l-l . .. ?? . COLUMBIA, Wednesday Morning-. Amil 15.1868. ; x-L , ., ' ? 'J, Tho Late Democratic Convention oT t , . tkle State. . r- We are graUfied to observe the success of the Democratic movement in this State! In all parts of South Carolina tho spirit of tho people iii - aroused, and the conservative action of the Convention has united tho .white men of the State, and excited tho sympathies of a number of tho colored people. We nat ici pat o the .best resolto. Here, vre are glad to say, wo are thoroughly organized; and we intend still further to perfect our organization, and soon wo expect to receive any number of "African auxiliaries." We are informed that it is in contemplation toi form co? operativo D?mocratie Clubs among the colored people, many of whom aro awakening to their true interests. Let tito colored people throw their leaders and tricksters, white and . black, overboard, and embark their fortunes in tho Democratic ship. Hear what the New York Herald says; observe the effect of our action , abroad: "Tho proceedings of the Democra? tic Convention held in Columbia, South Carolina, on the Sd inst, and its address to the oolozed people of the State, show a great and healthy . Change in publie sentiment With the exception of very few of the old file-eaters and fire-eating pres* of tho ' Charleston Mercury stamp, the peo? ple] everywhere realize their changed , condition and the necessity of a broad and liberal polioy towards tho negroes. They are adopting, in fact, thc policy wisely proposed by Wade Hampton immediately after tho war closed. It would haye been mnoh better for them had they cheerfully adopted it before, but, to use a com? mon expression, better late than never. Old things have passed away, and the ancient chivalry of South Carolina have the good sense to ac? knowledge it. Among the resolu? tions adopted by the Convention, wo find this sentence: We recognize the colored population of the State as an integral element of the body politic, and as snob, in person and v ' property, entitled to a full and equal . protection under the State Cons ti tn - ' ' tiou and laws; and that as citizens of South Carolina, we declare our will? ingness, when we have the power, to grant them, under proper qualifica? tions as to property and intelligence, the right of suffrage. ' What more should be required? What moro liberal or sensible than this declara? tion? Tot our Jacobin Congress re , fuses to restore these people to their place in tho Union. The address of tho Convention to tho colored people and the advice - given are in excellent taste, and show the anxiety of the superior race and the old master class to improve and co-operate with their late slaves. After appealing to the colored people in the most sensible and eloqnent manner, the address concludes with this earnest and honost warning: {.'Remember that your race has nothing to gain and everything to lose, if yon invoke that prejudice of race which, since the world was made, has ever driven tho weaker tribe to the wall. Forsake, then, the wicked and stupid men who would involve you in this folly, and make to yourselves friends and not enemies of the white citizens of South Carolina.' " _ It is proposed now to try and hang James Buchanan. One of the im? peachment managers has got hold of a now story from a "South Caroli *. niau, of unquestionable personal honor, and of the best standing at home," showing that thu ??r?r*6ij? dent was guilty of a heretofore un? known deed of perfidy in the matter of Fort Sumter, seven years ago. "If the story is not forco," says tho manager, ?*I hold that we ought yet * to try and hang James Buchanan." Hungarian troops ore hereafter to garrison Hungary, and in this and other moasnros which have been taken to conoiliato that country, Aus? tria shows tho greatest wisdom. Hungary, once rebellions, is now believed to bo quito firmly allied to Austria-a judicious attention to the wishes of her people having changed hatred to loyalty. The Charleston llews ?nd th? Ut? Democratic Convention The JTt?ios is not disposed to accept thc ??t?uu o? vii o. Ia wo Domourmio Convention-deolines to call it ovou a Convention^ This, ?ow, is a mat? ter of taste, which we are not disposed to argue. Th? News may call it what it may ?boojt? to call it. Bat when the Nows goes on to say that the Convention waa not "the exponent of the views and opinions of the people of the State," we take issue with our Charleston ootemporary. We have reason to believe that the action of the Convention does repre? sent the sentiment of the great ma? jority o? the people of the State; and I W6-have, further, the proofs of ii In almost every District of the State, except Charleston, meetings have been held, heartily endorsing the Convention. And even in Charleston, the News may soon find ont, that a powerful sentiment sustains the Con? vention movement. Let os inform our friend of the News, that we are mov? ing on triumphantly. But Charles? ton, says the News, was not repre? sented. If not represented, that was the fanlt of Charleston. She had the game opportunity that the other Dis? tricts had. If Paris wants to be Franco, why, at least, did not Paris try? _ By our latest mail advices from France, we learn that the cry of " Vivela R?publique," which produced suoh a terror in Toulouse a few weeks ago, has also been heard in Bordeaux, whero a body of men marched through the streets, carrying a red flag and shouting tho dreadful Bo publican watoh-word. As at Tou? louse, BO at Bordeaux, the military authorities were promptly at hand, and several persons were killed and wounded and many arrested. In a nnmber of the minor towns, disaffec? tion is showing itself, but everywhere, the quiokest means of. crushing it are put in force. The inciting cause ol all these troubles is the new military bill which the Emperor has forced through the Corps L?gislatif, and .which bears with unprecedented se? verity upon the entire population ol France. While theseflnovements are showing themselves in the Provinces, the Imperial authorities are more watchful than ever over Paris, and there is no doubt that the least out break there would be treated with nc less severity than the Emperor oxer oised on the 2d of December, 1851, Franoe has already learned that she has a master who does not intend tx have his power shaken. - ???...?? The Norfolk (Va.) Journal thinks that it would be a good thing to sene some of their men of talent and oha racter to lay before the people of thi North the actual condition, feeling and wants of the people of tho South ern States. It complains that thesi are very seriously misunderstood an< very grievously misrepresented b; tho correspondence of the Northen radical newspapers, and that ver great good could be done if facts oi both sides could be better undei stood. The New York Times believe this to be true. Muoh might bo ac oomplished toward producing greate harmony of feeling and of actio; in the two sections, if their peopl understood each other better. Bc tho Cp?uiug ui a Presidential cam paign is not a favorable time io entering on such a work. Party iv terest8 and feelings over-ride everj thing else._. , . ._ Thomas C.

Seven of ns came to Columbia Tues? day, to look after our corn and bacon. We presented our tickets, and. they laughed at na. Thank Qod, we have hot voted yet. To-day, seven more votes will go in for tho Domoi ;atio ticket. Our old friends, the whits people, told ns we were deceived. We re fused to believe them; we trust? ed the Yankee people, and believed in their corn and bacon tickets. We have tried and they have not stuck np to their promises.

Society: Whereas, this Society has over choriahed as an ornament to the honorary roll of "Alpha, Phi, .?psilon," every true lover of honor, virtue and trnth, and aa a bright jewel among tho Alumni of "Alpha, Phi, Epsilon," all those who have added to the genius which na? turo bas lavished ont upon her sons, the mystic mandate that those three words hold out to all who come vto sit and leam; and whereas, we, as a band of brother?, are willing, yea, even anxious, with all true brotherly affection, ever to extend the hand of amicitio sacrum to those who are not unmindful of that solemn vow-which, though implied, is yet binding as one made alike to God and man-to receive and accept as a guide to honor and to fame the teachings of this mystic mandato; but whereas, with feelings no lees sensitive, this Society deplores all manner of degra? dation, while sho would ovon mourn over those who have proven false to their own race, unloosed every tie of honor, every golden chord of virtue, and left the re? maining fragmenta to trail in the dust an? der foot, or stiffed in thoir throats the smooth flow of eloquence by the repeated utterance of base and subtle falsehoods, thereby sinking themselves, as lt were, into some deep abyss, into which the bond of amlcitio sacrum refuses to extend; and whereas, in tho eyes of tho public, generally, and more especially in the eyes of this Society, THOMAS J. ROBERTSON and FRANKLIN J. MOSE8, JB., late regu? lar members, have, iu all these respects, lowored thoir dignity and station as true gentlemen of Carolina; and whereas, on this account, tho names of tho said Thos. J. Robertson and Frank. J.

J. Robertson and Frank. J.
