In the political campaigns oMhe last fe* years, in this State, the argument was advanced, and strenuously urged by the oppo sition. that the burden of taxation* must eventually fall upon the laboring man. As this class formed the main strength of the Republican party, the proposition was meant as a warning to them against the rash and prodigal extravagance, with other people's money, of those whom they were keeping in office. This argument was combated by the Radical advocates, who ridiculed the idea that those who had no property should pay the taxes, and comforted their constituents with the thought that the arrogant landholder, the oppressive rich man, who unjustly owned all the property, made by the sweat of the freeduian's brow, was rightly made to pay heavily, in order that the poor man's representatives might run a gorgeous government, and live in ease and magnificence.? This specious argument was^addressed, not only to the colored people, who were immediately captivated by its beauty; but also to the whites, who were supposed to be dissatisfied with the unequal distribution of wealth, , aud ready for a system which promised confiscation, and levelling of conditions. The policy, evinced by this course of reasoning, was supposed to be that of the Republican party in South Carolina. This conclusion was strengthened by the merciless manner in which real estate was assessed far above its real market value, and then taxes levied upou this fictitious basis at rates which were oppressive and ruinously "high.. Farther, Congressman Kainey. who should know how to speak for his party, in enlightening our affectionate fellow-countrymen of the North, last summer, upon the condition of affairs in South Carolina, was not ashamed to admit that the Republican party was a party of high taxation, but rather gloried in the fact, and boasted that their intention 1 was to pile on the taxes until the owners of land were compelled to sell it, aud thus enable all to own a home-stead. All this ho said, although he knew, or being a representative man should have known, that any man, possessing a large bedy of land, was not only willing but anxious to sell portions of it at reasonable prices to any one who waa able to buy, and that the only" reason why such sales were not made was because the landless were to poor too buy. This utterance of our Congressman was construed to JMLI LI I II II I' 1 U^.1 Ul mil ll'HI. ttliu It IS hard to see how it could signity anything else. Now, strange to say, everything isch.mged. lly some curious transformation the burden of taxation is shifted from the land-owner and capitalist, and laid upon the shouldjors of the working-man. At least so says the Columbia In ion-Herald. The industrial interests of the State have been, for sobic time past, in a condition of breathless suspense, waiting in dread anticipation of the crushing demands of the Legislature, and trembling lest their feeble frames, already weakened by financial disaster, should be ground to powder. This anxiety has manifested itself in the columnsof the press throughout the State, and respectful protests, and earnest appeals have been addrossed to the Legislature. The I nion Herald takes occasion to tell us that our fears are unfounded; in fact that we have nothing to dcr with the matter, because the farm-laborer, the mechanic, the house-servant. the employee of every description, pay* the t,tret, if the merchant is taxed, hciuipo ses it upon the consumer in the form of additionafyrofit; if the land-lord is taxed, the ten. ant must uiake it up in paying a higher rent; if the planter is taxed, he takes it out of the wage* of his hands; if the railroad company is taxed, the pay ot its employees is proportionately diminished. We are glad to see our coteuiporary taking this position. Work at it and elaborate it, until the poorest man shall sec that his xnoney i? squandered at Columbia. That whatever affects one portion of the hody politic, is felt by the whole. That no branch of industry can be oppressed, and the others not suffer. That the interests of employer ! and employee, buyer and seller, white nod , colored, IJeioocrat ami ikepuuuran, iiru identical in this all important m atter. This is undoubtedly true, and can bo proved. The Union-lie rut J uses this argument by way of a caution to our rulers, urging retrenchment in public exjaeuses, and regard 1 for the interests of a constituency, who arc ' already beginning to wince under their bur* ? ' ?L_!? dens, and will, sooner or later, imng mcir stewards to an account.

Our Commonwealth is now suffering ter- | rib!, fi on the peslifoucc of high taxation ' Whatever is not killed by the disease, is 1'rurhteutd to death. Outside capital will Hot venture into the infected atmosphere. 0 * and the danger is, that what we now have 1 will leave as for safer quarters. This is a serious uiatter, and must be attended to. Although promises of reform and economy are made and reitoratcd, the mountain of taxation goes on increasing in maguitudc. Plant Less Cotton. Iu these troublous times, when all departments of industry are, to a a greater or less extent, paralyzed, it is our wont, though we may not be able to state the exact cause of the stringency in monetary affairs, at least to look about for the means by which to prevent our being placed in a like position in the future. . At first, the general impression in reference to our financial condition was, that, in a very short time, credit would be restored, money would creep out from its hiding places, cot ton would command a fair price, aud in short? that everything and everybody, save a few reckless gamblers, would move along as though nothing had happened. But sach has not been the case.. The crash is upon us. Its effects are felt, how seriously no one can tell. Like that produced by a ston" cast into the water, the circle, in which the force of the panic in Wall street has been exerted, has widened, only increasing in momentum, until, now, the whole country is convulsed, and thousands upou thousands of men are financially ruined. In vain does the planter, the merchant, or the banker seek a plan by which he may be enabled to make both ends inq?>t. The thing is done, and the sooner the fa^ is realized, the sooner will all be in a condi tion to retrieve their losses. But, though the picture is so gloomy, it has at least one encouraging feature Every ' en 'on oe if 1 11 11 1 r?<1 f i -J miBiurvuuc id u uics^iu^ w mi * ?i<v?.vm?v.. a lesson. Hitherto, the people of our southern country have giVen their attention almost entirely to the production of cotton, to the exclusion of other articles of equal) if not greater importance. For several years, the staple has commanded remunerative prices, and we have prospered. But, at last, when wu thought ourselves most secure, the crisis has come, yie price of cotton has declined to a point far below the actual cost of its production, and we arc set back several years in our business operations. True, the loss is well-nigh irreparable, but a valuable lesson can bo learned therefrom. The Bhip has been lost, but the position of the rock in the ocean has been definitely ascertained. ; and many others may be saved from a simi- j lar fate. So, let U3 become wise and behold j the truth as it is presented to us?we must do something else besides grow cotton. But some will say, our soil is peculiarly ? w mm?raising in i nuun. sllU H(J ifo not wish to give it up. We answer? such is very true ; hut it is equally adapted to the growing of grain, and of such animals as sheep, cattle, swine, &c. The "Middle Belt" of South Carolina! possesses natural advantages of the highest order. The soil is so various and the cli- j mate so genial and favoring, tliat we may j grow a superabundance of all products, from I the most delicate luxury to the most valuable substantial. Besides this, we have in our midst, beds of almost every kind of i>re, while the admirable sites where the music |of the spindle and loom should be heard? ' tfhero all kinds of machinery can bo operated successfully and profitably?are innumerable. The field is, indeed, so inviting, that it cannot remain long unimproved. Our own people must manifest more enter- i prise, must look more to their interest, by i availing themselves of those blessings which a merciful Providence has conferred upon them. They must depart from the grooves in'which they have hitherto moved, or they will, sotne day, have greater cause to rpgrct their present apathy. Oar State t/overu meat. The extra session of the Legislature closed i on Monday lost, tho time fixed by law for ' the regular session being Tuesday, the 25th i inst. The close of the session finds the Hill to adjust the public debt still hanging firo^ nothing having boon done with it. The Act to raiso supplies, which fixes the rate of taxation at sirUrn mills, has been autctidcl so as to make the taxes payable in two instalments, one in January, and the other in August, next '1 liis arrangement will afford irreat relief, as it will give tlie fax payers n breathing spell ill the intervals between the payments.

Our law-makers are very much interested 0 in the Cuban question. Large and enthusi- f astic caucuses have been held almost every ' night for a week past, at which speeches 11 were made, and resolutions adopted, con- n demning the arbitrary cruelty of the Spaniards. and demanding vengeance. * Governor Moses ought to carry a small ' army of our belligerent citizens over to Cu- J ba, ai^l give tliem the opportunity of dis- ] tinguishiug themselves. I War. -- * - The complications, growing out of the i Virginius affair, seein about to result in a war between the'United States aud Spain. The whole country, North and South, is aroused and iudignant. aud alniosta unit in the sentiment that condign punishment should be meted out to the perpetrators of the outrage. The Spanish government says that it is only 1 a question between the Cuban authorities,! and pirate*, and that no interference will bo allowed. Gen. Sickles, the United States Minister at Madrid, has been, insultingly repulsed in his efforts to obtain satisfaction, and fears are entertained that he may be mobbed b^ the excited people. Spam has no right to proclaim the crew of the Virginius pirate*. They were acting unlawfully in attempting ta.land upon the coast of Cuba, but tliey were not outlaws, enemies of the human race, bent upon bloodshed, robbory, and crime ; they were not the desperadoes to whom the law gives the name of pirates. Therefore their summary execution was nothing less than brutal butchery.

Our sympathies are with the patriotic party in Cuba. For years they have maintain- j .eduu unequal war with Spain, struggling for , liberty. In this contest they have not been j treated with common humanity.Those ta-1 ken prisoners of war have almost always been ! shot in culd blood, property has been destroyed. and every right of man has been violated with devilish cruelty. It is high time that these things should stop. A war between the United States and Spain will inevitably free Cuba. * Upon the subject, of war the Spaniards speak with haughty arrogance and defiance. They have either too littlo sense, or too i much courage to fear the scream of the American eagle ; we rather think that they have'i '? 1 r " first, and, if a ft reign war shonld have the J effect of uniting the hostile factions of the Republicans and Carlists, the contest may be quite fierce But no man can doubt the final result. The vessels, armories, and forts of the United States are being made ready 1 for war. The President, however, will do nothing until Congress meets. The war making power is in their hands, and we arc told that they will protect the dignity of our country. Col. E C.

Regarding the manner in which Captain Fry and his companions marched to their fate, the advices show that they wore landed on the 6tli, about nine o'clock in the I morning, from the steamer in which they had been confined, tried and condemned to death, and taken first io the captain of the port, and then to the jail.

Nto latter immediately proceeded to the t jail, where, after the usual formalities, he \ was admitted to see Captain Fry, who informed him that he hail been asking for that privilege, or that right rather, ever since he j had been first brought tothe port, but without [ avail, and he had only been granted this boou i now within a few lifurs of his death, as he was to be shot at four, and desired to make his declara'ion and protect, having been captured with his steamer, upon tho high seas, and. therefore, protested against all and every part of the proceedings Thi- protest was concluded at about L! p m , and the consul immediately transmitted n copy to <1 enera!
