SUPPLEMENT Tl D.tiLt PUHL Columbia, S. C., October 17, 1866. Tin- Life ?.r ii State. The Neu York Journal <>/ Com mme, under this caption, hus the fol? lowing forcible remarks: Will any sincere believer in the I propriety of tho position assumed by ('o? i gross towards the Southern States undertake to give himself, not us. a clear explanation of the present po? sition of what is culled West Virginia in the American Union? How cunio New York to be equally matched in the United States Senate by two Senators representing a new State within the boundaries of old Virginia? If secession and rebellion deprived Virginia of her locality in the Union, j of her representation, or right (d' 1 representation in the councils of the ! nation, how could she give that con- j sent which, hy the Constitution, was ; necessary to the erection of a new ? State within her boundaries? No better illustration could lie need? ed than this, of the inconsistency of i the radical politicians. Virginia was j regarded as a State for all their pur- ' poses, but is regarded as no State when they have another purpose to carry out. She certainly is no moro ! out of the Union now than she was ? in the time of war, when Southern armies held her Northern frontier, if . the policy of Congress is to be made j the law of the laud, does it not fol- 1 low, as a matter of coarse, that, the I State of West Virginia vanished out j of existence? How can terms of re- ; admission to th? Union, extra-consti? tutional, bo imposed on Virginia, without treating her as a unit from the hour of her pretended secession? How can she bc kept out of the Union as "a rebel State," without keeping her all out? The only possible an? swer is revolutionary. Some of the more violent radicals acknowledge that West Virginia exists only hythe effect of revolutionary measures, both in that State and in Congres'-, (hie Senator distinctly declared that he voted for the admission of West Vir? ginia, knowing it, to be unconstitu? tional, because the Constitution was suspended by the war, and all things were in a revolutionary condition. But cveu that bold plea for radical legislation was denied by the majority of the radical leaders, and there is no , pretence for it now. All is peace, [ and the Constitution is the only law on which Congress rests for any of its powers. Is Virginia dead because ' the war is ended? Has she ceased to j bc a State because the Southern Con- I federacy is a thing of the past? In the haste with which men follow political leaders, they forget the in? jury done to great principles on which ? the Union rests. It is time to regard : law and establish its supremacy over all the lund, it is of vast importance to the North that thc supremacy of i the Constitution as it is should be once more assured, and that without 1 delay. We drift along from one grand error 1'.) another, and are rapidly , losing sight of the only safe anchor- j age for thc ship of State. Inconsist? encies mark the whole course of the i radical politics. It is not law, but j mad desire for success and power, , which seems to guide the course of ' those who so foolishly accuse the President of "usurpation," while I tliey advocate nothing but usurpa- : ti on. The late reform demonstration at : Manchester, England, was a "monster ? meeting" affair. Mr. Bright made a j very able speech. Ho was severely ; personal to Lord Herby with regard to his political career, and asserted that if the people of Old England i were drunken, ignorant, demoralized, and unfit to be intrusted with the fran- j chise, as alleged by tlie governing ' class, they had become so from the ; effects of an aristocratic rule which ; controlled all the powers of the State ? for centuries; for the people of the ? same stock were moral, educated, happy and exercising the franchise in ! New England, under another form of government. Trousers arc to be actually and ! positively worn by ladies, not exactly ? a lu Bloomer, but to avoid the ex posure consequent on the uso of ? tilters. These trousers will be worn I with lastics at the ankles, not the ' knees, a la Turque. They are to be niado of taffeta, the same shade as the short under petticoats. Pacts vs. Theories. "(?-ive mo a placo to rest my lover : on," said Archimedes, "and I. will j move thc world.'.' "Give mo pare and 1 unadulterated drugs,"said Medicus, j of the olden time, "and T will cure disease." In one sense, both of these learned pundits wove the veriest charlatans. They knew there was no place to rest their lever on. either to move the world or euro disease. Mechanism was in a backward state, and the me? dical profession was but another name for sorcery, ..?.ul all the adjuncts of magic tilters and charms of the "evil ey??," ?Vc. But these: latter days have borne unto us something, more than even superstitntion and its crew ever dreamt of in their maddest philoso? phy. In these days of practical scienco, what was theory of yesterday is fact to-day, and all the old time notions become as babbles in the sun, and burst and break with every breath we draw. Let Archimedes shoulder his lever, and we will find a resting place for it to move the world. Let minc ancient Medicos pant and toil no more for the drugs he so sorely needs, for we have them at our band, ever ready to serve them at his beck. Refined in the laboratory of Dr. Maggie! the finest materials known in the medical profession ave obtain? able by any onje. His bilious, dys? peptic and diarrhoea pills stand un? rivalled, and his salve operates with magical effect upon burns, scalds and all sores and ulcers cd' the skin. In fact, we think Maggiel's pills and salve are the wonder of this century, and we are happy in the thoght that many others of our brethren of the craft agree with us. Wc would ear? nestly counsel that all families pro? vide themselves with Dr. Maggiel's preparations at once, and keep them ready at hand, so as to use t in-in at the nnyst opportune time and as oc? cisi?n serves. -VnUvy -sV/iibiel South Carolina Railroads.
