COLUMBIANS;'C. fflday Morning ft^wr1, ftffl. Tho True lum I? th? Worth Be tween tho Beniocrat? a?? lUpnljllcani an the ? jraw^tia^'iyxiaiw?i?it;'' >.'?? '?'ii { ; The Nfew Xrt* Tr^,;jt) commenting upon Senator'Sumner's' 'tf?ceiit speeoh, very properly 'soys that the read question ie not whether the freedmen of tho South or&?^ 'to Ww^WW^iWvX TVrUrgSnmt TT wvwCr vested IQ Congress. The World re marka- ??f*? I??*2 !??J has very justly. Said,' never has been back? ward in ?xlefcdirig the right of suffrage. But.it.has ??t?ays maintained, just what the founders of our Government main tainod, that-our p?litieal1 system mnst rest; for ile? eproer-stone, on tho princi? ple ihat ihe.right of yoting ic to bo kept, in every State, in tho hands Of tho State itself; that as soon, as this principle is departed:from, just ad soon all power to maintoin . the , States M self-governing communities- is gone; and that thereafter ov?ry Stot?'afuse ' submit to bo governed by any class of description of its inhabi? tants to ^bdmVcorropt majority of ita memb^s|,?4^WJ?^as may choose to consign it. Evory man of sense knows perfectly Well that, if Congress is to make tho btw? oi* suffrage, it must either make uniform 1awa, dr ,must make laws that will vary in different localities. Uni? form laws of suffrage throughout the States would bo a'mischievous and im? practicable sob?me; and as to vesting in Congress a power to make different laws for different localities, the people of this country might ds wei' band over their liberties at onco to the keeping of any othor irresponsible body, for there could be no chook whatever on the abuses which Congress could make of its power. It is plain, therefore, what the course of the Democracy, aa a national party, is to bo on this subject. While we do not say that a negro, simply because he is a ne? gro, shall not vote, we mean to insist that the fundamental principle of the American Onion shall be preserved, namely: that every man who does vote, shall hold the right to do so of the State in which he undertakes to vote, and not Of Congress; and that no power or Authority whatever, external to a State, shall be able to dictate to the peo? ple of a State who shall or shall not ex? ercise the right of suffrage in that State. If, by means of the Reconstruction Acts and what has been done under them, the Southern States have been placed in such a situation' that Congress oan temporarily control thom on this matter of suffrage, it is perfectly plain that this situation cannot coutinno, unless the whole coun? try is to be reduced to the same predica? ment The Repnblioan party is now foroed into a puja{tion.where it finds itself in a great-dilemma. It n)U^ either give np the soborno 'of a control by Congress over suffrage in tho Southern States, or it must acquire that control in all the States. This fifteenth amendment is a struggle to get out of a glaring inconsistency. The party has already displayed that in? consistency in ita last national platform, which undertook to say that negro suf? frage iii tho States 'viInch did n'Ot rebel, ought to be left ns~& State question. Rut the country cannot long remain divided into sections governed by separate Con? stitutions of the United States, or bv separate constructions of the one Consti? tution. 'Something must be done to bring about a uniform state of things; hence, the fifteenth amendment, or what Mr. Sumner calls the slow process, to be followed, when that fails, by what he calls the summary aettlomout of tho ques? tion. Under either method of approach? ing it, the question in fact is whether the Northern -States, which did ? not rebel, are to be placed under tho same control of Congress in ibis matter of suffrage which.has beep extended over.the States that did rebel. On thia issue, the Demo? cracy are ready, and we can fight tho battle without relying on the 'rebel in? terest.'" . . ; "t Furths?, wo are, inclined ta think that the New York World is right, when it cpmm?nts as follows upon Mr. Sumner's remark that the Northern Democracy oppose tho fifteenth amendment, and thht( in this they were aided by the "rebel interest." The World Baya: "lu one respect, however, we differ with Mr. Sumner. We agree with him concerning the probable future attitude of his party. Rut with regard to our own,, wo think we can tell him that tho .rebel interest' will not bo tho sold 'cro? nies' of the Democracy in tho great bat? tle that is to be fought on thc question whether Congress shall make ana nmasc voters, or whether each State shall retain that power for itself. In this issue, wo ore to have for 'cronies' every raco of L - ropoan origin, the members of which, from their first landing on our shores, are capable of understanding-as most of them do understand-thatthostrength and the security of our and their liber? ties depend on tho great principle that the control of suffrage is to be withhold from Congress; a body that can never use any power, over the subject but for corrupt and despotio purposes. There is not an Irish, a German, or any othor European emigrant, who does not know, as soon as he bas obtained or sought for naturalization, that the founders of this great country, who designed it'as ahorno of freedom for him os well as for their own posterity, intended to guard his rights of suffrage by placing them whore Congress cannot touch thom. Every such emigrant knows that if, for the pur? pose of making- negro votes for the use of the present dominant party, the con? trol of the laws of suffrage is to be taken from the States and vested in Congress, his political freedom will bo a freedom to vote with that party, or to have the right of voting withheld from him. Let Mr. Brunner understand, therefore), that, Senator Hnmner'n Restant for the Coa atltullon Of HU Country. We believe it -was the Athenian law? giver, Solon, who said that laws were bnt spider's webs-they catch the weak, bnt ?fie BtreV^^rt^TOft^THeTffT "Wharf the.aboient Athenian "said > by tray bf re? proach, the sage of "modem Athena" seems heartily to approve and adopt. In Mr. S um per'a view, constitutions are no moro than cobwebs-to bo fe wept asido whenever party interest or party malig? nity may require it. Alluding to the faet that tho fifteenth amendment has not yet obtained the requisite number of States, be says: "Here let mo say, frankly, that I have never ceased to regret-I do now most profonndly regret-that Congress, in its plenary powers under the Constitution especially in its groat unquestionable power to guarantee a republican govern? ment in the States-did not summarily settle this whole question, so tb at it should no longer disturb the country. It was for Congress to give a definition of a republican government; nor need it go further thau our own Declaration of Independenee, where is a definition from which there is no appeal. Thero it is, as it came from our fore-fathers, in lofty self-evident troth, and Congress should have applied it Or it might have gone to tho speech of Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg, where again is the saino great definition. There was also a great precedent As Congress made a civil rights law, so should it have made a political rights law. In each case the power is identical. If it eau be done in tho one, it cnn bo done in the other. To my mind, nothing is clearer. Thus for, Congress has thonght otherwise. Thero remains, then, the slow process of constitutional amendment, to Which the country must be rallied." ' From this, it will be seen that Mr. Sumner does not propose to go to the Constitution to ascertain the powers of Congress, but to the Declaration of Ih dopenoe! or to tho speech of Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg! Wo have heard of an appeal to a "higher law" in times gone by. It has been reserved for Sena? tor Sumner to pass by the Constitution, and to look for the grant of powers to Congress in tho Declaration of Inde? pendence, or in a speech of Abraham Lincoln. Comment is unnecessary. But this we may add-that Mr. Snmner is a good type of his party. If thero ever was a party that has utterly ignored the Constitution, it is the Republican party; and if there ever was a Congress that sought to absorb all the powers of go vernmont within itself, it is a Bepubli can Congress. Under the rule of such a party, the march of the conntry to unity, consolidation and empire is sure and cer? tain. Let us hope that the reins may be taken from it, and that the republic may be restored. Hon. J. A. Boyce, of Cincinnati, here? tofore a prominent radical, in a commu? nication to the Cincinnati Enquirer, says: "I have severed myself from tho Republican party, because it is an organ? ized hypocrisy, a shuttling dissimulation, a fraud, a delusion and a snare, a combi? nation of grasping fanatics, fattening on the vitals of the wealth producers and wealth distributors ol the country." Mr. Boyce evidently understands the organi? zation from which he has parted. -?^??-1-H SOUTHERN SECURITIES IX NEW YOIIK.

Nover since steamship servioe was suc? cessfully inangurrited between New York and Charleston by that pioneer "steam? ship enthusiast, tho late Capt. M. Berry, twenty-three years ago, baa there been such a rush of freights for thia port at Now York, as in the last (twenty days. Not only are the six large steamers load? ed to the full, but extra steamers have to be chartered to satisfy shippers, besides whioh a fleet of sailing packets have to be pnt on between tho two ports. \Charleston Courier. A colored man, named Jim Johnson, was lynched on Thursday, near Cum? minsville, Mo., by a hand of colored men he bad swindled out of bounties. hope for the youth of Sooth Carolina. . It - moy be1 that - it will lopen with a * smaller number of stud finta tlmrr horoto- i fore. This may bo reasonably an ti ci- ! pated, when it is considered that three able professors havo recently resigned cu?loa away by more profitable employ? ment-aud ineffectual 'Steps have as yet been taken to fill their places. But it will bo only a temporary check. The people aro getting easier in their aircuin* stances-good crops, with remunerating prices, will create both the ability and desire to give their sons the advan? tage of thorough education. Tho classic balls of the University will soon be filled with crowds of ingenuous youth unwill? ing to abandon their native State, and attracted to the University by its past glories, its noble library, its salubrious location, and its learned and zealous professors, having for their chief a gen? tleman of large and cultivated in tell ec t, whose name is a synonym for honor and truth; and all tho virtues which grace the character of a Christina gentleman. Lot us, then, sustain the University; let there be no more resignations, and let the young gentlemen of the State feel that something is due to a home institu? tion, not incompatible With their educa? tional interests. It. is but simple justice to tho new Legislature and to tho new Trusteos to say, that they have shown a disposition to sustain the University and its old and learned corps of professors. In their further efforts to this end, let them fill tho vacant chairs with able, learned and moral men, without regard to parti/ or sec? tion; such men as will be u guarantee to parents that their sons will be under moral and religious influence in tho Uni? versity, and there need be no apprehen? sion as to its future usefulness and pros? perity. Let our young men remember tho great names among the alumni of the South Carolina University, and let them determine to add their own to tho distinguished roll, us au additional glory to their own State institution. Let us ull unite, ns a matter outside of party and politics, to gi vo new lifo aud energy to these halls of learniog. Next to the temples of tho Most High, the steady walks of our institution of learning should bo uninvaded by the contention of party and tho heat and dust of politi? cal excitement. So let it be now and for tho future. SENEX. Tho Sumter Watchman publishes the following communication: MR. EDITOR: I was present, with a number of others, at Fleming's Shelter' (Old Hardis,) near Swimming Pens, in this County, on Sunday, September 19, and heard Rev. W. E. Johnson, colored Senator, preach. In his sermon, he told tho colored people that Christ was an African, was born in Africa and preached his first sermon in Africa. That Mary, his mother, was a black woman, and Jo? seph, his father, an African and a block man. All this he said gravely and posi? tively. Rev. Joseph While was prosent. I, Burrell James, another colored mem? ber of the L?gislature, contradicted the statement, and demanded his proof. Ho persisted in his assertions. May we not ask, "what manner of man is this?" B. JAME8. SCUT ER, Septomber 25, 1869. VIEWS OF A PROMINENT SOUTHERNER. Gen. N. B. Forrest bas written a sharp letter, denouncing a fire-eating Southern editor, who spoke of his associating with persons with whom he does not agree politically Os disgraceful and disgusting. Ho says he is engi.. ed in building a rail? road which will be of vast advantage to Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee, and that in his opinion thc accomplishment of this enterprise is an object worthy tho ambition of any man, and to one who loves his country, aud humbly seeks to serve the interests of his fellow-citizens, is far above the considerations of mere partisan politics. He adds that his ob? ject has boon to bring peaco to the coun? try aud prosperity to the people; to soften down the prejudices of men of both parties, and, in the development of tho great material interests of the coun? try, to smooth the asperities engendered by tho wur, and efface alike tho marks and tho memories of strife. Au alarming report comos from Mon tana. It is to t he effect that Impeacher Ashley, tho Territorial Governor, has "flopped" over to tho Democracy. He made a speech at Bozcman City a few days ago, and astonished the audience by declaring that ho was in favor of raak ing Montana a "white man's Govern ment." Probably this apostacy is duo to tho fact that Ashley went to Montana lo get himself into tho United States Se nate, and Montana has just gone Demo eratic by 2,000 majority. FATATJ AFFRAY.-The Macon Telegraph givos the particulars of a fatal affray be? tween two young men named Samuel Colson and T. N. Mason, in which the latter was killed. The shooting took place at Coloy'? Station, on tho Macon and Brunswick Railroad.
