Central Democratic Committco pub
ii'aKoH in nnr Inst leading citizens of
ftowvv* y - - , w
our pounty hsve deemed it advisable
to b^ve a meeting of Our people, on
fSaleday ne?t, {p appoint delegates to
the Cplprabi^ Convention, to be held
pn the lith of June. 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

It seeing to be generally cpnceded
that it js not the desigq pf the Co
lombia ponyention to inaqgurate a
Democratic canvas^ in the State, and
too, that such acqursc would be yory
Unwise and impolitic. But as to the
propriety of being represented, in
Baltimore/' there seems \o. be very
^eaf; difftaenp a 9f opiniqn.
Our object h to prevent a separate
nomination <fit Baltimore, and the
pole object of uending delegates is to
pfj&ct that eqd. If we fail it matters
Fejry little, whether we are bound or
not by the action of the Convention.

J)emocratic party in tb'e State seems
to be at bes? in a condition .of sus

good counsel, and nothing more. We
perhaps can contribute that, and if

The Baltimore Convention-Letter of d
Hon. W. D. 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

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 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.
