The Watchn,an E Southron feels
somewhat disgraced this week Since
The last issue its nan 'as been men-
toned some FIVE or more times in the
editorial columns of the Columb bia
Register. We are glad to be able TO say /,
however. that the organ did got praise
US. and our disgrace ia less disgraceful.
1t all came about On account OF
a little paragraph referring to Con-
gresham McLaurin's attack on the
Carlisle currency plan, which appeared
in the last issue As usual, the chad
to-buy.it" made haste to defend one OF
the tin gods of reform, aud incidentally
to overwbelm the ignorant and unfor-
tunate country editor-which is our
self-who bad profaneIy mentioned the
creature to whom the Register says Its
prayers day and night. In the course
of a column and half article the Register
gets iu two very good things-an
extract from a letter writteu by Thomas
Jefferson aud an extract from Con gress
man McLaurin' speech and the balance
is pretty fair to middliu*,, for in il the
phosphorescent intellect that straddles
the Registers tripod at" almost every
thing else. except retAwm and Cal
Caug gilman, expresses the very contempt
ible opinion he eotertaius of the
country editor. As We have said
before. we are well pleased and
krow that we are honest and re-
spectacle. at least. if not brilliant, so
long as the Register does not fawn
around US With its jackal-like smile of
approval.
The point at issue is just this: Mr.
McLaurin proposed plan for the
temporary relief Of the financial strln-
geucy by the Issue of greenbacks, and,
as a temporary relief by expansion,
was a very good scheme, aud we SO
expressed ourseif at the time. But
Carlisle's plan looks beyond mere tenn
porary relief, and as such merited the
support of Democrats McLaurin' 3
fight against the bill has the SAVIOR of
the dog in the mapger-he could not
get his measure for temporary relief
through Congress. therefore be will
exert himself to prevent the success
of any other measures Our diagnosis
of Mr.. McLaurin's case struck soft
spot on the editorial pro'uberance OF
reform
