The Democratic party of South Jaroliua, in Convention assembled, inuotiueo Llie following as its platlonn )1 principles: "Wu declare our acceptance in perfect good faith ot the Thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth Ainendinents ,o the federal Constitution; accepting nul standing upon them, we turn from die settled and final past to the great iving and momentous issues of the present and the future. We adopt the platform of principles mnounccd by the National Democratic parly recently assembled at St. Louis, ind pledge ourselves to a full and liearty eo operation in securing the ^Section ol its distinguished nominees, Samuel J, Tildon, ot New York, ami rhomas A.

In accordance with the declarations ol that platform, and the utterances and acts ol our distinguished leader, we demand a genuine and thorough reform in the State ot South Carolina, and call upon all ol its citizens, irrespective ot race, color or previous condition, to rally with us to its redemption, for it is evident that substantial and lasting reform is impossible within the ranks of the ltcpubli can narly of thin State, We charge that parly with arraying race against race, creating disturbances, and fomenting difficulties; with prostituting the election franchise, tampering with the ballot-box, and 'holding unfair and fraudulent elections; with having accumulated an enormous debt, mismanaged the finances, and injured iho credit, ol tho State; with levying exorbitant taxes and squandering them when collected, thus wringing from the toil and livelihood ol the honest poor tnau of the ? ii mm ?ii 11 > mmmm iMMMBM . v jl1L JL _A 11 Xnclopc)] VYHOIK), S.

We do not charge this condition ol things, which every patriot most deeply deplores, upon the masses of the party, ! tint upon their leaders, who have made ( such talal use ol their confidence and trust; lor it is our linn conviction that all the good people of the .Stale, of both races, desire peace and prosperity. We, therefore, call upon all of our lellow-citi/.mis, irrespective ol race or past party alliliation, to join with us in restoring the good name ol their State, and lo again elevate it to a placo of dignity and character among the commonwealths of litis great country.

We desire a lair, peaceable, election, appealing to the rearon and not the passions ol the people, and demand of the Republican parly a fair showing in the nppointnienl ol commissioners of election. We demand a lair election and a lair count. We call upon all ol Ibc patriotic sous ol Carolina to join us. Wo ask but a trial of committing the Slate to our keeping, and if good government, security protection and prosperity do not dawn in our over taxed, despoiled, and disheartened people, then drive lis Iroiu power, with scorn and indignation. Our object is reform, rctrciehmciit, and relief, that by honesty and economy we may reduce the taxes, and lighten the burthens of the people; giving at the same time absolute security and protection to the rights and property ol all.

A new method of gold-digging has been invented by nunc geniuses 01 this city, who evidently have a taste lor the iin tal, Imt don't care to grub around to?- it among dirt and rocks of the Western mines, under the additional disadvantage ol being liable at any mouieiit to he "snatched baldheaded" by those uneasy ahoiigines who are making the lilack Hills too hot lor comfort. The new plan is to take a twenty dollar gold piece and lion? :i hole lliroiurh tin dimnet ei iron: edge to edge as largo as may be without. distuibiug tho suiiaco ol the ooin. From this main shaft tunnels are bored out 10 every direction till the piece which looks all right, oxcepting the lii lie hole on one edge, is really honeycombed. Having worked the "lead" to its utmost capacity the operator plugs the holes with some heavy wire to restore the piece to standard weight, carclully restores the milled surlaco over the hole in the edge and repeats iho operation on another piece. The advantages of this system ot mining are too manifest to admit of argument. Instead ot a life ol severe toil, pri\atioo and exposure in constant peril from man, beast or disease and often with scanty and uncertain reward, our inventive) geniuses have mi Instituted ease, comfort and certain profit. Who wouldn't dig for tho shining metal when it can he done in dressing gown and slippers, and in the hosoui ol ones family?
