South CdroIina.-Both partiesare holding meetings
and preparing for the great contest in October We
lay the Address of the Union Convention this morn
ing before our readers-and also a curious sort of
cartel between the two parties in Charleston-for
securing the purity of elections Ii is a melancho-
~ memento OF the lengths to which party spirit las
been carried in that city. Here the Parties enter
into stlpulatons that ono loneU shall be given or
gifts of any kind made-no rc,cards promised, or
threats held out'-that ''no person shall be iglpri-
Soned in any way restrained of their lberty-nor
persuaded to drink or be Kept state of inorica-
hoH-and SHAT they shall mol knoiCingly procure or
did any disqualified person to Uote, procure the
temporary removal of such disqualification, under n
promise or understanding, that such person. after
having given his vote, shall be placed in the same
situation, i'll which he before the election -
MIR. Is. f. Hunt in his letter to the Meeting of
GreenVllIe charges his opponents with having
"dIsclarged the Paupers after sleeping and eatinp
their breakfasts in the Poor House They thus be-
came good men and true, were carried to the polls
voted for their kind patrons; but being unable TO
sustain this independent mode of life longer than
inc lew dollars paid them for the occasion lasted
they again sought the comforts of the Poor House,
In like manner he says "rhe act of the Legislature
has prohibited the City Guard to vote, lest they
should be under improper influences. But as q
Gnard-man is only so when actually enrolled on tho
morning of the election, the men who would vote
Tor The nulIhers were discharged, went TO the polls
and boldly admitted that they resigned for the ex-
press purpose of voting, and in a few hours were
again enrolled" Equally strong charges have been
made ny the other party upon the Union men. And
in truth five may believe the letters from Charleston
ana the sketches which have been published in their
own papers, society must have already arrived at n
dreadful pass in South Carolina 1t said that some
OF the citizens 60 armed on the election DAYS i'm
Charleston. Mr.. Perry i'm his speech 10 the citizens
OIL GrcenYlle, declares that tie state of society is
changed and that whether in the country or its CT
ties, friendship and good feelings have fled from IFS
appearance" Mr.. James r.. Henry of Spartansburg
III letter addressed TO the same meeting declares
that "Tbe very springs of our social system bovo
Inv Tho ,,s.c.

gamers and sons and brothers have arraved them

ties OF their party seem forgetf of thc tics of M
