In Federal politics, South CaroI;n, /.
always belonged to the school of State RigI.
Democracy-and as she remains IN the f.
ion, 1t is to be presumed she will eontinue Il
act with that party, if she acts with anv M,
purely sectional. Whether she viii 80 act
we suppose will depend on further ipouirT
as to whether or not her action will tend b
maintain her ancient principles, and advance
her present policy. We publish TO-DAY an
extract from speech of Gen. Pierce, dely.
cred in the Senate of the United States N
1888, sustaining certain resolutions intro
duced by Mr.. Calhoun, to prohibit the il.
PRODUCTION of abolition petitions, &c. Ca
Pierce then came up to the mark as boldl
and squarely as it was possible for man L
do; and the information which reaches u
now from all quarters, establishes that be i
still sound, and of the strictest sect of h
State Rights Democracy. 1t appears, tber
that in supporting him, South Carolina wi
but maintain her own principles.
But there is also a question of policy il
volved. In the present juncture of FEEDER
affairs it is manifestly the policy of th
State, and of the whole South, to transf
and confne the discussion of the slavel
question in connection with the powers
the governments to the North. Unite on
selves and divide them, the victory is ou
and we control the government. If there
any party to be formed on this question
preserve the Union, let it be there and no
here. We have had unioL parties enoug
in the South, and the only reason why the
have not been formed at the North, is b
cause the South has ever been in too shamt
full hurry to preserve the Union, at the e.
pense of right and character. We believe
probable iRthe highest degree that the 'pla
form" of the Democratic Convention vi
carry this discussion to the North.
Upon the issues submitted, the freesc
and abolition parties will war fercely wi
the State lights Democracy of the Mort
and this last cannot succeed in the count
without the aid of the Southern democracy
with it they can. If the Southern demo
racy therefore will unite, they become 4
only essential, but available to secure t
umph.- This ability 30 give OF withhold q
cess, will cause them to be respected a
cOurted, and viii put them in position
give law to the entire party and to cont
once more-the federal government.
We think, therefore, that this State shou
join with all the other Southern States
their support Of the Democratic nominate
for President and Vice President.
