J Commerce in which that paper,
while it gives lis credit for shrcwd-
ness, accuses us Of being grand
motkcily" and mistaken i'll our opin-
ion Of lis temper, and the spirit which
inspires its course. We greeted our
contemporary with such q cordial
welcome that it is with considerable
reluctance that we nrc constrained to
differ from some of lis conclusions.
If to advocate MI honest and
economical government for all South
Carolina, be "grandmothcrly," VIC tell
the Journal Of Commerce that we arc
content to occupy that position, and
TO continue to do battle on that line;
for it is our opinion, forced upon us
by the. united expressions of the
people, that the prime and para
mount object Of all parties now is to
secure 10 South Carolina Just, in
tcllcgcilt, and honest administration Of
public affairs OfcourSc they want
men for this work whose garments are
not stunned with the corruptions of
the past, and whose antcccdcnts will
be sufficient guarantee to the people
that if elected they will rule fairly
and rightcously ma help to raise
this taX-'iddcn State from bankruptcy
and. ruin and place her once more OH
the road to prosperity. The "mild-
manncrdncss" Of the Joumal Of Com
mc'cc will not be c0ectual in bring
ing about this consummation. It's
editor needs first cold bath to show
him the excited state of his pulse, and
salts, and sarsaparilla, and sassafrus
tea to cool and tone down the
unnatural warmth Of his Bourb on
blood. After going through n pre-
scription Of this kind for month or
so, he might be brought down to n
level with our common and practical
humanity, where, upon reflection, he
would, acknowledge that his sweet
temperdness was nothing more nor
less than bold, rash, incxp1icable
hot-hcadedness. lie would then be
Of use.
The Journal Of Commerce is new
venture and We should like to see it
succeed. If, however, its success is
to initiate in any way'against the
interests Of the people, we cannot
hope fUrit that career which we would
otherwise be glad to see it enjoy.
Charleston is the metropolis Of cid
South: Carolina, and one of the most
important commercial cities oft
Southland she should have journal
of principle and character to speak
Tor her; merchants, her lawyers and
her doctors; but the tone Of that paper,

of all the taxpayers Of the State, and
