The Radicals must have persuaded th selves that the people of this country li forgotten all its recent history, and have juretl all common sense. They tell us that they are thc atlvoct of free speech. But if their pretension i be interpreted by their conduct, the wt must bc taken "in a Tickwickian sen During the war, Mr. Vallandighani, a tinguisheil citizen of Ohio, thought ho hfl right to express his convictions as to unconstitutional proceedings of I?adicali Rut when he undertook to exercise that ri? tlie ruling party first imprisoned him : then drove him into exile. Lr.rnediai after the war Southern editors were dec impressed with the importance of encour ing and directing a subdued and impo\ ished people, and of calling attention to official corruption of those who were oppi sing and plundering, under various i texts, every community and well-nigh cv citizen in the conquered States. The So was reduced to bankruptcy; it was bc rapidly reduced to starvation by the hun] cormorants who were devouring all its s stance. But the press was muzzled; nu newspapers were suspended, many edit imprisoned. For a smaller offence-thal publishing an obituary notice of a Confe rate soldier-an Augusta editor was c into a felon's cell. Editorials were not lowed to be published until they had bc approved at headquarters. None were lowed to "peep or mutter'' until the abi dance of the land was consumed, and a pi plc dwelling in one of the most favored gions of the globe were standing face to f:i with famine, when private munificence store*., in some small measure, what Ra cal greed had taken away. During that dark day when Radica li was omnipotent, a gentleman convcrsii with a friend at a street corner in .inc of o Southern cities, made the remark tnat, view of the immense national debt lie tl not believe that greenbacks would turn o any better than Confederate currency. T remark having been overheard by a syc phant or a sp}*, the gentleman was infornv upon, and was in a few hours hurried oil' jail. And a similar system of espionage at tyranny was maintained during the wa throughout the North. No man was sa who expressed doubts as to the wisdom ? patriotism of the ruling party. They Iik< free speech so well that they boarded fri speakers at government expense in evei Bastile, from Chicago to Key West-furnisl ing many of them with light eniploymen ia cracking stones, carrying balls an chains, hanging by the thumbs and the Hk< When afterwards the iron heart of And Johnson melted towards his people and li was abused therefor by every Radical pres and every Radical Congressman, he use the same sort of "free speech" in reply, an was impeached for it, as everybody knows The 10th article, urged against the Presider by General Butler-insulted immaculate! charged him with "making speeches o "three different occasions which were disre "spectfnl toward Congress!" If the Presi dent spoke about Congress at nil, how coull he bc complimentary ? Nay, to what persou, or State, or depart ment of government do the Radicals allot free speech, if that speech is unfavorable b their projects, and if in any way they cai preveut its utterance ? The President wear a check rein as well us his horse. Thc dcci sions of the Supreme Court are menacet and restrained. The suffrages of uncoil strained majorities are reversed; their con ventions are dominated by the bayonet their representatives in Legislatures and it Congress arc denied the right of speaking and voting in their behalf. On thc one s'tdt scandal is used as political capital. A Hoot of Billingsgate is discharged upon every otu who opposes Radicalism. He is a traitor, i rebel, a copperhead, a bloated aristocrat, an incendiary and a slave-stealer. But lei him reply; let him undertake to show thal he is not a criminal, but a victim; let him clamor for Republican justice and liberty; let him prepare to do battle for constitutional guarantees and social order and vested right, and then, these blatant advocates ol free speech will garrote him if they can. When the Democrats rule, free speech is enjoyed by the whole community;.when the Radicals rule, it is the monopoly of a party and, indeed, the speech is very free, so far as it goes ! - * *' m.t i * III Hi 'morin m. An irreverent journalist has devised for tho pedestal of the equestrian statue to bc erected in Washington in honor of General Grant, an inscription, in which thc foUo?vitig are the most striking lines: A grateful people made him President. Ile proved his science By reaching into the unknown For Iiis Cabinet. He was generous, And, to those who brought him gifts, He gave fat office; And charitable; For he fed his finally at the public crib; And Uves immortal as the only man Who ever helped A brother-in-law. It is perhaps ^uly jost to add that the au? thor of this inscription is Brevet Brigadier Genera! Doa Pialt, of Ohio. He was a gallant fighter in war, and is an audacious writer ic peace. ? THE expression seeing light, often found in the Columbia correspondence of the Charles? ton papers, is Radical English for down? right bribery. When money is used to se? cure votes, light is said to be thrown on the subject, and when it is stated that a mem? ber tees light, the meaning is that he has been paid bis price. \ V \ Thc Follies of Protection. The London Economat,- of January 15, contains a careful review of Commissioner Well's last report, confining itself to two points, viz : the decrease in wealth of the United States and the mischievous effects of our protective turill-, nigh praise is awnrded to thc commissioner for his diligence in col? lecting facts, and Iiis intelligence in arrang? ing them a view to ascertain their true bearings. After declaring that "the Ameri? can protectionists have perhaps outdone "thc follies which have elsewhere been per? petrated,'' the Economist concludes its ar? ticle in these words : "As lo the remedy which Mr. Wells sug? gests-the substitution of a revenue' lor a pro? tective tariff, on^Tho model of our own first steps in free trade twenty-eight years ago the only question here will not be as to its ap? propriateness, but when thc Americans are likely to take it up. We have a great interest in the matter; but not as Americans commonly suppose, on account of the exclusion of our manufactures lrom their markets by thc tariff. The peculiarity of the evidence is that our manufactures are consumed in nearly the same proportion to the native product as before that we are noi excluded. The main cause of any loss wo sustain is In the voluntary poverty of those who are good customers now. but who would, under different conditions, have still larger means to purchase from every one their own manufacturers included. Protec? tion keeps America from being as rich as it might be. and that is our grievance. Unfor? tunately there is no certainty as yet that a very early return to a more sensible system will take place; though it is a matter for con? gratulation that the attack on protection is so well directed and so well supported as it is. A report like this of Mr. Wells cannot but have great effect; but nations, in such matters, as our own experience proves, find it very diffi? cult to retrace their steps." Tint New York World thinks that the for? tunes of the Republican party will begin to decline from thc moment that thc subjuga? tion of the South seems complete. With tho advantages that the Republicans have, it would, of course, be futile, says the World, "for the Democratic party to begin a new "agitation for the repeal of the Reconstruc? tion acts. Negro suffrage is certain to pre "vail in Hie South "until after the next Presi "dential election; and it is quite certain that "the Democratic party will not make that an 'issue in the next national canvass. The 'Southern black3 will all participate in thc 'next Presidential election; but the Demo "cratic party in the South-will divide thc "negro vote, and control enough of it to sc "cure every Southern State for the Demo 'cratic candidate. By this means, we shall "not only elect the President, but revolu? tionize the Senate even before the terms of "the carpet-bag senators expire. In nil the "reconstructed States, tho first elections "which take place after their admission will "bring Hie Democratic party into power, "and the Legislatures will steadily instruct "their senators in Congress to vote for the "favorite measures of the South." And we can tell the World that the Dem? ocracy of South Carolina will not make "negro suffrage" an issue in the State elec? tions which take place next fall. We go into the tight to win ; and do not court de? feat ! _ A RADICAL correspondent, writing from Columbia, says that the "third party mov "crs" at the state Capital "nave HaU an ac? cession to their ranks, in the person of Mr. "Lathers, from New York, who is here now "(in Columbia) in the interest of Hie Broad "street, Charleston, merchants; and Hint he "has made overtures to prominent Repub? licans." How much truth there is in this state? ment, we have no means of knowing; but if there are any weak-kneed brethren in this neighborhood, wo lieg that, they will look be? fore they leap, and read Wendell Phillips' speecli and Hie "social equality" bill, print? ed in another column this morning. These may give the backsliding brethren an idea of thc dose they will be expected to swal? low. Tim Wilmington Star prints a slashing leader in support of FREE TRAUE, ?is an issue upon which "thc couutry can be rescued .'from the ruinous embrace of Radicalism." But in another part of thc same issue tho Star appeals pathetically, through thc State Legislature, to Congress, for the enactment of "a PROTEC TIVE TARIFF for the benefit and "protection of producers of rice and pca "nuts." This is blowing hot and cold with a vengeance. Under which King, Bezonian? Dissolutions of (EiiHintncrsi)ip. DISSOLUTION OF COPARTNERSHIP.

Wc would Invite the attention of Planters to the consideration of some of thc advantages In the cultivation of SORGO as a Crop, which arc, thc small amount ol' labor; the hardy character of the plant in its ability to endure, without ma? terial Injury, both drought aud wet; its freedom from the attack of worms; its carly maturing, and thc fact that thc Seed and every part of the plant is of great value. In consequence of thc Imperfect method hitherto adopted in prcpuring the Juice of this Cune, there has arisen a prejudice, and the belief that Sugar Could not be produced, but only a very inferior Syrup. But, by the discovery of the Southern Process, these opinions have been com? pletely reversed in the minds of all those who have examined and tested this Process, as they realize that uot only pure Syrup, superior to the best Chemical Syrups of thc Refineries, is pro? duced, bul also Sugar equal to the best New Or? leans, in such quantity, os to make it without doubt, the most profitable crop that can he plant? ed. Of these Tacts abundant evidence can be shown. Any information on this subject can bc obtain? ed by applying to Mr. F. G. CART, Charleston, S.
