A Voee from Kemper.

- M y sBA1sksDArE:-In rcyieUina tie
proceedings Of the Kemper County Couven-
ton, he'd at DE kalb on the 21st inst, | dis
cover thai motion made by i. G. Rives,
Esq, was lost which regret very much
The resolution to which refer. IN substance,
suggests to tie Estate Convention the pro-
pretty Of Appointing as delegates to the Rich
mond CauveItion, to assemble on the llth of
June, tk sane delegates lately accredited to
the Chaaesten Convent on, decreiitiRq tie0t
also to tie Bllamore Coareation to assemble
on the l8thJ une; but leaving IL entirely to
their di&reton, tghen assembled in the Rich
aaoad Cdaueiti0n, as 10 tie Propriety Of rep
resentatoa d the Democracy Of Mississippi
in the baltimore CoaUesattoH.'
The abou resolution ought to have passed
by all neanl it occurs 10 me. am clearly of
the opinion, after mature reflection. that our
delegates to Richmond ought not to be throt-
tied in tAeiractien in reference to the propri-
ETY. of pinl to Baltimore also.
The fact hat the question of the platform
was opeledat Charleston before final adjourn
ment, WIS doubtless not known to those who
voted dewA the resolution in the kemper
meeting or stherwise the resolution would
have BEEN sustained. From the fact that
owing u tie Southern Delegations which
Withdrew, tn, remaining Southern States de-
mandedESf The Charleston Convention that
the plat6fln should be reopeued. Virginia was
among Tie nunber making the request. The
question, Their, of platform being opened, and
the gate being thrown wide OPEN for the
admission of eur delegates at Baltimore, they
can " there, without, in the least, rendering
II. ~, -
ling t. the tbolitionized Democracy Of the
Northwest
Andher consideration Of paramount inn
portarce is, that it will ultimately secure the
Waiosl be the sqtire South. Virginia having
pledged hersel, through her Senators, Messrs
Hunte and Mason, that she viii withdraw
with Mississippi end the other Southern
Stateswhich retired at Charlestontn tn. event
the "lajority Platform" is not adopted by the
Baltimore Convention when it meets on the
18th d June.
Norris the hct to be overlooked that such
action pn the part of our Democracy will pre-
vent tie admission of BOGUS DELlHArEs who
will sneak into the Convention, and there seek
to misepresent the reliable Democratic States
by casting their votes for Douglas, &c. The
adjournment over to Baltimore was q dex-
trousnove on the political chess board, by
the friends of Douglas, to give time at the
SoutL for those JOg4s relegades to fill the
place Of the true Southern Democracy at
Baltimore, and thereby give to the nominal
ton L Douglas an air of nationality.
W. OF the South, have the "balance Of pow
err" and of course we should thTow the re-
sponsbility of denationalizing the Democratic
party upon the Baltimore Convention itself
That hls view of the question viii be taken
by the State Convention, have not shadow
of doubt; and being myself a delegate to the
State convention from Kemper, and DESTROYS
of plakng cher right ON the record" / will
take he responsibility of asserting that the
Kemplr Delegation viii act in complete har-
nony with the State Democracy, next We'd
lesday, in whatever may be thought wise and
patriotf, and becoming high toned and chiv-
slrous people. Respectfully,
