Saturday Morning, June 6. 1868.
Tho Second Convention.

It appears that the Districts OF
Williamsburg, Orangeburg and Edge
field rather favor the movement sug-
gested in Charleston. and we suppose
that they do SO on the ground that
they are not prepared to concede
qualified suffrage to the colored man.
We have reason, however, to doubt
whether public sentiment would sus-
tain the move against the action of
the April Convention at least, in
Charleston and Edgefeld. We have
reason to declare that in both these
Districts there is a strong element that
fayors the moderate policy of the said
April Convention; and we suggest
that the assembling together of 200
orl300 men in Charleston and Edge
field can hardly be regarded as COM
mitting those Districts against the
movement which Hampton approves,
and which SO many good and true
statesmen in the State have adopted.
For ourselves, we hope that tho
South Carolina Democracy will be
moderate and conservative and poll
tic in their course. The great cause
of the South is now in danger, as we
firmly believe and have reason to
say, from the extreme utterances of
Democratic gentlemen both North
and South.
A great issue is before us. We
firmly maintain the rights of white
men, of course, and we stand by
the right of white men to political
control. But let us not go too far,
and thus fail to win. The fight be-
tween Grant and the Democratic
nominee will be'a hard one, and to
win in that fight our policy must
commend itself to the enlightened
conservatism of the whole country.
These ore our views; but, men Of
Charleston and Edgefield, let as not
diuide-South Carolina needs harmony
among he'' people.

The following anccdote is rotated
OF the English Court: One Queen
Somebody-possibly Charlotte, and
it may be Victoria-was unwell, and
it became necessary to rub her queen
ly head with brandy. A bottle was
bought and used, and Her Majesty's
rum-seller in ordinary was ordered to
supply one daily. Some twenty years
after, bill was brought in for soven
thousand three hundred and odd bot
ties of brandy, as many of gin, and
about twice as much of ale and other
varieties of spiritual confectionery. :

Meeting OF the Democratic Associn-
Ifon.


The Kershaw District Democratic
Association met on Monday, June l.,
at IL o'clock M, the President in the
Chair. The President having called
the Association to order, on motion
of Col. w. NJ. Shannon, Commit
tee OF Five was appointed to prepare
business for the meeting. The Com
mittee consisted of Col. w. M. Shan
non, Gen. J. D. Kennedy, DR.. j. +.
Tranthnm, DR.. T. S. Mellow and Mr..
James Dunlap.
After consultation, the Committee
submitted tho following resolutions,
which were adopted:
l. That ''The Kerehaw District
Democratic Club" unite most heartily
and sincerely with the sentiments
expressed at recent Democratic
meeting in Charleston, so far as they
convey desire for unity and har-
mony among the white people of the
State satisfied that, shorn of all
numerical force, our power must lie
In u moral strength, which cannot
exist in divided counsels.
2. That we would gladly meet in
council those in whose integrity and
principles we have entire confidence,
believing that they and we differ only
in views of the policy likely to pro-
duce the desired result, but we are
reluctantly constrained to perceive
That in the programme suggested, as
we'll as in the spirit exhibited at the
meeting in Charleston, seeds of dis
trust and discord are apparent, which
would inevitably produce serious and
dlstracting divisions, and too, upon
unnecessary points, of which Con
stitutional Democratic Convention
could not consistently assume juris-
diction.
8. That, therefore, we respectfully
decline to join the Convention called
to assemble in Columbia, on Monday
next, the 9Th of June, and instead.
suggest, rs additional nominees to
the National Democratic Conyen-
tion," to assemble in New York, in
July next, the following names:
For the State at Large-Hon. W.
d. Porter, Hon. Wade Hampton.
For First Congressional District
Hon. John A. Inglis.
Respectfully submitted by

Pecu linritfes OF the Colored Nam
The Lite Election.


Those familiar with the character
istics of the negro, as developed in
the South, are not surprised ut their
wayward conduct. We hardly think
that gratitude can he ranked among
their chief virtues. They look to
their immediate good. They let the
bone go, and grasp ut the shadow.
What was their conduct during the
TIRES that tried mems souls =? Some
times they acted handsomely. But
how often was it that tho trusted
servant and the most indulged turned
and betrayed his benefactor, whilst
he. who perhaps had been s.ernly
dealt with, remained faithful? (? And
what their conduct now? Who are
the Southern men, leaving ont the
carpet.bag crowd, that they now pin
their faith to throughout the entire
South ? Is it to the minister who
taught them the word of God, or
the planter who built chapels for
them, and treated them humanely
and with uniform consideration /?
No. But they put their faith in
those who were perhaps the severest
task-masters, or in those who bought
and sold them, and who, without
compunction, may perhaps have vio-
lated NIL the decencies even of that
business. This is the inconsistency
OF these people, end these peculiari
ties show how unfit they are, rs a
mass, to exercise the privilege Of
voting, when they so often raise to
places Of profit and trust the vilest
scum in the community.
This is o beautiful state of affairs
when, as in this District, Beuer-
~ NASH, a negro man, controls the
majority Of the voters s-lke an Afri-
can King and when Phineas Frazee
is elected to the important office of
the Sheriffalty! These are only
some of the fruits of negro supremacy.
And yet there are men whose blood
flows slowly at the thought of these
unnatural abnormal events.

MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATIC
CLUD.-A large and enthusiastic
meeting Of the Club took place lust
evening. Defent does not dampen

One of the most interesting of our
State exchanges is the Yorkville
Enquirer, handsomely printed and
large newspaper, and filled with
excellent matter. Our friend, Mr.. j.

tor to its columns, and the other edi-
tors IRE also able and accomplished.

We have received no official re-
turns OF the Richland election. Ru-
NOR says that some of the country
boxes have been spirited away. Ger
tainly, there has been some bungling,
and the report of the votes in our
estimate of yesterday is regarded us
falling far short Of Democratic ex-
pectations.

Tie radical Sheriff elect was sere-
naded, Inst night, by'a crowd of 300
or 400 negroes. He made brief
speech, of which we shall not at
tempt q synopsis at this late hour,
but thank him, however, for his al.
lusion to the ''subtle press and its
talented editors" During the de-
livery of his speech, he was frequent
ly Kissed by some soldiers Of the gar
rison, whose barracks are opposite
his residence.

beamed upon us has gone out in

be satisfied. Let men try the a,yu-

Our lately elected radical Sheriff,
A1r. Frazee, who purchased the sta
bles formerly conducted by Mr..
Hitchcock, will soon discover that
worn-out vehicles and old horses,
costing in all over $40, 900, will not
pay rs an investment. They will be
left to his colored friends in election
times, and he will realize, by actual
experience, that negro votes and ne
gro patronage will not support n live
ry stable. No radical legislation can

A Leap Year Lament.

Bother tits leap year, boys,
Awful to think of it;
Ruin is yawning, boys,
We're on the brink of it;
Victims to woman's schemes,
Each of us, all of US,
Sure as we are living, boys,
They'll be the fall of us.
Fall of us, all of US,
Bachelors, young and old;
Maidens are planning, boys,
Nothing their tongues can hold,
Planning all sorts of things
Awful to think of it!
Ruin approaches, boys,
We're on the brink of it.
Confound the girls, I say,
Tyrants the whole of them
Binding US wretches, boys,
To the control of them;
Shy of the witches, boys,
For we are weak you know,
Worst of it they know it
Shame I must speak it so!
Popping the question, boys,
That's what they'll do to US,
If we but give the plaques
Half side view of us;
Red lips and sparkling eyes,
Well, let me think of it;
Heigh sa0ect ruin, boys,
I like the brink of it.
