On a previous occasion, we undertook
to speak of the Democratic party, the
popular strength it developed in the last
Frftiidential campaign and the general
p rinoi pl os it upholds. We propose now
Wallow" lip" "?ie "BUbJeot 'by 'shewing
wheroin lies the essential difference be-.
tween ibis party and the party, that ' has
assumed the name of Republican, but
whioh really represents a |M?Kofo-repub
tioanism. ?.$<> subject is morg,interesting ;
to' the political student than that of thc
history of parties. Ia nil free or pro?
fessedly froo countries, where the people
have a voice in publio affairs, there will
be differences of opinion us to men and
. measures, and as a consequence, parties
will arise; - These differences generally
proceed from cou ll ic tin g views as to the
effbet of certain measures that may bo
proposed, but, .somotimes tho conflict
springs from Opposing opinions as to the
character. of tho government of the'
eountry abd the.' construction to be put.
upon its Constitution. And it may be.
added, that.when this is tho. issue, it is'
then that the lines of demarcation, be-"
tween - tho parties x are most strongly "
drawn. Tullis coutitrx^we"' have seen
par?etfflivide?d fight their battles upon
vario^ftmo^eots, such as tt$*tariff, pro -
teotion;. Americanism, slavery, suffrage,
Ac. Numer?os minor issues have arisen
and. passed away-decid?d or dropped.
But looking below the sur fuco bf "party,
ruovom?nts, ent?rina somewhat into thc
philosophy of tho- matter, it will bo
found that after all, in this republic, the
essential difference between parties has
been based upon opposing views os to
tho true character of the Federal Go?
vernment, and'the. proper direction to
be given to it. Tho fight that Jefferson
made with Hamilton is the'fight that
Stephens now makes with Greeley and
others of tho national behool. This issue
survives the war, and to-day tho essen?
tial difference between the Democratic
and the Republican party-the all-im?
portant issue between them-is this: the
rights, of the States and the federative fea?
ture in our system. We may have Demo?
crats extreme and Democrats liberal;
Republicans conservative and Republi?
cans rad icol, bot still is it clear that tho
essential difference between Democracy
and radicalism is as abo ver stated. And
the Democratic theory, whether it shall
live or die, we have .ever hold and do
now hold, is the theory which alone is
consistent with the grandeur of the
eountry and the liberties of the indivi?
dual. Another theory may prevail, and
in that event we must resolutely move
on and make the most of our opportuni?
ties. But this we do say, that tho present
tendency to absolute consolidation and
utter extinction of State rights and State
lines, under the auspices of the party in
power, should fill the patriot mind with
the worst fore-bod i rigs; and we hold that
no party can propose to itself a higher
mission thau "to drive tho goths and
vandals from the temple which they are
destroying, to preserve tho rights and
liberties of tho people, and to maintain
the rightful authority of the States."
TUE INCOME TAX.-The people may
well be opposed to any mero modifica?
tion of the income tax, if its entire repeal
can be effected. No form of taxation
has proved so obnoxions or so full ol
demoralization os this. A leading North?
ern contemporary says it will not exclude
the nefarious whiskey frauds when wc
say that tho attempts to collect tho in
eomo tax havo been moro fiuitful in pro
duoiug fraud and perjury than any otha
method of collecting the revenues of th<
Government. Moreover, V, is an un
profitable tax, bocauso the cost of col
lecting it is disproportionately large. I
is particularly offensive and unpopular
because of its inquisitorial character
Besides, it is well understood that th'
heavy tax imposed on the incomes o
hard-working people is not a necessity
As the now views, which, it appears, ar
just now finding favor in Washington, g
to show that the expenses of the Coven,
ment can bo obtained from the revenu
on whiskey, tobacco and other luxuric
ns well ns on stamps, thero is no rcaso
why there should not bo avery extensiv
modification of tho income tax.
SAXIAD.- -It is said that hoads of sala
can bo produced in winter in from twei
ty-foui to forty-eight hours, by taking
box filled with rich earth, in which ont
third part of slacked lime has bee
mixed, and watering the earth with luki
warm water; then taking lettuce sect
which has betn previously softened L
soaking in strong brandy twonty-foc
boors, and sowing in Ibo usual way. W

fact, says the Philadelphia Ledger, thc

Hc?Hvas it performed! Aha tearfully

endure it. And bravely does she with?
stand tho gentle Executive's wooings to

The Marion Crescent reviews the course
of the Fedora! Government towards the
peoplo of Virginia, and should the iron?
clad oath be imposed upon the members
elect in Virginia, it holds that it would
be a shameful breach of faith on tho part j
of the Federal '* 1 minis t rr? ti on.
The Marion ?fcrr has a word to soy in
behalf of the wisdom of our youth learn?
ing trades, whenever they show a me?
chanical aptitnde.
Tho Clarendon Pms calls for a meet?
ing to organize an agricultural society
for Clarendon.
The Charleston News, on the proposed
third pnrty movement in South Carolina,
reviews the arguments of the Omnge
burg News, and announces its opposition
to the movement.' The Charleston News
says:
"And wo are asked to turn Republi?
cans and make Republicanism respecta?
ble! This cannot be. Let the Republi?
cans who know and seo the infamy of
their party abnndon it, nod join with the
Democracy in the struggle for constitu?
tional liborty. Wo can givo thom a
hearty welcome. Ami whilo the radicals
strive to keep in power their pot thieves
und profligates and tho .'tag-rag and
bob-tail,' who are useful when a vote is
'wanted and no questions asked;' while
the radicals labor to uphold a system of
public corruption and extravagant waste;
the .Democracy of thq State will battle
for an honest and economical State Go?
vernment; for equal taxation; for tho
protection of all classes from fraud or in?
justice; for tho purification of our courts,
uud ior the cleansing of our Legislative
Assembly. On tho ono sido there will
be Scott and Bowen and the Mackeys,
and Parker and Jillson and tho negroes
Elliott, Whipper, Wright and tho rest.
On tho other side will stand every re?
spectable white mau in South Carolina.
"Tho'respectable Republicans' must
make their own choice. They must
choose for themselves between honesty
and fraud, purity and corruption. Third
party? Wo will have none of it, when
it is plain as day-light that the third
party must bo forniod by tho Democrats,
who alono must bear tho brunt of the
bitter contest. Wo are asked to give up
our ovory political association ; to alienate
our best friends; to array ourselves in
opposition to the Democratic doctrine of
free trade, equal taxation and an uniform
currency, only that wo may, perhaps, se?
cure the support of fifty or a hundred
whito Republicans who, if they aro as
honest as wo believe them to be, must
soon como over and join our political
party. The vhole plan is preposterous.
As matters now stand, a third party in
South Carolina could not and should not
prosper.
The Winnsboro News, which, in its re?
cent issue, filled its columns with "po?
lite" attentions to this paper, now dis?
poses of the Charleston News. It turns
out that tho PHOENIX did not "wait to
follow," but did "dare to lead," at least
in objecting to tho "premature" and im?
mature diversion of the News. We will
say, however, that there is force in what
the Winnsboro News says as to tho f ruo
anti-radical movement. It properly sug?
gests:
"Thc truo anti-radical movement in
this Statu is to lcavo this matter of tho
ascendancy of tho white man quietly to
timo, whilo wc mako such improvements I
in our mixed government as we can. At
least, let all sober men make the effort,
and if it fails, when honestly, faithfully
and persistently made, the re-action in
favor of the white man will surely como,
when co-operation with other States
upon tho great national questions of fo?
reign and domestic policy shall have j:>ar
tially obliterated from tho minds and
memories cf both sections of tho Union
tho bitter recollections of reconstruction
and tho war."
Spooking of its hope, tho News very
candidly says, and tims gives fair notico
to all:
"Our hope of better government, wc
earnestly submit, does not consist, either
in State or Federal politics, in koepiug
the issue ef 'an out and out white man's
platform' prominently before the public,
but in drawing attention to other mat?
ters und in permitting, if possible, thc
whito man's education and intelligence
quietly to make its way to power."
Tho Sumter News sams up thc radical
creed thus:
"Wo understand the radical creed to
be
"First-Look to tho party interests.
"Second-Lay your hands on whatever
you want.
"Third-Oppress thc white people of
tho South.
"Fourth-^Humbug and deceive, the
negroes.
"Fifth-Keep your word only as long
as it suits your interest to do so.
<|at ?ow it ?B ls j adioioue to decide upW
tte specific lin* of action io be JuKjjpptr
pursuod in thia State, says:
"It is our polioy'. then, qitUfly .to

ment of events-and be preparer! next
year to advance with undivided front
upon the position it? which our" enemies
may entrench- themselres. If we differ
ana discusa now, we will not be united,
then; and Union and harmony is essential'
to our success, whether we advance un?
der the banners of Democracy or con?
servatism."
The Yorkvillo Enquirer, with "com?
mendable enterprise, publishes a synop?
sis of the premium list of the State
Agricultural and Mechanical Society,
and calls for a savings bank in Yorkville
pro bono publico-.
Tho Carolina Spartun says:
"The Washington Star, of tho 17th
instant, says that Gov. Scott was in
Washington on th at day, on buaiueas con?
uco ted with distribution of the quota of
arms belonging to this State. We would
be glad to know that a proper use would
be made of .these arms, and that thereby
wo might be vol ie ved ol many of the evils
that um, stalking about over our State,
feeding upon the life-blood of bur peo-,
pie, with oarpet-bags strutted- by their
work of' robbery and thieving. Certain?
ly if there-are a people who need'their
quota of arms,* it is tho oppressed citi?
zens af South Carolina."
The Daily Republican plainly tells the
advocates of. the "third party move?
ment" that there is no half-way house.
If you want to leave your former asso?
ciations, you may como over, but you
must come "horse, foot aud dragoons."
"There is no God but Allah, and Ma?
homet is his prophet."
The Charleston Kens, on thu subject
of immigration, says:
"As yet there is little immigration to
the Southern States; but, day by day,
the cheapness of our land, the fertility
of our soil and tho salubrity of our cli?
mate aro better known. The effect will
be gradual, aud the victory over preju?
dice will not easily be won. It is, how?
ever, certain that, sooner or later, thc
stream of white immigration will flow tc
the South ns it now Hows to tho West.
For tho sea-coast, where tho white mau
cannot safely work, wc shall have th?
industrious and frugal Asiatic. This will
make tho low-country prosper, while the
up-country will bo built np, as wo desire
it to bo, hy the thews and sinews ol
white men."
The Abbeville J'7-css, in some remarks
upon political organization in South Ca
rolina, conenrs fully in the views ex?
pressed by the PacasiX. on tho same
subject. It asks, "why enter into an ac
tive political contest at present, whet
twelve months aro yet to elapso befor<
tho elections come off here, which wil
present any political issues to bo deter
mined by our people?" In tho mean
time, however, our esteemed friend o
tho Press will doubtless see with us thi
duty and necessity of holding up th
hands of our allies abroad and of wagin]
ceaseless war upon the intrigues, cor
ruptions and short-comings herc at home
The Now York Herald says that "th
result of the lato elections shows tba
neither tho Federal Administration no
any other power can make the Sout
swallow radicalism." Certain it is, tba
in the South it will not be digested am
assimilated.

ANDERSON C. H., S. C., Aug. 27, 18G9.
EDITOR PncfiNix: Your journal of th:
date contains a despatch, copied froi
the Charleston Republican, in reforenc
to anticipated trouble nt this place, an
you very rightly pronounced it an exaj
geraliou and all uosb." The origin <
the rumor is simply ridiculous, and tl
trouble really exists in tho prolific im:
ginings of the redoubtablo Investiga
ing Committee. It is said that tho Con
mitteo have been somewhat annoyed b
thoughtless boys, and, in fact, have bet
allowed to hear some uncompl?Eion...i
allusions to themselves and radicals g
ncrally. Added to this, a couple
youths who were before tho Committe
on onth, refused to answer questioi
propounded by n colored member. 13
youd these facts, there is no earthly re
son for the cowardico aud knavery n
hinting the Committee in sending for tl
State, Constabulary. Gov. Scott nc
havo no fear of au "out-break," unie
his own peculiar "pots" bring it aboi
and often enough since tho Comniitt

those Catholic times, no fear of tin

supposed to preside over this portal o
Fate. To say tho most successful wisher

only repeating a truism which everyday'
