Every article for tho Or/.kokburo News matt bo accompanied by tho real name of the author??not necessarily for publica tion, bat as ? guarantee of good faith on the part of the writer. Immigration and Minority Repre sentation. Elsewhere in to-days' issue, wo pub lish a communication from an esteemed follow citizen of this County. The questions discussed in it will repay peru sal. Speaking of immigration, our cor respondent says, "No oue who considers the rast acreage of land lying idle in our State, can dony the necessity tor the introduction of honest and indus trious farmers from the North und from Europe. No intelligent citizen of South Carolina would withhold from them the heartiest welcome. We need just such men t? assist us in developing our latent resources, aud making our homes, in crcry respect, pleasant aud happy. Does any one ask what party they will affiliate with when they come here ? He who stoops to consider such questions, allows a narrow, petty spirit of partiznnship to supersede and smother the purer and broader principles of patriotism." If every Democrat iu South Carolina could persuade himself to believe tho truth of the oxlrnct quoted above, our great necessity for immigration of hon sst Northern and European laborers and fsrmcrs, we would soon be a bettor aud a ore prosperous Commonwealth. Os tracisai on sccount of political opinions, bat done more to retard and turn the tide of immigration from our shores, than anything else. This is eminently a fi?0 country, and if a man canuot exer cise freely his political opinions one place, he can in another. Tho North western States have taken advantage of the narrowness of our prejudices, aud treatment toy, ard immigrants - and at>nao quently, derives 50 per -petit oi* the im migration into their owu borders, that, were we liberal, aud offered the same welcome thst they do to strangers, would flow to our shores and settle ?:pon our soil. It is time that this persecution for opinion's sake should be done away with. Let's not be babies any longer. Let us be men, and grapple manfully with the new and live issues of to-day Let this mean, narrow and petty spirit of preju dice, that so terribly corses our land, be hissed and eccrncd down. Let a wider and more Christian like feeling take possession of us. It is time that the love of exploded and obsolete senti ments aud ideas were, in the arcua of the thought of the statesman, discarded. A. new set of politiciaus must, ere long, take possession of nud shape the future destiny of this country. Young, brave and.vigorous thought will assert its inde pendence, aud put to shame the puny snd sickly eentimeuts that the old fogies in the expiring throes of their reign, are trying to indoctrinate iu the- youth of to day. Wo do not agree "vith our correspon dent that thiDgs are worse now ' than iu the beginning of the new regime " We annul toai tnern are inatvtau.it insinnvs of a blacker corruption than was to be sceu then. For this the Repub lican party is not lespousible. There are some black sheep iu every flock, but 'it does not follow that tho whole flock roust be coudemned for the nature of the few bad one3 in it. True, there nro more of them in the Republican party than are to be found in the ranks of any other, but, we are slowly ridding our selves of them. Our correspondent will doubtle.'ft agice with US, that affairs are better now than they were tvo years ago, if he will carefully road hin owu lan guage. Speaking of minority represen tation, he Fays, "Our ucxt ray of hope is to bo found in the prominence which the subject of minority representation baa attained. First agitated by an able and liberal Democrat, it is now endorsed by sueh Republicans a? Scott, Chamberlain and Ransier." Our correspondent 're gards the adoption of this rule ^ e sovereign remedy for tho cure 'of the diseased body politic Now, then, if it his attained a prominence, aud its adop. .'ion would heal all our dissensions, - must be mnking somo stops forward on tho road of prosperity. Minority repre sentation was not talked of amongst Re publicans before this year, much less advocated j then, a fortiori, we claim to> be in a better condition than before, that is, if tho idea of minority -rule bodes any good at all. But thorn ara always Romn fault finders, and if wo woro tho most prospe rous people on God's onrth, they would not admit it, unless they could clnim somo of the authorship of said prosperi ty. With this class, we beliove it would bo unfair to placo our correspondent, Upon the wholo his letter ia a sound and healthy paper, marred only by his apparent fe?ir of beiug adjudged too liberal, eryo, the concluding statemeut that ho is a Democrat. However, our columns shall always ho open to such communications. They are a sure sign of cur progress iu the matter of common sense if nothing else. [communicated.] Sycophants. Editor Orapjt-.bitry New? There is a great thing 1 have seen ; a great evil among men, and J write. It is sycophancy, boot-licking or (awn ing. It is so universal that I have ex claimed in my madness, "All men are sycophants." j There are man who live aud succeed by bold actiou. There are others, and they aro the great mass, who live and suceead by no bold thought, boldly executed, but by a constant, sys tematic, uuwearied course of fawning to the bold aud tho active. They become the hangers-on, tho menials, (he slaves of the bold ones. Their sycophancy is the means of their being employed, and the price of the patiouage they enjoy. Frequently the sycophants are better ioformed, more prudent and cautious than their patrons; and they ore skill ful in their fawning, knowing bow to praise and to flatter This is one, aud tho commonest- phase of sycophancy. But there are others ; not only do the bold and successful secure nrouud them a like coterie of fawners. The old aud antiquated representatives of departed greatness, and of exploded ideas, receive constant tribute of fawning flattery, even from the mcreaafal. It is so sweet to I t4 ?*??r th?r? via -djiHf jyir.rs ii. i m_( deotally better, socially or By positiofTj j and so sweet to receive their notice as the reward for the mean, stooping fawn iug. It is so sw eet thot men tan not resist its indulgence. 'Ihere ore men who really would prefer employing some of these, whom they basely admit to be superiors, to do their business though it would not bo wel done than to employ younger, newer, less-known men who would do their work better. It is 60 sweet to talk with ami walk with these great ones. How impolitic, and bow base the admission of inferiority. 'There are men who will read a book or au ar ticle written by some known person, aud really imagine to enjoy it more than an able hook or article from a uewer pen. The maxim. "It matters not so much what is said, us who says it," is datived from and based upon this menu trait of poor human nature. Aud this maxim is false iu philosophy. A good thing, n true thing, is good and true never mind who says it. Seutimcnts like actions arc good or bad in themselves without re feienoe to who says or does them. Aye ! the notion is carried out by these syco phants They actually get to think that an act is good and all right in one man which would be wrong and crimiual in another. This then is the great evil of sycophancy. Its natural and certain tendency is to tome from praising men to praising sentiments and uctions of ...An AVn nAi??.i t r> in.-to-r* of :>ll things by this false, base test. Syco phnuts ore the worst of meu ! They arc false, they arc treacherous, they arc cowardly. Sycophancy leads to any crime ! Lot a man be imbued with its spirit und let it become the actuating motive of his life, aud he is ready to do anything. He may have generous and uoble aud true instincts, but they arc crushed and trodden down by t Vi it. base vice. He will compromise friends, fam ily, himself to toady to his superiors. In tho first [dace, there in the admi. .-ion of inferiority of hiuisolfhifl BOOS and daugh ters to the great and superior. How base ami unmanly and craven ! He is is ready to lie, to perjuie himself, to for get every holy and right instinct iu his base servitude. I would rather u hun dred times have to deal with the open enemy than with a fricud addicted to this habit. Who can rely upon a sycophant? I olhido to thisj evil, as one so common that it i> not noticed, but bow deadly is it! Let us in our better uiomeuts, cry it down, exposo it, crush it 1 Man in his better nature, must despise its votaries. We all admire the manly Debility of in dependence of thought. Right and wroug are known to all. Lot them UOl be ppr'crtc-d by fhia hideous practica. Oh ! for the manly assertion of equal ity ; the esobewment of base trnckliug ; tho shudder of indignation at the thought of admitting any raan superior, any man's daughters aud sons superior to ours. Equal in manliness, equal in aspiration, equal to tho bestl Let this bo the claim of every man with n man's heart or a man's form. Even Republi canism, though in theory freo irom this business, is perverted in practice by its presence. Free it from this evil, and it will bo better, more potent of good, more dignified and grander. Not only politi cally, but socially, morally, in tho heart, lot only criniiuals fit for tho jail admit any inferiority of thomselves or their own. Let iueu ho men 1 Let tho hisss aud scorn of men attend the sycophant. Saith ; KAGIN. ?-? . I Mill- . - ? ?LI? I [COM MUfUCATKD.] Letter from Goodby'8. (ioohhy's Township, June 20th, 1871 Editor Orangeburg Newa : Various remedies have been proposed to cure tho diseases of our body politic, but so far noue have proved effectual. Physicians have been plentiful, but ei ther the diseare or the patient have been too obstinito to yield to their skill. In stead ol being b' tter, things are actually worse thau iu tho beginning of the rule of the new regime. Rut .-should this tu.iko iu give t?p. and fold our arms in idle aud reckless de spair, as if no ray of hope remain* ? The weak and the puerile tiny find solace in such imbecility, but >he patri ot will nevt r. As it >--. in general life, s.-> it is most especially in politic.*, that the men who follows strictly the path of rectitude, must \rn)i for continual opposition, and sometimes apparent fitiloro. But this is no ennse for despoudoncy. '1 he motto of honesty i.-.. to strike on and f11ike forever in what wo conceive tobe right, though every stroko appear to be without effect. Rut although it is generally eoncoded that vc a7e in a bad condition, is mir condition hopeless? Hy no menus A blighter ray of hope b?.s loomed up he fore us than was c^r witnessed si-nee 18G?. That ray consists iu the pros pects of success for Immigaiatt'vH and Minority Renreandafion. The plans laid fnt tho former* are so gigantic and ingeniously devised, that WC may rervt- mahly look I'm too fruits in |Tim5TElis*'b':i: 11 ts'Wriaie UOtPST,' WBffff reality which promises a rich blessing t?> our country. No one who considers the vast aero age of land lying idle in mir St ate, can deny the necessity for the introduction of honest and industrious farmers from tho North und from Europe. No intel ligent cit'z. ii of Carolina would with hold from thorn the heartiest welcome. Wtf need inst euch men to assist us in developing our latent resoursc. and making our homes in every respect pleasant and happy Does .hit on" ;mk what party they will affiliate with when they come hero ? He who stoops to consider such ques tions, allows a narrow petty spirit of partiznuship to snpercede and Btuother the purer and broader ptine.iplcs of pa triotism '1 he main point to notice is. that the-y are to he made land owners and as Such, it matters little by what name you eell them, they will legislate for the good id'the Stat?- an dun- 1>>>>n>?. Our next ray of hop" is to be found in the prominence which the subject of Minority Representation has attained First ngitated by an able and liberal Democrat, it is now endorsed by auch Republicans as Scott Chamberlain und Hausier. The tax-payors Convention has passed favorably upon the subject and appointed a Committee to l?r;nthe matter to the consideration ofthe l."g. islature Whether this body will view ?t>n di iUhc favorably or not rem tin" to be -c mi It may be well for Republicans to consider whether the adoption of this plan m:.y not be their wisest policy, not only iu restoiiug pear.) and good will to the cummuuity, and thereby relieving them of innumerable temporary emhar ratsmc:ts, but in placing the futnro .-!>?? cess of their party upon it Riiror, and moro enduring basis. It is the nature of majorities to change, and who knows in favoi ef which party the coming tide of immigration will flow. In prosperity the wise will alway? prepare and fortify against adversity. If tho Legislature rejects the propo sition, the dominant party cannot iea sonohly expect different treatment if the scales turn, u I though it is to be hoped that in BUeh an event the genuine, prin ciples of magnanimity will give no place to the mean unchristian spirit of return ing evil for cv'.l. * This subject of minority representa tion has received the attention it de serves iu the State; it now remains for liberal men in the different counties to keep tho ball in motion. Can an;, Olio doubt, its fairness? The injustice of tho rule of bare majorities in so patent, that thinking mind* have long been engaged iu seeking a remedy by which the mi nority may be allowed s proportional share in legislation. The problem has "at last boon solved by tho system of cum ulative voting, which originating in Great Britiun has gained such popula rity in this co*ssii,y n? to bo adopted by tho State of Illinois, aud a town iu Pon sylvanta. To illustrate; if a county should haYO a j voting population of! 1001, 501 of whjmi were Democrats aud 500 Republicans] and four representa tives wqro to ber elected, according to the present majority system, tho 501 Democrats would elect all four represen tatives, and tho?0O Republicans would havo nowoicoV|Jn?tever, aud this affec ted too by a si?^le vote. Who deuieo^that this is monstrous folly and injustice ? Supposing t-Vo eamo ease according to the runiulutivft^pystcm, every V(>te hav ing his same four votes as iu the pres ent system, the; Democrats would havo 2004 votes to east, and the Uepublicaus 2000. 1 f tho Democrats should be so grasping as t? attempt to elect all of their representatives they could give each only 50^votes, and if the Republi cans, taking advantage of tlmlr oppo nents folly, sKouhl attempt to elect thtee, they would give each of the three COG votes, and ths)trby elect them, leaving the Democrat only cue representative elected. Both p-uttjsft would therefore sec, that if they attempt anything beyond their strength, they will be certain to fail, and the dictate of wisdom would be to at tempt onlyw^Wjeovditig to their propor tional fitrenjS?j, and iu the case above cited 'eachTjJarty would attempt nnd elect only (wo represoutalivis, which would be *fcfeir just proportion. Can anything be'more fair, more just, more beau-tiful. J t is almost yet lef t In the apt lauguajjt of Col. Thomas it i - "to tality representation."
