.FAIRFIED HERALD WINNS11ORO, S. C. Wednesday Morning, Sept. 16, 1809. D13 iprIos, Williams & Co., Props The Party Name. Tho Barnwell Journal proposes the mie Conservativo, but the wisdom of a ni-radical white and black party I formiing in South Carolina adopt name 0Ropublican," can be .!d urgued from the vehoment v with which soie of the State Cling to the name "Domocrat," wh it. has evidently changed its iato. A Democrat in nation j-1 polities. now tmcans cne who holds tc rialits of thet S(ates as expounded Day I nl Webster, a Federalist or i big, theml the( mot formidable of all t ho opponuis of Ilii Calhoun Demo Crats ; and uly rI'p01flbican can noiv otisisteitly hold the sonic theory. Y,4 tho Phani, the Abbevillo Press, the Laurensvillo //enrtr, and the Ifdgefield A'Ivertiser. go into octaoonR "over our democratic alliance, and deprecato desertion or 6tour tim. honored prinoiples !" If a set of in telligent white men are so misled by a ntamo, as not even to appear aware that It has changed its meaning, and that Andrew Johnson's Democrney, and the Philadelphia Convention Dcmooracy, and the present North ern Democracy, is not, and nov or will be South Carolina Do miocracy, what are we to expect of Ignorant negroes, upon whoso votes the welfare of the State depends I Are they going to be more intelligent and more liberal-minded than the editors of the State press, the loaders of publie opinion ? We be lieve not. And since we acknowledge the triumph of republican principles as a matter of accomplished fact, it becomes the more intelligent party to embody that noknowledgement in a name and "language that can be un dorstood by the people." Otherwise, we demand of the negroo more intelli genceo and liberality than we exhibit ourselves. Moreover, this is a matter of State policy altogether. The name "Demo orat" is associated much more strong ly, in the mind of a negroe, with op position to his voting, titan with any thing else. It had better be dropped, and not only dropped, but the name "Republican," which indioates an ad. mison and advocacy of his right to vote, substituted for it. Liberal Ro publican, or Conservative Repub lican, or Anti-Radioal Republican, therefore, would be the best party namo of the now party. Our assortion that we had "return ed~to work more congenial to our na turethan wrangling," has perhaps been misunderstood. We simply meant to say that we intend to "fall back" and take our place in the anti-radical line, while quietly and firmly holding our conviction that the whiole line ashould aduance to the name we have fallen back from simply to prevent bitterness, wrangling and division. As to the policy we advocated, it has been nccepted. And we hold that his falhl and tnt nzext spring, is the timo for thoughtful men to consider tIhis question of name, and settle it I one way or the other. The Reo ly Again. 1In onler to dhestroy the influence of nul'1ien! inceniain os and cbeck the jobbing which looms up before us, the fla spocimen being eight millions to the Blue Ridge Railroad, the Liber als might even go so far, if necessary, candidates pledge themselves to vote for a continuance of the land commis s.ion, thoroughly as we have exposed that mischievous scheme, and as vile a trick as we believe it to be, utterly impotent to accomplish its pretended g lno of political agitation and social must not forget in January to teach the lesson that Providence has put it in our power to teach, by way of com pensation. perhaps for the failure of our crops--the leso of thme dependence Iof the laborer uipon the kindness and forbearance of his employer in periods of distress, lie courteous, olvil and ) kind, but let the froth of fury. lashed' up by Wimhab, Johnson, and other hi1 stupid incendiaries, and the absuwd expeotations from the land commis-~ sion, waste themselves comnpletely and subside, -before contraeting in any shape for 1870. Hoeld off, and a seuse ofttheir own best interest will bring your laborers to you upon your own terms. Some few will have the sense to see the situation, and oloee in early with fair offers. The rest will shortly follow. This firm and calm assertion of the rights of capital is not inconsistent to deserving laborers In their efforts to rise-..-a course which we also counsel as calculated to promote harmony of i political action and in consequence better government for the State. a Can history Teach Nothing ? t John C. Calhoun long ago proved that there was but one theory of c State Rights worth anything practi- I cally, and that is, the theory of State r Sovereignty that carries with it the t right to secede. The pitiful history 0 of the Supreme Court for the last t four years should prove to South f Carolina Democrats, that Webster's t theory, on the contrary, is practically i worthless, and that the revolution In the character of our government was t thoroughly completed by the election t of G rant. Yet South Carolina Demo crats cling to their "Democratlc al- j liance" with a party that accepted t Andrew Johnson's - now edition of V Webster's theory of States Rights as t sound doctrine, and talk devotionally a of the treason of dropping the name r Democrat for a practical object, and 1, feelingly deprecate desertion of "our t time-honored principles 1 Shade of a Calhoun I what a delusion I Moreover, that even the Democratic party is never going to not out in j practice its present theory of States Rights stolen from its former oppo- r nonls, when it gets into power, but a that its will, as being the will of the t majority, will then be &Sprema Lee is as clear a proposition to any rofiee- f tive mind as anything else thant expo rionce has proven a thousand times. Take things, therefore, as they are, and not as they ought to be, and adopt a wise, and above all, a practica ble policy, in the politics of the State. Popular Enthuniasm an evidence of Cor root Judgment in Polities, Everything that has been proposed to the whites of the South since the war, has met with no responso from f them ; has not boen readily taken up, nor cordially received ; his been more or less distasteful to thom, except the programme of the Liberals in Virginia and Tennessee, and that has been hailed with unbounded on thusiasm, and noted upon with such unanimity and energy of desire, as ut terly to non-plus, puzzle and confound the bitterest enemies of our people. They stand aghast, and really are at I their wits' end, not knowing whether a It would subserve their purposes to ' undo the choice of the people, or let , their triumph go unchallenged, "dis crotion, the better part of valor," rather inclining them to swallow the look and take the latter course, how- c ever distateful and bitter to them. Is there, then, no lesson in this sud- f den flaming forth of popular enthusi asmn 1 Is there nothing in this glori-r ous self-reliance of the Southern 1 white man, in this elevating convic tioni, that, simply lot him be frce, among those unfortunate political elements that niow surround him, andt lhe cnn achieve superiority, and rise to( his native preenlinence in the art of gov'ernment ? We bolieve the true keynote has been struck, and at the next election, thme virtue and intelli genco of South Carolina, forgetting - the past, will be seen to throw off its apaithy, and bring its offerings to thme service of the State. The Move in Union Ull-Timed, It will be seen that the people of Union recommend a threat of repudi ating the bonds to be issued by the present State Government to be made by the tax-payers in their various county meetings. Thfs move was re commended by ourselves last year, but before the will of the nation had unchangeably settled the mixed ehar- y actor of our State Government, and before unqualified negroc suif'rage had become a fired fact to be accepted ~ and wisely dealt with. As a war measure, it was good ; as a peace. s measure, it will not answer. This reconmmndation, comies, too, with ill-grace from Union, because it is wvell known that it is not jobbing to t which Union so much object., as that ( the Blue Ridge Railroad should jhavoe been the job, rather than the Spar tanburg and Asheville Railroad, con-t neeting with Union. t Now the State would not perhaps ap- t prove of the Blue Ridge Railroad job, C If it wore a question abi initio ; but three ow fear millions having boon in vested in the job already, the sonti- d mwent of the State Is, that less will be t lout by 6nikhing it, than by stopping short with it half way. Moreor, an, attempt to bleek the job now will not d sweeeed, but will simply put money, tl ir the shape of largeases and bribes, into the pooket. of our legislator., for several year. to come, Six dollars a 1 day, in one opinion, is surely enough h for suoh a set of fellows, though who ' ean blame the negroes at least, If they provo'uharp enough to make Dr. Scott shell over a portion of the steal. i 15th November and these can be of service in getting out the Cotton Orop.

JIsERAL DEMoC1AUY ANO CONSER VATIVE REPUBI.CANiSM --The discus. sion whicb has grown up between the journals of the State as to the "third party" movement seems to involve rather a question of nomenclature of party designation-than of princi pie or policy. However much we may deprecate the results of recon struction, yet, for the present at least they are "accomplished fate," and it would be fully to ignore them. Ne gro suffrage we believe to be "the direful spring of woes" unnumbered -the instrument by which unprinei pied men sustain their "rule and ruin policy ;" yet we must accept the sit uation, and fight our foes with their own weapons, and vsrgtii-h them, as we trust we will, on fields of their own choosing. The question of suraffge we lelieve to be a question belonging wh1l0 y to the States, but our Legislature has committed us to the fifteenth amnend ment and no action here can change the result. Hlowever much, then, we may endorse the position of the Ohio Doinocracy on this question of negro suffrage, it is no longer a practical issin. Did we not stcid upon the same ground, we might fight with the same weapons ; but if we of the South are to coi.quer radicalism, we must do it with the aid of the negro himself. leice, whatever name we may adopt, whether "Liberal Demo cracy" or "Conservative Republican .ism," we must still stand upon the .Iassachusetts platform, accept the facts of reconstruction, and ignore all else but practical issues. To redeem our State from the oppression of radi. cal muisrule is our first duty, and "anti-radialism" situld be the great rallying cry in the elections of 1870. -Abcville Press. Tii.: TRiauNE ON TIH OrnitoN. The Tribun of Saturday makes the following allu:sion to the opinion of Mr. Hoar : "The decision of the test-oath ques tion by Attorney-General Hear will,we trust, put an end to efforts that at one time threatened to be dangerous. Ior the purpose of ratifying the fifteenth camendmntot he holds lat the oath is not necessary. rhe Legia.lraturc will therefore organisL-not under such a pi idu's purge as some hot-heads have been seeking-but as elected. When the return of Virginia to her position as a State in the Union becomes com. plete by the congressional approval of such ratification, the Legislature again, without any test-oath require ment, can proceed to business. The decision is not without a sido that may seem to excuse if not to sano tion ceneral Canby's course, but it effectually stops his proposed action." The Now Oleans TIines says that the whole North is beginning to look to an extreme South-westeru State for its supply of frealh meat, and adds: "We have long been furnishing that people with thme chief material for their clothing, and now the ma ligned and persecuted South is expect. ed to supply thema with food. Still, we are reproached with indolence, lack of enterprise, poverty of resources, and general thriftlessness, because we do not,while prod ucing the food and cloth ing for t his people, also build the ships arnd railromads to transport, and the machinery to work up the the raw products which we send. them."' A dashing young widow in Detroit prepared a pleasant surprise for her suitor a few evenings since, JExpect, bga call frot him, she bid herself in a convenIent corner, and as he touch ed1 the knob of the door bell, sprang out in the darkness of the evening and nearly smothered him-with k~ es. Ills cool reception of her cares as startled her with a recognition of the fact that instead of her lover she had been lavishing her sweetnoss upon the conductor'of a street ear, who had come with a note explaining an unfor seen absence. The widow thereupn with gaeat propriety, fainted o h spot. -- GIenoral Ilawlins, before lie died, expressed himself very freely on poli tical matters, and in favor of the most liberal interpretation of the R - construction laws, and the early ad.

Now we have a way of sta Ing-otr convictions, without earing articularly whether they agree with ther 'people's or not; and since we ave already shown no objection to the ame Republican, if it be understood hat we are also anti-radical ; and Noe we are by no means sure bitt lint, if that perfidious liar, Grant, uds it to his interest to be conserva ive, it would not be to our interest a this State to fall in, and sup. ort him, especially in view or h1e effoet of so doing on State poli ies :-a suggestion front us may 'orhaps be listened to by the ladical party. We think exactly his-the revival of the lea-ue is the rorst possible policy for the Radicals D pursue, for it will repel intelligence nd respectability. If no league be ovived, and the next election be al. mwed simply to be one More of men, han of parties, the radicals will stand better chance or permanont suCcess, ud will make, by their moderation, iore than one valuable proselyte. ior the good of the State, therefore ro would prefer tho antagonism of nee to subside, and the league to dis ppear. But as an anti-radical, we o not object to its revival, since noth ng will keep the respectable whites urther off from the radicals than the evival of the league ; and nothing is aore sure to unito and give the new arty whose programme we hive late y sketched the control of the Stato i 874, if not before.
