New York, nta, M iqhigan, Illinois, Missouri, 'ahifornia, Kentucky, Tonernessee, Ar-* :ansas, Texas, North Carolina, South larolina, and Alabama, will all send elegations to Baltimore pledged to he endorsement of Gireeley and Irown, and the votes of theso States ill be sufficient to defeat an out-and ut Deomocrat ic nomination.

Tito Late State Couaaelation. The.Convention on the part of the people of this State, lIttely held in Co. lumbia, proved one general fact by its aqtion, which is worthy of note, and it is this, that the citisens of South Carolina, opposed to military despot ism nd Radicalism, are willing -tc sacrifice the non:o of party in out present political complications to sub serve the public weal and therein show themselves fully alive to the exi. goncies of the times. The personnel of that body too was conclusivo evideiice of the sincere desire of the entire conservative olenent in the Stato tt harmonize, and work together in th< Liberal cause. With the exception of an insignifi. cnt and contemptible opposition oi the part of a single, craoked.brained individual, there was perfect una nimity of Fentimeit amongst th representatives of the various s->ctions of the State, who seemed deeply im pressed with the serious nature of the work before them, and evinced a determination to discharge the dutieq devolving upon them in a quiet and straight forward manner. It must not be iipposnd that the Convcntion was simuon-puro Demo cratio entirely. Amongst its mom bors were Liiberal Democrats, Bour bon Demoer:ts, Liberalist., and Lib cral Republican.s The Bourbom were exceedingly slim in meibers and could searoly muster inoro than o corporal's guard. % e must be allowed to say tha1 we were glad to observe that the ef. fort to Imake the gathering out-and. out Democratic failed completely and instead of a party assemblago there was simply a meeting of th< friends of Re-union and Reform from every quarter of the State without re gard to past political bias. Asuol: the Convenitioni was a perfect success. Prudent, sagacious men wvera solected to represent the State at Baltimore. and the Cincinnati platform accopted with only one v'ote ini thme negative that of the same crazy person alluded to above,- wh'o refleeted no credit upor the Count-y lie represented, andl wh< created the only slbecord that was ob served in the Convention. As the result of the Convention this State is now placed in a posit iom to say to the other States of' thi Union that she will most heartily joir hands over thec gap ciused by civi strife, and lend her feeble support ii restoring lasting peace to a dlividet country. T1hese wo-know to be th< sentiments of every haonest man il South Caroliaa. Voor'laces' .Speccia. The editor of the Indianapolis Sen tinel was present at the delifecry o ~Voothee~s'peech at Terre 1[autm some time since, and thus speaks o t~he effect of the flort: "Scarcely a murmur of applausi greeted hinm as lhe opened his speeh no word of encouragement fired hi heart as ho proeceded ; and he close< his oration amid as profound a sileno< as the grave which, in after time, wvil el so over his polit ical cnreer that ha4 so gracefully foreshadowed. Mr. V'or hees was disappointed. The nnec, of his speech betokened that.

If laphnel Se'umes and Braxton Bragg an vote for Mr. Greeley, we cannot well lerceive how any Southern man can see ny insuperable objection to doing the same hing. These distinguished mntot do nit >refer 'Mr. Greeley for anything he did be ore or during the war. They know that he vas against us firmly. But they support im now, because, when th i war was over. e favored the immediate restoration of ence and contenttntit, by acco.rding to the louth general amnesty and equality with lie rest of the nation, and because ie is ledged to tie Cincinnati platform, which amands the restoration of State aithority, nid denounces as unconstitulional the cen ralization of all power in the Federal Gov rtament ; and, firtlermore, because ie is ledged to such reforma as will purify the Ldministration, and putt a chock upon cor t.~ tegislation. Th'lese aire the reasons hat decIde the conduct of these disin-u tuishedt men, as they also coatrol the pre etrences of the Sout hern wvhite people, with he rarest possible exceptions.

I VINCbESAM. f [COMMUNICATCa.J Mr. Editor When South Carolina was under the leaidership of Mr. Calhoun, she belonged to E no national party, she was not of the Demo- t crAtic party, but at times she co.operated I with it. She never yielded obedience to d the orcek of the party whip: she generally v refused to send delegates to the Presiden-. t tial Nominating Conventions of the Demo. crntie.party, and ostontatiously, on geveral occasions, she actually east her vote against the nomninees of the party in the Electoral r College. -As a State, she was decide-dly op posed to the Whig party, and not until a few years prior to 1860, was she ever in full accord witli the Democratic party. Whens the Whig part, , through ies regular nominee, Gentbral Scott, was so overwhlelnr. ingly defeated, it ceased to exist andl dis.. < integrated, and from the debris, arose the Know Nothing par:y, to which many of the t Democrats of othier States and many in Souilk Carolina gave in their allegiance. The Knew Nothing party, the offspring of confused ideas, and discordant elements, wmas shart lived. The death of the Know Keihing party gave bjrth to the necessity of am new adtjustmuent of party organizations. From this time, the two new porties, as it. were, the one composed of many of the old Whigs, under the old name, D~emoratie, Ithe othier, compctsed of many DeEmoCrats, under the name of Republican, commenced their mission and their career. The ons educated from the text books of the North era expoundors of the ConstitutIon. The other. Iidoctrineted by the teachings of Southern statesmen, graduatly but onward.] Fly set tled dow n to measu res; stronglly see'. tional in their aims and their objects, and terribly practical In their results. As the defeat of Glen. Scott was the burial of the Whig party. so was the result of the war the death knell to St ate sovereignty, and yas so proclaimed and declared by the de feat of Seymour and Blair, and so aoknowl edged in South (Carolina, when her white people merged themselves into the Reform party of 1870, and the Democratic party1 now having noe existence, will cease to have a name after the 4th of March, 1873. The] R opublicani party has accomplished its mis-. ston, a nd only public pat ronage gives i6 ex istence, and its retainers are nmaking des perate efforts to hold its pairty adhesIveness I .by perpetrating lies to perpeluate It ofgan Ixatien. The dlefeat of the RepublIcan party this fall will be Its death as a farty organization, and on thnt occasion will1 spring up another party. When new prin ciples, new measures and new issues, will he eagounded, presented and decided. The Cincinnatti party is to be the miear.s to accomplhsh the much dlesired and devoutly to be wished for result, the defeat of the AdmInistration Ring. No newspar'ty lines until the old parties are disbanded, and two new parties are ushered into, existence. What will be the princIplesind 'mhat will be the isauds, Is a problem of the future.
