OUR s.sSlTiDS.

We have RETAINED, up to this time,
from saying anything that looked like
an endorsement Of the proceedings OF
the Philadelphia Convention, Some
of the resolutions Of that body CRATE

minds Of the nation. We believe the
Conservative press everywhere, NORTH

her friends in the Northern States are
Conservative, and her rehabilitation
with all her rights depends upon the
success Of the, Conservative party
therefore we endorse the Convention

II they do not, we shall never again
look to the Northern people for justice.

WHAT TO DO WITH IT.-An EX-
change says: a great many persons
are at a loss to know how to dispose of
ragged and mutilated currency on their
hands. 1t is the easiest thing in the
world, and without any expense. When
you get three dollars on hand, put it in
a small package, pin band around it,
with your name, post office, and amount.
Put it in an envelope, and address it to
the Treasury of the United States,
Washington, d.. c. In a few days you
will receive new currency in return. 1t
goes and returns free of postage.

The Monroe D0ctrinc---Lettcr from
Secretary Seward.

NEW York, Aug. ga letter from
Secretary Seward to Gen. Fitzpatrick,
Minister to Chill, is published setting
forth the policy Of the United States
concerning war in adjoining republics
He says we maintain that the rcpubli-
can system which is accepted in any
one of those States shall not be wanton-
ly assailed, and that it shall not be sub
vertcd as an end Of a lawful wrr ny

In wars waged between nations III

not pushed (take the French war in
Mexico) to the political point mention
ed, we do not intervene. Spain as
sured us that she would not carry her
war with Chill to that point, and we
are ready now and henceiortli to hold
Spain to this agreement, if found neces'
sary.
Mr.. Seward at some length shows
that this policy is one district NEUTRAL,

the United States from the time OF

DEATH OF A South CARoLINIAN IN

Col. James Monroe, Of this State, and
late Of the Confederate army, and chose
to spend his life in Il foreign country,
rather than submit to be ruled by q

Says Il Washington special:
Considerable apprehension is felt in
several Of the adjoining counties in

spirit manifested by the negroes. Re
ports have been received here that
bands have been organized in different
localities for TIE purpose of making
raids upon the whites who are ohicc-

such an extent that vigilance commit
