mocrat will attend that a fair expression Of
the voice Of the county may be had at the
general convention.
The Inteligencer says, that I" the allu-
sions of the Democrat to our opposition to
regular nominations was expected, " and
acknowledges that he has " rebelled" alter
the ticket was formed, but gives as an ex-
cuse, that the federalists had interlered in
its formation. Was this true . Did the
federalists aid in the nomination Of John
Rhodes, or did they evet support him? or
rather, was it not fact, that they did, in
conjunction with the editor of the lntelli-
gencer, oppose him, both before and after
the nomination, and by the unicn succeed
in defeating HIM! Was Hugh McWilliams
or John Fruit nominated through the influ-
ence OF federalists, or were they supported
by them Every individual in the county
knows to the contrary. But there is still
another case. Who was instrumental in
procuring the nomination Of DIR. Petrikin
at the time he was opposed by the lntelli-
gencer? Was it the federalists? Will he
acknowledge that the Doctor was as much
afavorite with the federalists then,, las he was
two years ago, when two thirds Of that par
~ in the county, not only g interfered" in
procuring his nomination, but sustained
him afterwards by their influence and votcsl
If so, where was the editors pure high
minded democracy, that shone so conspic
uously during his opposition to the Doctor
at the former election, and which nov shud
ders at the bare thought Of a candidate hav
ing friend in the federal ranks, when hi
was advocating his election to Congress il
1886? SmOthered-smothered-for thu
Scene was shirted-the Doctor could pal
we'll for assistance---the editors conscience
quieted-and the sin of receiving fedora
support pardoned by this High Priest o
Summersets.. He has always acted upol
the ground thathe alone possesses the pow
er Of determining who is, and who is no
the candidate of the democratic party--wh
shall and who shall not receive the supper
Of the federalsts, and yet be entitled to b
called democrat but we cannot beiev
but that his twistings and turnings has los
him the confidence of the democratic party
his vauntings to the contrary notwiIhstand
ing. Nor can we be made to believe tha
the democracy of Columbia will permit thi
man to prescribe whom he pleases, or ALLOW
him TO dictate to them who they shall no
inmate and support hereafter. There is to-
much stern integrity in the democracy @
the county FOR them 10 be made subservien

IN % days from Pernambuco the following letter has
been received at the Exchange Reading Room -
PERNAMBUco, March 81. 1888.
We avail ourselves Of the present opportunity to
forward you the inteeet Of the surrender OF the
City OF Bahia to the Government Party. The at

500 TO 1900 prisoners. The greater proportion Of
the armed forces belonging TO The insurgents was
composed OF Blacks to whom the Rebel pre-
uonsly granted their freedom. Prior to the surren-

The GrOac'ng Ctops.-We are gralifed to learn
from all quarters, that with the exception OF two or
three instances the growing crops OF wheat aud rye
have come through the spring well, and bid fair, I'M
less prevented by some unforeseen aud unto"ard
circumstances. to make handsome yields. We are
pleased too, 10 learn that the seedlings IN general
have been large that If present expectations and
prospects should be realised, very far average crops
may be expected. On the Eastern 81 ore OF ihs
State, we understand from several sources, though
more grain has been put IN than last wear, still the
quantity OF wheat seeded is considerably less than
1885. This arises from the failure of the wheat
crops since that period having induced most of the
wheat growers totnrn their attention more 10 the cu
liyaon rye and oats. they having proved more
certain than the former i'll their yield.
