C. 0ARLINGTON A CO., Proprietors. SThc Negro and Polillo?. I_Ono of tho most difficult problems ? that tho Soii I hern people hiivo ovor boon culled upon to consider, is met ' when wo attempt to lind the proper, place for tho negro in tho politics j of tho country. In'fnct, tho negro . question generally hes puzzled tho | minds of the wisest and best of oiy statesmen and philosophcjE . Olid t is liko'y^to go down'^.he ages, still eusltrouded in mystery. Ono thing is, sure; it is not probable that South Caro.'i nu can long maintain peace ami prosperity among all | classes of her citizens, and^ attain that degreo of prosperity so much desired, so long as we have a das i 1 of citizens in our midst who are; subject to our laws, and yet in poli- ! tics are virtually ignored. While j from*e.vperioneo wc have learned | the utter Incapacity of this race to ; govern themselves, yet it is to he ; regretted that we of the Sic.ith ', have not been aide io convince thc i negro that the white dom >eral is his friend. Whenever this is done; whenever he finds that the demo cratic party ls friendly to his race and will alford him that protection ' which he has a righi to expect; whenever he is brought to see tin benefits that dow from democratic , control,"and is induced to embrace ; this party because of its superiority; and more especially, when he see's that he Jins a voice in the election of officers, then wo may expect to j see this race become more content ed; we may look for their ara Ina! elevation. There was a time when thoy held the reins of government, and it is acknowledged that the success of tho democratic party In 'Td was i". a large measure due to their voice nt the polls. Now that they have aided in establishing good govern ment, is it right that they should he denied some placo in the political picture. It behooves every '.rue ami loyal democrat, not only wh( n danger threatens, hut now, as at all times, to urge the colored people to fall into democratic ranks. They have a voice, and though for a time it may he hushed, sooner or later il will hurst forth and demand recog nition, like (he spontaneous desire that seized our forefathers and caused them to throwofftho British yoke, or else they w ill see!: some country that does recognize their political rights. Oiling; Advice. It is bard forman to conceive an easier task than giving ad vice. From lin; youthful school boy who has scarcely learned tho Creek alphabet, or heard of such a thing as a Latin Primer, tojthc most venerable old fogy (hat ever pointed out dangers to the "young America," or breathed condemna tion upon the advancements and progress of civilization, we lind that free advice con- (tutes thc chief stock In trade with all, and is given in wasteful profusion noon every occasion. To tho experience of others; tho history of the past, ns handed dow n to us in worlets (hat are the offsprings of superior learning and wisdom coll ided with tho experience and ob servation of ages, we aro indebted for the attainments of tho present age. It is only hy viewing the suc cesses and failures of (hose in whose footsteps we aro treading, that we can make substantial progress. Ho who undervalues tho advice of those competent to advise, or .seek -, to steer his hark irrespective of the beacons on the shore, or the dan ger slguals In bis course, will sure ly meet disaster. It ls not difficult to distinguish between true and genuine advice, administered for tho purpose of improvement, and (hat which, though often given willi a show of earnestness, Is only tho effusion of chronic growlers, and being un solicited, ls seldom appreciated. Many are anxious to tell others how to do that which, during a lifetime, thoy could not accomplish themselves. On the 13th inst., the Jury in tho ease of the State vs. BKM.IM.I <-., ebnrirod with tho murdcrof Hu,KV, the colored beckman, In Charles ton, came into court and Announced that they could not agre'? upon H verdict, and a mistrial wa?ordered.
