Thla la tbo bora of tbo dilemma the 1 people una ?o bare ohoaen In referenoe to the late reooaatraotioa measures of Congreaa, aad We would M**atap tbwa in tbia poaitioo. The leading Confederate Generate bare gleen their eiewa and adrloe in anpport of tkUMorw. Vow. if ?raU| uould no expected of the Supreme Court, It might do to wait, at leaat a little, but to expect a thing from that eon roe, la, we think, the greatert of folly. After a fltfnl ferer, the Booth wante reat aad repose, and in the names of one hundred thousand South Carolinians, who bare not for Months tasted meat, we say, is South Carolina able to endure distraction and confusion any longer, or be annoyed by unoertainty aad anarchy f No, no; let us go forward and aequL eeoe in the laws of the oountry; and when the time arrlrea, select the best men we can for the 8tate Conrentioa. Congress and the lead log men say that thla is the finality. Let us not as though it is so?it is the beet that San be done; aad when the States resume their old planes in the Union, we will start anew on a earner of prosperity nerer dreamed of before. There ean be no turpitude in snob coarse. Gen. Javu Lwiituit mji that the surrender of tbe Confederate armies in 1161, lo* volred the surrender of tho claim to the right of seoession ; tho surrender of tho formor political relations of tho negro, and the surrender of tho Southern Confederacy. If all of these are gone, what have we to do bat to obey the laws of Congress T The tetll-bting of the shunt of the ptoplt requires that the States get back into the Union as soon as possible, and upon the best terms procurable. The disfranchisement of some of onr loading men ismuoh sorer than tho Vifranehisement of the negroes, to us; but the terms presented us are the best that wo will ever get, and it is for the people to say whether or net they will accept them. * Tho Burnt Diatrlot of Oroonrillo.
