From the Southern Confederacy

PRIeEs.--A portion Of the press ofthe country il
greatly exercised, at the high rate Of board to be
charged at Charleston, during the sitting of the
National Convention. Five dollars day, they
say, is awful to think Oft is an "outrage,"ss a
swindle,a and not inaceorliance with I. Southern
hospitality. This charge Of FIVE dollars day is
monstrous,' when coming from Southern city;
but there was no complaint when Cincinnati in
aS56 charged delegates from three dollars 10
twenty doll4rs day for board. Southern gentle-
men paid their money freely, in the city OF Gin
cnnati, in 1855, without a murmur. Northern
Yankees however, have keen sense Of the al
mighty dollar, andthey hate Southern climate
at any price. Well let the free sellers STAY at
home, il they do not like Charleston and five dol
lars day. The Southern Delegates can do very
well without them. Precious little these Yam
KEGS win do towards the election Of nemooratic
President, anyhow. They want Douglas Homina-
ted with Sqnattcr Sovereignty platform, 1T two
dollars day, and Southern hospitality, and then
look to the South 20 elect him We beg to be ex-
cused, gentlemen. We do not choose to invite
you to such a feast. This is our funeral Hyou
come to Charleston, we will treat you respectful
", YES, We will treat You Hospitality; but we in
tend to charge you fee dollars dny and you must
pay IN adranre and we want none of your Squat-
ter Sovereignty platforms or heretical candidates
for President. We will feed you well while you
stay and behave yourselves, and teach YOU some
sound Southern Rights Doctrines, which you nev.
or had taught you at home.
