Ednrntion for (lie I’eoplv*—fiiood iVli-B for ICrpreftculntivcM. Mr. Editor : The question “Who shall wc send to the Legislature ?’’ is the topic of the hour, and is being freely discussed. In all modesty, I would like to make a few suggestions which occur, to me as bein which, ns scarcely afford to neglect. The term “Representative” is a very significant one: infer nliu. Webster gives the tv\o following definitions: ‘•'Fitted to represent, '‘eahibitinj lilt^ nestwhile, us a noun, it is “one acting j for another. ” Now, as “like'unerringly begets like,’’ our General Assembly will inevitably be composed of .representative Representatives, that is to suy, of Repre sentatives exhibiting a likeness to those who sent them there, e.ntl the more thoroughly their characters assimilate 4o our own the more completely will they be " fitted to represent” us. So the world will judge, and not inaptly, both us and theta. . The Lighei; the respect then we enter tain for <yir reputation abroad as a God fearing, moral, and intelligent people, the highei will be the gnidg, in these three particulars, of our Mouse of Rcpre^nta lives; and, as a logical sequence, the purer will be our laws, the more whole some will becomaibc tone of our socie ty, and, proportionably, the more intelli gent and happy will be tbo people. But on the other hand, if we have become an irreligious, immoral, Vicious and*igno- ront people, we will show it to the world through the medium of qur Rcprcsenta five*, we will seal our own disgrace, cqmpa&} our own ruin, and our children and our children’s children, dutifully copying from the models kc have setup, “like begetting like,” will gradually sink down below contempt. It appears to me that the great need of the time is good men and intelligent men ; men gootl enough to fear God and bate vice, and intelligciitcnough to rei-’ cognise, the fact that the largest propor- fion of our publfrtronlifts spring from ignorance. We already have a supera bundance of laws.' It would be very to its people, and a disgrace to th* State, and the people have a right to demand citlmr the eutiro abrogation of the public. ? |' ' i» l| 48B»MaMPW ,,T ' 1l,nl "‘'■ 11 " '"" t - - ' * A * ■ school law, or the creation of a .system that shall ensure to tlic people something like substantial cdueatiorfilj advantages. No people, as ignorant fts the mass of our people is .now, is seonre in the pos session of its liberties, its privileges or its rights. A few unpriuc’pled, nmbi tious demagogues may, at tiny time, by flattery, a display of glittering but empty talents, and shrewd, artful combinations, draw them into a bottomless pit. lyno- ranee is flic xfioeny that .destroys the lie- l>ulUcon aj>fle. The people, in a Re public, ore the sovereign rulers t they -s very important, apd a sensible people, we can rule through their Representatives, and, as an ignorant, weak monarch has often found in his minister a Nemesis, in the Shaj e of a usurper, a tyrant, or a para site crushing him in its toils, so the peo ple of a Republic, ruling by their Repre sentatives, have but two roads open to them, their Representatives leading. One road to happiness, prosperity and pc^ce, or *. V slavery, poverfy and vice. The education of the people is the vi tal question of the hour. No man should be sent to^ the Legislatikre who does not so regard it, who does not consider it paramount to every other consideration, and wlio will not pledge himself to de mand a thorough consideration fur it. The whole matter lies in a nut-shell. A public school system that will keep the schools open long chough to impart in- stmetron, a remunerative pay for the teacher who devotes himself intelligently to bij calling that will eneoutage and se cure an efficient staff of teachers in every county, and a unifqnu scale of iustiue■ tion.

Editor: While 1 do not pro fess to be a politician, yet believe it to be the duty of every good citizen to give his opinion upon matters of public interest to the State and county in which he lives, and now that the colored men have been fa vend !v impressed by the libs^Fftltpulic) ..e e 1 tbem by our Chief Magistrate, t >- .leh for liberal polhi- cal conswbjNie} sentiment- and integrity ol character. Let us learn a lesson here, this is the key note to the'solution of the problem involving the c lured vote. This question of the best manner oFicon trolling this vote is a question with which the democracy of the South will have to contend at a very early day, and every step made towards adjusting it sliquld be made with ..deliberation and caution. The colored men are ^citizens and voters in our country tluugU they are ignorant. These facts tve cannot help. They must be fairly dealt with by the Democracy ; any other course will fail to do away with the prejudice width now exists and unite them with us ,n .furtherance of peace ant] good govern- nuent. Wo arc bound to acknowledge the c-t lored men our political equals, made so by “the powers that be” in out nation and State where our destinies are cast, and we cannot annul or change them if we would while the colored man holds the balance qf power as he now does in many of the counties. The white man should not ignore his rote. If he does it is at the peril c( his own interest and that of our common country. With these facts being true it becomes a ques tion of no common, interest how wc should place ourselves politically with the negro so as to Control and direct the influence of. his vote., We-certaialy car not do it by standing aloof and him to the manipulation of unxer and cunning politicians, ecjL’vags carpet-baggers. We must a$>i.ine a sition that will enable us tq brin£.our sa- perior intelligence in contact with the ig norant voter and thus iMbrc readily com trol it, and there can be no better time than the present to take this position that it may have on influence in Ihe coming election. I am of the opinion that Ab beville and Greenville counties have adopted the true and wise policy, for if the Democracy should cast off and dis- t»y the Wushlnsion Artillery. At .a special meeting tho Wash ington Artillery, hold on Thursday avening, Capt. Ellison A. Smyth pre siding, the following preamble and. resolutions were presented by Lieut. F. W.

Qualification No. 1: Wisdom. Y«Te want wise rather than knowing men. Many of our most knowing men nre our greatest fools, and. conversely, many who Jtnow comparatively little are our wisest nrem Our legislators need knowledge, indeed, it isindespen- sable, but without wisdom it is practi cally useless. Knowledge is like brick pd mortar aud lumber—-wisdom is ke the completed house. We. must have the former, but they will never protect us fivra the weather until tho rehltect evolves a house from them. It may be asked, what is wisdom on the part of a legislator? I answer, in seeing what is needed on the part *of the people, and then what is tho best means to be used in obtaining it for them. By best, I do^notmean in tho sen«»e, will it pay ? - for wisdom never asks that question, only to prevent us from attempting the impossible. This question, will it pay ? may do for a corrupt aud dishonest Radical legisla tor, but never for what the name Dem- woya Iocs imply ao^hoiKWikbUv^u t h- ful, brave *nd sincere legislator, and ! am sorry to say >o*t here,* that too tnueh of ibis “wiUjit pay’*Fbas ewayed the course taken by too many of our •o-cailed Democratic , legislator*. f inductive and prto*} w* should work together for the beat in* of our comiibo oqucfty!* p*ace, when our legislaton consider the in terests of the people, but)* never safe when applied to tbemaelve*.
