The Opposition from the Quarter E1-
pected.
from the Columbia phanix.l


The Mercury has at last taken the position
that may have been ticipated-opposition to
the conservative plan Of action inaugurAted IN
the Democratic Convention o. April lsst. In
it's extreme views and mistaken statesmanshlp,
the Mercury has long since ceased to represent
the State, or rather, any considerable portion
Of it. The thing may as well be understood at
once. The people, hitherto unmixed with the
politics of the State, have resolved to manage
for themselves, and the Phoenix, in its utter
ance, feels that it but speaks the sentiments OF
the Conservative masues, still devoted to the
rights and honor Of the State, but chastened
by war and disposed to deal practically with
the facts that are accomplished and the ele-
ments that surround them.
The Mercury is doubtless true to its own con-
victions, and we impugn not the disinterested.
ness Of its motives; but, as we conceive it, thai
journal is fatally wrong in principle and fatally
wrong in policy. It processes to demand q
white mans government, and yet its inaction
and it's policy lead inevitably to q black mans
governments. It processes to demand this and
that, but suggests aothing practicable. To
complain-to criticise, to find fault-this seems
it's political mission.
Itraised, the other day, question OF sense
and decency" with the State Central Executive
COMMITTED. We may be anowedto suggest,
that the Mercury does not, at least, die "de-
Gently" When Caesar fell at the base Of POM
pey's statue, he covered his face with his man
tie, and died ''decently." We commend the
example to the Mercury.

THE PRESBYTERIAN REuSloN.-lhe main
article in the proposed plan OF reunion of the
Presbyterian Church ID that which establishes
the basis of doctrine upon which the two
bodies are expected to unite.
It proposes to acknowledge the Holy Scrip
lures al the inspired Word Of God, and Pres
byterian Confession Of Faith as containing t he
doctrines taught in the Scriptures but it
allows fulf freedom as TO the methods of illus
trating and explaining the doctrines of the
Confess on, which do not impair the Calvins-
tic system. In other words, religious freedom
is to be allowed to the churches in the inter-
pretatiol of tresbyter,an doctrine, 80 that
enforce the peculiar views formerly held forth
in their respective churches without offence.
ALI that follows is platter OF arrangement and
reconciliation Of conflicting interests and rules
az to church government property, &c. These
important matters are now before thC General
Assemblies of the Old School and New School
Presbyterians. 10 make the treaty binding it
is necessary that each General Assembly OF the
present year shall ratify it. Afterward t is to
the United States, Of both churches. TO be-
come valid and binding it must be ratlned by
three-fourths Of those bodies within year.
When the General Assemblies meet IN lso9,
the votes or responses are to be counted. Il
II is found that the plan OF union is sustained
BY the regular vote, inose General Assemblies
after transact.ng their business, shall be dis
