Some tfmto ago wa publlahed In tha . eolumM of Tbi Aoiwt an tghattotire 'y argument from “Kappa,” in a letter to fee Newa and Courier, demooatraring aoooiuirtraly that tha present circuit fidget of the State, With the wtceptlon of Judge Krawuw, were not oonstitu tioaally elected. Bdbeeqnently wo treated the aubject editorially, and. expreaalog what know to be the eenttmenta of nine tenths of onr < ft* pto, urged upon tha pmaent Legtolia fare to take the neoeeaafy atepe tn tha ptamtow. Borne daya after oar rtowa on the subject appeared, the Newa and Goarier in an editorial on the subject brought It to the attention of ofer rep reeeataUres. The Impreaatonhaa ob tatoed pretty generally, bat whether with or without aubetaatlal foundation we are unable to say. feat fee precept mti, we do not know wbefeer prubeasUfMlUlrtfl founded >hnow feat fee fear to t|iy ««' 1 feat fee aotoa of fee rngk and proper ao- 1 the matter. .. ’ 1 fa ethrjr reason Why action should be urged, and delay dtoOour- •ral Assembly ef thto quaetlon.

There was but one way to suoressfully achieve fee desired end In this esse, and that w«j hy lrating the radical parly at the jf>tU and attuning the rein* of gonemmruf. The campaign otfiG opened with but foW men absent from tbe post of duty ; their response to tlur call of the Stale Was prompt and singularly unanimous; and before fee issue at the polls was had (tie while me*yfn Barnwell cotmly at least, who were stHl missing could be counted on one's flngcra. The wta of iho 7th of November set Upon Carolina once mere “free add dteendiralied."' JVa have fiWtaaea passed by dodga owoaand opon BmaUa, Gardcao and SlHfllOH Carpenter. Bmal to tranafefs bis labors from Congress to the penitentiary for the term -of three yearn, Cardoso spends two years in tha county Jail and pays a flfna of four thousand dol lars, ol la default of ptyment to to ba confined an additional year, 1 while I* Case Carpenter is to pay a fiae of one thousand dollars and remain In Jail thing it is rarely ^ ewe feat tbe rsaw lot two years. Justice baa come on frequently heard,wad perhaps it may be true that some of ths oomniccs of tbs Primary EJacUaas Agala; Anterior to tha wa)r nomtnaUag son* were an known In oar S^ste. The enutneipstioa of the slaves la the Boetbara States and the introduction of another political element in our midst necessitated the adoption of some meas ure by which fee whole power of these different elements could be, respectively, eonctontfsted. Hence fee plan of elpoU log delegates from tbe various election precincts to a county convention, wh should have the power of naming tlHf eawdlditrs of their respective existence. From the ion until tbe 7th of democratic convenrion would not have received the ananhnous support they did receive had il not been for the great na* cesrity of preserving the unity of the party in that period of supreme peril. If this is tree it reflects fee highest credit on such as were patriotic enough to sialt all personal prejudices apd oqnsidoraUoos for the redemption and prosperity of the Common wealth. We thiol it was tbe simple duty of every son to bury all per sona) feeling which jeopardised the State's welfare; bat we have always thonght tha performance of one’s simple duty worthy tf th^ highest praise. If it were We vronld agbL advocate an implicit obodlehas to the Seminations of A county eonveation ; hut wa do not think the convention system necessary, and therefore We oppose it wife this impor- that if it should be tnally derided to eontlaoe the oonven- tiwi sysiam, we will ftal ourselves bound by its aslion. Oaf vleWi are that the primary elec tion system Is better and more satisfac tory la every way, provided it is properly done. ' Onr theory is to have^the nomi nations of all candidates made in this w»y. We utterly oppose that systemof pri mary elections which priy goes to the ex tent ot elefeting delegates to a nominal' in^ oonvdntion. This we r^ard as uareTy “whipping the davil around the atoxap.” ThU latter system was recently * (ha itSVifestonlmnillripJ nominatious, and has given great dissat isfaction, which will result in having two dampcratic tickets in the field. Our idea is substantially as followm t 1. Let the Executive Committee of the democratic party for Barnwell county assemble at the Court House, say about the 1st of July next ’ ‘ _ v , . 2. Having met, let feat committee is, 'sue a proclamation calling upon the elec tors of the party in the county to send in to the secretary (by registered letter to avoid all chance of miscarriage) the names of all candidates, whether self • Dominated or otherwise, by a given date, say 1st of August. S. On the 1st of August tbo secretary be required to make out a complete bsl of all the candidates ior nomination to tha various offices and submit them tin' der oath to the executive committee, wbo will moot again an feat data aid have the same published h» both papers. 4. At this meeting let tbe executive committee order an election at each dub house of the democratic party in this county, say on the lot of September, to vets on these names, with instructions fur eaeh club to seud np a sworn state ment of fee rote, say within five dap af ter fee election. ^ ff. At fee end of the fifth day fee ex fee white tax payers of South Carolina ware under tbo su premaqy pf fee extreme radical whg of - ri*s national republican party—a party consisting mostly of nogrtws «Awh^i adventurers, wbo had for their object personal aggrandisement. The discipline of this party was perfsflt in eB its branch es and details, while the democratic party, disheartened by repeated defeat and injustice, bad alteoet wasted fee lamp of hope in its bosom, la politics as welt is in (Weryfehsg riM these if a t point beyond which tlto^sgfe-Saxon will not go—there fra some depths of humil- iatio* sad degrees of tyranny they will B0( submit to.
