COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning, June 15, 1870. Th? lietter of Col, J. H. Rion, on tue "Balance of Power.1' Our readers will find in another co? lumn, a letter from Col. J. H. Eton, whioh will be read with interest. Col. Rion is a true Carolinian and a discreet oitizen, and as suoh, we invest his views with inuoh consideration. We are free to say that we are in entire sympathy with muoh that Ooh Rion says as to our proper policy. We have been decidedly of the opinion that it was our policy, in this State, to continuo our Democratic organization and ase oar power as best we might. We heartily agreo with Col. Rion in this and also in his views as to the point of not courting tho negro vote. But another viow seems to bavo prevail? ed and the reform movement was inau? gurated. As a movement in tho right direction-as a mode of political activi? ty-we have fallen in, and now we are for pressing the movement to its best consummation. The "balance of power" programme is no part of tho reform movement. It would have been, per? haps, a part of a Democratic programme. But anyhow, we do not concur with Col. Rion in the programme of abstention as to the Governor and Lieutenant-Govern or-ship. Wo deem it a matter of great moment to ventilate, on the stump, in a canvass, the administrative, executive, and legislative, of our public affairs. As we bavo before said-let the corruption, fraud and rasonlities imputed to public men in South Carolina, be proved or disproved. Let us in this behalf have tho "devouring aotivity" that theFreuch Minister recommended. Tho beasts of prey are in the PRESERVE of this State. Let ns send the bunters forth, and put some active Nimrods in tho field. We agree with Col. Rion in this, also, that it becomes ns to exercise- a becoming forbearance towards our political oppo? nents. As for this journal, it has never indulged in this indiscriminate denun? ciation, and we are free to admit that in the ranks of the Republican party in thin State, there are doubtless good and honest men. Whilst we do not claim that all of "Demooracy" ia right, we do not affirm that all of "Republicanism" is wrong. But we presume that Col. Rion will concur with us in tho proposi? tion that Republicanism in this State hos a heavy load to carry in the person? nel of many of its leaders. IMMIGRATION AND DIRECT TRADE. -As an evidence of awakening interest in the direction of white immigration to this State, we print tho following 'etter, re? cently received by William M. Lawton, Esq., of Charleston: No. 194 DUKE STREET, GLASGOW, 24TH MAY, li>70. To the Hon. Secretary of (he Immigration Committee, Charleston, S. C., United States. SIR: I seo by the Anglo-American Times, that you aro arranging to moke offers of land at cheap rates to emigrants. Please furnish mo with full particulars and maps of the lands you have for sale. We waut good tillage and pasture lauds, at a cheap price, in healthy districts. Yours truly, (Signed) CHARLES SCRIMGEOUR. Upon his return to Charleston, Mr. Lawton addressed the following letter to tho Chairman of the State Committco on Immigration : CHARLESTON*, June 10, 1S70. Col Wm. L. Trenholm-DEAR Sm: On my return to the city, yesterday, after a short abscuc in tho country, I found the enclosed letter from Mr. Charles Scrimgeour, of Glasgow, recoived by mail. AB it intimates a desire of parties in Scotland to emigrate to and find homes tn this State, appropriately, it appears to mo, a reply is for the action of your committee. Such communications eminently inte? rest and deserve the due consideration of our people throughout tho State; and I deem it proper to bring tho subject pub? licly to their Dotiee, and solicit tho press to publish the letter, and at tho same time, to solicit from the Country Agri? cultural and Immigrant Associations tho necessary answers about lands for sale, location, price, iCa, for information of your important committee. I also enclose some hints regarding the reception and disposition of immigrants, which I found in a Northern paper; they may provo useful to the Immigrant Com? mittee when the work is fully commenc? ed, ns I do flatter myself wc can turn some portion of the tido of immigrants, oro long, this way. With tho aid of the proposed lino of steamships to Charles? ton, nil difficulty would be obviated. Yours very truly, W. M. LAWTON. MEXICO.-A late lotter from Mexico gives tho following striking but deplora? ble picture of tho condition of affairs in that country: "From every direction tho news of violonco and robbery has been received. The besom of destruction ia passing over our neighbors. Men who bavo toiled and economized for years to acquire acompetence, aro beggared. Tho work of an hour has wiped out tho gain? ings of a life-time. There are now hun? dreds of ruined and dosperato men, who, three days ago, woro independent. They arc ready for anything. Tho agricultu? ral movement will bo seriously retarded, if not fatally affected. All tho industrial pursuits will suffer greatly. Commerce will bo moro paralyzed than over before. Business will becomo stagnant." MR. EDITOB: Ia oa editorial of tho 11th inst., referring to the policy ad? vised by me, you say, "We would be pleased to have the scheme somewhat explained." I will endeavor to do BO, bat the limits of a newspaper communi? cation will not, of course, allow me to do more than briefly give the maia ideas. The Virginia third-party Boheme will not work here. Let us keep up the organization of tho Democratic party in this State. We can constitute no other party, even in natue, howmuch soever wo may endeavor to do so. We are De? mocrats; let us call ourselves such. This name furnishes tho only real line of division between our friends and our foes; and is the name of tho party which, sooner or lator, will ovorthrow the radical party in tho United States. While wo look forward to this redemp? tion, wo ought to u?o what power wo have as effectively ns possible; and while we need not play the sycophant, yet while our baud is in tho tiger's mouth, wo ought to ir ri ta to the animal as little as possible. Wo must bear in mind that ia the State, as a whole, in three Gongressioaal Districts, and ia twonty Counties, we are, for some time to come, ia a hopeless miaority. It is hopeless, because de? pendent apoa the color of tho voters. That it is so dependent, (except ia a few iastaaces where the high intelligence or iategrity of the colored citizen enables him to declare himself a political free? man, emancipated from the slavery of the leagues,) any seriously reflecting mind must admit. No courting of the colored vote has the slightest effect. No exposure of villainy on tho part of the radical officials hos tho slightest effect. The colored voto is deaf to anything utter? ed byan honest white Democrat. Hamp? ton, Thomas, and others may talk them? selves hoarse, aud all they may have said can bo wiped out in one minute by some petty lying scalawag. Declarations that wc will in good faith abide by tho 13th, 14th and 15th amend nu nts, can do nc good; for they meet such declarations with a sneer. What are we, theo, to do? Preserve our party organization, and while at al times we may be ready to interchange views with intelligent colored citizens cease courting their votes. It makes then shy ofT. In tho eleven Counties when wo bavo a majority, elect our men; thii will give us the check when n two thirds vote is required in tho Legislature In the one Congressional District elec one of our men who bas no pol?tica disabilities, who eau tell tho story o our wrongs at Washington. In all Stat elections, in tho other three Congres sional Districts, and in those Couutie where wo are in a hopeless minority make no nominations, und act as *' balance of power party." At the first elections the authority c the leagues may prevent tho Rep?blica party from running two sets of cand dates; but ambition and the sel lis principle will, as soon as they seo we ar in earnest as to runuing no candidate of our own, certainly cause influent^ "independent" candidates to come on Then wc can select the more honest au best qualified, and by throwing ot balance of power in the scale, elect tl one wo favor. From that election oi as long as we adhere to the polioy, vi will control matters, just as the Abolitio party did in many of tho Northoi States year after year. Our vote will 1 courted, promises will bo made to u and measures of State Government an Legislature will bo shaped to retain ot vote in the next election, by those i office. "But suppose no split is made?" Th supposition, except at the first election involves the abolition of tho selfish ar ambitious principle. But if no split made, wo can vote or not, as wo pleas and we lose nothing. We gain in preven ing agitation, aud in taking away fro tho radical leaders, tho motive for e geudering bad blood between the race and of using the militia a la Tennessee The foregoing is certainly our prop polie}', while awaiting redemption I the slow changes of tho mortuary ai immigration tables, or by tho hurlii from power of tho present national dc potism by the great Democratic party the country. Tho greatest difficulty in carrying o tho foregoing programme (for which claim uo originality, sinco many of tl best men in tho State entertain tho sac ideas) is, first, tho disincliaatioa of t! chivalric South Carolinian, with his hi| spirit and high sense of honor, to pt suo any lino of conduot that savors policy; and, second, that we have amoi us too many aspirants for office, and t many that are ambitious of the houor even a nomination toa prominent ufih This difficulty may, however, bc ov( como by a little plain talk on the part our leading men. The Convention that meets on the IC instant, can initiate this policy, by int ing no nomination for the olliccs of G vernor and Lienteuaut-Goveruor, a declaring that they witt make no nomi) lion daring the canvass. If it men makes no nomination and adjourns wii out such a declaration, the possibility its subsequently making a nomiuntic will most effectually prevent an j* split the Republican ranks. The Coaveati cannot produce a split, but if it does i definitely declare its policy to be, not make a nomination ia any event, it v prevent a split. If any Republican, of such inte genco nod integrity as would justify ( support, can carry thc votes of ten tin sand of his party, wo can easily elect 1: Governor. It will not do for us to noi nate one who we suppose would ca such a vote, for our nomination wo effectually kill him with his party. As a part of the lino of policy poin out, wo ought to oxorciso forbeara: towards those of thc other party. WI we may denounce and expose rascality, we must not-assume, much leas declare, that to be a radical, is necessarily to be a rascal. I believe there are honest men in the Republican ranks; and the sooner this is generally admitted, the better. A little conciliation, with less violence of denunciation, would have saved some Counties the evils they now groan under. Let us remain Democrats; let us re? main true Carolinians; but at the same time, let us remember that honor and policy can consistently be blended. Yours respectfully, JAMES H. RION. Til? Convention of 15 (li June. Mn. EDITOR: It is by no means neces? sary thnt anything like mero opposition to Gov. Scott, or his party, should enter into the nominations that may be made. It would bo much better to nominate Gov. Scott himself, if his administration had given assuranco that ho accepted of? fice for tho good of tho peoplo. They will not be satisfied with any nomination that does not give this assurance. They must know tho man, and believe in him, or it will bo in vain to expect them at tho polls. A nomination which aims at di? viding the radioal party, and causing it to war against itse'f, will securo nothing for South Carolina; for no snako is fool enough to bite itself. Depend upon it, that the "party" will take care that the colored vote will be cast for Scott, aa it was for "Whittemore. They can do it, and it will most certainly be done. It is a delusion to believo that auy member of the Republican party can tlivide tho vote, for tho colored people look upon it as suicide to disobey ortlors. There will bo a goodly number, intelligent enough and honest enough, to see and abhor the present conditiou of tho State Govern? ment, and to unito their voices with tho good men of the country, in crying out for the necessary reforms. But there are white voters who are to be drawn out also, and it should be remembered that the experiment of Dunn against Whitte? more does not encourage the belief that tho result between different names will bc at all different. If the Convention should decido to make a nomination at all, let us make a square fight of it, and put up ono of our own native citizens, whoso past record has proveu him to be above all the temptations which the pos? session of high office can present. This is the honest way to act; there is nothing ill-natured about it, but simply an effort to put the right mau in tho right place. Such a spirit is commendable at all times, but particularly so now, when tho de? mand is for reform. It cannot be had by causing a collision between two Re? publicans, as rival candidates; and Judge Carpenter is too intelligent not to per? ceive that he is principally wanted on the field as a gladiator, for the special pur? pose of demolishing Gov. Scott. This is not the proper motive with which to put forward a candidato. There should bo no resentment to gratify, but simply an honest wish to substitute for Gov. Scott the name of some individual, well known to all tho peoplo, and who we be? lieve is morally and intellectually fitted for the place. All that we ought to do is simply to put in the Exccutivo chair an officer whom we can trust without re? serve, and whose antecedents furnish the assurance that ho can speak of South Curoliua with sincerity when he calls it his "beloved State." Wo have heard that language from strangerslong enough. Let us hear it from ono of South Caro? lina's own sous, and the ring of that metal will wake the echoes in the great heart of the people. Wo aro not so stu? pid as to behove that any stranger can suddenly givo his heart to a strange land, moro especially when that heart is found beating in unison with tho unholy efforts of Whittemore for re-eloction, and di? rects official orders in such manner as to make measures of St ato pander to the arts of a candidate who, Gov. Scott well knows, is highly offensive to the people in Washington, as well as in South Caro? lina. It is unfortunate for us that we have to look for a substitute for Gov. Scott, at all. It would have been better for us had he exhibited those traits of character which would have commanded even the respect of his enemies. If, however, he has misunderstood or evaded thc duties of his high position, thero is no alternative but to find for him a suita? ble successor. There may bo a failure ia tho effort, but all good men will wish it success, if directed singly to that end. Just at this time, even tho radical papers at tho North aro unsparing in their de? nunciations of thoso who fill tho offices of this State. Their true characters aro gono forth to tho world, and we will have the sympathy of the bast friends of good government if wo put forth ono of our fellow-citizens worthy of the trust, for we think oven his defeat would only ren? der thc victorious candidate and his sup porters more odious. RUS. A few days ago a Spanish despatch from Havana announced that thc Cuban expedition, which sailed from New York two weeks ago, on tho steamer George B. Upton, had been captured. Letters to the Tribune and New York Sun an? nounce that tho expedition was safely lauded on tho coast live days before the force which the Spaniards say captured it, left Nen vitas. Tho men and arms taken out by the Upton were undoubt? edly well in the interior beforo the Spaniards knew of their arrival, and this reinforcement will bo very welcome to the insurgents.
