The tljird Vice President John II. Morrah biing present j presided. Cnpt. J, >V. Itoojk, f offered the following preamble and resolutions: r Whereat, we deem it proper that we should 1: express our unalterable tldelity to the traditions and principles ol' the Democratic purty of South Carolina. An-l whereat, we think it absolutely neceRKary to the unification and solidification of s the blessing of irood government, that we Mlioulil clect to olflce none but- Democrats of the most pronounced and earnest convlc- E tions. 1 An>I whereas, wo cannot but consider It a ( departure from the cardinal doctrines of our party to support the claims of carpet baggeru for otHee: c There/ore, be it resolved, 1. That we do en- a .l.? nninlnntinil of (Soil.lRll SlinilH'l n McGowan for Chief Justice of South Carol 1- ? ua, and that in so doing we make only a ? slight acknowledgement of his patriotism, of the services he has rendered to his country, ? of his moral worth as a citizen and of his I ability iis s lawyer. t 2. That we are opposed to the election of .. Wlllard, because it would be in opposition to ' our policy of home rule, and local self gov- * ernmout, to ignore the claims of good and i true natlyo Democrats, and elevate to office t< an alien ltadical adventurer. ^ 3. That Senator Gary from Edgefield ?X' M pressed the sentiments of this club in his f speech in the Senate on the .'Id Instant, when " h i said, that \ve cannot atFord to "cringe and 81 "surrender principle, for any momentary pol- tJ "icy. It is doing that which has kept us un- ^ ' der the heel of Republican plunderers for "the last ten years." . 4. That we have perfect confidence in Governorilampton's integrity and patriotism and a; that these resolutions are not JntemJed to tJ impugn his motives in any way whatever, but that we deem it our duty, to express our tT earnest conviction, that it is incompatible '' with the principles of the Democratic pairy ei of South Carolina, and against the best in- o terest of the State to elevate Had! oals to offi- u cial posilons. n Ho supported his resolutions, and said: ii That while lie did not in any way in- ij tend to impugn the motives ofour'wor. si thy and patriotic Governor, yet he p thought that the reasons that had been ll assigned by tlio Gavernor for advocating o the clainufcof Willard to office were iusuf- l? ticient to eointuand the support of the o Detnoorats of South Carolina, If there s was any .political wisdom,, justice, mag- li nanhnity or consistency in Democrats a supporting pronounced Radicals for office, h under any circumstances, he was unable a to see* it. He hoped his resolutions p would be serivusly considered and tlior- p oughly ventilated by this club. <j ----- - S General; Jfcuowiin aiier a row ^ earnest, touching and patriotic romarks, a asked his friend as a personal favor, that ii the resolutions should be withdrawn, l} W. H, I'arker, E*q. ^ said in substance as follows. That years y of intimate association with General Ale- c Gowan had inspired him with feelings y of profound admiration and strong af- y fcction for him, and that he fully appro- i< ciated the noble qualities of Ijoad and 'I heart, and breadth of intclleet, which t' made him so beloved by the people of I si this county: that ho fully concurred in'G the spirit of the resolutions offered by the! tl gentlemen; that he eoijld not agree with ii the Executive that Willard had "saved a tlio Statethat it waa saved by the votes o cast by the people on 7th November last, ji and Willard by hisjudicial decision, only a d )dared the voice of the people as made h kaown by the election; nor could he'ej a^ree with thoso who advocated his elec-! I tion, because he had done his duty; thatjtl he thought there were life long Democrats .y natives of the Stato, quite as ablo lawyers as Judge Willard, who had more claims upon tiie party than ho had, for the exalt- J? ed i>ositioii "of C'liiof Justice; but that j while entertaining these views he felt constrained as an act of Justice to General McGowan to oppose the adoption of tho resolutions; that General McGowan was not in antagonism U> the administra- 8: turn but in full accord >vith it and sup- t! ported it; and that tho policy known as the "Hampton policy," had'been enter- |jl tained and publicly expressed by General i " McGowan before General Hampton's u. nomination; that, while ho could not con? j81 cur in the feeling that "opposition" to tno j P election of Willard was ''antagonism" to 01 Hampton's administration, hehadduring al a recent visit to Columbia ascertained 0 that, however distasteful to a large por- w tion of the Legislature was the election of P Willard, a considerable number of thojP members, perhaps the majority, were in-111 dined to yield to it as a neccwriti/ under 81 tho circumstances; and that in tins poli- u cv it was believed all the State olhcers! R1 concurred; that in the second place he,8 opposed the adoption of tho resolutions! because General AlcGowan nail placed] himself entirely in the hands of the clelo- c< pition from this county in Columbia, and h he was perfectly willing to abido by their o decision, whatever it might bo, having ,c< perfect confidence that his honor was hj safe in their hands-; and that we had 110 w definite information :iu to the line of C conduct proposed to be adopted by them, h O. T. Calhoun, Esq., || remarked as follows on the resolutions a offered by Capt. W. J. Rook: i tl Mr. President: I am sorry to seo this J11 opposition to Governor Hampton's policy, but at the same time it stings mo to the quick to think of having a carpetbagger as Chief Justice of South Caroli-, v na. A great many claim that Mr. Wii-|r lard is entitled to the position because he j d did his duty, in deciding the question of!r who was Governor. I admit that he did 11) do his duty, but this is tho day when; v men must hot expect to be rewarded for tj doing their duty, but tho day when moil in ollice must be forced to do their duty, I ask that the resolutions bo withdrawn, * \>ecause, I think that it would bo unwise ti at this time to opj>oi;o tho policy of Gov,! t< Hampton, and because it is the wish of|o General MeGowan that they should be! h withdrawn, and his reasons for wishing ! a them withdrawn must bo good, for hisjtl manner tells me that in wishing them j tl withdrawn he is not prompted by modes-jh tv alone. [s " We have trusted Governor Hampton j I< *o l'ar and ho liu# not led us astray, let us j u friiKt iiiux one step farther, and jf he ; 'I wishes it, let him make Willard Chief,1 Justice. I for one believe that his 1110 tives in wishing to do so aro pure, K 'General MoUowau here related hi* re- |j qnestwl that the resolutions bo with- ^ drawn, whereupon ('apt.

The distin- s. flushed Chairman of this body. Col. S1 Jothran was suddenly called to Colum- p )ia this morning on ollleial business, and (; )of<?re leaving had piacod in his hands rea- j, dutions to be submittod to this meeting. ie was in perfect accord with the tone ft ind spirit of the resolutions, and took ^ Pleasure in offering them. They were 8, esjd ;?jd discussed separately, and parsed is follows: Hp*olvc.d, 1. That n brave people are alway* jenerous anil thai, the dictate* of courage, a: niitfnaulniitv. enlightened policy and on- o' urged Kclfisbacfis all require that, to pro- a note the real and Justing prosperity of our f\ iconic, we should become as unified us possl- 1 ile; peace should reign supremo throughout ei ur borders; industry aim thrift should be Ui iromoted, andeueouraged, lawlessness of all ;lnds should be repressed and punished, and hat it should he the effort of all to make two ti ;rains of torn and two blades of fodder grow k-here ouly one grew before. ,J 2.

That moderation In success Is perhaps a b iigher quality than fortitude in derent.

That a copy of those resolutions be frr- tl rarded to General Hampton by the Seorota- , y that they be publlsluid in the Abbeville '* taper*. U Eugene 15, Gary, Esq., osc, and in a welNdolivepod speoob, ti ! -,! n ?H>Jwe, IK* 1UIWWO, 01 Mr. Chairman: I feel it Incumbent on ni nc to speak my convictions on the reso- ,r utions presentod. especially as I feel ? shail express the sentiment of the u lub I havo tho honor to represent, I P: ertainly favor so much of the resolutions s speaks of making two grains of corn UJ nd two blades of fodder grow whore one p ;rew, as I would favor any resoluion tending flbward the development and nrichnient of our impoverished State, n rat I cannot give my assent or approval s< o any set of resolutions that tends to do b, way with the Democratic party or t< peaks of a general political amnesty. s< ti?& nocewwry evil in all governments tl > have more than one political party, and ere we to unite the Democratic and Boublican parties others like tho Hydraeaded monster would develop in quick uocession. But I shall now proceed to jv liat portion of the resolutions which t mcti^ns the policy of the Chief Execuve of our State even in advocating and ar rying, by his influence, to elect to office th n alien adventurer> and that-ofiice too, p, ie hlghost judicial in the State. As to , lis policy 1 cannot too strongly express jy disapprobation. Why uhouid Gov- hi rhor Hampton try to raise to tho most us x;ilted iudicial otlice in the Statu such a ... uui as Willard, in preference to such a rnn us General McGowan, a native Caro- 01 nian whom we all admire for his ability tr itegrity and manliness ? The only roa- at :>ns which I think he oould with any ; JaysihUitv wsign are either, that Wilird sold out his party, to put in the Dem- M crate, or that he had acted uprightly in sj is trustworthy position. If Willard sold (j, ut his party to the Democrata, what asurance havo we that he would not do , ikewise with the pemocrats aa soon as . n opportunity presented itself? If he Y,1 as acted honestly ho certainly is reaping f sufficient reward to be continued in his resent j)osition. I cannot think that Re- h1 ublicanism has been so enhanced in-val-. e as that a scalawag of that persuasion hould be preferred to a native born Carlinian of the highest type of Intellect | nd moral worth. Our watchword dur- h' ng the last campaign was "Homo Rule," " nd 1 ask if you havo so soon forgotten a teachings." I am furthermore vitally y pposed to the eloction of Willard from j feeling of principle. Have we not sufti- r. ieut experienced defeat by trying to jj in by "policy." It seems to me that . re have worn the iron collar of Radical<m until it has eaten into our llesh? 'he only victory we havo gained in ivelve years was when we stood on tljo traightout platform. What right has Governor Hampton to favor or disfavor tie election of any otllcor by using his jn illuence for or against him ? In this intance I think Governor Hampton has i versteppert the boundary uno or nis ?? ower, and although I foci proud of him fo s Gouernor, and cast my maiden vote for .j, is election; still, as a freo citizen, I , com it my prerogative to criticize those have helped t<> put in power, even la hough it be tho Chief Executive of the tli Itatc. Messrs. G. C, Bradley and W. P. tli lrideman seomed to be the orators from 01 ?ong Cane. Upon tho resolution for a cli general amnestj'," jn Mr. G. C. Bradley ye that ho could not endorse tho rosoluons as they stood. That we had already tiown our magnanimity by reducing the pe umber of those proscribed, from one undred to twenty per oont,, and that * umber was being reduced continually, ^ imply with the asking. He said that tli roscription was the key which gave us j) ntranee idto the storehouse of success, ad that now we should keep the same Id key somewhat brightened up, or else 81 e would find ourselves overrun by our tb olitical plunderers. He would not suport the resolutions unless they were .. lodified, and urged his countrymen to and last upon the ground which they A ow occupied. Mr. Bradley is a g.nxi _p weaker and not at all backward about Hl ^pressing his convictions. Mr. W. P. Wideman, incurred with the viewg exprosaod by is friend and urged tho necessity f still standing where wo are; that we juld not atford to be too magnanimous, rc s we were not entiroly "out of the oods that in the edict of Rome, that f0 arthace should perish we could learn a at ?sson T that whilst we would not use rj arsh measures, we must not hide tho iron hand in the silken glovewe must n: dhero to the plan of proscription, al- te liough it may be a bitter pill for us, we iu?t swallow it, even if it sickens us at S1 lie stomach. Dr. Boozer, of Greenwood. ft c< ,-as very decldod in his opposition to tho si esolutiun; and thought they did not in- is icato tho true policy of our people, or ei eprcsent tho wishes of those for whom w e spoke in this meeting, lie concluded o1 ,'ith, "I shall uot vote for the resolu- tl ion." Dr. J. D. Neel, of Long Cane, j' njd ho was not in favor of the rosolu- la ions, because ho did not propose to ex- ex and any amnesty to tho white Radicals w f Abbeville county, and that they must pi e driven out, and ho would be one of si ny numbor to take their heads off; to tiore was now no use in talking about id lio matler any longer ; they must go? di e'd be durn'd If they mustn't go; they hould be allowed a yoar in which to w >ave the county. We show our magna- li< imity by allowing tho Gufflns and tho tt 'olborts to ltve here, tl; lr, C. A. C, Waller, of Greenwood, 41 nid that all tho genjlemon of tho Conven- st ion knew his Idea concerning proscripon; believod In proscription and presrlptlon; we must proscribe some, and 0I, rescribo remedies for others which are v' i?t as effective { both remedies had been bi -ied in Greenwood, and both bad worked ell. He was not so much In favor of G< roscriblng the colored people as he was P1 10 white Radicals. He was ready to say 1,1 men to any action in reference to them le said "moral suasion" proved mori jccessful in Greenwood than prosvrip on. They convinced tlieui arid carricc join.

Dr. Ilawthorue is i 2odv speaker and talks with all hi; light when lie knows he it right. Cnpt. J. W. Perrin *jd he supposed his conservatism on thi ubject of proscription during the cam aign was well known to the Centra lub, but his conservatism did not curri ini to the extent of suppprting the reso jtion as it stood. If it could be quail ed or amended so as to invoke amnesty )wards the colored Republicans he conli ustain it, but the white Republicans ever. L. W. Perrin, Esq., fter a very general discussion of the res lution of "political amnesty," sug osted that in oader to meet the views o le club, tho resolution should be am&nd [I. by striking out the words "genera innnotr" (mil nt?fl "noliti(<J*! It was plainly to be seen that the rosolu on would not pa^p as it then stood, an< eneral McGowan at once accepted Mr errin's amendment. Mr, Bradley thei loved that tho resolution he adopted he ayes and naves were then called for hen tlio Chairman announced that tin ^solution had been adopted, though i as by an exceedingly clo^e vote. Gen. McGowan then read the fifth res lutton and asked that it bo posset y a riHjng vote. A. L. McCaslun, Ks(j. bjected. lie thought God Almighty ad nothing to do with it, The resoition was passed. The resolutions as i hole were supported by General Me owan several timos during the "discus on, lie fought them through and w< ro of opinion that wiihout his effort: ley would not have passed. The meet ig seemed to prefer resolutions leas for iviug and less conciliator}', but they ao jptod them principally from their re ard and respect for General McGowan ho advocated them. S. C. Cason, Esq., ?en asked permission to offer the follow ig preamble and {resolution which wen nanimouslv adopted : Whereas, this convention having yleldc< s preference In the election of a Chief Jus ce of the Supreme Court to that of the Ad llnistration and acquiesced In the action 01 ur Representatives in wlthdnuvino: tin amc of General McGowan for the position Thrre/orn be itrrKolved, that It Is the unant nous opinion of tills convention tiiat n< tore (It and proper person could bo electec ) the position of Associate Justioo of the Nu remo Court, than Gen.

Suggestion to the Cotton Planter! of the South. The prospoct of a general war in En >pe is becoming a serious matter to th< >tton planting interests of the South, r, although a great deal is said about th< lvantagcs which are to accrue to the ag cultural and mechanical industries o le country from the war, all ol' whicl my be true of the Northern and Wes rn States, nothing but disaster and l<?s: in store for the cotton growing State: lould tho war becomo general, Fortunately, however, it is not too lato >r the planters in the South to pursue ? >urso which will place them in a safe po tion in any evuit. At this time eottoi selling in New York for future deliv y during tho Fall months at price: hich will not net the planters at lxoint per eight cents per pound for their crop; trough. With this state of affairs in view, does not behoove the planters of the Soutl > change their tactics, and devote j ,rge portion of the laud prepared foi >tton to corn and other grains. I ould, wo beliove, pay them better t< low up the cotlou already planted, ant ibatitule cereals, for they can buy cot in in New York now, for Fall delivery luch cheaper than they can possibly pro uce it. Should the great Powers in Europo be^ >mo involved in a long war, as many be eve they undoubtedly will, they coulc ten procure a cheaper crop of cotton tan they could raise; and at the sairn me secure war prices for their grains. Tho recent heavy advances in breadutfs and provisions clearly indicate thai t case of a general war the money crop? ' this portion of the country, for a yoiti two at least, will be grain and prosions, and cotton will have to take ti ick seat. Wo have previously suggested that tlu overnors of tho Southern States issut oclamations calling upon the people tc ako their plantations self-sustaining, . and we nrc pleased to sec the Commis-11 3 sioncr of Agriculture of the State of c -' Georgia lias issued a circular to the plant11 ters of that State warning them of the ( 1 threatened danger, and urging them to ] tj make "largely ot food crops.?JS'orfork 1 i Landmark. The War, In oil the discussions about the contest t - between Russia and Turkey wo must j - take into account the peculiar position . < s that the quasi-independent.State of Rou-ji i mania (which is for the present the seat i of war) bears to the two governments, lioumania is composed of the Principalities of Moldavia, Walaehia and part of Bessarabia?all on the north side of thojl a Danube?Moldavia and Bessarabia border j * , on Russia, and Walaehia is contiguous to' < ] Austria. Although these consolidated 1 ; Principalities are considered a part of the . Ottoman ljhupire, they yiohl only a sort i . of qualified allegiance to the" Govern- i fjmcnl of the Sublime Porte. They pay 1 1 taxes to the Sultan's collectors, but they ( hayc a Parliament of their own and a lie- i ' reditarv Prince Regent, who is called a < "domnitor."' Roumania maintains that I the tribute which it pays to Turkey is in - consideration of an obligation assumed ] - by Turkey to defend these Principalities , * * - ? ? 5" tt/uwlW.. tA mv thflt I | J run 1 1X1 > (iniUilt XV to ??\;V14AV0O vw Wy u.MV ( - J tho Government of tlie Sublime Porto | 1 repudiates this doctrine of qualified alio- | ' J giance, and claims the l ight to exercise , full sovereignty over Roumania, subject ' to certain concessions and limitations 1 embodied in the treaties which have heen ' . from time to time, imposed upon Turkey ' i by the other European Powers. Roumania has a population of nearly I * five millions. With the exception of a 1 ? quarter of a million of Jews, titty thou- ' j sand Catholics and thirty thousand Prot testants, all the inhabitants belong to the 1 established Church (theorthodox Greek.) I Except in the Province of Bessarabia, I . which was coded by Russia to Roumania < I in LS.")(J, tho majority of the people are not i of Russian descent, but they are cssen- i tjally Russian in feeling, and loan upon r the Czar for protection. They pay tribute j . to the Sultan, but they arc at heart hos- i tile to him, and the Islam religion is j 1 scarcely tolerated. There are oil/l,oOJ j - Mohammedans in tho whole three Prin- ] . cipnlitios, and according to common ru,, nior both the Mohammedans and tho ( " Jews are roughly treated, bordering on i Roumania, on the south side of the Dan- j - ube, is the Turkish Province of liulga- ( . ria. The inhabitants aro substantially of j the same stock as tho Roumanians, and " the orthodox Greek is tho established - Church; at least it is the hereditary 1 Church,, to which the whole population ' ' was atui-hed when tho Turks conquered 1 the Province in the fourteenth century. < Since then there has been a perpetual 1 struggle between the Mohammedan and " the Christian, which at intervals has eul- 1 3 minated in atrocities which have tilled 1 the whole Christian world with horror, i ? In tho other Provinces of Turkey, bor. dering on Roumania, the same'contest - litis been maintained. If it had not been ] t for tho overshadowing power of Russia , ; the Christians would long since have , been driven from Turkey. Tho gicat . i European Powers have, from timo to 1 time, imposed treaties upon the Govern- , - nient of the Porte, in which protection to 1 its Christian subjects was guaranteed; [ but it was much easier for the Sultan to s make these concessions on paper than to ' carry them into effect. Treaties, proclamations and laws are of small account unless sustained l>v popular sentiment. ' 1 The ferocity and fanaticism of the aver- ] i n^o Turk cannot be restrained by any * thing less potent than the presence of su- ' " perior force. L In 1ST?4 Russia declared war against < Turkey because she refused to protect tho < adherents of the Greek Church in the 1 northern principalities from persecution. ; England and France assuming that this " was only a pretext, and tho Czar's real i Il,? ,?,n/,nnuf nf M'tirkni' 1 r [lUIUIiWi ?i?o l.l?> w. ( r made common causo against lum. Russia i gained no territory by this war, but in the , * treaty of peace Turkey was compelled to 1 ' make more concessions than Russia origi1 nally demanded. Throwing State reasons ' t aside, the Christian people of Europe and 1 J especially the Protestants, have sympa- ' f I thized with Russia in her attempt ti> cum- 1 3 pel religious toleration in Turkey. The .! diplomatists may think that Russia has ! _! no business to be interfering in the do- I " i mestie concerns of Turkey, but the peo- < '; plo whom they represent are decidedly in i i favor of such active interference as will j i put an end to these atrocities, and it the \ j Mohammedan power happen to perish in 1 j the struggle, so much the better. . It is a somewhat rcinarkablo fact, how; I ever, that although Russia is ready to * j send a million of moil into Turkey to eni force religious toleration, she is not dis' j tinguished for the liberality with whieli ' Ijshe treats Protestants, Catholics and ' I Jews in her own dominions. There is J j not much toleration in Russia for anv- ' "jbody that does not belong to the Estab- < ^ I lished Church.
