MLAUR1N's POSITION.
Paid by Democrats He Hoes The
Republican Row.

To the Editor: The political sentiments
uttered by Senator McLaurin at Char
lotte, afford legitimate subject for dis
cussion and honest difference OF opinion
among all intelligent citizens of our
common county They are however dis
tinctly Republican in character AS Sem
ator McLaurin holds his position as Sem
ator. with all the power, dignity and
emoluments thereto belonging, at the
hands of Democrats, as the commission
was giveH in full trust and confidence
that he would use it for the benefit of
the party, it becomes question of per-
sonal honor with the Senator Can he,
while holding a commission and drawing
pay as a Democrat, consistently and hon
orably aid the Republicans? hires B
to hoe corn for him one week B, while
receiving pay from A, hoes corn for C. Is
it legitimate? If a man holding a COM
mission as Brigadier General in the Uni
ted States Army directly or indirectly
gives aid and comfort to the enemy court
marshal will deal with him promptly and
severely. Democrats and Republicans are
always at war. man holding high and
honorable position at the head of one par
ty has no right to uphold the policies OF
the other and retain his commission Sir
Walter Scott has given US an admirable
picture of a soldier of fortune in the per-
son of Captain Dugald Dalgetty The
captain cared nothing for the right OF
wrong of the side he fought for 'Provant
and Pay were his watchwords Having
once enlisted however, no earthly power
could make him false to his side during
him term of enlistment
There is no legal tribunal before which
Senator McLaurin can be tried. There Is
bar of Public Opinion. South Carolnians
were once very sensitive on point ot
honor. The country at large will watch
with some interest their verdict Can
man rightfully draw pay as a Demo
crat and hoe corn fer Republicans?
