Every nrtiele for tbe Orakorbvro News mutt be accompanied by the rent nnrae of the author-not neccssa?Uy for publica tion, but a guarantee of good faith on tbe ?art of the writer. The Tones of the 28th ult. used in its celebrated "War Grumble," tho fol lowing language : "If thoro is nny chance (of war) tec do not see why the South slutuld grieve." Upon which tho News of tho 2d inst. remarked, that it appeared there from that the Democratic party of the South entertained toward the United States this feeling : "That tho South should find no reason for grief in the prospect that our gov ernment may become involved iu foreign War." The same "Grumble" contained the following language : "If England be the contestant AVK need NOT be OVER ANXIOUS that key success in crippling Uncle Sam should he speedy, provided she do Ed EVEN tually succeed." Upon which wc remarked also on the 2d instant that the Southern Democratic feeling apparent therefrom was, "That in the case of a war between tin United States and England, the South need ONLY be ANXIOUS?not that the war Ehould not be protracted, bloody aud Cruel, but?that England should EVEN tually succeed." "We gave the Time/ article entire and then gave our construction of it. Whether our construction was unwar ranted we leave willingly to the public. Wc concluded our remarks ou the same occasion by saying : "If this is only Times Democracy let the other Democratic journals say so 1" Well, we haven't as yet heard u single ? word from any other Democratic paper indicating non-concurrence with the Times. Bu$ we find in the TO**** ?r i wc hope that excellent journal will not consider accuracy of dato as a crime against good taste, or as impugning its ' briskness in any degree,) this further language upon the sanio famous "Grum ble" and our remarks thercaucut: ' "We also say 'let all men who love thoir country ponder well this language' of ours. Let them, iu doing so, not mis take their love of self for love of country ii ?but remember that the unpatriotic conduct, the selfish malignant treatment by the North of the 'South' has des troyed Southern interest in tho present dynasty at Washington, D. C, except such as is aroused by the application of its power to grind us in the dust. This is the natural result of the 'cowardly tyranny.' This is all that we intended to say. It i3 all that we hnvo said" Now wc are very glad to be Informed 'that, after all, tho feeling of the Times amounts merely to a want of interest iu tho "present dynasty at Washington, D. C." and that it entertains no desire : whatevor for Englands "eventual suc cess" in caso of war. Tho thrill of . joy which is sure to pervade every limb ; of our national government upon learn ing that the Times will be merely neu tral while old England is pounding sway at us, is something delightful to reflect upon. If wc could ouly be satis . ficd of the equally patriotic conduct of tho other Democratic papors our cup of human delights would be full, and wo couid listen to a nunc dimittis with the supremest satisfaction. Wc could then ask of the gods but one last boon ere quitting this"mortial walo," ?that our receding vision might behold, in a not too remoto distance, the Timer, nnd its brothers joiuiog, with full chorus and from their honrts of hearts, in the loyal strain (but apostrophizing Atnorica instead of Urittannia) of the uo> 1 ; English poet 5 nd patriot of old, I ?>Kngbind, with all thy fault?, I lo"c thee still!" ?- ? ?-? tan - Straw, Republican, bus beon elected Governor of New Hampshire by a hand some majority, Last your that State was Dcmooratio, and in tho Campaign just closed all tho State patronugc was of course used for tho Democratic ticket. But Straw and Gruut were on tho right sido, ?nd so Straw carried tho day. Straws show which way the wind blows. The 7\'met asks whether the News is too illiberal to "entertain a move" to stop some "brutality" of which the first named journal complains in general terms. We reply with pleasure that the News has not countenanced, does not counteuance and never.will countenance, brutality in any form whatever, and that it will never fail properly to support any proper measure to suppress, prevent or punish any brutality, oppression or ill treatment of any human being whatever, whoilier he or she be white or black, or of any other color whereof the optics of men do or do not take cognizance And now to wind up any loose ends of argument which may exist after our. dis cussion with the Times. The News courteously, calmly and in language which we thought well calcu lated (and which we certainly intended) to develop a frank, fair aud courteous argument upon mnttcrs touching vital interests of all classes of our citizens most nearly, asked why, in certain mo mentous crises, there was no coalition of parties here at the South. To this query tho Times replied in effect that the Democrats cannot unite with Repub licans because the latter are, most of them, thieves, and that the Republicans will not unito with the Democrats, al though they have been offered excellent opp?rt unities to do so. At this point we endeavored to show that thoro aro really no livo issues of any sort or cha aetcr which are distinctively Democrat ic, that (he Democratic p%r'y had, in fuct, abandoned all active hostility to tho genuine principles of Republicanism, and that the only objection which could at this day bo either practically or wisely urged against the Republican party is the corruption which to a cor taiu degree docs unfortunately exist iu its ranks. Aud this last position is, iu fact, admitted, adopted aud acted upon by the Democratic press generally else where through the country. We then showed that the colored peo ple, as every one hero must know, wdl not aud cannot be prevailed upon to, act with any political party professing prin ciples antagonistic to those under which they enjoy, and aro assured iu the continued cujnjrment of. certain rights and privileges which they uaturally and properly prize above everything else. And then, to give tho Times a fair op portunity to present the enndid and well intentioned Democrats of this county in as kiud and conciliatory a light us possi ble before that large majority of our citizens who are of the class nnd color already indicated, wo asked tho Times the plain question whether Democrats arc, indeed, opposed to Republican principles. Now it does seom to us that if the Times, speaking for tho w calthy, land holding, and in many ways powerful class it represents, had replied readily to us "No, we are not opposed to the broad and truo principles of genuine Republican ism. Wo aro willing to uuite with you in guaranteeing and scouring forever to nil of our oituons thoso simple and nat ural rights which thoy now enjoy. Rut wo are and always shall be bittet ly op posed to corruption and oppression iu my form or from any quarter what ever :V?bad the Times so answered us, we say, wo believe it would have done wisely aud well for itself, for its friends uid for all tho best interests of the eounty. It was not necessary for it to nlly itself actively with a party \fbose name must Certainly sti'l awaken many unpleasant memories to Southern men of the olden school. It need have tukeu no step unworthy of bravo men who fought so long as thcro was ait her sense or use in tightiug, and it might with both sense aud uso havo as freely continued to light against oorruptiou und wrong whenever or by whomever committed ; ? and against whiub every true Rcpulican is as strongly bound, aud as resolutely determined to raise hi < hand as any other truo man is or can bo. Such a reply would have injured none, would have conciliated many, and would nave fosterod, instead of discouraging, a growing feeling (whose indications we had already remarkod with pleasured of forbouranee, oontidenco and good-wil4 b twoeu the white aud colored i(izeu-,? of this county. Rut tho Times has pursued a very different course, and one which we sin cerely regret. For if the Democrats arc, indeed, opposed, *'to th<; huufU ?.uro" to those humane aud ultuoat uu.vcrsu.ly admitted principles of Republicanism which aro founded in equal rights for all men, then, indeed, must Republicans stand well aud faithfully by their guns, and if the order is "put none but Americans ou guard to oigbt," tho necessity of the case will be, in politics us in war, not only an excuse but a good uud sufficient reason for putting "ou guard" some who, in times of peace, would perhaps occupy "under guard" a moro appropriate though even less comfortable position. Such necessities are recognized iu the bitter world of fact by both generals uud statesmen. It behooves all men to avoid such necessities. lint if, in replyiug to our question, "To which of the principles of Repub licanism is Democracy opposed t" tho Times, when it answers that it objects to 'specious legislation, to corruption, to uon representation of white men, uud to burdensome taxation, amounting to rob bery," intends that the rulo "cxprtssio uniun exclunio est altcrius, shall apply, ?and that it objects to Republicanism on those grounds only, then wc have, to say that, as a fact, not one of thest crimes is tho legitimate result of any Republican principle, and that the Timm, debarred houceibrih by the logi cal force of its own admission from op posing the true principles of genuine Republicanism, must hereafter confine its attacks to those objective points ol corruption, bad legislation and other evils, which are common to all parties ; and in which attacks the Or.VNOEUUR?

The members now go home to their constituents, where, wo trust, for the good of the State aud the party, many of them will be allowed to remain. Wesley once said, that '"Many a good farmer, or mechanic, bad been spoilt- I to make u poor preacher." There is but little doubt in the minds of many who have witnessed the remark able gyrations of some of the mctubers of the General Assembly, that many a good harlequin has been spoiled to make a very poor legislator. We have this to say to tho Republi can party of this State: If there is not a change for the better in the next Leg islnturo, theu God help tho State. We intend, that s'< far us we are concerned, no effort will be spared on our part to socure this change. Let the people look to the matter at once.? Columbia f'uion March I t. Good !?and the orangen uro news will help in the work as long as there is a drop of printers ink iu the State. The Kcal Centralization. It is a statement frequently ma le that a fearful centralization is going on in our Government which threatens to paralyze the States and destroy individ ual liberty. Like most alarming out cries, it hccms to us to have but a semblance of justification. Hamilton remarked in The Petit ralittt: "The operations of tho Federal Government will bo most extensive and important in tiiiios of war nnd danger; those of the State governments in times ol peace nnd security." If bo had foreseen a v ar. not of the ordinary ohurnctcr, not such as the Uuion actually encountered be fore the present generation, but one waged by States themselves against the Federal Government, how much stronger would ho havo made his statement' Concurring with Madtaou iu the Baying that the Uniuu was not n monster whose members coutrollcd its head, he w<. uld havo vindicated the general cxercis ? of power by tho Federal Government which was useumcd during the war of the Rebellion. That Government, iu n sudden and chaotic crisis, was called to savo the life of tho nation. The tuuchiiiory provided in tho Constitution for ordinary ex.gCt.oiea was inapplicable or was thrown out of gcai by the seLssion^of oloven State?. Tho nation fol back od its iohcrcnt powers, using thi forms of law, following precedent, wl nrovcr it could, but confronting the pc il at all events; and it succeeded. In so doing it showed itself strong where ev q tho most acute and disinterested cri ice, like De Tocquovillo, had pro no inccd it weak. Undoubtedly that wai'a centralizing process; but its results weifi of two kinds: those which were temporary or which will recur only with the return of n similar crisis, nnd those I which hare entered into the working character of tlio Government. What, then, is tho permanent central litdfion which is supposed to have originated with the present era ? Ina word, ? is the increasing predominance of tKe legislative branch of tho Govern ment. When the war of the Rebellion came on it was found, as has been well said, that Congress was the driving wheel of the government engine, while tho will of the people was the motive power. The Judiciary was powerless, the Executive could do but little more than await legislative action. Aud to it continued throughout the war; and the lesson that was then learned, which I England was centuries in acquiring, will never be forgotten, and the result will be to make Congress the predominant force iu cur Government, as Parliament is in the British Government. We know there are those who imagine that the Executive has been gaining on the other departments, and that the real centralization is there. No greater mis take is possible. The President of the United States is not near so powerful in our political system as he was even a dozen or fifteen years ago. Buchanan, who was much weaker personally than Grant, carried through the Lccompton iniquity, which was much more ob noxious than the San Domingo proji ct, which Gruut was obliged to drop. Per haps it will be said that the removal o! Mr. Sunnier from the Chairmanship of the Senate Committee of Foreign Rela tions, is a proof of the power and inter ference of the Executive with the Leg islative department ; but the failure of tho main t?e! muc, of which Mr. Sum- j mer's removal was but an incidt tit, shows | that the latter event was chiefly owing to other and probably personal causes, existing in the Senate itself. How tho President fares in a direct issue with Congress, even where he is strongest, us iu the control of patronage, in iy be s ? u in tha Tenure of office law, with which President Johnson was lassoed Lti whicheser direction wo turn, in fact, w.i see this same process of legislative ascendency going on. Does the Supreme Court render a decision adverse to the action and views of Congress '! The Court can be reconstituted aud enlarged j by Congress, till the decisiou is reversed ! We do not say that such was the history ; developed by the reci nt legal-tender decisions; but wo do say that the example shows what can be done in such exigencies, and the mere fact of abilify often answers every purpose of its exertion. In Mr. Fisher's thought ful work on "The Trial of the Constitu tion," great stress is laid upon the prac tical inefficiency of the Fifth Article ? that providing for amendments?of the Constitution. Since tho hook was writ ' ten the author has doubtless had oc casion to see in this very weakest part of the Government, as he had considered it. one of the strongest proofs of tho controlling power of Congress, which consummated the three last constitution al amendments und recast the Govern ment, by requiriii' the rebellious States to ratify the amendments us among the conditions of restoration to the Union In short, Congress is the section ol tho Government which is clothed with prac tical ability,?which does things,?and consequently it draws to it>eil the forces of sovereignty and must go on increasing while the other branches ttre dorr.jag In pursuing this investigation it might be shorn, we think, that not only is Congress gaining on tho co ordinate branches ol tho Government, but the House ol Representatives is gaining on the Senate; but il is not necessary to bo thus minute. It is more to the p nut to glance at the necessity and the safety <d* this general process. Without its inaug uration it is perfectly clear that the nation could not have been rescued from its recent peril. Tho Government, us previously operated, was like an old fash ioned man of-war, pow< rful on its broad sides, but exposed to raking tires and t' boarding, especially if disabled at the helm; while now it resembles u turieted iron.clad, with its guns under ready con trid aud oqually effective in any dircc tiou. This adaptability gives an impres sion of greater accession of power than bus actually buppcuud, and we think it will be found oil examination that the States and the other brauohos of the Federal ovcruinciit have not ooon di vestcd of any attributes rcuH essential to the welfare of the people and that Congress has assumed none that are dangerous. It has certainly attempted uu such pretensions as the Supreme I Court Judges quietly put forth iu the Drod Scott dcc.sioti. unieh affirmed that ' this Government had i.een admiuisterod 00 Wrong principle! lor seventy .o.rs and that no barriers could be creeled Against the national spread of slavery. There were do outcries then about cen tralization! Aud yut tint decrco was made without any impulse ' from the people. ?.y men who held life offices, und it was claimed to he irreversible in its nature. Congress, ou the other hund^ comes directly from the people and "ocs back to them again at short intervals, and is nov?r free fiom the popular pres sure. If any branch of the Govern ment, therefore, can be safely intrusted with increased power, it^ the legislative. Further securities against abuse arc found iu the vast and increasing extent of our country, which will render any deleterious kind of centralization, like that of the French political system, ut terly out of tho question; and also in the character of our people, whoso im pulses, training, and experience make them more and more the haters ol every thing in the nature of absolutism. Hut t hey do see that a government, like nil other instrumental*!tos, to be worth any thing must be efficient, ami th y are ta king care that ours shall be.? Every Suturday. \wm mat - ? - <??? Titos.
