'2~ ~ I AS~u fit~tsd A*e~soinO0Qm a ild ng Mrfuly considered th platform of the Do mocrade pprty of -Bnth Carolina for the year 1827, ad the various reso. utions that Were referred to them, beg leave to make the ftllowing re portl We recommend as the Democratic platform of South Carolina in 1878, enunciatious of the same principles, policies, and pledges, as were con tained in the platform of 1876, which is as follows, to * wit: "The Demo. cratic party of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, announces the following as its platform of princi pies: We reiterate onr acceptance in perfect good faith of the Thir. teenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, to the Federal Consti tution, accepting and standing upon them; we turn from the settled and final past to the great, living and mo. mentous issues of the present and the future. We reaffirm the plattorm of princi pies announced by the National Demo cratic party assembled at St. Louis, and in accordance with the declara tion of that platform and the utterances and acts of our distinguilied loader, Wade Hampton, we call upon all of our fellow citizens irrespective of race, color or previous condition, to unite with us in continuihig the work of reform and redemption inaugu rated, by the Democratic party of South Carolina, for it is evident that substantial and lasting reform is in possible within the ranks of the Re publican party of this State. We have charged and convicted the Republi can party with arraying race against race, creating disturbances and fo menting difficulties; with prostitut ing the elective franchise, t ampering with the ballot'.box, and holding un fair and fraudulent elections; with having accumulated an enormous debt; mismanaged the finances, and injured the credit of the State; with levying exorbitant taxes, and squan dering them when collected, thus wringing trom (he toil and liveli hood of the honest pcor man of the State a laige p~ercerntum of his hard earnings without giving in return any compensation therefor, and reek lessly involving in debt a majority of the countitsa of the State. Its triani agement of our penal and charitable institutions was i. shame and a dis grace. We charge its legislation as demoralizing, partizan and disgrace.. tnt, and the venality and corruption which character ized every branch of the government, executive, legislative and judicial, as having no parallel in the history of nations. It created a multiplicity of unnecessary and use less offices, complicated in their ByE'. tern and unnecessarily expensive, and can never purify itself, give good and impartial government, or by -its moral force and character ex ercise In its full sovereignty the law of the land. We do not charge this condition of things, which every pa triot must deeply deplore, upon the masses of the party, but upon their leaders, who made such fatal use of their confidence and trust, for it is our firm conviction that all the good people of tlie State of both .races de.. sire peace and prcsperity. We therefore call upon all of our fellow citizens, irrespective of race or past party affiliation, to join with us in preserving the good r~ame' of our State, and in maint aining her dig * bty and character among the Coin iionwealths of this great country. We discountenance all disturbance of the peace of the S'ate, and den ounce al1* instigators and promoters thereof, and earnestly call upon all of our fellow-cItizens, irrespective of prty linecs, to exercise forbeara'jce ~6 cultivate good will; and if the amn of the State is continued @oftrol, we pledge ourselves Sthe giersons, rights and alMi its people, and to ~i~e~t~ *bgto entarmry justice its a peaceable elec padid not 4pad have a. 4 hp bardens of the, peoplo ivq 'Ot ,e same time abiW"te seour ty to the rights and property of all. Vpon bheselparamount issues we portlIally invite the co-operstfoi of everf Democrat and Republican who is aarnesi and willing to unite with us in this peat work, We riegommend lo the favorable consideration of the Convention the following natned resolutions, and rc coemmend that the same do pass, namel3: the resolution offered by Mr. Buist, of Charleston, in relation to the unity of the Democratic party to wit: "Resolved, That the unity and fn. tegrity of the Democratic party is of paramt unt importance to the success of our cauee and the welfare of our peole iii the enmuing election, and we repudiate all fusion or coalition with the Republican pai ty, and most un qualifiedly condemn any Independ ent movement whatever, as inimical to the people and destructive of their interests and welfare. We recommend that the resolution offered by Mr. Aiken be laid on'the table, and offer as a substitute, there. for the following: "Resolved, That for the developi ment of our growth as a people, and of our resources as a State, a bureau of immigration and agiiculture should be established, having for its object the encouragement of and holding out inducements to, honest and industr ious emigrants from other countries to settle among us, and designed~to stimulate increased and improved production of what. ever may be grown upon our soil; and we recommend to the General Assembly the speedy enactment of such laws as will found such a bu reau upon a permanent and practicud basis, and provide for its ready and active operation, to the attainment of this desirable end." Resolved, That this Convention views with the deepest concern the troubles which have arisen in the up per portion of the State in the en forcement of the exercise laws of the United States, relating to the illicit distilling of whiskey, and is extremely solicitious that this subject should be fairly considered by Congress, and somo law devised in amendment of or supplementary to, the present system, that will remove the existing causes of irritation, alleviate the present troubles of our people, insure obedi once by virtue of' a recognition of the justice of the laws, and to restore peace and quiet whore disaontent now reigns; and, as preliminary to a change of these laws, we invoke his Excellency, R. B. Hayes, President of the United Stases, to extend amnesty unto all persons in the State who have violated them. Resol ved, That this Con vent ion commends with entire- approbation the course which has been pursued in the late session of Congress by our distinguished State State Senator, the Hon. M C. Butler, as well as by his Democratic colleagues, the Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken and the Hot.. J. H. Ev ins; in the House of Representa tives; and the btate now calls upon them in their respective spheres of duty to exert their influence and ability to effect the desired modifica tion of the exercise laws, and secure for our people the relief which is so much needled and sought for. SENrAToR PATTER8oN BUZZING H AYES -Senator Patterso~n, of South Caro, lina, will leave Washington to mor-, rowv for another jaunt into the coun-. try. A few days since he called upon the President. Mr. Hayes re ceived him, as he does all -callers, very cordially. The conversation turned naturally on South (:larolina politics. Patterson remnarked that be wens surprised to olearn that the President had pardoned so many Ku'KI ix prisoners, moonshiners, etc., and saroaatIclly singgested that It would be a guod 'idea to pardon everyb9,iy in the State wh~o ha~d oommftted outrage. obu the flepuiblI. can ty.Tbe PralesidnhgilIy o edthat 6. thought 115seof the uiar*0Aw4 power #i lptodrleed If I ld go dowh to Se lina I'll bet the ggons w nIW't i-, dorse 8amptou'k t President thoightfdl 1 ..
