run on any ticket that will se,
cure my elotion, with #t-h dstinoi
underustanding, that I will not steal
more of the public money than will
pay my grog and board for the firsi
saaion;- and whon approached on th
matter of bril'e y or corruption I
pledge u.y. ito drink the overplus,
over a fair estimate of my current
expenses, in riding up and down on
the CharlottA Railroad, looking after
the sale of lands for the benefit of
my fellow Africans, or improving my
real estate as my illustrious predeces.
sors have done before me : and I will
invite all the members of the "Demo.
eratie," "Conserva tire," "Citizens?"
or any oter party, to join in with mue
at the Union League, and drink out
any balance that may remain. Thank.
ful for past favors.
Yours most sincerely,
DICK CRAWFORD.
