Parallels between distinguished meu are frequently made, but it is rare that they are very close. Special in? cidents may coincide, but the whole career seldom. Hence, when such a .case is found, it is a matter of interest, not to the curious ??lone, but also to the Reflecting and thoughtful. . In an article published several days ago, vre alluded casually to a close parallel between the careers of An? drew Jackson and our present Chief Magistrate, Andrew Johnson. Not pursuing the parallel to any extent, but mentioning the fact'which was so patent as to excite mark, we were much gratified in finding the parallel drawn fully in a recent speech of Mr. H. B. Helper, the American Consul at Buenos Ayres. The* simi? larity of the careers of these dis tmgdished men will appear, upon examination, to be wonderfully close, and reasoning of the future from the past, we. hazard the prediction that the name- of Andrew Johnson .will be regarded by the people with . the same affection and reverence they have borne, and will always bear, for the name of Andrew Jackson. The coincidence is not the work of chance merely, but is the result of similar circninstances acting upon similar characters, influenced by attachment to the same, truths, and inspired by the same incorruptible virtues. It was thc mission of Jackson to consoli? date the Democratic elements of the country, and to demonstrate th* fact that the improvement and Jiappinezs of the people were best attained by adherence to those grand principles which constituted his system of na? tional politics. It is President John? son's mission, we firmly believe, to perpetuate the demoCratical elements * " of the country, and thereby 'secure to the people forever, undisturbed, that happiness and improvement whjeh the spirit of Jacksonian Democracy contends to be the the sole legitimate end of Government. v This great work we believe to be entrusted for perfect and coinplete realization to* the hands of Andrew Johnson. God speed him j in the issue! We give below the parallel so hap? pily drawn hy Mr. Helper. It will bc at once perceived that it coidd be pur? sued much more closely, and in far greater detail; but it is sufficient to show that in Andrew Johnson we have another "Old Hickory," able and willing to work out to its glorious end the happiness and advancement of thc people: "Not the least among the seventy odd names of distinguished army anil navy comma ders from the South, who have he Mcally proved their de? votion to the Union in the late terrible conflict-names which, in a great measure, constitute the modern roll of Southern honor-is that of Andrew Johnson, formerly of North Carolina, now President of the United States, who is, perhaps, in many particulars, more like Andrew Jackson than any other man in America. They were both born in North Carolina, of which State President Polk was also a na? tive. Both emigrated to Tennessee, and while residing there were elected : to the Presidency. The full name of ; each is composed of thirteen letters, the number being suggestive of the ; original thirteen States, which, more than three-quarters of a century since, achieved their independence of Great Britain. Each has (and very pro? perly, a showing that their parents were persons of sensed but one pramo men, and that is Andrew. The cog? nomen of each i? o word of two sylla? bles, and the terminating syllable of each is son. The prefix of the one sur-name is Jack, while that of the Oiher is John. Now Jack and John, as is well known, signify ene and tho same thing. It follows, therefore, that iii Andr%w Johnson we have a man who is neither more nor less than Andrew Jackson-the same tough "Old Hickory," the able and^ncor ruptible statesman, for whom it is said the patriotic Dutchmen of Penn? sylvania have been steadily voting at every Presidential election during the last forty years. But the parable does not end here. B<j^i received appoin t ments as generauroi militia. Before becornine: President, each served his" adopted State first as a Representa? tivo in Congress, and afterwards as a Senator of the United States. Both were called to the Presidency in times of great national peril; both were Southern men, and it became tho duty of both lo deal stringently, and both did deal stringently with the deflection and treason of their slave holding neighbors. One annulled nullification, and the of?ier suppressed a gigantic rebellion." [ Washington Union. For the Legislature. DR. J. H. BOATWRIGHT. DE. WM. T. GEIGER, WM.

Sept 30_ J* FOR CONGRESS. The friends of GEO. D.

Sept 28 * To thc Voters of Orangeburg, Edge fleld, Abbeville, Newberry, Lexing? ton, Richland ?nd Fairfield.. FELLOW-CITIZENS: After much hesitation, I have consented to be put in nomination for your Representative iu the Congress of the United States. I publish this card, be? cause the District is so lar,'* and the time before the election so short that I could not, if I desired, canvass the District. If a canvass wcro possible, however, I do not think it becoming or desirable. In my I judgment, this is no time for a scramble for office. It seems to me that no one propea ly impressed with the solemnity of the crisis, and the delicacy and importance of the duties to be discharged, could seek the position merely for the gratification of per? sonal ambition. For myself, I declare that I have no wish but to Borve thc State. In 178H, South Carolina, through a con? vention of her people, became one of thc Uteited States; She remained a member of the Union until December, 1860, when, through another convention of ber people, she repealed the Ordinance of 178% seced? ed from the United Sta tes, and with cer ' ? '? \ other sister States entered into another government known as thc Confederate Government. We believed that we had thc right to secede and that our security re? quired its exercise in co-operation wi tn our Southern sisters. South Carolina, in 3852", proclaimed by Relearn ordinance the right of secession. It had long been thc settled opinion of the State that she was sovereign ana cntjUed to ?ll tho rights of sovereignty. She asserted self-government in order to secure her institut) xas and principles?rom great evils, believed to be imminent. Se? cession was in tho nature of a proceeding guio timel. It was conceived in the spirit of . 0 I self-preservation-not to injure otherstut I to save ourselves. It cannot be necessary to say that I am one "of those who believe that it was an honest effort for honorable j purposes. The United States Government ' denied the right of secession and waged war upon the Confederate States, whioh stood upon the defensive. A terrible war of invasion and desolation followed, and finally tho Confederate states weTo over whehned?by force of numbers and dissolved. At the emt of tho war the State of South Carolina found the Confederacy broken up, her citizens who survived the terrible ordeal exhausted and impoverished,' her institutions destroyed, and the whole coun? try occupied by the military force's of the United States." Under these painful cir? cumstances, the President of tho United States invited the States lately composing tho Confederacy to re-organize their gov? ernments and restore their connection with tho Constitution and Government of the United States, upon certain conditions, the principal of which was an acquiesence in tlie abolition of slavery, which had been accomplished by the military autli irities. The State wisely in my judgment, respond? ed favorably to tho invitation. It is true that the mere issue of battle does not prove right any more than did the old "wager ol battle;" but it does prove power which can? not be disregarded. A Provisional Gover? nor was appointed, who called another con? vention of the people, which has lately repealed the Ordinance of Secession, and by an article in the State Constitution, recognized thc abolition of slavery aud pro? hibited its re-establishment. By repeal? ing that of Secession, the Ordinance ol 1788, through which South ('arobina be? came a member of tho Union, was ipsc facto revived, and we aro tbis day in tht Union precisely as we became in 1788 anc remained up to I860. Wo arc now in avery anomalous position Relying upon tho good faith and patriotic intentions of the President of the Uniter States, we have done all that was roquirec of us to restore our c.. relations to th? Constitution und the Union; but still w? have not been received into fellowship a1 Washington. That important part of th? plan of reconstruction remains yet to b< ac< mplished. It is understood that i p; r'"y will oppose the President's plan o rc organizing the States and giving to then equality of rights, and will insist upon stil farther dospoding and crushing the Statei of thc South as conquered provinces. Thii radical fanatical party opposed our leaving the Union, and now they oppose our return ing to it. When we were in the Union, the; .abused us on account of .slavery. The; waged war upon us because wo tried i, separate frwni them, and now that we pro pose to return without slavery, they ?til object. In this emergency, the State need the assistance of all her true raen. Mue: remains to be done, and not the least is t secure a prudent, faithful' and patrioti representation in Congress, to assist an> forward tho work o" restoration which tb State has commenced. I arrogate not t myself fitness to form part of such a rep resentation, but friends have urged me foi ward, and if yon are willing to try me, will give my best efforts. In some respects, wo aro at the beginnin of our policy, as if wa \*t;re a new Stat about to assume new relations with ou sister States; but wo must never allow oui selves to forget that in other respects w are an old State-a Statu having antcc< dents-a name to maintain and a history t preserve. Whatever may betide us in th uncertain future, the past, at least, is HI cure. South Carolina has never swerve from tim path of honor, as sh? conceived i Wo have a record o' which none need t ashamed; and when any apostate son ? hers disclaims er disparages it, may si, cast him out as unworthy of her. " Tl devotion of every true son of thc Stal adheres in adversity as wc fl as in pro: perity-is loyal through evil as well t through good report; and in the midst < the greatest misfortunes, "sticketh clos< than a brother." After the-delegatioiis from the Souther States shall have been received into Coi grcBs, many delicate and impoi taut duti< will devolve upon them, especially inrefo enceto the freedmen of th" South, and tl control which Congress, or a party in Coi gross, may desire stiU to exercise ovi them. It may not bo improper, in th connection, tosay that, whilst I have ?.; proved thc course; of the State in scekii to restore lier old relations with the Go vcr ment of thc United States, it has been up< tho faith and expectation that the State, ? soon as reconstructed, is to have enti control of tho whole subject of her dome tic affairs. ' The State, and the State alon must bc left to decide to whom she w give tho right of suffrage or other politic rights. A new code noir must be enactt to protect and govern the population late made freu-to prevent idleness, vagranc pauperism and crime. I am not proph enough to foresee whether wc can juiccee but I solemnly believe it will be impossil to live in tho country at all unless thc Sta bas exclusivo control of the whole subjei I have hope that this will be permitted, a; I think it is in accordance with our isl i eats and true policy Lo 3US*SIB tm- Pre dont and tlu; ?Democratic party in th? efforts to restore the States to their po tion of equality and to give them eqi rights in tho Government. With these views, if thc voters of t District think that I can serve them or t State in this critical emergency, I will my best for them; but I have too big! sense of my own incompetency and of t dinieulties and responsibilities of the pc tion, to solicit it by a personal canvas?.
