.Wounded IN the House OF ATS FrIsnds."
Itappears that the Charleston Nescs
has3 decided that the South Carolina De-
mocracy has disbanded. and that in lieu
'ths Siti 4sHa party" is how, forming in
South Caroiha. The Ne,rs says:
sssTaE, sTHRD PARTY 4 M1sNoMKn.-
Wenotics. that some?of the State papers
are falling into the habit of styling the
new reifize1eS 2 parity 3now> sfgrming
party. hoThe phrase, we presume, is
meantlto oonvey the idea that the new
political organization is wholly distinct
from either of the parties which have
hitherto struggled for the mastery In our
State elections. But the term seems to
US little unfortunate, inasmuch as it
may be understood to imply the exist
enca at this time of three parties in
South Carolina. The fact is, that all
we'll disposed people who have anything
at stake in the future of the State see
the necessity of rubbing out old party
lines altogether within her borders.
Henceforward in State affairs there will
be but two parties among us-the party
oflhonesb and capable governments, low
taxation and general reform; and on the
other hand, ring of corrupt officials,
with all whom they can bribe, bully or
delude into supporting them. and who
will be banded together under the ban
ner of radicalism, robbery and ruin.
There is to be no third party"
When the South Carolina Democracy
shall speak for itself, we shall defer to its
judgment. In the meantime, we take it
that it still lives-lives in the up-coun-
try-the middle country-on the Pee
Dee--on the sea-coast. And we may
add, that no journal in the State, no
scheming politicians, no would-be wire
pullers can dispose of it. The people who
breathed into it the breath of life and
made it a living soul-they give it vitali-
ty. We repeat what we have before said:
''Let wise, moderate and progressive
Democracy be put before the country"

The MORGAN AFFAIR OF Forty YEARS
Aao.-Phere is at least one gentleman in
this city who knows every incident con-
neoted with the abduction and subse-

improbable that the entire story will
be laid before the public at some future
