To the Citizens of South Carolina.

10 Cn6 ClClZenS OF SOuGn CdrOllud.
Fezzou. Citizens: As Vice. President of
the National Union Club for the State of
South Carolina, I earnestly invite your at
teution to the call for National Conven.
ton, issued by the Executive Committee of
that body, and recommended by many of
the most eminent and patriotic members Of
both branches of the present Congress.
The Importance of this meeting, and the
beneficial consequences to result from it, can
scarcely be exaggerated. Separated as We
have been for the last FIVE years from all
communication with the people of the North
and West; knowing but little of their opin.
ions, except as expressed through the up-
just and oppressive action Of the bitter par
tisan majority which at present controls the
National Legislature, this is the first oppor-
tunity which has been offered US to take free
and equal counsel with those who feel i'm
PEELED, by sense Of high patriotism, to op.
pose the unjust schemes of the radicals in
their systematic effort to Cypress and humil-
late the people Of these States, and defeat,
if possible, the reconstruction Of the Union
indefinitely. The address states clearly the
principles upon which we are expected to
act in common, and it seems to me there ls
not one to which this State cannot subscribe
in honor and with sincerity. We simply
recognize those results which the events of
the late war have placed beyond the bounds
of any future political discussion, results in
which we have unanimously and sincerely
acquiesced, and in conformity to which we
have already modified our Constitution, our
legislation and our political sentiments.
We are invited to join in an aoknowledg.
meut of the wisdom of that policy by which
Andrew johnson, President of the United
States, has, in the midst of difficulties un-
paralleled in the history of any Admiuistra-
ton, maintained the integrity of the Con.
stitution, identified the exercise of the Ex-
ecutive power with the rules of strict justice
and the spirit of mercy, and proved his
Legitimate right to succeed the great foun-
ders of the Republic as the Chief Magistrate
of common country, which can be made
and preserved as one nation only BY the
equal administration of just and equal laws.
The purpose of the Convention will be to
organize, upon the principles set forth IN the
committees address, all conservative men
of all sections, and of all former parties, and,
if possible, drive from power that radical
party who are daily trampling uuder foot the
Constitution, and fast converting Conssi-
tutioDal Republic into consolidated des.
potism. ....
The great mass of the people, North and
West, have no higher interest in party than
through it to secure the wise, enlightened,
just government of the country, and when
organization is effected, and the Presidents
enlightened policy of reconstruction is pre-.
sented for their approval or condemnation,
there can be little doubt that he will be
triuupbantly sustained, and our rights as
equals in restored Union fully conceded.
The compact organization of the conser-

occupied Dresden, Wiesbaden and some
other points Of less Importance, and cut off
the communications of the Hsnoverisns. No
serious collision has yet occurred, but a

Rain and Crops.

A refreshing rain fell over large por-
ton of this District on Tuesday. The
visitation was timely, as the unusually poor
crops must have been still further damaged
without it. -.. H..
We have never seen set of men more
completely dishearteued than the majority
of the farmers of this District appear to be-,
in regard to their Crops. Our own obser.
vation convinces us that they have reason
to be so. The soil has not been properly
titled, and we much fear will not be, until
we can again regulate the labor of the
country, and extort work from it.

NEW YORK, July 7.-Tbe latest advices
from Mexico represent the cause of Maxi

Liberals are more united, and there are large
accessions to their ranks from the Imperial.

victories recently, and are now besieging
Tampico, which they are likely to capture.
The idea of annexation to the United States
widely prevails and is popular among the
Liberals. The yellow fever has abated in
Vera Cruz.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

'6 ~ Ia AtSAN01 SS4s v ~S~s - - Ss'
The call for National Convention of
delegates from all the States, to assemble in
Philadelphia, on the 14th of August, seems
to meet with popular favor, both North and
South. The call is made to call ConserVa.
tive men of all sections and of all former
parties, with view of driving from power
the Radical party now daily trampling un'
der foot the Constitution. This call ema
mates from the Central Committee of the
National Union Club at Washington, and
is endorsed by the Democratic members of
Congress and Conservative men throughout
the country.
Gov. ORR, as Vice President Of the Club
for South Carolina, publishes call to the
people of this State, which will be found in
another column. 1t is the first opportunity
offered since the war, for delegates from all
sections of the country, to discuss face to
face, the distracting issues that have re-
suited in prostrating one section of the
country at the feet Of a tyranical minority.
We venture upon the discussion of this
subject with distrust. For the South to
shape at this time, policy for her future
guidance, is a matter of high responsibility
upon those who advise it. She has been
betrayed once too often by party affiliations,
to permit her people to repose unreserved
confidence in any set of men claiming to be
her especial champions.
Another view of this matter-and prob
ably the better one-may be obtained from
the supposition that, having nothing to lose,
we consequently can receive no further in.
jury by uniting with party, that promises
to be serviceable in restoring the Govern.
ment to its Constitutional forms. Can the
South better advance the prospective sue.
cess of the new party by an active repre-.
sentation in the Convention, than by pas.
sively awaiting its action, and cooperating
with its future efforts? Will an active in.
reference in the affairs of this Convention
by a prescribed and outlawed people, dam.
age its prospects of success with the dis.
tempered masses at the North ? We hard
ly believe it will, if represented by men of
enlarged views who are capable of fully
appreciatiug the interests their section has
at stake.
In a crisis like the present, it is not the
Office of this paper to assume to advise. We
leave that to those more ready to assume
the responsibility. So far as our own opin.
ions go, we can say emphatically, however,
that we believe it to be the true policy of
the South to send her delegates to the Con
vention, and shall so vote at the public
meeting called for on the 4th Monday in
this month.

Mr. Eldridge would then like to know how the
gentleman in the face of that letter, could take
the oath, and suggested whether it would not be
better for him. in order TO take the oath without
violation of conscience, for Congress to modify

The speaker directed the assistant door-keeper
to remove from the galleries all persons who made
manifestations of appreciation or disapprobation.
Mr.. Eldrdge remarked that he would be very
well satisfied to have the order obeye6 although
he had often had to submit to that sort Of thing.
The speaker reminded him that the chair had

order, enforced the rule.

The speaker said it was impossible for presid-
ing officer to restrain members from laughing.
Mr., Stokes said that while he admitted that he
was wrong when he wrote that letter, there was

He went on to discuss rather discursiyely the
events of 1851, in which ne took part ending with
