COLOMBIA. Fi?day Morning, January ll, ?8G7 Thc Ko-< ;>i:< ,1 I nion Party. If ever there was a misnomer ap plied to any political party, it is thal assumed by the faction that now go verns tho country. They claim pea excellence to be tho Union party of thc country, and that they are the only true loyal citizens to bc fontal in tin land. But two years have nearly, elapsed since thc attempted separa? tion of the Union was defeated, and during that time tho Government oi thc United States has boon supreme, and no let or hindrance to the execu? tion of its laws.' The legislation, ol tho. radicals has had full sway, and yet, tit thc present writing, tho coun? try is as far, if not far! irr. from being united, than it was the day tho armies of tho late Confederacy grounded their arms lo tho superior numbers of the armies of tho Union. Not ojie step towards tho re-union oi Ehe States bas been taken by thc party who bas absolute control in thc councils of the country. On tho con? trary, every act, every measure pro? posed, has indicated tho purpose of keeping ten States of the Union, anxious to renew their allegiance to tho Government they vainly endea? vored to overthrow, out of any part or lot in the affairs of that Govern? ment. Tho result is as natural as effect fol? lows cause. Tho whole labor system of tho States which produced thc staples that, in old times, were the sources of wealth, is now utterly dis? organized. Capital refuses to como to tho rescue so long as our political relations aro so disturbed and so un? certain for the future; the manufac? turers of tho North and East arc be? ginning to realize tho effect of the policy and legislation of this so-called Union garty, and tho whole material interests of the country aro crippled. Besides, sectional animosity is fostered iu every conceivable way by those un? scrupulous mon, and lying and gross misrepresentations are the instrument? alities they use in their aggressive crusade on the rights and liberties of tito people of tho unrepresented States. Respect and reverence for the Constitution and tho teachings of the founders of the Repub? lic have disappeared. In the old State House in Boston, fif? teen years before the separation of thc colonies from Groat Britain, was uttered the celebrated watchword of liberty--"Taxation without repre? sentation is tyranny;'' and yet Mas? sachusetts, to-day, stands in tho front rank of that party which imposes upon ten States of tho Union the most onerous* and unjust taxes, but denies them, itt the face of all ap? peals for re-union, representation in Congress. And now they propose to impeach thc President for faithfully adhering to the Constitution; they propose to abolish thc Supreme Court or remodel ii so that it will pronounce, favorably on their abomi? nable measures; and they propose to territorialize tho excluded States. As a Northern cotemporary says, never before in our country's history^ would any political party, however strong, have had tho audacity to proclaim sentiments so flagrantly treasonable in a moral sense, if not in a legal one. Such is the so-called Union party of thc day, and yet the people of that section whose interests are as much injuriously affected as those of any other, look on those bold movements on the part of reckless partisans with stolid indifference and culpable apathy. Ii' matters progress much lo?ger as they arc now progressing, these people will have a fearful awakening. -. <. ^ - THE PAP.OOMN;; PO WEI: W THE PRESIDENT.-The Act just passed by each branch of Congress to deprive tho President of tho pardoning power, repeals tho following section of the confiscation Act: "SEO. 13. And he ?fur (lier enacted, That tho President is hereby author? ized at any time hereafter," by pro? clamation, to extend to persons who may have participated in the existing rebellion, in any State; or part thereof, pardon and amnesty, with such ex? ceptions, and at such time and on such eonditous. as ho may doom ex? pedient for thc public welfare." Aldibaran, thought to bo thc best runner, next to Kentucky, in Ameri? ca, has been beaten in New Orleans by Harry of tho West, a six year old. Politic? vs. Material Interests. Tho Nashville Union and Dispatch, after reviewing thc political condi? tion of tho South, gives-the subjoined tdvico to tho Southern people. There arc .sonic truths in the suggestion made, for we look for but little im? provement in the various depart? ments of Southern industry, until our political equality in the Union and our just participation in tho affairs of Government uro fully re? stored to our people. What the Southern p< -plo can do in effecting this desirable . rc d<> not clearly seo; but, as on evious occasion, wo think it wise and prudent- for them to keep posted on the progress of events as they transpire at thc seat of Government. They can at least watch and wait, in thc path nt trust that tho right will ultimately prevail, even in Congress: "Wo call attention to these gloomy facts to make a suggestion, which will take issue with the advice offered by those of our Southern contcmpo raries of the press and others, who . teach that it is thc true policy of the ' people of the defeated Ejection to de- I vote their exclusive attention to what ! they call Southern interests-which moans that they shall abandon all in? terest in political subjects, and forego all desire or expectation of partici? pating in thc conduct of Govern? ment, and rest consent under what? ever form may be set above them. The material condition will languish as long as the people aro politically prostrate. It was under tho benefi? cent institutions that we lost in the fortune of war that we prospered. ' We cannot thrive until ve regain them. No amount of energy and industry ca-u reinstate us, unless wo aro a free people. Our resources will bo expended in tho hewing of wood and the drawing of water for our political masters. Wo must attain political equality, in the Government before we can resupply our lands with laborers, (whether white or black,) at living rates, before wo can restore our financial credit, before, wo can protect ourselves against the cunning schemes of those who have undone us. While, therefore, wo do not ad: vise that every man should quit his office, his counting-room, his farm and his work-shop, and turn politi? cian, wo do. think it the duty of every citizen to inform himself of current events, and take an intelligent and active interest in measures concerted to regain the full measure of his po? litical rights. It is a duty he owes to himself, to tho community suffering in common with him, and to posteri? ty. The re-establishment of these in their full vigor will be the first and great step towards the resuscitation of our dilapidated material condition, and with them in due time will come all that was wont to make us inde? pendent, respected and proud. Wo lost all when we lost political equali? ty; wc shall regain all when that is restored." ---- EDGEFIELD DISTRICT.-After a pre? amble, setting forth that numerous outrages had been perpetrated in that vicinity upon the persons and pro? perty of freedmen and white s, a num? ber of the citizens of Saluda Regi? ment, Edgefield District, have signed the following resolution: ''Resolved, We, a part of the citi? zens of Saluda Regiment, hereby bind ourselves, in consideration of tho facts mentioned in the above preamble, to unite our energies to ferret out, prosecute and carry before tho Courts of tho country, any and all men who shall hereafter bo caught stealing, robbing, or be associated with those who are apprehended in tl i commission of such au act; or in the killing, shooting or beating of any man, white or freedman; and.we here? by sign our names as a pledge upon our honor to assist in carrying out this resolution." -i FENIAN AFFAIRS.-It is said that Fenian President Roberts will issue an address in a few days, calling upon the Irishmen of America to unite now with the only organization extant that is competent to achieve the in? dependence of Ireland, and that there is no longer any excuse for those who profess to love Ireland to stand in a hostile attitude to men who have proved, by their past action, their honesty and devotion to the cause of their suffering country. Somebody writing from Now York city announces that there is no longer a standing invitation to lunch on fri caseed oysters, and pledge every? body's health in the nectar known as I Clicquot. People don't scatter dia i monds quito so freely- as of yore. Importers find velvets a drug, and ladies who go shopping ask thc price of laces instead of jumping into the investment. J Tlio trial of tho guerrillas confined j at Frankfort, Kentucky, for robbing I the railroad trains, commenced at tho special term of tho Circuit Court, which convened at Louisville, on the 7th instant. They will be first tried upon the charge ol' murder, and then, the commonwealth failing to sustain I tho charge, they will be tried for j robbery. Kentucky. Governor Bra miette has sent in his ' annual message to the Legislature. I In noticing this document, the Lou-| isville Caurier gives tho following synopsis -of his remarks op thc con? stitutional amendment: Upon the constitutional amend- j ment, the argument' is not only ex? cellent, but it is profound, and will strike every reeder with its clearness and force. He lays it down ?is a fact susceptible of the clearest and mest satisfactory demonstration, that the | present Congress, with the Reprc sentatives of ten States excluded from their seats, has no authority to sub? mit amendments to the Constitution to the people, and proceeds to estab? lish his proposition. He quotes largely from the Constitution in sup? port uf his arguments. His point is, that thc Constitution authorizes amendments lo be submitted t-> the States or to'State Conventions for! ratification by two-thirds of each House of thc Congress, and he asks, "what- i-t the Congress?" Upon the answer to this question, the whole controversy hinges. The Constitution makes a Congress to consist of a Se- : nate, and House of Representatives, j '.The House of Representatives shalt | consist of members chosen every se- ! cond year by the people of tim seve? ral .States," and "the Senate shall be composed o? two Senators from each State, cJiosen by the Legislatures th'TOof, f?>r six years,7 &c. Two- j thirds of a body so constituted must ? concur in submitting amendments. The fact that thc ineuibc rs elected, or i any portion of them, arc not permit- j ted to occupy their seats, does not : affect thc fact that, in the language of ? tho Constitution, they vere "chosen," i and if "chosen," they constitute ti part of the Congress, and must ba counted as a portion of the two-thirds necessary to give legality to the sub? mission of a constitutional amend? ment. They do not take the oath to make them members of Congress but because they are members. The oath does not make them members, but it is thc election which consti? tutes them such. To show that the j Constitution did not intend to assert | that two-thirds of a majority of Con? gress was two-thirds of thc Congress, j the Governor refers to the difference in the language of the Constitution on Mle subject of impeachment, which provides that "two-thirds of thc members present," shall be com? petent to make a decision. This dif? ference in language would bc a very remarkable misuse of words, if it were not intended to represent a dif? ference of conditions in the two cases referred to. "Two-thirds of the Con? gress" and "two-thirds of the men present" mean two different things, and it cannot be otherwise fairly con? strued. Two-thirds of the members "present" are sufficient to act lawfully in cases of impeachment, but it re? quires "twevthirds of the Congress" to make valid the submission of a constitutional amendment. THE TniAii OP ANDREW JOHNSON. The National Republican, the special organ of the President, in its issue of the St-h instant, has the following pa? ragraph upon the impeachment threatened by the ra :'.cals: "A member of tho United States House of Representatives, who, a few years since, was charged with cor? ruptly using his office as a member of the Committee on Territories, i arose in his place, yesterday, and pre I scnted 'articles of impeachment' I against Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, for corruptly using his office. It appears by our report, that the Committee on tho Judiciary is 'authorized' to investi? gate the subject. Why did not this Territorial-Surveyor-General Ashley, who offered this bill of indictment against Mr. Johnson, provide that the committee should bo instructed-a term usually employed by honest men engaged in a work of Christian patriotism-and not use tho weak, unmeaning word 'authorized,' which, to a Congressional committee, is just whaS they may choose to interpret it? Let ns have no mockery. If Congress means to enter upon the grave work of impeachment, let the trial progress with some degree of respectability and dignity, and then the people will understand that their representatives arc in earnest. If Congress does not mean impeachment, but is engaged in a work of buncombe, announce the fact, and no longer paralyze the whole business of tke country. An? drew Juhns< n is ready for trial!" -??-*.?-?-. A Republican editor says: "Thad. Stevens c tight to be toasted by the whole American people for his fidelity to Republican principles. " Yes, that is true", he ought to be toasted on a fork over a hot fire. But better leave the business to Satan, rather than impose such a task upon the "whole American people." The Journal of Commerce, of the 5th, says: "We are informed that the telegraph lines were worked direct from Hart's Content, N. P., to New Orleans, La., and various other points ! in thc States, during Thursday even I ing. Conversation was cairied on ' with as much rapidity and ease as I over short distances. " I An exchange assures us that pour : iug cold water on the faco aud head dostroj's the effect of narcotic poisons. ' V girl poisoned with laudanum in England was saved in this way, after j all other remedies bad failed. CORPOREAL, PUNISHMENT. -A Wash? ington telegram says: Thc bill introduced into the Senate a few days since by Senator Wilson, providing for the abolition of cor? poreal punishment in the States lately in rebellion, contains one remarkable feature not lound in any bill or reso? lution hitherto presented, and is in the same spirit with thc announcement of Mr. Stevens in his speech day be? fore yesterday in advocacy of the bill to provide loyal State Governments for the South; that, although lie President was Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, Congress wa ; bis commander, and, please God, he should be made to obey. In Mr. Wilson's bill the following words <>e cur:-"And he (tho President) is hereby authorized ?UK! directed io instruct the officers of tho army ami ol' the Freedmen's Bureau to prevent the infliction of corporeal punish? ment in the future." Tho custom bas been to authorize and request the President, but it would seem that Cougress was becoming fearful that the President would not execute laws of this.character in good faith; hence they deem it necessary to command ii.-n tl law! Tar. LATEST RECONSTRUCTION PRO- ! CRAMSIE. -Tlie Her,<l.t's Washington correspondent gives the following as j che latest reconstruction programme: "lt is stated this afternoon, ripon unquestionable authority, that the | leaders of the majority in Congress 1 have agreed upon a programme for tho present session, in so far as the Southern States ure coi cerned, and that it embraces, first, Lue ratification of the constitutional amendment by three-fourths "of the States represent? ed in Congress; "and, second, .the re? organization ol' tile recusant Sintis by compulsion. Thoadoptiou of the amendment by the. Legislatures ol the Slates wiil he completed, it is expected, by the 1st of February, when measures will bo immediately carried through in Congress, looking to the governing of the South by the military arm." The Louisville Journal says that a lady of that city has examined all tho latest fashion reports and visited all the principal milinery stores, to pick out a winter bonnet. She reports as tho result of her examinations that ther?; aro l ow eighty-six different styles of bonnets, ali fashionable;but there is not one. of them Hutt a sensi? ble lady, who wishes to guard herself against cold and neuralgia, would wish to wear; but then they all wear them, for "omi might us well ho out of tho world as out of tho fashion," you know. VERY LIKE A CANARD.-Tho Mow York Herald rfas the following item, which is rather fishy: "John C. Breckinridge, the ex Secretary of War of the rebel Con? federacy, is reported to have said that the magnanimity of the North is un? paralleled, and that he was astounded at thc blindness and maduess of the South in not accepting the humane and merciful provisionsof the consti? tutional amendment." PHYSICAL ENDURANCE. -Tho New York Tribune says: "The rebel States have adopted a j do-nothing, accept-nothing policy, and professing to have no voice in the matter, except to tire the loyal people into accpiiescence in their original demand for representation without any conditions, and irre? sponsible control over the futuro of tho blacks. Probably we can stand it as long as they can." The New York Keening Express, says: "Upwards of 2,000 immigrants from Europe arrived at this port on New Year's day-nearly all of them in steamers. The passage money, iu the aggregate, must be a handsome sum; but ii all goes into the cotters ot the foreign steamship line-radical high tariff legislation, for the benefit of Thad. Stevens and other iron mongers, compelled the withdrawal of all competion on the part of the steamers carrying the United States flag." It will bo recollected that at the last session, the House Judiciary Committee made a partial report on ! the complicity of Jeff. Davis in the plot to assassiuato President Lincoln. They intend to continue their inqui? ries, and to summon John II. Surratt before them the moment he arrives here, with tho view of taking his tes? timony in the premises. It is deem ! ed best to do this before he is brought to trial. An u ii k n o vv n mau was f o u n d ly i n g j in tho street in New York, on Wed ! nesday morning, insensible from ex i posure, and a sagacious horse, was I removing thc snow from the man's i face with his nose. j A favorite colored servant-tho ' coachman-of Col, J.

It is stated that rubbing "0 ecne oil will cure rheumatic Two distinct shocks of an carth [Uake were felt in the town of Wheat? land, Rochester County, New York, on the Tth instant, and also at Cale? donia, Livingston County, the first at 5 p. m.-, and the second betw< i n <S and 9 p. nr.

CoLtJtniA.-Ono of the editors of- tho Charleston News paid a recent visit to our city, and ho thus speak:} of her condition and futuro prospects: "Columbia is tho centre of several rail? roads, all of which bring trahie to her market, and although her facilities aro somewhat cramped at present, yet lhere is no danger that she will Vie. left behind in tho march of time. Tho Columbia and Augusta Railroad, which is now in courso of construction, ft is anticipated, will do much for the city, and will add to its re? sources in the futuro. Other projects aro also entertained, which are to sharo tho beneficial result of bringing increased trade and activity to the city, and thus afford the means of rebuilding lier ruined streets. This is no Rip Van Winkleish ago, and Columbia is well aware that she must^ exert herself in order to prosper. Her merchants are energetic thorough business men, and, with her futuro in their hands, our capital will toon be rejuvenated, and become once more the pride and boast of the people." There is a bright fnture before our city, if capital, mereantile energy and industry can bo brought into full play to aid her resuscitation. A liberal ped icy, especially on tho part of capitalists and merchants, wil1 bo the great lever in raising her from her present prostrate condition.
