The Charleston Neps concludes able editorial
with the following:
s.It seems that there are three parties into which
this State is divided.
/. Those who, having failed to achieve the pur-
poses of the war, see nothing in the future but
ruin who say to the United States: We cannot see
that we were wrong in the contest which is ended;
we are conquered, but not convinced; use your
power, do with what you will, but do not ask US
TO take part in government TO which we can nev-
er bear true allegiance. The honesty and depth
of this sentiment we respect, but the only practi-
cal course for those who feel it is exile or uncom
planning submission to the will of the conqueror.
g There is another extreme, men without prin-
ciple or sentiment, who would disavow the chavac-
ter of the Stale, who would aattcr the negro and
fawn on the radical, and who hope, by degrading
the State to reduce it so low that they will be fit
exponcnts of its policy and worthy representatives
of its character.
3. But there is third party, men who believe
that they were right in that terrible struggle in
which they suffered and sacrificed, but who having
done NIL that brave men could do, have accepted as
final the decision which they invoked. Men who
look with doubt and apprehension upon the chang
es which the war has brought, but who feel that
it is their duty to lend all their infaence to make
those changes us harmless as good faith and sound
Judgment Gun make them. Men who intend to do
nothing mean or dishonorable, bnt to give new
laws and new institutions an earnest and hopeful
support Men who know that the policy of party
changes with the hour, and that the enemy of to-
day is the friend of tomorrow; that the passions
of great civil war subside surely if they subside
slowly and that the material interests Of o great
nation prescribe limits beyond which even fana:i
cism cannot press too fur. Men who feel that
South Carolina is still their State by the ties of
ccstr;y by the rights of property, by the sacrifice
of bloo- the strength of living affection, who
will not desert her in this her hour of sorcst need.
To this party we belong and we joined it at the
advice of Governor Perry, who, before he had read
Agassiz and Sir Charles Lyell second hand in the
pages of Mr.. Mungers speech, used this Ian
guage to the people Of South Carolina when recon-
menlling, us Provisional Governor, the abolition of
slavery Instead of dwelling on the past and
grieving over it's errors and msfortunes, let rs,
with manly; fortitude, look to the future and ac-
commodate ourselves TO the circumstances which
surround us, aud cannot be changed or avoided. :"

VARIOUS AND RANDOM PARAGRAPHS.

= Tire Southern Recorder calls attention to o
communication in its columns from Z. G. Peters,
who was commissioned to travel over the South,
and make report of its agricultural products, and
says: Thre is no use for Southerners to talk about
better country than our own. 1t is true that our
political situation is just at this time unpleasant,
but in few years, perhaps in two, there will pc
change for the better. We have fine country
as the sun shines on all that is needed, is energy
and o wise agricultural system. Manure and cul-
tivate well, and rich returns will repay the laborer
= The Springfield, Massachusetts, Republican, a
Radical sheet of the Sumner Wilson color, says:
Discussion Of principles in connection with
Southern reconstruction is now of little account.
We arc trying bold experiment, outside of con-
stulional prescriptions and accredited theories of
government, which success alone must justify but
Congressman very naturally seek for some theo-
retical defense of their action md quite natural
y disagree widely as to what thnt theory shall be-
= In recent number of the Foxtown Fusilier
appeared the following kind editorial note:

- Some of the papers are gassing again about
"ndependent Journalism" What's the matter
with them is, that they dent appreciate the differ
ence between free press and q Hcentious one.
Brownlows Wing is pretty fair sample of "inde-
pendent journalism as the term is understood
nowadays.
= AT the lost meeting Of the New Orleans Acad-
cmy of Sciences, it was complained that home man
ufactures failed to get any encouragement in the
South The star candles had to be put in old
Boston boxes to secure market, and leather made
at Magnolia was sent to Boston for sale.

BAD PoLICY.-It is not only bad policy to de-
nounce us Radicals all who support Convention,
says the Athens (Gco.) Watchman, but it is abso-
lutely wrong to do so, because there are numbers
of good citizens in every county who are as far
from sympathizing with Radicalism as any can be,
who will vote for Convention.
To make Convention or no Convention Ell issue
before the people at this time is just what the
Radicals want. They know thut the Convention
will be carried, under existing circumstances, and
if that question is made an issue they will then
claim victory, simply because the Conservatives
are divided on it.
Instead of fighting windmills, let the Conselva-
tivcs strive to control the Convention. This is an
issue worth contending for, and it is OF vital I'M
portance
Let us, then, have no moro wrangling about
Convention or no Convention. Let every Conser-
vati,e vote as he plcases on this question; but
when it comes to elecing delegates to the Conveu-
tion let there be ''no shutting in the ranks. Let
all vote unitedy for sound men, and there is moth
ing to fear
