THE THAI*• '’oi' I’OI.ITICN. l’arty spirit need not degenerate politi cal thought, and docs not, w lie re tlic poli tician and partisan rest on a correct knowledge of principles ami arc led by them alone. The curse ol free people* is the ease with which men become leaders The. btw of the mob is passion rind ho who can identify himself with Hie restless, cry ing, never-do- wells, who has mastered the language of cnn. violence, and polit ical depredation, soon, by sheer lung power, becomes a popular lender. lie la looked upon iu a mouthpiece, und noon liccomcs absorbed witli the people’s rights as they have become established in him self. He is a trader iu politics. He docs not study the science of Gov. eminent, nor does be give a moment’s ro tlection to the needs of the people beyond lilt present scheme, to pres* which be is simply hired. Huch men are found in ull parties. They thrive uu corruption. The deeper it is, the lietter llieir business, and the happier are they Lobbyists of socie ty,they buzz about iu search ofvul nerablen, in order to serve their maslcrs. Politics with them is a means of livelihood and a source of plenty. Huch persons can never be statesmen, and, indeed, must part with natural honesty to succeed In the work they have undertaken. On the other hand n statesman, in any degree, is the honest friend of his race. Jn some sense he is n partisan, but never to the extent of parting with his indepen dence.and never to tlm lowering of his dig nity. lie will not hesitate on a question of right, even at the cost of estranging Ins constituents, who, lie knows, can see the matter only from one shunting point. He must dischargu his duty drat of all on thu line pf exact and equal justice lu ail par lies,before he can play the generous toward ids owu practical scheme It has come to be the glory of Calhoun that ho boldly dolled tho opposition of his particular constituency, for conscience sake, and gave his voice and lutluence to the other side on great public measures. 110 could not prevent the consequent storm, hut he did a greater thing, he withstood it with composure. Knowledge of duty, truth, rigid, expe diency, and a keen appreciation of poster ity's verdict, together with that best of ull friends—the approving conscience, inado ids detlance sublime, and hasteuod the day of vindication, lint few men, oveu so styled statesmen, these days, will dare so much. Our young aspirants for political pre ferment, would do well to consider tho pre-requisitus of gcuuiuc statesmanship.— To servo In tho Assembly of a Btate, is little more than attending n primary school to ho drilled in those practices of parlia mentary chsruclcr which teud to coiuihwo a man for the greater practice of the na tional arena. To have something to say on every question may soon stamp one a blockhead, unless w hat is said be a masterly Compre hension of diniculties, and a clear method of overcoming them. The ready uttciiuicc simply, soon finds its level as a ready utterance, and its mas ter may take ids place as “tho talking member" whose versatile genius touches all questions hut Ynlightcns none. It is the smallest ]>art of a statesman's ability— that of lalkiug. Thought is his thunder, and directness, the first proof of compre hension, is the bolt that parts the subtle questiou or demolishes the difficulty. The fact of makiug a speech is nothing to him. His one concern is the guidance of the na tion and tlic maiuteuaiicc of justice. There are statesman, and they are annul); tho greatest, who never umke s|>oecho To be compelled to listen to them one hour would he w orse than the pillory, yet they more the machinery of lliiugs, auit by the weight of their cabinet i wisdom, give steadiness to the rocking . State, They care little for the boisterous riot of parties, so long as the deep currents of truth, right and law are iiuiutrrruptcd in their course. The upper waves of the sea may be caused by e xtraneoua forces, and the tumultuous rage of the elements, but the commotion i* ooutiued to the Ibiu surface. The deep sea is unsounded by such forces, and moves on in its tuigbty sweep of obe dience to tho laws beneath. Ills go with the State. And the Hue statesman keeps his eye on those principles, the science of which is the profound study of his life. We are not a nation of statesmen, and it gives us no plosssni eto say go The spirit of our age is unfavorable to the produc tion of great men. We are content with mushroom growth ami mushroom stature. Our patience in study is not commensurate with the necessity of It. aud our knowl edge of men goes no farther than the secret of using them. We aspire to place for place, and to high trusts for the glitter which they bring. Tbe hustings pro uounce us great, but the forum mocks us with our own echoes The Ephesians shouted, •• Great is Di ana." but if Diana could have been con scious for thu space of a single thought, she would have discovered that tlu* peo ple honored not her, Imt the brass of which site was composed. The applica tion is painfully easy, which is the only misfortune of the figure. The time coming will need great men— men of thought and men of action. Our youth can have no lack of spur in the one domain or the other. Now is the forma tive period. Now is the preparation scene. History, philosophy, humanity, duty, self, these aro the grand tasks to master, or to set about mastering. History, lliut we may nvoid the errors of the post and profit by the record ; philosophy, that we may grasp the living present as it links us with the past and the future , humanity, that we may be impressed with the importance and sacred nature of the performance in which we must lake a hand ; duty, that we may quicken the conscience, and pre-occnpy the judgment and the heart. and rf that we may he fortified against lb- insidious ness of treachery, and the blandishments which the false prophet of |iersoual ag giandizenient causes to dash before the hes itating eye! Ami the first lesson to be deeply fastened mi the mind, is that, lie w ho gazes on the behest of duly with hes itation. is n Irnllnr in l>is heart, and can only hope to degenerate into a political huckster, w ho will estimate ids obligations by the peiinyweights of gold offered for them. To him politics becomes a trade. HALT A NT HA TV blown the Telegraph and Messenger by the Taylor County Democracy. AVe had a rcjsirlcr at Hie meeting which, by a formal request sent ils proceedings to lie published by our neighbor, who up to the date of Its reception had nothing to say about the meeting. This is little business, and doubtless ns unintentional as it is contemptible. Why designate papers for the publication of proceedings of a State political character, unless, as may be Ilia case iu this instance, the paper so designated, has not public spirit enough to do so w ithout such formal request, Wc have a circulation in Taylor county, and gave our readers a good ac count of the meeting iu advance of our contemporary who publishes the proceed ings, witli tha request to do so to-duy (Saturday) iu a communication dated the l-itli lust. If such unjust discrimination is to lie tlic order, wc Bliall cease to publish re ports gotten iip by our private enterprise ami wait to be invited, by an official vote to lie good enough to publish what is graciously sent, and then consign it to the waste basket. AANAT I ll* TO < OKIti:NIOA|. ItEATN Stuiimt tins met the phrase—" balance of nature," but thinks ho is not clear as to its meaning, and begs a "short answer.” Wo remember the same difficulty iu our owu early studies Indeed, wc have never understood tlic principle which the pin use covers. Science undoubtedly teaches w hat we mny term the balance of nature —the law of compensation. Thu wisest philosophers have affirmed that “nature has adjusted h balance between the pro duction and destruction of uninml life." ami this is the technical meaning of the phrase to which " Stndeut" refers. lustimec This balance was disturbed in Trance at one time, by the killing of so muny birds, as to leave vegetation ut terly exposed to caterpillars, which later ally destroyed every green and fruitful tiling in gulden anil field.

CoLl’Min s, 0 , Sept. 20.—Horace Gree ley arrived here at ten this morning. A large crowd of persons gathered at the depot when the train arrived. John G. Thompson introduced Mr. Greeley who w as received with cheers, and spoke about five minutes. He said, in substance, that seven years having passed since the close of the civil war, it seemed no less than reasonable that its attendant proscription and evil should cease ; that there was no good reason why llio American people should hate one another, or should pro scribe one another. Sonic said there was a part of the peo ple who should not vote, on account of their participation in the w ar. We deny that auy should he proscribed because ef tlic war. Tbc opposition say Ibis class are few. Wc say no, sir, there are thou sands of this class among the best citizens in Arkansas alone. General Seigel, some years ago, wrote from South Carolina tiial (lie principal reason the reconstruction w# a failure was because men of property were pro scribed and not allowed In vole, while 1 he ignorant chores could vole away llieir property Mr. Greeley continued, ilie lime inis fully come when all should say to these thousands, who were aguinst us. conic for ward and help us, free us we are, to rebuild the waste pluces of eur country. This is what we understood by reconciliation, (cheers) none proscribed and uone under the ban. Home ask. “do you want us to vote for relicts for office?" I say you are oniy asked to allow ull to vote for whom they please. How shall a man he called a relic! who, seven years ago, returned to liis allegiance, took tlic oath and lias since been a good citizen and done all he can to build up the country ? 1 hold it as ail error to cull such rebels. Mr. Greeley concluded by saying:— “ Let there tie no proscription ; but let us all. while or black, unite to build up our country.” (Cheers.) He was obliged to bring bis remarks to an abrupt conclusion on account of the noise made by the preparations of the train to depart. The crowd called for more, and Sir. Greeley made his appeurauce at tlic end of the car again, hut just then the locomotive was hitched to the car, which was pulled some distance up the truck to allow another car to lie attached. After all was quiet again, General Walker, of Virginia, was called upon, and said "FeUowcitizent I am glad to meet you this bright September morning. 1 am glnd to see before me so many intelligent, honest voters who will, I doubt not, cast their suffrages for Mr. Greeley. [Cheers.] The Old Dominion lias been, in tlic past, a leader of States and of the Union, when she led the South, followed even in the late war. The Confederacy was nothing until Virginia cast her lot with it. The Confederacy could not have lived six months without the Old Dominion, und when she surrendered on the plains ol the plains of Appomatax the rebellion was over. In 1 HOD Virginia inaugurated this great Liberal movement on her soil, and since all lias been well within her borders. You do not hear there of acts of Kuklux and hank defalcations ; but only good government and pence. Virginia has pride in this great work, and she appeals to you, her duughter, Ohio, to come to her support ami to help reclaim this country. [Loud cheers ] Mr. Greeley then seated himself at a window of his car, and shook hands with all who desired it. ♦ ♦ AEW TOKH. 4 > i-3i si I Summing Around. Robbery in Fliilndelpiiiu.

Among the very beat speeches deliver ed at the New York mass meeting, was that of Mr. Handers, a colored man of the State of Maryland. He spoke in Tamma ny Hall, and his thrilling utterances were frequently drowned by the enthusiasm of the vast audience. The subjoined extract Is a fair sample : Gentlemen, standing here as I do to night uttering my sentiments in Tammany Hall, in the city of New York, I recog nize in my own humble person the great advance that lias been made in the civili zation of this country. [Applause ] 1 recognize how lar this grand country has advanced in the last decade. I recognize how highly I ought to appreciate the po sition I occupy as an American citizen, and for one—and I thiuk I can speak for a few friends of mine—l say that on the stli of November you will find the best hearts in the colored race standing by tbe banner of progress, the banner of liberty, the bauner of peace aud reconciliation. [Applause ] We propose to go forward in this work determined tq accomplish something for those that have done so much for us. [Applause] We seek no office, we desire no emolument, we ask no thanks ; we only want our rights re tained to us. and that the rights of ail per sons through this broad land shall be re tained to them. We ask that the people of North Caro lina shall enjoy every right that the peo ple of New York enjoy; we ask that the writ of habeat corpus shall not be sus pended in this State by despotic authority, or in the State of South Carolina, nor any where. [Applansel We nsk and hvg the people to go forward in this great work and rescue the people of the South, white and black, from the rapacity which preys upon them. Without de tracting from the distinguished soldier who occupies the Presidential chair to-day, wc thiuk that Horace Greeley is a better man to occupy that position. [Applause ] We arc not responsible that the President is incompetent. We did not invent or man ufacture the man. [Laughter ] I believe that ull things and men are made for a purpose. Our Heavenly Father made that gentleman, 1 tuippo-o. for some pur pose, but I do not believe it ■ made him to occupy the Presidential clmir for eight years. [Applause.] We do not propose to butt against Providence—[renewed laughter]—even though that distinguished gentleman believes that lie is the especial Providenco of this couutry; but we do propose to obey the wishes of the Ameri can people and remove him from the Paesidenlial chair. The Pool Tax. —Our Stute exchanges are animadverting upon the fact that Mr. Grant’s faction bus arranged for tlic pay ment of the negro poll tax in the State, so as that they shall be free to vote the Grant ticket. Very well. We beg to inform our friends I hut the Administration party will not only pay the negro poll tax, but the tax of auy white man who will in re turn vote their ticket. Hundreds of our Democratic voters have not puid their poll tax. It should be one of the first du ties of Democratic Clubs, to limit them out, and assist them in doing their primary duty. If they cannot pay the tax—pay it for them. Wc need every vote and must not be defrauded of our victory by u matter so easily adjusted. The Savannah News goes for us in the following lively manner. To have the confidence and appreciation of our ablest contemporary in the State is some thing of which we are proud; and if J.
