from the Executive Committee Of the Democratic
party of the United States to send deegtes to the
general Convention to be held in New York, on
the 4th of July next, To nominate candidates for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency Of the United
States; but, inasrnuch as the military despotisrn
under which South Carolina labors will render it
impossible for the white race to cast the vote Of the
State at the next Presidential election, it is recon-
mended to the delegates appointed from this State
to ask the counsel of their brethren from other
States as to the propriety of their voting in the
Convention, and to govern themselves accordingly.
ResolUed, That having entire confidence in the
principles and patriotism Of the Democratic party,
and believing and trusting to their assurances that
they will, if triumphant, restore and maintain at
the South, as they have done in the North, in the
East and in the West, the supremacy and govern
ment of the white race--AwHrrE MANS GOVERN

they were before the enactment of said laws-we
