T hursday, July 12, 1877. R. MFANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Associato Editor. AssoCIATE JusTIcE WRi toiT (1oliver ed a glowing temporanco lecture, recently, in Beaufort. 3ut when the time eano for signing -the pledge, ho declined, on the ground that being under charges of intemn peranef, -a pledge of abstenanco might imply an acknowledgoment of the fau't. The excuse wris thin, but Wright will enjoy his "thart ha 1)arilla." THiE PAN "PItnerIyTrAN council is in session in Edinbiurg. As its namo implies, it is Composed of dele gates from all Presb3terian bodies in the world. Dr. McCosh of Princeton, Dr. Smith of New Or, loans, and Dr. Jhuner of Columbia, are the most prominent Ameriecin Presbyterians in attendance. While it will be, of course, impossible to lnitL all' the. different. sets into one, it is hoped that they will be enabk'd to unite on certain fimdanental principles, which will bring the churedI nonver together, and increase its tnrofulness agyainst evil. A Question Answered. Ne1h'srs. Editors . Soie of us in this part (of the county, believing that editors know, or ought to know, everything, re spectfully rugimst'yo to inform us whether a straightout Democratic nominating conven tion 'has any right, under the miles and laws governing the Democracy of the country, to entertain for nomiuntion to any oflico tho-name of try party or parties who may not be rceogniz 0d members of said organization An answer will very much oblige a number of 'SDJE-HEADS.' We wish our friends would ask us some "easy questions," such as the theory of evolution, er .tlbe docteino of traneubstantiation or the true inwardness of the 'Beecher Tilton affair. It is hardly right to jump suoh a question as tho abovo on such short notice 111)o11 an un suspecting and humblo member of the quil-driving fraternity. As an editor, however, is expected to tackle every question presentedl to hinm, whatever ho its complicationls or mlagnitu'do,-wo will comp~ly with the request of our' "Sore-head" friends to the boa~t of our ability. Thero is a distinction bettwoon p)ower and expedieney, between the right to do a thing anid'the p~olicy of doing it. The first is absolute, the second depends upon1 -sur.rouinding circustancos existing at the time that the question of exercising the right arises. In Republican institu tions, the widest latitude is allowed to personal thought, and personal action. 'A party is an aggregation of individuals, and a party has therefore the broadest powers ox, copt when limited 'by its 'Constitu tion. Not having a constitution. to refer to, we must deduce principles from precedents. In 1872, the National Democratie Convention endor'sed G roeley and Browvn, Liberal Repub licans. About that same time the Democrats and Granger's of Wiscovsin and the other Western States nominated mixed tickets. In 1874 Dorsheimor, a Liberal Re publicau, ,was nominated and elected .by the Dorunocraks, lioutonant-gov-. V ..ornor of New York. .In 1876 the Newv York Democrats nominated John Bigolow, a 'Liberal, for Secre ~tary of State, and .in 1876 'they chose Lucius Robinson, another Liberal, for .governor. In 1870, .also, tihe Democrats of Massachu setts nominated Chaeles Francis .Adams,. a Liberal Republican, for governor. These p~recedonts seem to. show .that the Demnooratie party has assorted' its p)ower.to go beyond party limits -.when policy demands such a stop. The next question is as to the policy. .This, (every member of .the party must decido for himself. In the precedents cited, two different phases were presented, one in which the party felt itself too weak to win firmly united, 'itsolf, it desired to increase its power by annoxing to its .organization a certain elomont not previously allied to it by political ties, but !entertaining sympathy for its ends, and hostility to the aims of the opposing organization. In the first instance, the I)emnoerats were brought over to the Liberal 1opub licans, and lost. In the second, they brought in the Liberals to their camp, and won. The first was bad, the second was good policy ; the dif fereuco consisting in the "bringing" and .tho "being brought." Another axiom ofi political policy is first, to liarmonize and solidify your own party, and then to gather accretions of strength fromi without. Both .iue of importaneo, but the for mer is of chief nmomoi. We .believe we have shown that the Democratic ;party luis asserted the right sto do just what it. pleases, but that the policy of ex ercising that right depends on cir eumstances to be deaidel acordin" to the rules given above. 11e iolicy ii: always to be settled by a lmjority of the pArty through their d(-legates in ConlveIulion, ani d that dec'esiou nutst be finial. For the good of the party, the minori t naitt yiell. The Court has charg npo min the law. The jury must decide the facts. Their ve'rdict is final.
