The IsInds County What-Hou-
MRy-G'aII-1t.

There hos been good deal OF
down right absurdity and simplicity.
if not knavery, mixed up with the
Fusion question in Kinds county.
In the first place, both the Democra-
tic and Republican parties had to
lay aside for the time being any
question as to party principles, and
g. into bargain, pure and simple,
for the spoils of o,lice. Then again,
the Democrats should have known
that after satisfactory division
had been decided upon, that the so
called leaders of the Il puhlicans,
could not deliver the goods the
votcrs) And still again, the Rcpub-
cans should have known,as we know,
that ir mixed ticket had been put
out, there are hundreds of white
Democrats in the county, who would
have scratched every blessed negro :
name placed upon il, and therefore
the white goods (voters) wouldn't
have been delivered Citler. This sad
condition of affairs Is the effect of
dies picab'e race prcjadices which are
dlscreditable alike to both races. but
f,r all that, the fact remains.
We have not stated the case any
too strongly, anil it will be seen that
if there had bee any fusion under
these circumstances. the Democrat.
would have had to elect their men
lust the same as without any fusion,
and the negro Republicans, ditto.
Why attempt then to fuse? "Oh,
to cultivate friendly and fraternal
relations between the races, and Sc
cure mutual political recognition
white patriot and negro oitice-seek
er would echo in reply. But as we
have indicated above the sequel
would show tat there had DCen
lylccrisy and deceit lurking some
where and that there were lack OF
sincerity-a hollow mockeiy-in
these professions, or else their authors
were simplctonS.
In short, the whole thing, to an
outsider. looked Ike going it blind
as to all true principle and reason
and fusing for office only.

Rotation in Office.

its language as our own.
Had the doctrine Of Rotation IN
Office been adopted, and carried out
Ivy South Carolina, Kentucky and
Ma, sachusctts, on what page Of the

Calhoun, Clay and Webster have
been written? WhQC would have
been their usefulness or greatness as
statesmen? What would those
States. or the country have gained,
had they been "rolattd" cut of office
before they had learned ITS duties?
Yet we Goubt not that during all the
long and brilliant services Of the
great tliumvirate.' there were plen-
tv of small fry who wanted their
places. and who would have oustCd
them could they have done so.
we have now, in every commu-
uity, a lot of hungry aspiraGts, who
are signing and in;Iisueine, for
other mems places, and who are
splitting their threats clyirg "rota--

power to prevent extOrtiOnate charg-
