The Central Democratic Club OF

Resolutions offered by Col. Rion:
ReSolretl. That in the opinion of
the Democracy of Fairfield, it is
neither expodient nor desirable for
another Convention to be holden in
Columbia, inasmuch us the real senti.
ments and opinions of the State were
fully and truly represented by the
Convention, held on the 9th and 7th
of April last; and the citizens of
every portion of the State had ample
notice to enable them to be repre-
sented at the last named Convention,
had they ut that time chosen to avail
themselves of the privilege.
Resolued, That it is inexpedient to
depart from the position taken by
the Columbia Convention on the suf-
frage question, inasmuch rs the same
has received the hearty sanction of
the Northern Democracy, as apply
ing to South Carolina.
Resolued, That inasmuch rs in the
elections already holden, pledges
have been made and votes obtained,
and organizations have been effected
upon the said suffrage platform,
honor now forbids our withdrawing
from the same.

The Truo Course for tho Southern
Democracy.
We observe that the Mercury, and
other Southern journals, are advocat-
ing warmly the claims of this and
that gentleman for the next Presi-
dency. We trust that this. matter
may be left to the North and the
New York Convention. The great
fight will be at the North, and we
hope that such man will be selected
as will most probably carry the
Northern States. We have no fears
but that the party selected will be
found agreeable to the South. We
shall conform our policy and our
preferences to the most available
candidate for the Northern Demo
cracy.

JOHN S. AsHE.-On Saturday even
ing last, with the setting of the sun,
passed to eternal reposo all that was
mortal Of this chiyalric Carolina gen.
tleman.
Col. Ashe was born in 1896, of
wealthy parentage, whose ancestry
cc"!a he traced far buyond tho first
settlement Of this State and through
the long years of his brilliant and
unexceptionable life demonstrated by
his characteristic hospitality, un-
blemished rectitude and earnest loyal
ty to all that was honorable in his in
tercourse with his fellow-citizels, the
full fruition Of inherited love for his
native State, and her social customs
and institutions.
For many years he occupied IL seat
IN the Senate Of this State, and was
n welcome compecr in the councils
and domestic associations of the
Hamptons. Haynes, Prestons and
other honored sons of Carolina
whilst in private life he devoted him
self to agricultural pursuits and the
encouragement Of material improve
ments. Generous, bravo and accom-
plished, he gathered around him u
host of friends wherever he went and
to them his demise, though not nu-
expected, as Col. Ashe has been an
invalid for nearly twelve years, is nm
affliction which bears with it no
palliation save the thought that it
has given him rest from the pangs of
disease.
His obsequies will be solemnized
to-day. Charleston Courier, June l.

a gentleman just from Washington
informs an exchange that cruel
joke was perpetrated on Butler (I'icn-
yune) md his family, the other day.
While the carriage of this notorious
old thief and scoundrel was standing
in front of n gentleman's residence,
Mrs. and Miss Butler having gone in
to make coll, some person stealthily
approached and tackled n pewter
spoon to one of the panels of the
vehicle. It was unobserved by the
driver, and the carriage WAS driven
for several hours, and into nearly
every part of the city, displaying oil
ensign drmorial, singularly character
istic, but so mortifying to the family,
that the ladies have not been in pub

curt remarks in relation to O fool
ish statement, that Generals Hamp-

in which statement there is an entire

s'NEaRo SUFFRAGE DEMOCRATS. -
The Charleston Daily Ne,os publishes
the following among its local items.
Our readers know it to be an alb
:surdity. But it is n beautiful COM
mentary upon Maj. Thomas qualified
negro suffrage resolution at Colum-
bia, and upon tho course of the
Phanic. which he is editing"
Now, it happens that the resolu-
tion referred to did not originally
emanate from the party referred to
although it lid receive his endorse
ment then, and does now. Further,
we may remark that the Mercury is
disposed to bo moro pointed than
eloquent in calling that resolution
"Major Thomas qualified negro suf-
frage resolution at Columbia.
Allow us to remark that the resolu-
ton has far more influential and
honored names to commend it, viz:
the names of Ex-Gor. Is. F. Perry,
Hon. Gabriel Cannon, General J. s..
Preston, Gen. James Chestnut, Hon.
A. Burt, Gen. Samuel McGowan,
Hon. w. D. Porter, General Wade
Hampton, aud number of other
true and wcll-tried men of this State.
Further-the resolution referred to
was adopted by Convention of this
State, representing over twenty Dis
tricts, actually represented, and others
that have since organized under the
auspices of that Convention.
But let rs ask the Mercury, why
couple the name it uses with that
resolution? Wo admit that the name
does not add much weight to the
resolution, yet it is equally true thai
it does not impair tho forco of the
resolution.
Now, we would suggest this to the
Mercury-that it ignore the name, j
1t will, and deal with the argument.
that have been advanced.

industrial Development and How
Secured.

Looking at the Iutureo OF Ln1s otate'
in 9. business.like point Of view, it
must occur to- every rejecting mind
that this can be made secure only by
industrial Development -by;material
agencies and their application in an
intelligent way. But to effect this,
we need both Northern capital and
Northern mechanical skill and ex-
perience. But we may well ask how
are these to be aecured? We answer,
by opening the door, and they will
come to give lib what we so sadly
need. But again, what will tend to
open the door, and what to close it?
That is the important query. We
answer-let any one reflect upon the
feeling North and the apprehensions
of Northern capitalists, and the solu-
tion of the problem viii occur to his
mind. The eaistence or prospect Of
radical negro rule-this sOiH close the
door to Northern capital, aohich aoe so
much require to heal our ,Oounds and
ret,ieue our fortunes; aohilst a Demo-
cratic success, ,Ohich giues assurance Of
security to person and prosperity, and
to Investments, this aOiA open the door
to the Northern and foreign element Of
1reaAh and personnel that are essential
to our saludtion.
Hence, it is the obvious duty of
merchant, mechanic, farmer and labor
e''s generally to work against radical
ism, which tends to the utter pros
tration of business; and equally is
it their duty to work for, and to Sc
cure, the triumph Of the wise, just,
moderate and equitable principles of
the great Democratic party-a party
conservative and properly toned, and
based upon truth, justice and the
Constitution-and party wAich,
aohilst it does not ignore Me just claims
of any portoin Of the people, 6ra0ely
and decisively maintains that the politi-
cal control Of this great country. ertend-
ing from the Lakes to the Gulf, and
from tie Atlantic to the Pacific, Of
right and Of necessity, belongs to The
10000, 900 aShites, and not to tie 4OO,-
600 blacks inha6iting il.
In South Carolina, then, let us set
up our banner, and write upon it in
letters of living light these words:

A CAMPAIGN PAPER.-The proprie-
tor Of the Phoasir has received seve-
raj communications from prominent
and influential gentlemen of the up
country, asking that he publ sh, for
the benefit Of the conservative peo-
pie of the State-black. and white
alike-a cheap campaign paper, de-
voted especially to political informa-
tion and suggestions and truths, to}
the end that the cause of the DemeS
cratic party be strengthened, and
that whites and blacks alike may
realize that the peace and prosperity
of the State depend upon the adop-
ton of the conservative principles
set forth in the platform of the De-
mocratic party of this State. He has
conferred with the State Central
Executive Committee of the party
here, and they advise that, inasmuch
as the Phtenir is already carrying out
the views which our friends of the
upper country desire enforced, the
Weekly Cleaner, issued from this
office, and containing the matter OF
our daily issues, be directed to the
campaign purposes alluded to. He
proposes, therefore, to devote one
half of the Cleaner to political mat
ters, and to make it, par excellence, q
paper for the political use and pur-
poses of the conservative movement
in this State. The Weekly Cleaner,
for the next six months, will, there
fore, be furnished at the following
rates.

The proprietor may add, that tile
Phtenic will continue to do the best
it can for its patrons, and as its pros
poets improve. will elements Of new
interest be added to the paper.
The Baltimore Sun does not be-
lieve that the Democrats propose, or
will attempt, to reverse the radical
Legislation which they so strongly
condemn, on the subject of recon
struction. It says ''the Indications
are that they will rather accept the
situation, treat negro suffrage as q
fixed fact, and go in with all their
might to get the colored vote" And
it adds that elf Congress goes ahead
with the admission Of the Southern
States, under the constitutions that
have lately been framed, the question
of giving the negroes the ballot will
be rs much Il matter Of the past by
the time the Democratic Conven-
ton meets, as the question of giving
them their freedom is now" But
Mr.. Brooks. in Congress-, recently
gave the Republicans distinctly to
understand that it was the intention
of the Democracy to reverse oil they
had done on this subject, as soon rs
it got the power. We shall know
all about this after the Fourth of
July.

"HoNon TO OUR WoRKMEN. In
our State. we must elevate and dig
nifty and honor labor-in its every
legitimate form. The pnth to re-
nown, in this commonwealth, leads
through the worship of Vulcan. Our
women must accept the Chinese
maxim. which requires four things of
women-thnt virtue dwell in her
heart; that modesty play on her
brow; that sweetness flow from her
lips; that Industry occupy her hands.
But. especially, must our young
men learn that to labor is honorable,
and that, better for him and his
country is it to be good carpenter,
a good blacksmith, good bricklayer,
good machinist, than to become an
Indifferent lawyer, q village politician,
poor doctor, or preacher that hns
missed his calling. We advocate the
dignity Of honest toll, and its utility
too.
Whom shall we call our heroes,
10 whom our praises sing
The pnmpercd child of fortune,
The titled lord or King?
They live by others labor,
Take NIL. and nothing give
The noblest types of manhood
Are they who work to live.
Then honor to our workmen,
Our hardy sons of toll
The heroes of the workshop,
And monarchs of the soil.
Who spans the earth with iron,
And rears the palace dome
Who creates for tho rich man
The comforts Of his homo
It is the patient toiler-
All honor to him, then
The true wealth of nation
Is in her working men.
Then honor to our workmen, sc.
For many barren ages,
Earth hlu her treasures deep,
And all her giant forces
Seemed bound rs in sleep;
Then Labor's "nnvil chorus"
Broke on the startled air,
And 10 the earth, in rapture,
Laid MI her riches bare
Then honor to our workmcr, &c.
'.Tis toll that, over nature,
Gives man his proud control,
And purifies and hallows
The temples of his soul
It startles foul disease.
With all their ghastiy train
Puts iron in the muscle
And crystal in the brain.
Then honor to our workmen, sc.
The Grand Almighty Builder,
Who fashioned out the earth,
Hath stamped His seal of honor
On labor from her birth.
In every angel flower
That blossoms from the sod,
Behold the Master touches
The handiwork of God
Then honor to our worImen,
Our hardy sons Of toll,
The heroes of the workshop,
