Wednesday Morni-g, May 22, 1872,
benerals Ker'shmaw's Letter.
In another oulumn will be fbund a
tter from Gen. J. 13. Kershaw, upoif
ic present aspect of political afairs.
is well worth a,varetul perusal, a'id
c commend it to.tho consideration of
very one who claims to have at least
hbart tie tru. interost3 cf our
tate and people.
Wo note wi,h pleasaro and Fatisfae
on that Oen. Kershow takes ,the
ile view as ourselves in regard to
io propriety of a State Convention,
d [outh Carolin.Va partlipation in
e Baltimoro Convoution. Ilik rea.
niog is clear and conclusive, and his
>nviotivns undoubtedly sincre.
is devotion to the State no one can
aostion, and his patriotism has been
ng ago proved.
It iu hardly necessary for us to say
at we eudorse heartily every word
the letter reforred to, and hold up
e tourse of no distinguished a nan
worthy to be followed by overy
3nest citizen.
'e nIlI for a stAte Con11en
t1olk.
Wo noiced in Saturday's Colum
.1 p ipr3 a call for a State "Demo
atic" Convoution, signed by certain
mtlemen, slyling themselves "COU.
al ExNoutive Coummittee." The
dL is by no ioans autl oritative, as it
convoyed simply in the shape 'of a
quest.
W h ile on tert aiiiing gireat resp et for
ic nmembers of the '.'Central Execu
ve Committeo'" 8s called, we aro-dis
osed somiewhiat to doubt the actual
mistenice of suc~h a body. In fact, if
urI memory serves us right, the Do
ocracy of this State discarded the
ie old party nrimo two y'earts ago,
ad called themselves Reformers.
.fter the campaign of 1870, the Re
>m party fizzled out, and since that
me there has hbeen no general politi
11 organization in the State. In
hat way, then, was the Dcmocraitic
arty revived, and to what source are
e indebted for the "Central Execa.
v*e Commiinittee'' 1 These are ques.
1)ns pertinecnt to the c.dl f,r a Stato
oinvention, and suggest to us an ap
rient anomaily in State poilities.
or can we see that a D)~e'eratie
tate Cmnvention can assemble with
ut involving the State at large in a
raivo inceonsistency. 'Phe character'
t' its polities for the past two years is
i rfect harmony with the Liberal
.cpnblican mnovement, and we con.
mdi that the proposed Convention is
either proper nor polhtic. We do
r'e our Stato to act consistently, and
at be dragged here and there by the
'orther'n Democracy. It has bieen
Iready dlemlonstra ted, and radly too,
iat the National Dam>oratie party
in render us no assistance at all in
hr present diJstressedl cond itiory, and
'e think it is about t.ime that the
outh was begininlg to taLe an lade
endent stanid in polities, anid consult
or own true welfare, instead of yield.
o the imperious dognimas of such nren as
3olmnont, Vorbees, Iroffman, anid that
lass of Demiocrats, who, hiolding pub
io oflices and getting rich, oare no
iore for the South than for the lAjeo
slafide. If their lovafer un is sin
cre, we certainly wouild look for' a
noro lively, manifestation of it than
ro have yet seen.
The Baltimore Convention is
raught with great danger to -thg
southern people, andc for that reason'
we at'o opposed moest decidedly to thu
hate being rep'resented in it. W e

So.th Carolina hai spoken thropigh

National Domooracyj and calls upon
it to rise to a true appreciation of the
nemesities of thtj pyesernt times. She
cees aloud to be rcleascd f oru politi.
cal slavery, and in a manner too that
ought, not to.be disregarded.
The Baltiiove coavent6ION.
Under a cali from its National Ex
ecutivo Co.nmittee, the Democratic
party, thiough its dclocates, will mCet
in convention in Baltimore on the 9th
July next, and we fear, in doing so
wili <o umit the greatest blunder of
its whole career, un!ess political
tricksters and schemers are kept oul
of its coulcils, auld in this latter
event we look for the accomplishment
of some good to the country at large.
As a general rulo representative
bodies are miarpilated by wire-pull
era a lid hanger, cmn, and its action con
trolled accordiagly. We have a pre
zaentimcnt that this will be the case at
Baltimore. There aire a certain claiss
of meu in thu D)emocratic party who
u-e every effort to shapeC its polic'y toi
subserve their o,wn private ends, un
mindful of the interests and welfare
of the whoile people. Tfhese meen gen
erailly manage to work their way into
the national cornvent-ionis, or exert .a
very. powerful outside influence. The
flno mination of Judget Chase was de.
[feat ed *.in 1863 by this elique, and
through their instrumentaity Ifora
tio Seymour put forward, a~ good -hon.
ost D)emocrat, but v''ithi no national
reputation, and without any strength
outside of New York. We believe
that if Ch,aso had been, the nominee at
that time, he would to-day ho Presi
dent otf the United Stabe.s, instead of
the '"no policy"' mian Grant.
.It is high time that; the Democrat
ic party wore beginniing to correct its
past errors, and fellow out its real
deCstiniy. For the past ten years, it
huas been like a stranded vorncel at see,
without masts or ruddier, .r iftinig
about, and blowvn hither and thither
by every breeze. D'uriog all that
time it has failad to reach its truc
haven, andl is even now in grea t dIan.
ger of going to pieceu at Baltimore.
Ini other worda we e.tpress it as our can
did conviction that in caso a straight
party t ioket is nom inatedl at Bailti
more, such action will be the death
knell of thte party. Entertaining
this op iion,1 we regard( then assem-t
b!ing of the Democracy at Paitimore
as unwise, injudicious, and per;ni
cLou)Is in mtany re.peotu. -Wet hav e a!

Demnoe~ta everySwhere to support the
Liberal Republican movement, and
do everything in their -power to frus
trato a nomination at .Baltimore, oth
4er than the endorsoment of G reeley
anii Brown.
Wo observe an i'utimation in the
Columbia Carolintian that the "State
