To deprive man of the fruit of his labors is to cut the sinews of industry. Who will care to labor if another is to appropriate the results of his toil? He is deprived of an inalienable right, the enjoyment of which alone can induce him to exercise the self-denial implied in labor and economy. To distribute the products of his industry to the community, as some social theorists would teach us, is to destroy individual enterprise, and to reduce society to a great almshouse.--_Zion's Herald_. [Despatch to the Traveller.] FREEDOM OF SPEECH NOT TOLERATED IN SOUTH CAROLINA. "New York, Oct. 15.--A Washington despatch says that Congressmen Smalls and Rainey have been obliged to flee from South Carolina on account of their activity in organizing Republican meetings, and they were yesterday promised protection by the President." Protection where? in Washington or South Carolina? It cannot be in the latter, for the President has put his "Federal bayonets" into the hands of Gov. (?) Hampton, and voluntarily shut himself out of that State. Nay, more, he has driven the bolts through his military power as commander-in-chief of the nation, and the last Congress screwed on the nut, which leaves the President powerless, and the Governor all-powerful. Let us see how he is using that power. The Democratic paper of Sumter County, edited by one of the aids of Wade Hampton, calls upon the Democrats to turn out and break up the Republican meetings in such appeals as the following:-- "Men with mothers and wives; men with sisters dear; men who expect to raise families in Sumter County,--let your sons and daughters turn out on Saturday and meet the thieves whom Sam Lee is gathering together and attempting to fasten on us as our rulers and masters in this county. Let everything be conducted on Saturday with military order, promptness, and decision. In 1861 our Southern braves left their homes and firesides and encountered every conceivable bodily privation, every danger, for a cause that dwarfs into perfect insignificance in comparison with the Democratic cause in this county to-day, and yet are there men who are so ease-loving and unpatriotic that they will not turn out on Saturday to meet the Republican thieves? If such there be, go mark them well. "Let Northern speakers come; we intend to carry Sumter County Democratic, at the next election, in spite of the world, flesh, and the devil. "Democrats should rally as one, on Saturday. He who dallies is dastard. He who doubts is damned. "Surely, no one, who is worthy of the name of man, can hesitate, under such conditions, to take a hand on Saturday." The following, to the rifle clubs, is given as the programme for the Democrats, on Saturday, Oct. 19, the day the Republican meetings are called for nominations:--
