The question i rcg has, however, been well discussed through ; Jd,r our columns, (not editorially,) ?ind we pre-1 j 01 sume there arc few intelligent men in thel^.p District who have not already made tin an i n i -- j J opinion. It ouly remains for tbetn now! on to declare it. " tbe n If the opposition to this movement had been half as able as it has been ficrco and unscrupulous, those who originated it and Kjr those who have favored it would have been Moi utterly demolished and damned before now. M01 But we have vet to see a dignified and con- 1 stat elusive argument against it. It has been j denounced, not reasoned againct. Its sup-1 j porters have been denominated deinacromies. I infc o o ? oflice-seekers, spoilsmen, and so on. These Por pitiful substitutes for argument only show the lack of argument It would perhaps j be well for a certain class of editors and Phi newspaper writers to consider that such ep- ear] ithets as "demagogue," and the like, sound ^ harshly when applied to their fellow-citizens in South Carolina. A too liberal indul- sny genco iu their repetition may embolden Pet them to resort to fitill harsher words, and had thereby give occasion to the "demagogues" ^a fn dmtv tlmt "4 - ? 1 Scl. uuvu ?..uv him <ii? nv;i> cvwmus hdu era- j vena. Wo claim as much patriotism and for political integrity for the Convention party wil as we coneedo to their opponeuts, and those ^ who deny it are themselves demagogues. But the time has passed over when the 8a?) people of South Carolina were to bo fright- tioi ened from an expression of their sentiments be or the execution 6f their purposes by tho cry of "demagogue." Tho Domocraev. or ~ WW - <J01 such portion -of them as havo not yet <je(i thanked God that they are not as tlioso of publicans and sinners of other slavebolding hay States, will send delegates to Cincinnati. J They do not pretend to represent the Slate, ?tboy pretend only to represent those of |at, the State who consider the Democracy of p?? the South, and that portion of it in Khe kiti North that ba| manfully stood for the Con- ^ stilution/lii worthy of their, fellowship, and i"S. ; , . . - - w ? oniy a aozen/ or even DUt one, t>e found MV entertaining this foiling towards tlie Detn- otb qprucy, tbeybave tlie right to be^represented ( pih iu councU^ wjtlioql,being subjected to t real or affected suspicion* of impure mo* ?| tives.
