The Democratic party of South
Jaroliua, in Convention assembled,
inuotiueo Llie following as its platlonn
)1 principles:
"Wu declare our acceptance in perfect
good faith ot the Thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth Ainendinents
,o the federal Constitution; accepting
nul standing upon them, we turn from
die settled and final past to the great
iving and momentous issues of the
present and the future.
We adopt the platform of principles
mnounccd by the National Democratic
parly recently assembled at St. Louis,
ind pledge ourselves to a full and
liearty eo operation in securing the
^Section ol its distinguished nominees,
Samuel J, Tildon, ot New York, ami
rhomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, and
believe that under the wise and just
tdministration of its distinguished roiortn
leader, assisted by tlio eminently
patriotic and able counsellors by whom
ho will bo surrounded, peace ami prosperity
will again bless our country,
mill the dissensions, confusion and
maladministration of tiio past eight
years will give place to concord, good
government, and a thorough restoration
ol the Union. In accordance with the
declarations ol that platform, and the
utterances and acts ol our distinguished
leader, we demand a genuine and
thorough reform in the State ot South
Carolina, and call upon all ol its citizens,
irrespective ot race, color or previous
condition, to rally with us to its
redemption, for it is evident that substantial
and lasting reform is impossible
within the ranks of the ltcpubli
can narly of thin State,
We charge that parly with arraying
race against race, creating disturbances,
and fomenting difficulties;
with prostituting the election franchise,
tampering with the ballot-box, and
'holding unfair and fraudulent elections;
with having accumulated an
enormous debt, mismanaged the
finances, and injured iho credit, ol tho
State; with levying exorbitant taxes
and squandering them when collected,

We charge its legislation as dcmoral- i
i/.ing, parti/.an, and disgraceful, ami
the venality ami corruption which j
have characterized every branch ol the
government, executive, legislative anil
judicial, have ?:o parallel in the history :
ot nations, li lias created a inultiplr
city of unnecessary and useless olliees, j
complicated in their system, and mi- !
necessarily expensive. It has attempted
to eh'vate to the bench two 1
most corrupt and degraded men. I' j
can never purify itself, give good and
impartial government, or by its moral
foieo and eharcler, exercise in its lull
sovereignly the law o( the land. We
do not charge this condition ol things,
which every patriot most deeply deplores,
upon the masses of the party, !
tint upon their leaders, who have made (
such talal use ol their confidence and
trust; lor it is our linn conviction that
all the good people of the .Stale, of
both races, desire peace and prosperity.
We, therefore, call upon all of our
lellow-citi/.mis, irrespective ol race or
past party alliliation, to join with us
in restoring the good name ol their
State, and lo again elevate it to a
placo of dignity and character among
the commonwealths of litis great
country. We discountenance all disturbances
ol the peace of the Slate,
and denounce all instigators and piomotors
thereof, and earnestly call ,
upon all ol our fellow oiti/.ens, irresoeeti

il the govern men l ol tlio Stale is committed

to protect the persons, lights
and propet ty of all its people, and to
speedily bring to summary justice any
one who dares violate them.
We desire a lair, peaceable, election,
appealing to the rearon and not the
passions ol the people, and demand of
the Republican parly a fair showing
in the nppointnienl ol commissioners
of election. We demand a lair election
and a lair count. We call upon
all ol Ibc patriotic sous ol Carolina to
join us. Wo ask but a trial of committing
the Slate to our keeping, and
if good government, security protection
and prosperity do not dawn in
our over taxed, despoiled, and disheartened
people, then drive lis Iroiu power,
with scorn and indignation. Our
object is reform, rctrciehmciit, and
relief, that by honesty and economy
we may reduce the taxes, and lighten
the burthens of the people; giving at
the same time absolute security and
protection to the rights and property
ol all. Upon this paramount issue we

Mr. 1*resident <i>ul Members of lite

In accepting the honorable position

In the better days of our country,

much more highly should I esteem the

that our syinpuhies and our

yourselves lirnily on that, you

in which you will not only share,

adopted here is so catholic in its spirit,
so strong in its foundations, and so
broad in its construction, that every

desires relorm can liud room to stand
upon it.
Willi such a platform, where our

A new method of gold-digging has
been invented by nunc geniuses 01 this
city, who evidently have a taste lor
the iin tal, Imt don't care to grub
around to?- it among dirt and rocks of
the Western mines, under the additional
disadvantage ol being liable at
any mouieiit to he "snatched baldheaded"
by those uneasy ahoiigines
who are making the lilack Hills too
hot lor comfort. The new plan is to
take a twenty dollar gold piece and
lion? :i hole lliroiurh tin dimnet ei
iron: edge to edge as largo as may be
without. distuibiug tho suiiaco ol the
ooin. From this main shaft tunnels
are bored out 10 every direction till
the piece which looks all right, oxcepting
the lii lie hole on one edge, is really
honeycombed. Having worked the
"lead" to its utmost capacity the operator
plugs the holes with some heavy
wire to restore the piece to standard
weight, carclully restores the milled
surlaco over the hole in the edge and
repeats iho operation on another
piece.
The advantages of this system ot
mining are too manifest to admit of
argument. Instead ot a life ol severe
toil, pri\atioo and exposure in constant
peril from man, beast or disease
and often with scanty and uncertain
reward, our inventive) geniuses have
mi Instituted ease, comfort and certain
profit. Who wouldn't dig for tho
shining metal when it can he done in
dressing gown and slippers, and in the
hosoui ol ones family? What hotter
paying employment could a man ask
ili.iu oho which pays him ? to $40
per day without cither requiring a
large investment on his part or injuring
his consiiiuiion by overwork? I
gieally regret my inability to lurtush
tiie names ol the authors of these Improvements
in .Mining, for beside being
ot considerable interest to your
readers as a matter ol curiosity, it
would greatly oblige our sub-Treasury
