Aldrich has recently written a letter to Mr. "Whitehead, of St. Louis, in which whilst supporting the platform and nominations of the Cincinnati Con vention, he advisc3 the Southern peeple to content themselves with ratifying these in mass meetings, find to send nc delegates to the Baltimore Convention. "This," Bays he, "will ^lace such a respon sibility on the dissatisfied Demo crats of the North and West that I would doubt they would assume itf A bolt before is much better thau after hot blood 13 engender The advice, we think, would be good, if such a course would either prevent the assembling of the Balti more Convention, or mast effectual ly control its action. But the Convention has been called, and will be held, and the South is now i to decide upon the policy and prac ticability of controlling its deliber ations, Is the issue to bo decided I tl.nf nniu-ontinn nnfi in which ' Ujr tilUL UUI?lvutiuM ? ehe has a vital interest; and, if so,( should not be fully represent ed? Admit that Stato "Reform is more important than Reform at Wash ington, it is to effect that very end, that the South is so unanimous in the support of the Greeley and Brown platform, and the Cincinnati ' nominees. A choice between po- 1 Jitical parties at the North may be one of taste, but to us it is a ques- 1 tion of life and death. We sus- 1 tain the party of Reform, as the only mode of securing relief from i. debt and taxation and military . rule. , j Upon the action of the Balti- : more Convention depends the suc cess or defeat of the Liberal move ment. So well assured of this are the supporters of Grant, that they1 ore using every means to secure! the nomination of an independent; +i/?lrat- o<- "RnltimnrA* "Vfth this ist ilVAWV ?W ?? - ? the suicidal course urged by the flew York World and prominent leaders of that wing of the party. They are advocating the very course which would ensure the election of Grant. To countcract the influence of scheming politi cians we need a strong representa tion from, the South; who shall give utterance to that earnest cry for deliverance which is now heard throygbout the South. As the Chariesion Hews remarks: With .a strong delegation of Lib eral Democrats from the South in that'Convention, it is almo9t cer taiu'thata Democratic nomination "wilijbe averted and the Cincinnati candidates aud platform be accept ed by the Democratic party. - This last course in&ures the succcss of the Liberal Republican mtPfement ?it insures to the South four years of Pair-play and Equal Rights, it insures to the whole country a re turn of harmony and peace. The question is? Can the South afford to rim any risk, when it is evident that in the hands of the Southern delegates practically lies the decis ion whether the .Democracy shall, or shall not, nominate party candi dates? The Southern States, in other words, will determine by their presence and by their votes'at Baltimore, whether Grant or Gree ley shall be the next President of the United States. To ratify the nominations at mass meetings would have no effect. There "is nnfl Wrtv ill wViinVi tVir> /^oaifrnc VMIJ V??v " +~J ?

A paper for the purpose of obtaining signatures is bow being circulated, but the movement is meeting very strong opposition frOm the leaders of the Kepublicau party, who seem to fepr that an extra session will add the last feather*^ height: to break! the back of tte State* government G. A. Duvall, State Senator from Chesterfield has addressed a letter to the Presideut of the Senate, giving the folloiving reasous for opposing the meeting ; ? . . ' First.? There is no exigency, financial or otherwise, that de mands the call. Second.?It will increase the burthen of the State, whose Treas ury is now empty. Third.?Tljere 1ms already been a prolonged session, with, "Ithink," much unwise legislation. Fourth.?It will be ap encroach ment on the prerogative of the Governor of the State, whose duty it is to call the General Assembly together ou extraordinary occa sions. Fifth.?I regard the move as a political one, which will not in any way relieve the financial condition ,01 the State, aim ir tue unjcui ui the circular referred to be carried out, it will be the last feather that will break the camel's back. To which the Columbia Union (Republican) adds,'by way of com ment : The legislative tricksters are still at work devising plans by which to get the Geueral Assembly together jigain June 10. The object of the scheme is so transparent that no one need err in arriving at a suc cessful solution of this problem. The sale of delinquent lands takes place the first of Juno, and these cormorants think there will be af forded them another opportunity to draw upon the Treasury after the binds are sold: hence the meeting. We warn the people in every County against this movement, and we hope they will take occasion to spot every man whose name ap pears upon the call. The. legisla ture could do 110 earthly good if it were to assemble, even if it were made up of good men, as it is not ?with a few honorable exceptions ?there is potliing which can be done that will atf'ord relief until ufter the collection of taxes already levied. If the Legislature were in session when these taxes are col lected, there is no question in the mind of any r,r>e man as to what would become of the money. Let the people instruct the Representa tives of their respective Counties to remain at home, and not attempt to meddle in any way with the financial condition of the State, riiey cannot help it, while they mav do it infinite harm. GEN. KERSHAW'S LETTER. Gen. J. B. Kershaw, of Cam den, has written a letter to Cul. Simeon Fair, of Newberry, in which lie advises against our tak ipg part in the Presidential cpn test. He says; "If we avoid any organization of Dnr people fur any political purpose whatever?if we refrain from an tagonizing the Republicans ot the State on party questions?11 avoid all irritating collisions with thf colored people and pursue a policy of conciliation?we may se cure such a participation in the af fairs of the Stato as will arrest her impending ruin. This course, to my mind, offers the only present prospect of relief. If this fail us, it will little matter what policy we pursue. I trust in God that our people will do nothing to hinder the possibility of any such move ment, however tempted by alluring hopes or just resentment. 4kIu view of the case which 1 have presented, we should take no part in the Presidential election. The dominant party would yield ? ~ mlin r?rir,r?an tlioir IlUlUllIg lij lUUOVy IHIV v^^.j. vv. ^ ~ party nominee for President. In yielding tb.is, vre in fact, yield noth ing but a sentiment, The nominee of the -Republican party will get the vote of South Carolina, wheth er we oppose him or no, and all the more certainly if, and because we do oppose him." But, as the Columbia Caaolinian re marks, it is not proposed to organ ize the Democratic party of the State, with a view to a Stato con test. "The sole object of sending delegates to that Convention is for the nuroose of impressing our views upon the National Democra cy. Unless the South be fully and resolutely represented in the Balti more Convention, we shall fail to exert that influence upon public af fairs to which we are entitled. The voice of a South Carolina Democrat, whilst impotent here, might be useful at Baltimore in giving direction to the action of the great National party.'1 Whilst the success of the Gree ley and Brown ticket depends upon the action of tho Baltimore Con vention, we cannot be indifferent to its action, nor wisely abstain from a proper representation in its deliberations. Between the two tickets the true men of the South cannot hesitate long, nor withhold their influence in a matter which so uearjy concerns their best inter ests. To reform our State Govern-, ment is the primary object with every good citizen, but our only hope is in the success of a Keforrn movomonf M'lii/'li u:?ll oinlirnpp hntll tho national and local govern ments, and which repudiates the BU worst features of the despotism which has been' used for the op pressiou-of the South, T1 ? ha .1 The Conventions.?The Tennessee of Democracy at tbeir recent Conven- a tion, declared pluraply in favor of cli Greeley and Brown, and th3 late Ro- th< Chester Convention, in New York, ifi endorsing the Cincinnati platform, re flects tho spirit of tho Democracy in Jo the Empiro State, and the probable In acceptance of Greeley and Brown by of the Baltimore Convention, ^ ' pic The Greenwood and Augusta )ad.?The meeting of the corpora l's of this Road will be held on Fri y next, tbo 24th inst., at Dorn's Mjne. A friend writes: "We thank 3*011 for your notieeg of r enterprise, and bpj>e you will con me to servo us in every available ixy. I think the success of the en rprise is an established fact. The ople along the route regard. its mpletion as indispensable to them, d arc resolved to supplement anj* ?-k of means by active labor, which after all, the only necessity for nney.

We have received a polito invita m to be present, and hope, if not ere in person, to bo lepresented on e occasion. Religious. ? Sacramental services :re held on Sunday last, at tho Up r Long Cane Church, under the nistration of the pastor, tho Rev. J. Lindsay.

We regret to announce the death of Mrs. D. E. Sondley, which occurred at her residence in this village on Monday afternoon, q.fter a long and painful ill ness. She was truly the child of afflic tion, and for several months past was confined to her bed, and during her last moments was unconscious. The deceased was the eldest daughter of the late Dr. Isaac Branch, a?d with a brother who still lives, was the survivor of a once happy and unbroken house hold. But death came, and in the short spacc of eighteen months, the sister, the, mother, and the father were successively eaueu away, ana now me uaugncer, leaving a family of dependent children. Truly the ways of Providence are in scrutable. Mrs. Sondley was long a consistent membpr of the Presbyterian Chuch, and was loved and respected by a large circle of friends. Her remains were interred yesterday at the Cemetery of the Upper Long Cane Church. *<?+ * ? Sale of Forfeited Laxds,?Ip pur suance of the late Act of the Legislature, and instructions from the State Auditor, the County Auditors throughout the State are advertising for sale, on saleday, the <>d of June next, "all property for feited to the State ou account of the non-payment of taxes for the years 18(38, lSG'J, and 1870; also all property delin quent for the year 1871, or for any pre vious year, which, through negligence or any other cause was not advertised and sold at the proper time. Also any property which lias been purchased by the State in past years and whose time for redemption lias expired. This sale is to be absolute; giving to the purchaser a title in fee simple with out any right of redemption -by the former owner." The list is a very formidable one in some of the counties. We will publish that for Abbeville in our next, and in the meantime, would urge upon delin quents. the necessity of proftpt payment. Governor Brown on tiie Situa tion.?The Governor has been inter viewed, and says: "I have not any moro doubt of the result of the approaching election than I havo that the election day will dawn I am si*ro that the ticket nominated yesterday will be elected." ' Th? nliifform is vvhollv satisfactory lo me, and I do not seo how any good citizen can object to it, whether ho bo in tho North or South, the East or West. There are factions which may affect to dislike it Many would have a stronger free trade plank, and many others, equally patriotic, would prefer a straight protection theory. All can not he satisfied The aim should bo to. satisfy tho greatest uumber." New Court House.?The attention of contractors is callcd to tho adver tisement by tho Board of County Commissioners, of the letting, on Sale Day next, of the contract fur build ing the new Court House.

That an honored citizen and respected instructor of youth, should have been exposed to such indignities, under such flimsy pretexts, is a disgrace to our civilization. ?<?? Rain*.?We were visited,"on Saturday last, with a refreshing rain, which re vived the gardens and fields in our vicinity. "We regret to learn, however, that it was only partial in extent, and that many sections of our District are still suffering. A dry, sultry wind during the past few days is very much against the growing vegetation. The grain crops are especially suffering. Bgju By rcfcrenco to a paragraph in another column, it will be seen that the Rev. "VYm. T.

He promises us A Club of subscribers, if suc cessful. The crying want of that section is mail facilities, and wo wish him abundant success.

The National Democratic Com mittee Interviewed.?The hiem bers of the National Democrati Committee were interviewed b enterprising reporters in New Yorl with respect to the Cincinnati no in: nations. Storey, of tho Chicag Times, hinted at a Democratic nom nation, hut. said he would stippor Greeley if tho convention indorse him. John G. Thompson, qf Oliir expressed the opinion that tho YVes would go for Greeley if the Baltimor p^nTTontinn indorsed him. Gov Bowie, of Maryland, thought Greek acceptable to the South, and partici larly his own State, on account of hi amnesty views. John Forsyth, < ihe Mobile Register, intimated tha the division in the Repui lican rank should bo taken advantage of, bti declined to commit himself until th action of the Philadelphia Conventio shall bo ma<ie known.
