Wealoy, Ont Monday wo worO han~ded a let ter wVhich we were told was -semnt to the lEditor, and oplening and reading it, we wero filled with sadniess. Th'le letter itself' is a burlesque upon a knowlbedge of the principles of govern mont. llut we have published it to lot the intelligent reader see what "stoping to conwquor" will be permit.. ted by the Ra~dicals of' the North rath er than havo their party overthrown. If time letter alluded to were from an intelligent man, it could not ap.. peoar in thos~o colunmis except ias an aid vecrtisenment, because the intention of it Seems wholly to be to refute soe reports against the political character of the author. If those wvho symipathize with "thmo mamn whoi was to be canadw/c for Con-' gross" will just turn to another col umn, they will find an article from the Now Yo'rk Jealad which shows how mjuch the Northern peoplo think of the colored 1)00p)1 attempting'to got into Congress yet. lTose colored people who remain ly labor for an honest living and for an education for themselves and for their children, are more likely to so cure the approving help of both North and South (that is, the decont and respectablo portion of both sections) than thoso who now blindly and igno rantly rush into discussions for which they are no more qualifled than a child. 'T.'ho colored people will have the right to vote for oflicers of both State and Federal governmient,-and even of town and city govlernlment, as soonl as (lie Stato is rostored to the *Uiioni, bit they should ulerstand that it is not "all of an office" to hold it, for there are duties and responsibilities in every offico for which they are not yet riualifild. They can find plenty of friends at home without, like Wesley, and his party, running offlto the Repub lican Party for friends who will remaiii so as long as they reccive political support from them, but who when the day of sickness or distress or pain conmes, will leave them to rot by the sidoway rather thant extend to them a holping hand. No Black Mail's Party. Thile Newi Ylork 'Iribuie, the paper which above all others has contribu ted to the emancipation of the slaves, says: Thoso men in the South who are working to establish a black man's party are the enemies of this princi pIe of equality, and if they carry out their plans, they will strike Republi canism at blow far heavier than the )emocracy can deal. They will go far to undo the.grand reform of which the waril. was th e instrument. In Vir ginia, it is feared that the State Re publ ican Con vent ifn, to be held August ist, will lie he occasion of a di vision in the R ipuiblicani ranks and the creation of rival parties, black and white. In Missouri, also, there are adventhurers who urge tle colored im en to d enm and represeitation on i he 'residential Ticket, anad inl Case it is refused to form ia selarato orgalniza. tion. We do iot bel ieve these efforts will be suis aitel by the colored miin, for they surely know the fatal results of such an unprincipled policy. -We hopo R. S. Wesley, who con tributes a letter in another column, will find comfort in the above para graph from one of the most prominint Repiblicall papers in the whole Un i ted States, and that lie will road it to the mall he met in the road who 'was bout on coming to the 'Boro to offer himself as a eaididate for Congress, 01o som111 other Iosition lie was about as fit to fill is a pig is for preaching.

Seiinng vs Earning Land. Th'le Radicals who mot in Clolumibia would comnpel land-owners to sell their sur'plus tracts. This plan is called "inildl confiscation." There is no bet ter' way to commpel at man to sell his land, than for the 0one proposing to buiy to shlow by hlost an~d inldulstri ous labor thlat lhe is fit to own land, and has tihe energy to pay for it.

Vlitor.: TheIa platform adopted by the convention of (lie Unaion Itepublican party itn Columbia on the 15th istant, to a great degree, coam posed of persons who recenttly settled ini the State, and anot at all identified in itnterest with our people, is calculated to arouse (lie btoretoforo dormaint energies of outr citizens and briang them intto actiont before it is too late. Before suggestinag a remedy which will thwart. thte evidenat purposes of the extro mists of thtat conivento, I assumte as a fixed fact, that (the Coagressiontal plan of reconstruction will be carried cut, and It Is without the compass of any political organ. Ization to provet it. It Is imnpossible that any party can be successful in Southa Care. linta which (lees not star~t out, with the Idon tat, all ahton should be ea'tal Itn all re spects, legally and politically. The Deato cratio party being powerless, it is idllo to look to it for relief. President Johnason, Int hais' eagerness to grasp all power and by aid froma the Souathernt Slates Securte his conatin unnee in em110, has tmissod his autm, anad mere~ly occuplios a chair, wrhicht wit hott hi Laircase, would ielld as amuch itnluenaco int (lie goveranent. There las, thocrofore, no help to be expeotod froan this quarter. 3 At. the first glansdo ever the Columnbia platform, iI wonld appear thiat. one of thec planks it it pointed to a divisiona of thec lantds; thilsidea was u~eant to be convoyeod int ordler to scourg (lho votes of the poorer classes (white arnd colorod) its the State. But, as little reflection uapons the resolutiont As a wole, counsidored with'thte fact that an amoenment was proposed to the same by a Chiarleston .delegate which poinited to (tho taxation of all lands ever a certasin tnmbor of acres, by the aere, -and excluding a CerA tabn number ofenocre's frotti thanton, and~ the Jivitation tp Immigrate to settle lan the iState, is conoljusivo evidence, that the blew in mneatto intrikenu hagroicultural inttiras. of the State, The object Is not: to divide the lands araongst tie poorer Olases *ithin (he Stato, but to tax them, so as to. Orce the gale of them to intaigrants and spoeonla tore at a ruinous sacrifice to (he preseu. owners, without a shadow of encouragmont to (ho laboring blacks of the State, who of' all others should be preferred if any prefer. enco is to be given. If the Legislature is to take chargo of this matter and offer "praoticablo Induce ments for (he division and sale of the unoc,, cupied lands," it necessarily atnounts to either agrarianism or heavy taxation. The first emphatnically repudiated by the Union Republican party, and the latter must be fle pOgramnme. Now, (he question ii, what. bIpcilt lthe colored people are to do rive from this, even to lay aside (le unniti gated injistico to the present owners? The State mnay be traversed fromt one end to the other, and not one colored man inl fio hun. dred will be found able to buy, for cash, fifty nores of land at $2.00 per acre. And the consequence must be that, outside spe. culators and immunirants will be able to buy (lie lands of our peoplo thus forced upon tho market at onstifti the real value, and leave the poor colored laborers in a far worso condition than they are at present. Iln faot, it will drive them fron the State. The aninus, which seemed to govern the Charleston delegates (especially the wihiltos) was to ignore the true interest of the agri. cultural districts and work for themselves as individuals and city property owners. They did not have the manhood to adopt a plattiorn upon which liberal minded mon could stand, for fear that they might lessen their own claims for elevation to otlioce, as is evident from tle resolution which would bind all members of the party to support the regular nomines without any reserva, (ion whatever. Other planks in the plat form are objectionable, but the two alluded to, so clearly demonstrate the fact, that the agricultural interosts of the Stato are to suffer and that the party must. be obligated to sustain tie nomiinces without reference to ability, competeney or honor, that it must suggest itself to every honest mind that something should b done to avert th Ie dan ger. At this time, there are no distinctly defined party associations in South Caroli na. It is true, tIhero is a men ningless party under ex-GOv. Perry opposed to reconstrueI (ion, bit. this party hans no weight and can iot possibly carry amauch iaihtltonco without a radical chtange in its professed object, and tle only hop poiants to those who are iaa fa vor of reconstruction under the Military Bill. The majority of tiae Union tepubli. can party North, have set, outwith the Mili tary Bill as their fundamontal party princi ple. , They ignore confiscation, agrarianism and other side issues, and stand squarely Ltpon the principle of legal and political equality to all mn1a, without reference to race, color or previous condit ion. Tle mi nority of this party, composed of extremists woutld go farther and include more than what is set forth in the Columbia platform, yet both wings act together np to a certain point. Now, let its look to the retuedy. ngainst iimnigranits, extremists and land larks who haive no intcrest in common willa the people of (ho State. Before tile sva, Gov. Wise, of Virginia, said (lhe policy t of t le South was to fight for bor rights in i lie Union, anl time has proved ltae wisdom >f tle suggestion vlieh will apply with ,iial aptitude to us in our present condi lion. We see thme dominent party in Congress andI throuotghout (lhe Nott str-etchting forth its poiwerful armas to ombiraco thae enatire SouthI. We see the rapid sti-ides of this party in Virginia and over-y Stato. We see thoir orgnizations in alnost ov-er-y County and towatnmaking mSids to suit the particular sect ions in which they would like to suc ioed. We seo their plat forms so fr-amed as to suit the idens of those sections, but in no case (10 we see a want, of ener-gy and determination to cary out the end of legal ad political equality to all men. Thais grandl object cannot be defeated, but the: object of designaing men to force the landls' of our people upon the ,market, open to speciulatoirs, immigrants and political aspi rants can be defeated thr-oughi (tho Repuabli oan party and onaly tharough this party. I am fully aware of the accumulated pre judices of thae past fifteen years which are to be overcome in recommending an asso ciation with thins party under the name of Union Republican, but bitter experience andi the uinpi-omising prospect before us loenand thaat our policy should be based upon wise reasoning rather than empty prejudices. Contgress will unquestionably give sup, port, to any reorganization of thie State gov ernment whioh may bie predicated upon assurances of the domninancy of the Repub lican party, no matter what, may be the partienlar policy of the party withain this State, and it, rests with the people of the agricultural (distriots to decide whether or not extreme radicalism shaall prevail. . The organization of thae Union Ropnblin can party in thae upper and interior (listraicts of South Carolina, based uapon (lie bread plat form of legal and political equality to all men, Including a clause condemnatory of the cotto~n tax and a recomamendation of optional sales ef land to the poorer elasses of white and clored labour-ors, will scure, to our people, success In the coming oloo tions and the adocpt.ion of a State Coenstitu-.
