Wisdom From Experience.

We suppose that all of US VINO are
wise after the event will agree with the
New York World, in thinking that the
Democratic party made great mistake
in splitting in twain in the Charleston
Convention Of 1850, and that that schism
ensured the election of Mr.. Lincoln-
and also that blunder equally great
was committed when the Southern
members retired from Congress-. BY SO
doing they lost Il Democratic majority in
both Houses of Congress, which would
hive prevented war being wagcd upon
the Scuth,- it required al act of Con-
Igrcss to raise and equip armics-and
have tied the hands Of HE President in
appointing oven his own Cabinet, and
made the Republican victory barren
triumph. The South in holding fast to
/, their assumed right to carry slavery into
the territories caused it's abolition in the
States, and all the evils under which we
now suflcr-thc subvcrsion of State
rights, military dcspotism, and negro
suffrage. All Of this followed from pre-
suming to be better judges of Northern
sentiment than the Northern leaders
themselves. -
The past is irrcvocablc, but We may
learn wisdom from its lessons. If the
South is to obtain deliverance, it must
be through the MD of the Northern
Democracy, and in following tho policy
which the party deems essential to sue
cess. AS the World remarks, no one in
New York believes that that State could
be kept Democratic, except by discard
ing such dead issues, rs Reconstruction
and negro suffrage. ...
Says the World: "Bink it and shirk
it us you may, confuse as you may by
cloudy irrcievance, the real point is
whether the Democratic party will at
tempt to abolish negro suffrage in the
Presidential campaign'of 1872. When
the question is thus nakedly put, not
even General Blair, with all his intre-
pidity, cares to face it. He is too correct
Il Judge of public opinion to entertain
any hope that the Democratic party
could win OIL that ISSUE

METHODIST QUARTERLY CONFERENCE.
The Methodist Quarterly Conference
was held here Oh Saturday and Sunday
last, at.which able and instructive dis
courses were preached by the Presiding
Elder, the Rev. II. NJ. Mood. We had
the pleasure of hearing an excellent
sermon from him on Sunday night,
from the words Of the Saviour to Peter,
Lowest thou me-" which presented a
very interesting review of the life and
character of the Apostle, and deduccd
from his example lessons of equal warn
ing and encouragement. Mr.. Mood has
sweet voice and pleasant delivery,
and with his force and carncstncss never
fails to command the interest and attcn-
ton ofhis audience. -.

Governor scott's View.

The Governor on q recent visit to
Charleston has been interviewed by
a correspondent of the Ns,Vs. who
gives full report Of the conrersu-
tion. in which tho Governor declared
that tho debt had been grossly exag-
gerated, and that the increase Of the
bonded debt represents, mainly, un-
fanded liabilities contracted previous
to his administration. That the en-
dorsemcnts by the State are amply
protected by the actual assets of the
railroads; aud that the entire bond
ed debt of South Carolina is less than
eight millions Of dollars, with abont
one million floating debt, which last
will be paid Immediately with the
funds now in tho treasury and with
the incoming trxes.
He said the object of changing the
timc Of collection of taxes, is to in,
sure collection from the poorer classes
and should add two hundred thous-
and to State revenue; also that an
extension Of time would be granted
ifrcquired. ~. g. .
Abiding to the Taxpayers Con
yention called for next month lv the
charleston Chamber Of Commerce
and Beard Of Trade, he said tho Con:
'yention would result in showing the
people that The State finances werc in
j heaathy condition, and the debt, as
he represented. Ho hoped, also, that
it would crcate better feeling. and
rc-establish confidence, by preparing
tho way to give fair share Of offices
il si.s State to men of ability and
experience. he prQneunces in favor
.of.a minority representation as the
rcadiest cuyc for existing grievances
Of the whites. | ~"
