THE LATE DEMOCRATIC 60NVENTION ATHE CHARLESTON DEMOCRACY.
It is probable that many of our readers i
awaro that a movement bas been set on footloading citizens of Charleston, and endorsed b;large and rcspcctablo meeting, looking to- anotlConvention of tho Democratic party of this Stato be held in Columbia on Monday next. Timovement has grown out cf the suggestion msby the Central Executive Comniittco of EdgefhDistrict, as to thc propriety of calling a geneconvention, '-to ascertain tho sonsa of tho par:as to thc right of suffrage and other gravo quitions, touching thc interests of the State"this snggealion, made to thc Central EsccutiCa-muiitlee appointed by tho April Convention,was replied that it was, in thc judgment ol' ILcommittee, neither "wise or proper to invito a
other Convention of tho.puople of the Statethis time." Tho oouunitteo also expressed th<views iu this manner :
"Tue Conveulion rcconlîy assembled, represorcd, we believe, the scatimcut of thc Slate,any other Une of policy now would be disa*lrolo thc uuiiy and harmony so ntcteeary to sucoe:Ibo resolutiei adopted by that Convention wbased upon thc right of each Stale to regulate ÍiteaLf tba question of franchis;.*, and in givingexpression of what they believed to bo tho o;.iiouH cf our people, the Convention acted delihruleiy, calmly und, under tho circumstances, wil¬ly. Tho adieu of the Convention moats with a
proval every where in the ranks of the Dtrnocrniparty, -.nd wo ave disposed to abido hy tho acti<of tito Convention as poiitic, prudent cud just-
Notwithstanding these declarations, and tho a
quiescence with which these views of tho StaCentral Committee were received in every otbscotian ef the State, tho matter waa still agitatoia Charleston, and urged by the Mercury with i
thc force and ability for which that journal hover been disiiuguishod. Tito result was a mcî
ing of tho citizens about t:n days ago, lo conniditho proposition made by the Edgefiold Commiltcand tho passage by that meeting of certain resoli
tiona, which are her» appended, in order that jutico may be fully accoidod to their views:
Whereas, Tho white people of South Carolina-aotwithstanding they are without political pow«or inSuoaéc in tho affairs of the United Stat&¿, oe
are held by force of military power under politeil disabilities, and. subjected to the political coi
trcl cf tae African race, corruptly used by trat
siam perseus.have bi-t-n invited by the Doinooraio party to jain thtm acJ bc represented at ths:convention about to assemble at tho City of NoYetK ou the fourth (4th) day of July nert. Thenfore,
Hesf-Ucd, That wo agree with our fellow-citizenof Eaii«:ií>id, end it ia tho opinion of this meetingthat tho Whito people of South Carolina, who, b,permanent residence with tho intention to ramaitor by payment of tares, are honestly ciiizeüthereof, ought and wiil, with but few und not inüu<mtial exceptions, cordially accept thia iavilalion.
Resolved, That we sincerely regret that tho genflatten, who laiuiy asstmbied in coiiYtntion a

their intended mealing and its objects, or by priva:a consultation with some of our citizens, whoi:they might expect would give such notice, affonlo Charismen and tho low country a fair opportuniíy io jein with thî-ra.
Resolved, That, white we heartily agree in thipurpot-e of that convention (¡o unite with tinDcucacracy) and express our thanks for their sta
tistical exposure of those who are forced upon u
au legislators and rulers, we regret that somi
parts of their proceedings do not coincido witlour views. And,
While wo regret, also, that they should havithought it proper to appoint a Representative o
this district, who has never been a resident (horeof, and while wc do not thiuk it wis3 or considoratc to Lave entirely exclti-ied tho old City o
Chavlîston and tho whole low country from partieipa;iou in their executive organization for th;whole State, yet-, we are williug to accept tho Buggealion that these causas of regret were ibo roiuiof inadvertance or accident.
Kcsolecd, '¿'bat lac white oitizena of Charlestoido hereby, in a spirit of harmony, appeal to ant

spective court-houses on the first ^lst) Monday o!June.
Resolved, Thal delegates equal to double thenumber of thc Charleston delegation, in the Lat(léserai Assembly, be appointed to represent as insaid convention, und thot a Committee of l-Vieon,ba appointed toncuiiuatc, to nnailjocrhcd meeting,such suitable persons os will accept and performthis service.
Resolved. That in case this our appeal and invi¬tation bhall unfortunately be disregarded, thenthat our delegates do proceed to nominate, to thooitizena of this district, and .«ul jcct to their Ap¬proval, the :'.sual numbci of delegate!1, namely, one
delegate for tho Sttt'c at Iorgo, and one alterant o
itt behalf of thia district, and- t'^o delegates andtwo alternates to represent this dietrich in theDemocratic Convention lo be í¡eld al Ne* York, on
thc-¿th clay of JuJy.and that the Hon. CariesTracy be ono of said delegates.
Resolved, That vin, the citizcDS of Chfirlcïtcn, dohereby ten'.ior to the Democracy and lo the faithfulConservative Republicans of the Unitod States our
grateful acknowledgments for tho zeal ami earnest.nee» with which I hey ara straggling to save us fromtho barbarism of military and African despotismundor which we now aro, and for their citons tovettere tho constitutional liberty established bythe blood and wisdom of a common ancestry.The principal ground of objection seems to be
that Charleston was not sCorded timoly notico ofthe meeting of the Convention held in Columbiain April last. The question of suffrage, touchedupon by tho Edgcficld resolutions, Í3 not disturb-ed. This action (or rather non-action) of thcCharleston meeting, wo arc prepared to endorse.But wo feel disposed to take issue with thc dccla-
[ ration that "timely notice" was not afforded our
fellow oitizens of Charleston. Tho citizens ofthat place were duly informed, by telegraph, thatsuch a Convention would bo hoid ; they were in¬vited to participate in its deliberations ; thbrewas no activity or interest manifested by them,and consequently they were not represented, al-
though some of tho remcteat districts had dola-gates in attendance. Theso are the facts, andthero can be no excuso now renderod for their not
being reproaentod on that occasion. It is idle andfoolish to talk about want of lime or insufficientnotico. Tho truth is apparent that there was no
effort roaàe by her citizens to havo "Charlestonand the low country" represented. They were
supinely watching the drift of events, instead of
putting their shoulders to the wheel, and givingaid and comfort to the effort at organization. Itis true that the Mercury urged the formation ofDeniocratio Clubs; that its singlo editorial uponthat subject brought about reflection among thefirst minds of thc State, and that its suggestionswero put into practical opsration in many Districtsbefore the lust election. But not one word of
good cheer from the people of Charleston. Thotime had not come fer them to take action, andit was not until the municipal elections were or¬
dered that any effort at organization became appa¬rent. Then thcro was some effort mado to mobol-ize the conservative element of that community,but we are inclined to think that the gentlemenwho controlled the recont publia meeting in thatcity were far from being prominent in this move¬ment. Under thc circumstances, we must deplorethe course pursued by tho citizens of Charleston,if the reeent meeting reflected their sentiments.

OUTRAGE UPON CITIZENS.Soveral citizens of Hamburg wero recently ar¬
rested for rofusing lo allow the uegrooa and carpet,baggers to occupy the church in that town, for thc
purpose of holding a radical meeting. Tho Augus¬ta Chronicle and Sentinel learns tho following partic¬ulars of this unwarrantable proceeding againstprivato individuals. Tho fellow Aunim will bcremembered by our readers, as wo had occasion to
ventilate his charactor somo time ago :
From a conversation with one of tho gentlemenarrested in Hamburg, wo learn that ou tho arrivalof the party in Aikou thoy were set to work cloan-ing out stublea and doing otuer menial eervioe;this, too, before any examination was had into thecharacter of thc cliarges of which they were accus¬ed. After working nearly all day tho commandantof tho Post of Aiken released Iheso citizens on
promise of giving bail to stand their trial whenevertho ease was brought up."The cilizeus in (|iies:iuu were arresled at tho in-
stanoo of a carpet-bagger mimed Arnim, who re¬
sides in the neighborhood of Hamburg. Thisindividual induced ¿tver.il :.cgrocs to make afñd*-vits that the citizens cf Hamburg who wera arrest¬ed attempted lo mob and incite a riot ngninst them,for simply refusing to give their cousent to thiscarpet-bagger, Arnim, and the negroes to hold ouc
of their miduigitt orgies in a church.This constituted the wholo offence ; and yet, at
tho installée of an irresponsible character, andsome equally worthless and irresponsible negroes,this General Canby arrests aud puts to hard laborsix respectable citizens of the Stale, which is now
insulted and oppressed by bis arbitrary acts andunbridled license.-o-
. Governor Orr has remitted tho fine of onohundred dollars imposed upon Mr. E. W. M.Mackey for an nsBault and battery upon Mr. Ros¬well T.

an Association of the farmers of this DistrictThere are many interests in this section of thi
country that alono can be controlled by the farmers. It is now well understood that the presensupply of labor is not profitable, and it is cqualljwell uudorstood that it will not become profitabliwhile it is controlled by the present systemWhat, then, is lo bo done to better tho presensystem of labor, and make tho farming interésmors proGtablo in the futuro ? Aro the farmer:not capacitated to gi.-j the proper answer to thisand all other questions that affect tho farming in-tcrcst of tho country ? Wo say so, without tinfear of conti adiction. And, in ordor that we majhave a concerted end uuifoim plan throughout th<ontire District, wo ask that thc farmers of thuDistrict resolve thciusolves into an association,and adopt such measures as may be deemed neces¬
sary to improve the farming interest of thc Dis-trict. If the freedmen are to bo ouinloyed by oui
farmer«, and receive support and protection altheir hands, they should be required, without theslightest tloviation, to conform to tho rules andrcgulaticna adopted by tho Association. If anv
fbouhl ask, can this be done so as to benefit thcfarming interest 1 We answer it can, withouldoubt, provided you organise and adopt rules andregulations for tho Association, and then obsorvcthem without deviation. Lu this way each formetof the District will protect every ether farmer, andby every other farmer be protected. Such an
efi'ort on the part of our farmcra would result icgood to every citizen of the District, of whalevcicasto or color. While thc regulating of tho laboiof lite District is of tho utmost importance to thcfarming interest, it is by no means the only goodthat is to bo offectod by such an Association. Theexpérimenta of cüsh and every farmer of our Dis¬trict may bo obtained free of charge, and in thisway the present 3ysiein of tho farmers would bcremodelled into a new and bettor system. Undeisuch an orgauiziilica, white labor could bo intro¬duced into our District with more confidence thanin any other way, R3 it would be easy for the farm¬ers to regulate, so that no farmer or person (ex¬cept Rads) could interfere with your laborer afterho had been iraporicd into tho District at your ex¬
pense. And if this bo done, we aro satisfied thattwo hundred families of white laborers might beintroduced into tho District for our next crop.This Association might soon find itself in conditionto form iidelf into o joint stock company, and rear
a fine factory in their midat to manufacture all thomaterial thoy produce, cad save themselves, inthis way, the untold fortunes that have been takenfrom us, and placed into tho bauds of others. Iithe farmers aro ready for this Association, let them

I had, ct no time, previous to thc timo of thosaid nomination, been consulted ia rogard to Ihn
subject by any of thc Republican party, and con¬
sequently fcol myself perfectly at liberty to declinetho acceptance of said nomination, which I re¬
spectfully do for thc following reasons:
First. I consider myself completely identifiedwith the Conservative party of thia District, andwill not give my assent to any measure calculatedin itself to bring about dissension and division inthe ranks ol my own party.
Secondly. L do not desire the office of Coroner,and would hesitate long beforo accepting it fromcit lier party.
