Coming as they do, from ono of the most prominent men of the Repub lican party in the State, and of recogniz-1 ed ability, sag.ncity and integrity, mey will coniraaud attention even from those who dissent from his conclusions. In the objects which he propcecs, and the means for thoir accomplislimeut, he indeed announces scarcely anything which he has not rej>eatcdly urged be fore, but he differs in this, that his posi tion is more clearly defined, and his op position to Radical misrule more active and aggressive. Not content with merely pointing the way, ho proposes t?. bead the crusade of reform, and calls upon all good citizens who uwue uu '1WI. | government, to join in the campaign. ' He has already taken the stump, and ' standing on the Republican platform, ; and announcing himself a good Repub lican?a "Pharisee of the Pharisee"?a , faithful ally of Grant and his policy, he is now seeking to rid the party of thai Incubus of corruption here, which is threatening its existence everywhere? < and which but for the diversion created : by the Tammany frauds would have r.c comx>lislied its ruin ere now. In all of ( this work of reform, he promises the sealous co-operation of Grant, and all good Republicans everywhere. And we too can promise him in his work the sympathy and support of every good cit sen of the Stated but not if it involve?, , V Judge Orr holds to be necessary, that they should Join the Republican rank?. "We sympathize in his objects, but can- 1 . not with our views of political consist- ; ency, or of a proper regard for political principle, endorse the m;;iuis by which he proposes to eflcct them. If principles might be assumed or put off, as n man dons or dofiV his coal, then ~J mliflif. ho<v>mt> a. t/ue n gWU JL/CilP'OlUV . .. .. and accented Iiepuhlican, b;;t not till then. Circumstances change, and it is the part of true -wisdom to change wit'i them, hut Ihere arc differences which are radical e.n.l indestructible. AsJoug as this remains a freo government, two parties must exist here?parties, which whatever thijy may hold in common, must present essential differences?the one the party of centralization, tending to military despotism ; the other of lo cal self-government, presenting the only guarantecof civil rights* Disguise it a;? you may, and assimilate political crecds at your will, these are the essential <lif ferences which you can neither jgnore nor cxlirpato, exceni l>v a changeiu the character of the government .'tself. But it may be asked, if by the support of Greeley, his political opponent d<> not renounce all that is distinctive ii? their o^aiiizat'.ou, and become vhiuiUy Republicans themselves. By no man ner of means. The very fact that tho 1 saje of Chaj.pnqua is charged wiiJi hav ing sold himself to the Democrats by the men of hi3 own party, would sock. to negative such a presumption. Nei ther party has renounced its organiza tion, nor abjured its principles. A"? upon the questions of free trade and protection, they have agreed to differ for the time being, and to sustain a ticket which is neither Republican nor Demo cratic, but the exponent of honest gov ernment, and which appeals to the sup nnrt. nf all trood citizens. a3 presenting the oaly hope of relief. It is hut apply ing to national polities the remedy which has proved so effective in Mis souri, Tennessee, Virginia and other States, and which but for the peculiar circumstances of the ?tatc, mi jht jhave achieved success in South Carolina. But Judge Orr tells us that the only hope of safety lies in joining the Re^ publican ranks?that reform must come through the dominant party; and that wo must Join the organization to purify It. We doubt the policy, even if we wore willing to forego our principles. What influence might the new converts hope to exert upon the councils of their newly adopted allies ? Under the most fovorable circumstances, they forfeit to some extent, the confidence of their late associates, without acquiring that of their now friends; subject tlieir motives to misinterpretation, and attain the un enviable reputation of tiuifc-servers, who are willing at all seasons to barter their principles for place and position. What influence could they hope to ex ert upon the colored people, who look upon the Southern whites as tbeir polit ical enemies, and who would this day re nounce Grant if the Southern whites could be induced to support him. Some thing more will be required to gain the control of the blacks, than becoming Republicans. If the party is to bo re formed here, let a better class of Ile publicans be imported from the North; men of Liberal views and honest princi ples, who will join with the Southern people upon a broad platform, with which cheering success in some of the States aow goes into the Presidential campaign Tith the most flattering prospects. Th o1 w election of Greeley and Drown will or- J ganize such a party here, but until that be accomplished wc have but little hope of reform. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

Some of them are aspirants for office, and tire disposed to press the claims of Bor deaux for a "place in the picture." The Due West Commencements.?

New York View of tlie Prospect Price oi the Staple. E. J. Ponncll, the New York cotl jroker, in his circular, issued on 1 2d inst., f?a3*s: Jnst now speculation is aim wholly suspendod. Last season, I vmounl of <-otlon afloat for IDiirc . ontiniicd largo all summer; this s >on, it is certain it will dwindle do .0 a mere trifle. In fact, nearly ,!?o supply Europe <;an expect in 1 icxt four months is now in sig l'he three to four hundred thon^a jales of useless cotton held in Liv pool and London arc counted as sto md, for ihe moment, becauso pro *re in the mood^Lo seo externals on Lhey have a great moral effect. 'I mood will change and then it will riewed differently. One Lliing seems to bo admitted ill hands: wo will commence the n< season with a very scant supplj Aruoriran cotton everywhere. fJ ilato of opinion in Liverpool as to [uture is shown by a sale reported Ja3T, even in tho present depres condition of that market, of Orlea for September delivery, at lljd. At tho samo.timo, it is quito riji ral Lhat our Southern frionds sho bo frco sellers of tho growing cr aflar tho many disappointments tl have had. I think they do not c< prehend tho era of expansion in wh we arc living, and which seems to to bo only in its commecccrac rhere are certainly no signs ol hfiviixr rnlminnf.ftd. nr oven hnv ? ? e> ??j - -? arrived anywhere near its culrai lion. Whatever pauses or tcrapori roucLion may take place, it is mora L-crtain that we are to have more tl :>nc year yot of great activity and e higher priccs iu most articles of tri and speculation. In Northern Gc sjia. at the present time, pig iron t! x>st ?17 per ton, put on the railrc jars, sells frccty in Cincinnati at j per ton; cost of transportation $9 ] ton. Of all the productions of hun industry, there is none so true an icx to the condition of trade as ir fhis is my reason for mentioning 1 ibovo fact, an& also becauso it is the immediate neighborhood of i jotton planners, and probably kno .0 very fow of thom. There is ano 3r fact with which they aro probal aaoro familiar; I mean tho cnorm< profits realized by the cotton factories of tbo South during tbo past two years. Theso profits aro unexampled, yet they aro by no means accidental, but, on the contiary, the natural fruit Of a condition of trado and financo justcomingto maturity and producing its iruit, to-day in one direction, to morrow in another. Tliese observa tions of course refer to the futuro and to tho general course of ovents. For the timo being, tho prico of cotton must depend upon the activity or in activity of speculation. So much is this tbc case that people have no pa tience with legitimate trado. "When an artii:lc"is left to legitimate demand and supply, nearly everybody tires of it and wants to get out of it. llow long the present relaxation may con tinue in tho cotton market it is impos siblo to predict. Tlio excited upward movement commenced more than a month ngo, and continued until the shorts were all tortured .into covering. On the same principle, I suppose the spcculativo long holders must be tor tured out of their holdings. That is tho usual course in such fluctuations. Tlie Charleston Market.

Tiie Crops.?The intelligence in ref erence to tho growing crop has been, to a great extent, favorable, with rather too much dry weather in some districts and a full supply of rain in others, hut up to this the growth, as a w hole, un doubtedly keeps very promising' The com crop has suffered in many localities from n lorn? anell of dry weather, produ cing almost a failure in limited neigh borhood?, -while in other places sulB cicnt water has been hail to develop the grain. The lower portions of the rivers in thi3 State are becoming fait, and an the period is 7\car when planters will have to put afresh flow on the rice, this crop in the lower part of the streams is threatened with tenons injury or total loss, unless good rains arc speedily ob tained.

Hereafter no abatement will be grant* ed, except in cases where clerical errors occur. It is also the duty of every Tax Payer to see that thore who appear dilatory in making their Returns are urged to do so, ana if not, to report them to the County Auditor, who will immediately execute .the law, which, provides that where a Tax Payer fails to make a Be* turn to the County Auditor, or his'Dep uty, within the time prescribed by law, the last Return made by said Tax Pay er will be copied from the Auditor# Books and fifty per cent, added thereto, and in cases where Tax Payers escape paying their Taxes for any one year^tn* penalty quoted in Sec. 47, Special Ses sion 1*08, will be strictly adhered to, which provides for the same penalty as in the above case. I wouid also suggest that parties mak ing Returns would contrive to attend the Assessors on the different dates, as coufusion occasioned by aisrge number of Tax Payers at the close of the As sessor's given time may occasion many disagreeable errors, and give to the' Tax Payers and Assessors a great deal of un necessary trouble.
