upon Senator'Sumner's' 'tf?ceiit speeoh,
very properly 'soys that the read question
ie not whether the freedmen of tho South
or&?^ 'to

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.

It - moy be1 that - it will lopen with a *

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?

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?"

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.

received orders from thia Omeo to do BO. I
unaware that tho seaton at which taxos be?

the approval of tho Oovernor, extensions of

ferred by law. In order to givo ample time to
all who wish to pay their taxes, it has beon
decided to extend tho timo for the collection
ot taxes to tho 15th of the present month. It
Is believod that by that time all who depend
upon the salo of crops to moot thoir taxes will
