Congress took q receys on the Ioth inst.

Congress took q recess on the 10th inst.
until the 9th day Of January next. Up
to the time of adjournment nothing of
general interest was done. Each party
seemed to be resting OH their oars, and
waiting for tho other to move. The only
measure of any political Significance was
tho resolution Of Senator Voorhees,, OF
Indiana, directing inquiry concerning the
exodus Of colored people from North Car
olina to Indiana, which produced consid-
erable commotion in tho Senate. The
resolution was adopted. We cannot un-
derstan6 the right of Congress to investi-
gate the cause or motives which induce
citizens of one State TO remove into an
other, and it seems to us that Congress-
will have itB hands full If It attempts
such Investigations. Why does Congress
not inquire what induced tho carpet
baggers to leave South Carolina so hur-
riedly in 1877 I We regard this move as
en- unfortunate one, as q biunder and aa
getting bad precedent.

In tho lato election In Maiue for mem
bers OF tho Legislature the Republicans
obtained ut the polls majority sufficient
to give thom the control of both branches
Of tho Legislature. BY law tho Governor
and Council canvass tho .roturns and are
required to throw out oil whore the
election was not conducted M tho law
directed or the returns wero irregular.
In tho exercise Of this duty, they rejected
tho returns from number of tho polling
precincts, thereby giving tho Democrats
. decided majority in both branches Of
the Legislature. This action on the part
OF the Governor and his Council has pro-
duced howl Of indignation among the
Republicans. Indignation meetings have
been held and revolution Threatened. To
read tho speeches of tho leading Republi-
cans OF the State at those meetings and
The resolutions adopted, it would no YER
occur to any mind that these virtuous
Republican leaders, who now threaten
blood and thunder IL tho will Of the ma
jority at the polls is set aside by the forms
Of law, two years ago threatened revolu-
ton unless the sovereign will of the peo-
pie OF the United States was set aside and
fraud foisteG into the Presidential
chair. We arc not sufficiently informed
TO say whether the Governor and his
Council arc right or wrong in this mat
ter; but we do say that tho Democrats
declared elected, who were not elected by
the people, should at once resign, and by
their example condemn the great fraud
which should consign all concuxncti into
merited infamy.

o do know that the Democratic people
OF this portion Of South Carolina do not

tones Of disepproval to which his consti-

the contents Of his letter, he would havo
iitt,o doubt that tiioiF b0sonis beat res-

that grand old party-which Is the ex-
ponent of pure Republican principles, is
not shaked by past events or future dam
gers, nor turned aside by tho disposition,
becoming so prevalent, to rrn aher now

From the L1urenspille Herald.
We think that the meaning Of Col. Al.
ken's letter has been miSconstrued by q
fow. For our oart, we can sec nothing
eiso than what was embodied In The
Democratic platform Of 1876, II his ideas
be carried into effect: A Government
which would administer just laws to the
whole people, and which would know no
North, no South, 10 East, no West ;

The Democratic party cannot benefit IL,
and certainly have the tendency to
strengthen; and emboiden tho Republi-
cans. AT tho present timo no good can
result to tho party or the country by the
publication of such letters AZ these. Tho
two great parties arc to-df y the rcpreson.
tativos OF different forms of government I;
tho Democracy representing constitu-
tional liberty and tho Republicans con-
solidated dispotism. The great absorbing
question Is not the appropriation OF few
million OF dollars more to one section of
the country than TO another, but tho
perpetuation Of Constitutional liberty 20
succeeding ages. "Wipo out tho Demo
cratic party" a,J Col. Aiken would have
us do, and we will wipe out our Federal
Constitution and State governments, and
have established tho one-man power.
Tho Democratic party will continue as
long as representative government is
sustained, and not until this Is abolished
and the country under the heels of tho
despot will Democracy fail. Col. Aiken's
views are not those Of his constituents,
who will romsin true to tho ouly party
with which they are, and their fathers
before them wcro identified
