'o Editor The Union Times: It is strange that it should ie so and yet it is a fact that there are sumo rho claim that they did not understand the ith Section of the resolutions passed almost inanimously by ilie Union County Demoxatic Convention at its recent session. The esolutionb were first passed at a meeting of he Joucsville Democratic Gluo and publish:d in your columus and those of the Ileadight, the Register, the Cotton Plant and he News and Courier two or three weeks >eforc they were passed by the Union Couny DemocraticCouventiou. In that Convenioti they were considered and passed upon loiiiiiro, and an effort made to table the oth icction which failed to receive more than ux or seven votes If it was not then understood it was not because there had not been iniple opportunity to understand it. The 'act that no explanations were then asked 'or is presumtive of the fact that the Contention understood this fifth section. The resolution simply declares "higher educa iaD, or it you prefer University Education ?o far ns it relates to mntters of studies purey classical, literary and scientific, unneces?ary to tlie stability of the best form of popular governineut, and then proceeds to soy -we udvocate a Constitution which will prohibit competition ou the part of the State with institutions" of tiiat. character sup' ported by voluntary ctfjrt, such as the six private colleges wc have in this Suite. 1 hare heard this remark an 1 from some jf the candidates fur tho Constitutional Courcntion: I atu opposed to tho States keeping up such colleges as Ilia South Carolina College, but 1 do not want the State to be prevented from having such institutions if ihepeop'c want them. It is very singulation they should overlook the f*?t that, the Constitution is the voice of the people. If they say that the Legislature and executive branches of the government, shall not iusti lute such competition, is this uot expressive of whit they wain? The Constitution is the^ sum total of the peoples voice, the govern uieiit is the voice only of the tuojority of the people. The Constitution is intended to bind ilic government in the interest ot the people. I lie section of the resolution which is utiJer discussion simply rays that ihe peop'e Jo not wish the way left open for tho Legislature to lbtce such competition as (lie resolution condemns.
