THE THIRD PART? MOVEMENT.
For eomo time past, a number ol'
our exchanges?tho Charleston i\r?u>#
and Courier, llio And<jr6on /uUlliycnccr,
tho "Winusboro, JVews, tho Kewbcry
Herald, and others ?have heeu discussing
tho pvopvicty of a ^'third party
movement"?of selecting a platform
upon which Democrats and liepubli
fcaos can equally unite?n platform
which discarding tho cardinal issues
upon which national .parties aro divided,
should make the election of proper
men to offico, and tho honest and
economical administration fof the
Government of th.o State, the paraamount
^consideration. That the
.proper administration of tlio Slate
Government, l>y the selection of honest
and capablo men to oillce, is of
.paramount importance to us, and,
over-riumg an questions oi national
interest, scorns io be conceded by all
of our oojitemporaries, but they differ
Among themselves, as to the necessity
and practicability of dropping parly
names and ijiarty organizations for
effecting the. end in view. They will
concede that it is moro important
that a Stato officer be honest and capable,
than that he be either a Democrat
or Republican?that the Stato Government
bo well administered, than that
the questions of finance, currency and
the thousand and one issues which
divido national parties bo satisfactorily
adjusted ?but some will contend
that thoso ends can as well, if not bet
tcr'bo attained, through tho existing
party organizations, or even if otherwise,
that it is impracticable to effect a
union and coalition of parties. Let us
consider these points for one moment.
1st. Is it necessary to drop party
names and party organizations to effect
the end in view ? Are thero not
honest and capable Democrats, honest
and capablo Republicans ? and cannot
each of the great parties furnish
all sufficient material for tho due ad
ministration of the Stato Government ?
We suppose that no one doubts it?
at least it is charitablo to concede it.
Why thon should thcro be a union of
parties; or rather an obliteration of
party lines, in the prosecution of local
ends, and tbe advancement of domestic
Interests? For tbe very reason
that we have assigned,?that there
are honest and capable men in both
parties, and that upon the paramount
questions of State policy there is
nothincr to divide thpm. Tn nnnwrnr
thou to the interrogatory -with which
we commenced this paragraph wo may
respond, that though it is unneccsear}to
effect the end in view, that there be
this union of parties, yet that it seems
to be eminently proper, that men or'
all partiesjshould unite in the prosecution
of ends in which they have an
equal interest, and about which they
have no essential difference of opinion.
Hht 2- ? * 1 " "
ajuu *mu, jb ib pracucaoie r can
Democrats and Republicans be induced
to lay aside thoir party names,
break up their party organizations,
and unite tipon a broad common platform,
in electing honest and capable
ttlon to office, during tho coming
elections? We think the answer to
this question depends upon the Republican
party of tho State? and until
\re Democrats have seme assurance
that thd leaders of1 that party are
wiliihg to Unite with us, it is worse
than useless to abandon our .colors?
deBert the Democratic camp?and
unfurl a n3w banner emblazoned with
the Words "liberty, equalitj' and fratornity,"
for the purpoeo of tolling
from their allegiance "tho rabble rout,"
the rank and file of Republicanism.

jumuiu s~nasmx, ana otner lending
journals of the State. If Republican6
wish us to be no longer Demo
61:4ta, they must cease to be Republicans.
They must meet us on hall
Waygfround. "Will they do so? We
h&ve v9hrd intittiations to that effect;
of JjVoposals that would likely ema
nale from the leaders of the Repub
lica'n party. Let them assume a
deffbtti qnape and policy, and it will
then fee time enough for us to determine
wheihe* of not, we will accept
them. In the'tfeetawhile wo await
