Wanted-An Organ.

1t is whispered that the white Republi-
cans of South Carolina are in sore distress
for lack Of newspaper organ. They are
dissatisfied that the sole exponents of 'the
party of great moral ideas" in South Caro-
lima should be the dingy sheets sent forth
under the pious auspices of negro preach
ers like Cain and Webster, or the more pre-
tentious but shorter-lived publications.

WEDNESDAY MORNING. JULYs, 1858.
The Democratic Platform.


We print this morning the platform Of
the National Democratic Conventions
platform whose plain, manly and earnest
language upon the great questions Of the
day contrasts happily with the double-faced,
shutting Republican resolutions lately
adopted in Chicago.
1t was feared that the Democracy Of the
nation would be tempted to prefer ,expedi-
ency to far-seeing statesmanship; but.the
delegates of North and South, East and
West, have been worthy Of their ancient
fame, and speak at last in earnest, hearty
tones that carry with them the assurance
of. confidence and victory. Upon the
subject of taxation, upon the subject
of the tariff, upon the subject of the
right of suffrage, their words cannot be
misunderstood, and their declaration that
the monstrous Reconstruction acts are un-.
constitutional and void will cause every
Southern man, every lover Of republican
.liberty,to enlist his whole strength in the
cause Of the National Democracy. Their
cause is our cause, our cause is theirs; but
we may well be grateful to Providence that
the party which represents the honesty, the
intelligence and the wealth of the nation,i
has explicitly and unreservedly. taken
RIGHT AND CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOM as
its motto, and has given us war-ory that
shall send e thrill Of terror to the heart 81
every Radical in heland.

The nle.sa go OF Governor Orr.

The message Of Governor ORR to the
State Legislature, published this morning,
is one Of the most able documents ever sub
mittsd to this people, and with the accom-
psnying reports and statements, exhibits, in
clear, and COMPREHENSIVE manner, the
present condition of the different depart
nents Of the government.
In his recommendations Governor ORR is
frank and plain, and he has evidently been
prompted by aproper desire to render
faithful account of his stewardship, while,
at the same time, he points out to the mex
perienced Legislators who temporarily di-
rect our affairs the shoals upon which they
are most likely to be wrecked. The views
of. Governor 0RR concerning taxation are
reasonable and just, but it will be q shock
to Republican property holders to learn
that the late convention absorbed $110, 900;
that the sitting Legislature will cost about
$40, 600 ) that the city and county jurors,
under the new constitution, win cost $780,
600 against $4,000 under the old plan;
and that the total amount to be met by the
State in the coming year, including the
Legislature, the deficit for this ye ar under
General CANBY's order, and the interest on
the State debt due October, 1868, willbe no
less than 81 ,O57, ,6Ss, without one dollar be.
ing appropriated for free schools.
Governor ORR advises State loan, de-
mics the State liability for the notes Of the
Bank Of the State, urges that the Legisla-
tures take measures for defeating the at
tempt.of persons representing small por-
ton Of the bonds of the Greenyille and CO.
lumbia Railroad to sell the road to the pre-
judice of the State and all other creditors,
and warmly advises immediate action for
securing the e;oompletion Of the Blue Ridge
Railroad, whose Importance he well ex-
plains. .
Governor Orr explains the position Of the
Penitentiary and Lunatic Asylum, and
passes to the University, which he recon-
mends shall be appropriated exclusively to
the whites, while the Citadel, in Charles
ton, may be converted into an educational
institution for the colored people. White
immigration, he says, should be enc outraged
by all available means within the command
of the Legislature and the people. 1t is
recommended that the State House be COM
pleted, and that residence be furnished
the Governor OF his pay be increased The
codification of the criminal law and the
adoption of uniform system Of punish
ment for crime and the restriction Of the
death penalty to murder and arson and
other crimes of the greatest gravity, ore
recommended. The Governor offers more
valuable advice as to the responsibility Of
sheriffs, the sale Of land for taxes and the
selection of juries. He has no doubt as to
the constitutionality of the homestead ex-
emption law, and urges that stay law be
evaded.-
The whole message is luminous, cogcnt
and thoughtful in an eminent degree, and
will be on enduring record of the thor
oughness with which Governor Orr has
coli sidered the wants and necessities Of the
StLte.

For HeaIth's Sake.

Never put pin in the mouth or between the
teeth for single instant, because sudden eff
fort to laugh or speak may convey 1t into the
throat or the lungs, or stomach, causing death
in a few minutes, or requiring the windpipe to
be cut open, to get it out if it has passed into
the stomach, it may, az it has done, cause years
of suffering, seaseless only when it has made its
way out of the body through the walls of the
abdomen other portion of the system.
1t is better to have no button or string about
any garment worn during the night. long,
loose night-gown is the thing to sleep in Many
a man has facilitated an attack of apoplexy by
buttoning his shrt-collar.
If you wake up Of cold night and find your
self very restless, get out of bed, and standing
on piece of carpet or cloth of any kind, spend
five or ten minutes in rubbing the whole body
vigorously and rapidly with the hands having
previously thrown the bed clothing towards the
foot Of the bed, so as to air both bed and body.
Ii you find that you have inadvertently eaten
too much, instead of taking something to settle
the stomach, thus adding to the load under
which it already labors, take continuous walk
with just enough activity to keep up slight
moisture or perspiration on the skin, and do not
stop until quite relieved but end your exercise
ir a warm room so as to cool off very slowly.
Never put on a pair of new boots or shoes on 4
journey; rather take your easiest, oldest pair ;
otherwise you will soon be painfully disabled.
n loose htung boot or shoe, while travelling In
winter will keep the feet warmer without any
stockings at all, than a tight pair, over the
thickest, warmest hose.
Riding against cold, piercing wind immedi
ately after singing or speaking in public, is sui
eide. Many public speakers have been disabled
for life by speaking under hoarseness of voice.
If you happen to get wet in cold weather,
keep moving on foot with rapidity sufficient to
keep off feeling of chliness until you get into
a house, and not waiting to undress, drink in-
stantly and plentifully of hot tea of some sort
then undress, wipe dry quickly, and put on
warm, dry clothing.
Never go to bed with cold feet if you want to
sleep well.
If A person faints, place him instantly fiat on
bed, or floor, earth, on his back and quietly
let him alone at least ten minutes if it is simply
fainting fit, the blood flowing on a level will
more speedily equalize itself throughout the sys-
