PEACE COULD BE HAD.
In shrinking contrast TO the sayings OF q
all our leading religlous papers and some ol
their ministerial Contributors last week, dis
cussed our political situation profoundly and
dispassionatsly. If every layman will catch
will soon dawn. II 1t was not prearranged,
then 1t was u remarkable coincident that the
Christian Advocate, Presbyterian, A. 4. Pres
byterlau aud Baptist Courier should publish
tion OH the evils which now oeset us and their
remedies. The following concise contributed
to the Baptist Courier by the pastor OF the
pastor OF The Green wood Baptist church,
shows the trend OF most that the Others said :
MODERATE MEN TO THE FORE.
Dear Courier: You have always. very prop
erly, avoided anything like partizan politics.
So have I. | could not be induced to enter
that domain. 1 know you could not. What
/ am about 10 write IL perfectly free from par
tisanshp, and Is dictated by pure patriotism.
!. II In u fact there Is division among our
people In south Carolina. With regrad TO the
causes whicn have led to that division, have
not one word To say. Ionly note the TACT that
there Is division.
.. The division here noted is an unhappy
good men deplore. 1t may, and probably
will, lead 70 results yet more deplorable.
3. This division 10 unnecessary. Whatever
may have been true az TO the necessity for II
meet men every day who stand on opposite
sides OF The line Of division, and who, at the
same time, hold the same principles. They
are true brothers when II comes to principle,
toned. Now, submit that this ought not
10 be so. such men ought not 10 know any
line of division. There ought TO be found
some way 70 forget that line. Each one ought
TO edge up towards the other until both stand,
foot 10 foot, right on top OF that line.
4. This division will never be healed by ex-
tremists or violent partizans on either side OF
the controversy. The temperate, moderate
and, for the sake OF The peace and prosperity
OF their loved Carolina, they must see eye 70
eye, and get together. and put moderate men
nj O to n X
Ing Office. Let men OF that sort be put into
Office. There are able and moderate men al
ready In office. Let men Of that sort be re-
tained in office, and promoted when pratt.
cable. Many good men are sighing for the
coming together Of the moderate, and the
leaving OF extremists by the wayside, no mat
ter to that party or faction they may belong.
