COLUMBIA, a C. Saturday Morning, January 29,1870. STATE RIGHTS SHORT OF SECES? SION-THIS NOT LOST TO THE COUNTRY. We have taken the ground that the gravest feature in radicalism is ita policy ol centralization, and that the beet feature of (he national Democracy is its udher enoe to the rights of the States. Intaking thia ground, it is not to be assumed that we are reviving a doctrino which the sword of power decided against us. We do not deny that State rights, in the light of nullification and secession, has been settled against ns. This it is that forms a leading element of the "lost cause." < The late great war was fought upon the question of secession. That was lost. But the point made by us is this, THAT SHOUT OF NULLIFICATION AND ?SECESSION, TH EKE IS A MOST VALUABLE nODX OF BIGHTS Y?HICH HAVE NOT ?EEN 8URBENDBBED HY THE PEOPLE AND TUE STATES. This is the State rights to which weding. This is the State rights to which New York, Ohio, California and other great States cling. This is the State rights for which we contend in iCommon with a large body of the people North as well as South. This question is not sectional. It is national. It douches the country from its centre to its circumference-from its limits North to its limits South-from its limits East to its limits Weet. The New York Journal of Commerce, one of the moat influential papers in the North,, takes ground that is identical with that taken by the PHONIX. It agrees with us that the great national issue to be made with the Bepublican party is upon ita consolidating, centraliz? ing tendency. It agrees with the PHO Nix, also, in this, that tho Democracy must accept what has been decided, and address itself to new and living issues. The fact of the matter is, that we have a right to claim that the policy of this journal, since it took its stand in April, 1868, has been steady and consistent, and that time has vindicated the sagacity of its counsels. Standing midway be? tween the extremes of a too exacting Democracy, and sternly opposing the outrages and extravagances of the radi? cal party, we have moved on logically to our present stand. Our present is the natural sequence of our past. THE DANGER OF THE TIME. We have again and again condemned the leading feature of radicalism, which, ia a broad, national point of view, is de? votion to the doctriue of centralization. This view we have frequently urged. At the North, wo would oppose it, be? cause of its consolidation feature.-its effort to strike down the judiciary and the executive, and to absorb within its Congressional majority all power. At the South, we oppose it, for this, but also for other features, equally objection? able. We are glad to find our views con? curred in by that able and influential journal, the New York Journal of Com? merce. We copy the following article from it. Long as it is, it will be found to repay perusal. The Journal of Com? merce says : "THE DANG EH OF THE TIME.-With merely factious opposition to the ruling party, we can have no sympathy. It proceeds, in almost all cases, from poli? ticians, whose only ambition is to turn out the 'ins' and take the Oovcrnmcut .spoils themselves. We would fain be? lieve that the radicals do many things from a sincere belief that they aro right and just, and would hope that, in the end, some of them will prove beneficial to the oonntry. So fair and moderate and disinterested a view, in which the claims and interests of parties are subor? dinated to those of the conntry, no par? tisan Democratic politician can, in tho i nature of things, take; and, therefore, j it is no cause of surprise that the Demo? cratic State Conventions of New Hamp? shire and Indiana, recently assembled, should have found nothing but occasions for severo criticism and denunciation in tho acts of the governing party. Tho effect of these broad, wholesale censures upon the policy aud conduct of tho radicals will hardly be what is expected by the authors of them. Old party alli? ances are, and should be, still further broken up, and it is the height of folly for tho Democrats to undertake to fight new campaigns on old issues, which the peoplo have already decided. Tho object of that party, representing, as it docs, the nuoleus of opposition, should bo to detach the more independent and con? servative of the Republicans from the connection that they now hold. The Democratic managers understand this well enough, in theory, but they fail to incorporate it in practice. To*particu? larize a single example of their want of tact and adaptiveness: They do not, in their platforms, bring into suf?cioutly bold relief the paramount evil of thc doctrine of centralization. Thia is a new doctrine, invented, patented and enforced by tho radicals. It is tho foundation principle of their policy, as developed from time to time iu Government mea? sures. It is distinctively anti-Democratic, antl-Ropublicnn aud auti-American, of? fensive to thc pride and dignity of States, aud must, sooner or later, make itself odioui to grout masses of met: who now ?ote -with the Republican patty. For thenreaant. we.observe ita effects chiefly on tap ftathefp nnteqi?tatflnot?? States, which aro rolel froija JvaahiogWa ah ?J rod ol'iron, its mejpileesly ?tf$eldfjp. a? that m Ibo Oat of Kassia ore? the.aub-' jacta of his duj?ant prov?nose. The out rage opon th? Georgia Legislature, the whole conduct of Congress towards Vir ginia, (which will probably culminate in the upsetting of all that she has done to get back into the Union,) in violation of the most solemn pledges, are the latest oroppings out of the centralization move? ment. The focal point is Congress-and that ia the most alarming thing about it. The leading spirits in the soheme in the Senate and House are gradually absorb? ing the powers of the Executive-so that he is already bid a passive instrument in tlieir hands-nnd they clearly aim to monopolize, also, the functions of the Supreme Court of the United States. Controlling the patronage of the whole Qovernment, and dictating the judicial decisions-having nt their back and com? mand vast multitudes of beneficiaries and tools all over the country-they hope and expect to insure their re-election ?icr petually. Centralization is but another namo for a ring, composed of the radical master politicians, to whom the humbler mem? bers pay fealty and receive their reward. It is insatiable, and must continue to grow in avarice and insolence, until it extends its baleful effects over all the States of tho Union, or is broken up and forever overthrown by an indignant peo? ple. When the South is reduced to a perfectly submissive and helpless state at the feet of the centralizers, and her Le? gislatures do only what they are ordered to from Washington, then will come the turn of the Northern States-and there the shoe will pinch. From dictating to Georgia and Virginia, Texas and Missis? sippi, there will be but one step, and that not a long one, to issuing and exe? cuting mandates upon the Legislatures of New York, New Jersey, or any other Northern Democratic State. The prece? dent of turning out a Democratic repre? sentative from Kentuoky and installing a radical in his place (for no earthly reason except thal the former was accused of having sympathized with the rebellion) may bc as properly followed in tho case of a member elected from any Northern State. Congress has fully as much power to do it in one instance as the other. If the people of New York should, some year, have all their Democratic Congress? men scat back to them, and their seats given to the radical contestants, they would then appreciate the power and ty? ranny of centralization. But wo would have them find it out and combat it be? fore it has made such progress. To ex? plain its evils and fix theattentiou of the American people upon the immediate ne? cessity of overcoming this fatal principle, should be the main duty of the opposi? tion. It will not suihee to refer to it iu a word and then dismiss it, as the New Hampshire and Indiana Conventions did, but tho greatest stress should bo laid upon it. Old grievances and buried and forgotten differences should be passed over, and a rally uttempted to bo made of what is left of the spirit of true Re? publicanism and Democracy, of Ameri? canism and freedom, for tho rights of the several States within their proper limits against this enormous and all-grasping despotism of centralization. It is now the weakest and most nssuilablc point of radicalism, but if allowed to remniu un attacked, will soon be built up into the strongest part of its system. lu a cam? paign properly begun aud vigorously carried on for its downfall-putting no other motto thuu 'anti-ceutralization' on the banners, we believe that the Demo? cratic putty could rely on she .support of largo numbers of those who now general? ly act with the Republicans." - ?-???-? TUE SOUTH CAROLINA, ELECTIONS.-The Baltimore Sun gives the following report of the debate in tho House of Repre? sentatives on Monday, on the South Carolina election case of Wallace, radi? cal, against Simpson, Democrat: The House then took up the contested election case of A. H. Wallace vs. W. D. Simpson, from the Fourth District of South Carolina. The resolution of the majority of thc committee declares that Mr. Wallace has tho prima facie right to the seat. That of the minority declares neither entitled. Mr. Burdett, of Missouri, addressed tho House in favor of the majority reso? lution. Messrs. Randall, of Pennsylvania, aud Burr, of Illinois, argued in favor of the miuority report. The discussion was further continued by Messrs. Cessna, of Pennsylvania; Bowen and Whittemorc, of South Carolina; Stevens, of Ohio; Burdett, of Missouri, nnd others. Tho question was then taken, first upon tho resolution reported by the miuority of tho committee declaring neither Wallace nor Simpson had the prima facie right, aud which was offered as an amendment. The resolution was i adopted-yeas 103, nays 73. Mr. Kelsey, of New York, then moved : to lay the resolution as amended on the I table. Rejected. Tho question then recurred upon adopting tho umcuded resolution, pend- j iug which Mr. Whittemore moved to adjourn. Rejected-yeas G8, nays 100. After some further tilibusteriug, the resolution rs umcuded was tabled. "Oh! what an excellent Tonic," is the language of tho invalid who uses HOLO- ? MONS' BITTERS.
