No state SectionaIism.

Although we publish, this morning, the
communication of "Fair Play" we do not
approve Of its tone or sentiment Our
State Government has been popularized,
and we think it highly injudicious in en-
deavoring to advance the interests Of any
candidate, to indicate that there are sec
tional rights or sectional prejudices within
the limits of the State, when a representa-
tive OF the interests ct the whole State is
to be chosen. We moreover think that it
is unbecoming and beneath the dignity Of
the Office itself, to urge such sectional
arguments in the matter Of choosing q
United States Senator, and our opinion
applies to either section OF the State from
which these arguments may come. The
General Assembly, composed Of Reprcf on
tatives and Senators from all parts OF the
State, is the constitutional, and, ofcourse,
the best arbitcr Of the claims of aspirants
to this high, honorable and responsible
position. This is our opinion, not designed
TO affect the success Of any candidate, but
as based upon the spirit and dictates OF the
new Constitution just adopted by the
people OF South Carolina, through their
delegates in Convention assembled.

SESAToRs.-I am glad to hear James B.
Campbelrs name mentioned as one of the
Senators; for Of all men in the State he
would probably be the most acceptable 70
the President and authorities here, and
would, from his integrity and influence, be
able to do more for the State than any
other man from the South. The confidence
reposed in his opinions and views by those
in power, is shown by the President send
ing for him on several occasions during his
visit to this city in the summer, and talking
freely in regard to affairs not only Of Your
State, but Of the whole South. Mr. Camp
bell was looked upon by all as representa-
tive man; one that if in the Senate would
not only benefit the State he represented,
but would exert commanding influence in
national affairs.
With such men as j. B. Campbell and
Gov: Perry as Senator's, South Carolina
would soon command her old position
among the States, and again point with
pride to her statesmen.

Reorganization OF the Militia.

In Saturdays proceedings of the House
of Representatives, we call attention to the
resolution of Mr.. Gilbert, Of Sumter. AS
we have assurances from Governor Perry.
that the United States troops would be
withdrawn as soon as the State is restored
to her civil authority, it becomes the abso-
lutte duty Of the Legislature to provide for
an effective organization of her citizen
soldiery.
We hope the Committees on the Military,
to which Mr.. Gilbert's resolution was re-
TERED, will act promptly on the subject.

State Faith.

We make the following extract from the
Annual Report of the Comptroller-Gcneral
of the State of Georgia. After referring to
the high character and credit of that State
both at home and abroad, produced and
maintained by her former good faith to all
her obligations, and promptness in meeting
her demands, the Comptroller goes on to
say:
After the State shall have been restored
to civil law and order again, going along
as OF cd as member of the Union, with
all of it's machinery at work. and its re-
sources being developed and used, it is to
be hoped that she will soon rise and rapidly
progress again as in the past, and in the
course of time be even more prosperous
than before. Under these circumstances,
it is to be hoped that the Legislature, in
its consideration of this matter, will act
prudently and wisely, ard will not only not
tarnish, but will raise still higher &c good
faith and the good name. i.;;:!r ii credit
OF our noble old Stat !. TX; p:.S t, the
pride and boast of her So. a:.l Ian" hters,
and commanding the a(i,!,.. 4, C.. -.,of Il who
looked at her, or who cv". ,,:Jr:i'.,i into
her past history.
Junius says:
Private credit is wealth. Public Honor
is Security. The feather that .dcr::s the
Royal Bird supports him in his fight.
Strip him Of his Plumage, and you fix him
to the earth!''
Then, in this darkest hour for Georgia as
to her agricultural industrial labor, it is to
be hoped that no serpent" in the shape
of 'Repudiation' will be allowed to ''creep
m' and ''beguile" any considerable portion
of our good old State, and ''strip her of her
plumage," and elk her to the earth!'' But,
remembering that sshonesty is the best
policy let her people, one and all, spurn
the syren song of the s'Repudiator," ," and
sustain, as they have heretofore done, the
integrity and honor OF the State, and the
day will not be distant when they will see
old State will rapidly stride on to pros
perlty and greatness again"
This is the language Of honesty and
honor, and it is to be hoped yet, that the
ultimate action of every Southern State
after its restoration to the Union, and it's
return to the full exercise of State au-
tho1ity, will be based upon the principles
here enunciated. A estate" is the union
Of it's whole people in body polite, and if
She obligations Of an individual be held
sacred, and their reputation or evasion
regarded as dishonest or dishonorable, the
mere aggregating of individuals does not
weaken, much less dispense with, the i'm
perative demands Of justice and honor, or
the duty of a people under them. In what
ever else the people Of South Carolina may
10 considered to have erred, they have ever
held the public faith of the State as sacred
rs virgin purity, and we are confident will
always do so.

Tho Senatorial Eleetfon-Upper and
Lower Country.

By sort ofcomity which had grown up
under the old order of things, it was the
ha5;. tc al!c-' The Dw eo;,l.t1 by wiio..
Charleston-an c21asaonal voice in the
distribution Of the high Offices and appoint
ments Of the State. Of course there was
no binding rule, beyond that which spirit
of generous courtesy created, but the prac-
tice in the main worked well, and for the
general good. In the new order Of things,
under Mr.. Orr's experiment of ''populariz-
ing the State Government" the Parishes
have been swept away. and Charleston has,
by a special exception to the basis of rep
rcsentation, been excluded from her mutual
share of influence. This will finally trans
Ter to the upper country all State power.
Charleston and the Parishes have suffered
ruinousiy by the ravages of the war, and
there is in them moro need now than ever
OF Il representation in Congress-. One
would suppose that these facts would invite
a generous response to any reasonable
appeal to those who arc hereafter to have
undisputed power.
The appeal they now make is for Senator
for the short term of two years. They
have put in nomination single candidate,
in whose ability to serve them and the
State at this iuncture they have confidence
They are SO nearly unanimous in his sup
port that their wishes cannot be doubted.
Was it unreasonable to expect final boon
so small would be, at this time, freely and
generously yielded to them? We hope
not, and yet it is clear that there is doubt
Of it, when we see from the upper and
middle country no less than eight candi-
dates urging their claims, struggling and
combining against this humble appeal of
the low country, for the lowest place. 1t
was said, in the late Convention, by an
eloquent gentleman from District which
furnishes two Of these candidates, that
''the Parishes, in pursuit of political power
and Office, were guided by the skill of the
fox, combined with the ferocity Of the
tiger" We hope, after this exhibition,
that charge will not be repeated. What
ever sense of justice and generosity may
influence those who have 'popularized"
the Government, we'hope they will bear in
mind that if their first experiment has put
"a barren sceptre in their grippe,
Thence to be wrenched with unlineal hand
No son of theirs succeeding"
It is no fault of Charleston or the much
abused Parishes. Let US be admonished
that there is surely q Providence in the
affairs of men, and that sooner or later
but surely-that Providence bestcws its
blessings on those who practice justice,
generosity and FAIR PLAY

blacks some are dying, and many
