THE OR?NQEB?Efl NEWS J. FELDER MEYERS?EblT?B, ?EOKCSfi ?f-xivt.it, FlIANClAL AND B?StHtM MaHAOCK. SATURDAY, JUNE 17,1871. Every article for the Obanqibobq NkWB must be accompanied by the real taatne of the author-*?not neceisarily for publica tion, but as a guarantee of good faith on the part of the Writer. Young Politicians. We notice that several of oar ex ehabgtt* are advocating the idea of inaugurating an organisation of young men to fight in the future political cam paiguo. This ia a splendid suggestion. One of the chief complaints made ?gainst the Republican party, is that it his not, to a sufficient extent, fostered and encouraged the rising talent withiu its ranks. The foasils endeavored to dictate its policy and monopolize all of its leading positions. And wo do not hesitate to say that many of these old fossils who found their way into the Republican party, directly after the war, were so devoid of political or social character that it was impossible for the good people of the country to regard it with fear. Such men did not desire accessions to the party, of intelligent ?ad reSpectablo white men, because they were fattening upon the spoils of office, -and they wanted no compitition. But ?nany of theso men are out of the way cow, or will be in the next compnign ; they are directing their way back to the obscurity from whence they sprang, with the spoils, they filcheld from an outraged, crushed and helpless people. No party, con hope for continued suc cess which is not constantly replenished with the young and rigorous blood of the country. "Old men for council and young men for war," is an old maxim, and politics in this country is always aggression. Wo want youth und enthusiasm, for without them parti es decay and crumble to pieces. Resides, the old fpstil politicians of this country are so strongly wedded to their grand father's noEibnr, that it would btmlnrost a ?marvel io see them inaugurate one step in the-political arena, which would smack of (ho progress of to-dny. "They .are simply stumbling blocks iu the !.*W?y of the .young,politicians. Some of ?them ore -really antc dcluvian in their ?ideas. "Now talk- of such .men as these conducting a grand and ?progressive, nation like this ! Nut.sense. Retire bo bind the curtain, oTd.gautlcmeu. You tharve done your share in this world. ?Give room now for the young and buoy ant of to-dny. Dont show a dispostion ?of greediness, 'lest you be laughed at ?more "consumcdly" for your blunders .then ever. IDut dot us not*digress on the sins of (Omission or commission, left by our ?grand .fathers upon the unerring sands of time, ever warning us of their folly. Perhaps our childern will be able to find the some fault with our lives.. Per* adventure our sons and daughters will call us?when we arc no longer young, when the frost of many winters shall havo silverd oar locks?wc Bay perad venture, our sons and daughters will ?denominate us miserable old fogies. There's no tolling. This world is u progressive one. Things arc changing daily; and the change really seems for the VTUft -TV" ;-'i<m ? t *? . ?. . " ? ~w ?"* - more refined than when their grand mothers used to sling the pots aud kick the dogs; when they used to go with grand pa to Charleston in a miserable old ricketty wagon, sleep on a bed of straw beside the road at night, cook with water dipped from some babbling stream close by ; or, mayhap, with some gathered from a puddle in the road. In those days, this was splendid living, even to the elite, because nearly every body lived that same way. Now the steam engine takes the ploco of the horse of those days, and the palace cars the stead of the wagons. The girls are more particular and progressive. It is a fact, there is more goa-headativencss about one girl of to-day than there was in forty, of fifty years ago. And then there is a deal more of patincc in them. Our grand mas used to think it troullesome to have to devoto even n minute to the adjustment of their hair. With a catch this way and a twist or two that wsy, they would give it ono In mcndOUfl twirl, fnjdeii it with a tuck. ing comb, and they would be ready for the kitchen, nay, the drawing room. To-day the graud daughters, of one of these same good old grand mas, requires one hour, fifty-five minutes and some odd seconds to fix up her hair, or in fastening securely a large lump of manufactued hair-, yelcped a chignon, to the oack of her head. Now this shows how much tho ladies have progressed in tho matter of patcince alone, not to say a Word of their progression in tho way of finding a new uso lor eriuoiines, chalks, paddings, false hair, and a thous and unmentionables. Man has progersed two. It is hsrd to teil now-a-days when we meet a young lady whom to judge from appor ance, we would call beautiful, whether her beauty is a gift of nature, or tho result of a copious use of the inconceivc able artifices man's ingenuity has in veutcd, to supply deficiency of contour, and so forth. We ??y it is hard to toll. But there is a way. But what an unpardonable digression. Here we commenced writing about young politicians, aud wo have got so faroffthc subjoct as to find ourselves writ ing of young ladies and their chignons. Beg pardon readers. V?Tc will return to the subject with which wo started out, and not sin again by intruding ourselves upon the sanctity of dear, sweet woman's paraphernalia. We said we want youth and enthu siasm in our tanks. Without this our party must go to nothing. Tho old Whig party, the proudest organization^ that ever existed in this or any other country, died a natural death, because it had growu infirm and imbecile from lack of encouragement to tho young. True Republicanism must hold out encour ment to tho young to enter its ranks j it must know that at the time when the passions are strongest, and men arc most ambitious, the desire for favor is greatest, and nominate young, or middle aged men to prominent positions. Young men instinctively know which is the quicker road to preferment, aud before principles arc firmly rooted, and cement ed by experience, they choose that ban ner to fight uuder which promises tne highest reward. The Republicanism we would hold out to the people of South Carolina to day, arc tho doctrines of peace, uuion and prosperity to ?e^ery house in the land. Wc point the young men of this State to the ridiculous failures of the Democratic party, the shoals upon which its policy was wrecked, and the great loss of life aud treasure incident to that terrible disaster. Look at the fate of your fathers, and ask yourselves but one' question?shall you take warning from their -errors and misfortunes, or will you plungo -headlong into the same ruinous aud SJuicirdal paths which they trod ? Wc have a glorious country, worthy of the statcman's holiest ambition, and whose proud banner floats triumphantly over forty millions of the happiest peo ple on earth. Wo ask the young meu" of tho County, then, if they will not step into tho political arena and grasp for distinction ? Wc beg you to come with us, to elevate good men to p'acc and power ; aid us to defeat dishonest men for every position that they have the impudence and audacity to aspire to. Look at the good men we have among us : aud yet wc nre forced to regret to sec, .1:. . ,. ?.>?.,?.1? low brod nnlitir.-il i.-ioohiug and oflice seekers, get into places of hon or and responsibility, while these our best men are kept in fhe rear. Why arc these not brought forward ? Bccnuso they arc young and havo too much modosty to hob and nob hero and there just for ^hc sake of an oflicc. The old brazen politician, whoso brass would prompt him to exclaim to an audience," "I am the mau for the position. 1 have the brain, and if you don't elect such men as L am. your whole party will go to the dogs headforemost," has generally been successful. The man'scheek gets him honored, he gets a position which lie uses for self-aggrandizement, and against the interests of the people.* Now where is the young man who would havo the facj to work his way up to distinction through such a channel ? You can't find him. And yet upon tho strength i power of tho young of the country, ibo Republican party is dependent for its future bucccss. The old fogies in its rnuk8 arc simply carrying it to the devil. Away with them, we say, and let's gjve the propor encouragement to the young of to-day* We Bay to you, young men, that you cab hepo for nothing by hugging dead issues. You can never hope to gain anything by acting with the organization | calling itself the Democratic party. The fact is plain, and stares you in tho face that Democratic doctrines have failed. Tho late "new departure" of that party 1 should convince you, that we arc right, ! and that the Democratic policy is wrong. I AU tt? contend for is that the Union is ono and inseporable ; that tho results of tho war are final and that further resis tance to or abuse of tho government, is totally wrong, and can result in no good. Do you not see the Democrats trying to get on our platform, after years of abuse of our principles ? If we are right now we wcro right ab initio. You can accept the situation now, and help us to reor ganize the Republican party, and fling to tho breeze its uew banner on which will be inscribed, "HONESTY AND INTELLIGENCE, AND OBEDI ENCE TO THE LAWS. ^ Let by-gones bo by-gones ; buckls on the armor of live issues, and bury the old worn out, bloody, ghastly heresies, ?which has strewed the land with graves, murdered your fathers and brothers? jfor nothing. You cannot afford to waste Wour youth and destroy your hopes by clinging to doctrines which keep the peoplo continually in turmoil and strife, destroy trade, keep capital mid enterprise from us, nod bring nothing but disap pointment, trouble and defeat. They talk to you of economy, yet not one single practical illustration of economy has Democratic government ever givon you ; the taxes arc just as high in those States of tho South, over which they rule, as they are in 8outh Carolina, and have to be paid just asoften. Ina word, it costs just as much to lire under Demo cratic government as it does under a Re publican government. Men cannot get employment any quicker under the ad ministration of the former than under that ofthclnttcr. Nothing,absolutely nothing, can be gained by a continued warfare upon us at:d our c:cllmculs. -Now let the yonng Bad-^tttdd-le wged* rucn of the country form themselves iuto one grand Republican organization for the redemption of their mother State fiom ruin nnd misrule, Let this body purge- her of the many corrupt official* j who now disgrace her plttCe* of honor ; and trust. It is a mistaken idea that the Republican party will not ;*uti a man for office except ho is a sworn member of the Union League. It is Union citizens that that party wants now, and not Union Leaguers. This organization, like the old fossil politicians about whom wc set out to write, has served its time amongst men. and must now sink into disuse aud forgctfulncss before the ad vanced enlightenment of to-day. What we want now is intelligent aud honest men for office, who will obey the laws and sco to it that they arc properly exe cuted. Indeed, we regard many of the mcu who have beets considered our op ponents heretofore, as possessing a truer sense of Republicanism, than the one half of the number who make daily boasts of their fealty to its principles. And wo believe that the interests of all classes would be better sustained by the election of such men to office than the bitter and rabid partisan. For instance, we would not hesitate to support such UIUII ut> 04?l?l? --?><.-?. & . 1.1.n iiitu lutiivuiit', I. Browuing, Esq., of this County. These gentlemen have .icvcr affiliated wiih the Republican party, it is true; but wc know enough of their conserva tism to feel warranted in tho assertion, tlint in tho election of such men to the Legislature, all classes would be hotter represented. Wo do not mean to eleel no Republicans at all. We mean that to give the opposite party two such men as these the Republicans would then feel called upon to put forth throo of their very best men. Now wc know that in throwing out these suggestions wc will subject ourselves to the charge of having "gone over." But wc mako this propo sition as a Republican, and for the ulti mate success of all classic. There arc some who will condemn \\s who do not look be yond to-morrow ; w)jo are so blinded by the successes of the past that they cannot regard as they ought to, the dangers of the future. Wo say emphatically that unless the Republican party, hereafter, elect better men to position, it will go to the devil, and that shortly. TV e sincerely trujBwaotin the the" future Orangeburg^qpunty will take core of henelf; that every son of hers will so far forget his*ptejudices as to be prompted to joiu in the graud work of redeeming her credit and her good name. Again wo appeal to the young men of our State and Gottflty to shako off the lethargy which has .kept them at the mercy of a few malcontents, and placed the officials in the hands of a band of ???nmntivn dt mutters. Your old !ca ders have appealed t# the sword in be half of their doctrines, and they are de feated. Have you, then, any hope that human oventa wilhever restore that which went down beneath the smoak and carnage of battle ? Our desire is to secure the pcaoe, happiness and pros- j pcrity of nil the people of South Caro lina. We intend to battle for the suo- j cess of our poople in the pursuits of iu dustry and domestic affairs. We ask the young men to come to our aid, and we will joiu hands in elevating honest, upright, capable men to rule over us in our State?those who lovo the Union and peace. ^ Wo will help you, if you will help us, to drive from our midst every politi cal vulture, whether native or stranger, who dares show his head, and seek to got his claws into the people's money. Young men of Orangeburg County, will you help us, will you assort your manhood, will you stand by us in our efforts to elevate honest men into the offices of the country? With your uni ted aid and strength we can do it. Shnke off, then, yoiir modesty and come j out and work like a Trojan for your mother State. She needs your help j sadly. Shall she look for it in vain; Shall she be disappointed. Must she again suffer from your stubbornness? 1 We ask, must she ? I The Peoples ("Georgia.) Dcnfcndcr,\ published at Ncwnan Georgia, in speak ing of the "new departure" of the De mocracy says: "Though *.ro do not olivet to aeco?n piish anything except ,tbe defining of' our own pcj\^o^fvK>s"iti<j.i?wo must em phatically ?eerrwjT to to led* by'^iir* Adams, Mr. Vnlbuulighntn, or any other! new light iVotin tho old course of tho democratic bark.?If there is anything in \ democracy thai promisea the redemption of this country from misrule ami the restoration ot her constitution to its primeYal glory, it is not to be found in I democracy which proposes to accept, as ! irrevocable, wrong, which sh ?uhl at. ! may be corrected. Impatience for ofllec ' and ?p.c?ils ;::oy lead seme to abandon principle, bu' wc entertain no fa'.th in 1 the political integrity of such characters J as these. Wc shall therefore run the \ old schedule even if wc run it alone? ' believing it more honorable to cling to principles and politics, right in them- ! selves?than to forget or abandon them under the pressure of a supposed expe diency which means "sjwiis." Kgad ! that's plain talk. Go it alom . That's right. Defender, stick to the old schedule and Jefferson Davis, and you're sure to win in tho long run. You're right; we applaud your reverence of the primeval glory of the constitution ; we arc justly iudignant ourselvo; at tho way Adams and Valandighain are trying to humbug this nation ; Jeff Davis 3ays nothing but cowards would accept their platform ; and upon the winde, we can but repoat, that this Defender newspa per has a right to quairel. It has our sympathy in its "go it- alona schedule." It and Mr. Davis will have a fine time of it. Nobody will ever iuterfero with t h o j r schedule, we assure tlictn. They can nsu 't until they run down to their graves iu peace, ip filence, uncared foi and unwept; and no one will get jealous of them, either, or try to interfere iu their free exercise of their constitutional right. These men have a right to talk, and we glory in their plu^k. [CO M M L' NIC A T KI? ] Minority Representation, Mr. Editor?Minority representation seems to have taken with sonic folks in this State. I would ask the use of a line or too in your journal to make a sug gestion. I propose that we have a eorf VCntion, and alter the constitution, so as to allow tho minority a representation. And iu order to maku this available, let this Convention tesolvc that hence forth the 'minority shnll be deemed the majority; that the candidate getting tho least number of votes shall always he declared elected. There is no doubt that, (he colored majority would l>< wil ^- - ? -..-I-.---- nf--, 11 Hug?nay, eager for that t And this would bo carrying out the idea. And let this theory pervade the entire system of elections. If the majority of tho grr.ud jury say a man shall be tried for a crime; let him be discharged. Ina word, whenever and wherever and however a man is not elected let him be declared elected. I am conscious ol the grandeur of my preposition, but I am modest. Let it go lorth to the State aud to the wor d ; let it attract universal praiac and wonder; let it benefit and bless its mil lions ; let it revolutionize governments ; and let its great principb be emblazoned iu letters of gold from which shall seem to drip the tears of joy of the mighty nations ; let it be immortal and when men shall ask who were the great inven tion*, and discoverers let them be told after this manner : Of America, Colum bus; of a star, H?rschel; of priuting, Guileuburg; of steam, Watts; of the telegraph, Franklin ; of gravitation, Newton; of tho minority rule, KAG IN.
