Darlington District-Heury L. Morris. Edgefie:.'. District-James J. Gresg.- " Georgetown District-Richar?! Dozier, I S. Parker, R. J. Middleton, Jr., Samuel San soo and A. M.. Forster. The Committee of Conference appointe th* preceding day made the following repor through its Chairman > The Committee of Conferenco with th Central Executive Committee of the Couver tion of April last, beg leave to report : That io the discharge of their duty, the met that Committee in free conference, an after an uurescryed interchange of views, i which it becarae. manifest that each Commii tee was unanimous iu an earnest desire t harmonize and unite in a common pnrposi that Committee submitted the following prc position, namely : " The Central Execotiv Committee having been invited to a confei .* eoce by the Convention now assembled here and being most solicitous to secure harmon; in the State, beg leave to submit to the Con ference Committee now in session the follow jog basis ol union, namely : That the Con vention proceed to the nomination of dele gates to the National Democratic Conventioi nt New York, to fill up the delegation of tb Slate. And the Executive Committee plcdgi themselves to use all their efforts-- to havi these nominations confirmed by all the organ izations represented by the said Commit! ee The Executive Committee further recom mend, that au Executive Committee be ap pointed by this Convention, to act with tba selected by the Convention in April last ; and that, iu the opinion of this Committee of Con ference, it is advisable that the two Executivt . Committees should be consolidated at thc earliest moment posible." Your Committee think that no stronger ev idence could have been offered of a spirit oi conciliation and harmony than this proposi lion presents. It offers to this Convention one-half the appointments to the New York Convention-the other one-half of them only having been made by thc Convention of April last. This Committee thinks it unbecoming in this Convention to revise thc appointment for one of the Congressional Districts of the State, namely, the Fourth, that District not being represented in luis Convention. Wc there fore recommend that thc appointments from that District be declined, aud, with this ex ception, tho proposition be accepted. Dele gates at large having beeu already appointed o? residents of the First aud Fourth District, we recommend that, in appointing the lemain in# two delegates and alternates, residents of thc Second and Third Districts, respective ly, be selected, aud that this Couveatioo ap point one delegate and two alternates from thc Second District, and one delegate and one alternate from the First and Third Districts, respectively. We also jecQmmend tho appoinlmeut of an Executive Committee, to consist of seven, and that, as suggested, thc two committees shall be consolidated at the earliest moment posai ble ; also, that the Executive Committee., ap pointed by us be authorized to lill any vacan cies in the appointments made by a?. JAMES B. CAMPBELL, Chairman. The report was unanimously adopted. The same Committee also submitted the following us a supplementary report, and ask ed its reference to ? Committee on Resolu tions, to be appointed hereafter ; which was agreed to : Resolved, That the Democratic party of this State duly appreciates aud accepts the invitation irom the Executive Committee of the Democratic party of thc United States, to send delegates to the general Convention to be held in New York, on the 4th day of July next, to nominate candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency of the United States but, inasmuch as tho military despotism un der which South . Carolina labor* will render it impossible for the white Face to cast the vote ot the StaU;, at toe rext Presidential election, it is recoiumcuded to the delegates appointed from this Sute to ask thc counsel of their brethren from other States as to the propriety of their voting in the Convention, and to govern themselves accordingly. I {Resolved, That having entire confidence in the principles and patriotism of the Demo erat;;; party, aud believing and trusting to their attiraucfs that they will, if triomphant, restore and maintain at the South, as they have done iu Ot& North, iu the East and in the West, the supremacy and government of che white race-A WHIT A* MAN'S GOVERNMENT -leaving to the Sutes themselves to regulate their suffrage laws ; and also thai they will expunge the usurpations and the fraudulent governments created by the military power, under what are called thereconstroction laws, and thereby restore to the L'nion the South ern States, such HS they were before the en actment of said law?-we hereby pledge our selves to thc support of the Candidates ofthat carty for President and Vice-PrC^meot o? the ..United States, to be nominated at the com ing Coleen tion in the city of Nev York, on j fie 4th ia/^ Joly next. On motion,"the Executive Committee, elec ted by the Democratic Convention held in April last, were invited to seats on the floor of the Convention. Gen. M. W. Gary offered the following res olution, which was referred to the Committee on Resolutions : . Resolved, That all questions relating to suffrage shall bO'oonsidered as in abeyance, to be at some foturjeTVime discussed and deter mined, upon in -fall convention of tbe JDemo craticparty pf this State. .Airt'Davis offered the following rescf?tiom; which waaadopted : Resoicc?\ii?hsit a Committeeon Resolutions, consisting of one member from each District iepresented in the Con veu lio , be app >inted, to whom u'l resolutions, uot ordered for im mediate consideration, be referred. Under the resolution, tho Chair appointed Messrs. Rhett, Dozier, Green, Epps, Spain, Goodwyn, Gregg]. Vennirtg, Mciver and Gal lncbat. Mr. Yenning offeced ;.he following resolution which was referred to the Committee-on Res olutions : Resolved. That the discrimination attempt ed by the radical Convention at Chicago, be tween the right of th.'* people North and South to regulate suffrage among themselves, is an insidious attack upon the exercise of ihp right everywhere ; and if by ungenerous and artful appeals to passious, excited by causes which no longer exist, universal negro suff'-age be forced, upon the South, a cardinal princi ple for the protection of the rights and liber ties of lite people of each State will be de stroyed, and an immense stride in the estab lishment of a central despotism accomplished. Mr. Cohen moved tbat a Committee of One from District represented in the Convention be appointed to nominate delegates to the National Democratic Convention tobe holden in New York on the -Uh day of July next.. Adopted. Mr. Hanckell offered the following resolu tion, which was referred to the Committee on Resolutions : Rejoiced, That, not representing any recog nized vet? iu the Electoral College, it is the deliberate sense, of this Convention, with the present lights before it, that our delegates to that Convention should not vote in the choice of candidates, but having' full confidence in their prudence, patriotism, aud judgment, this Convention leaves them untrammelled by in struclions. Mr. Rhett offered the following r?solutions, which were referred to the Committee ou Resolutions : 1. Resolved, That there can bo no tree gov ernment and uo liberty to a people without fixed fundamental Jaw?, which the inti rest and passions of trausiont rulers cannot over throw ; and when administrators (as the ma jority in Congress,) seek to overthrow them, they are usurpers and revolutionists-trai tors to the Constitution and enemies alike to the people they assume to represent, and to free government in the world. 2. Resolved, That when the late struggle for independence ceased, South Carolina was prepared in good faith to resume her position as one cf the States in the Union of the Uni ted States, and, when rejected from thia posi tion, to which she was invited, and a military despotism was put over ber, she attributed it rather to the policy of a party using the un subdued passious of war than to the sober convictions of justice and statesmanship; and, whilst Buffering with some dejrree of fortitude the tyranny put over her, ?he looks to the people of the North to redeem the pledges which brought the war to an end, and to re store the Union in its reaiity, equity and peace. .'1. Resolved^ That the United States is a Constitutional Government and a white man's Government; and that, by the decision of the Supreme Court of ibo United States, lt is de termined that South Carolina isa State within the Union and under the Constitution ; and that the attempt of a party to control the elective franchise within State limits through the peiieial Government with the design of manufacturing political power by liltiug to supremacy over the white population the in terior black race lately slaves, and thus to make thc State a prey to anarchy and strife, and forever incapable of enjoying the privi leges and blessings of free government, is a revolutionary and destructive outrage, at war with the prosperity and peace of the. whole country. 4. Resolved, That the Democratic party has ever been the party of the Constitution recognizing its limitations in the powers con-' ferred on the general Government, and ob serving tho independence md sovereignty of the States in their reserved powers, upon which alone, as a system, rests the nnion, the peace and the liberties of the people of the United States. 5. Resolved, That it in with great gratifi cation we have witnessed the course of the Democratic party of the North, in their oppo sition to the despotism put over the South-a despotism as inconsistent with thc Constilu tion aud free government in the country as it is faithless to the plain and explicit pledges of Congress and of the Government of the United States voluntarily put forth to the Southern States as the terms of re-union and peace. q. Resolved, That in tho opinion of this Convention, the next Presidential election is the most important which has taken place since the organization of the Government, because it will determine whether Ire? gov ernment or despotism, liberty or tyranny, is to prevail over the people of the United ?tales ; and although the white race of South Carolina, under the bayonet aud negro domi naci?n, is powerless to influence this great is sue, their devout hopes and aspiration?, and their profoundest sympathies are with the ef forts of the Democrats of the ? J. th to save the country. On motion, a committee was appointed to nominate additional members ot the Demo cratic State Central Committee The Convention then took a recess until 7 o'clock P. M. EVENING 8E8SI0X. The Convention met at 8 o'clock p. m. The Committee on Nominations for dele gates to thc National Democratic Convention, made the following report, which was unani mously adopted : For the State ai, large-Hon. Wade Hamp ton. Hon. J. B. Campbell ; alternates, Hon. C. M. Purni ari, Hon. J. P. Carroll. First District-Hon. A. L. Manning ; alter nate, Hon. R? Dozier. Second District-Hon. C. II. Simouton ; alternates, John nauckel. Esq., R. B. Rhett, ?fr., Esq. . Third District-Gen. M. W. Gary : alter nate, Hon. A. D. Frederick. The Committee made no nomination from Ihe Fourth District, as no delegate from that District was preheat in the Convention. The Committee on Resolutions reported that while they concurred in the views ex pressed in the several-resolutions before them they deemed it advisable for the Convention to confine its expression to the resolution re commended by the Committee, thinking it sufficient lo t-tand on the platform of a white mao's government, leaviug the qr.astion of suffrage to the decision of the States, and the question of voting at the New York Conten tion to the discretion of thc delegates. They therefore recommended the adoption of the supplementary report of the Conference Com mittee. The*-eport was adopted unanimously. The Committee appointed to nominate ad ditional members of the State Central Exec utive Committee, recommended the names of Hon. W. I). Porter, T. G. Barker, Esq., John E. Carew. Esq , Robert Adger, Esq., Henry Mciver, Esq., W. P. Finley, Esq., and A. A. Gilbert, Esq. The report was adopted. Colonel John E. Carew, of Charleston, with a fe?<*!?loquent and appropriate prefatory ro marks, offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That this Convention recognizes in the course pursued since the assembling of this body, by the Central Committee ap pointed by the Convention in April last, a spirit of concession and harmony that enti ties them to the confidence and support of the people of this State, and that it regards the measures proposed and adopted as calcu lated to ensure that concert of action so necessary to the puccess of the Democratic party i u this State. ' After the passage of complimentary resolu tions to Hon.-Charles H. Simonton, President, and Henry Sparrri?k and A. A. Gilbert", Esq rs.', Secretaries of the Convention, General Hamp- j ton, ?rho waa an intercHted spectator, ?nd had 1 been invited as a member of tbe Central State Executive Committee to a seat on the floor, was vociferously called upon and re sponded in a brief trad eloquent speech, thanking the Convention for the honor done the Executive Committee and himself, and cordially endorsing the action of the Con vention. After which, on motion, the Convention ad- ? journed, sine die. TE E ADVERTISER, JAMES T. BACON, EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1868. Bishop P?rsico on Sunday Next.

The Democratic Convention which sat lately in Columbi i, met on Monday evening the 8th inst, and adjourned on the following Tuesday evening. Ten Districts were represented. In another column will he found an account of tho proceedings of this Convention. Our disiinguished townsman, Gen.M. W.GAar, who moved, at this place, the original Resolution whieh resulted in the assembling of thia Conven tion, bas been appointed a Delegate tc represent the 3rd District in the Democratic Convention . soon to Rsserablii in New York. We know well that all Edgefield will join us in hearty approval and endorsement of this action. The Radicals Triumphant in Edgefield District. We arc less fortunato than our friends in many of the Districts above us ; for while they have 1 been able to elect Democrats to their District offices, we have not coped successfully with the number.? and machinations of Radicalism. We aro indebted to Lieut. P. N. IIAKKIN, Post Ad jutant at Aiken for the following summary of the result of the recent Election in Edgefield District, from which our peoplo can learn tho names of thoir now District Officers : Judye, of Probate Court. D. L. Turner-Republican, 2473 W. F. Durisoe-Democrat, 1520 Clerk nf Court. Andrew Ramsay-Republican, 2473 Z. W. Carwile-Democrat, 1521 Sheriff. John McDevitt-Republican, 2473 L. Yancy Dean-Democrat, 1476 Nat. Ramey-Independent, 52 Coroner. Poler McCue-Republican, 23C4 W. H. Moss-Democrat, 1520 County Commi**ianert. Frank Arnim-Republican, 2459 Jos. J. Kennedy-Rep. 2453 Samuel J. Leo-Rep. 2457 G. J. Sheppard-Democrat, 1510 Benjamin Bettis-Dem. 1513 George D. Huiett-Dem. 1517 School Co}iiiH?*K?aner. Edmund Wadley-Repuhlican, 2470 L. R. Owaltney,-Democrat, 1519 One of these, tho Judge of Probate Court, we ara informed upon reliable authority, does not re side in Edgefield District, butin Barnwell, IL' > or two beyond the Edgefield line. If this be t., tho matter ought certainly to bo investigated. The right policy now is not to yield ono inch fur ther to tyranny and usurpation than the bayonet actually drives us. Of these newly-elected offi cers, we hiivo only to say that they aro not the choice of cither the white or black peoplo of Edge field District, but the choice of unscrupulous Radicalism. The negroes undoubtedly voted for them, but bliudly, ignorantly, and at the bidding of the tools of Radicalism. And we havo no hesitation in saying that it is the fault of tho white people of the District that these myrmidons of Radicalism havo been al lowed to carry the day, and that the result is as we give it above. This is a disastrous and morti fying fact to record, but it is nevertheless true. Whca will our peoplo learn to give up the now fatal and mistaken policy of remaining away from the.polls ? Ccrtaiply the weaker porty never gains strength by. supineness and difference of opinion. From this timo forth there should bo perfect harmony and oneness of purpose among our whito poople, and all should work together with most indomitable energy, zeal and activity. Tho registered negro voters in Edgefield Dis trict ure about 4.COO ; and it will be seen by con sulting tho ahove summary that 2,100 of ihese vo ters did not go lo the polls. The registered whi?e votors aro about 2,600. Of these, about 1,100 went to tho polls; Cor of the 1,500 Democratic votes recorded above, fully 400 were negroes. Il is beyond dispute that a largo number of negroes voted tho Democratic ticket in the 10;h Regi ment. These revelations cry out loudly against the blind and culpable apathy of the white people of tho District. Public Meeting at Mt. Willing. Wo learn from the Columbia Phoruix of Friday last that several hundred persons having assem bled at Mount Willing, on th' 3rd of June, a meet ing was. called to express the sentiments of those present on the resolutions passed at Edgefield C. H., oa salo-day io June. Capt. Phil. Walters offered tho fallowing resolution, which was unani mously adopted : Remited, That we disapprove of the entire proceedings of the public meeting held at Edge field C. H., on Monday last, and also of the lan guage used by several of the speakers, ac oalcu latod to injure tho Democracy, both North and South; and.that we consider anothor State Con vention as entirely useless. j^-The President on rife 12th nominated Hon. Reverdy Johnson as Minister to tho Court of St. James, and the Senate has unanimously confirmed the nomination. Ambitious to Die Decently and in Or der. There is a man in Columbia jail, condemned to be hanged soon ; and he has lately protested in the most solemn meaner against tbe ghastly rite being performod by the newly-eleoted Radical Sheriff of Richland District. To bo thus right minded at the last moment, goes to prove that the unfortunate man is not given o vor to total repro- J baoy. He oupht io be pardoned, ' j South Carolina to be Speedily Read? mitted into the " Glori?os Union.?' The Bill reported by the.Senate Judiciary Committee for the admission, opon certain con di tions, of .five of of the unreconstructed Southern States, has been passed by both Houses of Con? gress, and ii now in the hands of. the President for his action. He cannot, according to his past record, do otheirwisD than veto iL ?His veto, _OW *ever, will ho of no avnil ; and. it"is almost abso lutely certain that in a very, short' time North Carolina,' South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Louisiana will be admitted to the Union,.>ith their infamous radical-negro Constitutions, their infamous State and Federal offic|rj, and with all the infamous insignia of tyranny^ and degrada tion .with which Radicalism, fi^g, unprincipled and volitar., bas invested them. The aforesaid " conditions" are mainly two : First. When their filthy and mongrel Legisla tures shall have ratified the 14th Article-the Howard Amendment. And Second. That never, aslong as the world stands, shall there be, ia these States, any restraint upon negroes voting. To accomplish these purposes, the Legislatures of the different States may be convened within thirty days after the passage of the Act. That these Legislatures, composed as they are of ne groes, adventurers and renegades, (we put thc negroes first,) will prove perfectly docile, and in every way worthy of Radical trust, there can be no doubt. Consequently Souih Carolina will soon be "in the Union f and tho carpet-baggers, and renegades, and uegroes, and scoundrels generally, will be rioting more than ever in ill-gotten pelf and power. And all tbis'to manufacturo seventy electoral votes for Grant-another name now for perfidy, tyranny and Radicalism ! The Radical?, losing ground steadily at the North, are making frantic and desperate efforts to ostablish themselves at the South. But the laws, dogmus and teachings they would seek to perpetuate aro revolting to the hearts of all just and honest Americans; and it will not be long before they end all their party will have'gone tn everlasting ruin and reproach. And under present circumstances, it devolves upon us, the whito people, the Democrats, of the country, to rise and make more undying efforts than we have ever made before, for the success of J tho National Democratic Nominee fur President, and for the rescue of the Government from per manent despotism. -? ?. - Feast of Reason?

" The Battle-Blade." " PF.P.SONNF.," SO distinguished as a letter-writer during the war, sends from Columbia to thc Charleston Neva a letter concerning tho sayings and doings of the late Convention ; and in des cribing somewhat tho conference between the two Committees, speaks thus of the representative from Edgefield : "Never did sabre cut more keenly than the sharp, direct, incisive aguments of GARV, who, by tho way, looks the very imper sonation of a battle-blade." Is Edgefield a Sodom? Bah ! we morely ask tho question to introduce our subject, to wit : Want of Rain. A Sodom indeed ! Many people are in the habit of saying so; but ns f?r US, we think Edgefield n mighty good old place. Why has U rainjL however, immediately North of us, and South of us, and East of us, and West of us, whilo we are left as dry as summer's dust ? But although we want rain most terribly, we are wrong to ask such questions.* We aro put here to work out, not question, the decrees of Providence. An Episode io the Lives of Two Great Alco.

As toon as twenty-five names havo 1 een ob tained, the Committee recommend the election of Officers, provided for in the Constitution, and that all necessary arrangements be made for the speedy introduction of white Immigrants into tho District and State. Our neighboring District of Newberry bas an organization in active operation, similar to, the ono hero proposed, and the roost encouraging results are being realized. Quite a number of Immigrants have arrived nndcr the* auspices of their Society, have readily procured homes, and are well pleased. Other Distriots are moving in the same direc tion, and Edgefield should not be behind in the only practicable means of regenerating our pros trate country, and relieving it of tho paralysing influence of negro supremacy. Your Committee are weli convinced that, to in sure success, it is only necessary for our people to make a united and determined effort to fill up our beautiful and hospitable country with an intelli gent and thrifty white population. We should dignify labor,-honor and reward it. Encourage, welcome and protect the immigrant, and he will flock to our genial and productive soil. The chief iropoditnent to success heretofore has boen the single effort to introduce the isolated laborer, from whose toil ready and remunerativo incomes could be promptly realized. It is a groat mistake to look solely to thc capital produced in dollars and cents by the laborer. Iiis social condition, and thc social welfare of the community, must be rogarded and provided for,-and heneo families, bona-fide settlers, mint be encouraged to como, who will become identified with the soil, and gradually and imperceptibly merge their social habits into those of our own people Wo must divide out our lands, and be content for the present with email incomes. We must in a word make ourselves independent of the negro. Our political and social edifice has been suddenly and widely tom down. Wo must collect together the debri?, put ina neic comer stone,-the ?kite man,-and make haste slowly, to rebuild the structura. The Foreign Emigrant hes heretofore been so prejudiced against us by false representations in those Northern cities,-New York, Boston and Philadelphia,-where he has disembarked, that it has been difficult, almost impossible, to attract his attontion to the more productive cheap lands of the South. Thc monopoly in this regard is how ever no longer exclusively in tho hands of those citios. Baltimore has within the last two or three months oponed a diroct line of Emigrant Steamors with Bremen, and we of the Sooth can enter her Ports in pursuit of white Immigrants with the confidence that our efforts will bc aided and not thwarted and malignantly obstructed. The pro pitious moment therefore bas arrived for our en tire peoplo to respond cordially to the movement in Baltimore. Let them organize and join the Sooiety which your Committee has recommended, or a better one if it can be suggested ; and let them contribute what means they can spare to this most important object. Respectfully submitted. A. P. BUTLER, R. 0. M. DUNNOVANT. M. C. BUTLER, R. D. BRUNSON, JAMES A. DEVORE. For the Advertiser. G. D. Tillman's Article No. I. I shall occupy a very short space (with your consent, Mr. EDITOR,) in reply to article No. I, by G. D. TILLMAN, Esqr. You moko many assertions, friend TILLMAN, and excuse mo for saying that most of them are absurd. You bring forward nothing to support them. You state with accuray what the Radicals icill do, nnd what tee should not do; you look upon tho little petty Dis riet offices os benoatb your notice, and consequently npt worth the effort, to obtain. Many of aa think differently, and in Dur business transactions at the Court Hquse and in Court, pretor to deal with gentlemen in prcfer snco to renegades and adventurers. Bogus State slections you call them ; yes, in your estimation :hey are ult bogus, Convention, Legislature, and ill. And some of you, last year, tried to convince he people that it was all a farce, and that the Convention would never be held ; or if it did ever neet, nothing would be done. But, unfortunately, it is a reality ,- it is tangible, and we feel it, and javo now to bear the burden of it; and instoad >f ?the slow, tedious and doubtful procos you pro wse to be pursued a year hence of contesting ?ats in Congress, I propose to make an effort at mee to defeat the monster. I never saw so weak an article from your pen >efore ; you beg the question all the way. You iay we can do nothing in the next Presidential ilcction, the Radicals will declare tho Radical icket elected any way. This is only assertion on ?our part. There will be two tickets in the field or electors, and the negroes are rapidly coming < iver to the Democrats; men of integrity are be- 1 ng appointed at thc various election precincts, md if we poll a majority of votes, I have no ? loubt we will reap the benefit of it. Qur Post < Commanders are not all Radicals ; some of them, . it least, will do what is right. This js more (han , irobable at all event*, and surely it is worth a , rial. But you also intimate that the result of ; he Presidoutial election will bo altered io the ; Senate wh?n tho vote is counted; it is useless to j lombat a thing so unreasonable and improbable < ts this. You say " if the next Presidential elco- j ion should witness the inauguration of twoPresi- | lents and one war." I rather think the reminis- ] onces of ibo late war, both North and South, are ? if such a character as will not induce the people j o engage in the luxury again very soon ; at least ] re of the South are willing, I chink, that the rost ( ?f tho .wcrid should enjoy a monopoly of war. 1 io! wo can never be battered by war in this section j for years to co.tnc, and it is niudnoss to encourt? tlc thought. What yon say about contesting scats in t Lower House of Congress, may bo all very w when the time comes, hut that is ? lon,? way t Let us take things in the order they come; & first on docket is tho Presidential election, and we can carry.that, all will be well, ?nd therfl w be no.use of this expensivo and tedious contest!: of seats. Yea giveup too soon' . If wc fa.il, hurra is done. Let us it least try whelp ourselvi lam decidedly in favor ?f fighting the devjl wi fire. The Radicals haye declared universal st frage for the negroes, that they might use tht vote and carry the South in the rut President! election. It is an open game, and I cannot! tho life of me ace why they should enjoy a mono oly in these newly enfranchised people. It is o interest and oar duty to use the same element carry the elcation for tho Democrats. Wc CRU I it, and we will do it, if wi*e counsels prevail, ai prudence is exercised. Yonr course only driv the freedman into tho Radical camp; he h nowhere clso to go. There, at the Village, who you declared your policy, hundreds of Radio votes, in fact no others, were polled in the la election ; here, at one box, where it was r. known, not a singlo Radical vote was taken, ai at another only eight. Such is the result nf yo teaching, and in your next article you will on add fuel to fhn flame. Yours, respectfully, OLD SALUDA. -? ? ? For tho Advertiser. Noni ber,H. I have said that the Southern people can c themselves no practical good either by votiug the Mongrel State elections, or by offering qua! lied negro suffrage as a compromise to thc Rad cals. I now go a step further, and say that tl application of theso proposed remedies, instes of redressing Southern wrongs wil! but increa; them. Why have the Reconstruction Acts be? passed ? Every party, or association of men f( political purposo, have a principle, ns well as policy to guide their conduct. The principle an honest conviction of the judgment as to whi is best to be done for thc good nf the State, whi! the policy is a dishonest prompting of the beai as to what is best to be done for tho good of th party, to enable their members to exercise th powers of government and* enjoy the honor: emoluments and stealage of the offices. Froi the origin of the Federal Government, two pai ties have struggled for the control of it. The os favoring a strong central Government, with wea local State Governments, while thc other bav favored strong Stato Governments, with a wea central Government. The Radicals, who are th legitimate suoccssors of the old Monarchists an Federalists of New England, have persistentl sought to abolish the State Governments and cou solidate all political power in the hands of a no merion! majority at Washington, whioh should b a lew unto itself; while tho Democrats, wbos chief strength bis always resided in the Soutt have steadily and successfully opposed it; bu when the South voluntarily withdrew her mem hers from Congress, and when many of the lead ing Democrats of the North quit politics to figh for thc Union, the Constitution and the Laws, a they supposed, the Radicals, in thc progress of successful war, got possession of the Government and the unprincipled loaders intend to hold pos session, or do every thing that bad men dare do. They know that Southern Democrats, nowhav other memories to cherish, as well as oppositio: to centralization,-bounties, prohibitory tariff: and the collection of ruinous Taxes from ono sec lion or industry to be appropriated for the benet! of another. They are also aware that the Sooth ern States will henceforth be not only a uni against radicalism in legislation, but likewise ii the Presidential eleotion, which latter controls al the patronage of the Government They furth? know that whereas five negro slaves foTmerl; counted only as threo whites in assigning repre sentation, that now each negro counts HS a whit for representative-purposes, and that tho Soutl will thus gain eight or ten additional Representa lives, as perhaps the only compensation she wil ever rece! ? for the emancipation: of her slaves. It is to overcome this newly recruited Maccdc nian phalanx of Democracy in the South tht the last Congress and the present have perpetra ted all their nefario;:: unconstitutional acts. Be side, the Radicals have wronged w too. deeply ti forgive us. We have thwarted them too oftes and too long in administering tba Federal Gov ernmont, for them not to dread us. So intense!; do the Loaders hate the people of the South, ant so bent are they on consolidating the Governtnen and controlling Its offices, that to get an anti Democratic party here they would not only dis franchise whites and enfranchise blacks, but they would also, if it were possible, enfranchise om vory dogs, then give every dog the hydrophobia and turn him l?osn to prey upon Southern Demo crats, their wives and childrens so as to have done with the race. Unbridled ambition, unboundod fear, and unlimitod bato have all combined to make the Radical Congress legislate outride of the Constitution toward the Southern States in abolishing the dd loyal State Governments-in putting the military above the civil authority-in placing negroes over the white men of the South, and on a level with the white mon of the North, and in compelling the adoption of the 14th Con stitutional Amendment which only allows rep resentation in Congre?s for Negroes and China men, in thoso Stat3?, where they shall bc per mitted to vote. As the Radical leaders are' inexorably deter mined on getting au anti-Democratic party in the South, it cannot bo expected that they will permjt any other than Radical Stato Governments to bo sot up here, as long as it can bc prevented. Then why should Southern Democrats deceive them selves with the hope of having fair pUy in the' bogus Stato elections ? Can tho devil do right, and is not the South filled with Radical Devils, supported by the army, by tho Bureau, and by the Leagues, whose first business it is, not to pro tect persecuted Union men,-not to overawe un repentant rebels,-not to take cure of the nation's words, except to make then Yute,-but simply to build np and maintain Radical power,-to get. Radical United States Sejators, Radical Repre sentatives in Congress, and Radical Presidential Electors from the South ? As it is the deliberate purposo of tho Radicals to get power ia tho South, without regard to the means, how can such men as Perry, Hampton, Chesnut, McGowan and others cherish the delusion that qualjfjed negro suffrage could bc accepted as a compromise by the Radicals, when absolute negro suffrage cannot accomplish their purpose,-when even a partial disfranchisement of whites cannot accomplish it, -when, after having enforced both of these vjl ainous nieasur*:, they are also driven to practice frauds in '.egistering voters, stuffing ballot botes, Cviil.sting pretended elections, and excluding Democratic candidates, fairly elected to office, by test oaths, and through other infamous pretexts. As all elections under the old legal State Gov ernments of the South are prohibited by. the Mili tary, In ubeaienco to the Reconstruction Acts, it is not now likely that any but bogus elections will bc held hero until after the inauguration of the next President, and it may be not until after the organization of the next Congress. What chance will the undisfr&ncbiicd voters bare to carry theso elections. If, by argument, persuasion, bribery, or intimidation, (all considered right in Northern elections,) they should succeed in get ting enough freedmen to co-operate, so as to poll two Democratic votes for one Radical, is any man JO credulous as to beljeye that the votes would be ?bus counted ? Ia what clectjon under t!)e recon struction Acts, any where in the South, haye the Radicals failed to declare the result according to instructions previously given ? In North Caroli io, Arkansas, Toxas and Virginia, tho undlsfran -hised, honesty true white voters are largely in the ascendant, yet has either of these States ailed to go radical whenever a pretended eleotion ios been held to call a Convention, ratify a Con ititution, or to do any thing else ? Has any State, tccoidlng to tho Radical count, failed to elect a ?adiesl majority to the legislature, which is to jperato the Stato Radical machine, and which Is deo to elcot nigger Senators to hold over in the next Congress. EH any State failed to frome all its organic laws according to present, or future exigencies, so aa to subser-e the interests of the ? idic.il party in such State ? The Radicals have hitherto declared ol cotions^ or . determined the qualifications 'of officers elect so ai to get posses sion of every Depart aont of the bogus State Governments, wbcr? any. hive been organized, and they wiircontinue ^o?odt in ffiefature. None but out and out Kidical Stile Governments are to bo organized any where in tho Sooth under tho Reconstruction Acts. Trneya few poisoned emmi* of petty offices may have been thrown to Demo cratic candidates, and may continue to be so thrown, but only from deep design. The Radicals can oa-iily import ten Carpet Daggers for every office of profit in. tho whole South, and if they fail to fill any snug places with the " trooly loil," it will be to leave them as apples of discord to promote contention among Democratic candidates and their respective friends, by trying who shall come the nearest to hoing a negro to get nigger votes-to divide our people by making the incum bents of the offices and their friends interested in sustaining the bogus State Governments for tho sake of the prnjierty in the offices, and to cause expulsion from the D?mocratie ranks of those candidates and their friends who may come the nearest turning to white niggers daring the election. With most candidates votes count, they do not weigh, and thus tho defeated Democratic candidate?, os well as the succcssf.d enos, at all these bogus State elections, have been, and will continue to be, impelled toward Radicalism. The Radicals understand full well what effective weap ons offiees of profit are to change men's politic*, and as they have taken all the important offices of real power, let us beware of Trojan horses. u I fear the Greeks and their offering gifts." Even if the Radical plan of reconstruction fail, and fail it will, the leaders are resolved to plant the germ of a radical party here. It is said by some good Democrats-men who are as true to their State aad race as the needle to the pole that wo ought to fill every office we eau in the bogus State Governmon:, especially the adminis trative offices, with soar.d Democrats, because if the Radical Legislature iboald enact unjust lawr, or the Radical Courts should attempt to inflict improper judgments, thuse administrative officers, could execute such laws and judgments tenderly ' or leave them unexecuted. Where is the powor of Impeachment in the Legislature, which will never adjourn as long as the Treasury holds out? Who is in the House to prefer charges-who in the Senate to try them? Where is the power be hind the pappet Throne-the Military ? Let a subordinate administrative officer dare execute his office tenderly, or len .-e it unexecuted, and he will be kicked out in len days. Moreover, if our rights are to be invaded let it be done by an enemy,-not by a friund. It is not positively certain that the bogus Stite Governments will be inflicted upon us, aa the Impeachmeot of Presi dent JOHNSON, and the candidacy of Mr. Cbase, or Mr. Seward for the ner.t Presidency, and the qualified negro suffrage platform, will evidently have much to do with organising bogus States at the South, and admitting them into the present Congress. But doubtless many of these mongrel State Governments will soon be installed, and as the Radical programme is to be carried out here at all hazards, until tho Supremo Court, or the Peo ple's Court, shall relieve us, lot thc bogus concerns' take care of themselves for the Ijjtle while they may have to live. Let our people bo paient and have fortitude to bear the tyrannies that their ene mies have in store for them during the next f-jw months. Every dog has his day. It is theirs now. It may be ours to-morrow. It is not a fixed fact tba ; the Radicals will hold any elections at the South for thc noxt President, and for Representatives in tho next Congress. They have suspended nil logal olections hore, so that the Southern States cannot possibly vote for the Democratic Nominees for President and vice President It may be that having deprived the Democratic party of its strong and unanimous support at the South, that the Radicals will t*ke their chances for the Presidency before the North ern people, without allowing the South to partici pate in the election at all. Many facts and argu ments warrant the probability of this course being pursued by the Radicals, especially as to son>e of the Southern States, and even under the Consti tution of the United States, Congress has power to " make, or alter" State regulations for holding elections for Representatives in Congress. South ern Congressional elections may therofore be post poned by Congress until after the next Presiden tial election shall have tak :n place, or bc post poned indefinitely. For some Radical purposes the Southern States are wholly in tho Union ; while for other purposes they are wholly out ot the Union, and for still other purposes they are partly in the Union and paitly out. As the next Conrrcssionai elections ein be con tested, and contested success fully, if the Northern Democrats can have a majority from their section at the organization of the House, and us the de clared result of the next presidential election cannot bo contested except hy the sword, it need surprise no ono if tho Souihcrn States are not held to bc sufficiently in the Union io vote at the next Presidential otectioa, Int wholly out of the Union to vote for members ?f Congress, particu larly if the Northern Democrats should electa majority to tho next House- from their section. Although the results of any elections that thc Radicals may hold horo fur President and for Congressmen will bo determined in advance, just as they predetermine the S tn tc elections, aud just j as all jlections are decided in France, and under every other military despotism ; yet, whenever any Federal election* shall bo hold in the Sooth, it seems advisable for our undisfranchised people to rote at tlum-in the Congressional election to eontest the result at the organization, and in the Presidential election to prove that the legal voters of the South would cast their ballots for Demo crats if they had tho opportunity, and bocause it remains to bc seen whether tte white men pf thal North Kill quietly allow a President to bo inaugu rated who may owe bis. election to the disfran chisement of legal white voter-', to good counting, ?od to the Uligal votes of seven hundred thou sand niggers. - It makes the Radicals happy to see Southern men*scrambling at the bogus State elections, first because the Radicals intend tbs tit shall be a fruit-1 less scramble, except'in catching small baits; and second becauso the Southerners are unwittingly, recognising tho legitimacy of tl e bastard Govern- f merits by canvassing for ofljecs under them. Every tim? our people participate in one of these bogas elections, they get more and more demoralised, approach nearer and nearer to Radicalism. G. D. TILLMAN. ?'?kt* Vallandigham says thal, the strength of the Democracy in the Presidential canvass lies in the fact that the country wants a statesman, rather than a soldier, for President.
