The OrMtut Poittio&l Mooting.
The New Yoik D<-?ocr?cy had ft meet
ing lately of (he largest ptoporttons ever
aasemhlwd in that oily, or in *ny part of
(If United State*. Ninety thousand peo
pie were in the procession. which w?a (en
mil. s in length, and 500,000 were in (he
street.*.
Gen VrCiEi.Lt* ad.lrerse-l the follow ing
letter >< the lYnimittee. It will l>e seen
that lie is a t' mongh Democrat, nit hough
not a candid?te for political offioei
" ll having Keen by acme expected that
General Mcfi.Et.iAN would preside, the fol
lowing letter in explanation of his absence
was read :
" New York, Oetoher 3.
" Doupti* 1hyfor, Kxrj , Clst'rtMs, <frc .
d'c. ? Jfy l)far Sir : I have the pleasure to
acknowledge the receipt of yonr invitation
to preside over the Demnciatic meeting of
Monday next, '
" I have long since determined to abstain
from further participation in political life
atid therefore find myself compelled to d?
clinc the honor you proffer me. 1 should,
however, be glad to attend the mealing as,
a private eltiren, diJ not engagements of a
domestic nature, rendered Imperative by
my long absence from the country, detain
me from the city upon the day in question.
' I gTadly avail myself ..f this opporlun
11} to express my coniioueu neatly
tliy with the Democratic cause, and my ardent
wishes for the success of llioee cou.-titutionsl
principlca for which the iceent
war was undertaken by the North. Separated
as I thus aui from the distinguished
soldier a ho litis been chosen as the leader
of our opponects, I know that you all'
agree with me in the highest respect for
the services he has rendered our country;
but it is my conviction that the measures
of the party which has placed hin; in nomination
are hut contaniii.ntiot s of strife, snd
can never restore pence or constitutional
supremacy, and thus comp'eto the wotk
which he and other brave soldiers so ably
commenced. The war was only the first
. epoch in the history of the struggle lu
which we have been so long engaged.
"The work of the soldier is, I trust, for.
ever ended, and it remains for th* people to
fulfil the great objects for which they, or
their sons and brothers, were called to the
field.
" ^ reslorid union of States ai d hearts;
an invigorated constitution, to he firmly
and faithfully supported ; the maintenance
of the natioi-al credit inviolate; a re-esttb
bailment of national and States l igh's in n11
their integrity?and thus trlle harmony nnd
a lasting peace?these are the object-* for
which every cilix? n should now strive; and
believing these to rest in the success of the
Democratic cause, l?v the election of the
eminent statesman selected to represent the
party, it is my intention to sustain that
cause as a private citizen.
" With the request thnt yon will convey
to the gentlemen of the committee, and my
other friends (or whom you set, my sincere
thanks for the compliment they have paid
ine,
* t am most truly your#,

Charleston and the West.
Charleston has long ;ago iooKe<i m m
trade of the Great \V?at to sustain and in
crease her commercial proaperliy. But
strange to say, tiie iofluenees of the city
have overlooked, and sfiil overlook, the
greatest and moat important railroad roote
to her fur North-Western trader We mean
the extension of n Railroad from Gi-enville
to Asheville, some sixty miles only, where
by not on'y the East Tennes-ee. Kentucky
and Ohio trade will he recur, d. but the
vastly important, and valuable, and inoreas"
ing trade of \V< stern N< rth Car?>!li a. The
latter trade would supply Charleston bono
tifully with all those products f?>r which
she is now dependent on New England;
and she eonM be an exporter if she would
of apples, potatoes, hotter, cheese, cabbage
ete.,e'?c., instead of importer. This short,
id comparatively cheap and eai-ily built
road of only sixty 'miles, would do more
for Charleston and the Slate, than any now
In contemplation. Yet Charleston over
looks it utterly, and ia straining every nerve
for the Blue Ridge Ilond alone, which can
never give her any trade Ironi Western
lfortb Carolina, worth mentioning, ami
wli ioli is absolutely tin ice or at least ye(
twice as lorg ond as c<#tly a route to Knox
ville as th? line by Ashexille. We mean,
the unfinished line yet'lobc put on contract.
I.et the Blue Ridge Road be built in due time
if I hey choose, but I Is *? Jirtt consideration is,
to meet at once the Tenneesi o snd Kentucky
lines at Aaheville, whereby Chsrb *t?n
would roaliee an betantially u I the profile ?|

besides. \t ill Charleston look through th#
heart of Western North Carolina towardi
J.onisville, Kentucky, or confine her vision
solely to the long stretch nl barren mono

skirts the m<?t unproihictive regions of the

along the lo*g. arduous and costly
line of the Blue Ridge route f We sKall

Episcopal Tiiannial Convention.
Ti ii Cnnventivn,' re| resenting the entire
body of l'!|>i>eo|ia1!int in the United Stit*?,
is now in session in New York. This, then
in the fit at church territorially reconstruct]
eJ. It k{|\ be a long tipae, in ell probability,
bdore the Methodist audlVnabyierbtn
Churches North and South will come to
getffJV, fn consequence of the faefv that the
Northern churches of |lt*ee denomination*
have made political docllinea a leal of fel
Inw*l?lp. The Baptist Ctlurchea of America,
and nil over the world, nevar did have,
and can never have, aa anch, any- eentrnliant
ion, or Cleneral Assembly or convocation
of mHlhoriUtfi+e power.
The Charleston Afovar* has a very inter
eating cli'orial reepreting the Epiaeopal
Convention. We are plenaed to eee the
secular ?pia?a Itcatow some attention upon
the great religion* organiaatlons wliieli ?
iat in thia and other ennntriea. The forma
of church government, whilet they admit
of individual excellence and nndoitbted piety
in many peraona, in every communion,
yet in thoir tendency exert n prodigious influence
either for good or for evil; not
only upon the mne*ee who adhere to thia or
that chnr?h, but upon society, nod upon
civil gov-rnment end its administration ?
It Reenta to or it were ea?y to show that in
all ages I he forma of religion existing among
a pcnp'e, h*ve materially modified the
forma <.f government and the law*. This is
a great subject never dlscuseed l.y our
statesmen or by the political or literary
journals. We Nlirteu'ly believe there will
never be tlie greatest |uissihle progress made
in the knowledge of the laws which Rn?tai?
<>r which undermine civil liberty, ti'l states
men and political writer* boldly venture
upon such discussions. We maintain that.
In proportion to the cenlrnl despotic power
exercised by a church or religious hivrar by
over the conscience* of its adherent*
will he iil'iiiiately the civil despotism and
political centralisation. But wc do not
propo-'O, ourselves, to enter at present, up
on thi? broad Uncultivated field ; the titnaa
arc riot now auspicious.
Wc entirely concur with the J/fmiry on
the Paiish question. It has teemed to n?f
with all deference to the canon maker* ot
the I'p:Sir-prl Church, that the rule established
prohibiting any. minister ? f that denomination
fr?in preoebiug. w ithout special
permission, anywhere in the paiieli if an
other, which only ha* ideal existence for a j
town, county or ?eciion, u totally ioappli.
cable in this country, if not wrong everywhere.
Why should an Rpieco| al c'orgyman
b? requ*r?d to claim in a town or village.
that his pariah embracee, not only 'he
town or district generally, but. the pulpit
and inside of ev?ry Presbyterian, kl-lholut
or Baptist Chureit wthin su<di town or district.
We pive the remarks of :b<- .Vercri.y on

" A' to tire Pnr'sh rjlti-s'lon, tl'e Pnr-venlion

Itadicalltm Stating.
From nil parts cf the State, wo hear of persons
who have belonged to tho I'nion Leagues
withdrawing froui there midnight conclaves,
and avowing the principlca of the Democracy,
the only party capable of restoring the prosperity
of the country. In the Inst Anderson
lutelfitfeHcir is the statement that au entire
League in .that District has been disbanded
ami the hooks and records burnt. Although
slow, yet innny arc finding out where the wily
carpet ba?g,-rs and sealhiwagf would carry
them, and consequently aro turning their
hacks upon them and their ruinon* and du
' grading doctrines.
W'e learn from a geuthman who lias been
below, that n member of the present so-called
Legislature from one of the lower districts,
who is a white man, has become utterly disgusted
with his part)', snd is about withdrawing
from it, nod will doubtless resign his seat
in the Legislature. IIis nainc will soon be
given to tha put.lie. The individual in qites.
lion is known to he an honest snd welt meaning
man, having voted strenuously agsinst the
" discrimination bill," and it is astonifbing
that he hss 11 maincd with them so long. It
is to la? hoped he will lose no time in separa1
ling himself from a party whose avowed pur1
pose is to reverse the order ot nature in put'
ting the superior below Ibe inferior.
^ In our possession now is a loiter written by

I To one and all, we say come out froan the

champions of true Democracy, and help save
I the country from ruin. Be again a white

From Spartanburg, I traveled by private

to Greenville, the mort beautifnl of the
South Carolina villages which 1 visited.?
Emerging frotn the lowlands to thr moun

nature. The real lut^reat of the occasion i
was, ueverthclear, of a different kind. It
was the pleasure and profit of the District
Conference, and of intercourse with tli* t
ministers < f other Christian denominations.
Our District Conference was a blessing. I
have reason to believe, V? the Church I
which wns so well represented in its see '
sionr, and to the community. Our preaching
produced a profound sensation upon all 1
that were present, and awakened nn an
parent *eal for the prosperity ol every dc.
p.irtrnent of our work. The Sabbath w?*
a ntrim-iahle ilny in Israel. Tlie eonfprg* (
lions were immense, ami the Wotd and (
the Sacrament of ihe Lord's Supper were .
attended with power. On Friday und Sun.
day nights, hy special request, I preached
in the Baptist Church, hy far the largest |
house of worship ill the village. The whole ^
chut ch-going community seemed to he
present, and in sympathy with the servicesCertainly
I felt that the Master was pros
ont. The Baptists are the leading denomi- t
nation of Oreenvil'e and its vicinity. They i
have a I,it. rary and a Theological Institn I
tion in opernlion in the place, ami several
of their most cmin-nt preaolieis are located '
there. With some of tlient. and whh the I
Presbyterian and Episcopal clergymen, I
had delightful inteicourse. They visited
me and ailended my ministry. No p'ac-,
on my tour, has made a more pleasant ini J
preerion on tny mind, and to none do I re ]
cur with greater satisfaction." ^

The Spanish Revolution -Eeportero,

The Spanish reriiliuloe progresses, in the
most orderly ami satisfactory in.inner, Innards
coiupUte realisation in the establishment of a
fr.-n tiovrrnment. elicited hj the public, voice,
and trusting for solidity in tho Inturc to the
electoral approval and support of a nation
suddenly awaicencd to a knowledge of its rights
and the endorsement of the million* who have
proved themselves. * > fir, well worthy of their
eniruOchisillteMt. Marshal Serrano, acruiu|)3tiicd
by seven gonerals of the regular ariny,
entered Madrid on 8alnrdar. The soldier
liKocutors enjoyed a triumphal oral ion, in
which tho eitixon* and military took part, and
which, according to our cat>le telegram description.
partook ot the character of as fine a
'turn out" us coul.I lie witnessed in New
York, even about "these times" of a Presidential
election. The strocts and huildiugs of
the capital, public edifices and private niauv
sions were decorated iu tho most sunurh manner;
the side-walk.., squares and houae-stopa
were crowded with people; there was an immense
procession, and tho generals were bailed
with * wild enthusiasm." A military parade
and review of the National Guard followed?a
very fine affair, and which evoked
the most fervent expressions in manifestation
of the popular will. The inscriptions borne
on the banners rv-aflirined tho sentence ot the
expelled daynasty, and proclaimed the programme
of the reformed policy o( the nation
in a few short. 1ml decisive sentences. These
were, " 1>o*ii with the Bourbon," Sovereignty
of the People." ** licligiuus Liberty " and
" Frre blaciilioD."
With their case thus set forth to the world,
and their future intentions thus enunciated,
the Spaniards cant* down to practical work.
Marshal Serrano addressed the uialtitade, informing
them that ne had united with General
Prim, in calling Marshal Rspartero, Duke de
Vittoria, to the head of the State. The cable
telegram d<>cs nut say in what constitutional
capacity, or under what designation the old
soldier Is to scrre, hut it ro?y be presumed
that it will he as chief of a provisional government,
pending the drafting of a Constitu
tion and the submitting of it for ratification or
amendment to the jmopie hj universal suffrage.
A new choioat was then formed, with Serrano
us President of the Council, Prim Minister ol
tVar, Senor Mados Minister of Finance, Scnoi
Oloyaga Minister of Foreign Affairs, and othei
eminent reformers with portfolios. Manuel
de la Concha was placed under arrest, th?
people thus officially obliterating a per son ideation
of many irritating remembrances at th?
moment when they had eleared and ably pioneered
the pitb of Spain for her advance t?
political dignity, religious liberty and the enjoyineht
of intelligent measures of ri titer
equality and freedom.? S*? York JJrruM.
