THE ORANGEB?RG NEWS SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, I860. MALCOLM I. BROWNING, Editor. The Responsibility of the Press. " ?t^V ? ? ? v. Tho. Press is either tho lender or tho follower of public opinion. It is either the sentinel on tho bulwark of liberty, and of the public good, on the aui vice, for tho approach of uny invasion or in v #KfeVSt?on upon the cause of truth und right, wurniug of tho approach of dan ger and pointing fearlessly to the cause JNhsoce the danger cotneth, and to its f/eveotive or remedy, or else it is tho index or exponent of public opiuion, "following the multitude to do evil" or well, it is the mere expression of the .public mind, tho weather cock that tells how publie sentiment bloweth ! In the former of these attitudes, tho -Stress appreciates the nobility of its i&tissioh, and if conducted with ability, is ?4he mighty safcty-valvo of liberty, of ??tia?Yality, of law, and order and progres -.ion; It is the mightiest propagator of education, the mightiest influence of civ ilization. . In the latter position, this grand influ ence for good is prostituted, unmindful of its high purpose and mission, prrstitutcd into a machine to reflect public opinion as it is, changeable and often wrong. Looking at the Press iu the State, with these preparatory ideas of its mis sion and duty, it is a study of much in terest to the moralist, to notice the va riety of their shades, as the different papers in the State verge to one or the other of these points. Tho muss of these papers arc of course, Democratic; a respectable mi nority arc Conservative or medial, thicc or four arc Radical. Now, of tho Democratic papers, it is a palpable fact, that while one or two of them are loaders, the groat mass of them are simply followers of public opinion. Tho few out-and-out Radical papers represent only that extreme party which now, managed by adroit manipulation of the ignorant, masses, dominates in the 8Ute. - Of the Conservative papers- there is _ also a sub-division, some of them, unable to subscribe to the programme of cor ruption, which would use the present ; state oi parties in the South, for person ? al aggrandizement, but seeing that the great question of difference between tho Democratic ami Republican partics'atthe South have been irrevocably settled iu favor of the Republican party, would ac cept these as accomplished facts, and though, nt variance with every habit of thought and prejudice, still would admit them and endeavor to tna^c the best of them ; others of the Conservative Press, are really Republican, and though op posed to the corrupt representatives of this party who have overrun the South, and who occupy her high places, dis gracing rather kt'uUU representing their party, still believe that the platform of the Republican party is in accordance with the spirit of the ago, und represents an "immense concentration of i?owcr and an irresistible sweep of authority," which, "if wisely and virtuously admin istered," would exert its mighty influ ence for good. The quotations above are from the Winnsboro AW*. The jVetcs says: "It is a fixed fact that we have now a gov ernment both State and National of the majority, whose will is law, and our ef forts will be to make that majority as wise and virtuous as passible." ? We contend that this course is the most independent and conscientious that the Press can pursue. That this is lead ing public opinion in the right path. That time is worse than wasted, which is spent in abuse of the corrupt adventu rers who disgrace the name of man, who rule us and represent us. We have oft repeated, that time is worse than wasted which is spent in supine regret of the change in our condition ; and that time is worse than wasted which is spent by the Press in toadying to that old Demo cratic habit of thought and expres sion, which tickles and tallies with our tastes and wishes, but which deludes to disappoint, and amuses to prevcut our doing what is onr incumbent duty. An et lightened and independent Press, has oft-times steered public opin ion from shoals where the ship of State was being driven to bo wrecked. A Press realizing the dignity of its mission instead of reflecting tho publio mind us it is, would "hold as it wero, the mirror up" to what it should bo. Tho organ of no party, but the orgau of the right, its warning uotos of dauger and its clarion peals of duty, ever the voico of wisdom und of truth. Not the record of a poo pie's errors, but tho mouitor to point them ever aloug the path of duty to the goal of safety. This standard for the Press may be Utopian and unattainable, but it can bo aimed at, it can be approximated as ncfir as human effort attaius perfootion. We kuow too well, that to be popular u paper must take the popular side, must say popular things; but such a course is gainiug popularity at tuo expenso of its own self-respect?tho prico of this popu larity is the sacrifice of its high object and mission. For us, realizing our responsibility, aud knowing our duty, we asaumo and dare to perform thorn. Could we recall the pRst, reverse the unrolling ot time's panoramic sheet, and fold away what has been rovoalcd, could tho past before thu angry war of revolu tion had howled over the broad earth and left our social, agricultural t?A po litical storwt, a beauteous ruin, bright in in its memorial beauty and destined to stand in history's archieves 'till the records of our existence shall ail have been obliterated, inscribed, " Posterit?t but doomed never to rc live amid the "things of lifo" again, could wc recall tho past, wc would not. A hand mightier than man's is rolling out their .successive phases in our des tiucd course. With all but its grand lessons and its glorious associations, wc have done with the past! Turn wc, turn we to our duty now, as it has left us. Results, not of our accomplishment, nay ! against which we joined with this great people in contending are upon us. To do our duty under their existence, and to leave them with thoir cause, is our part. Let us act it! Who would say, "Lot us mourn forever over our late." Is he a man who would give up, aud cease to hope, bocause this Union is preserved and his slaves arc free, and vote? No! take these as given the data of our position, and still maintain the prestige of our race aud people. High lime it is, that our people were awake to these facts and their duty un der thctn. Let tho colored man vote. Let him understand that you acknowl edge and would defend his right to vote aud he will vote as you advise him, will vote for the honest aud intelligent of our race. This is your duty to your State under her existing political circumstances. As a civilized and a Christian people we owo other duties to the colored race, which we must meet. For our Hikes as well as their own, they ought to be educated. If Democrats go to the Legis lature and oppose or ignore this duty, we say emphatically they should not go there. If the Christian Church neglects this matter she fails miserably in her duty iu our new position. To talk about antagonism between the two races is small, is insignificantly siflall. Wo owe these poople, iu thoir new relation to ourselves and to the States, duties as citizens and as Christian pcoploj which wc cannot evade."" The ac complishment of those things the Re publican platform iu its purity insists upon nnd ii accomplishing. We dare not opposo a work of the graudest hu manity and heaven-born charily, because wo fear social equality and raiscegeua tiou. Thoso things exist only iu the lowest and the wildest fancies. Such small pretexts will not excuso us from the duty wc owe to our grand old mother in tint her hour of extreme need aud danger. She expects her sons to do their duty now I In her history of these strange times, that Democratic mass will be mentioned as a mass, who clung fondly to a past which, perhaps, themselves failed to redeem when it could have been rodeomcd, and who, when other duties were before thctn, stood mute, transfixed, pointing to its faded scenery, tinted with the "moonlight of memory," aud weeping at its loss, passed away ! Whilo the few, who dare to meet the majesty of tho present, iu its gorgeous sunlight of reality, aud to discharge its pressing duties, shall stand out in bold relief, out from the back-groudd of fad ing romance, out in tho boldness of the real profile of duty. And while our State looks to her sons to do their duty now, will she not, pointing to those of her children, who did their duty iu her present need, "and who stood by her in her new and strungo position, any of them: ''These are my jewels." Uudor a seuse ofjour responsibility, these, Caro linians, are our views of our position and our duties under our circumstances ! - i?m. Tho ?hnrlet?ton Daily News on the Com promise Of Parties. The Charleston Daily News has an editorial article in its issue of Tuesday, 25tb instant, headed, "Tho Proposed Third Party," which is chiefly in reply to our leader of last weuk, on "Now Parties." The A'. n:< agrees with us as to a com promise, but says that our idcaol a uiiiou between the respectable men of both parties iu the State upon the basis of tho success and irroprcssiblc power of the Rcpublicuu party, "is shrewdly con ceived, but Mahomet must como to the mountain, for the mountain will not go to Mahomet." Now the quest i.m is which is Mahomet und which the mountain. Truly the Democratic party, with its superstitious devotion to faded hopes and protest against settled issues, is well typified by the great Father of pagan superstition: while the Republican party, tho embodiment of ideas which govern the world, the great lever of political progress, may woll be compared to the mountain whose mighty I shadow stretches over this vast conti nent, and towers above its pigmy oppo nents. The News says that the colored voters of the State will never vote with this Conservative party, we ask whether they will over vote a Democratic Ticket. They have already throughout the State iu the Township elections, united with tltc whites in electing a compromise tick et. The rcspcctablo colored men are alike disgusted with Radical corrup tion and deception, but to Republican triumphs they owe the priceless boons of their freedom and their suffrage. Will they, we ask, ever vote with n parly whose prejudices arc opposed to both these bonus, and who sec in the delusive prospective of their own wishes the time when they shall be deprived of them. No! a compromise upon this Repub lican basis is rhe only feasible and hope ful one. Such a compromise is no "shrewdly conceived" idea of ours, but its experiment has been n success in Vir ginia, iu Tennessee ami it is the ruling party in North Carolina and Mississippi. The Aews asks us "to pause and think what this name, Republicanism, means in the ears of every Carolinian." It is, it nays, ''identified with every insult put upon our people by tvo mailed band of authority ; with every ,*roug we have been forced to endure ; witu our every disappointed hope ; with every blackened home, and devastated field; with every sorrowing daughter and every martyred son." Here our contemporary mistakes parties again. It is our Democratic resist ance to an irresistible fate that is identi fied with our inolaucholy defeut and its train of disasters and humiliation. To this old party, with its Quixotic valor and delusive hopes, do we owe all our losses, our ruins, our graves. The JYfficsasks us to leave our position, nnd ally with the party, whose prestige is fuilure, and whose fate is disappointment. No ! the reaction, in the minds of our people, after the woful and complete overthrow of the Democratic party, last fall, was too deep to be removed by this the "old story" of its supporters. With all charity for the Charleston News, we see uo hope for its cherished party. Wc sec no hope for the redemp tion of our State from tho vuudul horde who prey upoujicr heart, by Democratic effort. This Union-loving American people will fight, will legislate down this party again, the colored people will as ri solid unit oppose it. It cannot live again in the South. We say uguiti, the Conservative Re publican party has redeemed our sister States, nnd supported by her gallant sous, who owe this duty to their stricken mother, this party can redeem South Carolina. Tho yarn dyers of Glasgow have locked out lOOU men. [COMMUNICATED.] . 11 Kit hon Township, August 23, 18G9. Mr. Editor?T have noticed the ar ticle from tu? pen of T. J. Maokey, one of the Aldermen of the City of Charles ton, exposing the rascalities of one Bow en, Radical member elect from Charles ton to the House of Representatives iu Congress. He must oertaiuly be a sweet scented morsel, and bow be cnu f.tce, or sit in Council v. ith houest men, seems strange to a man raised in the country. Rut Mr. Editor, take all of these fellows, with few exceptions, that fill our offices of trust and honor, and bow far behind Bowco will .you find them? Who are they, and ajMre did they come from ? Have thoj^Hfrtcd their homos for tin good of thajjnomcs ? There is another thing that looks strange to a man raised in tho count i y, and that is this, that eleven out of twelvo of these fellows haVo lived to tho age of thirty years and over, in Ohio, Massachusetts and else where, enlightened and progressive States, where thoy say a poor man has the same chance for a living as the rich, and they come to poor down-trodden, bankrupt South Carolina to put something iu their pockets. Lived thirty years at home, if they had one, and "nary red" in bank, ai nt worth ad?n. Fellows who could not have been elected figure head to a night cart at home, coming down here and going to Congress, and prefixing Hon. before their heretofore obsolete signatures. What have they been doing, Mr. Editor, lo, all these thirty years and over, that they could not afford to bring a trunk dowu with them, nothing but a carpet-bag, and as tho little boy says, "uuffiii in it." Who is this Mr. llnge? we ask youj sir, "Whar did you cum from, knock a nigger down." He luiscer lainly knocked the nigger down, but where did he come from ? How much bank stock and lauded estate has he at home? Has ho bcctf all his life a philanthropist ? Who is ?t that can say anything good of him, or where is tho ninu that lyis made his acquaintance in Orangeburg County, which he represents? lie was here once, I heard, (a guest of O. W. Stur geon, the defaulting Revenue Assessor, aud leader ol tho Radical party iu (>rangcburg County, whose honctty 1 may speak of in a future letter, and made u speech to the colored peoplo telling them that there was no dependence to be put iu the people with whom thoy wer : raised, and that he had fought, bleed ami didn't die fbr thotn, that if they did not keep the Southern people tlmmx the re sult wouldjffo they would awake some morning i^tr find thenisolves bark in slavery, etc., etc. With such slang, froh from Ohio, he hood winked these poor creatures, hero and elsewhere, and was then beaten iu the race by a (dear tw<> thousand majority against him. Ii' this fellow ought not to drop the letter e from his name and write himself down hog. there is no pork for my shilling. He is also, like some others of the same stripe, Mr. Editor, in for all he can get. I thought when ho got seated iu Con gross, he would resign the office of Asso ciate Judge of the Supreme Court of South Carolina, which he bad filled with so much dignity and honor, &c., (overthe left.) Such has not been the case, how ever proving his breed, he will follow the root as long as there is a bit left. Well, now Mr. Rditnr, WO must see to it. that creatures of this stripe are not re-elected. Does he own a dollars worth of property in South Carolina, or does he ever ex pect to? 1 answer nay. There are a few others that will bo left out in the cold at our next general election. 1 have not a word to say against any Northern man who makes his home among us fur the good ot the State. There arc sever..l such now filling office. But you will find these more or less Conservative, they arc willing for the native-born to have a say-so in the gov ernment of the State. The others are hungry, political adveuturers, purely radical, aud go iu for the whole lutj. hair aud all. They have shown their hand?all black cards. The same hand was shown iu Virginia and Tennessee, and )oti see the result. The same baud is being shown iu Mississippi, and a complete victory lor the Conservative liej ubliean party, headed by Judge Dent, will be the consequence. We have got these fellows on the hip, Mr. Editor--throw them wc uiust. South Carolina has groaned long enough under the scum spewed from Northern sinks of iniquity, Such chaps as Roweu & Co., must re turn to their wallow. You will hear from me again Mr. Editor. Yours, A Miss Hill, niece of General A. [\ Hill, of Virginia, was accidentally shot and killed by her brother-in-law, Mr. G. W. Skinner, at his residence, iu Wash illgton County, Ala., a few evenings ago. Mr. Skinner was about to leave the house to spend tho night with u sick neighbor, aud was engaged in recapping his loaded pistol, when one of uho barrels exploded, and tho ball from it ontered the side of the unfortunate lady, killing her in stantly.
