Wednesday Morning, May 10,1671. The Convention, J ti ?'D a '.yili be seopi this body iissombled nt tue boat o? ll o'clock A. M., iori yos tordrty. The Hon.''$t..',t>..' Porter'''wfcs elected tho permanent President. Mry* Por tor, apon taking, the chair, made a strong and Appropriate address. The Convoutiou is composed of an able, in? fluential and earnest body of. citizens, from every eootion of the State. Thu9 far it has scarcely done more than to prepare for business. On yesterday, Colonel Luthers, of Charleston, and the Hon. C. W. Dudley, of Marlboro, were the principal speakers. The point? to be made by the Convention ?ill be de? veloped more fully to-day. ? THE THOTH. -The Sa va n n nh Rep ubli can, in a well-timed article on the real views of Southern conservatives, whose opinions it knows and rcpreeents. states its conviction that the sentiments of: ntaoty-nine out of every hundred of that class may be found under three heads, briefly as follows: 1.. African slavery is forever abolished; 2. Equal civil rights t? alt citizens; 3. Un ivers til suffrage re cognized and acquiesced in; and the f?? trelo determine whether it shall be per petuatea :Pp: repealed./ The Republican .donn ndt raisstute when U speaks of these propositions as rnooting almost universal acceptance among intelligent- Southern men, those who bore the brunt of the rebellion, and who now have everything at stake in ibo proper government C? their section of the country. This well considered statement is ia direct opposi? tion to tho assertions of partisan enemies of the South, that the Southern people would re-establish shivery jf .they, hod a chanco; that they will never admit the j principle ot equal rights to all classes o! pesionB, and will shoot down colored men at the .baljpt-boxes, unless the lattor.are protected by United States soldiers. v WEST pn SOUTH ?-W<i oro glad to sec fhtf^ '' sympithl z? with the view upon whion we have ?uue insisted, as to the relative superiority ol the Southern States over those of tin far \WeeU os-a point of emigration fd. .

I am glad to ace around me many of the good men and tfuo. whom South Carolina in her better da was glad to confido her honor, ond wi .are now as faithful os they ever ha been. My only regret is, that tho oct sion is not more happy and pleasai To rebuke corruption in high plac? and to be obliged to take > measures save ourselves from irretreivable ruin, a duty by no means pleasant. As it I: been placed upon na, let ns dlsoharge manfully and with fidelity. Tho funt mental law of the State and the Unit States secures to the people the right assemble peaceably, and to Beek by lawful means' redress for their grit anees. We are assembled in such manner and for snob a . purpose. It admitted by fair-minded men of all pi ties that there are great publie gri< anees, and that by their presence, tb< bas been oalled into, exiatanoe suoi Convention as tb in-a Convention t i precedented in all the history of t t State-a sConventiou to secare to p ' selves a proper sh aro in a-repr?sent?t government. We have no legislat Sower; we are simply nn advisory bot ul we can inquire and investigate; can collect and embody investigation; 1 oan recommend to the people, who bi conferred npon ns this trust, such m 1 saree as we deem necessary for th security in. the future. Let there - fairness and justice. If we "nothing I tem?ate," let U9 set down naught in i i lice. The first great wrong is tho i orease in the pahlio debt-au extra 1 dinary increase, as is admitted on i hands. The people of the State entitled to know and must know , amount of that debt. They must kc . what is the aotual as well as the cool ; gent liability of tho State of Sooth Ce \ lina. That the application of the pnl j moneys have been oxtravagant, wild i r profligate, admits of no doubt, it without question; and, perhaps, neve ? the history of a people was there au x atanco where this recklessness and j fligaoy was moro shamelessly nppan 3 Corruption vaunts itself iu the lighi j day, and assumes to itself tho gar! honesty. If these tiling J are not cb cc and rebuked, they will result not onl, " demoralization, hat in bankruptcy 1 ruin. The credit of the State is de * to none than it itt to us. It lins been traditional policy to keep and hold - public credit, not only onqtiestioi 1 but unsuspected. We mean uot rep - atton, but wo do muan openly aud iu . most solemn manner, to give notice tho public credit of South Carolina bf en strained tcTthe m^^eX^^^^^^^ and that whatever Obligation?r fln^c?erB tato, U?oy ni UH t take thom at their oxi? peril. ?Leime admonish jon td-be ttro?1 -rfnt?t arid wiso; to ovoid party poliUos; F$ every fa ir minded &isu who.ia will? ing to pu thia eeal of disapproval on, cor rt?ption, or I? willing to ?o with : ol Jn correcting abu sea, wer hove a^rfllcomipg 'hand. Those mon aro cur monds, nebr Bhould be welcomed to oar ranks. Tho late war left this peoplo almost itripover iah od. .Upon tho issue of the war, one. of tho most valuable species of property ' -more than one-half of what was left to\ the. people-was stricken out at a blow. Never wore there a peoplo on thu fuce of (be earth who wore moro entitled to sympathy than tho peoplo of South Carolina. In the natno of that people, muoh abused, almost ruined, I call upon you to bring to y&ur uid your uobltiBt efforts at- (his lime. Colonel Richard Lathers then ad? dressed tho Convention. Referring to the Sterling Fund bill, with which his name had been connected, he said, re? ferring tb his visit to Columbia during the session of the Legislature, I came to Columbia with a great desire to do somt - thing for tho bonds of the State. This bill was then before the House. I ex? amined tho bill, and saw that although it might coat tho State more that it should to uegotiute the loan, that it was u good thing. I was. so rejoiced to seo tho bright prospects of the puasago br this bill, that I called upon the Governor, and made certain propositions to him. I proposed that a committee consisting of the Governor of the State, Baring Bro? thers, of Loudon, Brown Brothers, of Now York, and Mr. G. A, Trenholm, of Charleston, should be appointed to ne? gotiate the loan. Tho Governor necopt bo a groat favor if I would remain over ed my proposition, and said it would a day or two and address two committees. I proposod, then,, that the committee suggested by me should hold over for twenty years, the limit of the bill; Tho groat objection to the bill in its present form was, that no one. knew the extent of the public debt of the State, and knew still less about the men who were to make the negotiations for this fund. lu support of bis views, he road tho pro? test of the members of the House and Senators against tho passage of the bill, and added: "What possible evidence aould we use tho more strongly to oppose this loan?" The fire loan stock of 183i Was taken up aud a oomparisou drawc between the pledge then made by th? State Government and that to be mad? under tho bill. Tho former had beer vinlntad. and the moneys pledged ha< been appropriated for oilier purpure? bj the present Legislature/ . He was amaze* "that those scoundrels ou the othe side, who were denouncing this meeting should do so merely in order to get mor money for their own uses." He referrei tb the system of "shinning," and enteret into a lucid explanation of it. Th State Government bad been pursuing i system of that kind for the past th re years. Accounts of corruption, etc. had gone North and tended to put dowi the price of bonds. Lands had beoi purchased in large quantities at euoi mons pricos, to give away to the favoi ites of the Government and the Stat bad boen a loser to tho amount c $G00,OO0. He referred to. certain table which had appeared this morning in -'certain Radical sheet,'* and exuuse the partial incorrectness of his ow tables, by asserting that it was uv derstood nt the time he made them, thn it. was difficult to get at the tacts poi feet ly. The other side bad given thor, a mas? of figures ot the laut moment which, be> thought, were "flxnd up. The assets had all been marked up, an . the liabilities all marked down. Th assets of the State had gone down froi 8490,000,000 to $183,000,000, and til liabilities were increased $2,000,001 i The taxes were increased many handre t fold, , He dosed by advising that tl , committee bold over as, a permaoei . bpdy, if not in oontiuuous session, an gave notice that, ho would introduce ; resolution to that effeat. Snob, a bod I in attendance at tho seat of G o vern men would have a salutary effect iu.olioek.in i all manner of abuses., i Col. J. P. Thomas nod Hon. ? P.

At 2 P. M., the Convention took a re? cess until 4 P. M. Atrium o os SESSION. Tho President read a communication from J. L. Nengle, Comptroller-General, slating that he had seut copies of hist annual report, and niuo circulars, show? ing the condition of thu funded debt cf he State Mr. C. W. Dudley, after a few prefa? tory remarks, demonstrating the unwise steps which the peoplo of the State had taken in reference to their relation to the General Government, tho refusal to adopt the fourteenth amendment, etc. and allowing the utter inadequacy of this Convention or tho tax-pnyers of the State to effect any relief from tho evils that oppress us without the co-operation of the colored peoplo, and speaking hopefully of their willingness to assist and not justly, introduced the following resolutions, wbmCPwero referred to the Executive Oonrmitteo: Resolved, That the peoplo of the State meditate no resistance whatever to the Government of the United States, and intend in respect thereto to condnct themselves as poacoful, law-abiding citi? zens. Resolved, That however distasteful the reconstruction mensures have been to the Southern mind, we now view them oe finalities, and recognize the duty of obeying tb er? in letter and in spirit; aud, nB far as in our power lies, to make that duty pleasant. Resolved, That we look to time and to peaceful agencies, only, for the solution of any difficulties toot now exist, or in tho administration of tbe publie offices pf this State; and we entertain the belief that all the changes and modifications that may be desired in that connection Can and will be effected by the quiet in? fluence of an enlightened public opinior. Resolved, That the exigencies of the times demand from the -people othef ef? forts than those intended to promote the success of any "party," their true in? terests consisting in uniting with good citizens of any aud all parties in pro rooting the welfare of every section and of ovory class of tbe people. Resolved, That wo deprecate any and all local disturbances arising out of the irritation consequent upon the supposed mal-admiciBtration of pnblic affairs in the State, and we.appeal to the people to respect the laws and to look to them only for the redress of their grievances. Mr. F. F. Warloy offered resolutions, that the Convention exhort the people of the State to abstain from all sots of violence, and to roly upon tho law and other proper agencies for the redress of those grievances, of whioh they justly complain;, that bis Excellency tho Go? vernor having expressed a desire to ap Eoint good men to office, it is but due to im that the citizens of each County should confer with bim fully in reference to the fitness of his appointees to office; that we recommend to the peoplo throughout the State, without roferenoe to-political parties, to assemble and peti? tion the Legislature to repeal useless and obnoxious laws.

M uit DH it IN S PAUTAN nunc-We aro in? formed that on the night of tho 4th inst., a party of disguised men made a raid on the plantation of Rev. Dr. Jones, ip Glenn ' Springs Township, Spartanburg County, and murdered a respectable colored man, named Wallace Fowler. It appears that a number bf disreputable characters-colored and wbito- resided near tho place, and it is generally'be? lieved ia the community that they are tho murderers. A sensational story was started, that cou!* of ?rc were placed, upon the breast of Wallaco and that other outrages were committed in tho vicinity; but this is denied by gentlemen from that section of country. The number of Die . Modenxceli, for May 10, is the handsomest issue of this great fashion publication that has yet reached us.

Beside? . -thtB, there is a huge diagram sheet, with all manner of patterns traversing itc surface, for the making up of both ladies' and children's drosses.
