The Marion Crescent reviews the course
of the Federal Government towards the
people of Virginia, and should the iron
clad oath be imposed upon the members
elect in Virginia, it holds that it would
be shameful breachof faith on the part
of the Federal lministration.

The Charleston Ne,Cs, on the proposed
third party movement in South Carolina,
reviews the arguments of the Orange
burg Neus, and announces its opposition
to the movement. The Charleston Nc,cs
says: f-..'
''And we are asked to turn Republi-
cans and make Republicanism respecta-
BILE! This cannot be. Let the Republi-
cans who know and see the infamy of
their party abandon it, and join with the
Democracy in the struggle for constitu-
tional liberty. We can give them a
hearty welcome. And while the radicals
strive to keep in power their pet thieves
and profigatesS and the stag-rag and
oob-tall, who are useful when vote is
wanted and no questions askcd;' while
the radicals labor to uphold system of
public corruption and extravagant waste;
the Democracy of tho State will battle
for an honest and economical State Go
vernmcnt; for equal taxation; for the
protection of all classes from fraud or in
justice; for the purification of our courts
and for the cleansing of our Legislative
Assembly. On the one side there will
be Scott and Bowen and the Mackeys,
and Parker and Jillson and the negroes
Elliott, Whipper, Wright and the rest.
On the other side will stand every re-

The respectable Republicans must
make their own choice. They must
choose for themselves between honesty
and fraud. purity and corruption. Third
party? We will have none of it, when
it is plain as daylight that the third
party must be formed by the Democrats,
who alone must bear the brunt of the
bitter contest. We are asked to give up
our every political association; to nlienate
our best friends; to array ourselves in
opposition to the Democratic doctrine Of
free trade, equal taxation and an uniform
currency, only that We may, perhaps, Sc
cure the support OF fifty or hundred
white Republicans. who, if they are as
honest us we believe them to be, must
soon come over and join our political
party. The shole plan is preposterous.
AS matters now stand, third party in
South Carolina could not and should not
prosper"
The Winnsboro Meos, which, in its re-
cent issue, filled its columns with "po-
lite" attentions to this paper, now dis
poses Of the Charleston Nevs It turns
out that the PHOENIX did not "wait to
follow" but did 'dare to lesd," at least
in objecting to the premature" and i'm
mature diversion of the Neus. We will
say, however, that there is force in what
the Winnsboro Ne,cs says as to the true
anti-radical movement It properly sug-
gests:
''Thc true anti-radical movement in
this State is to leave this matter of the
ascendancy Of tho white man quietly to
timo, while we make such improvement Is
in our mixed government as we can. At
least, let all sober men make the effort,
and if it fails, when honestly, faithfully
and persistently made, the reaction in
favor Of the white man will surely come,
