of the many instances of late, of party letter writers and
editors attacking the administration the backs of
faithful officers, whose only fault is that their con-

Major Wright and Captain Day, of the regular army,
the two officers appointed to muster the volunteers out of
service have had very rksome and unpleasant duty,
which they have performed and are now dscharging
with unwearied fidelity. No "delay' has occurred in

so favorable an exhibition of talents and literary taste
The high order of talent and oatory exhibited this

The South Carolina Democracy rejects and re-

Convention, appears from the action Of Public
Meeting held at Charleston on the evening of the
9th instant, at which the Hon. ID. L. HUGER pre-
sided, assisted as Vice Presidents by number of
the most distinguished and respectable citizens of
that party. The sentiment Of the meeting is fully
expressed in the following resolutions, moved by
Col. ISAAC w. HAYNE:
Resosed, That, opposed the Democratic party OF the
State of South Carona composing almost her entire popua-
on known be taking part IN this Convention
the indigny to the State offered by the Convention in
cepng as delegate without the pretext Of authority to
represent any than portion of Congressional district
thus aiding him place in false attitude, and permitting
him the influence of nine in their proceedings is in te
an illustration and confirmation of many of the objections
have suggested.
Resolved That the open abandonment by Southern dele
gates of the instructions with which they charged and
as we conceive Of principles essential to the prosperity and
safety Of the South still alarming commentary on the
evil and dangers incident to such Conventions.
Resolved That the Democratic party Of Charleston dis
rc had neither part in the late Baltimore Convention
and that the resolutions of the Convention the nomination Of
Gen. Cas for the Presidency and the proceedings generally
unsatisfactory and Objectionable and the action OF that
Convention dsavowed by u.s. and imposes obligation up
on the Democrats of this district"
