The object of that convention .is to consider the propriety pf sending delegates to tbe Baltjrpore Convention, "vyhieh paeets Dn t^e 9th July; and wbateyer dif ference of opinion r$ay exist aa to the pourge to be punned in Columbia, we suppose that nonp pan exist as to the propriety, of Ajj^eyilJe being repre sented in the convention .to ba beld, Kv n. full, strong delegation. r J *?

Porter. !l The Hon. W. D. Sorter, of Charles- ti ton, has written an able and well considered letter to Col. Simeon Fair of Newberry, in which ho sustains thp policy of sending delegates to the Baltimore Convention, with instruc tions to oppose the n o 91 i patio q of a Democratic candidate. The fact that a~ c : 11 mah our sisiur ouuiHeru otiii.ua \>m uo itj/ resented, he thinks, one of the strong, est reasons why we should participate in their counsels, aud add our influence to their deliberations,' Our interests arc in common, and we should con sult, and act together. Besides, our Stato \rill be represented?if not by a regular, by an irregular delegation? and it is better to have a delegation of good, strong, reliable men, property 1 tkftn artmn onlf.onnetitn Ofl ' U jJJJU ill J lliftU UVUIV DVIA-VWUWV*VWVVM appointees, who may aspire to reflect the public sentiment of South Caro lina. The public sentiment of {.he South erq Conservatives, he thinks, is nearly Unanimous, not only that a change of administration is ncce.ssary, but that [ to cfifcct this, the Baltimore Conven tion must forego a separato nomina J tion, and as tjie best means of securing this end, ho thinks, that the Stato sfypuld be represented. .. He thus concludes: "A word or two as to State politics. Our friends, Judge Aldrich and gen eral Kershaw, (than whose opinions none are more to be respected,) seem to think that by sending delegates to Baltimore we shall antagonize the Jlopubljcans w}iQ inay be disposed to go with us fop an hopt-st local govern ment. I cannot see the logjc pf this The plundering wing oi tlje jxepuun ean' party may be antagonized, but how can the conservative Republi cans? We go to Baltimore not to prppose, but to oppose a Democratic candidate. Wo go to accept a libei al Republican platform and a liberal Re publican candidate. IIow can Repub licans reasonably copiplaip that we light uncjer ope pf tfyeir flags an(J for one of their leaders? The truth is, there can and will be no Presidential canvass in this State, unless eonscrva tivp Republicans initiate^he movement in sufficient number!# to give a reason able prospect of success, fa thatj event, what pther or more s^cceptaple. candidate could they find than Hor ace Greeley, who h;w been thejr con sistent and life-long friencf, and who was the advocate,.of their cause long before General ,Grant had emerged from obscurity. If they really jyanl reform and honest adminiskration, both in local and national government, the way to accomplish "both is so plain that qp!y wjjful blin.dness c?n fail to see it. if tliey cannot sec that. they will nott, pec anything in our behalf. In fact, our adoption of the Cincinnati ptytforrp and noipiqpeg is an invitation and an opportunity to them to secure their own professed objects, under a leader from theif p\vn camp. What more could they ask? My counsel, then, would bo to send delegates to Paltirnore with jnst^uc tions to oppose a Democratic nomina tion, to ratify the Cincinnati declara tion of principles, and to recommend to tho cordjai ancj independent sup of ail Democrats t.h,o no/ninoeg ,of the Cincinnati Conyentjon/'.

The United Brethren. l .. jW i ' '51 The Anderson Intelligencer publishes a letter from Mr. "Warren D. Wilkes, of that county, explaining and defend ing his connection with that organi- ; zation. 1 In answer to his Matqmenf, that the object of the Order is to purify the party, tne Intelligencer well says: "Through the agency of an organi zation concocted by the very class of Republicans who are responsible for the past management of public affairs, It is now proposed to purify the Radi cal ranks, and qet up tho standard of "Capacity, honesty and reliability," as a test ol fitness for position. There can bo no objection to the accomplish ment of this purpose, as all classes of our citizens woujd materially profit by such a result. But wo differ very Widely with Mr. Wilkes, who seems to believe that the "United Brethren" will give direction to the power of the Radical party in consummating these desirable objects. Wo are ficqily convinced thut the Brotherhood will be used, not only to continuo in power like offioiuls to thoso now ruling the State, but to bolster up and defend past corrupt practices, thereby per petuating the evils so justly censured by enlightened public opinion. When reforms begin through the agency of the Brotherhood, wo will cheerfully accord full credit to that organization; but until practical demonstration ig made pf their intentions, and professed faith is supplemented Ly actual works, we shall remain among that incredu lons portion of the commenwealth who do not believe that secret political organizations are productive of good -much less the ''united Brethren," which is so muoh doubted by unflinch ing Kepublicans of faithful record, to our certain knowledge.
