a synopsis of the proceedings Of the
State Democratic Convention, which nd
journed in Columbia on the evening of the
3lst ultimo, may be found in this paper.
We endorsed the action of our delegates
to the late Charleston Convention in with
drawing therefrom, and believe that their
course throughout that exciting and critical
occasion mas every thing that could have
been desired. We believe further, that
unity among ourselves is now of the first
consequence, and that South Carolina in
going into the Richmond Convention, should
berepresenled By delegates who could hnr-
monte and act in sympathy with the dele
cations from the other Southern States.
Entertaining these views, we cannot con-
sistently endorse the course pursued and
the appointments made at the late ColunI.
bia Convention. In ruling out the old del.
egation, the course pursued by them in the
Charieston Convention, which was well re-
ceived throughout tie State, is virtually re
pudiated and wounds have been Inflicted
and hard feelings engenderrd, which at this
time in peculiarly unfortunate. Personally.
we can have no objection to the appoin,ees
They are able and worthy gentlemen, and
if the delegations from our sister Southern
States were as ripe for a severance of the
Union as they doubtless are, we would not
object to them on the score Of ultraism in
politics. But believing as we do that the

will look solely to the maintenance of the
rights Of the South in the Union. u more

if they will not harmonize with us and suf-
fer themselves to he led ont Of the Union,
it is our policy to harmonize with them and
make Our cause the cause Of the whole
South. To do this, we should not address
them in the language of dictation or intro.
duce into their councils elements with
which they have no sympathy.
We trust however, that the party which

"MILL STONE BRANCH Our correspon-
dent, whose article is published else" here,

ses that there is any. desire or disposition
here to make Lancaster c. ii. the terminus
of the proposed railroad, If we secure
road connecting with the North Eastern
railroad, it will unquestiona6ly be extended
to Charlotte. Such was the sense Of the
Bishopvlle Convention, and in fact the III
innate connection with Charlotte is one Of
the grand obi .c,s contemplated by the
movers along the entire line of the propo-
sed road We would suggest that our
friends in the! upper part Of the District
embrace Charlotte in their subscription
lists. If they prefer to do 80, and report ut
the Sumter meeting. It will be a snbscrp-
ton from Lancaster District, and will have
the same effect that other subscriptions from
this District will have. ......

"A,ad decout men carried Stephen to

And now, in conclusion, my dear
Douglas brethren, know it is harm for
us to believe that Stephen is snuffed
out. We cannot realize it. But it is
even so. We shall never behold his
coat-tail dragging on the ground any
more. Its beautiful folds have been
wrapped around his wounded seat of
honor, and he has been laid at rest.
The "irrepressible conflict" has dealt
HIM asmasher on the COB, and his voice
Will no longer charm us with the beau
tlful song of Popular Sovereignty.
Therefore cease your blubbering for
Stephen. There is yet hope of saliva
ton for us. There is a plank still left
for us poor shipwrecked sinners to cling
to. Our brethren North and South al
ready stand upon it. Though the heath
en- have denounced it as relic of bar
barIsm, yet our elders in the great coun-
Gil of the nation say it is a good one.
We will all go to that land of blessed
saints in Utah, where it is fenced in
and shout for old Mrs. Poly Gamy.
There reposing on her bosom, we viii
bury all our sorrows for the inmalcu-
late Stephen, who was so shamefully
martyred at Charleston. Let him rot
in peace.
Farewell, then, poor old Stephen
The famous Charleston martyr
For he lied so we couldn't believe him.
And we won't go tumbling arte-
Thus, you see, have quoted the
Dutch poet and we will close with the
text, And decout men carried ,Sephe,,
to has burial, and made great lamenta-
ton Ocer him. Amen.
