We have received your letter Of the DIST
October You, inhabitants of South Carolina
give us notice that you have withdrawn from
the General Confectionery, and, as a reason for
1t, you point to the resolutions of the last Gen
ersl Convention.
To this We could not have much to object.
1t could not have been demanded of you TO
remain within the General Confederacy, if your
existence as an Association would have become
impossible by remaining in the same.
But as you have, by means of the Press, given
the reason for your Withdrawing, and, moreover,
have invited US, by means Of your letter, to join
you in your act you have by that given us a
right TO express also our opinions concerning
this subject.
The resolution Of the General Coniederacy:
1.-THE Turner'S opposed TO Slavery; above
all, 10 the extension Of the same into Free Ter
ritories. They consider it as inconsistent with
a Republic, and directly annihilating the prin-
ciples of Liberty"
This resolution is, in our opinion, a very just
one. The Turner's had, by the urging of some
newspapers, especially the New York Stats
Zeitunq, been compelled to speak plain word.
Ne understand tnlS f6SOlutiOn 10 nave the sllli-
pie meaning, that Turner who would desire to
own or really keep slaves could not be consider
ed any longer member of the Association, be-
cause this our Confederacy does not display the
word "socialistic for mere nonsense.
Turner, living or DESTROYS to live by the labor of
others, and leading himself an idle life, cannot
be thought of. 1t is not meant that the Turner's
should attempt to abolish Slavery where 1t
exists because that would be impossible. 1t
depends not on our power. But the Turner's
are altogether free laborers, and in that must

lists and Niggers.
The Democratic party has signalized itself
by the cultivation of the two latter preiudices ;
while the Wing party has had the benefit of
the first. On the recent dissolution of the
Wing party, the Republicans ran off with its
Anti-Slavery tendencies, and the Know Moth
ings with its Anti Catholic and Nativist lean
ings.
In the present condition of the popular
mind, you are reduced to the necessity of pit
ting popular prejudice against popular preiu-
dice-that is to say if you bid for success.
Now, the Republican party was founded on the
principle of ignoring all three preiudices, which
was very liberal and creditable in it, but very
lmpoltic. 1t was great deal too good party
" for this ere world, as our nurses would saw.
The idea of winning the Presidency with it was
most arrant chimera-that is all!
You must be content, sir, to wait and work
in patience. That grandiose abstraction. so
dear to the mind of an American journalist

liberal idea, as well as those patented horrors

etface popular prejudice in one campaign.
You need time to ripen the popular mind. In
this respect, you can learn a lesson of patience
from us Old World Reformers, who receive a
cause from our fathers, and hand it down un.
achieved to our sons and grandsons.
Ten years is not long to wait. See what
strides the popular mind has made since 1885,
and the times when that grand old statesman,
John Quincy Adams, was arraigned in Con-
gress. Your intellectual and moral progress
is rapid; so knock again in ten years time, but
not in 1856. In the mean time, you will have
local triumphs. New England, Ohio, Wiscon-

The duty of the Republicans is, not to " cal

to take possession of the Federal Government

GERMAN TURNER'S STANDING THEIR
GROUND.

A correspondent of the Tribune translates
the following racy correspondence between the
German Turner's of Wheeling, and the apOstate
branch in South Carolina:
LETTER OF THE CHARLESTON TURNER'S
The Turn Verein, Charleston, TO the Turn
Terein, Wheeling, Virginia:
Good luck
la consequence of a resolution offered and
accepted in our meeting, have to communicate
unto you that We have on the 9th instant, in a
general meeting, especially called for that pur
pose, resolved TO withdraw from the confedera
cy of the North American "Turners." This
has already taken place.
As You will easily perceive, our reasons for
acting IN this way were the resolutions offered
and adopted at the last General Convention, in
regard to the Slavery question. What course
You are 10 adopt. or will have adopted, we do
not know but it appears to US that the mem
bers Of the confederacy who live in the South
ern States will have very difficult time here
after, if they do not follow our course.
In relation 10 the above, ne request you to
send~1s an answer as to what you have resolved
upon, and as soon as possible. At the same
time, we add that letters of the same tenor as
the present one have been sent by us to every
one Of the Associations in the Southern States,
IN order 10 ascertain whether there might be
any disposition among the same to effect a
union of the Southern Associations.
In the name Of the Charleston Turn-V erein.
