" President -Waking. "A united boom upon (lie pnrl of the Southern press just at this time would force bis nomination, aud ho is undoubtedly their choice." This is what a Washington Corres pomb nt of the "N< ws and Courier" has to say in reference to Mr. Bay ard, and the .Southern pi ess. The '?.News and Courier'' is already oil the track, and wet-suppose in less than a fortnight most, if not all, of the country pnj eis will he in line. Now as much as we ainire Mr. 3'nynrd for his exalted character, his unsclfndi patriotism and his unflinch ing integrity, and as much as we would like to see him President of the United States, we entirely disap prove the policy sugge-tod. Row we freely admit that Bayard is our choice and the choice of the South; but the plan of the corres pondent SC' ins to be for the So.itheru press to start, up such a howl for him that the Northern wing of the Demo cracy will be for ad to'yield to the c'amor and unite with us to nomi nale him. In fact his meaning is clear when he. says that such a boom "would force bis nomination." Now we think \cry differently on this subject. We think if the Sou th would let President-m.iking a'ona aud look to home rule, leaving this business to tho North, the National Democracy would be more apt. to Miccocd. Is any one so bliniPns not to see that the recent Republican victories are due to the fear of the "solid South," and the belief so sedulously fostered by campaign orators that the South is seeking lo control the National government? And will this j obey of President making on our part allay these fears or weaken this belief? Republican s'umpers in Ohio and New York omit ho opportunity to dub the present National Assembly the ''Confederate Congress," und the Democratic paity the ''Southern party." If wc wish success wcshou.'d avoid every thing that tends to Bcc.liona'ism; and to "force a nomina tiou" in our in'crest, and, ispecial 1 y tf one whose Southern proclivities give .strength io the cry of the ".Southern parly," would not tend in this direction. The South can't elect nJPrcsident without Now York This may be put down as a fixed fact. Tho qticstit n then is, who can carry New York? If Bayard can thin wo would like to see bis nomination rather by the spontaneous efforts of the North ern Democracy than by "a united boom in the put ol the St ulheiu press." It must be recollected however that Mr. Bayard comes irom a very small Stale, and il he carries nothing but that tu d the ".-olid South*' he must fail. In a conversation on Saturday with a distinguished Congressman irom our Stale, he expressed the opinion that he would not carry a single Northen. State. But we arc digressing. Our post lion is, thai the South had better not have too much of it linger in the Presidential pie, ami had better not. set up a howl that will "force tho nomination" of any particular favor ite. We will rue tie day il our fmg't'ring gives us Grant, whilst it would make not a partich of dolor euce if Bayard, fildon, Hancock, Dnvitl Davis, or any other Democrat occupied the Presidential chair. It may make a difference to each of llnse individtl lls, who occupies, but it w ill not lo the mas>es of the South. "Wc have already said that wo believe that injustice has been done to the man that we elected President before, but wo oller im candidate, and be lieve it Wi.tlld be. unwise for the Southern press to do so, All wo want is the success of the National Domo cracy, and we shall support the can didate put forward by the. Conven tion. It is very certain that no greater political evil could befal us than G mutism. No Monopoly?Diversified Indus try?Small Farms The indications ore apparent that the old question of the Tariff will enter largely into the policy of the next campaign. The tariff bil| will come up in ingress to be regulated, and the discussion will bp lively. '1 In re is no doubt that lice trade will give us cheaper articles in every line of importation, as was clearly shown in the removal oflho protective duties on <]? it'll lie which has broken up the monopolists, and placed the article within reasonable bounds. And so it is with other articles. The present tariff protects the manufacturer against tho agriculturist, and in as milch ns it increases the cost of ail articles of use received from abroad, it is virtually the taxation of all other classes to protect the manufacturer. It hus been a taxation ot the South and West to support New Englan 1, Bui now things arc changed. Manufactories' are springing up all over the South) and we hope in time, to hear the whirring of the factory iu every community: This, with emnH farms, and diversified industry, will alone, bri..g prosperity to the South. With the fruits of the ground nt low rates, and paying the highest prices for every thing we have made, will impoverish any com munity. It wo want to prosper we must make everything within ourselves. The epiudleaud the plow must go to gether. Under this prospect of a change in our industries we must ask our states men to act with cure. We have always been for free trade and believe that protection, as with the quinine monopoly, is a grind ing oppression upon ihe people, but the (ariff laws should be revised with a zealous eye to particular in terests, and with a full knowle Ige of the fact that we are slowly advancing in manufactures a.id diversified in dustries, and hope in time to e*j'ial our Northern brethren in this respect. Our interests are hot altojjtlnr as tlioy were,in the days of slavery, i We are fully satisfied that the future prosperity of the South de pends upon the extent to which her induslties are diversified. Agriculture alor.e. especially in one line, will never bring prosperity! Besides making what wo cat, we must make what we wear and every thing else. We must turn our cotton into clothes, our hides into .shoes, and make the utensils with which we work Every farm must be self-support ing. If we arrive at this, tiie same tariff will be wanted for the whole coun* ry. Slill we have not reached this point, and there laws will needcousiderati >n. Eel our leaders then be wise, and make no mote false moves on the chess board. We arc fully aware that in the present industrial rela tions of the two sections, the North being a manufacturing, and the South j an agricultural community, the pro? I teelivo-tarilf laws are an outrage up j on the South and West. But, besides j legislation, we would like also to remedy the evil by diversifying our pursuits, and wc believe that this is being gradually accomplished. We teg ret, however, that our County is taking no steps in this di rection. If we bring the mills and fac tories down South, instead of sen lin g our cotton North,'.he tariff laws need give us no concern. The remedy will have been applied, ami we will become a prosperous und happy peo ple. Our position is a guarded revision of the I a rill* laws, and a breaking up of all unju-i and sectional ptotectiv.e monopolies, but along with all, as of paramount importance, a diversi Ren lion of industry and small farms down South. The former we refer to the wisdom of our legislators; the latter to the enterprise of <>nr prinple. Hie litmus Hi brown coal discov ered by Prof, Bibikovseem to be in a lair way of being utilized A com pany has been formed in Georgia with a capital of $00,000 to work up the mines; and last week an experi ment was made with it on a Georgia railroad with perfect succes, a num ber of freight cars half loaded being drawn from otto s<alion to anotlu r with easo. A number of scientists nud railroad mon went along to wit ness the test. The Olive Branch. The action of the Dom icrutic Con - yeutioii on Moutlay was sufficient for all the demands of tho Sale party. If not accepted, tc our vitw, it will ho a clear indication that there is no disposition to conciliate on tho part of the opposition. It will look very inui h as if the Sale wing of the party is in league with the Republicans. The resolutions of tho Convention exhibit a patriotic elfort at reconcili ation which will ho admired all over the Htnte. A Committee h.is*becu appointed to confer with Mayor Sale und Capt. Courtenay and endeavor to heal the breach for tho good of the pa rty. It is proposed that each candidate submit his chances to a fair and honest Pritnur} of the Democratic parly; managers being appointed for both sides. Mayor Hale in his speech from the City Hall a few weeks ago bantered Mr.Courtney for this very thing. What more does he want? What more does he a.?k ? If he does not accept the propositions, we think it is decided beyond all peradventure who are the true Democrats of Charleston. The Courtney it es may be called the Broad stree'. clique and the Bond men, but this test will show which side loves the State more than self. The Primary. This mode of nominating candi dates has now been fully adopted in Charleston in place ol the Convention system. The "News ami Courier" has ad vocated it ever since 1876; but it has only been partially used iu that city until now. We suppose if the breach which now exists iu that, city is not healed, and the Republicans carry too day it will all be ascribed to the Primary system. It will be forgotten that the very breach it-self was caused from the Convention system. Had it not. been for the Conven tion system and its objectOu-, there would have been no divisio t. This is ? the reck-upon which tb?-sp^tt wai* made. Now that both wings of the Dnnv cracy have declared for the Primary system, if they w< ttld unite, all would bo well. They both agree now Why not coalesce and inarch on to victory ? New York. All eyes are now turne 1 to Now York, where the gtcat battle will be decided next week. The election takes place on the 4th, and if it goes against us, we will have a very dubious battle in 1880. Tilden will beset aside like Thurmau, and B.iy ard v ill he rushed to the front. Without New York we can hardly elect a Democratic President. St ill the losing of New York now, does not mean its loss in 1880. '1 he present is a State question, on which the party has split. The next will be a national question, iu which the conflicting elements will hardly be pitted against each other. A Sad Admissioa. _ Tilden was sacrificed by his friends in the last election, and they were de? cived by Hayes and swindled by partisan judges. He is not our first choice, but he is p'euty honest enough to run the office and that is about all that ia looked for now. Purity and statesmanship have been driven out for politicians.?
