We have conscientiously considered
all the plans of relief which have been
devised for the people of Sooth Caro?
lina. We have examined the sugges?
tions of the great journals of the North,
Republican as well as Demooratio. We
have felt deeply grateful to them for
their sympathy with us iu our helpless
condition, and have dispassionately
weighed the advice whioh they have
ui_ji_ 4_i_j t> ;? ia
well meant, and as indicating a moreen
lightened and an increasingly liberal
feeling, is profoundly acceptable. But
it falls short of reaching to the coro oi
our difficulties. The length and the
breadth, the height and depth of the
evils whioh affltot South Carolina are as
yet only imperfectly conceived by even
the most intelligent classes outside of it.
And by consequence, the remedies thoy
propose are not such as can bring any
relief within the next generation. The
papers put forth by the convention,
which lately met in Columbia, bnt
faintly express tho troubles under whioh
we labor. And no paper has yet been
sent forth whioh undertakes to show the
stops by whioh they can bo got rid of.
We have stopped short of this aim,
?imply contenting ourselves for the
?present with submitting our case to the
Americau . people. It is now bofore
them, -and, so far, wo have no cause to
complain . of . the way in whioh it has
been received. It has made a profouud
impression, and the pens of able and
?candid men have been,busy in sugges?
tions and fertile in expedients for our
escape. But as we have said, and for
the reasons we have stated, thoy do not
inspire any hope of its early accom?
plishment.
If we turn our view to the prospect of
ao; decided ehange within the State,
we shall find it to depend, first, npon tho
necessities of the better portion of thoso
who control the vote to make for them?
selves a cleaner record before the peo?
ple, and secondly, upon the gradual
decrease, by immigration and iu accord?
ance with mortuary statistics, of the
class whioh sits like an incubus upon
the prosperity and honor of the State.
What can be done withtn the Republican
party, if we may call it by such name, in
the way of amelioration of its evils, is as
yet uncertain. It is not likely to be
much, but even if small, is not to be
contemned. Immigration is a sure aud
certain correction. The interest in it
inoreases every day. Thoso journals at
tho North whinh bav? mnd? if. ?hi>ir
* K% ?>. i.......... f f;wilinrt of 011 T
people upou this sabjeot, have at lust
ohanged their tune. The knowledge of
the good feeling of tho people of the
Southern States towards all industrioiiH
and huuOBt new-comers, of the facts of
the productive soil, varied crops, balmy
olim&te and unparalleled facilities for
manufacturing in these States, is now
common knowledge even in the most
secluded communities of the North.
They know that a warm reoeption
awaits them here, and that the people
here are no less genial than their
climate. Muoh may be expected from
immigration if it oontinuee, but, in the
nature'of things, considerable time muBt
elapse before wo can reap its fall benefits.
A guilty conscience needs no acouser.
A flutter has been produced among ex?
treme Radicals by our articles upon the
removal of the troops. We presented
good reasons for this bb a measure of
peace, aod we shall not tuke the trouble
to repeat them, although they have boea
distorted and misrepresented. It was
to be expected that thoso would raise
thoir voices aguinst it, who benefit by
the corruptions of society, and by that
arrangement of its olasses whioh keeps
down intelligence, culture, refinement
and honor, and only recognizes pro?
perty, in order to spoliate upon it. The
time never will oome when such persons
will be willing to face the people whom
they havo despoiled, maligned and in?
sulted, unless bucked by some power
upon whioh their cowardice and love of
pilfering may lean. If it was left to
thorn, thoy would keep the troops hero
to the end of the century.
A Radioal sheet of this oity indulged,
yesterday, in a long comment upon our
views, in which it would ho hard to suy
whether elaborate nonsouse, reckless
porveruion of our statements, or pre?
meditated falsehood most predominated.
Tho old cry of Ku Klux whines through
it, and tho musical bray of the party
donkey rises and falls in melancholy in?
flections from bogiuuing to end. Its
misrepresentations ban deceive no one,
aud wo need noL nulico them. In one
breath it vuuuts the immense majorities
of its ?party," iu another it uhows u
craven four that vas.tr ua they aro they
ooaUl not protect its "party" leudoia
from popular wrath, if tbeir blue-coated
proteotors should be called away. Bat
oar contemporary may rest assured that
between their own alarm leading them
to rnn and the moderation of the Con?
servatives, causing them only to langh
at the foot-race, they wonld bo safe, and
tho hegira bo both peaceful and success?

MiLLAiiD Fillmore.?The following
is a sketch of the life of Mi Hard Fill
more, thirteenth President of the United
States, whose death occurred in Buffalo,
N. Y., on the 9th instant. Ho was
stricken by paralysis ssvaral daya ago,
on-t Li a Haallt vaaa nnt, nnpTnpntarl;
Mr. Fdlnioro was born in tho town?
ship of Looko, Oayuga County, N. Y.,
January 7, 1801), and was, oouscqueutly,
a little over seventy-fou r years old at the
timo of his death, ills parents wore
poor, bis home a rude and sparsely set?
tled frontier town, and his educational
advantages were of the most limited
character. Ho was taught reading and
writing and the simplest branches of
arithmetic, hut never saw either a gram?
mar or geography until he was nineteen
years old. At fourteen, he was apprcn
ticed to a fuller, with whom he remained
for five years, when he commenced tho
study ul law. Two years later, be moved
to Buffalo, and in order to Btipport bim
uelf?for he was miserably poor?taught
school, rising in the moruing at day?
light and pursuing his law studies until
9 o'clock. The statutes of New York
required seven years' study by appli?
cants for admission to the bar; but
through the intercession of several dis?
tinguished attorneys, he was admitted
to praotioo iu the Erie Court of Com?
mon Pleas, after four years' study, und
settled in Aurora. Alter managing to
support himself for a few years, ho ac?
quired a fine practice, aud worked him?
self to the front rank of bis profession.
In 1826, he married Abigail, daughter
of Rev. Lemuel Power Iu lti'62, he
headed the opposition to Audrew Jack?
son in his district, and was elected to
Congress. Upen serving one term, ho
retired for two years, and then ran as a
Whig, aud was elected?serviug two
terms. Iu CoogreBs, he took but little
interest in the national bank measure?
the leading Whig question of the day?
but strongly advocated Government aid
for internal improvements aud the pro?
tective tariff policy of his party. In
1842, he retired from Congress, aud wus
supported by his own and some of the
Western States for the Vice Presidency,
in the Whig National Convention of
1844, but was defeated. In September
of that year, he was the Whig candi?
date for Governor of New York, but
shared iu the general diohuter which
overwhelmed his party that year, aud
was beaten by Silas Wright, his Demo?
cratic opponent. Iu 1817, he was elect?
ed Comptroller-General of tho State of
Now York. In the year following, he
was nominated for tho Vice Presidency
on tho same ticket with Gun. Z ?ouuiy
Taylor, aud was elected by a largo ma?
jority. On July 9. 1850, Gen. 1'uylor
died, und Mr. Fillmoro neoume Presi?
dent. Iu tbo main, his administration
was able and patriotic. Just before Ina
ueparturo irom tbo capital, be sustained
a heavy blow ,u tho death of hie wife,
who had been his friend aud companiou
in life for nearly twenty-five yours, und
to whom he was tenderly attached. Iu
1855, bo viditod Europo, and was the re?
cipient of marked and gratifying inten?
tion wherever ho weut. Tbo degree of
D. C. Li. was conferred npon bun iu
Fugluud by tho University of Oxford,
but was declined. While absent, the
Whigs nominated him for the Presi?
dency, but that party had then censed
to bo an appreciable quantity iu politics,
and the raoo was between the Free Soil
candidate, Fremont, and Buchanan, Mr.
Fillmore reoeiving the electoral vote of
but one State, Marylaud. Iu 185S, he
married again, his second wife being a
widow?Mrs. Caroliue Mclutosh, of
Morristown, N. J. Since his dofeat, iu
1856, Mr, Fillmore has not mingled iu
public affairs. During the war, he
Hided with the North, as it was natura!
to expect he would do, but there is no
reason for believing that he wm a very
bitter partisan. Iu tbo autumn of 1869,
he was a delegate from New York to the
National Commercial Convention, whioh
assembled iu Louisville, and was eleoted
President of that body. His address
upon taking the ohair received the
highest compliments from the press of
the country. Ho was then an active and
vigorous old man, with ruddy cheeks
and snowy hair?apparently good for
many additional years of useful life.
