After sundry aoiemfmenfs, a motion made by Mr. O. C. Jordaq that the Chairman of each delegation, hand in his rollo delegates and that the secretary then call the roll, was adopted. Upon calling the roll it was found that niutey-two delegates answered t» their names, which large attendance speaks well for the patriotic and loyal Democrats of Aikeu County, when it is taken into consideration that the rain ha«l poured in torrents all Wed nesday night and up to a iate hou: Thursday morning. - Upon motion of Mr. John F.

Editor Aiken Recorder". T1 ie 1m press ion seems to exist witfi many persona that tlie “Farmers’ Movement” necessarily antagonizes the minority which is composed of others thaii farmers. The object of the movement, as I understand it, is to introduce better methods both iu the State aud G’oupty governments, and in the management adopted in the Agricultural Uepartipent made on the farm* throughout the State. As farmers we propose to mept in con vention once a year, elect opr Board of Agriculture and make such recom mendations to the Legislature as in tiie judjjpsuient of the convention d ad vat: woul tiee the agricultural inter ests of the State. The establishment of an Agricultural College witli au experimental farm attached, it is believed would not only be the means of eduealinga number of young men from every poupty iu the State in the very best anti most approved methods if farruirflfiTtut thepxperiuientai farm cjuducittd on ihe intensive plan, when visited by farmers from other parts of the St^te would act as a stimulus to increased exertion and gradually tend to establish impreved modes of cultivation, $e. eor of course we all know that prosperi ty of the farmers does not itepend so much upon any legislation that may be brought to hear upon tho subject us upon ids individual management of lie resources ttt|iiscom nia bd.

Another very serious objectiou to it is, that we can not collect a poll tax for other than educatioual purposes,and while weal, admit that the present road law is » ban me, and that it would be much better for every mqn subject to road duty t<- pay one dollar than to be called en U work our public roads 12 days each year; yet our Legislature has been un- ible to make any satisfactory changi n the system without a change in tin •onsfitution. It has been urged tha' t would cost too much to have a eon- ititutioual convention, but in round lumbers,if we have 100,000 taxpayers, t vould not average more than fifty ents each. And then we have tin •.ompuls wy social equality of th< races, which has been pronounced un- lonstitutional by the United Stareh supreme Court, aud yet wo retain this noustrosity as a part of the Coustitu- ion of South Carolina. 1 say by alt means let us have a constitution oi usr own, one that we can take pride u and that we can teach our childrei love and respect.

Several successive winters were passed in constant battle. Day and night ho discharged upon the congres sional guardians of the treasury showers of campagno aud his volleys of oysters and canvas-back ducks. The siege progressed but slowly, yet he fagged not, but contin ued to moke friends at the capitol and to pelt the guardians of tho treasury with boned turkey and claret. Finally he car ried tho place by assault, and his claim was passed. But alas! the gallant cap- tote found himself no better off than lw- fovs. The expense of the siege had con sumed ell the fruits of capitulation. He had enriched several of his relatives, but he had well-nigh ruined himself. Jut then he disappeared from Wash ington. A few weeks after, the New York papers contained accounts of a noted yacht which had been sold to Capt. Corrie, but which was overhauled by Capt. Isaac Ryndcvs, then United States marshal, upon information that she was to be used in the slave trade. It seemed almost im possible that a vesasl so delicately fitted up and so expensively ornamented should be devoted to tho unlawful traffic of the “middle passage," and Marshal Rynders and his deputies felt a sort of sheepish mortification at having made the seizure. She consequently sailed away with flying colors and the good wishes of the United States officers, who had, while she was uariar doubt, feasted from her sumptuous terder. A few months later the astonish ing Intelligence was received that the yacht Wanderer, Capt. Corrie, had landed on Jookyl Island, near Brunswick, in Georgia, :«0 slaves, brought from the coast of Africa. This announcement created a great excitement at Washington, and sev eral confidential agent# were sent to Sa vannah to ascertain the particular©.
