His ExceIlency, JOSEPH VANCE:
SOUTH cARoLINA.

We stated in our last that Col. John Campbell
was defeated We were deceived by the loco foco'
returns. We are happy to announce his reelection
by majority Of 456 votes over his opponent DR..
Thomas Smith. Col Campbell is opposed to Mr..
Calhoun's Sub-Treasury scheme and currency no.
tons and in favor of employing the agency Of State
Banks--though DESTROYS Of preventing them from
increasing their circulation upon the basis of the
public money. We shall not be unwilling to agree
with him in this Gen. Waddy Thompson, who has
triumphantly beaten the lion, like another Daniel
in his own den, enterains similar views in regard TO
the custody of the revenue.
Mr. Calhouns strength is evidently on the wane.
Louisiana, Georgia, the Alabama Legislature, Mis-
sissippi North Carolina and his own District have
left him but the half OF little State. His old friends
in Boston under the banner Of the striped pig" may
achieve yet something for him in the East His old
friends in Ohio have given him some consolation,
and secured the support Of the abolitoniss. He is
welcome and the administration is welcome to Mr..
Holmes. The federaliss rejoice at the defeat OF
Mr.. Legare The Globe and the Boston Courier are
united in this sentiment The little nullfer is will
ling to take the Sub Treasury, but National Bank
is in the grain and must come uppermos fpossible.
So with many other of the Van Buren, Sub. Trea-
uryites of the South "Give US National Bank or
Sub Treasury, we care not which," That is their
motto. When the tug of war comes nous rervoas.
The following table of the results of the elections
will we believe, be found strictly correct.

THE MORMON DIFFICULTIES.

The following letter appears in the ST. Louis Re-
publican Of the llth inst. That paper says, "the
writer is Of the most respectable citizens of the
upper country" The Republican adds, that mes
senger, bearing dispatches to Gov. Boggs, arrived
in ST. Louis on Thursday:
." GLASGOW, Oct 7th, 1888
As one Of a committee of six from the counties of
Howard and Charlton, appointed to visit the county
of Carroll where the disturbance exists between the
Mormons and the citizens, and TO examine into the
causes, and TO endeavor TO effect reconciliation be-
tween the parties, have thought proper to commu-
nicate to you the facts as they exist The Mornons
reside at town, six miles above the mouth Of Grand
River called De Witt. For the last week some CT
tzens of Carroll and others from Saline and Chart
ton counties, to the number of about two hundred
persons, have been assembled within mile OF De
Witt, all well armed and have piece of artillery,
threatening every day 10 attack the Mormons in De
Witt; in TACT on the 4th there was an attack made
and many guns fired from both Sides but only one
man wounded OF the mob party, as they are called.
We were there on yesterday, and endeavored to
bring about reconciliation between the parties the
citizens proposed that If. the Mormons would leave
the country and not return again, they would pay
them back the amount their property cost, with ten
per cent interest thereon and return them the amount
Of their expenses in coming in and going out OF the
country. The Mormons replied that ever since they
have been people they have been driven from place
TO place, and they had determined they should be
driven more and that they had determined, every
one OF Them TO die on the ground. There are about
100 families Of Mormons who are there and are now
encamped with their wagons in town, having just
arrived what number of men they have we could
not ascertain, but presume they have considerable
assistance from their principal toWn-Far West
in Caldwell county, about sixty seventy miles; in
tacl within the last "a hours their numbers have in
creased so much that the mob have declined an at
tack until reinforced from other counties. A mes
senger has just arrived, who left there at daylight
this morning, and reports that the guards were fred
on by the Mormons about o'clock last night, and
continued until the time he left, but no one had been
shot Of the mob. Some 20 or 80 from our county
have volunteered their assistance. The command

think ever saw more resolute and determined men
than the Mormons. II was our unanimous opinion
that if some force sufficient to suppress them does
not inerpose Immediately, there will be great slaugh

great excitement in consequence of it, and there is
no telling where it will end

The ELEcroNs.-The Loco-focos hallooed in
many instances before they were out of the woods.
The Globe, boasting the accuracy and rulhfulness
Of the Locofoco press claimed t,ceire members from
Ohio-no doubt about South Carolina-and clear
gain in New jersey. We think their ultimate gain
will prove to be, to use the Globes elegant express
sion, the leee eend of nothing whitfield down to
pint" There is no doubt that they hare gained the
ultras, and fanatics, and tagend of all parties and
sects, including Mormonites, Abolitionists, Multi
fers, Anti-Masons, Loco-focos, with due mixture
of the disafeced of every menonable body of men,
adding, also, Fanny Wright. This will be their
gain Their loss will be a majority Of the "sober

At public dinner lately given to Col Polk at

read from ex-President Jackson .s
.E NASHVILLE, August 20, 1888.
GENTLEMEN-I have the pleasure TO acknowledge
the receipt of your letter Of the 18th ult inviting

cratic Republicans of Rutherford on the 30h nst to

friends Of our Republican institutions.
beg you TO accept my sincere thanks for the kind
terms in which this invitation has been conveyed.
Nothing could be more gratifying to my feelings
than an opportunity to visit once more my fellow
citizens of Rutherford but the of my health and
the nfrmities of age scarcely allow me to hope that
can enjoy again this satisfaction Be assured how
ever, gentlemen that the time has not diminished the
interest which long acquaintance with Rutherford
and its patriotic citizens has been calculated 10 in
spire, nor has il erased from my mind the grateful
recollection Of those who shared with the perils
of the last war. / shall carry with me TO the grave
heart alive with sensibi,y to the many proofs l
have received of the confidence and favor of those
citizens in all the vicissitudes OF my life. a#
Withdrawn now from the busy stage of public
affairs and with no disposition TO enter upon il again,
repose with confidence upon the security which our
free institutions enjoy, founded they upon the
virtue and intelligence of the great OF the peo
pie. 1t was by the cooperation and aid of the peo-
pie that was able to do whatever good has resulted
from their Partially in calling othc Presidency,
and not doubling that those who have succeeded me
in the administration will look to the same
for support / cannot but anticipate for my country
the highest and most enduring prosperity.
II any thing could add, gentlemen, TO the pleasure
of visiting you, exchanging salutalions with the
citizens of Rutherford il would be the occasion Sc
lected TO honor ourdistinguished representative Col
Polk and his associates in the Republican cause
Aware Of the difficulties they have to contend with
friends of that cause can Justly appreciate the
considerations which commend them to your respect
at period like the present.

his views published in the Southern Sum- states the
following among his items Of faith, which strike us
as being very sound and sensible
am opposed to the President of the United States
being reelected to the same Office, and to the egi-
bility Of members Of Congress to office of any kind
under the United States.
believe, too the General Government with the
increase of business in its several departments is
daily becoming more difficult Of approach BY the
people This is particularly the in reference to
the Post Office Department. And the practicability
of establishing Subj Postmaster Generals Office for
each State, by whom under proper responsibilities,
the routes and contracts in the State should be regu
lated, is, perhaps, deserving of consideration.

We commend the following to the special atten'
ton of the Globe. The editor will most feelingly
appreciate the definition Of term which is one of
the stereotyped instruments of his political thunder:
Nso Definition of Ariaoeraey--There is often
great difficulty in some parts othe country especially
in election times, in drawing the line exactly be.
tween the people and the arstocrats. Perhaps the
rule adopted by the. North Carolina tavern-keeper
will throw some ighto on the subject and thus lessen
the difficulty Ii is at all events, very simple rule,
and easy Of application all occasions Il is stated
in the newspapers, which like Henry Horn, can't
lie" that an innkeeper in North Carolina, on being
asked what meaning he attached to the term aIisto
crat," replied" any man who has more money than
me- is in my estimation, an aristoerat,"

Separation Of he Money pOper from hs EreeItire
pOoer.-This proposition OF the Syracuse Conven-
,ion is likely TO become very popular. We copy an
article from the Hartford Patriot d. Democrat which
takes strong ground in favor Of H.
The Richmond Wing remarks upon 1t as follows:
This resolution of the Syracuse Convention, hits
the true cause OF the national advertisements and
until II is removed all struggles abou, the best sys-
TEN for keeping the public money will be idle. The
control over the officers entrusted with the national
funds, must be taken from the Executive before any
public liberty. The Subtreasury scheme only pro-
poses 10 divorce the Government from the Banks,
and not the Executive from the money power.
The proposition is thus distinctly stated b. The
N. r. Times;
TO he Democratic Republicans throughout The United
X u STATES:
The following resolution was unanimously passed
at the Democratic Republican Convention held al
Syracuse in this State on the Sd inst. The prepos-
ed modification Of the Constitution is vitality impor-
tant 10 the nation and we shall keep il standing in
our columns for short time, and hope the views OF
the press general will be given and forwarded 10 us
Resolved That The Democratic Republican
party throughout the United States be- and they are
hereby respectfully requested TO Cooperate with us
in procuring such a modification Of our national
constitution in resemblance TO those of the several
States as shall confer Congress the selection OF
the Secretary Of the Treasury, and such subordinate
officers conne ted with the treasures, as SHALL
for all time 10 come, place the public purse under
the control Of the immediate representatives OF the
people,"

MR.. KILGoRE.

The following letter was addressed by Mr. kilgore
TO the Governor Of Ohio, announcing his resigna-
ton The Governor has issued wrls for an election to
supply the vacancy TO be held on Thursday, The l5h
OF November Speaking Of this resignation, The
Albany Journal justly says III affords striking
proof of the difference between the real and the
pretended friends Of the people. Whorecolleels an
instance Of Loco-foco member of Congress resign
ing his place and his eight dollars day because
majority Of his constituents expressed their disap-
probation Of his principles 7" And we may add
who ever knew a Loco-foco TO practice what hc
preached2 On the contrary, who does not know
that they are eernally preaching what they never
practice We applaud the course Of Mr.. kilgore
Il is highly honorable. But in making himself an
example for the Locoocos he has cast pearls before
swine.

The Richmond Enquirer has noticed the insnua-
tons of Nous Verrons," whose epistle we pub
lshed last week. We did not exactly endorse the
article, but commended il to the reader amusing
curiosity. If it came from quarter which is shut
to the vision of the Enquirer we should think the
editor ought to have regarded our proceeding as
genuine act of charity and kindness; because it
exhibited the charges ahoat against him, and afforded
him an opportunity OF repelling them. But without
any more words, we insert the Enquirers reply in
the same spirit.
The Madisoniau has been so charitable" or
courteous to place before our eyes the letter OF
" Nous VerronS' in the Charlottesville Advocate
We do not exchange with that paper and all its
g00d things are therefore lost upon US-nnesS some
charitable journal should be charitable enough TO
dorse its publications In the present case, the au-
thor has been as unfortunate in his statements as
hundreds of his predecessors. He could not have
" stuck 10 the Enquirer through thick or thin" or
else he would have been saved from many OF the
sloughs of inconsistency into which he has been be-
trayed. In various instances to which he has re-
ferred he has not taken the illuminated Enquirer
for. his guide We never went for the gunboais I'M
der Mr.. Jefferson-nor with Mr., Madison, when he
went for the Bank-(On the contrary, we argued
against his doctrine of precedent upon the ground,
that by the same principle, the Alien and Sedition
never went for the whole Proclamation; but pointed
out the passages which required explanation-and
which we're afterwards explained by the Globe We
protested against the Protest. In other respects the
writer has done us equal injustice. He row says he
"wants light" upon the vexed question If he would
follow u.s. let him take the text OF Judge Cross, as
we have quoted il in this days paper. To that po-
Silion we have sluck"-and we mean to adhere to
it--under firm belief, that il is the best system
which can be adopted

Party spirit is debasing public morals to
the lowest degree. The practices which
have grown into vogue have nullifed the
force of virtuous example, and levelled the
influence of all men to that vulgar standard
which acknowledges no superiority but brute
force. Principle, consistency and truth, re-
ceive as little respect as the beautiful tenn
pies Of the east when they were overrun by
the northern barbarians. What will be the
end of it all, heaven only knows. The
anarchy of the French revolution may be a
type of our destiny, or the downfall and de-
struction of Babylon. Sodom and Gomorrah
could scarce have deserved worse fate
Religion and piety and patriotism and mo-
rality, have no check upon the unbrdled
course of party spirit Its vortex absorbs
them all, and whirls mems minds into tenn
pest Of reckless passion and fury that over
whelms all barriers. Fraud violence, pro-
family and perjury, rule the hour at the ballot
boxes; men in authority, corrupted by the love
of office, descend from their high places to
engage in the vulgar and selfish scramble;
thieves and robbers fall upon the Sub-treasu-
ries where the public treasure is exposed
to be plundered by an hundred hands where
one could not reach it " before, and the very
qualifications of social and private life are in
vadcd by all manner Of bitterness, strife, pre-
iudice, malice and uncharitabeness. All So
ciety seems to be convulsed by moral thun-
der gust, and the prospect Of returning rccti-
tude and peace, lies only in the hope that the
moral atmosphere, like the heavens after an
electric flash, may be purified by the special
nterposition Of the red arm of the Almighty.
