CJAHLINOTON A CO., Proprietors. IN BEHALF OF THIS TOWN. The political campai. .1 \''<v {' ", County i- ended. As the result [ shows, it luis not, In some instances, been as closely contested as many expected. Aa usual, on the eve of the election, all kinds of wild ru mors were rife in the hind. What this campaign, and the man ner In which it was conducted, will COSt tho tow n of Laurens, remains j to be seen. From some cause or other the people of the country have alway - hud a mistrust or pre judice against the citizens nf tho town; why it i< so, we cannot tell, for all political measures af fect tow n and country alike. If taxes ure high, we must nil hear the burden. Yid, tho people of Laurens County have been told that the business men of town were organized for the purpose of de feating the fannel -! Tills i - ll base libel upon thc citizens of tlii I 1 icc, livery sensible man in town knows that this report i-. utterly without foundation, but there are those in the conni ry w ho have not had the means of in vost iga ting, and no doubt have believed every word that bas been told of "tow n cliques," \ and "rings," otc. The fact is the mendiants and lawyers havo taken less interest in polities than usual. S eno have worked hard for their friends, hut is that treason? Doos lt follow that they have organized to Injure thc farm ers? Wo submit that if a li-t of the business mon of this town was taken and their votes registered, it would bo show n that more votes were cast for farmers than were cast Ly the same number of men ??1 any other sect ion of ? i;e ( !ouilty. This is one time when it cannot bo said with any degree of truth, thal tl.i town went back on farmers. Tin town voted for farmery not such as Juive never farmed, but real, live farmers; mon w ho wore raised on the farm; wdio know what farming is, and it you will pardon the ex pression, they Voted for ?ffVlCltU? ral fanner*, ami they did so under the beliof that there was a demand for agriculturalists in tho legisla ture. Wo had hoped that mindi of lie* estrangement tim' lias heretofore existed between tho town and country bad died away, and that 111 this free democratic country, every man could look lils neighbor in the face as a friend and brother. We may differ a ? to tho choice of men, we may differ ns to ibo choice of measures, hut there ls no tv nson why anybody should sock to array one class against another. Man was so created, by an Almighty Creator, that ho must depend upon his fellow-man. Tho farmer can not raise his cotton without the mendiant to furnish clothing and supplies; he sometimes too, noctis! legal advice. And just KO thc mer chant and lawyer cannot prosper without prosperity among th farmers. Becanso a merchant or lawyer exercises his inalienable right In voting for the candidate of his choice, it does not follow that any candidate should seek to poison the minds of t be people against thom hy blowing lihou I rings, cliques, und the like. It is ungenerous, unkind and unjust. Judge Corn K A N has decided that lie A?II not toko tho dump in in the 3rd Congressional District during tho canvass, indore tlio Pri mary which nominates a Congress man. This action i-; md in keep ing with the spirit of tho Primary. While tllO pOOplO of Abbeville County doubtless have thc utmost confidence in Judge COTHKAX, and Would be w illing to trust bim with out hearing his viows, thero Is no reason why he should ask them and the voters in the other Counties, to do this. Thoy havo decided upon the Primary plan, and this carrie ; with it full, free and open discus sion, face to face with voters. This Primary plan will be adopt ed In this district next tine , and as they are leading, w e want them to start right. Tho courage und Industry of Charleston Is proverbial, but it w as hardly expected that In tho short time that haft elapsed slnco t lie ter rible calamity, ^o much determina tion and pluck should bo displayed. The citizens of this stricken city have sot to work in earnest, and ore long We hope to see this beauti ful city reinstated. It is certainly very encouraging to seo the liberality Of tho .North In contributing of their mean.- to relieving tie- suffering and di u. - "ba rle don. Bditors.
