The Third Term.
We are of those who see little prospect of
relief to the country through the regular,
normal administration of the government.
The evils complained of are first aud chiefly
the tyranny of party. The corruptions that
pervades all departments of public affairs in
consequence chiefly of a blind allegiance that
sustains every representative and every measure
of the party however iniquitous.
Parties, it is true, will be formed in every
popular government, and they do tend in a
healthy condition of affairs, to preserve the
liberties of the country by a watchful and
critical supervision of the party in power,
by that which is out. This, however, presupposes
the existence of a public opinion
not enalavetLto party, to which appeal might
be made against abuses, whereby the ruling
...tnrht rfoiinst'd and the Dower of
j.a.v n..6..? - r t
government entrusted to other hands. In
such a condition of things, the party in power
is constantly checked and kept within bound?
by the wholesome fear of alienating the sup
port of the people. When#, however, a
party becomes saddled upon a country in
such wise as that it always commands the
ballot aud I10M3 its power, right or wrong,
then it becomes an oppressive tyranny as
% utterly subversive of liberty, as the usurpation
of the government by one man. This,
now, is the condition of this country and
. such is the position of the Republican Party.
It will be said that it is a paradox to affirm
that the government of a majority can .be a
tyranny. It will be affirmed that whatever is
the will of the majority, must be for the good
of the country?for the greatest good of the
greatest number This assumes that the will
of the majority is fairly and intelligently exercised
and that neither fear, favor, prejudice,
ignorance or corruption, is allowed to
inflnenre the exercise of political power.?
We know, on the contrary, that the will ol'
the poople is not fairly expressed in elections.
That to secure an election the nomination
of a convention is essential. That
the members of these conventions are
named by packed caucuses, brought together
and swayed by every motive but the right
one. That intimidation, bribery, prejudice,
deception and every possible influence is
brought to bear upon the actors in primary
assemblies, conventions and elections, and
nothing is left undone to carry the party into
power. This is now the system iu the
United States. The party in power having
its officers and its patronage covering the
lund and sustained by the contribution of
large sums of money to control the elections :
Having the appointment of the managers
and canvassers of the ballot, aud consequently
controlling the count of the votes, if all
other means fail: Having the entire negro
population indissolubiy bound to them byprejudice,
iguorance and gratitude: Having
at their head the great leader of the Union
armies and all the prestige, that attadies to
the conquering hero in the eyes of the people
of the Uuion : Having all the devotion
of the loyul and the prejudice engendered
by the war and the seetional struggle of the
last half century iu their lavor: This party,
humanly speaking, is bound to perpetuate
its power until swept away by some great
revolution either violent, social or moral.?
Ju the absence of some great upheaval of!
the body politic, there can l?e little doubt
that the nominee of the Republican partywill
be the next President. Gen. Grant is ,
personally and politically in a position to com- 1
maud that nomination. His hold upon the !
iniuds of the people as the leader of the eon- j
quering armies of the Union, has given him
u place in every Northern nousenoia nign :
above every living uian. Cnder the pres-1
t*ure of the heaviest denunciations of souic
of the strongest of his former political friends
he has constantly grown stronger, and to-dayhe
is idol of that people, lie doubtless likes
power. As a military man position and rani
are dear to him Those who know him best
believe hint to be far from indifferent to the
emoluments of office. He is the rcpresen-1
talive of strength in the Executive department
to which capitalists and financial rings j
and syndicates look for protection against I
the possible oulbieak of the commune and
other socialistic combinations of the masses,!
the hewers of wood and drawers of water I
who chafe at the inequalities of fortune.? '
What will hinder him from a third term if'
he wants it ? Why would he not wunt it ? j
A C'rltle 'orreele?l.
The Abbe^lle supposes that we
confounded our friend and comrade, Del
Kemper, now professor in Hampden Sidney
College, with (Jen. .James L. Kemper, the
- - - 11.1
present candidate for uovernor. nau ?ui
cotemporary road the article it criticises
with accust(?iiiod care, it would have been
perceived that both the Kouipers aro mentioned
in it by name. The incident narrated
f 4 Jen. James L. Kemper, is true of that
gentleman. On the retreat from Fairfax C)i
, and for fometime thereafter, he was act
ing on General Bonhatn's staff, and was '
well known to the writer. When we undertake
to state facts we are usually at some
pains to be exact, and know that whereof 1
we affirm. # # '
Another Evil pnder the Sun. i
If there be any fact evident to one not
blinded by suspicion, it is that the Southern
people are firm, staunch, true and devoted
to the great cause of constitutional liberty,
for which they gave up all save honor, with
a spirit of self-consecration unsurpassed by
any people. Eight years of adversity, trial,
suffering, persecution and temptation, have
not shaken their integrity, and the defection
of a few Judases has only served to intensifv
thoir disertiat for treacherv. Yet, with
J o v
all this there is a morbid spirit abroad, that
arrogates to itself all the virtue lcfl in the
land, is blatant in its self-assertion, and
spits the toad-like venom of suspicion at better
men, who wisely endure their agony in
silence. For Heaven's sake let us trust the
faithful, and abide the time when to assert
our cause cannot, work its prejudice.
Ben. Butler Bn?lly Beat.
We must say we are equally pleased and
surprised at the result of the contest for the
republican nomination for Governor of Massachusetts.
Washburne was so far ahead ,
of Butler, that the latter, with a modesty
that can be readily appreciated, withdrew j
from the contest That there should have 1
been morality enough in the republicans of |
Massachusetts to overcome the arts of this ,
prince of demagogues, backed up as he was j
by the power of the administration and the ,
army of officeholders, is a most gratifying ,
and most unexpected fact. If this example ,
could be followed in South Carolina some
times, we might be mado happy even under
radical rule, for honest rulers of any com- j
plczion, would be a mercy to us. A characteristic
incident occurred in the conven- |
tion. When resolutions were offered by j
Mr. Hoar, condemning the back pay grab, of ,
which Butler was the author, and the inter- '
ference of the administration in behalf of j
Butler's nomination, that modest youth se- ,
condcd the resolutions and moved their adop- i
tion without a division. I
FOR THE JOURNAL.
Camden Orphan Society s SchoolThe
time is approaching when, according i
to the advertisement in another column, the i
exercises of this School are to be resumed, i
In view of the opening of the new term, I
there are a few things worthy of the consid- ]
ation of all who aro interested in the pros- i
perty of the iimt it utitia. wt in the education i
of the youth of the community. It would 1
be difficult to overrate the advantage which <
u well regulated public school would accrue {
to .the town and circumjacc?t country, nnd i
therefore, to make the school such as it could <
be made with ordinary interest and enter- ]
prise, should be a subject of importance. |
The"* first great means for the accomplish- t
ment of this end is, that every boy in the
town should bo sent to the school. To ac
complish this an insurmountable barrier pre- t
sents itself; this is the indifference to educa- ;
cation so manifest among the vast majority ]
of the population. This is a sad state of j
affairs, and it would be a difficult task to ]
prescribe an effective remedy. The great ]
reason that our schools aro so small is that t
the youth who should be lining the quota 01
the schools are distributed among our merchants,
mechanics and farmers. There may
be souie force in the argument that stern
necessity produces such a state of affairs;
but-is not education and the refinement and
culture of the rising generation of sufficient
value to warrant a sacrifice?
After the hoys are sent to school, can they
not be kept there? This is a glaring defect
in the Orphan Society's school. As soon as
first warm weather approaches, the scholars
become dissatisfied, aud the number of pupils
rapidly decrease. Hy the time thoteacher closes
the excicisesof the school for thesumnior
two thirds of the scholars are absent from the
roll call. The trustees of the school provide
n long vacation, and there is no grojmd
for complaint in this particular, and i. may
very safely be asserted that among the youths
between the ages of eight and eighteen
there are but few so incapacitated by ill
health or insufficiency of endurance as to be
unable to attend school until the second or
third Wick in July The teachers whole
time is consumed?he must be daily at his
post, and is it not the duty ot the patrons
of the school to look to his interest us well *
as their own ?
The institution would be much benefitted ^
and enlarged if boys and young men could ,
be gathered in from our own and the i
neighboring districts. Camden is very ceu- 1
tral, and in this presents a great advantage n
for the institution of a fine school. In (
speaking to one of the trustees on this sub- j
jcet, he informed me that the obstacle in c
the way of increase by this means, was, that '
thero was no cheap boarding house for boys J
in the place. This difficulty might be met ^
with case, if the subject were agitated.? y
There are, doubtless, many who would be I
advanced in the comforts of life hv the re- H
muneration which this enterprise offers; and |
many who would willingly undertake it could s
assistance be rendered. Could not some one e
be found who would open a large |s?aidiiig i
house for boys if efforts were mado to securo
'or them a requisite number of boarders ?
[n the early part of the year, there were in
Kirkwood, several families who were willing
ind desired to provide accommodations for
!>oys who might wish to be in close proximity
to the school. It cannot be doubted that
the farmers of Kershaw, and even in other
counties around would send their sons to
jchool here, if effort was made to interest
;hein in the affair, and to provide board for
,heir sons.
The terms are as low as it is possible, even
0 say desirable, to place them. They are
3ertainly within the reach of aW, for the so*
jiety had this in view in determining them.
rt is no less true that boys wishing to ente r
the institution can find board in private fa
milies, on very liberal terms. We have
then, every element necessary for building up
1 first class public school, and the only things
we want are intercut and enterprise. Is not
a fine school sufficiently desirable to enlist
these? The services of a very proficient
teacher have been secured, and if e?ch and
every one would extend his aid in the ways
we have suggested above, a largo school
might be built here, and. Canden be blessed
with her primeval elegance <jnd prosperity.
OCCASION ALtiY:
FOR THE JOURNAL.
Mr. Editor : Last evening I accidentally
came across a copy of the Cainden Journal,
Nov. 12, 1852, and found pleasure in looking
through its columns; but the pleasure
svas not unalloyed, it was mingled with sadness,
for among all the names in the business
portion of tho sheet, was iound but few who
ire now among the citizens of Camden?
ieath has laid, his icy band on nearly all
who then comprised the business men 01
the town, as shown by the advertisements.
Ajnong the names then and now, I found
A.. M. & R. Kennedy, George Aldcn, F. L.
Zemp, F. J. Oaks, C. A. McDonald, R. J.
McCreight, W. D. McDowall, (McD. &
Cooper,) among the merchants and mechanics,
with Kershaw, Shannon and Workman,
is lawyers of that day and this. The editor,
T. J. Warren, has passed from life's busy
icene, with a score others who died in harness.
What changes have come over old
Camden in the one and twenty years sioce
the date of that paper, in her business, her
social, and especially her political relations !
Could those who are sleeping the sleep that
knows no awakening, be roused from their
dumbers, whom to them was a lively mart,
diey would fail to realize their surroundings?take
thcui into the social circle and
i.hey would tind that the fair in form and
pure in mind, that cheered with their preieuce
the many happy hours, had been gathered
b)rtho Reaper Death?making these'
liomes desolate. Carry them into the political
arena and let them behold tho change
:hat has been wrought there by folly and
madness, (mocking all that "saint, sage, or
wphist, ever writ,") and they would fail to
"ealize the sad reality, and long to return to
he "spirit land, where tho wicked ceusc from
.roubling and tho weary are at rest."
On lookinc over the Prices Current, as
published then, and comparing them with
he prices now, I observe quite a difference
a many of the prime necessities of life, viz:
Butter, 20 to 25; beef, 5 to 8; bacon, 10 to
20; (these figures must include hams) coffee,
10 to 12; corn, 50 to CO; flour, 51 to 5 j; mousses,
31 to 45; peas, 62 to 75; sweet potaoes,
37 to 50; (now, $1.50) sugar, 6 to 12;
otton, 81 to 9; and I involuntarily sighed
or the good old days, when I thought of
he coming morn and its requirements.
In those days Cr.uidcn boasted of three
Hotels. That old Publican, (I hope not
nuch of a sinner,) Mr. E. G. Robinson, had
mt then reccntlv oncncd the Mansion House.

SOALINC THE DEBT.
The correspondent of the Charleston
Ynrs ami Courier, writing from Columbia,
ays:

and unexpected decision iu the bond
asc. which was never ho great as the grave
nterests involved would uppcar to demand,
ius almost entirely subsided. Our peoplo

to public aiiairs which has settled
ipon I hem, even by the dunger of largely
noreasod taxation. Besides, there is a very
;cneral impression that the tux will not be
evied any way; that the Republican party
launot afford to enforce it. and that munching
will be done by the Legislature to
trovent it beforo the time for collection
irrives. I have talked with a great many
Republicans upon the subject, and with
oiue of the State officials, and they arc
maniinoutdy of the opinion thut no tax will
?o levied to pay interest until the debt
hall have been arranged upon souio basis
onsistent with the pledges of the party
nude last year in relation thereto.
It is regarded now us a fixed lhct that
?
tbe General Assembly is to be convened in
extra session on the 21st of October. This
I learn from members of the administration.
The chief object of the extra session is to
make an arrangement of the debt, and
determine the expenditures for the next
fiscal year before the 15th of November, on
or before which day the notice of tho rate
per centum to be levied has to be given by
the comptroller-general to the various county
auditors. An effort, I learn, is certainly
to be made to scale the debt, and the scheme
will be strongly urged by the Governor in
his message.
Tho plan recommended, it is said, will be
the one mentioned in one of my previous
letters as being most strongly favored by
Patterson. This is, that the whole debt,
816,000.000 or with accrued interest, say
$18,000,000, must be scaled proportionately
to the present value of the different
classes of bonds. To explain, I will assume
for instance that thore is now outstanding
$6,000,000 of the unquestionably valid
debt quoted in New York at 32}; scaling
this at double the present value which
would be 65 cents, we would have a new
debt of $3,900,000 in place of the old of
$6,000,000. Taking the baldlce of the
debt, about $12,000,000 at an average of
17} as its present value, and doubling it so
as to make 35, we would bavo a r.ew debt
of $4,200,00 ; thus making a total new debt
of about $8,000,000.
The attorney-general says that I misrepresented
him when writing upon this subject
before, in stating that he favored an indiscriminate
scale of fifty per cent He claims
to be an advocate, and I believe one of the
originators, of the 2 proportional plan.
"Honest John" is here on a flying visit.
There was a flocking of the political vultures
at his house yesterday. Rumor has it that
the gathering was for the purpose of taking
connsel upon this very question of the
State debt. I am told by some of the old
Blue Ridge party that the dear departed
- - ? -. J -_a_i j _i
scrip is to De resurrected ana piaceu mung
with the rest of the doubtful debt in the
new scaling process. It is said, too, that
all existing claims against the State, are to
be put in the pool, so that when the scaling
is finished, the Republican party is to
commence with a clean sheet to inaugurate
all sorts of economy and reform in the
management of the State's finances hereafter.
