CQLrir?BtA, S: C ?>. Sunday ^ oin inp, Jone 26, 1870. fcj A Hew Party. Wehearmuoh of Into, says tko Savan? nah Republican, of the formation of a now party. Upon that subject, under the above heading, we find the following in the New York Times, one of the ablest radical j ou rn ala in the Union: A disposition is continually being manifested in various quarters to attempt the formation of new political organiza? tions; ostensibly in the interest of some new scheme of reform, but really-as is invariably discovered upon slight inves? tigation-to subverve personal ambition. It ia o favorite delusion with many that great parties eau be formed like clubs, or similar social organizations, and that it is. only necessary to set up central figures and a "platform," and that fol? lowers will eagerly rally around them. Long experience has shown this to be a great fallacy. Deliberate efforts in that direction are pretty BU. o to miscarry, provided there is not a broad and eutii oiently important policy behind them and oven then - a strong organization is secured with the greatest difficulty." These are some of the obstacles in the way of forming a new political party, even when tho necessities of the country require it. It is the gradual work of years, and comes not so muoh from any special effort in that behalf, as from the natural falling together of people who agreo in principle and policy. Parties form themselves upon the principle of assimilation. The idea of going delibe? rately to work at this day to get ono up to take part in the next Fresideutial election, is the sheerest folly. It must be fought out by the existing political organizations. They represent the exist? ing policy and antagonistic opinions; the lines are distinctly drawn, and tho peo? ple of the United States must settle down on one or the other. We speak, of course, only of national parties. A most extraordinary concur? rence of events has disturbed thu regu? lar order of things in some of the South? ern1 States, and rendered independent local organizations absolutely essential, as measuros of self-protection. Wo would not be understood as condemning these; to the contrary, they meet our hearty approval, and, we think, if wisely managed, they can be controlled to groat public good. In 1872, when the great national struggle shall como off, these local parties must, for the time being, at least, become merged in one or the other of the great national organizations, ac? cording as they may assimilate in senti? ment and policy. But this is a m it tor for future consideration, and will come up at its own proper time. As regards tho necessity for a new party, so far as the opposition to radi? calism is concerned, we confess our ina? bility to see it. So far ns we kuow, while the national Democratic party may not go as far as some poople in the South would desire, it is vory certain that it holds no principles and sots forth no policy that every conservative man in the nation may not consistently sub? scribe to. They advocato not ono measure that the old Whigs ever opposed at any time in the history of their or? ganization, and certainly sensible men and patriots will not allow themselves to be thrown into the opposition by a mero name. Democrats are as much to-day the .champions of old Whig and State Bights principles as tho Whigs over were, and hence no partition wall should exist between them. The issues that formerly divided the two parties have long since ceased to exist, and while tho Democratic party has preserved its namo and organization through all vicissitudes, it to-day is the representative of no prinoiple or policy on which tho two parties would not have stood together twenty years ago. It is now fighting the friends of consolidation and tho enemies of free government-the only party that is fighting them-and all patriots, North and So^lh, and wo will add white and black, should rally to thoir standard and save the country if possible. Ou the sooro of policy wo may say a word. Some are of the opinion that tho Democratic party will not bo strong euough to avail against the inferna powera that now have possession of tho Government. If they aro not, it is very certain that no new party yet to be formed can bc. The party that has cm blazoned on its banners the rights of tho States, popular supromacy, equal privi? leges to all and no proscription, and can carry Now York by 00,000 majority, is both good onough nnd Btrong ouough for any Southern man to "tio to." ALREADY TAKING TO WATER.-Tho Charleston Republican says that Gov. Scott "dooms it inconsistent with the proper disohnrge of his responsible du? ties to take an active part in the cam? paign." Thia is very sudden dignity. Thus far it has been known that he has takou a vory "active part." Another Version of tko M?tt?r-. Tb At Rmlieul Dtmonttrution. The correspondent of tho Republican, writing from Columbia, give j its version of the radical meeting held to counter? act the Reform movement. The writer referred to estimates the crowd at 1,200. It seemed to us that about 300 persons were present, and many of these were attracted by simple curiosity. The affair was tame. One of the crowd was constantly calling out to the speaker, I "Tell it, tell itl" Wo might suggest that if the half had been told that these orators might have told, this same en? thusiastic hearer would have cried out, "Tell it no/, toll it ?o/ in Oath, publish it not in Askolonl" The Hon. Solomon H?ge-the would-be law-giver-was the first speaker. Ho i ipressed all as a sim? ple demagogue, catering to the passions and prejudices of the ignorant and un? informed portion of his colored audi? ence. He made desperate efforts nt earnestness aud eloquenoe, and his vocal spasms were no doubt as painful to Mr. Hogo as they were observable by the crowd. He said, in conclusion, let every man be judged by his record, and we thought how he would like that part of his record which made him a Judge wiihoutlaw, and a Congressman with a ma? jority of over 3,000 votes against him. Nor can we forgot how he is represented once to have said that ho would liku to get all "the niggers" in afield, so that he might open upon the crowd and slaugh? ter every mau of them. Mr. H?ge sat down after venting his abuse upon Oen. Butler. Wo turn him over now to Adjutant-General Elliott. The next speakers woro Messrs. Dun? bar and Worthington, who indulged in spread-eagleism, waved the star-spangled banner, held np tho "brutal slave? holder," eulogized Gov. Scott, and stood up for country, not forgetting them? selves. Mr. Worthington called himself "a recont importation." He told cum paigu stories containing phrases more strong than classic; attempted lofty flights of eloquence; quoted Shakspcare, and sat down apparently satisfied that he had mad o a brilliau effort. He told the colored men: "To yourselves bo true," ?fcc, and we are satisfied that if they carry out his injunction, they will disposo of his claims to feeding in this South Carolina pasture, whore so many "imported" steeds aro now grazing and filling their capacious paunches. The next speaker was Mr. Reuben Tomliuson, who made by fur tho most sensible- and reasonable speech of tho evening. Mr. T. had to acknowledge that there was much to reform iu his party. Ho waa morally satisfied that there was not a little of corruption therciu. But stealing, ho seemed to think, was peculiar to all parties, and as to the Reform movomont, he preferred to let his party do its own reforming. He doubted tho sincerity of the Reform movement, and dopartod so much from his usual temperateness of speech as to suggest that the roformist to stealing which thoy did, would add lying, which he seemed to assume they did not. As to Judge Carpenter, he thought that those who live in glass houses, should not throw stones. He seemed rather to doprecato any chorges entering into the cauvass, and gently threw out tho suggestion that tho canvass be con? ducted on Quaker principles, and ou the idea that no honest, good boy ought to toll tales out of school. Ho wanted it understood that the Reformer? had Btruck tho FIRST blow. He gave several reasons why tho radical party ought not to be displaced from power, but failed to give tho loading ono, to wit: because it was a matter of bread and moat, and oomfort and wealth to a horde of hungry carpet-baggers and insatiato office-hold? ers. The last speaker was Colonel Shivor, "to tho manor-born." Tho Colonel, on his return to Carolina from a prolonged absence in Washington, was gratified to meet such a body of his follow-citizons. All he had to say, was that ho intended to support the regular radical candidates. The speakers were introduced by the Right Honorable S. B. Thompson, who did tho blowing of the occasion, vocal as woll as Presidential. Calls were mado for "Delaney," "El? liott" and "Nash," but thero was no re? sponse from either; and thus the tame affair was confined to tho carpet-bag fra? ternity mainly. All of the speakors seemed to admit that their party did need roforming, but they wanted it understood that they would make all that right. Wo fear, however, that they might go on this principle: "Let those now steal, who nevor stolo hoforo, And thoao who always stole, now steal thc more." Theroforo, the Reformers hold that the "coin is spurious," and intend "tc nail it down." Tb? Fresh New England Idol. The Richmond Dispatch, roforring to the introduction of Chinamen into Now Ec gi au d, says: "So the negro haebeen praised-so he has been exulted above the white man abd s? he has been used. And yet, when they wanted to overcome the white jour? neyman shoe-maker, they came not hore to procure the admired negro to help them, but went 2,000 miles farther after tho Chinaman, agreeing to pack him up when ho dies, and seud him back to China to ho buried. He is HO cheap, so willing, so quiet, and don't give trouble -making shoes aud living in a little box. Oh, incomparable Chinaman! 'We are sure,' they add, 'he is moro useful than the negro!' "And this is the latest little game of New England.- They are introducing into the lund a new element for the deg? radation of labor, and by and by they will shove it off upon us of the South, and raise a new hue and cry against Southern cruelty to the laborer-auother mourning outburst for the poor slave in chains and misery, hoeing with his slit ears and back plaided with the soars made by Now England cow-hides. "Sincerely we trust that a check may be put upon the importation of China? men into New England. We know they will spread from that pandora's box of OY?B; and whatever New England may say of the Chinese, comparing them with the white race to its disadvantage, wo know it ?B not true. A more filthy, obscene, lying race of mankind lives not upon the globe; and labor, the vital source of tho greatest po'wer of the body politic, cannot be more degraded by any other race on earth. We want labor in the hands of the best type of mau, and and none other; and wo trust this little game of avarice may be soon ended."

A STRIKING JPioTOBE.-In tho Reform Convention, in the course, of bis admi? rable speech, Gen. Butler said: 4'Now what are the issues before us? On the one side wo ?ce a long, dark line; on the other an array of pale faces, in hostile antagonism, while all around us are political vultures, flapping their wings and gorging themselves upon tho carcasses that fall beneath their blows. That, sir, is thc picture, und no mau iu South Carolina can deny it." The same speaker remarked: ''We must adapt ourselves to circum? stances, and the circumstances which exist impel you and me to a course of action which, in a certuiu degree, makes us turn our backs upon tho past. We have to grapple with events, and recog? nize things as they are. No mau hus a right to violate the law, unless ho de? termines upon revolution, and that is the fundamental principle which under? lies this platform. It sets forth thut such and such acts have heon passed, and are the laws of the land, consequently, that it is our duty, ns citizens, to recognize and obey thom in good faith, truth nnd sincerity."
