GENERAL COMMANDERS LETTER OF
EXPLANATION.
In defence of Genera! Commander, we publish
his letter, which appears in the Winyaw IS. CO.
Observer:
MIR. Editor-Having been honorei by my te-
low-ciliZsns with The appointment OF delegate
to the Democratic National Convention. lately
held at Baltimore, tell il due 10 hsm, as well
as myself, 10 correct The report OF my remarks as
published in several political papers al the time
when the right 10 cast the electoral vote OF the
STATE was discussed before the Convention.
did not say that the Democracy Of the Stale
were invited 10 assemble al Georgetown, or that
was appointed by that meeting 10 represent the
State OF South Carolina, but that ii was the un-
Outstanding, as expressed in my credentials that
The delegate appointed by that meeting would re.
present the Stale, if no other delegate should be
sent from other districts, and that committee
had been appointed to correspond with commit
tees in other portions OF The Safe on tina, subject,
should such committees be raised, and tina! il had
been argued 10 the Winyaw Observer that the dele
gale TO be appointed by the meeting called would
cas-. the vote Of the Sale, in The event Of no other
delegates being sent This is The only error III
The report as published in The Washington Union;
in all else il is as correct as condensed report
can be.
This explanation is to my friends, and is not
the yelpins pack, who have been trane to give
tongue whenever the Mercury says bow, iroo
The people of South Carolina have been hood
yipked long enough, ard if the Mercury does
not. trust the Editor of the Mercury will sur
yiye the event SO much deplorcd by him, but
which is fast approaching, when the people Of
South Carolina shall demand and take all that
belongs TO them, and when the clique that has
so long ruled the State shall be no more heard
Of The attacks on me BY the Mercury, treat
with The contempt they merit. The echoes from
other quarters are beneath contempt; they may
growl and snarl for time, but as soon as their
masters shy be done, like poor Tray they will
fawn upon the hand that corrects them. No
more notice (and almost regret that have no.
ticed them at all) will be taken OF the Mercury
s. Co.'s Billingsgatc.
As TO my position and acis in the Convention
Ichallenge the closest scrutiny. And although
cast The vote Of South Carolina twice fer Levi
Woodbury. and would have done so again and
AGAIN, had there been the smallest chance Of his
getting the nomination, yet after our orn great
aztesmaD my individual preference was Lewis
Cass. voted for Levi Woodbury. in obedience
10 the known preference Of the Stale, and would
have hailed his nomination with Joy because It
would have secured her vote.
The distinguished nominee, Gen. Lewis Cass,
is no less entitled 10 Thai vote. lie - sounu on
all The great questions comprised IN The Demo-
cratic creed. He is sound on that question OF
vital importance 10 the South "our peculiar IN
s,i,u,ions," and we should ask nothing more, UNI
less the politics OF the State have been lately
changed, and il is proposed 10 go over 10 the
Wings, withou, consulting with, or letting the
people know anything about il.
In conclusion Isubmit my acts and doings IN
he Democratic National Convention, 10 those
who sem me, although il may give me pain for
nv course 10 be GisappToved by single friend,
vel consciousness OF having acted honestly, and
as | believe in accordance With The great inter-
ess OF my beloved Stale, will sustain me through
all.
