COLUMBIA. Snaday grains, July 14,1887. ?I?? P?st, Prcgont and Future. Wo aro well aware that the preju? dices of a lifo-timo aro not to be era? dicated ia a .day, or in a year, and it is still moro difficult to eradicate them when they are strengthened, concentrated and increased by having supcradded to them thoso of fore? going generations, transmitted as re? gularly to each in succession as here? ditary estates and titles in European Governments; but it must be remem? bered that we are living iu a revolu? tionary ago--au ago of progress-and under a Government whose birth? right sprung not from royal descent or genealogical privileges. The Go? vernment of the United States was .founded by tho people, iu wisdom and upon sound principles, .and the man is a dotard who deiiies to the people who framed the Government the right'to : change, altor or amend the rate? ?S*r?i??ma4iation, so long as the fondamental principles of its organization are not ruthlessly .uprooted. ?nd in this position do the people of the Southern States-a portion of tlife people .of the United States-find themselves to-day. Wo desire to speak plainly, without passion, and without any intention to reflect upon I the uprightness of motivo or honesty | of purpose of thoso who havo thought, and who may still think, differently. But wo also claim tho right of au opi? nion in this matter, and - a calm sur? vey of the past and present, divested of thoso prejudices to which we havo referred, wo feel convinced, will show that wo are right. The people of the South revolted against the Go? vernment of which they were a part, and-to which they owed allegiance.' This revolt was not because of any I unwarrantable or oppressive viola- f tion of tho fundamental principles upon whioh that Governmeut was fouuded. No other justification of the revolt was offered, but tho elec? tion of a President aud tho elevation of a party to power who wero pre? sumed to bo hostile-hostile to what? | Why, to tho institution of slavery, aud intimately connected with that institution, the doctrino of State so? vereignty nnd State rights. This was all, and no more. The President was elected and tho party carno into power, justas all other parties preced? ing it had been successful, iu con? formity to tho requirements of thal Constitution and by tho will of the [ people, and nb one, oven at this day? can deny the truth of this statement, j It is history. We think now, as wc j thought then, that the mere appre? hension of coming evil was no tenable ground for revolt, or putting into practice tho abstract right of seces? sion, or the exercise of what was deemed the high prerogative of a sovereign Stato-to withdraw from tlie union of States which constituted the Government. , So much for the past. The issue was made,1 and the institution of slavery, tho doctrines of State rights and ?tato sovereignty, aud the politi? cal theories taught nud inculcated by Southern Statesmen, were thoroughly expunged from tho codo of American politics by tho will of the people of the Union, even when they had to enforce that will against their fellow countrymen at the point of tho bayo? net. The people of the Southern States mado the issue, and thoy are ' bound to abide by its results. They have professed to do so-they have returned to their allegiance to the | Government thoy had abjured, and, as far as tho formality aud obligation of oath can make them so, they are, as a people, os good citizens of the United States as thoso of any other section of the Union. They have] sworn to maintain the Constitution and obey tho laws of tho United ! States, and boyond this, wo know of | no other qualification for citizenship. But what, then-what have we gained? asks some caviller or stickler for the dead theories of tho past. We will tell yon what the Southern peo? ple havo gained, even in their defeat. They have gained fame and renown os a bravo and gallant people; in the spirit of true manhood, as a brave people should do, they have promptly submitted to thc decree of adverse fate recorded against them by the ampire of the sword, to which they had appealed; sinco that submission, also, like brave men, they have exhi? bited patienco and endurance, under] the most exacting terms required of I -mun, III nu. ' ' '.H.t.rrri. thorn ; And have fi tted and qualified theniaotvoo, ifii^MWfrw^tQ r*? enter th? Unioji. This ia theiv posit tion, nhd a nobler record of any peo? ple wRj?never?'wri.tteu by historian or But what then? asks again the ca? viller. Simply this: The terms and condition of re-union aro proscribed, and prescribed by the authority of those who have the right to prescribe them-the representatives of the peo? ple in .Congress. We may think and do think-these terms harsh and exacting, yet, if Southern fidelity to obligations of allegiance is worthy of its name cud ancient, well-merited repute, then are the Southern people, if they are not enacting a stupendous farce, bound to comply with them. Having done this fully and nnequivo colly, if they are still rejected as rightful claimants to a participation in the Government, they will have the consolation of knowing that they have done all that men could do, in the dischargo of duty, and in un? swerving lovalty to all tho claims of honor and patriotism. Thus have we sketched the posi? tion of tho Southern people at the present juncture of their political affairs, aud that it is a faithful sketch, wo think, cannot bo gainsnyed or controverted. Their duty, therefore, is plain, if their professions of ad [ herence to the Constitution and laws 1 of the Government aro worth thc paper they oro written upon. That duty is simply to comply with thc laws, register and vote iu conformity to tho terms prescribed. The South' ern mau, who can do so, who fails tc register and vote, will justly be holt' responsible for all tho evil:; that maj follow from such'ii palpable derelic? tion of duty, as a eitizeu of the Statt aud of tho United States, whatever forms these evils may assume-whe? ther they bo what is contemptuously called "negro government," or : general agrarian auarehy. If sud evils should befall us, they will b? the result of a criminal indifference to the welfare of tho Commonwealtl aud oommuuity, to gratify a falst pride and selfish prejudices, on th< part of those who pertinaciously cling to the past, accounting theil obstinacy ns an evidence of patriot ism. If there be any better way to se cure restoration and peaco to ourdis tracted country thau that we advise, let it bo pointed out. If tho polio; be inaction, that policy should hav< been adopted at the beginning. Ou: State Convention to abolish slavery to repudiate the Confederate dob!., ti elect Senators aud provide for tin election of Representatives to Con gross, ought never to have bcei called together. But, having don all this, and complied with other rt quiremeuts of the President of th United States, iu order to get bac into the Union, we made greatt sacrifices, as a people, than any w are called upon to make now. Afte having made these great sacrifices, i is folly to stumble at minor obstaeh in the way to reconstruction. Th people of South Carolina, in Coi volition assembled, abolished slavery repudiated their war debt, and st lemnly abjured long-cherished polit cal doctrines and theories-and fe what? To be re-admitted to tl Union. Every sacrifice they coul make was mudo then, and it loot like childish querulousness or obst nacy, at this late day, to try to mal mouutaius out of mole-hills, ar throw away for naught the immeni sacrifices already made, iu their c forts to regain our position in tl Government. Wo invito our readers to refle upou these considerations as wo ha' presented them. Wo havo be? identified as journalists with tl South aud her political principle and especially with tho politic tenets and doctrine? of South Car linn, for roany years. We are iden fied with thom still, and what \ have written in the present artic emanates from a sincero conviction duty and au earnest desire to save o State and section from prolong suffering and from years of sorrc and disaster, which must inn vi tal be their fate, if the present opport nity afforded them for resum? their responsibilities as a portiou the Government, and recover: their rights and privileges uuder is neglected. It is now positively known that t State Department will wait furtt developments before formally niovi in Santa Anna's case.

A Series of Prayers, Meditations and Selectious for the "Home Circle." By S. P. Godwin. J. P. Lippincott it Co., Philadelphia. This is the title of. n small but very ueat volume, which has just been laid upon our table. It is what its title imports-"heart-breathings" and we think it well adapted to foster a spirit of devotion and of entire de? pendence npon Divine Providence. Tho prayers are simple and chaste, yet elegant, in their style; and ex? press, in humble and fervid language, the soul's desire for a more complete and perfect union with its Lord. The very presence of such books is j refreshing, and especially so during a j time of trouble like the present, when all earthly hopes seem blasted. We very heartily commend "Heart Breathings" to the attention of our readers, sincerely believing that its use will do good and help the soul iu its aspirations heavenward.
