uation. f
. i
fSonator Thurman, of Ohio, ono of '
tho most distinguished traders of tho
Democratic party, has rcccntly deliv- '
crcd a epccch in Cincinnatti, which 1
Las bcon prononnccd tho ablest polit- 1
ical address ever delivered in Ohio in 1
this or any other campaign. The do- '
fiign of tho 6pcccli is to show the rapid
strides which tho general govern- '
znent has made towards centralization

tho Republican party, and which,
whilst absorbing tho long rccognizcd
powers of the States, havo almost on- 1
tirely obliterated all idea of tho just 1
limits which defino tho powers of
tho General Government and tho
States. Tiieso changes havo bc^n cf- J
focted as well bj* amendments of the
Constitution, as by false interpret a- |
tlous of the instrument carried outj(
ond embodied in unconstitutional con-jj
grcssional legislation. Of those two,11
this, last is the most dangerous, and ,
tho most frequently resorted to. (
The Federal Constitution was ch- i
iablisbed in 178S, and of the ten arli- 1
files of amendment which were adop- 1
ted.iu the three following years, not {
.one of them conferred an additional (
power upon the government; hut on t
tho contrarv, were al! declaratory of r
;thc rights of llio Siatcs, ami wore dc- *
sigucd lo protect these against Feder- t
al usurpation. Equally restrictive tip- ;
on the Federal Government was the ?
eleventh amendment adopted iu 1793;
and the twelfth amendment, adopted'J
in 1S04, provided merely for the elee- ;
tion of President and Vice-President, I
and conferred no new powers upon the jv
government. On tho contrary, with ! *
the advent of tho Republican p:u*ly (
into power, amendments were adopt- s
.cd to restrict tho rights of the Stales I i
and to enlarge tho powers of the Fed- ,
oral Government: and such were the.*
^
13th, 1-ith, and 15tli amendments, llie!(
only amendments of that characterjj
adopted iu the course ol' eighty-one s
years. | J
But llie assaults upon the instru- J
iRcytby false interpretation and Con- ,
^ressional usurpation, havo been mo.-c !
dangerous as they havo been the more 1
insidious. In a timo of profound '
pe^ee, States havo been denied rcprc- (
oontation in Congress, and have been
(compelled to modify or abrogate their
constitutions at tbo will of the domi- '
liant party?martial law has been declared,
and millions of pcoplo havo
boon mado dependent upon tho will
ojt a ungauier uonerai lor tho cnjoj''mcnt
of any civil right?members of
tho Stato Legislatures havo boeu excelled
from their scats by act of Congress?by

,pfScors havo boon directed to interfere
in State elections and yostod with
power to control the eame?Stato I
banks have been taxed out of cxis- '
tcoco?tho right of Congress to con- '
struct works of internal improvement 1
in a Stato, and to regulate th-3 same '
in defiance of Stato law, has been
oponly declared and boldly acted upon
~Uio powers of tho Federal courts
Ijavo been ouppl^yed at the expense of
the Stato courts, bringing the federal
government, day by day.more in con
tact with tho people?at tho same 1
timo that the government maintains ]
a largo army and navy and a largor J
host of civil employees, and tho annu- 1
nl taxation amounts to ovor ?500,000,- *
000.*' *' ' " J
.This rapid advanca..to centralization
tho Senator denounces, for two 1
vnAiiAnn lot nn ^ ' ? '
* uwavuo ;xou? no UCVCDOUUI^ ui<9irui>
tivo of tho ekistenco of the Republic? (
and iJd, as equally prejudicial ,to the
prosperity of the people. A central- 1
ixed power "may exist and long en- (
dure .in compaet countries of limited J
extent; but with such a country and
'of so largo oxtont as ours, tho government
would cithctf becomo tho
veriest despotism, or bo ront into 1
eeparato and independent fragments.
Jiut again in tho great diversity of" i
climatos, soils* aud avocations, what
injustice would bo effected by ousting
the local tribunals, and State Legislatures
of their just powers, and conferring
those upon a Government with
alien interests, will and prejudices? A
consolidated Government would first
crush out tho liborties of the people.
f and then end in a disruption of tho
'lUpnblio. j

Everything seems to be quiot once

icrry Herald tnkoB pains to correct ;u
ho cxngorato.d rumors and fuldObtutc- m
ncnls which havo been circulated C
ioth with rolbronco to tho difficulty at U
yhappcll's and at Cliuton. (j
In roirard to the first, it env*: I;
"Mr. Chappoll diil not kill any s;
>ody, did not deliver himself to u
ho authorities, was not lodged .j
11 jail, consequently tho negroes
veto not called on to lynch hini v
rorn it, nor the white men out t:
or tho purpose of preventing it. x>
lastly, but not loast in importance,
.lie whito citizens who wer^ out were

n.ot- wnrtt fiilliwl nt. 1 l?o iimtanro of *
iho Sheriff, and in hia necessary ab- >
jonco were placed under Colonel Lipscomb's
direction to'maintain peace, e
under regular lawful authority." ^
It awards duo praise to Sheriff Pay- ^
singer for tho wisdom and moderation 11
which ho oxorcised in quieting tho dis- v
Lurbanco, and which likely prevented i'
a, serious collision. 1'
In reply to Radical mhrepresenla- u
Lions of tho affair at Clinton, in Lau- 1
rens, it gives the following statement, "
which it endorses; a
"A parly of gentlemen, about five
n number, went lo Clinton to request ll
hat the anus there kept would not be v
;ivcn out to the colored men, it being i.
isccrtained that such a purpose wan
contemplated. The person or persons
n possession gave the required piomsc,
and the gentlemen on reiurning d
xcro lired into by a parly of colored j
ncn, the fire was returned and three! ^
>r lour of the assailants were wound-;'
?d. Here that matter ended. Aii1
night, notwithstanding tlie promise, 1
.he arms were distributed. Onilon-,t
lay morning some throe hundred arm-'
>d negroes gathered in the vieini.y ol'j _
'liulon, and threais were made ihatl'1
he country "within live miles round | *
should be burnt. -.Becoming apprized e
>f this alarming condition of aii airs. r'[
vhitc citizens from the surrounding' n
ountry quickly turned out, and soon j'
i large ibrce had collected. Acting |
inder authority of Mr. .Smith Jones !l
Jberilf of Lauren?, a committee of live ' I
gentlemen was sent to the insurgents!0
o ascertain the nature of the warlike
itlilude. They were .told that they
ad been informed I lie white men
vere about to take their arms?anoih-i r
one of tho radical plans for promo- h
ing strife?and that they had turned |o
>ut to prevent it. The committee n?-||.
ii'.red them no such idea had been en-|f.
eriained, that the white men did not1
vant their guns, had uo use for them,!1
md would not touch them if they ;h
.vere lying out in I he road. On being iji
lUesiioned as to the threats of burn-j^
Dir. thev denied evoi- haviiiT ninilc !
iuy, uiid that being convinced now
L.iut lhoy were wrongly informed as 1
Lo the while men intending lo lake i
the guns, would go to tl-eii* homos pea- a

jd to l!ic ohcriil"? pos.se. 'I lie iusur- 11
r^ci?ts in a short time dispersed with
[lie exception of about sixty, who loiLercd
about town until near nigh'." s
According to the statement of the 0
fJtralJ, the difficulties have boon ou- ^
Li rely brought on by the negroes ; and *
the whites, on the contrary, have been !l
acting purely on the defensive, and *
have been seeking only to ullay the M
troubles which they lnivo been uccu- I

Tlio Proclamation of tho Governor. ,
In another column wo publiah the ^
proclamation of tho Governor, against
awlossncss and violence in the connr
Lica of Newberry and Laurens, which t
though general in its terms, seems to ^
be especially directed ngainst white j
inned military organizations The
colored have been organized and armr
2d under the authority of tho Govor- e
nor, and honco, wo suppose, do not ^
:omo within tho purview of his pro- ,
. lamation. But whon white men arm
Ihemselvos to protcct their lives and
property?tho sanctity of their homes ^
md tho safety of their families?that
\ct is unauthorized, and they rendor
themselves emennijo to the paina
ind penalties of tho Act of Itarch
13th, 18G9?to imprisonment and hard 1
abor in tho penetentiary. Surely c
Lho whitCB havo 'somo rights which 1
Governor Scott is "bound to protcct." 1
[f not protected by State authority, f
lliey must protcct themselves. Self- '
Jofence is ono of tho inalicnablo J
rights. In tho late troubles in New- 1
berry and Laurens tho whites Bcemcd *
to havo acted purely on tho defensive "
?in Newberry thc3r formed tho posse
of tho Sheriff"and acted strictly under

their patron ago, v.* on hi slate thut, for

identified with tho Mercantile interests
of this place, uu*J if there be any
virtue in experience we believe wo
have profited & ? far by it, as to have
becomo, by this time, thoroughly acquainted
with tho wants of the trading
public. It shall bo our constant
aim to supply those wants. "Wo sbal
ever strivo to morit, and oven to in
crea'so that patronage which has beoL
so liberally bestowed upon tho ok
firms of "While, Smith & Co., aut
\\ hi to Brother
Wo know that this can only bt
done by the strictust regard to hon
esty and fuir doling in ail our trans
actions. Wo intend that juuslieo bhui
bo don? to all.
Ono of our firm will leave for Now

deavor to sustain 6ur reputation a;
Merchants by always keeping goodi

long Bince found that tho article o
