HOW TO UIMN 1ST?. True Courue of the Democracy In the Pr?sent Cr?ela or the Country-The Constitution aalt Ie-'A Letter from John Qui it ey Adams. The following letter from John Quincy Adams, late the Democratic candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, to a citizen of Missouri, has been given to the world through thc columns of tho St. Louis Republican : Qcixcr, May 6,1871. A. Warren Kchry, Esq. : DEAR SIR-I have the honor to ac know ?edge thc receipt of a comtinnica tion trout you enclosing two extracts from newspapers upon which you request juy criticism; and I infer from your let? ter that you wi?h to learn mv opinion upon the public questions discussed in those articles. . . You are quite welcome to know them, if you arcj willing to accept them as simply thc speculation of an individual. I represent nobody,, and do not boast a follower in the world; nor do I know that my notions are shared by any con? siderable portion of any part. Thc people of thc United States feel instinctively that they are going wrong, but they are told that it will bc danger* our to retrace their steps. Tiley know that the path upon which they have entered is beset with pitfalls; but even a bad pass is better than the precipice. The sweep ot reaction is stayed by :he dread of revolution. The policy of shrewd Democrats, and the duty of good citizens, is to dispel this apprehension, no matter how foolish it may seem to them. Short of honor and good faith, no sacrifice should be deemed severe which would suffice to lay that haunt? ing spectre. For that reason I deplore thc halting, hesitating step with which the Democracy is sneaking np to its in? evitable position. For this cause I share your regret at the studious ambiguity which seems to search for a saliyport through which to dodge its destiny. And while I better like the spirit, I equally condemn the polisy ot those who only proclaimed their purpose ol revolution. Such indications of sentiment annoy me, simply becansc they prolong a situation fraught with great, danger to the dearest iotercsts of us ali. The dominant party can retain a pawer which has grown too great for the public welfare only by an indefinite exteustension of thc moral conditions of the civil war. The Republican or grinizition cao rally to uo cry buta slogan and conquer under no srandard but a spear. *Tiiu? party needs strife to insure its succe-a but good feeling is ncc*.- -?try for good government, N i.v. the hostility to the fifteenth nu;- v.'m^nt j? the stock in trade of the ft.jyt ntcrs of strife; is it worth gratify i ._: ..i the risk ol permaueut subjection? "t : -. Sooth is gail* J to day nut by the nee ?f that ..mcoduietit to the cons titutioo, but by the utter ab-ttuco ol the constitution ilevlf. They feel a Con? gress which assaults theui, but they find no on&itaiion to protect them. ls it not silly, io squabble a?out an amend mei;! which would cear.e to bc obnox? ious if it was not detached fccUn its con? text ? It is quibbling upon a technicality of law and relinquishing the subrtanee of liberty. The constitution was struck d'i\v:i by the assult opon .Sumter; and ali constitutions must ocCcasarilfy fall be? fore the lac? of the supreme arbitrament ol war. lt eau never be lifted jp while war is'flagrant. Th j people wi ii never rc.-L-n thc attitude of hostile vigilance, which is thc real significance of the inscnt administration, uutil they know that no one of their war trophies is longer disputed. Then they will gladly resume the habits which they love and the good uature which they repress. What, then, i? thc meaning of the gro? tesque contortions ot tho.?? who profess a fondness Lr camels and yet strain so fantastically at this gnat'? fur the cs fencc of all democracy is equal.ry nothing but the equality oi all men before the law- equal and exact yestice to every man, and each to share in the government of all. That is the only genuine Democratic doctrine. But wno dart? lacean intelligent people, with that testimony upon his lips, amitle nounce a measure which is too Demo? cratic for Democrats, only because the enfranchised are blacks? . Surely, the Northers Demoe?af.y should not be forced into f*&3$ stupidities by the coa &ci< ntious " Stromes of their Southern brethren. DrTefence is doubtless due to their constitutional qualms, and yet some leutty towards revolutionary pro? '?5?*c- ut' amendment mightfte reason y expected from ?supporter* of seces sion. If we can condoue the fault, is it too much to ask paroled prison ess of war to pardon it? .Nu ! You have givea oar ery "Uni? versa"! amnesty ?nd universal suffrage." I would only add. the constitutional I'tinn of the Suica. For the old Con? stitution ia just aa good as ever it was fer South as well a* North, in spite of thc marks of the mailed band which must remain upon it fur a warning to; those that come alter us. There is nothing ie it now which ia not perfectly compatible with the happiness, welfare And liberty- of al! thc peopla of all the States. lt Ls only the administration that is at fault, it is ,he interpretation which is violent. Do you imagine that' Thomas Jefferson, do )t?u .limit. t?viV Jai..p? .Madison, wuuid say f:hetr"o-?n\ organic frame permita a protective tariff or paper money; authorizes national b?t?tes or Fre?idt>?ti?! diplomacy; coua . ten uces? military tribunal?' ctnfralisa ^f^tiotj, and the t-rownittg and perfeot in 'V*aniy-?>f i he Ku K?us bill.

We are pleased to notice the distin? guished consideration accorded our former immediate fellow-citizen, Gen. R. H. ANDERSON, by the citizens of the city of Charleston. Th? city papers of Saturday lust contain a nomination of the General for the oifice of Mayor, to which is appended nearly one thou? sand names of leading and respectable citizens. He responds in the good taste, modesty and conservatism, which are his characteristics. Expresses "deep and "sincere gratification ai the kind and "friendly confidence exhibited," but re? quests that his nomination be not pressed, "if any arrangement can be " made by which a heated political con " test may be avoided, and all goo l " citizens be brought into earnest and "harmonious co operation fo? the re "establishment and preservation "amongst us ot good order and pros " perity." He approves the proposition made by the Daily JinpuLlican for "a division of the city offices,'7 and con . scots that his "name may be tased in " any way that may seem favorable to "sacha consummation." SES. .HAKE A NOTE OF IT?

We have beeu permitted to tai? tbe following extraet from a letter written by a'highly intelligent eitixen of Co? lumbia (in no way connected with the Radical party) to one of tbe leading citizens of Sumter County : ****** "Our Convention of Tax payers has met and adjourned. I think its influ? ence will be for good. The members discovered what I have long known, that, bad as our affairs are, they are not so bad as was represented.

Tc an outsider it would seem that a j "Tat Payer" would make people believe j that our Intendant had appropriated, other people's funds to his own private aggrandisement. Yet this looks like a strange thing to make people believe. It is the Treasurer who* keeps the funds, not the Intendant-and he (the Treas? j urer) has published a statement of all ; the receipts and disbursements, and if any thing was wrong, any body, much, less the astute "Tax Payer," could easily sho'w it from th? figures. But it is the Intendant they are aftet, not the funds or the Treasurer. Poor. Intendant, he has given his services gratuituosly for j low these many years, and DOW he is to get no thanks, if "Tax Payer" is to have his way. It really does not look as if j he has ased much funds from any j source. So far as we know, be has paid all of his just debts and never kept any of j his creditors or friends out of their dues ; not even by taking the bankrupt act and settling with them all at 15 cents in the dollar, or by a "polite little notice" which his of late become very familiar ] to some of our people. And notwith? standing he seems to do such a large] business, and is a mao of so much business fcaet and energy, still it seems to take all he can make to clothe and feed himself and little family and that barely decently. He has made no splurge out aa some others have. He rides in and owns no :8ft carriages or buggies-has neither built nor bought any fine house. Surely if he had been using other people's funds, he would or might have followed suit in these evidences of] extraordinary thrift. But wc find him the same hard working, modest and poor man to day that we saw him years ago. Such a man been squandering other people's money ? We cant believe it-who can ? A LOOKER OX. [COMMUNICATED. WHAT'S THE ROW f What's all this fuss about ? Somebody is Intendant, and the town is entitled to an Intendant, so where's the hr.rm, and what's the racket ? is the new street laid off in the wrong direction, or does it carry trade wbere some folks don't get it, or ia a lone Irishman walking the street, with a modest bit sf a shilialy, and behaving himself like a gintleinao, as he is, enough to stir the bile of Cassius and excite thc pent up wrath of Caesar ? Cease firing, Trieuds, and in? dulge freely in soda. The weather ia horribly bot and the town is horribly dull, but we dont want a fuis about, nothing at all, at all. The Ku Klux ? may show at Mauuieg and in upper | Sumter, but if they bear the sound of this battle, they may visit this place, and soon decide "who'll be Kins" in Sumter. So stop thc fuss at once, and stop the press long enough to get thin in, for the PUBLIC GOOD. 31 BETING OF LOT HOLDERS OF SE.? ff EB CEUETEttY ASSOCIA' Heft Io pursuance of published notice, a meeting of Lot Holders of the Sumter Cemetery Association, was held this day, in Council Chamber.

Various charges of a similar character have been tuade against them in tho Agricultural Journals in reference to which thc editor of the Rural Carolinian for-Oct., 1870, says : '"For the credit of thc press we should be glad to believe them (tho charges) grouudlcss, bot till we are satisfied they arc so, we beg our readers to consider any favorable notice we may have made of their journal (Special Puffer) as withdrawn."
