[From the (Miu..) Rrpublionn.] ' < An Suapl* tfm South Carolina- 1 We do not often took to South Carolina ' for lessons in political wisdom, but just now she has set an example for every other .State j in the matter of reforming the evil wbioh formed the excuse (or the uprising of the ' late Know Nothing parly. It is a singular evidence of the impotency of that party that, 1 while it carried in its brief day two-thirds ' of all the Statee, it has left nothing upon 1 their statute hooks to limit or eradicate the ' ovils of which It complained. New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Indiana are still without any registry laws, and in Indi- 1 ana even unnaturalized foreigners can vote. ' Yet all these States have, withiu the last two 1 years, been under the rule of Know Nothingism. Even in Massachusetts neither the constitution nor the statute-book shows any evidence of tho real seriousness of the American party. What they did in the first year of their power they undid in the second, aud j now their power is gone. Connecticut fur- j nishos almost the sol? ?? ni inn (Ka A mnr ?.....t. , ican party there haa engrafted a great priti- j ciple "and wise inoasnre upon tho Suite cod stitulion, in providing that no man unable i to read -shall exercise the right of suH'rage. Yet a similar provision was rejected by the 1 first and unanimous American Legislature of Massachusetts- though now, we trust, by Re-1 publican votes, it is to be secured as a part' of the organic law of the Commonwealth. j While such a barren record is presented i by the American party in the States where it burned like a prairie fire, South Carolina, j ! without any such party, without any agita- j 1 tion against foreigners, has quietly walked l I away with the real honors of the war. Wej 1 refer to the enactment by her Legislature of j 1 a law requiring of foreigners a residence of; 1 two years' after their naturalization is coin i ' pletcd, before exercising the privilege of vo-j 1 ting. This makes a period of seven yea a necessarily to supervene between a foreign- ! er's arrival to this country and his coming )( to the right of suffrage, but its great utility j ' lies in the fact that it cuts up, root and l 1 branch, the motive for those frauds and abu- ] 1 ses in the naturalization of foreigners, which, ja more than limited residence required, are j c. the parent of all the evils complained of. Nearly all of that unintelligent class of foreign-: ! ers whoso votes are justly feared by every (, patriot, do not become naturalized of their j own motion, but mainly at the instauce and I 1 expense of the worst of partisan leaders, who l . hurrv them from the courts with their natu-1 1 ralizalion papers to the ballot-box, receiving i c their votes in return for the cost and trou- j ble of naturalization. Remove the two op- j v erations from each other by two years' time, I v as South Carolina has done, and it is easy 11" to see that this gross abuse is greatly cheeked, if not altogether destroyed. Now, in ? Massachusetts and New York, but ten days ' are required to intervene between tho inau nfacture of voters and putting them to ser- * vioo ; make this two years, and the business 1 of the professional manufacturers is gone, i} for they will invost neither work nor money j in the raw material that is not to bo ready 1 11 for use till the end of two years, when, with I*! the migrating character of our foreign pop i ulation, it \? More than likely to be out of 11 reach, or if not, at 'ea*t forgetful of the ob- 11 ligation. South Carolina, it must bo con- [ fesse 1, lias taken hold of this matter at the 0 nght end, doing better even than to extend i tho naturalization term to ten, fifieen, or j even twenty-one years, were that piactioa- t| ble, which it manifestly is not. ! , Connecting this South Carolina provision j* with the pen ling one in Massachusetts to I < requiro the elements of education of the vo- j v tcr, and wo shall have thrown about our i jj ballot-box every additional safeguard wlii??t. 1 c:in safely or justly be demanded. The con- j i stitutional amendment proposed last winter ^ and coining up this for approval, that four-' ^ teen years' residence shall he required of for- ' oigncrs exercising the right of voting, may I o well and wisely give way to this simple, but ; j, effective and unobjectionable provision of ' law, which South Carolina has Imen the first J |( to illustrate and enforce. There is no harsh-1 ness or prescriptiveness in it. It robs noi ^ man of justly acquired rights, hut it lays the t| axe at the root of the tree of evil connected j with tike ignorant foreign vote of the coun- . ll> ! i. I S< The Cabinet. j sj Mr. Buchanan's presence in Washington i a: was the occasion of an infinite deal of specu- k lation and rumor touching the constitution ; In of his cabinet. The excitement will not g subside with his return to Wheatland ; but d until his nominations are announced to the w country* politicians will perplex themselves j with the organization of the incoming Ad-1 ministration. Sagacious correspondents af- | feet to be familiar with his intentions, and i x? confidently assign various individuals to par-' b ticular places. The truth is, however, thatloi Mr. Buchanan has kept his secret with such I1 skillful ictjcence that one person knows no u ukiii tmuuwr, hiks ail lire equally ig- 1 c: norant of his purposes, 'J'ho variety of ru- ti mora betrays the uncertainty of information 1 n in regard to the all-absorbing matter of the1 tl Cabinet. { If this anxious anticipation of the Cabinet a were the result of a patriotic concern for the o public welfare, we might understand the in- n tensity of the interest, though wo could S hardly excuse the indecent intrigue and iin- a pertinent interference which have been em- p ployed to determine Mr. liuchanan'a choice.! I; When, however, it is scon, and the most fi stupid persons cannot fail to see, that the or-1 o ganiziition of the Administration is of inier-! t est to the politicians only so far as it affects | I various individual operations, every right- | b thinking man will nt onro turn in disgust <| from the shameful spectacle, with an earnest ? invocation to tlie President elect to select J his Cabinet in Accordance with the dictates | of his ow n judgment, and in contempt of all: ] selfish suggestion and scheming combina-|i (ion, 'ilury care nothing alamt tlifl person- I al for Us n e# o/ particular itnfit i?lnr?l-?. I hey |< , jgarJ o- ty tw?r iiic-t country ; ami in their judgment it is it mat1 j? ler of the Jfrast possible consequence, uheth | Sf this or that politician succeed in gutticg place, if Mr. Thichanan will only give them l good administration. Sound policy, it i* true, would nnun to dictate the selection of" representative men;w txot if Mr. Huclian&n chooses to-act upon anjthcr principle, the peopls will not quarrel with his appointments. They are confident hat lie will not call any dishonest or injompetent man to his Cabiuet; and for the rest they are content to await the development of his.policy. Whatever the dissatis- ; faction with any injudicious appointment, . Iiis Admitiistratioh will bo judged only in refereuce to its practical results. If it be that he adheres faithfully to the letter and spirit of the platform on which he was elected, he will nut l?c condemned for mistakes in the distribution of the patronage. Ho will , bo tried by the test of principle, und he will be applauded in proportion ns sound constitutional principles shall be illustrate*! in the policy of his Administration. Ou the other 1 hand, no excess of compliment to the South in the dispensation of his favor, will alone ( for contempt of our rights or iiidifferenco to ( our interests. We care for men, so far only as they are taken as a pledge of measures. Ill view of the burden which roola iir?r,n ^ . .WW MJ.V. the President elect?considering that just in proportion as lie selects liis Cabinet from outside influence he will he exempt from the t responsibilities of his position?it is obvious- | Ij tho interest and the duty of tho parly to { allow 11iid the largest liberty in the organization of his Administration. If it be exclti- ' lively his work, in all probability ho will ( encounter less difficulty in carrying out his s policy ; and the event of success or of fail- | ue, he alone will reap the reward or suffer [lie penalty. It is due both to Mr. Buchinan and the country that ho be entirely 1 ineinborrassed in the selectiou of bis Cabi- * let.?Hicltmond En7uircr.
