COLUMBIA: S. C. _ * ~ '> Taesliy ?orning, February 82, 1870. .To Thlae Own Self Be True.'* Tbere are many persons now who seem not a little exercised as to tbe proper programme to be carried out in tbe ap? proaching political canvass. It is ima? gined by some that it is practicable to drop tho ?amo of Demoa'ai, and thus to draw off from the ranks of radicalism a number pf voters. One ot oar cotem poraries speaks of the Scylla of Demo? cracy and [ the , Charybdis ol i radicalism, and advises us to move between these two dangers and thus reach a haven of peaceaud prosperity. These views, in our judgment, involve fatal delusions. They are built upon hopes not to bo realized. They bode no good to the cause that we desire to advance. It is a mi?take to ?oppose that the colored voters will be non from radicalism by snob methods. Ia the next canvass, to say the least, , the great mass of the co? lored voters will cast their ballots for the radical candidate. Wo may as well un? derstand this and act accordingly. If a reaction agaiuBttbe "carpet-bagger" hos begun to dpyelop itself, it is no. .advance towards ns, but it points to a purely ne^rO movement. Wo regard onr duty plfttP. Wo ) want no < itrumpet sending forth an uncertain sound. ' "We want dc cidect v?ows-a clearly-defined line of aution. Aa for ourselves, we make no effort to please ererybbdy. We behove that honesty and plain-dealing comprise the best policy-in politics and ont of politics. Uenoo, we are disposed to say to our friends; To yourselves be true, and then yon oan be false to no one. If yon aro a Democrat, say so, and show that your Democraoy, rightly under? stood, is honorable to yourself and use? ful to the oountry. Wo would say to our friends: Wherever yon can win a Demo? cratic victory, win it, and be not deceiv? ed with the idea that by essaying other means, you will.be enabled to accomplish more- In the last canvass, much was done. In seeking to do more than it is possible to accomplish, we may effect less-iu grasping at the shadow, let us see to it that we lose not the substance. Show us a party without heart, and we will show you a party doomed to disaster. Start a movement that has no soul, and in vain will you try to galvanize it into life and carry it to success. -4 O ? ? Ttic Immigration. (incutlou. Thc general scarcity of farm labor in the State suggests the importance of the snbject of immigration to this State. It is useless to expect from the present regime any earnest movemeut in this di? rection. If tho party in power, or at least, the major part thereof, could have their way, they would preserve this State as their especial camping ground. Ac? tion, therefore, must come from volun? tary associations. As we have before suggested, the Slate Agricultural and Mechanical Society should take this matter in hand and inaugurate a practi? cal, wide-spreud und efficient scheme, whereby immigrants may be iuduced to settle iu this Stale. We invito attention to tho following lotter from Gen. L?e, on this subject. It is addressed to the President of the Virginia State Immi? gration Society: LEXINGTON, VA., December [JO, 18G*J. MY DEAR SIR: Tho question of sup? plying labor to the South is one of vital importance, in which all classes aro con? cerned, and particularly the agriculturist, inasmuch as regular and coustunt work is more necessary to his prosperity thau in most of the other industrial pursuits. I believe this can only bo secured hy thc introduction of u respectable class ol laborers from Europe, for although tem? porary benefit might bo derived from importation of the Chiueso and Japanese, it would result, I fear, in eventualinjurj to the country and her institutions. Wt not only want reliable laborers, but good citizens, whose interests and feelings would bo in unison with our own. State immigration societies, composed of men prompted by the patriotic motive of benefiting the country, would accom? plish this object better thau any otbci mode. Dy introducing worthy itnmi grants, providing for their comfort nm security on arrival, and assisting them when necessary, to their new homes, i sufficient supply of honest, steady, will i tig men would soon be .secured. I believe experience has proved tittil tho practico of employing entire familici produces more contentment aud penna nt?ucy among them, and where a nuntin I are collected into a community upo: neighboring farms, they tire better satis tied and give greater satisfaction. I nm glud to find that this importun subject is claiming your attention, nut I hopo that the Virginia iaiwigrutioi .Society may bo able to adopt a plan foi procuring for the State und such other: ns may co-operato with her, a regula supply of hearty, healthy immigrants. Your plan of providing a depot withii our borders, where they can he recoivet on the landing upou our shores, am where their necessary wants eau be sup plied, is emiueutly wise, and, in ra; opiniou necessary; and I should rcjoic to soe n plan in successful operation, cal culatcd to dovolop tho wealth und ti promote the prosperity of tho South. I have been and still nm an ndvocut if European immigration, but do no seo iu what other wr.y I can aid it. Wit much regard, your obedient servant, R. E. LEE. STATIC LKQIHI?ATUHB. _. -.

Our firemen have, accordingly, procured tho old City Hotel building, and tho members of the Columbia com- I puny will go into barracks there. .'There seems to bo a good deal of ' feeling existing among the firemen with regard to tho manner in which they have been treated by tho citizens whilo en? deavoring to make nrrangHinuuts for the approaching parade, aud they very freely declaro that it is tho last affair of the kind which shall ever take place iu Augusta.
