The Marion Comvent1 om .

The people of South Carolina have Just reason
TO be proud of their assemblies. Ever since the
days of thc Revolution, they have been marked by
the dignity Of their proceedings and the ents OF
their members. On no question of any public inn
portance have her speakers been found wanting.
We may all remember what 4 big degree Of in
tollcctuaI cultivation her citizens displayed in
their memorable conflict with the General Govern
menG in 1892. Notification had its proportion
Of silly bombast, heaven knows but who will de-
ny its beneficial tendency in uniting as a unit
the hearts of the people, in revealing their
high mental capacity, and in awakening Spirit
of State pride, which, more genial than the dews
ofheaEen harmonizes the interests ofdiAerent sec
lions, snd rousing in common effort th cir latent
energy, gives life to schemes for the publio good
The happy effects of such unity of purpose may
even be dissolved in so unpromising field as
RAD Road Convention. 1t was singu al 20 observe
inIhatbody how appropriately the practical bearing
of the subject was il usrrated and adorned by the
graccs of rhetoric and the charms of eocution. As
if tho voice genius heard every where else, would
triumph too, amid the mazeS of topography and
the prices of Road iron. We have never listened to
fher display of oratorical power than was dis
played In The debate upon the second Resolution
anu the Reports of the Committee. One might
see from the character of the speakers and the to
nacity with which they chung to their positions
that their constituents were full alive to The i'm
poTt2nt interests confded to the convention, ant
\ had sent their best men to represent them
Nor must omit to give proper praise to tn,
high toned spirit by which tho proceedings wer,
characterized. We shall never forget the magnan
unity with which the minority, in retiring from
the conflict, after expressing their regret at failure
IN their schemes, avowed their determination
TO eclipse their opponents in devotion to those
of the Convention. They fought like men, but al

over, they embraced as brothers

the encouragement Of domestic industry. and
had already made ont an order for heavy sup

making twenty five per cent under tho law Of

quence, Intended importing a supply Of ele.

ed to give up the idea, because, under the new
law, he will make but ten or fifteen per cent.

Orders, without number, for shawis. costing
three or four hundred dollars each ); for dress
; patterns, costing two hundred dollars piece
for new article of Partisan fans. that are
worth each one hundred dollars, have been
unavoidably withdrawn.
We chronicle these facts with regret. They
show the nnournfhl state of things consequent
: upon the passage of the new Tariff bill, and
point conclusively to the downward tendency
of business, domestic industry and confidence.
In addition. to these melancholy instances,
there is another fact much more important
Starvation threatens the nation The ports Of
greedy England and furnished Ireland are
opened to our corn and our wheat-our -four
and our Indian meal-and it is honestly to be
feared that The broad fields Of the Union will
not suffice to feed all England and America

The PEE,TENTIARY QUEsTIoN.-The vc,e
has been SO one-sided in every county from
which returns have, been received, that we
have concluded it only waste of time and
space to give table OF returns until the final
vote of the State is received. Suffice it to
say, that the people have decided, SO far, al
most unanimously against the Peniien,iary
project.
