The public are respccfutlly S invited to attend. b t Religions Meetings. ^ A meeting of several day's duration in the Baptist Church in this place was closed on Tuesday evening last. Du- ]. ring its progress, there was great inter- t est manifested by tin large congrega- c tions that attended, the services closed 1 amidst the regrets of all. Eighteen oenverts attached themselves to the 1 <Church. In the Presbyterian Church services t were commenced on Friday, which 11 have continued daily, attended by large ? . it - i i<-. l. -n congregations. \\ e trusi mai vnc ia- bora of love so zealously put forth by tbe servants of God, will be abundantly 0 blessed. " -? w The Memorial of the Labor Con- v vention. We have perused this memorial with , , . n sentiments of unmitigated surprise.? "Morphine" was promiucnt among the material of tbe convention, and exhibit s ed its explosive qualities in the emission , of this document, which we proceed to discuss, by clauses. I. That the claim of the agricultural labor for wages due, thaTO operate as a 0 preferred lien upon the land worked, 51 and that the planter or owner shall not e: alienate said land until such claim be Cl satisfied." n Suppose that the owner were indebt- ^ ed to his factor for advances made, and j that to secure said advances, a mortgage j of the property was given; that a failure of the crop should occur, would it not, f( under this section, be necessary that tbe jfactor should pay a'l wages due the la- j borer at the close of the year, in addi- t| lion io having fed him during the time, s before foreclosing his mortgage ? tj Suppose, again, that the planter ^ should be only the tenant or lessee, instead of the owner of the land, would the latter be compelled to satisfy nil outstanding wage3 before lie could sell, provided he felt so disposed ? Or suppose that the land should he. w sold under execution by thtf* Sheriff? ^ Id that case, it strikes us the laborer's rc chance for wages would be a very mi- di *?te one. m In ouropinion, this first clause would ac deprive the planter of almost the only ar means he possesses, of obtaining the t0 means of Irving and feeding himself and ^ laborers, while the crop was being made,' as for it is well known that advances are rc made upon first class collaterals, and the Pc fcet of laborer's wages being preferred, "> would place the lien of the party adrancing among the secondary claims, ^ and consequently no advances could be ^ had. And if the planter or owner of ar the land cannot obtain advances, by **a' what means can the employee hope to m< obtain them? Upon his own rcsponsikility he cannot, for in all cases good, 911 collateral, tangible property is preferred to the unsecured promise of the person a' seeking advances. So that the first 'a clause q? the memorial does away with the groundwork and foundation of plant- 111 ing operations, as carried on in this day and generation. m 2. "That the Governor shall appoint 1 a discreet and proper person in each fo county, who shall be designated as wl "commissioner of contracts," who shall rc examine and attest all contracts between planter and laborer, and act as advisory counsel of the laborer under such contracts-" ac In this clause we perceive the desire ni of creating other offices, thereby adding sii to the taxes of tho people, as well as n< being the meaDS of bringing endless P; trouble to tbo planter. Tho commhj- te sinner of contracts would of course be a vjsited by numbers of laborers, daily ar seeking counsel, and equally of course, n< such counsel could not be obtained in without 6omc kind of fee. Hence, the m perquisites of the office would be large, th It iff certain that no Democrat could th ob'ain such an office, and therefore, it w is oprm to the Republican alone. There ? is scarcely one in the State, who is ac* co quaiutcd with the practical details of pe planting, and on that account none can th he found*capable of advising in these ar matters. Outside of this important o: consideration, where is the Republican tb whose mind and feelings are truly un- tb b'asscd in controversies between white h< and colored men, who is equally' as nt friendly to the one as to the other? tb Such an one cannot be found. There- w f re, it is, that endless controversies w would be the results of such appoint- w: >ents. Any one at all conversant with tie matter knows that hundreds of ap> lications are made to the Mag/strata y the colored men, by reason of dreiutes and controversies with their cm iloyors. IIow many more such appliations would there "be to an officci specially appointed for 'that purpose! !uch officers would oidy be the gainers >y a multitude of such quarrels, whilst he courts ofjustice would of nccessit) ?e the last, and, we would add, the pro^ ier tribunal for them. 3. ''That the suits of all classes ol aborcrs and employers for wages due hem shall have precedence on the alendars of the courts and be heard at he first term after declaration failed." Now, this clause is simply absurd.? 'o say that causes, on the civil dockets nvolving thousands of dollars slia'll be hTust aside, and contemptible cases avolvrng, perhaps one hundred, heard Tst, is coutrary to all reason, precedent r order. Is it to be supposed that the whole rder of things should bo reversed?the rholc business of the Court suspended rhile these laborer's causes arc takem p. Convert the temples of justice in-te cooTt of "pie poiulre." Keep crimi als suffering in the jails, and witness ta dead expense to the county, all in raiting to the these exalted suits and uiters, whose dusty feet shuffle in mul itudes as they .flock to the witnesses' tand, where judge and jury arc regaled rith the choicest and clearest testimony f the "man and brother," in that forum, jprcrne. The Committee on Memorial xhibited in this clause, their knowldge of how the law stands, and of the tany reasons why a cause is frequently ostponcd by the Plaintiff, himself. No lowance is made for-the plaintiff's ckne.-s, or of the absence of material itnesses either for the plaintiff or deindant, but they must be heard at the rst term. The law must be changed i obedience to this high behest, and le court of sessions postponed to the lits of laborers. And whether plains' or defendant recover, the cause must ' heard at the first term. Correspondence of the Camden Journal. Charleston, Nov. bU. A Reply to Patience. Mr. Editor : Though not in any ay imbued with a spirit of controversy, ??i<ccs feels himself constrained Hv ply to the remarks of "Patience," ad cssed to him in your last issue. Rearks made in the spirit of kindness id good feeling which pervades that tide, we arc always willing, nay, glad meet, and reply to.' To begin at the Deginning, "Patience" ks, "have you pointed to tbo rightful mcdyT and we must answer from our tint of view, as we think, "yes." The emcdy" pointed to, is organization.? lie organization of the white men of c State for mutual aid and protection. "Patience" will compare all of the tides written by Quercus, he can not il to observe that. If organization cans anarchy or "letting loose the gs of war," we are sorry for it, but ,11 we must advise it. Quercus is not lite yet so insane as to advise a gencrrising up in arras against existing w. 'Tis true, "force" and "blooded" were terms used in the alternate. But "brute force" is not the only ? i fl ? rue which we fviiuw ui? jlucio 10 u oral force which accompanied the ircstigc" of thorough organization, a rce which becomes a power when a bole community are actuated by one solve, one conviction, one common mpathy. This force, it was advised ould he applied at elections. There id then it is necessary that We should ake a Grm stand, and there the oppong party will meet us with equal firm ss. Scenes enacted in this city, when illsbury was put in office, demonstrad, that when the white man showed determination to have justice done id to see thut all dealings were fair, the gro was incited to the use of violence order, if not to intimidate the white an, at least to have that effect upon o negro who identified himself with a white mm. If at that time th bite man had been prepared for action -if he had been supported by any mibination of his fellows thero might :rhaps have been some blood spilt, but e blow would have been ''short, sharp id decisive." We would have gained ?r end and been no more troubled in lis section. "It is but the first step iat costs" and it would have been so ;rc. Wc have only to go to Savanih for proof of that theory. Thcro iey made one stand?cnc or two lives ere lost, but the negro learnt a lesson hich he never has forgotten and never ill forget. That ia the way in wbieh i Quercus referred to "bloodshed." The stand ouglrt to be made, and if our opi ponenfs rather than yield to our supe. 'rior influence, raa&e use of meaDS which . must be met "by means as violent, let . us be determined that we will'-meet the issue, and if blood must flott Tift the ' time, lot it-betipon thcii heads. j We have already put up with too t many of tho "ills we have,"?that is, wo r have stood supinely by and seen every . right and privilege swept away, every wrong heaped upon us without once atf tempting to make use of the legitimate f means within reach, whereby we might ! havesaved ourselves. Conservatism is | undoubtedly the best principle to act upon in politics. But when it involves yielding np ourselves and oftr honor "to ' a pack Of scoundrels, allowing tliem to dispose of our liberty and /property ns | they please, then wc think it "begins fn Vie *nrrii>3 tnn far flerr legitimate | .v, ? "O means of opposition is the ballot box.? We can be successful there only by combination. But it is argUsd that the negro is too far in the majority for us to 1 meet and overcome him at the ballot box. That may be true, but let it be remembered thtft as a rule, the negro is well disposed towards the Southern white man. And experience in CharI leston shows, that were he sure of protection from the idle vagabonds who , make the majority of union leaguers, , he would not hesitate in a great many ' instances to side with us. As long as he sees how little co-operation there is | amongst us, he will feel that he would be very insecure, were he bold enough to come over to us. From my own personal knowledge, I know that every negro who voted- with us in our last election was obliged to do it by stealth or else to hide himself very carefully for weeks after the election, because the party which he supported was not sufficiently organized to protect him. "Patience" has taken too hasty a view of Quercus* schemo. Quercus has seen with regret, ever 6ince the war closed, that there was little or no public spirited ness amongst his fellow-citi?ens ? Every man seemed to think that his own individual prosperity was the only thing worthy of consideration. And, in following out that idea, eachonc seems to have forgotten that he was a member of a Commonwealth, and that without the prosperity of the cammonw^ath, his own aims could never prosper. This spirit still prevails extensively, and until every man learns, before he regards his private comfort, to think of hiinoelf first as a member of his political society, we will remain subject to this intolerable system of government. Until, perhaps, younger men, whose blood is not so cold, will, by their hot hcadedncss and hatred of oppression, be goaded on - -I-:- l... .-C to inaugurating tins very uuurcny oi which "Patience" speaks and which Quorcus is trying to show them how to avoid In view of this, Quercus advise caopneratjvo organisation as the only remedy for tlio evil. But that organization would be worth very little which was not prepared for any issue that might be forced trpon it Quercus does not advocate an appenf to arms. lie only asks for the organization of the Caucassian race, the formation of a sort of Caucassian League.? IIo wants every man to feci that so long as he acts conscientiously and truly for the country's good, he will bo supported by his neighbor. And if "Patience" can convince him that it will be better for every man to mind his own affairs and trouble not himself about the political interests of his fellow-citizens, forgetting the fable of "Hercules and the Wagoner," to wait for the manifes* tation of "the divinity that shapes our ends," without aiding ourselves or attempting to do so, then Quercus will be content to remain forever silent and he will adopt for Iris motto, "Patience."

The great tide of adversity which lias swept over oflrr unhappy land, has hitherto stifled" effort in this direction; but not, therefore, have our hearts ceased to bout for the glorious dead. Scarcely is the?o oneumong us whose thought does not, on the first mention of our object, turn at once, with loving affection, to some grave which this monument is intended to honor. Mothers, widows, sisters, daughters, whoso hearts thus cling to the soldier's grave, let us then unite with an earnest, loving effort in this holy duty. Let even our lisping littloone? bo brought to give their mite to its accomplishment; that thus impressed upon* their minds, they % may nevcrforget to love and honor the 'ft memory of those who battled and fell in A our cause. If a lost caus?, even there- cc foro tlio moro holy.

We believe that there pr is no hatural antagonism between the ca interests of the planter and those of the a? laborer; but on the contrary, that lair ;f dealing and a rigid performance of du- b? ty on the part of each will secure the co prosperity of both.
