tho Night Before Christmas. Twa"? the Dight beforo Christmas, whet? oil through tho house, Not . > creature was stirriug, not OYCU a UIOUHO; Tho stookiugs wcro hung by tho chimney with cure, lu hopos that St. Nioholus soou would bo thoro; The obildrou woro nestled all snug in their bods, While visions of sugarplums danced through their hoads; And mom inn iu her 'kcrohiof, ?nd I in my oap, Had just settled our broius for n long win tor's usp; Whoo out ou tho lawn thoro arose suoh a olatter, I arose from my bod to soo what was tho mattor; Away to tho window 1 flow Uko a flash, Torc opon tho window ant} threw up tho sash, Tho moou on tho breast of tho now-fullcn snow, Gavo the lustro of mid-day to objeots below; Wheo, what to my woudoring oyes ahould appear, But a miniatura sleigh and eighty tiny rciu deer; With a little old driver, so lively and quiok; I know in a momout it must bo St. Niok. Moro rapid than oaglos his coursers they came, Aud ho whistled, and shouted, and called thom by name: "Now, Dashorl now, Dancer! now, Pranocr! now, Vixcu! On, Comet! on, Cupid, ou, Dunder and Blitzoul To tho top of tho porohl to tho top of tho . wall! Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all!" As leaves that beforo tho hurricano fly, When they meet with on obstado mount to tho sky; So up to tho housetop tho coursers they flew, With a sleigh full of toys-and St. Nicho las, too! And then iu a twiukling I heard ou tho roof, / Tho prancing and pawing of each littlo hoof. As I drew in my head aud woe turtling around Down tho Chimney St. Nioholaa carno with a bound! Ile wns dressed all ia fur from his hoad to his foot, And his clothes wore oil tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toy es he had flung on his back, And ho looked Uko a peddler just openiug . his pnok. His oyes-how they twinkled! his dimples. how merry! His cheeks wore liko roses, his noso Uko a oherry! His droll littlo mouth was drawn up like a bow; And his board on his chin was as white as tho snow; Tho stump of a pipe ho held tight in his teeth, And tho smoke, it cnoirolod his head liko a wreath; Ho had a broad face, and a round littlo bolly, That shook, when ho laughed, Uko a bowl of jelly, Ho was chubby and plump; a right jolly old elf, And 1 lauged when I saw him, in spito of myself. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gavo mo to know that I had nothing to droad. Ho spoko not a word, but weat straight to his work, And filled all tho stockings, then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger asido his noso, And giving a nod, up tho ohimnoy ho rose; Ho sprang to his sleigh, to Iiis toam gave a whistle, And away they all flew like tho down of a thistle; But I heard him exclaim ere ho drove out of sight; "MERRY CIIRITMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!'' Comments of. the State Press ou Col. Aiken's Lotter. [Charleston News and Courier.] This frank enunciation of opinion by Congrassmau Aiken will tako away tho breath of tho hide-bound politicians who oonocivo of nothing beyond, or higher than what is now known as tho Democratic party. It is somewhat novel, wo admit, to find a Democrat, holding a high publio olfico at tho hands of the Domooratio party, prcaohing its funeral sermon and ordering its incremation. But Congressman Aiken will, of courso bo a loyal Democrat until his millennial party shall bo formed nnd his millennial candidato bo found. This is not yet. Wo grant that thero aro objectionable features in tho Democratic party, but wo have no idea that equally grave objections will not be found in any other political or ganization, iu tho present or tho future, Now parties do not spring into existence fror foot and fully armed. They grow up ittlo by littlo, yoar by year, and il is use less to nttompt to hasten tho process. If the Domooratio candidates bo badly beaton in 1880, tho National Domooratio party will bo eonsidorably weakened, and it may go to picocs. But to assert now that it has outlived its usefulness and should be wiped out is noithor judioious nor just. What ever is tho oase in tho North, there is no hopo or rest for tho South exocpt in and by tho Domooratio party. To proclaim its downfall in advanoo is to place ourselves, in our nakedness, at the mercy of our enemies. South Carolina's moin business is to hold what sho has npd to carry tho Stato again next year. Tho uoxt highost duty is to help to elcot tho Domooratio oandidato for President. Neither one task nor tho other will be mode tho easier by giving up tho fight beforo it begins, and oasting about for novel methods with now men. There certainly is not in existence, ot this limo, tiny existing politieal party, outsido of tho Domooratio party, to whioh wo can turn with any expectation of improving our position. Tho National Labor party and the Groonbaok party, in their various forme, have no attractions for prudent men who want just and stable government. Noithor ttntlcrism uor Kcurnoyistu is tho party of tho futuro. lu our opinion, noy movement that ia predic?te J of tho belief that the National Doiuoeralio party ia dying, or ought to be, simply gives encouragement to those who hanker after tho Strong Mau with whom tho S tul warts threaten US. The wisest thing for tho country to do, at pres ent, is to moko tho best of tho two groat political partios by nominating the worthi est candidates that oan bo found, and in sisting that tho loaders adhere to Constitu tional principles instead of dyoing and turn ing choir dogmas to suit tho whimsies of tho times. It is easier to do this than to obtain equal good sonso and patriotism from BOUIO now party, inasmuch as tho ?btest and loftiest Americans now living aro found in tho Dcmooratio or Republican ranks, There aro knaves and demagogues there in abundance, but tho wisc, tho pure, mid tho unselfish statesmen aro thoro also. [Anderson Intelligencer, j Col. Aiken's constituents will leam from it with no I it tl o regret that their represen tativo regards tho .Democratic party--tho party called into existence during tho ad ministration of Washington, although under a different nanto, by tho efforts of tito Fede ralists of that day to destroy tho ?Stnto governments and establish a consolidated Federal government; tho party whioh for moro than sixty years controlled tho ad ministration of publio a fin irs of tho country, and mado this ono of tho first countries of tho world, and thc party, and thc ouly porty, whioh to-day as in 1790 is opposing consoli dation and imperialism, hus outlived its usefulness, and should bekwiped out. Col. Aiken would not destroy tho existence of parties, for ho recognizes thoir uecossity, but ho docs object to their designation as .Democrat and Republican, and would have a "now deal"-a now party-formed by calling a convention of tho industrial ele ments of tho country, and forming a Presi dential ticket without regard to either of tho political parties. This is speculatively beautiful, but practically impracticable. Supposo Col. Aikeu should ?ssomblo his convention of tho industrial interests of thc couutry. What discordant clements would compose that covention! Thoro would bo Democrat and llopublionn, tho Butternut of tho Atlantic and tho Kcarncyism of thc tho PaoiOo, tho adv?calo of a protootivo tariff and tho advocate of free trade, tho constitutionalist and tho oonsolidatioualist, all striving for tho ascendancy, with no power or common tio to harmonize thom. From tho assembling of such a convention as this, composed of discordant, waring clements, wo should have confusion worse confounded. Tho whole thing is chimeri cal and wholly impracticable. If constitu tional liberty is preserved on tho American continent, it must bo through tho instru mentality of tho Dcmocrotic party. De stroy this party, and thu rights Of States and tho liberty of tho citizen aro gone. Thc missiou of thc Dcmooratio porty will not be accomplished as long as American liberty as secured by thc fathers of tho Republic is to bc preserved os a common heritage, and perpetuated to succeeding ages. Wo regret still moro that Col. Aiken should have deemed it prudent to publish to tho whole country a lotter, tho ONLY tendency of which is to dishearten and demoralize tho party with whioh ho has been identified all his lifo, and whioh placed him iu tho high and responsible position which ho now occupies, end to encourage and Bustain tho Republican party whioh ho has abused in no uncertain terms from its beginning. Ho expresses tho oouviotion that no partisan, as a Democrat, oan carry tho Slate of New York, nod that Demooracy cannot carry Indiana. In other words, that tho defeat of tho Dcmoorats in 1880 is inevitable. If thc next Presidential contest ts to bc between tho Democrats and Ree publicans, and wo cnn seo no other possible prospect, then this expression of conviction is most unwiso ana impolitic. It eau accomplish no good for tho party or tho country, and we eau find no motive for its publication unless there is organized, or in process of organization, a "new deal" in tho formation of political parties not disclosed in tho letter or elsewhere Wo confess wc io not understand Col. Aileen's position. If ho intends to enter the eon tuft in 1880 under tho Democratic banner, ho would not have proclaimed in advance thc inevitable defeat of his party; and if such is not his intention, and he is engaged in tho organi zation of a "new deal," tho people should bo informed of it, and know something of Lho remedy proposed for tho ruin sought to bo accomplished, is it truo, however, that the success of tho Democrats in 1880 is improbable, not to say their defeat inevita ble. Senator Hampton and Butler, with [ho leaders of tho party, soy that with judi cious selections of candidates wo will mcoeod. Tho prospect of success to-day is ?nore promising thon it uns in 187*6, when Tilden received a majority of near half a million of thc popular voto of tho whole country. We do not despair of success. Wc aro much moro hopeful than iu 18"/G, ind if united and conlidont wc shall look for IUCCCBS; but such letters from tho leaders of [ho party, published in tho popers of tho ?vholo country, as that of Col. Aiken's will seal its doom. [Newberry Nows.] Congressman Aiken has rcocntly been ittcnding tho National Orango at Canaii laigua, Now York. Upon his return to Washington ho wroto a lottor to tho flews md Couria', which has exoited muoh attention and comment. In this letter ho ipcak8 of tho corruption existing in both bo Republican and Dcmooratio parties; if tho want of patriotism, of statesmanship, if ability and tho adhcrenco to porty prc? ?opt and behest, whioh characterize tho >romincnt men of both these parties. Ho lospairs of their ever being ablo to riso bovo it. Particularly docs ho despair cf ho Dcmooratio party. Ho 6ccs nothing ?ut. gloom und defeat in storo for it. Thctci oro he proposes and prcdiots tho formation .f another party-by thc people-aloof from nd above tho linos and principles of either f tho existing parties. To this he looks or tho future purification of tho publio orvieo and proteotion of a constitutional ;ovornmeut. Wo do not know what thc entimont of Northum Dcmoorats is-wo OVO not been among them as Col. Aiken ios-but wo do know that tho Democratic copie of this portion of South Carolina do ot sustain Col. Aiken's viows and proposi ons. If (Joh Aiken could hear tho tones f disapproval in whioh his constituents, of lis, his own district, speak of tho contents F his letter, ho would bavo littlo doubt that thoir bosom? boat responsivo to tho o*OI of tho Democratic party, and that thoir fealty ood loyalty to that grand oid party is the ozponent of puro Republican princi ples, is not shoked by past events or futuro dangore, nor turned aside by tho disposition, becoming so prevalent, to run after now gods. [Abbovillo Press and Banner ] And now our own chosen Democratic Congressman, whom wo havo sent to tho outposts, flics oft' otu tangent and proposes to disband tho Democratic party.on tho ovo of going into a supremo ooutest with tho Republicans for President. A proposition ou tho part of our Congressman looking to Indopcudentism sounds BO unlike tho Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken that wo can scarcely bos liovo our senses when we rood his declara tions which aro to bo found olscwhoro in tho columns of tho Press and Banner. Ho olaims to havo had many advantages by reason of his travels and by his stay in Washington. These travols and his stay in Washington may accouut for Iiis advauccd political ideas, which would disintegrate tho only political party that has over shown tho South any consideration, and into whoso fold tho South lias mado almost superhuman efforts to plaoo tho loool Stato governments. The Honorable Congressman in speaking of our boys at ?Schenectady, significantly says: "Were their plastio minds not moro or less imbued with tho ideas that alienated'them from their nativo State?" It may bo wiso to "go back" on tho Democratic party now, but wo fail to seo it in that light. Tho lotter of tho Hon. D. W. Aiken will bo rood with surprise by constituents who have always regarded him as a simon-pure Dem ocrat and a genuino Radical hater, and os a politician with such pronounced Democratic views as would allow him to moke no polit ical affiliations whatever with Republicans of any sort. fAbbcvillo Medium.] Col. Aiken says that neither party now in existence has the power to promoto tho wo Karo of thc country or strengthen thc government; that they aro selfish and de signing and having outlived their usefulness aud tlio special objects of their creation they must dissolve and give way to a groud national party, organized without regard to former political party or section aud work for tho good and glory of tho wholo coun try without nuy rcferonoo to tho solid South or tho solid North, but in harmony for tho Union. Col. Aiken proposes to moko up his party out of tho industrial clements of sooioty-tho farmers and mechanics and workingmen of tho nation. I lo has boon looking into tho futuro and is confident that tho organization of this great national po litical confederation is only a question of timo and that it must bo speedily formed. No ono will deny that there is a crying ne cessity for reform in tho politics of all pur? tics aud that thc Union cannot stand forever if thoso who fill the offices and mako tho laws aro chosen for purely party and not patriotic reasons. Tho tendency ?8 steadily downward-tho money rings and all thoir foul aud hateful allies aro Bucking tho vory lifoblood out of tho government. This is all true, but it is a question of very serious importance whether this is tho timo, just in advance of tho next Presidential election, which will bo tho most important ever held in tho United States, to agitato tho de struction of all existing parties and tho formatlou of a now sooicty against tho enemies of our country: whether thc old Demoorooy caunot better meet tho onior genoics of tho times than any party Col. Aikon can ever hopo to start. It takes time and labor to organize a political party. Tho Republican party was not tho work of Ibo war. It was in cxistenco forty years beforo it had any impression on tho politics of tho nation aud it only gathered strength by tho lapso of years and tho vigilance and activity of its founders. If this new party is to draw its strength from tho farmers and workingmen of tho country whoso interests ore divided and who havo never yet been known lo unite on any singlo public quos tion, it will die boforc it is boru. Colonel Aiken should know that it will bo many years beforo any political party in South Carolina can take thc place of tho Demo cracy of 1876-tho party that modo him what ho ?sand saved tho State from a con dition worse than death. Ho should have known that in view of tho next campaign, now already opening on every side, this is not tho timo to agitato tho organization of a new party. Thc Democratic party, with nil its faults, is good enough for us. lt has stood thc test of revolution aud served our country in every trying omcrgeuoy of peaco and of war und it will die hard. Wo regret that Col. Aiken wroto this letter. It will bo used against him by his enemies, of whom ho must know he has not u few. It will bo twistod and contorted into n thousand shapes and ho will bo thc suf ferer-his honest sentiments, which wo have n? doubt were spoken with an cyo single to thc good of tho Stato ho has always loved and served so well, will bo used as u club to break his head. Tho News and Cou rier has already suggested that it is a little singular that he should try to break down tho party that put him in office. Coi. Aikcu is evidently infatuated with his new party idea, for in a lotter to tho Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist he harps upon the samo dangerous strain. Tho edi tor of thdc pnpor says "lt reads moro 1 i ko tho lamentations of a political .Jeremiah than the utterances of a statesman." Th ero is intenso feeling against him and many prcdiot that his reelection to Congress, (whioh was generally conceded to bo a settled faot beforo ho began this unreason able agitation), is now almost an impossi bility.
