American Sympathy in Foreign Wars.

Although the people of the United States
are devoted to moncy-gctting, there Is no pco-
pic whose enthusiasm is more easily stirred Or
who take a more spontaneous interest IN
cause whose success can bring them no advan-
tarc. Our citizens have always been more
prone to hcadlong, uncalculating sympathy than
to guarded, selfish prudence. The French
Revolution broke out in the. same year that
our Federal government was organized !;
and for the ensuing ten years our domestic
politics were colored by the conflicting views
of our citizens on that mighty convulsion.
The Democratic party then in process of for
nation under Jefferson were Jealous partsans
of the French Revolution, Hamilton and the
Federalists taking the other side. Its heated
French partisanship was of no real advantage
to The Democratic party, its ultimate triumph
depending mainly ON its opposition to the Alien
and Scdition laws-a purely domestic question.
BEFORE Jefferson became President, Napoleon
had risen to supreme power on the ruins Of the
French republic, and in Jeffcrsons inaugural
address he took the same position that had al
ways been held by Washington-"peace, conf
mcrce. and honest friendship with all nations
-entangling alliances with none" The Dem
ocratic party never afterwards professed any
strong sympathy with the cause of France in
the wars which she continued to wage with her
adversaries. The original sympathy was pre-
mature and misapplied, and brought no advan-
tage to the political party which espoused the
French Revolution.
The next foreign war which engaged the
sympathy of our people was the contest OF the
Spanish South American colonies for their IN
dependence There were no party differences
on question that, our whole people giving their

WILL THE WAR CAUSE CorToN TO DECLINE?
The St. Louis Democrat takes the following
view of this interesting question:
This is question which is now agitating
thousands. We claim no infallibility OF
prophecy, yet we feel strongly impressed with
the conviction that the question should be an
swered in the affirmative. Of course, no ac-
count is to be taken OF the first perturbations
in markets, which become apparent upon the
outbreak of gigantic war. These are more or
less the result of panicky feelings often pur-.
posely intensified by market manipulators, and
give no indication of what the permanent state
of the market may be. Now, as far as regards
the status of cotton during the war, we reason
that the demand for fabrics will be fully rs
great throughout the civilized world as II the
world enjoyed peace. Our own experience has
shown that war times are periods OF great waste,
and presume the same improvidence will attend
the operations of the contending armies OF Eu-
rope. We expect, therefore, an augmented de-
mand and an increase in the price OF cotton
rather than a closing of factories and serious
decline, as many seem to fear. Ihls country
will be nerstral, and will run every loon iathe,
forge and furnace she possesses to their fullest
capacitv. if the war is of even six months du-
ration, and the prospects are that it will be OF
much greater length Should all of Germany,
Russia Austria, Italy, Denmark and France, be
drawn into the war; millions of men would be
engaged in destroying fabrics as we'll as lives,
very readily. These fabrics must be replaced
promptly. Soldering is destructive to clothes,
rs all soldiers know, and the raimcnt thus worn
out must be manufactured somewhere. Eng
land will do Il large part Of this manufacturing,
and will demand increased quantities OF cotton
to do it with We shall also do large share
of it, and our home consumption Will be much
larger than it has been since the war. In snort
we cannot see any reason 1or suppoSlhg ina!
cotton will decline while other products Will
advance.

ResoMed That the Republicans of South

of amity and peace towards their opponents;
and of justice to themselves, make the follow
ing declaration of principle and policy:
l. That, as citizens Of the nation represent:
ing the Republican sentiment of proud and
honored Commonwealth, we regard with sim
cere satisfaction the fidelity evinced by Presi@
pledge our cordial support to the measures in
augurated by him to insure Cancellation, econ
omy and justice at home, and command con-
sideration and respect abroad. -.
2. That we cordially endorse the administers;
tion of Governor Scott, as wise, economical
and honest, and that it deserves as it has
received, the hearty approval of the loyal
people of South Carolina.
8. That we insist on q continuance of strict
and close economy in all departments of our
Government, in order to maintain the happy
financial condition which our State has at:
tained under Republican rule.
4. That We hail with gratitude the adoption
of the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, as the crowning act of
American civil emancipation, and that, in the
tXeEClSG VI luG SdCTCu VI tuS clcCtlfS 1Idu-
chise which it proclaims and perpetuates, we
will elevate to public Office only capable and
honest Republicans, irrespective of race, color
or previous condition.
S. That we hereby pledge the Republican
party of South Carolina to firm, fearless and
unfaltering support of the civil rights bill,
and shall demand the strict enforcement Of the
principles that it enunciates as just and practiz
cal assertions of the civil equality of all Amer
ican citizens.
6. That we appeal to the National Congress
to open to settlement and pre-emption the 49,
100000 of acres of public lands in the Southern
States, and to provide by suitable law for the
purchase, through the general land Office OF
otherwise, of lands in this State, to be sold to
the landless, under the provisions Of the home
stead law of the United States.
7. Congratulating ourselves upon the return
of peace, the representation Of our beloved
State in the national councils, and the compar-
ative quiet that prevails in our midst relying
upon divine Providence for wisdom in council
and efficiency in our actions, malice towards
none and charity to all, we pledge our earnest
and best efforts to the success of the Republi-
can party in South Carolina, and enter upon
the campaign of 1870, confident of victory,
with the noble words, Equality before the law,
free speech, a free press, a free ballot and free
schools" emblazoncd upon our banners.
