EDTTOB PHONIX: Frcodom of opi? nion and of speech, liberty of con? science, and tho right of choosing and being chosen to office, aro tho great cardinal principles of all free Governments. They constitute the chief corner-stones in the political fabric of American liberty. Striko down one of these, and tho whole structure falls at onco to the ground. Deprive tho citizen of either of theso essential elementary rights, and you take away the life-blood of his free? dom, and sever the tie that binds him to the political body. The principles just stated, imply that every free Government must be founded on the consent of the governed. Tho peo plo being the primary sourco of all power and authority, the form of government which they are to adopt, and the laws which they are to obey, must meet their approbation. The approbation or sovereign will of the people, which thus gives validity and force to the Government, must find expression in the mode pointed out by the fundamental law itself. When a people rise up in their strength aud abolish or alter their Governmont by force and violence, they exercise a revolutionary right which is iudced inherent in them; but is only to be resorted to when all other methods of redress or reform have been tried and have failed. Tho great object of govornmeut being the protection of life, liberty and property, that form or system which secures tho fullest enjoyment of these primary and essential rights to every member ot the commonwealth, may be consider? ed the most perfect. But there is no subject in which men have, iu nil ages of the world, differed more in opinion than in this, and hence tho wars that have disturbed the peace of nations, and desolated almost every land beneath the suu. Tho Ameri? can will contend that a Republican Government is the best that human wisdom has over devised-that his is the "best the world ever saw;" while the Englishman olinga to constitu? tional or limited monarchy as his choice; and the Frenchman, or Ger? man, finds his security and happiness under still another form. We should never forget that thero are two sides to every question, and that while we, espousing oue sido, aro fully con? vinced that we are right; our neigh? bor, looking at the matter from a dif? ferent stand-point, may he equally and as honestly persuaded th nt ho is right. The man Who claims for him? self all tho -wisdom and patriotism in the State, and calls those who differ from him fools, knaves and traitors, certainly^betrays great ignorance and ?u?iy. jae is a very apt illustration of the truth of tho great poet's pithy line?: "Man, proud man, clothod in a little- brien* authority, Dava auch fantastic tr?eles before high Beavan As make tho angels wcop." Such thoughts npd reflections passed through my miud while reading the address of Mr. Simeon Corley, of Lexington, a nominee of the Repub? lican Convention for Congress, to the voters of the Third Congressional District. This is a remarkable docu? ment in its way, and to those who are unacquainted with thc antecedents of its author, it will certainly seem sur? prising indeed, that such a paper should emanate from thc pen of n native South Carolinian. If I did not know that he is n descendant, like myself, of a good old German ances? try, who havo never manifested cruel ty toward anything except snakes, mosquitoes and bed-buds, I oould noi help but believe, from the intolerant and vindictive tone of this address that he was tho lineal off-spring o those famous Puritans of New Eng land, who hung inoffensive Quaken and poor old men and women whon they supposed to be witches. Hi: blood seems to bo up to the boilin; pitch, and ho is determined to heaj as much abuse and vituperation upoi his opponents us possible, if he can not have them all hung. It is not my intention to attempt ; reply, in detail, to tho violent diu tribes and fierce philippics of Mr Corley's address, for I have ucithe the time nor thc space to do so; bu I desire to show that some of th positions he has assumed, are fais and untenable; and to refuto som of thc groundless and unwarrantabl charges he makes against tho con servativo or Democratic party in th State. And in attempting this, shall not condescend to indulge i vituperative language, or apply or probriou8 epithets to even bitte opponents. With a singular forgetfulness c the facts aud teachings of history Mr. Corley makes the broad assertio that the Confederate cause nev? would have failed, if it had bee right-that it was an unrighteou cause, and that was thc reason wh it was overthrown. I would ask hil whether the cause of Poland, whe she struggled for liberty, was not just ono; and yet, she was ove powered and crushed by her forinn able enomies; tho noblo Kosciust fell, and Pulaski and his compatrio went iuto exile. The cause of m happy Hungary was a just one; bi notwithstanding the eloquence i Kossuth and the sympathy of Erj| laud and America, tho independent of thc unfortunate nation was blott? out. Similar examples might 1 multiplied, for tho pages of histoi are full of them; but these are sn ficient to show that it is not eve: good cause, not always truth ai justice that triumphs, and that oft< might, and not right, prevails. Tl South may have made a mistake appealing to the sword, but that do not prove that the principles of co stitutional liberty for which she bf tied, were wrong. Time alone w decide that question. Another false and un warrantai ground taken iii this address, is tl gratuitous assumption, HO flippant used by the destroyers of the Cons tion, that the leaders of the South n traitors. If they uro traitors, wi have not some of them been tri and convicted of treason? Why h not Jefferson Davis, the chief, be tried. Mr. Corley would have us believe it is "tho unparalleled leuic cy" of the Government that has ke them from thc gallows. But the tm is, they could not bo convicted treason, if accorded a fair trial und the Constitution. If tho leaders ? traitors, those who followed the and supported' and sustained th? by every moans in their power, mi bo ??..lif^iva too for "ll who volt tardy espoused tho cause of t South, must be equally guilty. Wh a whole people, comprising the ch part of the population-not of c State only, but of many Statof traitors? Who ever hoard of sue! thing? Such a monstrous propc tion cannot find a lodgment in n trne American breast. No one bu puritan or fanatic would entertain for a moment. Mr. Corley makes a bid for i entire colored vote in his District, telling them that tho conservative Democratic party is exclusively whito man's party, and that negroes aro not permitted to join the Demo? cratic Clubs, tn making this asser? tion, he Ts either ignorant of .tho principles and aim of the Democratic party, or he intentionally misrepre? sents tho tacts. I (to not snow of a single instance where a colored voter has been excluded from the "club." If he applies in good faith, he will be certain to bc received. Gov. Perry and Gen. Hampton, and other lead? ing men in the Democratic ranks, are ready and willing to give the ballot to the colored men in the State, under proper restrictions; but they are unwilling to give it to bim under Buch circumstances as will cause him to work his own dostruotion and the injury of the white race with it. The Democrats are not seeking to produce an antagonism of the races; but, on the contrary, they nrs taking the only effectual step that eau prevent so direful a calamity. I cheerfully accord to. Mr. Corlej* tho merit of sincerity in the views he entertains. A man who has breasted the opposition that he has, must cer? tainly be sineere and desperately in earnest. I give him credit, too, foi having worked his way up to hit present position from the ranks oi the laboring class. If it ever was r doctrine among sensible people ic South Carolina that labor was dis honorable and degrading, (which maj hove been the case in the salt-wate; region, for it is an idea that alway; prevails where a large amount o I wealth is accumulated to a greater o: less extent.) I agree with him, that ii ought to have been exploded. I an ready, also, to make all due allow ancos for whatever deficiencies o education and character he maylabo under-for it is to those deticiencie: j that T attribute mainly those vagaric in politics and idiosyncrasies iu mo ' rals and religion, that have given hin j the unenviable notoriety which h j has acquired. It may bo that Mt j Calhoun ignored benevolence as a con stitnent principle in some of hi political theories, from the neecssit of the thing; but Mr. Corley ignore common sense in his system. Clain: iug to bo a Republican, and willin to accord to every mau equal right: he entirely ignoras tho opinions, ser timents and wishes ol' three-fourth of the white people of South Care lina, when he would thrust upo them a Constitution und Governmon which they do not want, and wi never willingly adopt. His deiinitio of loyalty is adhesion to the radic? party, and the man who dares t question thc wisdom or policy of an measure of that party, is branded i disloyal, though he carries ou h persou scars of houor and lidelit won in defouco of the Constitutio and the Union. It is idle to argt with such uicu; they intend to sui vert the Government formed by oi fathers, and they look upou all wh will not assist them iu their unhn lowed work as traitors. No ono more ardently and sincere] desires the restoration of South Ci rolina to her proper placo in tl Union than I do, but I waut it to I a restoration in fact as well as i name. It will be entirely useless I go back in any other mannen. The are good and true men cnoug throughout tho country, North ai South, to bring about a satisfactoi and permanent settlement of tl difficulties by which we are envirouc and in duo time it will bo accot plished. Let us do our duty, trnst God, aud bide our time. CATO. ?-???-?
