Tie leading nan in the convention on
the progressive side, is unquestionably
James L. Orr 1 don't think him the
ablest man in the body, and there are
other reformers who make more speeches,
but, except in respect to the negro, he is
in advance of the convention. al am
tired of South Carolina as she was, said he
in a speech to-day; covet for her the
material prosperity of New England
would have her acres TEEN with life and
vigor, and industry, and intelligence as do
those of Massachusetts" The convention
has beaten him ON the general principle
of giving nearly all elections to the people;
but he has left his mark in the minds of
the delegates. He went into rebellion SO
easily and got out of it so readily that
there is some disposition to distrust his
leadership; but the fact remains that he
stands in the foreground of the movement
toward a more republican form of govern
ment

THE MAJORITY RIGHT.

The spirit of the convention toward the
! General Government has been indicated
| in what was said respecting its action on
| the clause of the constitution declaring
! slavery abolished. The famous Aldrich
resolution, SO called, brought it out on the
| first day Of the session. He introduced it
as soon as the convention was organized /:
"Resolved That under the present extra
ordinary circumstances, it is both wise
and polite TO accept the condition in
which We are placed; to endure patiently
the evils which we cannot avert or cor
rect; and to calmly and patiently await
the time and opportunity to effect our de-
liverance from unconstitutional rule"
This was the spirit of one section of the
convention. The other section found
voice through General Sam McGowen,
many times wounded, once left on the
field for dead, and yet carrying the bullet
of Union musket in his body: Il pro
test with all the earnestness of my nature
against this resolution. 1t is not true that
South Carolina carries dagger under
meath her vestments. She went out of
the Union with an open hand and open
heart. She has lost her material re-
and she returns to the sisterhoOd of States
with full determination to be true and
loyal in word and deed" These words,
l am confident, express the sentiment of
the convention. The Aldrich resolution
went to the table with only four dissent
ing voices-being refused even the poor
privilege Of going to the printer or to
committee.

The New South Cnralina.

The correspondent Of the Boston Adrey.
tiser at Columbia, the Capital of South
Carolina, writes with evident candor in
regard to the State Convention convened
in accordance with President ,IoEnson's
plan of reconstruction, and gives some
insight into It's spirit and purpose. We
quote several items of interest:
THE UP-CoUNTRY DOMINANT
There has long been Strife between the
two sections locally known as the sup-
country and the 'low-country.7 Il hate
the saints OF New England in reference IN
national affairs, and l hate the saints of
the low country in state affairs" said one
of the up-eountry men TO me ''The low
country has overridden us long enough
said one Of the delegates, and now we've
drawn the sword and thrown the srabbard
away and we are going to have a settle
ment' The feeling of the up-couhtry
against the ether section five wears ago
was scarcely less than the state feeli6g
against the general government. The up
country now charges the low-country with
having brought ON the war-"disunion
was born in the parishes is the public re-
mark Of one delegate.
w hen the proper time came the old parish
system was swept away by more than
two-thirds vote, and political power was
transferred from the hands of the low
country TO the innovating hands of the
1t may seem small matter
to careless observers of state action, but
the fact is Of grave Importance The par
lshes governed the state in one sole inter
est of slavery, and though the up-country
will not govern it just yet in the interest |
Of freedom, the proportion of negroes in |
The low-country districts is very much |
arger than in the up-country districts. |
The inhabitants of the low-cOintry are of
oreign descent with monarchal and aris-
ocratic tendencies; those of the up-coun-
ry came originally from Pennsylvania,
Maryland, New Jersey, &c. Just in what
espects the change of power will effect
he character of the state legislation no
ne can yet say; but all men concur in
aging it is Il matter of very serious in-
'ort.

Of rescuing their brethren, or to perish in
the attempt. On arriving at the eastern
gate of the city they surrounded a small
boy, whom they pressed into service, and
caused to conduct them to the portals OF
the county Jail. Arriving there without
loss, they laid siege to the bastile within
whose trowning walls languished their two
companions in arms. The ,ailor being alb
sent, his wife received their positive orders
to hand over the keys with becoming cool
ness, and instead Of doing SO, held parlcy
with the lenders. Meanwhile, trusty old
Frank" secured the doors and rushed
upon the street to alarm the garrison and
secure rear and flank attack. Citizens,
without regard to politics or religion, to-
gether with the Sheriff, Aldermen, Mayor
and ex Mayors, Constables, editors and
other descendants Of rich but respectable
parents, were soon on the spot, burning to
defend the honor Of the city or bust! Our

DAVENPORT IOWA. TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1865.

The SUBSTITUTE ORDIxAxcE.-It seems
that the Council Of our city has taken :
second thought upon the ordinance treqsir-
ing substitute brokers to pay = two hun.
dred dollar license, and reduced the amount
to one hundred dollars. This seems much
more reasonable. Five hundred dollars 10
great sum to pay for brokers' license in
this city while one hundred dollars 10 quite
moderate. The amendment 10 very Judi.
cious, for it is doubtful whether any licenses
would have been taken out under the 5000
scale, or whether the action Of the City
Fathers would have been regarded by bro
kers. This would have led to litigation,
and litigation generally leaves the corpora
ton worse of than it was at the start.

fractions at the exhibition at Metropolitan

Of Powers Greek Slave. This view alone is
worth twice the price Of admission.
