(, MIR. EDITOR: We send cheering
news from Onion. At the election
in1April the radicals carried, the Dis
trict BYE maj jority of near 700.9 At
the recent election, the majority of
the Democratic party, with ia full
radical ticket in the field, reached the
high figure, Of 1900. For this result,
we are not indebted to any lukewarm-
ness on the part of radical leaders,
nor to tie acquiNat Of The President,
but altogether to the enthusiasm of
our party, and the determination on
the part of every one to enlighten,
and exert their influence on, the freed
men in their employment.
Since the result of the election has
been made known, radicals arc rs
scarce as blue roses. UNION.

A CAMPAIGN PAPER. The proprie-
tor of the PAenir has received seve-
raj communications from prominent
and influential gentlemen of the up
country, asking that lie publish, 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-
ton and suggestions and truths, to
the end that the cause of the Demo
cratic party be strengthened, and
that whites and blacks alike may
realize that tho 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 Phenir 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, pa, excellence, q
paper for the political use and pur-
poses of the conservative movement
in this State. Tho Weekly Cleaner,
for the next six months, will, there
fore, be furnished at the following
rates:
To single subscribers. 81 so

The proprietor may add, that the

it-can for its patrons, and MS its pros

The Late Democratic Convention II
South Carolina.


The Lntc Democratic Convention In
South Carolina.
Col. John P. Thomas, of the De-
mocratic Central Executive Commit
tee of South Carolina, has written o
reply to tho recent letter of Judge
Aldrich, condemning the action Of
the late Democratic State Conven-
ton, particularly rs relates to the
question of suffrage. He complains
also Of the structures of the Charles
ton Mercury. aud protests against it's
Misrepresentation of the principles
and policy of the gentlemen who
composed the Convention. He says
that when the April Convention re-
cognized the colored population of
the State as nm element of the body
polite, it meant to say, that when
the slaves were emancipated by the
act of the State Convention
rather, when the Convention for the
State acknowledged their emancipu-
tion-the colored people became,
ipso facto, invested with civil rights,
Us part of the body polite, and
we're, lin person and property, enti-
tied to full and equal protection
under the State Constitution and
laws"
In conclusion, he gives the follow
ing rs, in his opinion, the views and
principles of the Democratic party
of South Carolina, ns now organized
under tho auspices of tho April Con-
vention:
l. We maintal.,. "with President
johnson and tho whole Democratic
party North, that the whole recon
struction programme enacted and to
| be enacted under the military bill OF
Congress, is unconstitutional, illegal
and properly null and void.
2. We, therefore, repudiate the
admissions made by Gov. Orr, in his
address to the so-cnlled Constitu-
tional Convention, wherein he nc-
knowledged the legality of that body.
3. we maintain, that to the States
belongs the question of negro suf-
frage. And, further, believing On
affirmative declaration on this sub
ject expedient and essential to party
vitality, and move in the direction
of Justice and fair dealing, we deem
it becoming and right now to say
what, in our sovereignty, we would
be willing to concede to the colored
element. And, further, the negro
clement in our midst being large
ono, we deem IL statesmunship not io
ignore ii.
4. We appreciate, Us fully as any,
the dignity and claims of the white
race, and contend that their political
control of this State, and the conn
try at large, is right which must
never be given up. This must be,
and shall be, par excellence, a white
mans Government.
5. But, at the same time, confident
and strong in the knowledge of the
white mans power, influence and re-
solve, we hold it magnanimous, just
and right, to giue Tie coloyed man a
fair sho,oing, and to set premium
upon industry, intelligence and
worth. whenever these elements are
found in him. We would extend no
consideration to the black mans
radical advisers from the North, nor
to his renegade adherents South
but, rs respects the great mass of the
colored people themselves, in consi-
deratlon of their own inexperienced,
and the influences to which they have
been subjected, we are disposed to
indulge them yet longer.
