Address of the Control Democratic
Club to the Demooratio Partv of
South Carolina.
Fellow Citizene: The election f.n
President nnd Vice-President of the
United St a tea is new done At hand-?
l'be great principles involved in the
content, the magnitude of the intercuts
st stake, nnd the influence which this
State may have on the result, make
this a proper occasion to Jay before ycu
s biief address.
The tendency and purpose of the
Radical party, as manifested in words
and acta, are the absorption of the liberty
of the individual; the destruction
of States; the subversion of the Constitution,
and the erection upon the ru
ins of individual and public liberty, a
jrand. grinding, consolidated despotism.
Already it lia* made rapid strides in
JihI direction. Little, now, is left for
I to do but to fure into one mar-s, and
;l>en crystallize into permanent form Us
various acquisitions of usurped power.
[;a capiicious act*; its wanton cruelties;
its corrupt practices; its enormous burdens
you have felt and do know.?
Against these, nnd more than these,
you are now called upon to continue a
resolute light with the peaceful, though
potent, wenpon of the ballot. The
i\ -?*- ? -
i.'coiucrmic puny nere ana everywhere
*re striking with yon fvr the principle*
j( libei ty and the form* of Government
lo which we have been upcuMoidmI, for
it written Constitution, n Federal (Juion
and n distinct existence of the Stale*.
Surely, then, the principle* of the
contest are important, end the interest
great. Arouse, therefore, to the magnitude
of the emergency and spare no
effoit* for success. \\ hen the time for
registration shall come, let no man fail
to appear, and none fail to rote. l?el
each one remember that hi* individual
vote may decide the election in hi* own
district, Mnd that th . electoral rote of
the State may turn the scale iu favor of
the Democratic pattv.
Our people must not despond, nor re
tax their ?(forts, if there should be fail
ure* elsewhere. On the contrary, they
will Iihva rea?r>n l.i liniw ?n.t
; " J" """
stimulate thein to increased energy, for
it i* jet possible to win. State elec
lions are influenced and sometimes con
trolled by local issues; and it has often
happened that these go one way, and
in a few weeks iheieafter, in the si ine
place, the Presidential elections another.
This may be ihe case in the present
canvass; and. indeed, we have reason
to hope so. Recently we have received
repoits fiom all parts of the State which
induce ths belief that South Carolina,
with proper efl*>rt, will be carried for
Seymour and Blair. Let not the fail
lire to do so bo ascribed to you.
The canvass in which you are now
engaged is full of excitement, which
w ill probable continue and increase to
the end We tiust, therefore, that it
will not be amiss to drop you a word
>f caution. The criminality of a few,
and perhaps the indiscretion of iuspt,
have placed it in the power t?f malice
and mistepiemulation to injure us, and
seiiously to damage the common cause.
\Vo urge you, therefore, not only to
prevent violence, but to abstain fiom
the violence of it. We ar$ dealing
with a fahe and subtle foe?prolific in
inventions, and venemous in purpose?
a foe who fully understands the temporary
profit of a nimble lie, which loo
often achieves its end before the truth
I 1-1 - - ?
cmii even uuckie ou ner armor.
We need not urgo upon you the poli
cv nnd the duly of treating, with greM
kindness and forbearance. the colored
population of the Slate. This you hav?
ever done, nnd will continue to do ar
long as you are permitted. We have
no doubt you will make manifest the
untruth of the malicious charge, that
by force you have compelled their vot??
or by intimidation kept them from the
polls. Their minds are rapidly open
ing to the truth that the \agranl white
man fiom the North, as well as the
renegade of the South, who live bv deceiving
and plundering thetu, and who
have been driving them to destruction,
are not true friends, and are unworthy
of confidence and support. With a fair
opportunity they will return to you, at
their estrangement is owing entirely to
the false teachings and malignant ef
ions 01 me nortnern emir-saiy. It cannot
be forgotten that the State voluntarily,
in 1805, invested the colored
population with every civil right; and
that the Democratic parly, in Convert
rion in April last, recognised them, tinJer
the previous action of the Stale, as
an integral element in the body politic
-<*ami expressed its willingness, when
n power, to enfranchise theni to the
sxtent which the public weal and their
mn good might warrant. The posi
ion then taken by the Con vent ion, and
vliicli was announced to the people of
he State and the country, ia now re{firmed.
We beg youl to remember that the
lemccratic party of the Stale was not
rganized for tire purpose merely of suporting
the nomine- a of the part?( but
>r higher purpose* and more enduring
nds. It is possible that our present
ad. r may be defeated, bat our pi topics
will survive. The liberty of the

individual, the being and welfare of I

The Deceased Wife's Sister.
This vexed question it still giving
trouble in the church. It has distracted
almost every church in this country.
The moot recent case occurred in the
United Presbyterian Church. A writer,
giving an account of the First Synod of
ill* Waat ?n il.? ? '*

of the cmc : ?
44 An appeal came to Synod from a
decision of Mercer Presbytery, which
involved an important phase of the
marriage question, nod elicited ranch
interest. The session of Hethel having
brought a member to trial for marrying
hia deceased wife's si?ter, and having
sentenced him to be admonished, a minority
of session appealed to Presbytery,
believing that the offender should
he suspended. The Prerbyleiy sustained
the anpeal, anJ directed to suai
pend (he offending party till he give*
evidence of repentance. An appeal
was then taken from the decision of the
Presbytery, and the case came before
Synod. The question involved is not
whether such marriages ate contrary to
the word of God, but what censure
should be indicted on those who offendDr.

dicial Committer, brought in a report
recommending that the appeal be sun*
mined. The report reviewed the case
fully, retting forth that while the rela*
lion is contrary to the word of God, yet
it is not such an evil as requires offenders
to be excluded from membership in
the church, thus virtually demanding
the separation of the parties, but should
he kept out of the church by sound instruction.
" The report was adopted, and the
appeal was sustained. The effect of
this action is to reverse the decision of
Mercer Presbytery, and to restore the
offender to privileges in the church upon
his submission to tire admonition of
the session. Notice was given of an
appeal to the General Assembly from
this decision by Rev. J. \V. Logue aud
others."?Due We*t Pre?bytertan%
