Enough for the present. Goodbye.
The Palmetto State Banner.

The States Rights Republican of the oath |
ult contains long article over the signature
Of Mr. Morgan, in which that gentleman
shows some degree of temper, arising from
the fact that We stated in The. Ledger " that
MIR. Morgan finding the Secession party in
the minority, sold the Political interests in
his paper to the Cooperation party"
We wish to be particularly understood,
that SO far from wishing TO injure Mr. Nor
gan, we have always pronounced the Banner
to be one of the best papers in the State,and
have recommended it to our friends, and in
giving these brief of our State papers,
it has not been our design or intention to in
Jure the character of any man. We are as
much friend to Mr.. Morgan, as to Mr.. Bow
man or Mr.. Johnson. We are acquainted
with neither.
MIR. Morgan says "that he will be COM
PEELED to conclude, that there is wilful dis
position on the part of the editor to misrcp-
resent his true position unless there is with
drawal of the Objectionable language. As
an get of sheer justice il is called for There
was no intention on his part, (our) as he as
serts, (we) to affect the interest of Mr.. Nor
gan"
Mr.. N. goes on to say, "This, of itself,
had it not been coupled with the language
which follows, extracted from the editors
answer, would have been perfectly satisfac-
tory"
This extract from our paper, then, which
follows, appears to be the cause of so much
discord
awe thought and as Mr.. NJ. acknowledge
es,that the expenccs to which he (Mr M.)was
subjected, made it incumbent upon him to
give his paper rs extensive \ circulation as
possible, in order to tighten the burden upon
him, and therefore sold the political interest
OF his paper to the party which would pay
the highest price" Mr. Morgan says Now
Mr., Morgan made no such acknowledgement.
1Ogire his paper an ertensire circulation
did not enter into his calculations. Indeed
the very reverse of this might be expected in
snch n change. The whole object was to
ting"
We can assure Mr.. Morgan we were hon.
est for we really thought that his object
was to give his paper an extensive u circula-
tion. as possible. Mr.. Morgan says that was
not the case, so We willingly withdraw that.
; ltis-our duty to do it, for we wish to misre-
sent no man, but Mr.. Morgan says further
as follows; g..
"The truth is, Mr.. Bailey is rs ignorant
of the facts connected with this tr,nsaction,
as he is ignorant,-apparently, of the injury
| which he has inflicted on the character and
\ standing of n citizen of this commonwealth
wherein he asserts, TO all intents and purpo-
ses that he has set aside his principles u
advance his pecuniary intsrsst"
M? Morgan accuses us of doing him in.
Ju4tssrs -tmss..ps;li a. we declare that he ha.
seS,astde his principles 10 advance his pecu
mary Interest" yet ho says il a, y,,,srs,.
the obstruction Of his business in printing"
The whole amount of the matter is, the
high, ,dudgeon into which Mr.. Morgan ha.
permitted his feelings TO carry him is perfect
: lyyidiculous.. Had We accused him of apos.
t>>t-i would. have been different matter
Hbutwhcn the politics ofthe paper We're chang.

y bad W. accused him of apostacy, he might
\ have had something TO get into fret about,
ket we think this m1nileSt ltion of ni:.h. "

Before us is n South Carolina plpcr Of
April 2s,, The editor is writing from Colum-
bin, hear what he,says: Rev Mr.. White ar
rised here this evening, and will be in Con.

the hberofify of the Secessionists will reward
the 1PosTAcy of the Republican"
TIE two prrties IN the Site have been

RE State Secession, the other waiting for
the Cooperation of some or III of the other
Southern States. When we speak of the
Secession party, ofcourse We allude to that
Party in favor Of sepIr ,te State action. Mr..
Bowman distinctly, says, the undersigned"
(alluding t" himself Z" is nevertheless oppo-
sed to- its exercise secession by single
State, unless the occasiOn be one of extr or
