WINNSBORO. 8. (. aATURDAY, NOVEAUIR 16, 1878. 7j. MRANS 11, VIS, EITOlt. JNO. . Nj'0INOLD-, AssoCIATH EDITOU. "C. McK." we see was appointed by the managers of the fair one of the cornm11ittee on "Fine Arts and Litera tire." Is "Redtiond's Best" entered under the first or the second head? The Monroe Doctrine, For the beneilt of those interested, we publish the exact words in which President Monroe enunciated the proposition that has since been known as the Monroe Doctrine. About the time that the independence of Mexico and the five South Anerican States was recognized by Congress, President Monroe sent a message to that body in lwhich le said: "As a principle, the American Con tineits, by the free and inidopendent position which they have assunied and maintained, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any Iuropean power." Although never acted upon, this has become an unwritten article of our constitution, and no efrort has been made by European nations to test the question, except once. During the late war between the States, France, Great Braitain and Spain carried Maximilian to Mexico, and endeavor ed to establish him there, while the United States had her hands full at home. But after the collapse of the Confederacy, the Europeani nations dropped Mexico like a hot potato and left poor Maxinilian to be shot. by the insulted natives. The power to which the United States has now attained may well miake any European nation think twice before trying con clusions, with the Monroe Doctrine. A Politival Peakeniff. E. W. M. Mackey, of Charleston, is unhappy. He snuted the flesh pots of Congress from afar; and lie failed to get nearer to theim than the city of Charltoh. To a statesman wIthout occupation, a seat in Congress with a snug little salary of flve thousand a year Is not to be despised, and it is not at all unnatural that Mackey should feel disappointed in being a second time rejected. But that is no excuse for going off and telling all sorts of naughty stories about the wickedness of the Democrats. Yet he miakesthcimost dreadful disclosures through the colunns of the New York Tribune and the National Republi can, showing that the' people of South Carolina are lost beyond redemption. The minuteness of detail and the grapic, delineation of the alleged frauds lpoint conclusively to Mackey's own intimiate acquaintance with this peculiar phlase of political manage mient. As wilth the German philoso piher who evolved an elephant or some other beast out of his own innier conl sciousness, so Mackey, from the profundity of his political experience, has evolved an entire elephanit, trunk, tusks,.ears, smoll and all. He wvell knows how lie has counted out his opp)onents whenever occasion die mnanded and opporOtunIity offered, and hIe therefore brazenly charges tile Democrats wvith pursing the samme tactics thlat have made himi great. Has it not been an open jest for years how when Blowen and DeLarge ran for Congress in 1870, the DeLarge boxes in Charleston and the Boweni boxes in3eaufort were stfe rg larly every morning and evening for ten days, as the report from either p)lace wvas received? Or is it forgot ten that In 1874 hiaekey beat the Re publican ticket five thousand votes in the city, and, even worse, broke up a Chamberlain meeting in Charleston, the mob drowning Chamberlain's voice with yells, pitching Judge Mel ton off the stand and smashing Judge Mackey's wvhite beaver? Mackey ran that election, anid lost his seat in Coil gross on the ground- of fraudulent votes. He can wvell afford to sing a reqiem over* the graw of departed piolitical pu1rity. But lie is not content withl general charges. His sp)ectlcations are mnuute. .Amlong Qther things he0 asserts that "at then poll kinown as the C Palmetto EngIne House, one of tile lmnagers, W. L. Daggett, the fore man of tile News- and Uour'ier job p)rinting office stuffed 2,500 of these little tickets in the box after the poll was closed." It aatter.o great pleasure to us that Mr. Daggett has already instituted suilt for libel aghiinst Mackey for tils wvhopper; and as Mr. Daggett never does anything in a half way nMannei' We' prodict that lhe will '5 make thinks lively 'when court meets. Mackey's chmarge rejuninds us of tile fellow whi stud hisu hen laid nine hunl dred and litykno -eggsu at' drie time, and when aphel.dlby.. ho didn't say a thousand, "Do you think," re plied heVJ'thatI'dtelra lie about omne egg?" .Mackey :lapparently his Aio qualba SI ~usitg e10fei1dn1bers, even at the risk of laying an addition al egg or two. The News and Courier savs tlat, an in1vestigating cornmittee has discover ed several dark spots in Mackey's official record, anld that the people will try conclusions with hini in the courts. This is as it should be. There is no sense in being mealy muouthed any longer. Tile Radicals have raised the black fhug. Let us also fight under it, and bring the slanderers of South Carolina to jus tice. MissloNARlEs TO MEXICO.-Rev. Neill E.
