[From the Charleston Courler.j Son, J. Q. Adams on the Past and Pres et Issues of the Democratic Party. The Mas.isaohusetts Dimupraoy have assembled and aijourned. They have !q W notninated a full ticketi, witti*-Jijhn Quincy Adams again. as thuir cau'di date for Governor. But the significance of the Conven vention isin its enunciation of the Dain ocratic platform for the future, and the acknowledgment that the imsues of negro suffra--e and -of reconhtruction pre dead and past. Those of the, fu Vure are to be the tariff, taxition, the protection of labor,. universal aumos ty and restoration of Stateship. The views of the Ropublioau party are well known. Its chief leaders and the bulk of its followeri are for continued restriction and disabilities. But the course of the Damooratio party is, however, of more importance, as upon the platform it . adopts. will depend the nature of the present or future political issues. And it is in this point of view that the action of the Massauthusetts Con vention, as illustrate.d by Mr. Adams'. declarations, becomes important. The ground is distinctly taken, that events have settled the past, and that the duty of the Democracy is to look to the future. ~:And this appears from the platform* ~'itself. 2It is true this asserts "the Demo cratic party of Massachusetts have no new theories to advance upon nationgl Asubjects." It is true also that this condemns the past, when it declares, "Recent events as well as the experi once of our earlier histoy .serve jo ~iconvince us that the fahr' tbe . '.. tj. wanders from the old ana eor iltid principles of, Demnoeracy the more utgent grows tle ueed of them." It Is, how ever, se ~itt''a, cal duty to acquiesce inisettI~ resu as and postpone fruitles oppopitiop1 to teacomplished factseof 4sate day, Sin order to secure effedttve action upon the presising "problousof thei day., And it is made mote 61ear by ri rr, enee to Mr. Aditns' apeech.

Ua measure of disfranobisement would be expedient. The barbarian ballot then should be regarded by a wise party as no longer a legitimate sub ject of discussion. It. has passed from the realm of dqba-.able ques tions, and should not be classed in the category of facts. Arguments for and against Its adoption were admis sible last autumn; but now they are out of place. We cannot advocate or I help it. We must accept it as one of! the elements in the problem offered for our solution, and address ourselves to that as effected by thlssinseparable modification." There is another fact which indi. cates that these opinions foreshadow the future platform of the Dom oratio party. The New York W'oral not only de. olares the speech as "clear and able," and again as "manly and free from all party clap-trap," but itself doolares these questions as "really obsolete," and that the whole Democratic party are "fast coming to these conclusions." Having seen, therefore, the nature of the issues which Mr. Adams and the Mfassahousetts Democracy regard as finally decided, we now offer a few sentences to those which he terms "living questions." These are the present systems of taxation, for as Mr. Adams truthfully says, "There is no nation in the world which Is taxed as we are taxed;" the relations of capital and labor, a rigid economy in public expenditures, an opportunity for all to buy In the cheapest market with honest coin, so that taxes may no longer utterly con. sume wages, and the utter abolition from the statute books of Congress,.or of States, of all test oaths, disfran chisement or penalties. The finanoial question is one which the whole country feels, It comes to the door and home of every man. It involves the very life-blood of the prosperity of the people. Upon this point we prefer to give the entire language of Mr. Adams: The next sturdy robber is the tariff upon imports, which Is, as he says, under all circumstances, a tax paid by the copsumer. But what kind of a tax it is when our tariff is a proteotive and not a revenue tariff solely let Mr!-i illi the Aptdat an-Mlettst *1 ty on the suibject, tell you. "All eus. tomn duties which operate as encour agement to the home production of the-taxed article are an eminently wasteful mode of raising revenue. They are purely mischievous both to the country imposing them and to those with whom it trades. The amount of the national los1 thus oc onsioued is measured by the excess of the price at which the commodity is produced over that at which it could he imported." So much for theory. i Now, what does the Special Republi can Comnissioner tell you this tariff, practically is? A tariff which is un just and unequal, which needlessly en hances prices, which takes far more indirectly from the people than is re ceived into the Treasury, which ron ders an exchange of domestic for for eign commodities nearly impossible, and which, while professing to protect American industry, really in many cases discriminates against it; and he goes on to tell you what is the upshot of the whole system. And thus the wave of taxation continues to extend and enlarge itself until no man can measure the breadth end power of its influence, and breaking ultimately with full force upon two classes of so ciety-those Ilving upon fixed in-' comes atid the day laborer. Do you wonder, then, that the workingmnan Is discontented, subjected naked to the: lapabigug of such a pitiless storm of taxations?

The Carolina Farmer was establ sit ed in November 1868, as the organ of the farmers and planters of North and South Carolina, That It has thus far fulfilled the expectations of ;ts friend is abundantly evidenced by the general and increased favor with 'which it. ha tieen received. But the success, alreadv attained, though gratifv ing, is not all that they hope for and confidently an ticipate. It is especially desirable to nia'e the Carolina Parmer the medium through which the views of the most intelligent practical farmers of the two Ca-olinas may be exchanged. The ad vantages of such a inedium are so ob. vious iat it is not necessary to enlarge on them. Your own intelligence will suggest all that should be said on this point. You must concede that our section of country needs an organ of this kind. We have already suffered so much from ignorance and unskilfulness in the cu. uivation of the soil, that it has become a duty on the part 4 of our enligIiten.-d agriculturists to make a general and uiited effort for the correction of the evil. Poverty and bankrnptcy have invaded the homes of our people to a sad extent, and these evils can only be averted by improving our system of Ag riculture. All wealth originates in the soil, and the growth of towns and cities without a corresponding inbrease in agriculure, is factitious and unprofita ble. We want a healthy and flourish ing agriculture as the basis of our indits. trial system When we obtin this, commerce will flourish, capital be accu mulated, manufactures established, rail roads built wherever needed and pros perity and contevttnient prevail. As an intelligent and patriotic citsen ask yourself whether you cannot do some thing towards the accomplishment of an object so noble? You may possibly think that your individual efforts in this direction can accomplish nothing worthy of note. but remember how great is the power of a free press in spreading truth and correcting error I Moreover there is a common bond of sympathy connect ing those of like pursuits, and a word ftly spo . n wiiljd4.jK Mwb..many.. pn ihe rigit bord, awaken lati them thought and stir up others to giie publicity to thoughts valuable and instructive. Thie subscriber therefore appeals to you as a patriot and an intelligent farm. er to aid them with your peint in build ing up the agriculture of our awction. give to your brothir agriculturalists, throngh the colun. of he Carolina Farmer, the henefits of your observa tions and reflections. So doing you will contribute to the elevation of th.- 4 noble pursuit of igriculhure, the prosper. I ity of yon: couitry and the happiness of its peIple. Farmers, write for your paper, "and thus enable ts to make the Carolina Farmer a journal suited to tire agiicul ture of our section. Communications on all practical subjects pertainig. t the farm are earnestly solicited. And contributors may rely on the prompt publication of their articles, as the pro. prietor has determined, on the first, day offNovemnber next, to convert the Farm. er into a Weekly Agricultural and Family Journal, and will thus be ena bled to pubhlish everything in season.

When this tor rible piece of intelligence had been roceived, a great cry went up from the Northern journals-not for the loss of the man, however, but for something vastly more important the destruction, of the whiskey. What will become of the unfortunate citisens of that unfortunate city ?did they all exclaim. The burning of so much of the generous juice of Bourbon and of Robertson county would cause such an advance in the price of what was left, that the hardy sons and daughters of the Quaker City would be depriv. ed of their natural nourishment, and a whiekey famine was seriously pro dicted.
