'And it pionjises special as sistaneo to those who accept the invi tation, while it avoids any irritatiig threats against tho.,e who think it their.interest to mako enrpet-baggev their iaster", and to place thomsolves in antagoni:;m to the interests of the Ivbit'es, and to fhe best prospect of their 'own rict. We will take care of those who com to us. Lot the others tlift for theitselves. 'he position takon in the above resolution idiffers mich from the poli cy of proscriptive force and vengeaw advocated by some fow on the same sibject. It is calculated to conciliate.

We prefer, therefore, to copy nnd endorso emphatically the following well-timed caution from the Darlington outhern Cr. "We are now in that position when peculiar eideuco and great foresight is required to keep us from going to peces oil the ro-ks that surround us.

Let, the negros got into their head the absuiril folly, th;at the the elect itl of Grant will establish fir'mly and perm anent ly their brutal ascenadaincy, and it is very clear to us exactly how they will vote. T1hie truth is, thiri vote is comiparatively unim tpor'tanit, andi nlot worthi much ado about. '/lle ?ds areC going to settle this question, and we (irimly believ'e, that, port ion of thiem that live at the North, will d o it t his veryV fall.

Thaitlis the plain'of truth--let them hear it, but don't tell themn such folly as that this eletion is a matter of life and death to us whites, for it is not. We will rule, and will have a o counts to settle besides. Onr true re lation to the present election at the North (for South Carolina, and, in dIeed, tihe whole South will not decide it,) is thus admirably stated in an edli. torial of the Orngeb)urg New.e.

Seward and a Heald correspondent, which sets forth satisfactori ly the present views of the Seoretary on national politics. As to the possibility of great excitement in the campaign, Mr. Se ward said : "That Is something I can say liothing about." Ile hazarded an opinion however, that "thne would develop" the fact, yea or nay. As to 0what the fufte polioy of the administration will be, that is soimthifg "for him to know and others to find out ;" and in answer to the suggestion that a nit of his experience and Josltion would bo heard with great attention by the people, he 'gives dhis Wiold thought : "Then the people will have to wait, and when I fay anything, if I hav6 anything to say they will have a chance to knoW what I s.' There you have him. When lie has any thing to say lie will say it, and when he says it. it will be his saying, and will be said. Here is profound political philosophy anti this no doubt reflects the precise state of (lie Premier's mind. He has no political convictions just now and no opinions that, he dare venture. His vacuity is the conve quence of the fact that lie actually does not know where lie i li the bolitical tide. This Trammany Convention orl, the 0wAinistra lion adrift, and Seward is with it, 6oveting a careful silenice with a hint of diplomatic gtile. How dilerent, N-oll Ithe Ast, when Seward, at the close of every ongross an'd in tle opening of evelry struggle, Was not a happy man till lie could get up to Auburn, get the people together and make a clean breast of his own part of tle case! Pow lustriicivo A fact that a man of fifty years' active politidal life and study of parties has at the last got no other Wisdon from his experience than such as teaches him to hold Iis tongue.-N. Y. Herald. The Southern correspondents of the New York Herald don't keep track of Its viri ous trimings, and are now writing conside. rablo triath. One in Georgia says, there is altogethor too much good feeling between the whites and blacks to suit the Radicals, and hence the terrible stories that are trutiped up of "rebel atrocities." Ilo Con tinues: "The fact is,that, if the people of the Southern States ndw represented in Con gress, white and black, Were allowed to vote, Seymour and Blair would receive the electoral votes or every one ofthem by such enormiious ma1jorities that, even tle most fa. ntii Radical negro worshipper would begin to doubt the policy of negro suffrage.

Ills course has been carefully scenttinised by us since he first tuA lile ecat io a h,ethber of the House, and on all ocecasiois lie has proven himself not only worthy of confidence, but eminent ly deserving t' consideration for the moral heoism lie has displayel. Every argument whieb tlie radicals could command has beei whispered in Isis Car, to convince him I hat. lie was antagonizing himself to time in terests of lis race ; and when these failed, threats, scotfs -and jeers hamve been unavail iiigly empiloyed to dragoon him into their ranks. Amidst all these temptations lie hias remainedl firm aiid true to his first love; and to the people who appreciate his consis t.ency., and wvho, when the day of thik re storation to power returnis, will ifewai'd him for his noble services in the oatibe of' Jstice ai truth.-A5niz. 'The Radical New York l'imes becs ''no necessit-y whatever for the ses'sioli of Con gress next, monthi, whieh a numbei' of pro minent southieih Radicals are working for." Nor, we supose, does anybody else, The "scalawag" and "carpe.bag' crew only imagine the necessity of force foi their de fence as a logical sequence to their own acts, which, being violenit, should naturally beget violence. But, their demands are a lit tle more than the Radicals are prepared, just, in the middle of thec Presi,iential cam pflign, with so much odium restiing upon them already, to concede. The part.y will most probably concur with (lie Times that a "fair election and the liberty of voting to the freedmen" "are mattet s that must, be provided tbr by the State authorities." The Times sees "nothing but harm to the public interests -[i. e., Radical interests] from a September session of Conigress.". A CAn PPET-B3AooER CoMsin To QnTEP.--Wm, L.
