The recent public correspondence
between Judge Mackey and Major
Woodward suggests. somo thoughts
which We to-day submit to our read
ors. We are free, to say that we do
not endorse Major Woodward's main
disposition, that is, that South Caro-.
lipians should not participate in the
Philadelphia Centennial because
South Carolina's commissioner, Gen.
G,urney, is cerpet-bagger, and in no
way identified with the true interests
Of tho State. Gen Quincy may be
q corrupt politician. He undoubted-
ly was closely associated with the
odious and and Infamous govornmen
given to this State by reoonstruction,
and countenanced, if not aided, the
political pluuderers who have we'll
nigh ruinod .us. Admitting all this.
and much more too, we are still of
tho opinion that the patriotic citizens
of this commonwealth should be pres
ent in full force at Philadelphia next
year to assist in properly celebrating
the birth-day of American iudepend-
ence, and constitutional government
{ 1t i'd our right co .bo there, aud wc
owe it to our revolutionary ancestry
to 6 q there. What if Gurney is there
as the official representative of the
State. Will he represent anything
othor than the misrule Of the Moses
administration, whose appointcc he
is win he be recognized us any
thing other than tho exponent of a
State governm ent that has passed iuto
history as tho most corrupt and de-
bauched that has ever disgracod a
FREQ country. Of course he will
claim. to represent tho native-born
citizens of the State unless they are
thore to represent themselves. Are
thedcscendauts of Rutlcdge, arion,
Pinckuey, Sumpter, Haync, and u
host of others, satisfied to have their
illustrious progenitors unrepresented
at tho commemoration of day the
most noted in the struggle for Ameri.
can deliveranco from British thraldom.
If they arc, we are proud to say that
we are not. '..r sse .a ..
We feel that we nro disohargsgn n
public duty in urging participation
in tho Philadelphia Cenentnial on
the part of the natives of the State,
and we take it upon ourselves to sug.
gcst that tho State Agricultural AS
ISOLATION, ut its meeting next fall,
take suoh action as will secure our
proper representation. The Charles
ton Chamber Of Commerce, highly
respectable and influential body,
might also with roat.propriety, lend
it's assistance, if not take the initia.
tory steps. At ony rate let US not,
by our own act, exclude ourselves
from our rightful privileges. Let us
show to the world, that, though op-
pressed and misgovorned, we still
cherish and vencrate the doeds of our
forefathers, and are not willing that
strangers should alone do honor to
their memory. @ ''g' E#-.s. .
