sTHE HEiiANDERsONsRRsOLUTIONs.

In our editorial upon this subject, in,
reply;tS the article Of the Meas and coi-
re- last week, Ne shought,. that our Ian.
guage was sufficiently simple, and our
ideas 50 plainly expressed, as to leave no
room for any. misconception, but, from
the News and oburaH's reply. to it, We
find that this was mistake, as our
Charleston contemporary entirely mis-
construes each Of the several positions
assumed By rs in the article. Whether
this results from q total ignorance of tho
proper use Of the English language on
our pant, OF whether itisthe consequence
Of inastention on the part of the Ne,cs
and Courier, must be determined BY our
readers In beginning its reply to. our
last editorial on the debt question, the
Nepsa and Courier Says.
The substance Of the reply of the An
Sderson INrELLIGlsNCER to our comments
3 upon the Anderson Resolutions Is that
!. .the Anderson Committee desire to pay
:. aesesy dollar Justly due the creditors OF
the State, but are not in favor OF, IAN
s indiscrinlinatc payment of everything
q that pfe,snds to .be a debt of the State -
:. So far there Is absolute unanimity OF
opinion in South Carolina. The;irre-
concilable Repndiators profess to be will.
ing to provide for the honest debt to the
last farthing; tho .toutest supporters OF
the settlement under the Consolidation
shct dono ask for the recognition ofany
debt fos which the State IS not morally
and legally liable. It-is when We come
TO define the meaning of the words used
on either side that the divergence of In
s tention and purpose is exhibited.
The Meas md 5taIer then proceeds to
the point Of its whole article when it
!. takes up or sreatmsn. of tas Illegal the
JeaudHleat ard ths- squandsred debt, and
: attempts to showthat none of these terms
apply to the consolidated debt because,
1st, It was not issued contrary to LAW, but
IN conformity with the act for that pur-
pose; End, None of there bonds are
fraudulent because they uere no. sacri..
fced.at nominal values, but each Consol-
idated Bond represents two old bonds, as
) provided BY the act; srd, That none of
thess bonds constitute the squandered
debt, because there was lio money in
them to; be squandered, but each of them
