L The New York World isInos, by
any means, a fit organ of the Demo
tcracy of r, the United States. Its
attempts to whittle away she plat
form recently laid down at New York,
show it to be at heart an enemy of
the people who made it. We prefer
Brick Pomeroy's rough, honesty, or
BENEFITS downright and out-spoken
dishonesty. to the Worlds double
dealing and fnesse. If the tone of
the World is te be taken as an indi-
cation of the spirit of the Northern
Democracy, then it may be set down
as certain that Grant will be elected.
Its miserable apologies for its own
lparty's acts, and its endeavors to tor
iture plain language into false mean
'ings, are unworthy of any paper
processing to be Democratic. The
Richmond Dispatch declares that a
specimen of the Worlds candor may
be found in the fact that it makes
the resolution of the National Con-
vention in favor of taxing Govern
ment bonds apply to bonds hereafter
to be issued! Such tricks are little
short of knavery. The secret of this
apparent duplicity may be thus ex-
planned: General Grant and the head
man of the World are in partn ership

can vouch for. ga wheel within a

Hampton Court, on the Thames,
fifteen miles Southwest from Lon
don, is refuge for reduced members
of the English gentry, who are as
signed apartments there through the
charity of the Queen. The inmates
are very poor and very proud, and,
heretofore. have taken advantage of
the privilege of living in a quasi
royal palace not to pay their debts,
unless it suits their convenience.
But these exemptions are now abo-
lished. for the English Court of Ex-
chequer has decided, recently, that
Hampton Court is not now royal
residence, and that q sheriff has a
right to execute writ therein.

The THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT Nor
Observation-Disclosures OF SENATOR
DooLTTTLE. The effort to organize a
third party by the conservative Re-
publicans. dissatisfied with the nomi-
nees of the New York Convention, is
not destined to meet with encourage
ment from leading gentlemen of that
class who have ably sustained Presi-
dent Johnson in his strife against
radicalism. In substantiation of this
assumption, letter will appear from
Senator Doolittle, in response to o.
81. Ostrander and forty eight conser-
vative Republicans, of Danville, Pa.
who express a ''sense of disappoint-
ment and regret that no better names
had been offered by the Democratic
party, to lead the conservative and
patriotic masses of the people to VIC
tory, and the radical Republican
party to merited defeat;" and con-
fidence that victory would have been
certain had Senator Doolittle's name
been placed at the head of the ticket.
The Senator's reply is bold ard en-
phatic against the organization of o
third party, which he does not re-
gard rs wise, or calculated to work
any practical good to the cause. He
states, in detail, charges of wrong
and outrage committed by the radi-
cal party, refers to the impeachment
of the President, and the effort, even
by threats of assassination, to force
the Senate to convict him, in order
to place in the executive chair one
who would have used all its power
against the Constitutions; against
plighted faith; against race and kim
dred, and against civilization. He does
not say that the nominations are the
best that could have been made for
the purpose of restoring the Union
and the Constitution and the rights
of the States; but he affirms that
these ends can be attained, if the
various elements in hostility to .radi-
calism can be carried to the support
of Mr.. Seymour He assumes that
to accomplish this is a paramount
duty, and commits himself to it with
his whole heart and energy, conclud-
ing in these words: "Let us unite for
victory; let us have peace-a peace
which comes not from o violated
Constitution and the despotism of
the sword, but the peace which comes
from restored Union and the supre-
macy of constitutional law, by which
alone liberty is secured" 4#

LECTURE OF COLONEL THoMAs.-
Col. J. P. Thomas, of the city of
Columbia, delivered q lecture, last
Tuesday evening, before the Literary
Club of Greenville, to large assem-
bly, of accomplished gentlemen and
ladies, on '"The Past and Future of
South Carolina. It was replete in
thought, rich in lore, pearl upon
pearl, gem linked in gem, rare and
highly attractive. It foreshadowed a
glorious future of honor and renown
to the speaker. All who heard it,
speak of it as decided success.
During its delivery, fancy's eve
and memory arrayed the past. Caro-
lima, in her better days, stood before
the minds eye. Rock, river, vo.
lumed cataract, forest, mountain
tufted hills, plains beneath, living
valleys, fields of rustling corn and
cotton, vegetated with leaf, bloom
and boll-with focks and herds, cot
tage and stately mansion-a happy,
Industrious, thriving populations
plenteous board, wealth and gran
deur presented themselves in one
grand panoramic scene; her noble
dead-Gregg, Bee, johnson, Mar
shall, Pettigrew, Ramsay, Keitt, Ed
wards, and their brave comrades in
arms; Calhoun, McDufie, Cheves,
Lowndes, Hayne, Butler, and hosts
of their grand compeers, men of
might, whom the nations honored-
swaying listening Senates, with the
power of genius and the blaze of
eloquence, stood life-like in the pic
ture. Carolina again loomed up as
in ancient days, commonwealth
of godlike men. But, Carolina,
how changed art thou now! thy sun
has set-thy glorious day is o'er-the
night of ignorance shrouds thee with
its dark, murky pail, and thy sub
lime record is underneath the { ttyrunt's
heel. The Legislative halls, Suprepha
Court room, temple and stately man
sions, commingle in common dust
with thy heroic dead. Thy art, glory
and freedom have vanished. Dingy
denizens-reared in dirt, unwashed,
and of low degree-a famished brood
seized upon thy vitals as soon as the
cannon's smoke was cleared away and
wars clarion was hushed. And now
they riot in thy deserted halls and
upon thy ruined splendor. Our
heart sinks chilled within us when
we contemplate this land-once the
home of god-like men, whose heroic
dust is now insulted by Cloths and
Vandal swarms. t'tt
A brighter period may dawn upon
us, after awhile, but many q year will
have flown away before our beloved
State will attain to her former pros
perity and renown. Nevertheless, it
becomes our people to be up and
doing, with busy hands and brave
hearts, and with an humble trust in
the God of nations, we will eventual
ly be delivered from penury and
bondage. g GreehoiHe Enterprise.
