The Single ksinst. Tlie bugle blast has been sounded, nnd the Democrats of Ornugeburg are .summoned tobe ready. The call of our County Chairman, iu to-day's issue gives directions to our exertions, and shows the issues ?Vilich we arc now called upon to meet. The County Convention is called to meet on the second b'ulurday, being the 8th day of May. 'Ihe business for the Convention to perform will bo; first, to elect six delegates to attend the ?Statu Conven tion ill Columbia on the 1st of dune Ku'.v this is an important matter, for Ulis Convention will have grave and responsible duties to pcrlorm, and ihe best and ablest nu n in our county should bo sent. In the next place il will be tin I duly of < ur County Convention to discuss, und enme lo some d< Iii ite conclusion .is to the two-thirds rule which has heretofore 1 ecu governing Democratic Conventions, und which it is now proposed lo cluing . 11 has b<* 11 itc< mmended to < hangt the twodhirds rule to a majority iule, that is, to require hereafter in making nomicnlions for President simply a majority of thu votes of the Conven tion lo nominate instead of lwo.-?l inls of the votes as heretofore. Tbe Columbia Convention will have to decide this question, and therefore it should be discussed ;:i the Count) Convention in order Ihn! the delegates to ( 'olt;t:.! ;a. may < any the views ol their constitucnt.s.

This is n vexed question now * 1 i.- - c tiffed by the Slate piesti. Let the delegates to our County Convcnttou think over Ibis matter, i ud come to a correct conclusion a- t-> whether.u long or short campaign w< old be best.

When we state that the public morality of the country is not as high as it should be, we can hardly believe that we arc expressing a sentiment which will he seriously questioned by any one who carefully examines the sul ject. It may he true that the religious sentiment of the community, so far as external appearances are concerned, has improved. The church baa extended its domains, and large numbers arc rallying under its bnuuert; but is Iheru as exalted a moral lone as there was in years gun a by; or is the standard of public mor ality tts high as it .should bo ? We hardly think so. There is loo j much policy, und too little principle. Men grasp too eagerly tit the al mighty dollar, and private gain is th<> absotbing thought, with every body. The man is respected most who has the. largest purse. Nur is this all. ( rime is on the increase, which prove; thai the evil pr;domi nalcs over tho good. Bui it may be askod, what is. ih<; best wa* of correcting these evils, and improving the moral lone of the country ? We answer, by the proper rearing of tho young. Little can he done by attempting I > roar a fine brick edifice upon a tottering base. Wo iniist locdc to the foundation, and build it strong and deep.
