TLe object, and indeed the effect of these pro* in ?-* !?/? Q/\n*k on.I tf\ ltlll hp? It'OMUIIS, 13 IU ljUICb HIC kjuu III, nuu %vr into a fatal security. And the North with an eye attentive to the manifestations of public sentiment in the South, as soon as it discovers the South will bear another dose, get up another difficulty upon the slavery question, and another compromise or adjustment is made, in which, through Northern fanaticism and Southern treachery we are again cheated out another large portion of onr rights. This game has v been so succesful, that now while our vast territorial domain is open to Northern men, we are in effect excluded from every foot of it. The policy of the North" now is (a late number of the New York Tribune indicates it) to wait awhile, to keep their hand on the pulse * of the patient?if we may so speak?and administer more physic until they are satisfied the Southern patient will bear it Besides the expenditures and disbursements of the General Government are of immense importance to the business community at the North. The manufacturers of the North are also clamorous for ruore bounties in the shape of high duties to be levied agta-jthe returns of the industrial exports of the South. ? Hence, as we have already remorlrorl ?Vit? Tribnno tbp mn<t nnen and Can ?..V - - -I ?- ??? "I did of the anti-slavery papers of the North, indicates as the true policy for the North, to cease the agitation of the slavery question, a* least until another division of spoils, in *he shape of Congressional appropriation hills, shall he made. The policy is, to let the victim have rest until the contents of the treasury be squandered. One thing at a time, is the game,? After this division, the war of aggression and agitation ean and will be resumed, and continued so Jong as he will bear it, only to be sua pended at those annual periods at which the tribute exacted from the South, by high and unjust taxation, is to be divided out among those who live in that favored region whose hypocritical boast is, that ''their skirts are free from the sin of slavery." The Tribunegives us distinctly to understand that the North never oonsent that any portions of California, New Mexico or Utah shaft ever be open to the people of the slave A w States. In tins sentiment the Trihnne exprefa. es the oniversnl sentiment of the whole North of xirparties. And we have to mane np our irfHVds to submit to this degrading inequality, and in the end to give up our property, or like I inen determined, at once and without further delay, to assert and mainiitin those rights and ^ tfel* ^dependence wbich are so justly ours. ^ what is the policy of the Nortk, but distinctly intimates that the Government will make the effort ft> coerce the obedience to its measures. If WE deuhted before, such articles from the ieimng papers of the North, distinctly exhibit What they regard the condition and destiny of the South! For oorselves we have no hope for a better state of things at the North. We have never Irtrown the spirit of aggression ana ianaucism to be satisfied and appeased by concession and ?!. submission. That good faith and brotherly love at the North of which we now hear so much, exists only in the throats oi the demagognes; who want our money or our votes; and, with however much reluctance, we shall as soon be <Uyen to the conclusion that not being able to (swerve our equality io the Union, it is the ttol&fim and imperitive duty of the Sooth to seek and maintain her indepence out of it-itfonl. Ad. I.' ___ SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING COMPETITION. The New York Herald, which has done the 8puth much good service in a variety of ways, thus speaks of our capacities in manufactures; ffc The down east newspapers, particularly the Boston daily Advertiser, are much engaged jy*"* on the subject of Southern cotton mills and manufactures. The object appears to be, in some cases, to show that the south cannot competete with the north in this business, notwith jfe;".- standing some important advantages which the former possesses over the latter. They acknowledge that cotton cost the manufacturer " *1 lL ??? --?? ./! Iaab ikun >VIA Ol uie soma one cent per puuuu vi au ii ei<v < manufacturer of New England has to pay for it. Taking even this statement to he oorrect, trhat would be the result? The mills of the Massachusetts Company, at Lowell, consume six million eight hundred thousand pounds per annum. One cent per pound saved, on that quantity, would amount fft sixty-eight thousand dollars; and as these mills contain 45,700 spin" dies, the aunual saving to a mill of 11,000 would be about 917,000, no mean item to deduct from the bill of cost for one year. The capital stock of the above company is set down ? At SOO uOO: and the above assumed differ t*v v*!*-***; once is equal to about three and three quarters per centum per annum on that enormous capital. But one cent per pound is not the real difference. The entire addition to cotton, in trunritu from the cotton Held to Lowell, will average two cents per pound; and its cost at Lowell will average two ceuts per pound; and its cost at Lowoil is one and a half cents higher^at the southern shipping port This difference will amount to 9102,000 on the quantity consumed per annum by the above mills, or about five and a half per centum on the entire capital. This is the real advantage which the southern manufacturer possesses io the cost of ' ~ ootion;and which for a mill of 11,000 spindles, would be about 925,000 per annum. 'p the second place, the cost of water power a. "11, for 45,000 spindles, is 8228,600, f L V the present rate. The in??>? -". # to-est on tins ^ ttiU.,. ? ? .j .1 is 81.1,71b tier aunnm.

These severnlitems of cost of steam power, warming the mill, and the like, make up the gross amount of $10,850 per annum, o drive the 45,000 spindles.

No one\an of course doubt, all other tilings being equai that gives to the South a tremendous advi^tage over the North. The down east writers ever, undertake to point out the disadvantages to offaett this, and more too. The first of Ye number is a supposed deficiency of capital. \ THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM. The Washington correspondent of the New* York Journal of Commerce truly interprets the present calm aspect of affairs, in the following extract. All who dare to think for themselves will agree with him that it is not peace, but a hollow truce, the insincerity of which is further proved by the attempt ot the so called Northern "Unionists," and " friends of the Constitution," to take advantage of die interval to fasten another scheme of plunder upon the South, as abhorrent ftflhe principles of die Constitu tion, as their late robbery of the common Ter I IUII ICO ? | "The calmness now prevailing in the country was the other day noticed by Mr. Clay as favorable to the consideration of the tariff subject. Mr. CUv did not assort that the ealm>w?s real and would continue, but he expressed a hope that it may. UX truce hns been confirmed between tbe ad* ministration and the Seward Whigs; and Mr.j Seward is often seen at the White House. The Seward men keep their offices in New England and New York, and are quietly making their arrangements to control the Whig* in New York and in the country generally. The ] MiMflftHHIirtHP HillPfTompromise ndmirns'teation show a good deal of vitality, but most ofr their strength, such as it is, coines from the Seward faction. HI do not know whether in putting Scott for? ward as a candidate tbey are sincere or not? Perhaps he is only pat up as a deeoy. The game is to be the same fur the Presidency as for the governorship of New York. "The Sewardmen will nominate a man upon Seward anti>national principles, and the regular Whigs will pretend to secede, only for the purpose of falling in with the better grace. They will be in time for a first rate thrashing. The Hum game will never succeed again. " The determination of the Whigs, in the North, to adhere to their old party organization, is now manifest, and it means nothing more nor less than au identification oi'Whiggisin with Abolitionism. Mr. Clay did well, therefore, to quality with wift bis remarks upon the con tinuancft of the present calm." TRICKERY AND THE TARIFF. A lew weeks since (be cotton lords at Fall River, Massachusetts combined together to tmn the screw a little tighter, by reducing the wages of the operatives. Many of the workmen and women opposed this reduction of their wages and refused to work* By the last accounts we preceive that capital has conquered labor, and that those who turned out have been compelled to resume their work at the reduced prices, and the owners are chuckling that "their factories are in operation again." This is one of the mean devices resorted to, to swindle the workingmuu. The manufacturers rase a coneeHed cry about low duties, and foreign competition, blame the Government for not protecting ihtrin, and ibfcn suddenly atop, throwing their optatives out of employment. Theae poor people never receive more than e trough to kei-paool and lowly together;they work virtually fur buard ami lodging; they seldom or never accumulate; they aie, in fact, in h state of quHRi-alnverv, and, when out of dmployment of absolute suffering. When the muiufacturer has reduced them to the starving point, he says; *'I sympathise with you, we will put uur loom* in operation again, hut I cannot afford to pay the former wages, tire rate riri|?l he reduced." What can the operative)* ?;iy! They have no roof orer their head* hut the collagen attached to the mill, where they have no right to remain longe;: they have no money to remove else, wfter; there are no public land* to nettle upon rent-Iree; they can get no employment at another mill without credential* from their present emulover: they see their w ives dejected; their children Mifferin# for bread, and are forced to accept the reduced wagea proposed In ihetn.

Our Tenns for 1891. , As we have just entered upon the duties o*another year, we earnestly hope and confidently expect that our patrons will come up to our help in the right way. The Weekly Journal enlarged and improved will be published at Two Dollars cash w advance. We cannot afford to publish the paper at this low rate unless the terms are strictly complied with; if payment be delayed three months the price will be Two Dollars and Fifty cents;, if not poid until six months have expired, Three Dollars will in every instance be required. The Semi-Weekly Journal will be pub. iisneu ax i nree uoilars and fifty cents in advance, after three monthB from the time of subscribing shall have elapsed, Four Dollars will be required. We are obliged to make these discriminations? the Gash to newspaper publishers is a very important consideration, and we prefer it in every case where it is possible. We don't intend to make personal applications to our subscribers for advance payments, these are our Terms, and they have it at their option to do as they like best. Our accounts for Advertising and Job Work will be presented quarterly for payment. fW We shall discontinue advertising by the year, but when an account amounts to more than 30 dollars, a discount of $0 per cent will be made on all amounts above that sum. All yearly con* tracts which bkve not yst expired, will be completed. " And mowi -eternal crown their lofty heeds." It is snowing here in the "sunny South," where the flowers are scarcely gone from the fragrant vales, it is snowing.

Southern Schools.

It a ft^Uon in ii the minds of all, and a very grave one to what t; will be the result ? And some, in the v%8 of h their fancy have seen our seaboard lined w'Vj0S_ c tile vessels, our towns depopulated?a merely c warfare waging?our fertile fields laid wa6te,lr (j houses burned, our families murdered, and the selves dangling from some forest tree.

'Tis of no use to mince the wordff^that is the correct phrase What if it were the case, should South Carolinians tamely yield! Is it half so probable as when the Persians ordered Greece to submit! They did not submit?but won thrir freedom, and a Marathon beside. Another class suppose (and we think much more correctly) that the action of the General Government would be to blockade our seaports and collect a revenue. This might be attempted, but would prove a failure. In the first place, they would have no right to do it. We would be a free and independent people, having resumed that sovereignty which we delegated, with a resuming reservation to the general government, and with as much justice might they blockade Havre as Charleston. But it would not be allowed by foreign powers, for vaiious reasons. The commerce of 8. Ca. with her rice and cotton is considerable. And England would not be disposed to do without it. She would send her trade ships to the port of Charleston, and pay her duties to the S|ite authorities, and if any interference took place on the part of the blockading ships, it would then be an act of aggression against England, and no one can doubt how it would be resented. She has never yet 6buuned a war for f?a r of crinoline her commerce. Wars seem to be its Aim? Mat res?and Bhe would delight |in nothing more than crippling those who are striving to be her rivals?and aiding those who give her produce. And as for our poettion as to the other States, it would aid us?they would act as bulT works all around?and proudly point to us as their example, it their rights were further infringed upon.

We are not aware of any good an'5 sufficient reason why the ancient and monumental town of Camden should be bo far behind itscotemporaries of later origin in improvements of every grade and character. Aurely it if not for want ol age-and experience on our part, or for lack of looal position, the means to act with, or intelligence and morality of our people; for in all these particulars Camden is certainly not behind the age?but ill Enterprise Camden is belo'w zero^nd not much hope of rising, from pleseut indications, above temperate. The spirit of Enterprise is in too large a degree confined to those who would ii they could. But 1 not having the rapans are obliged to substitute the I will for the deed, and this is even more than tome \ are willing to contribute to public enterprise. We 1 are sorry that our duly obliges us to find so much ' lault with our people for their characteristic indif. I ference upon questions of local enterprise. We 1 have again and again asked, why don't you buil&P a Flank Road? Where are all those FactoqpsT Where are your institutions of Learning? ;AV hy take the initiativestepsiilL atf these ffJ^worthy undertakings, and then rally back upon the reserve? Onward should now be our. word. Let South Carolina imitate Georgia in one particular at least?her enterprise and public spirit. Let her eschew her tame and sickly submissionism, but Georgia will one day awake and with tho whole South, we hope, see her ruinous condition, for "The South is dead, mi- _ ^ * "? i ue lyrani saia, Exulting in triumph of poirtrs. O no, she but elepps While her genius keeps A watch for her waking hours. .Silent and fair She slumbers there, But feverish dreams disturb her, She needs but wake For her chains to brpak, Not all the North can curb her." But to indulge no longer in the rhapsodical, lit us leave Georgia to her fate and by telegraph im- ' Sgine ourselves again in Camden. If the genius , of enterprise is suffered to sleep forever with us? | then surely will we be unworthy of our high be- | beets. The soil upon which we daily tread ie : classic?every inch of ground about us is enrich^ < ed by the best and purest blood of the Revolution. < mi _ . - 1 mere is no spot nore mat is not intimately asso- J ciated with some interesting reminiscence of the I glorious past.

There with numerouppther reasons j| entitle us to a conspicuous place in the picture of t public enterprise, among the things which have s seen and which now are. The fear of man (says ^ t wise one) bringeth a snare. We fear that too nany of our people fear to lean a few of their rus- H y dollars towards the advancement of public in- a crest in our midst. This will always operate ^ igainst Camden. "Are we able" to build a Plank t| load is not the question to be asked and answerid, as lately d?monstrated by our esteemed cor- ? espondent "Blanding." Are you willing? that's d he point. IVhen this interrogatory is answered p n the affirmative and a corresponding" action to t> he word is manifested, then we ma) begio to have s< tope. We verily believe if it were not that some si f the good old spirit is still left in Camden suffi- ? ient to keep its dignity above a crossroad repulaon, that the fate of Goldsmith's "sweet Auburn & 'illage" might be our history in after ages.
