Full Attendance of Delegates -General Brat. ton Elected County Chia1irman-The Ou mernatorial Question--No Juno Nomnina tions.-InterestingDlscnssions-Electionof Delegates to the Different Conventions. Pursuant to the call of the Execu tive Committee, the Domocratic Coun ty Convention assembled In the Court House on Saturday at eleven o'clock. General Brattonu, County Chai rmani, called tile Conlventioni to order'. Hie said:. GENTLEMEN Oi' TimE CONVENTION1 When we met two years ago I deemed *it myl duty warnllQ yuigainist inldiffer' enice to thle(20 eltonl then3I pendin~g, as it was5 ft skirmlishi for' position for' the gr'eat 2ontest. of tis yearii. if thorough l'eorgantlizationi w)as imlportIant thlen, how mullch more s~o is it no0w' 1 31am 1happy1 to s1tt) that fth iniditi.ions5 are thlat 0our counlt y org1anizat ion was1 nev~ er' ill bette (2'condition1 thanii at1 tiis timei, and1( It need( never be, (aution1 ag'ainst pe'rsonial 1r 10oca1 pr'eferences or' dis sens~ions is unnliecessary. We mfust 4)onI sieir tile stupendous1 issues now lpre sented to tile 1peopl)1 of the Uit~ed States. The conlt.cst is between gov ernmenl~lt on1 one hianid and( the people1 01n tihe othier. The arr'oganlce of offiee wiche has alssumedO~ to taike the control of atihirs must be checked. Inu this crisis, if'the peoplo0 do nlot rise, if there ty has reached its y1 n icle nud is be glinin rapidly to ticlineC-then, inl deed, will thle pleople soon have do scendedoc to degradation. Thlis Angilo Saxon libert y, started aitIfl opposition01 and1( diflicuilty, was ait last esta blhished, an~d it finally landed Inl tils counitry. NOW, we haOve liberty Saicrificca to p~ar'ty. Our forefathlers built upa tem ple of liberty accordinlg to the mnost ad vanceed ideal yet attainued, nud settled .the question of tile right of the people to govern. Th'1e first struiggle wvas iln the~ conventionl of 1789. Thue iramers of otui system of' government then de voted thenmselves to tile importanit1 work of establishing a conlstitutional gover')nent They cast aside all per sontal considerations andh all desire for persional powver. Now, let us look at oiur present eonlditionl. The law is still tihe sanme. Thlere Is no0 power inlI the ofilcer-It is all in tile offie. Thbe 2ostitution, theo wriitten law of the lanld, hlas beenI amended. Certain forlns wore necessary to-these amend menlts, whlen tile people 3hould desire tiheil. And those people were them selves to make tihe amendmnuts. Thuns it will be seen1 that the real power, the ultimate scV.reggnty, is in thle people. The constitution not only settled the qjfestlin of sovereignty, butt establish 'ed certain formns of' governiment, and certain forms to be used when any chlanlg shotuld 110 needed in the ftunda mel iid law. The sovereign peop)le *made tile governmenit their creature. This colStittion wats theO most ad vancod form of liberty and govern ment known to the civilized wvorld. Blut a few -year's passed, and the party~ in power openily avowed that they had "cam ped outside tile conistitution." Tis they sought to justify by tihe ox. .traordinary bOnditiont of 'things then -existinug. That aet of' arbitrary power has5 been followed by others un t - il the questioni is no0W presenteod to tiloI -American people whetherl they will] - maintain tile liberties thety and their Iithor'e have fought for, or will givef uip this govermlnonit established by such stupendous efforts. We are in the mnidst of a great civil crisis. Thei gaeatest American general is about to be t-Ocalledl to the Presidential ehair. The questioh for the people0 is, Shall we supp r~ hmn AIl o outside of'the .conlst it tofl ~o-*~1 e still dwell 1 wlinits I e ~Titsthe treomend out ~tii us all. We, og' SFaiW 1d o0 * ei' juef r, iiueh in teres d ia its A usson usayother Wvr0 in a convention of those 11' iHlions. If the garrison is to be Ri irne'd to the old fortress of the Col stiltUt1i, t he people ilust do it. if'it Lerest ill this important subject do not start'with the people, Io leaders et goveri an1(d ililtailn the fortress 1i t11hm. They tiust oilleer that fortre with ien of their choice. The peop must meet Inl their clounttv convention in their clubs Ild amnon'g Iiheiselve lid lust talk about the danuger, to i cause of liberty. You can, if even bi ten or IwelveQ imeet together, do you duty to the Cause of constitutional Ii erty. Every Club must hold its pa ot' the Hues. have trespassed upo your tine, becauso these big questiot must, at last be settled by the peop themselves.

Major Woodward then arose and - said : IS Mi1. PR1ESIDET-Tlie longer I live and 1 1 the greater iny observation of men, the V more ami I impressed with the smallness i 'of gratn ess and the utter unreliability i )f and thorough insignificancy of ail human ( it afltirs. I have been perliaps a great ani hero-worshipper as any man in tio State ( and I still think that the sandards of num 0 hood aro higher hero than in any other of sotinkbu close eb:-ervation and stud'y , of ankidlhae taught me1 that ue all inii common, fromi the highest to the lowest, fare swayed by the leadhing sor'did em'o- 4 tions, and that man is ti~erofore, "'unco I ,weak and little to be trusted." Truth fulily thrcfore igiht 1 answer your in-. Is terr'ogator'y by saying that I amu no mnan's a man. That I have seen the folly of pin Sning my political faith to the coat-fail of any one, and that hcnceforth 1 intend to [t adopt the now pirevalent rule of looking a well to self-initerest b~y serving other 1)e0 1ie in just the same rtiit in wvhiich they serve me. But the qutestionl is asked y3 Whcn m will you supp)lort fo'r goveornor ? 0 [c I tinik tile question e.<ecoelingly unwise, 1 in fact irrelevant here, irrolevat because . you have just adopted a resolution do tOoclar'in git to be the sense of this conven- I] )r tion that no nomimations shatll be made in June. Now if we stood alone in this .matter it might be claimed as an open ~ question, but if the papers of the State .are to bo r;elied upon, a large miajority of I w t'1e counties hav'e already p~ronouned in! futoor of postponing the nominations- -so1 "" tiimt there is no doubt wvhat theo action of i 1'. the Columbia convention will be. Th'le I 3, position of this body then is this, we I Shereby enjoinm yon from voting for any ~body in June, but we nevertheless wish] IS to know whonm you intendi to support. I. 'The nme of a distiniguished son of1 Fairtiehlo has bn mnianoid in variousa qjuarter's. Should his fr'ienids concldd to iS urge hi., chdmia, personal relations and [o duty, to my county will man- e me rally heartily to his suipport. Bunt if the qucs tion is narrowed to llamgoodl antd Gary.- # 10 what then ? I do not believe thaot it wvill .c be so narrowed: really it is not so nowvi The material for Governors in South Caro 'lina is by no means liinted to those two Ymost excellent gentlemnen, and I appre ih end that several dark horses will be t~rotted out. If the KeiWs and Lburier an di several others are to b)e relied on, Gonerali SGary is already disastrously defeated and I. I hofre and believe that iha friends will Lnot at this time continue to urge him into a fruitless content. The p~robabilities of 10 this contingeney then are execedingly r'o a mote and your question is again narrowed r. to this: Being enjoined from voting for -anybody in Juno, atnd Gary havi ni beeon ~'guilty of politioal hari-hari, whom do yon t r- mntend to support, Jiageod or Gary ? yr Well, Mr. President, i nmust try and tin swer even this irrelevant question and I Y shall do it in my owui way. It' it is intend. -. ett, and I can sce no other meaning, t~hat *- we the people of Fairfield shall over-roach not only our county , bounds, but alsot oyestp helimits of general proiety , ihrfr the purpose of b'si1 lig up .d General H~agood at the expense of General i: ., Gary or of joining in the common hue e and ery that has yelped at the heels of SGeneral Gary from the mountatins to the a 'seaboard, then consider me out--for I am alwvrys for the undler dog in the fight. I gshall v'ot~o for him as surely as I go to the 08 convention. Mr. President, this whole t- matter is as I have said unwise, irrelevant, and should not have been Introduced I here. Peace and harmony are of the ut. t *most importance and we will lose noth. I g ing by cultivating chaity and forbearance t Stowards each other. Gary has his many - faulte but he also hiasfolldwing in the Ataito, y convention. Why will we unnecessarily I . irritate this element which hasj proven o'1 invalnable importane, to Doemeeracy heretofore. I do not say that lie Is or was n my choice for governor at this time, but C ~o I (10 recognize claims which he has upon V othe deoracy and I hops and believe t 0that there is honorable reward yet in I storo for him, but be that as it may, I a here enter my protest and I desire that I .,t1 may go out to the county that Fairfield f has got ,ne' soofo the old sobool who g rejrobates atlythlitg like rudeness in theJ milnners of her citizefis towards getle. mnen eitheriat honisor abybe 0. *has t rendered IA ny, opinioii o ?(lla our. fvihes to d anfpy an, the I Wgtt tthe t 6i act, I - 114han a a 'h 4 reic -ill make hiniasof fult in the cominlg 1ipeigt.

It was le business of the Convention to ho00s0 delegates who would carry out lie knowat wishes of the people. To ring the mattetr to a test, ihe offered he following resolution: Relsolved, Thatit. is the sense0 of this ontventionm that the delegates to the tate Conv'enioni be instructed not to 'ate for General Gary. Major Woodward said he thought It Do sevetre to inistruct delegates against nly man. H-e thought the resolutin ilght be modified, and yet express the snse of the present convention. He iso stated that for the jake of harmony e would decline the nomination as elegate to tihe State Convention. General Bratton then rose and said: We are inl thle midst of a grave and inportant crisis.
