Platform linkers are now at work. Within a few davs we nave seen I . - 1 I several attempts to show what the Democrats ouht to do. Each . . . I wntrr .has his notions. The iNew I York Herald, the Charleston News and Courier, and other papers have ie it fnrinnlatitii; a set of principles is:.. . 11 . which the old party that has liiif battle ho long and been; so-ac- . ciiMtomt'd to hanl knocks and over- wlM-imiiii; ilffoats must hereafter 1 1 Oj.tT.i'o. vi take it mat at present, 1 there wiil he no new dejiai tures made I or new principle n incorporated into I the patty. It may In come raAre pro gressive as lime goes on, but ciing to the old lime honorc it will I 1 trineri that are essential to the very life of the Union. As we understand it, the wriiiic party is 111 favor speech, free ballot and a fair Ii is in favor of honest money Dem-lthal free I , I and a tariff for revenue; is opposed to sub- J sidies and monopolies; demands equal I rights under the Constitution for all classes and section-. It is opposed I to corruption in pfhee; deraauds economy in the management government; is opposed toi of the class iegislation; is for restricting Chinese I emigration; is opposed to all assess- meni8 of public officials for political .purposes; is for keeping the Judiciary ciear of all partisanship; is the stead- I fast advocate and defender of local Belf government; is opposed to a cen tralized government and all attempts on the part of the Federal authori ties to usurp power, to bulldoze free men through deputy marshals and an arinv of supervisors: and is for maintaining the Constitution as it is, according to the theory and practice of the fathers and the earlier Fresi- dents. - According to our understanding these are the leading principles of the Denio;ratic nartv. MaiiV of these j - j . . are not new, but , are as old as . ine Government itself. They are the very mudsills of Constitutional lib - erty. lhey. must tie insisted upon through all the future. An abandon mentof fundamental doctrines should not be tolerated or even listened to with patience. It would be madness itself to eliminate the great underly inir safeguards and muniments from a O y , any platform, that' may be adopted .hereafter. The talk of breaking up the grand oldDemocracy is to our ears full of sa.luess and danger. It is to .Pn - don honesty and fidelity and capabil ity in the administration of the Qo- vernmentw , What is our . Government?

CJtBOLINl. ; The New York Bulletin has an in struclive article on the census of South Carolina, and points out hf moral of the figures furnished by that State; The increase in populatipn during the" last twenty yeats was greater than the preceding forty. The Charleston News abcounts for this .on true grounds. It says that South Carolina was a feeder of other States during that period, jit says: "The extent of this emigration whs enor- were 240,006 natives or Bouin Carolina. Over a fourth of the persona born here bad moved away, and this emigration, for tie moat part, took place prior to 1860. There is no longer any emigration oi conse quence.'

A RATIOHAL BAKBIIPT X.A Vtj. Uhere is a movement on foot in Boston to have a new National Bank- i 1 .- rupt law enacted by the Congress. We have received a circular embody ing the proposed changes. Joeing but little inclined to favor another law in view of the great abuses of! the one that expired some two years aso, we did nbt give the matter of a change I T6 mucb consideration. We can not oouDt that a law might be passed that would be of real benefit if pro- m m I TIATl V ATAOntPd But there lies the I f . rub ? Can any bankrupt law be so worded, so guarded, and so executed ; - ' ' ' .. - f that it will not prove a source of icor- ruption and a bid for rascality ? We I u A-u :. tmn. I J aws that have been tried proved very! sbr rious failures. That some law ought to exist for 1 the benefit of insolvent debtors that 1 ' ia . 1 j seem just and proper, lhere is per tainly a great desire in the North- for such a law. We believe the leading business men approve of such a law, and have petitioned to the Congress for the passage of one. 1 hey say there is an imperative necessity for such a law. They of course know a ereat deal more concerning thej ne cessities of trade and the demand for a law of the kind than we can-know, and we would be willing to see sup a law adopted if the ingenuity of I lawyers oould be equal to the task of would protect i men wno baa tailed honestly, ana not protect thieves and scoundrels, who 1 ayaUed themselves of its berjefits only to swindle and deceive. l hra mnsL n mnrn roaann . tnr - a I i I bankrupt law among Southern busi- ness men than among Northern If a man fails in the North and makes i ;an nonesv Burrenaer oi all assetsJ and it is apparent, that hia insolvency ia a I misfortune, he is apt to find friends wui set i mux up again anu give mm a cnauce w L1168' .CD' i11 not so often m the South.

C FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1880. friendly hands being extended to lift him from the slough of despond there will be found those who will heap mud upon him ta sink him deeper. We suppose it more than probable that the next Congress will enact a bankrupt law pretty much like that recommended by the. Boston Board of Trade. It corrects . many of the evils of the old law it is said. Re ferring to the Boston bill the Wash ington -Posi says : S'It affords better facilities for those who may need its ' provisions, and subjects the parties i to much less vexation and cost. The last bankrupt law provided a system of fees for officials, and, in many instances, these were exhorbitant. Officers accumu lated fortunes rapidly out of money that should have been divided among needy creditors.. The proposed bill obviates this objection 4y providing salaries instead of fees. Another bad feature of the expired lawrwss that it required hligantstogo. wjh 1 u?- iMrST This will be remedied by the appointment of a greater number of officers in bink- ruptcy." 1 The necessity for a general law is seen when it is remembered that in some of the States there is no provi sion for men who are unfortunate in business. Besides, about ninety or ninetv-five men out of the hundred -a I Rhoda Isliind bnt liftlft larrrpr than I Well, they are reDels; so was Kooert u.m fail in business at some period 0f "Doae A8,and Dut lltUe iarSer lh&n met, Lord Edward, Wolfe Tone, and their lives. We remember that a long time sinoe Hunt's Merchants1 Magazine gave it as a fact that in Boston, where men are supposed to be smart and sharp and knowing, ninety-five per cent, of the trading men failed. 4 If a law is passed it will not be perfect, we may believe, and it will be abused as all laws are but it will ' ' be a great improvement on the old one we must hope.

Charlotte Democrat: Do not the taxes in this county exceed the conrli tutionsl limitation including that for State, county, road, 'bridge and city? No matter what the decision of the.
