Tho anniversary of "The Red shirts," which is to bo celebrated at Pendleton on thc twenty-third inst., promises to be ii very grand BUccess in every respect. Speeches oro expected from Gov.

Trains will in all probability bo arranged for, and beyond a .-ioubt tho meeting will bc one of the largest that will be held in tho up country during the pres ent campaign. The ladies are also invit ed to gi ve their presence, and the occnslon will be enjoyed as a basket picnic, to which ali who attend are requested to contribute. Pendleton is near tho corner of Anderson, Ocon?o and Picken* coun ties, and thia meeting will afford an op portunity fora voiy largo gathering from each of these counties. Th*? Democratic State Convention, which met in Columbia la?t Thursday, did ita work speedily, thoroughly nnd most felicitously. Thcro was nothing but harmony throughout its session, mid from Hie very beginning thora was a to tal absence of anything like n disposition for speech-making. In renominating the old State ticket and readopting tho old platform, tho Convention only regis tered tho edict of the peoplo, but it waa dono in iOi.h a worthy and unanimous munner AU to command the highest compliments from ono end of the coun try to the other. Its action has hushed tho rumors that there were factions in tho Democratic party, and shows that tho organization throughout tho State is in thorough tact and harmony. Tho re sult is certain, and tho State now has tho assurance that we will have two yeors moro of the wiso and judicious adminis tration with which our State baa been bleat under tho Democratic party. ? The Radical State and Congressional Conventions met in Columbia on Wednesday, tho 7th instant, and from all appearances beforehand it must have been a very poor show. The Convention will pretty cortainly renominate the Democratic State ticket, although tho Washington politicians have been anx ious to have them nominate a full radical ticket from Governor down. Tho Repub licans of this Stato realizo the hopeless ness of such an undertaking as running a Stato ticket, and very sensibly refrain from enacting such n farce. In this Congressional District, however, it is thought they will nominate E. M. Bray ton, tho present revenue, collectoi, against Coi. Aiken ; and if so, we may expect a lively canvas, which will re sult in Mr. Bray ton's defeat by about ten thousand majority.

The organized enemy with banners living who appeared before you but yesterday, and wits vanquished, may renew the at tack to-morrow, in some moro insidious and successful manner. Even in thc sense of security which we indulge may lurk tho g rea J r danger. Wherefore in the name of tho victories that you have won and in tho hope of those yoi lo be achieved, in tho name of a redeemed, re generate mid grateful people, in the name ol' humanity, of civilization and common decency, let mo beseech you to allow no root of bitterness to sp lng up amongst you.

Manning, of Clarendon, nub mitted the report of thc Committee 'J:? Platform timi R?solutions, as follows : The Democratic party of South Caro lina, in convention assembled, announces the following as its platform ol prin I ci pies; We reiteiate oiir ?cceptaiice, lil ?"effect good faith, ol'the thirteenth, fourteenth aud fifteenth aiueiidineuts to the Federal constitution. Accepting and standing upon them, we turu from thc Bettled and final past to the great living and momen tous issue* of the present and the future. We reaffirm thc platform of principles announced hy tho National Democratic party assembled at St. Louis, and in ac cordance with the declaration of that platform und tho uttorances and acts of our distinguished leader, Wade Hamp ton, we call upo;, all of our fellow-citi zens, iricspective of race, color, or pre vious condition, to unite with us in con tinuing tho work of relorui and redemp tion inaugurated oy the Democratic par ty of South Carolina, for it In evident that substantial and lasting reform ls im possible, within the ranks of the Repub lican party of this State. We have charged and convicted thc Republican party with urraying rac< against race, creating disturbances ant fomenting difficulties ; with prostituting tho elective franchise, tampering wit! tho ballot box and holding unfair ant fraudulent elections ; with having accu ululated an enormous debt, mismuuaget thc finances and injured the credit of th Stute ; with levying exorbitant taxes am squandering them when collected, thu wringing from thc toil and livelihood cj thu honest poor man of thc Stato a larg per centum of his hard earnings, withou giving, in return, any compensatio therefor, and hopelessly involving i <lebt a majority of the counties of th State. lu management of our penal and chai ?table institutions was a shame and adi grace. We charge its legislation as demora ?zing, partisan and disgraceful ; und tl venality and corruption which charade ized every brunch of the governmen executive, legislative anti judicial, : having no parallel in the history of n tions. It created a multiplicity of unneccc Bury and useless office*, complicated their system and unnecessarily expo sive, and cnn never purify itself, gi good and impartial government, or hy moral force and character exercise, in full sovereignty, the luw of tho land.

Gary Edgefield, tho remainder of the re of thc committee was taken up serie The resolution of Mr. l'.nist in rein to the unity of the Democratic party adopted. The resolution of Mr. Aiken relativ immigration was laid on the table, the following adopted : Resolved, That for the developmei our growth as a people, and of oui sources as a State, a bureau of immi tion and agriculture should bo e? lished, having for its object tho euc ngemcnt of, and holding out ind incuts to tho honest and industrious grants from other countries to a amongst us, and designed to .st i un an increased and improved productic whatevermay be grown upon our i and we recommend to the General scmhly tho speedy enactment of laws vi will found such a bureau up permanent and practical basis, and vide for ita ready and activo open to the attainment of this deairac-le In reference to the resolution of Tracy, the recommendation of the > mittue was adopted, as follows : While we approve of the princ contained in thc resolution of Tracy, of Colleton, in relation to legislation in this State, yet wo re mend no action thereon, for the re that thc same princliples are fully nouueed in the platform of 1876, again reiterated in the platform herc reported. The committee recommended tho resolution of Mr. Woodward be la the table. Adopted. Thc resolutions of Mr. Tillman ?ive to calline a constitutional coi lion were recommended by the con tee to be laid on the table.* Mr. Tillman opoko in behalf o resolutions, and said that Radio, came into power in thia State wi constitutional convention, nnd fr, for ns a constitution which was the of carpet-baggers, scalawags and diers, under which they have ruled ruined us for the last ten years, ll not wish to mineo mattera, and sai platform. was too long. Platform not carry elections. Georgia rede herself in 1870 with a platfc.m abo inch and a half long, and Georgia day more respected at Washingtoi tho North than any other Sou State. While North Carolina wa deavoring to redeem herself throne influence of Young Men's Christin Hociatinna tho people of Georgia claimed it from thc nouso tops that gia was their country and they int t? rule it. Let us follow the exam our friends across the Savannah, by their party organization, and a plan for fixing the Democratic firmly in power in this State. Tho recommendation of the corni was adopted and Mr. Tillman's r ti ou.? laid on the table. On the question of tabling Mr. A resolutions, Mr. Aiken said he th this convention should give some c sion to its views as to tho war clair th eso claims would bear as imper [dace in ino next ^residential can as the bloody shirt did in tho l?u?t all over this State, and right h Columbia, aro clamoring to Congr Say mont for properly destroyed: . herman's march through thin Sta) swearing that they resided lu th< ?luring tho whole war, never did aid or countenance the Confederacy, and fe* maincd loyal lo *he Federal government daring all that time. About 45-i of these claims have been sent to Congres*, r.nd already are thc Northern and \\ estent States adopting planks in their platforms touching incne Southern war claims. These claims arc mainly in thc hands of Northern persons, yet it is charged that they are being urged by Southern men. This convention should adopt some measure condemnatory of these South ern war claims. Mr. T. C. Gaston, of Chester, favored the udopl'cM* of Mr. Aiken's resolutions. Mr. G. D. Til I mari, crt' Fdgpfield, also favored the adoption of Mr. Aikens resolutions. Mr. J. H. Evins, of Spartanburg, said lie did not attach the importance to the resolutions evinced by others, as Con gress had passed a resolution to refer all these claims to a court of claims. What tho Republicans ure harping on is that the Southerners loyal to thc Confederacy will have their war claims paid as soon as the Democrats get possession of Vite na tional government, and not the claims of Southern loyalists. Mr. T. H. Cooke, of Greenville, moved that thc recommendation of the commit tee be laid on the table. A division was called for, when Mr. Cooke's motion was adopted. Mr. Cooke then moved thc adoption of Mr. Aiken's resolutions, which was agreed to after striking out the laut reso lution. Mr. E. II. Murray, of Anderson, moved to striko out tho premablu to the resolu tions. Adopted. On motion of Mr. James Oallison, of Edgefield, thc resolutions were then laid ou the table. Tho committee recommended the adoption of the following substitute for Mr. M. P. O'Connor's resolution relativo -lo the excise laws: Resolved, That this convention view? with tho deepest concern the troubles, which have arisen in the upper portion of the State in the enforcement of thc excise laws of tl 3 United States, relating to illicit distilling of whisky, and is ex tremely solicitous that this Bubjecl should bo fairly considered by Congress, and some law devised in amendment of, 01 supplementary to, the present systeu that will remove tho existing causes o: irritation, alleviate tho present troublei of our people, insure obedience by vir tue of a recognition of thc justice of tb? laws, and restore peace and quiet when discontent now reigns. Aud as prelimi nary to a change of these laws, we in voke his Excellency It. li. Hayes, Presi dent of tho United States, to extend am neaty unto all persons in thia State win have violated them. Resolved, That this convention coin mends with entire approbation tin course which baa been pur0ued in tin lute sealion of Congress by our diatin guiahed United States Senator Hon. M C. Butler, as well as by bis Democrats colleagues, the Hon. D. Wyatt Aikci and Hon. J. H. Evins in the House o Representatives, and the State now call: upon them in their respective spheres o duty to exert their influence and abilit; to effect the desired modification of th excise laws, and secure for our pcopl the relief which is so much needed an? sought for. Mr. A. C. Carlington, of Greenville said be did not think thc convention wa called upon to endorse tho action of th Senator and Representatives in Congres.? as that was a matter between them an their constituencies. He favored au eu dorsement of their course on the excis laws, but he nor thc convention wer prepared to endorse their whole cours in Congress. Mr. O'Connor said the scopo and in tout of thc resolutions were plain., and h did not think they admitted of contrac tion. The recommendation of the committ waa adopted. The report of the committee as whole, as amended, was adopted. Mr. A. C. Carlington, of Greenvilh offered tho following resolution, wfric was unanimously adopted, amid loud ai plauso and booming of cannon : Resol oed.

Mr. J. A. Law, of Darlington, mov-: that Governor Hampton and the otlu nominees bo notified of their homiu?ti?i Adopted. The President appointed Messrs. J. A Law, G. L. Buist and J. L. Manning committee for that purpose. After a brief interval, the commute returned, escorting Governor Hamptoi General Hagood, Captain Thompsoi Colouel Youmans, Colonel Sims an General Moise. The President .'neu introduced as tl invincible nominee of the Democrat: party for Governor of South Carolin Iiis Excellency Wade Hampton. After the loud and long applause hr subsided, Governor Hampton' said : Mn. CH A i HM AX AND GENTLEMEN C THE CONVENTION : I would be wantir in all proper sensibility if I did not r cognize the unexampled unanimity wil which you havo done me the honor call me to be your standard-bearer agai It is true that you did not call me now i you did two years ago, when all over o? dear old Stato evon tho boldest scarce dared to hope, when we were making fight almost as a protest to save the ci*; ?-?alian of our country.

I have not changed my opinion i that point, and from some points view, I almost regret that a ticket w not bo offered by them in opposition tho State officers. But I eay bei whether there shall be opposition or n< I pledge myself to devote my time AI energy and ability to assist in carryii the Legislature of South Carolina, say hero to the represent?.ives from i paru of the State thpt in whatov means I can assist you, if you will on call upon me, I will respond prompt! even more promptly than in the li campaign ; becauso, as you all know, is much more important that wo ebon have a good I-?gis!-t?re thar, a Dow eratic Governor. I trust that voa -.-.iii go back and wo from now until the election closes, ?h we may cany the legislature, and th wo may carry our Congressional eh tions. Gentlemen, I thank you heart! ?nd cordially for thc compliment yi have paid me. I can make no pledges?

Tho President said the modesty of tho Stale Treasurer was equal to his merit, as he was nut present. On motion, the convention took a re cess for one hour. RECES8. After a recess of an hour the conven tion was again called to order by Presi dent Kennedy, who directed the atten tion of tile body to article 9 of the con stitution, providing for the election of a S .te Executive Committee. Considerable discussion ensued as to the method of raising the committee, when Mr. Shepard, of Edgefield, moved that a recess o?* fifteen* f?r?rrutes be taken for the purpose or selecting three per sons from each Congressional District to serve on said committee.
