Poetry and Political Rhetoric From Southern Remembrance
A dense 19th century verse and prose medley titled Our Southern Dead by Father Tyimy for the Prodosehuburg Memorial Association blends memorial stanzas with a political speech by Hon. B. H. Hill. It laments Confederate fallen, recalls wartime dignity, and denounces Reconstruction, urging whites to defend honor, resist federal efforts, and repudiate enfranchisement while insisting on white equality and national reunion on favorable terms.

Hampton Speech in Columbia July 20 1808 Enthralls Crowd
General Wade Hampton spoke at a Democratic demonstration in Columbia on July 20 1808. He urged unity around the New York Convention's platform, argued for restoration of prosperity, and praised peace and constitutional government, while critiquing Reconstructionist policies and opposing carpetbag rule. The crowd included diverse attendees, with strong support from locals. Seymour formally accepted the Democratic nomination in New York, citing a national tide toward change and warning against Congress restraining suffrage and enforcing military protection.
