ed a glowing temporanco lecture,
recently, in Beaufort. 3ut when
the time eano for signing -the
pledge, ho declined, on the ground
that being under charges of intemn
peranef, -a pledge of abstenanco
might imply an acknowledgoment of
the fau't. The excuse wris thin, but
Wright will enjoy his "thart ha
1)arilla."
THiE PAN "PItnerIyTrAN council is
in session in Edinbiurg. As its
namo implies, it is Composed of dele
gates from all Presb3terian bodies
in the world. Dr. McCosh of
Princeton, Dr. Smith of New Or,
loans, and Dr. Jhuner of Columbia,
are the most prominent Ameriecin
Presbyterians in attendance. While
it will be, of course, impossible to
lnitL all' the. different. sets into one,
it is hoped that they will be enabk'd
to unite on certain fimdanental
principles, which will bring the
churedI nonver together, and increase
its tnrofulness agyainst evil.
A Question Answered.
Ne1h'srs. Editors .
Soie of us in this part (of the
county, believing that editors know,
or ought to know, everything, re
spectfully rugimst'yo to inform us
whether a straightout Democratic
nominating conven tion 'has any
right, under the miles and laws
governing the Democracy of the
country, to entertain for nomiuntion
to any oflico tho-name of try party
or parties who may not be rceogniz
0d members of said organization
An answer will very much oblige a
number of 'SDJE-HEADS.'
We wish our friends would ask
us some "easy questions," such as
the theory of evolution, er .tlbe
docteino of traneubstantiation or
the true inwardness of the 'Beecher
Tilton affair. It is hardly right to
jump suoh a question as tho abovo
on such short notice 111)o11 an un
suspecting and humblo member of
the quil-driving fraternity. As an
editor, however, is expected to tackle
every question presentedl to hinm,
whatever ho its complicationls or
mlagnitu'do,-wo will comp~ly with the
request of our' "Sore-head" friends
to the boa~t of our ability.
Thero is a distinction bettwoon
p)ower and expedieney, between the
right to do a thing anid'the p~olicy of
doing it. The first is absolute, the
second depends upon1 -sur.rouinding
circustancos existing at the time
that the question of exercising the
right arises. In Republican institu
tions, the widest latitude is allowed
to personal thought, and personal
action. 'A party is an aggregation
of individuals, and a party has
therefore the broadest powers ox,
copt when limited 'by its 'Constitu
tion. Not having a constitution. to refer
to, we must deduce principles from
precedents. In 1872, the National
Democratie Convention endor'sed
G roeley and Browvn, Liberal Repub
licans. About that same time the
Democrats and Granger's of
Wiscovsin and the other Western
States nominated mixed tickets.
In 1874 Dorsheimor, a Liberal Re
publicau, ,was nominated and elected
.by the Dorunocraks, lioutonant-gov-.
V ..ornor of New York. .In 1876 the
Newv York Democrats nominated
John Bigolow, a 'Liberal, for Secre
~tary of State, and .in 1876 'they
chose Lucius Robinson, another
Liberal, for .governor. In 1870,
.also, tihe Democrats of Massachu
setts nominated Chaeles Francis
.Adams,. a Liberal Republican, for
governor. These p~recedonts seem
to. show .that the Demnooratie party
has assorted' its p)ower.to go beyond
party limits -.when policy demands
such a stop.
The next question is as to the
policy. .This, (every member of .the
party must decido for himself. In
the precedents cited, two different
phases were presented, one in which
the party felt itself too weak to win
firmly united, 'itsolf, it desired to
increase its power by annoxing to its
.organization a certain elomont not
previously allied to it by political
ties, but !entertaining sympathy for
its ends, and hostility to the aims of
the opposing organization. In the
first instance, the I)emnoerats were
brought over to the Liberal 1opub
licans, and lost. In the second, they
brought in the Liberals to their
camp, and won. The first was bad,
the second was good policy ; the dif
fereuco consisting in the "bringing"
and .tho "being brought."
Another axiom ofi political policy
is first, to liarmonize and solidify
your own party, and then to gather
accretions of strength fromi without.
Both .iue of importaneo, but the for
mer is of chief nmomoi.
We .believe we have shown that
the Democratic ;party luis asserted
the right sto do just what it.
pleases, but that the policy of ex
ercising that right depends on cir
eumstances to be deaidel acordin"
to the rules given above. 11e iolicy
ii: always to be settled by a lmjority
of the pArty through their d(-legates
in ConlveIulion, ani d that dec'esiou
nutst be finial. For the good of the
party, the minori t naitt yiell.
The Court has charg npo min the
law. The jury must decide the facts.
Their ve'rdict is final.
