UNGENERoUs AND UNFAIR.

The Globe of Yesterday copies the report VI
recent South Carolina Convention, (Which
was not 5, MT 10 us, which declares preference
fer Mr. Calhoun as The Kepubllcah cahu'u''e
Al 1874. and ar ues al length The justice ana
nroo,ielv of the National Convention being
held in May, 1914; the delegates 10 be elected
by districts, and TO vote per capita. The re-
mort is a mere exposition Of the views oil The
Convention, and boldly declared, as lreemen,
mot having the fear Of the Globes bulls OF ex-
communication in mind have an undeniable
right to declare them.
The following comment on the proceedings
is made by the Globe
We publish, to-day, the report Of the South
Carolina convention held TO make choice OF senate
rial delegates to the Democratic National Conven-
ton The report is an able one, and we take plea
sure in LAYING il before readers. We think, The
Convention had oppressed ciingnes 10 abide by the
decision Of the National Contention, Uoad hdpe gone
very far 10 adpance the Interests Of THEIR candidate
We desire also to cali attention to an article from l
ST. 81 t Is Sas.' he0nn''''"'
Now, we think it highly ungenerous in the
Globe to utter such an insinuaton as that we
have italicized. The greater portion of the re-
port in question is devoted professedly, and in
fact to discussion of The best and tairest mode
of constituting the Convention. And would
the Globe insinuate that all this was mere
mockery, unworthy Of intelligent and honorable
men, and that, after all, there 1uas no intention
"to abide by the decision Of the National
COnrention?"
We submit il to every true Republican who
sincerely desires the success OF the party IN
1874, for its own sake, and for the sake Of the
country, (and not patry job of printing! if
the nsidious assaults OF the Globe on MIR. Cal
houn and his friends, and openly on President
Tyler and his friends, can possibly tend 10 pro
mote the harmony and union of the party 2
VIII not such conduct, if persisted in, contri-
butte more than any thing the common enemy
could do. TO pre- dnce another defeat OF the party
under Mr.. Van Buren,, If he is again to be run,
and the Democracy Is not to be permitted by
The Globe TO favor any body else?
We think the Globes insnuaion was delibe-
rately designed 10 cast suspicion on tha political
integrity OF Mr.. Call GUMS friends. In our es-
,mation il admits of no other construction.
On glancing AT the article from the ST. Law
renee Republican, to which the Globe refers,
our Interpretation of the G. obe's insinuation
was, in our mind, confirmed as the correct one
The article was an elaborate AMI ingenious at
tempt TO prove that the friends of Mr.. Calhoun
were seeking 10 dictate to the Republican par
ty Aud the editor labors TO show that Mr.
Van Buren,, and nobody else, will be nominated
and run by the party
And thus, in The face IF its daily dlcta-
ton to The party, the Globe has the unfarness TO
give circulation to charge of this nature
against Mr.. Calhoun
We append the following liberal and Just no
tice Of the Convention from a Democratic paper
OF the trLe stamp:
From the Baltimore Republican.
SOUTH CAROLINA STATE CONVENTION.
The State Convention Of South Carolina, organ.
lied at Columbia on the 2lst committee was ap-
pointed TO report an address TO the Democratic par
~, recommending John Caldwell Calhoun for nomi-
nation for the Presidency Of the United States by
the General Convention, and also upon the princi
pies on which, in the opinion Of the State the Con-
yention should be constituted the mode of its pro.
ceedngs, and the time Of Its assembling
The committee having performed the duties
signed them, have made long report which appears
in the columns of the Charleston Mercury. The re-
port states the result Of their deliberaon be- their
unanimous determination TO " recommend John
Calhoun as the candidate Of the Democratic Repub-
lean party for next President We are also unani-
nous in recommending that the General Convention
Of the party should be held in Baltimore in Nav
1874 that each State should appoint as many dele
gates she Is entitled TO members in the electoral
college; that two should be appointed at large and
the remainder by districts, one from each Congress
sona district where there such in State, and
where not by the mode in which the Republican par
~ Of each State may deem best fitted TO colec, and
express the opinions Of the people and that the
members should vote per capita"
