Democratic Coaventio?. As some apprehension prevails in refer ence to the call issued by.the Central Ex ecutive Committee.'we beg lo make a state ment touching the anthority under which we acted. The committee, cf which wo ar-- members, wa? appointed by the Suite Democratic Convention,: which met here August 7. 1S?8 ?ma, like the National D?mocratie Committee, of course, contin ues n exr-tence ont 1 superseded by a new .IT.poi- tment, or is abrojiated by the sam? . ath rirv-'-hich created it. As it is ?he only organization in the St * ?e wh; "K could ' pruner-y take any ac tion in reference to the aili made by the National Democratic Committee, for the assemblage of a National Convention, we . thought 'that courtesy to the National Committee, af well as duty to the people, required some steps on our part. Acting upon these views, and in ?cco?drih?e with a request that we phn??d do so. w^ snggest ed lae propriety of our peopic meeting in convention, ia order fiat they might con sult or take such action as seemed best to them. . In view of the grave questions which will come before the Convention that is to meet here., we deem it of great impor that all parts of the State .should be fully and ablv represented, and wo ven ture to exrress the hope that every Coun tv will send a full delegation. " The National Democratic Convention will be forced either to place its own can didates ia the field, or to give its support, open or implied, to those O:' the I incm nxti Convention. The South prefers .almost unanimously the ditter alternative; and if we wish to make our support of the Liberal movement of any av*', we should u?e every legitimate means in our power to secure the endorsement of the nominees of the Liberal Republican party. Whether it is the best pokey for the National Convention to me-1 or not. is nc longer an open question. It ba? been called together.

The Cincinnati Convention.-Thc S ern Democratic Press.~I.ette! Ulcssra. Aldrich and Kershaw of (he Democratic. Executive < mitiee. The late Convention of the Libers publicans at Cincinnati has arouse moral people of the Union from tho nation and torpor of hope deferred, first rainbow athwart tho dark pol horizon, since thc surrender of.L the Appomatox, has appeared, ra? all hearts.jubilant by the promise of ty in thc future. Providence has " let there be light," and His will be accomplished. In the mh7st of ried security-in the plenitude of p -gorged to satiety with blood, coi lion and infamy, the hand writingis upon the wall, "Thou art weighedd ihe balance, and art' found wanti The dreary path through tae wildei has been trod by our weary and h broken people, and a land of prom' seen looming up in the dim distan the future. Let us arise, and ass! the great work of civil and politlci ireneration, recollecting that the I aids those only who assist themselv Amid the astounding revelations o past few weoks, and the excitement duoed by the late startling pol?tica' version in our favor, the minds ol people are confased, and they are ui tain what eeurse to pursue in ma available the principles declarator die platform of the liberal repu bi party. The Democratic Papers at thc S have quickly, and very plainly, nouneed their recognition and appi of the' action of the Convention at cinnati, and those of our State have been laggards in their indorsement < platform, The only difficulty, or p< oal r.;r 'blem remaining to be solved, reg?V? so the cou rpo to be pursued b: Democratic party of the Union, ii Convention to meet in Baltimore in i n^x: Ii si:f,:n" tr. bc generally admitted the nom'inafion 6i a Democrat for Presidency will defeat Greeley as w< the Democrat:, nominee,' and re-i Jrant. If this result should follow, fsuek a course on tho part of the 'De eratic party would not only bedisa'sti but w.oqld entai! a curse upon it, d bitter, and eternal, from the Sont ?*>?iC which would destroy its exist? ' -*v.fdr nil time, and condemn a.> a part v. . , * contempt of even* the scorn ano ? and patriotic citizen. M, T. ^ Let us avert such a pos?. u * eau. All pf the Democratic paper* South seem to bc in favor of sending' * gates to thc Baltimore Democratic C vention, but these papers are cxponi of constituencies representing Deinoc ic majorities'in their respective Sta Let'us inquire Tor a m?numt what adv tage can accrue from Bending dclcgi even from these Stated; or frbm their ing represented in the Baltimore C vention. Large mis-, ailed deliberal assemblies are proverbially governed passion, rather than by reason, and chances of disagreement and division in the di ree* ratio of their size. Unqi tionably there will be men in thatc venii- n who will be !avorable?to a Dc oeratic nominee-rhcu of ability, arid Uuen o too, who cannot lay aside tl: antique notions of political seien though tiley may bc now called dead .'..res and political heresies, and who ] the "Bourbons,'' never learn any th; from experience. There will lie otli ;-...>, perhaps of ecpiai ability and int ..nee. bub of more sagacity, who may opposed to such a nomination. Wi will bc the probable result, save ti which genera!ly follows from thc c< eussion ot antagonistic forbes, disvupti and disintegration? Surely this is nc very desirable fate ?br the Demora party. Have our Political Sachems f gotten tho sudden and abrupt term ii ?ion of tho Democratic Convention Charleston in 1800? rf then thc Southern people, (and ? i here mean the masses, and not thc : called political wirepullers,) arcoppos to a Democratic Nominee at the prose juncture cfalfairs, of,what usc i* t Baltimore Convention,-what good e it effect,-and why should even thu Southern States having Democratic ru jorities, send delegates tc represent tuc in that body. It is admitted by .onie of the Southe: . papers-thc t harleaion Daily ?Vet? particular-that i; ivould l.e imprope and i rn po. i ti.-. ifnc? dangerous, for tl Baltimore Convention to nominate or ii Jor^e the nomination of Messrs.

Tho ilrs f..v-rs the nomination of a Democrat fo: the Presidency; t!..- gi-echd advocate tho nomination of Greeley rind drown ?u! third supports tlie platform of tbi liberal Republicans, but seeks tpevadi thc indorsement of rho nominees oftha party. These contntriant clemenita maj produce acerbity tu feeling and parliant division. W bald not tho failure o? tin Baltimore Convention to meet produce all the good J esuit;- ive desire, and aver iii thc evils wc leal ? But whether tho Baltimore convention ought or ought not to meet, or whether the Southern State-., having respectively democratic majorities', scud or do luvt send delegates to that body, the object ol this communication is dimply to show to >ur Democratic fellow citizen;*, that it it not advisable, or either dignified, or prof itable, for our State to have any connec tion with this Convention', or to send del egates to represent it in that body. Thc people ol'South Carolina havonow no position or power within the lines of the National Democratic party. They are in a hopeless minority, being 17,061 weaker than the Republicans in the Pres idential election of 1868. If the State should send delegates to the Convention they would have uo weight or influence there, save as amateurs, and by the cour tosy of those who woidd be thoro of right. Their vote, if cast, would bo only permissive, for they could bring no strength to the party, and their influence would be nothing, because it could not be backed by material aid of any .kind. To use thus an Americanism, they wculd be political "dead heads." And what high-toned and intelligent Carolinian will consent, to occupy this position.' What good then e9n^^c?bWn^^ jiy. sending delegates? Could they shape,. orin anyway^mbdify the deliberations, or'action of the Convention? Some en thusiastic but unreflecting people, who remember only tho former political in fluence of this State in the Union, imag ine that thc prestige of her former re nown would obtain for her delegates an important voice ip- controlling a Presi dential nomination. This 1?. we think, a fatal delusion. Have wo .my assurance or any rotson to believe that our delega tion could effect any good, especially as we have shown that they would, only rep resent a hopeless minority? Let our people not forget the somewhat ridicu lous position taken by some of our dele gates to. the National Democratic Conven tion at New York in 1S68, and. the very little good they did n<?in that body. If wo are poor and oppressed, let ns atleast strive to be dignified in our misfortunes, and avoid all political affinity, or conso ciation with those who are aliens to us in blood and in feeling. The Demr-cratic parry at tho North has seldom been of service to South Carolina, and our State ha? never been deemed an integral part of this political association. Why should we now, when the odds are against us, assume that it will belie its antecedents? Prosperity does not seek companionship with adversity. The let ters of Messrs. Aldrich and Kershaw op pose the sending of delegates to Balti more, and tho reasons for their opposi tion are cogent and well expressed. The former was a delegate to the Democratic Convention in New York, in 1868, and can speak understandingly of tho little benefit we derived from our connection with it. The latter is ah accomplished gentleman of lofty character, a soldier of distinction, whose opinions aro entitled to respect from thc morality, honesty, and sincerity of his nature, qualities somewhat rare in those who have sur vived tho faU of the late Confederacy. We have not seen any reasons gi ven af fecting the position taken by these gen tlemen. ft Th ; Do mo eratic Executive Committee, has published a call for the meeting of the State Democracy at Columbia In .Tune next. We see no necessity for this con vention either, for the reasons assigned for our opposition ro the National one at Baltimore. In fact, the people are sick and tired of all this political humbugge. ry, jugglery, and wire pulling, whether under the name of Convention or other wise, which our would-be leaders still endeavor to manipulate without recogni zing the fact that the " glory of Ichabod's house is departed." The re is too much selfishness, and too little self-abnegation in those who aspire to bo not great, but notorious, and thc peoplo are no lougcr willing lo be mado tho pliant instruments of elevating to power those who arc the least meritori Xhpy want peaco and prosperity ';. *huu Conventions.

THOMAS P. MAGRATH. For the Advertiser. Greenwood & Augusta Railroad. A few active, energetic, determined citizens of Greenwood and vicinity as sembled at that place on the 20th of last September, to take into consideration thc building of a Railroad from Green wood to Augusta. Cut off as theywero from their favorite market, and being forced to trade elsewhere than at Augus ta, they attempted to enlist the whole country in the goo?" eausc of building the Greenwood & Augusta Railroad This they succeded in accomplishing, and now the citizens from the Saluda to the (Savannah aro roddy to a.. roan, -tril ling to go to work and consummate the ^'rand undertaking. Their neighbors, above and below, looked upon their action with scorn, hooted at their design, and attempted to throw a damper on- their project. Rut not daunted hy tlip seoftk, the hootinga and contumely of these disin terested neighbors, the friends of the en terprise determined t-> persevere, to.so cure a Charter, and if possible ti; build a Ro.Tvi t.- Angosta, to which market they have resolved togo. <jn thc first of November auothcr.:iicct lng was held at the same place. Then it was that thc people along tho line cheer fully responded to tho call, and ?.av.'such un impetus io the stone that had already bc-in >.et in motion, that ii had overcome every obstacle, broken down every bar ncr. and it.- momentum continues io in ?rense like that I>rauU?-nt rocking stone of old, which the linger Vf a child might set in motion, but v.hioli no pani.'" strength could stay. Meeting after meeting has been held, .it each of which, our hopes have grown brighter and clearer; the friends ol'the enterprise have daily increased, ami con tinuo l<? increase; while a short time -ince they were counted hy tons, they are now counted by hundreds; all pre pared in heart, hand and purse to unite uni complete this undertaking. Iii fact, lhere is no doubt but that tho Road will soon be built. Its contem plation is no myth: nu delusive chimera; none *\f those thousands of troop* of j ipectre form thnt are continually passing nor life's wizard glass; but something (hat i:: practicable and feasible. Who ism doubt thc early complutiou of ibo Rond for one moment, when they con template it with unbiased minds? There is Alienista, the Lowell of tho South mat powerful magnet at one end af the 'inc,-which isnowsu strongly attracting tho attention of the upper Counties of th's Slate. To thc citizens of Sparfanburg and Laurens wo extend our han?X and invite them to come over and join us. Wo will ? isot you on tito I tanks of the Saludo?, And v. ithout reflecting on other Railroad, ehernes in contemplation, wc would say andidly, this is your only hope, your unly way of ever reaching your favorite market directly by Railroad. Who then,'| vith such a powerful attracting force as Augusta in front, and such a motive power in rear as Spartanburg, Laurens, tc, aral other help even beyond thc Blue Midge, can bu so skeptical as to doubt our success? Wo oven behold the day not far distant, when this Road willi.r second to none iii the Union,, for Jink iftor link will be added, until it win form ono grand chain from Augusta to Canada. Some may think this au exaggeration ; m nsseiiion without any foundation ; bul by examining thc topography of tho coun try it will ba soon that as soon as tho Greenwood <fc Augusta Railroad is com pleted, tho other Huhs will bo added RH a natural sequence, and as surely and certainly as water seeks the lowest lovel. A meeting of the Corporators and friends of tho Road was held at Dom's Mine on the 24th inst. Gon. P. H. Bied loy was called to the Chair, and in an eloquent and impressive manner, review ed all our stops from tho first ; made a clear and concise statement of tho costs of constructing &uch a Road, and'indica ted tho line to be pursued in order to crown all our efforts with success. Tho Chairman was ftll?nad by several distinguished gentlemen, who apbko favorably of our prospects. Nqt que 3oubt was expressed. No word of dis mragement was uttered,, but all pleas jhg, cheering and soul inspiring. , J. . ! We wcrp. much .gi^tlnad '.by .mealing our old friends, -the Editors of the Abbe ville 3/ca.fti?i;;'th?y d'eae^tfeoHsifcfabie praise; ana'haVo Our heartfelt thanks .fer the interest they have always mamfestod for our enterprise; and will ever be P9 membered and cherished with the high ast respects by all the friends of- the Greenwood & Augusta Railroad. We do not like to discriminate, to speak of any particular speech, ' but wo cannot refrain from noticing the address of the Senior Editor of the Medium., who being loudly called for, responded in snob a chaste, eloquent,' appropriate and soul stirring manner, that the audience was wild with delight, and not one but what was sorry to see him close. We predict for him a career of usefulness and honor. At an early hour the hill was thronged with people. Persons of all classes and professions left their business, so mu eli Interested are they in this road. From River to River the people came and gave words of encouragem??it. Cheering mes sages were received from . abroad ; en thusiasm was manifested in every utter ance : hope beamed brightly on every countenance, and every heart beat high with excitement. The last particle of doubt seomed to be dispelled from the minds of thoso heretofore doubtful of success. Great interest was exhibited throughout the day, and all left the hill rejoicingin the hope of soon having a-Rail road to Augusta. Let us continue moving, unite energy and det?rmination, and keep working, and ere another year shall pass the whistles of the Greenwood and Au gusta Locomotives will gladden tho hearts of our families throughout-its entire length. There.will bea Railroad Barbecue at Greenwood on the .first day of August, to which everybody is invited. . : _JEFF D. TALBERT. THE ADVERTISER^ Edgefield, S. C., May 30, 1872. Two Odious Measures Killed for the Present. On the 28th inst., the House of Repre sentatives squashed for at least ai year to come-permanently in all . probability two measures particularly aimed at the liberty and happiness of tho South Sumner's Supplementary. Civil Rights Bill, and the Bili extending tho Ku Klux Act. Congress is to adjourn on the 3rd of Juno. Aud with it expires tho Ku Klux Act. It Becomes More and More Apparent. Day by day it becomes apparent that the Democratic Convention will have to endorse the nominees of Cincinnati. Among tho distinguished and patriotic: men, Democrats, whose names we have very recently noticed aa being openly in favor of Greeley and Brown, are Geo. H. Pendleton, Horatio Seymour, G eui. Beau regard, and Genl. Dick Tajdor. But still there are "some Democratic journals,.led on by the New York World and thc Washington Patriot, which care fully refrain from publishing anything ?hat tojjds to advance Greely and Brown as candida*** &r the nominations to be made at Baltimore:? -W We cannot regard such a course ?is axty^S but one-sided and unfair. These papers pro fess to represent Democratic sentiment ; and that sentiment is strongly in favor of the Cincinnati nominees. It gets more so every day, and the independent press come out boldly and declare the fact. The prominent papers we have named above and many oilier sf if-styled organs, sup press the truth, and thus try to blind that part of the public wha have not yet made up their minds. Thc Now York Tribune, on the eontra I ry, gives all the comments of thc press, pro and con, on tlic new issue. It with holds nothing. In this respect st is de serving of thc imitation of the entire Democratic press. It is thc business of the public journals to keep the people informed ; not to blind or deceive them. The voice of the people grows louder .nuU lwuUci py*>ij Joj ?ur rrreciy nun Brown. Will the newspapers and poli ticians vainly attempt tostiilethat voice? They cauuot do it, and they had better desist from the attempt.
