FAMIEIC HERALD. WINNSBORO, S. C. Weiedslay Miorning, Dec. 22,18'9. D. i ;y's3, W l li am3 & Co., Prop:e ThIe Prope a E ference. '+ The Chai.leston Courier closes its comnmien.t upon the Georgia bill by uaving, that "all the South can do, is t. wait and hopo." Now we cannot " p miile of ground for hope that j r inney of the congressional ' a hether cf the Radical, - ie .r Denmcratio party, can r.. "n except by armed forco, nid an di: ever no sense in rcaifing a inu iia y wuent. What we can do, we ; ,!, at once, arid it is a very ri np'. th g. though 'Tlhad. Stevens notili I t t it would take "twen . y '' o it g ts to it ; we can us.; c' . I.: w. een? immerndiate/yl sub nAl, ab>solutely and conil te"y. to the Congqrcesional jna.,rity, and leavo to ot.z;ois the pi otlen of overthrowing the usurpations of Congress by force, for it is sher lunnay, as grcat as that of the idea of "peaceable secession," to suppose that they can be over th r'wn except vi it armis. We can :-unman t. r-C e i remember that we are - jugatul prov:nees, and that it is not .,, us to at ahtrt the principles of liber ty. but to hold theit in abeyance, whi!o conforming to the very last con ditiotn of our setjngation. In l'ndo ral polities, we should bdong to no party, but, as a general thing, run ad ministration eanlidates for Congress, and in South C relina,, run Whipper or Cardoza, if either will join us, against Bowen, and Wright, against Whittomore, along with two white men. Thu!,, by executing to the let ter the ver.C worst measures, intended i to fret and aggravate us, so as to fur- t nisah opportunity for future oppression, t we may induce others (for we cannot) to put a 5top to Congressional tinker- t ing with Southern Reconstruction in five ycurs, and disappoint the arch- i iend'a expectation of "twenty years' ' use of such an instrument of usurpa tion ;and revolution as Southern Re- 1 construction otherwise proanises to con tinue to prove. We counsel, that our 1 (pinions and principles be held in abeyance, as becomes a subjugated section, anad that we allow folly to wor k its own cure, by taking a (passive) part in exhibiting its fruits. Free provineoa m say have opinions and dis- s cuss garinciples, but subjugated prov ince3 must ncept them as fixed c facts, as sign-posts by the wayside, and aim after a practicable policy, at po- i lit 1cal prnidcnce, ad t th al t- e sh'uld run a black and white admin-t is ration iloket for Congress, andI t bla~k and white tickets for thec Gone. ral Assembly. Nor must we commit v the blunder, which seems to be conun- t sdlcd by some papers in the State, of c pros.eribing as a c/Us the so-called I souaawaga and carpet-baggers. In our e condition, feeling and principle aret nothing--policy, everything. Th'le i degradation of such a course, about t which somue people prate, is exactly e as much as, and no more than, the t degradlation of L~ee, when ho handed , his sword to Grant. This is the inner a logio, the proper inference of the ease. Tauth and goodness are insep. arably connected in God's plans. K~nowledge of a fact Is ever attended E by a blessing as its fruit, itf man will V o'iy pluck it. If, then, Congressiona- I al sup.reacy be a truth, wvhnro is the ii good ne-s 1 if it, be a fact, whence can ~ we of the subjugat ed sootion pluck the o blessing, save in the most absolute t submissiou 7 It is the business of " others, not of us, to resist, i f they sec il fit, b~y protest, by argument, by bal- r lots, and 1 y bullets, when ballots 0 fail. This is no longer any family n quarrel to the people of the South. i] Let it alone. f Congress Suapreme until JAs- t3 paersed by thae swordi. Those who strive to avoid all party ti shackles, and exercise independent A thought in politios, are somnetimoes $ startled by the boldness with which li 60me plain matter-of-fact looms up K< and stands out before them. The of Phanix will scarcely naow read the ai Georgia and Supreme Court bilis, and ei Sneer jocosely at our conviction, that al ours is a government of the Congros- a) tianal majority, whose will is spremna fr ter. States, as snythinag other than h< nmunioipal provinces of Congress, have ceased to exIst, ad the fruits of this oi great revolution in the character of d4 oner g'vernntpent will be exhibited, g among other things, in the coniplote t( fiaillaont of Thad.

What' i dark resting-place for one's con .eientious convictions ! The Flag. Principles are ever symiboliztd to :ho vulgar with a power, and in a rna~nner. that-they do not themselves understand. The negro, Nash, only ,tatod the truth tho other day, when bc ta' ! in the State Senate, that there vare but one flag in this country, and re didn't botevo that the State flag had any right to be hung up side of t." Wh- t flng is it? Niah would reply, "the flag of the Union." We inawer, "the flag of Radical Demc cra 'y," triumphant hero, and destined to .plit the Union, militant in Europe, mnd destined to revolutioniso its every government and its every people, and to drench its soil in blood. That flag, the once glorious star- pangled banner waving over a Federation of Free States, is now the symbol of Union? -believe it not -but of Radical Do mocracy and its consequences, what 3ver they be. With that proclivity o self-deception that charaetorises oor humanity in every age, the Radi ml Denoornts a? them.selves Republi ans. But a republic is a govern. neat of regulated liberty, of the will nd wisdom of a people as expressed n permanent though expanding insti utious and principles, not a govern nonb of its temporary will and fallible resent judgment or caprice, This lat er is the governmout of a Demoora y. And the fact we wish to notice s, that our flag now symbolizes not mnion, (devils, awsiting the dread hir ory of the future, make the depths of toll re-echo with soornful scoffs and ears at the delusion) not regulated iberty, (that, too, has gone) not Re mublicanism, but pure and unadulto ated Radical Damoeracy. Now R idical Democracy has hither o always failed. M an being the same, yo would say eategorically, it will fail gain, but that we think the progress f soionce and the diffusion of knowl. dge does constitute a difference of ircumstances never before existing. Vhat say we, thou- t Why, aimnI ~iami t tu t-tidst of a most olosral experiment that has to be red. Conform to the miovement of Le age, for it is irroeistible, and try his experiment one miore, as fairly as to can. But we needn't dream that he pierpetual union of these States is ne of the consequences of the princi hlo now in action, arid sy mbholized by ur flag, for it is riot. It is too clear o be doubted, thait it *8isnot. The Tini may last a very long time, but Lien, again, it may not. The first iovemcnt of organization is towards he centre, but further progress re ults in differentiation of parts and p~eeialization of function. A Fisha CommisIonaer.

That particular method of aoconmplish ing theobject failed. But the logic of revolution is inexorable, and the Supreme Court must, in orio way or another; be shorn of the prerogative of being the ultim ate judge of the limitations o.,tablijhdd by the Federal constitution. It is a political, a logi cal, a moral necesity, rpringing from the usurpationsr of Congreo,, and we have, for two yo-irs, considered it as good as accomplished alreaidy.

The well-informed London corre~ pondent of the New York 'limls aIites: The question of cheap cotton is felt more and mioro to be onre of life arid death to Lancashbire.

Alge ria is too dry ; Italy has too many products; the Weost Intdies find it easi. or to raise coffee anmd sugar: Brazil needs -reads and labor ; Peru has the latter difficulty ; AustralIa has good cotton regions, but; men will not work S0 near gold diggitigs for lessm than ten shrillinugs a day ; (Jhina and Japan can raise plenty of Cotton, but they hrave manufautories of their own, and have even carried off. 200,000 baleis in a year'fromi thre Botnbay market, when the price suited: them. The India cottoin is peor and dear ;.it can he pro duced in prett.y lam e quantities ar long as the price is high; when it falls the natiu.s either spin it, them. selves or atop producing.
