A Good Thing We understand that the officers of the 1st Maine Unltalion are spending a few days at Florence, having sent their companies forward to Charleston to be commanded temporarily by Brevet Major General Hatch. Extract from President Lincoln's Inau gural Address, March 4th, 1865. "The Almighty has his own purpose*. Wo unto the world because of offences. For it. must needs be that offence* come, but wo to that man by whom the offence cometh! If we shall suppose that American Slavery is one of these offences—which in the providence of God must needs come, but which, having con tinued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both North and South this terrible war as the wo ■due to those by whom th? offence came—shall wc discern therein any departure from those divine attributes vrhioh the believers in a liv ing God always ascribe to him? "Fondly do wc hope, fervently do we pray that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty year's of uure<tuilted toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn by the lash shall be paid by a- nothcr drawn by the sword ; as was said three thousand years ago, so still must it be said that the judgments of the Lord ore true and righteous altogether. With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, a* God gives us to seethe right, let us strive on to finish the work wo are in; to bind up the Nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphans; to do all which mny achieve and cherish a just und a lasting peace among ourselves and with nil Nations."

HAM nowinatiou, and us the time is short, forth with give you my views of the situation, ami cheerfully leave the rest to you. This is no time for mineing matters; the occasion is a g;ravo one; the election one of the most important since the com mencement of our history. We find our selves reduced from a state of unexam pled prosperity and happiness, almost to bankruptcy and beggary; we sec our fields laid waste, our country devastated, our property destroyed, our cities burned, und the most free and best government in the world converted for a time, so far as we are concerned, into a military despotism. It will be tile business of this Convention to remedy, as far as possible, these evils ; to atone for the errors of the past, by ac commodating ourselves to the new order of things, thcoicw ideas, and now philosophy which our situation brings with it. It is natural that in looking about you for rep resentatives who shall speak for you in tins body, that you should select men whose antecedents would enable them, with more case and cordiality, “ to restore the State to its constiutional relations with the Federal government.” Fortunately for mc'I am not a stranger to yuu. You have trusted me before, and I refer with pride to the record, to show that I never betrayed that trust to your detriment. You know that I opposed Se cession when it brought upon me contum ely and defeat, and that I was in favor of reconstruetiou, when such sentiments ed as little loss than treason. When you look back through the long and dreadful years of the rebellion, and think of your friends and kindred, who have fallen on bloody fields, or languished and died in loathsome prisons, when, in one word, you reflect upon the cause of all our woes, “thou canst not say I did it.” If elected to the Convention my efforts will he directed to enabling Clio people "to present such a Republican form of State government, as will entitle the IState to the guarantee of the United States there for, and its people to protection by the United States, against invasion, insurrec tion and domestic violence.” I utterly repudiate the notion of the old 'ies that the people are incapable of self-government. • lam in favor of giving the election of Electors for Presracnt and Vice President, and that of Governor to the people. I believe that the retention of these elections in the Legislature, has contributed more than anything else to enable a few wire-pullers to precipitate not only this State, hut the whole slave-hol ding region, into a revolution, which has resulted iu- our overthrow. It has pre vented the existence of parties in the State, which I regard* as essential to the health of a Republic. The tendency hxs been to discourage discussion, to leave Truth at the bottom of the well, and the people in bliudnoss. We have presented the mis erable spectacle of a blind people follow ing blind leaders, and it required not the ken of prophecy to foretell tho result. I will advocate the abolition of that un just and partial feature in our old Con stitution, known as the “ 1'arish System,” a system which without sense or reason gave to the Districts on the sea-coast an overwhelming power in the Legislature. I will recognise the fact, (as I have sworn to do in taking the Amnesty Oath,) that Slavery is dead. It has died a pre mature death, the victim of its most zeal ous friends and supporters. 1 will shed | over its departure no tears. It has been to us a curse—an impediment to all pro gress—a source of political agitation, and the cause of tho most bloody war of modern times. 1 could have wished that its abolition had boon gradual, that so ciety should not have been suddenly con vulsed by a change in our system of labof. but as its friends would have it otherwise I must submit. Wc should encourage immigration from the North, South, East and West. Popu lation is the wealth of a country. When our country becomes filled with an enter prising, industrious and intelligent popu lation, then may we look for the wilder ness, and the solitary place to be glad; then shall the desert rejoice and blossom as the rose. Be not discouraged, my fellow country men, I-believe a brighter destiny awaits us if we will but be true to ourselves, and our best interests. Your follow citizen, J. H. NORWOOD. Darlington S.
