Party Machinery. Messrs. Editors: In your issue of 2nd Auril. vou criticize with j A ?. j severity and candor the action of the recent convention. Presuming your columns arc open to those who do not concur in your vievr. and referring to your editorial commencing', "The March Convention is over. The gravity of the situation "aused by the unprecedented proceedings of this convention is appalling, etc." 1 venture to inquire: "Why appalling? They i are the proceedings of a convention j of lovul democrats, men devoted to I the general welfare. Let us freely consider the situation of affairs throughout the whole country. The farmers and laborers are plucked and plundered on every hand. The general government is administered in the interest of the plunderers. Its attitude towards silver as money costs the farmers annually probably not , less than 8300,000.000. The plundering tariff, with its inevitable concomitants. to wit, monopolists in every shape and form, imposes another loss upon consumers amounting to hundreds of millions. The great Xapoleon, with plundered Europe at his feet, was not able, during the whole period of his ascendency, to pour as many treasures into the coffers of France, as the plutocrats are draining > from the pockets of the toiling- people v of the United Slates eacli year. The government is a plutocracy, an absolutism that recognizes 110 responsibility to the masses of the people. It is fortilied in its position by the sectional character of the two great political parties. In general elections the plutocrats always succeed in subordinating every issue 10 the negro question. The plundered classes at the north arc deluded, those at the south are | helpless. The only rational method or remedying this deplorable condition is the crystallizing the power oC the plundered by organizing them. And jyet every effort oi: this nature is antagonized and has been liitherto foiled by the press and the leading men. thus exposing themselves, whether or not deservedly. I. cannot sa\\ to tho reproach of being plutocratic in their preferences, lint, you may say. what has this to do with the convention? Let us consider. AVhether well or ill-founded, there is, nevertheless, a wide spread belief that the convention plan of nominating officers has resulted, in the establishing of a qualified suffrage: a suffrage rcn-i/wt oviiPi-f nc wivn.

That these wire-pullers and slate-makers may sometimes fail to present such nominees for party support as would have been done, if the choice of the majority had been previously ascertained. It need not be asserted that tills has been done; it is sufficient to observe that it is possible; and what follows but minority rule, an oligarchy, the voice of the people suppressed. In a democratic (?) government this is appalling. This state of affairs is duplicated in each of these United States, it is believed; with the result a minority president, andininorreprcsentation * in Congress, from whom the masses have ceased to hope to obtain relief from their oppressions.

South Carolina can only ?et her own household in order, and it would seem to be a duty she owes ro herself and to true democracy to do so. if possible.

After the regular busine.ss had been transacted,, the canning factory question was taken up and discussed at some length. The members were called on to express their opinions as to the advisability of establishing a canning factory at this place anil all found to be heartily in favor of it and willing to invest in it. The cost of the outfit based upon the letter of Mr. Ii. Calhoun, in the News and IIkrald, the probability of securing a building at a reasonable rent and the cost of raising vegetables for canning purposes were -discussed. It was thought that the undertaking would meet with a hearty support and steps were taken to put the matter on a firm basis and push it to complo tion. The capital stock was placed at $500, in shares of -510 each. Seventeen shares were taken before the meeting adjourned and a committee was appointed to canvass the subject and solicit subscriptions. The meeting adjourned to meet on Tuesday night. April 9. A meeting of the citizens \vas held last night to firther discuss pirns lor raising mc necessary suuscription to establish the canning factory. The efforts of the committee appointed at the meeting on Friday night and a canvass among the members present resulted in raising twenty additional shares, making a toial of thirty-seven shares taken, with thirteen more to be raised. It being thought that the remaining shares could be easily disposed of. steps wero taken for permanently organizing. On motion a president, vicepresident and a board of live directors were elected, which arc :i< follows: President.I. M. Galloway. vicc-pres:dent S. II. Johnston.. directors. T. G. Patrick. A. J.

The building being large and conveniently located to the railroad, the oiler was accepted. The people arc thoroughly in earnest in regard to the enterprise and will push the work with all possible do snatch. We shouul >(ate that though the action \va.< inaugurated by the Farmers" Club. the subscription list is open to all. The Xmv.'s and iikuald deserves credit for agitating the subject of establishing canning factories; and we think good results will accrue from tln< agitation. JUDGE WAY DOTS.
