The friends of the Alliance demands deserve gieat credit for the victory they gained. They composed a large majority of the convention and conducted themselves with wisdom and conservatism. Tin v have asserted their supremacy and placed their princples in the Democratie platform. If every State, or even a majority of the State, had done this, those principles could have been engrafted in the national platform of one of the old paitiesand guaranteed its success in the coining national contest. But it seems to have been impossible in anj other State to fully succeed in this method; aud, therefore, South Carolina will have the honor ot standing alone in the Chicago convention, and putting the national Democratic party on record on the Alliance demands. ****** The Pickens County New, (Aln.) asks: If there is an ovei pioduetion nl cotton, why are cotton goods not cheaper? \Nht are so muuy snffei ing for the want of sulllc ient clothing?
