THE CORRUPTION OF CHARLESTON.

If the following picture Of our metropolis is
correctly drawn, it presents sad spectacle in
democracy so young as ours. 1t should be the
prayer of every patriot to defer as long as posi-
BILE the age of venality and corruption. We pity
the community where money controls the suffrage
and men of intelligence, ''good and honorable
citizens" can be "forced to participation in bribe
ry" on any plea. Yet hear what the Charleston
News says of the political virtue of our Queen
City:
1t is ever melancholy duty to point to the a..
basement of a people. But the unquestionahle
fact stares US in the face that there are hundreds
if not thousand, purchaseabe votes in Charles.
ton-men who make it business to sell their
votes and there are men who make il n business
to manage the purchase. As this vote generally
holds the balance of power between the general
division of parties, there are immense sums spent
upon them in every election. Corruption and
fraud in suffrage have become crying evil in this
city, and so systemized, and deemed matter Of
course, that even good and honorable citizens,
however loathiHg the necessity and dreadful the
cost, are forced to participation in bribery. or
consent to forever eschcw nny influence in public
affairs general or municipal. 1t is desperate
evil, that an intelligent and high.toned communi-
ty should be forced between two grinding ele-
mcnts, the rich and unscru ulous on one side, and
the low and debnsed on the other!
But this niquity takes even wider range of
evil-it strikes at the foundation of State inhu-
ence and virtue The corrupted element is near
n fourth of the suffrage power Of Charleston, and
it controls her elections and thus her. And who
can doubt that Charleston, in turn, holding large
balance of power capacity, in representation, in
talent and wealth. can and does exercise po-
tential influence over the State? Will the State
consent that its emporium shall sink, and draw
the State with it, into the slough of political and
monetary ahasement? If disfranchisement is nee
csSary to cure the evil, it is time that the work
had commenced. Suffrage, the basis Of our in
stituons and liberties, if rotten at the core must
destroy the Republic.

BETHEL PREsBYTERY.

Messrs Editors The following Preamble and
Resolutions were adopted by Bethel Presbytery Mt
n meeting at Ebenezcr church in 1845; and such
is now the law governing the Presbytery.
"Whereas the question having arisen in the
minds of many, whether the distillntion and re-
tail of ardent spirits, as commonly practiced a
mong US, can or ought to be the subject of discp-
line in the Presbyterian church, and whereas the
discipline of our church. B. 2, chap l, sec g., has
defined an offence to be "any thing in the prin-
ciples or practice Of church member, which is
contrary to the word of God which, If it be not
in its own nature sinful, may tempt others to sln'
or mar their spiritual edifcation :" and whereas
it is the deliberate opinion of this Preshyterv that
the manufacture and retail Of ardent spirits are
very fruitful sources of sin and misery and crime,
effecting the temporal and eternal ru n of multi
udes in our country Resolved
1st.-That it is the settled conviction Of this
Presbytery, that the dstilery, and retail shop do
tempt men to sin, and mar their spiritual edifca-
ton, and, by consequence, constitute an offence
as defined by our book of discipline.
2ndly.-That we earnestly recommend to our
churches, that if any individuals now in commu-
.non with the Presbyterian church are known to
be engaged in the manufacture of ardent spirits,
such individuals have their choice, to relinquish
their business, or retire from the church: and, in
future, should any persons, in connection with any
of the churches under our care, engage in the
manufacture or retail of ardent spirits, they be
made subjects of discipline"
This, Messrs Editors, was noble standpoint
to be taken twelve years ago. The tmid, the
time serving the selfish, and they, who feare man
more than God, doubtless censured the action of
Presbytery. Here was actual prohibition. The
liberty-the SINFUL unchristian. and soul.destroy-
ing liberty of making and retailing the drunkards
drink. was prohibited-crushed out-died. so far
as Bethel Presbytery could accomplish it. The
advocates of liberty-of liberty to people graves
and the pit. were no donbt witnesses Of the immo-
lation. and thought of Poland and Kosciusko.

CuL rarnN Nnv % 1871

This is another dark, rainy, gloomy afternoon,
and the elements seem to be weeping over the
sins of an apostate world, and kindly endeavor-
ing to wash them out with copious tears of con-
triton and regret. We had n few days of biting
cold weather last week, but it has been quite
pleasant for the last two days, and has finally
ended, rs anticipated, in Il dull lazy, drizzling
rain. I presume this is the commencement of
what they would call, in Columbia, ''session
weather." 1t has begun early, but it is to be
hoped that it will not last the whole session.
/ had promised myself the pleasure of hearing
another eloquent and thrilling lecture from F. W.
THOMAS, Esq, this evening, but fear shall be
disappointed. He lectured to fair house on
Thursday evening last. but the weather was then
unfavorabe, and large numbers who wished to
hear him was prevented from attending. And
this evening now promises to be even more disa-
greeable than that was. The subject for this
evening embraces wide field, and the hands of
man of Mr.. THOMAS, ability, would afford ma
terial for q rich and rare entertainment.
The Theatre has been crowded for the last week,
to witness the popular and attractive play Of
"Azae, or the Prodigal Son." This piece brough t
out the full strength of the Company, and pre-
scntcd fine fed for display Of hstrionc talent.
1t was repeated every evening during the week,
and the crowd increased to the last. This even
ing the new domestic drama of Home Again
will be presented in which Mr.. DYoTT, Mrs.
MARcuANr and Miss SHAW, will take the leading
parts The evenings entertainment will be con.
cluded by the attractive spectacle of "Azaer'
which will be presented for the last time.
The season opens with q prospect of much life
and gayety, notwithstanding the money pressure
and the hardness of the times. Our people are
not to be cheated out of their amusements, if the
banks do suspend, and the people are crying for
'breai or BLOOD" beyond the dark waters Of the
Potomac The Campbell Mnstrells are expected
next week, when We will all be prepared to "laugh
and grow fat" although others may cry. We live
for the present, and never run to meet trouble
half way. 1t will come soon enough, dodge and
avoid it as We will
The IEtna Terpsichorean Association will give the
first entertainment of the season on Thursday
next, at Temperance Hall. The devotees of the
poetry of motion will be there in full numbers,
and the !Etncans will prove that they can trip the
light fantastic toe, and play the gay gallan to
their lady-loves, as we'll as fight the destroying
element, and aptize the fire king bwth copious
draughts of Artesan well water.
The Fair of the South Carolina Institute is still
progressing, and the hall continues to be the
exhibition are probably not 80 fine or so numerous

THE NIORNIONS.

We give from the Columbia Carolinian, the
following succinct history of the Mormons and
the Mormon question:
One of the most remarkable moral phenomena
of mode IN times is the rise and spread of Nor
monism. This sect of Mormons or Latter Day
Saints was founded by Joseph Smith, native Of
Vermont. This individual removed to Central
New York, received an imperfect education, and
at the age of Is, he declared that he saw visions.
Seven years afterwards, he pretended to have re-
ceived a revelation from On High, in the form of
records that had been buried in the earth for
centuries. These records were said to be engrav-
ed on plates of curious metal, and sealed t"geth-
er by means of rings. Smith translated this "Book
of Mormon" and set it forth as new gospel

acKNowIEDGE,IENT.

We are indebted to the Eaph"mian Society OF
Rrskin College, for copy of the address delivered
by RICHARD YEADoN, ESQ, at the last annual
Commencement. Slavery, and HsFtderalRslahons,
is discussed in n calm, didactc manner, well cal-
cuated to enlist tphlosophic sequences. The eorator
has collated long array of facts and historical
evidences in support Of his arguments and posi-
tions, and the speech will amply repay careful
reading. 1t is printed Mt the office of the 7slss-
cope, and the Typography is very respectable.
