The Committee of Conference with the
Central Executive Committee Of the Con-
vention Of April last, beg leave to report:
That in the discharge Of their duty,
they met that Committee in free confer
-encc, and after an unreserved interchange
of views, in which it became manifest
that each Committee was unanimous in
an earnest desire to harmonic and unite
in a common purpose, that Committee
submitted the following proposition, viz
'.The Central Executive Committee hav-
ing been invited to a Conference by the
Convention now assembled here, and
being most solicitous to secure harmony
in the State, beg leave to submit to the
Conference Committee now in session the
following basis of union, namely: That
the Convention proceed to the nomina-
tion Of delegates TO the National Demo
the delegation Of the State. And the
Executive Committee pledge themselves
to use all their efforts TO have these
nominations confirmed by all tire organi-
zations represented by the said Commit
lee. The Executive Committee further
recommend that an Executive Committee
be appointed by this Convention, to act
with that selected by the Convention in
April last; and that. in the opii'on Of this
Committee Of Conference, it is advisable
that the two Executive Committees ShcAld
be consolidated ut the earliest moment
possible"
Your Committee think that no stronger
evidence could have been offered of Il
spirit OF conciIation- ;:nd harmony than
this proposition presents. 1T otfirs TO
this Convention one-half the appointments
to the New Jerk Convention--lhc other
onc,half OF them only having been made
by the Convention Of April last.
This Committee thinks it nnbccoming
in this Convention TO revise the appoint
mcnt for one OF the Congressional Dis
trcls ol the State, namely, the Fourth,
that District not being represented in this;
Convention. We therefore recommend
that the appointments from that District
be declined, and, with this exception, the
proposition be accepted. Delegates at
large having been already appointed OF
residents of tho First and Fourth Dis
tricts, We recommend that, III appointing
the remaining two delegates and alter
mates, residents of The Second and Third
Districts, respectively, be selected, and
that this Convention appoint one dele
gate and two alternaLos from tho Second
District and one delegate and one alter
nate from the First AID Third Districts,
respectively.
We also recommend the appointment
:, 4
seven, and that, as suggested, the two
committees shall be consolidated at the
earliest moment possible; ALSO, that the
Executive Committee appointed by us be
authorized, TO fill any vacancies in the APP
pointmcnts made by us.

Rcsotoed, That thY Democratic party OF
this State duly appreciates and accepts
tho invitation from the Executive Com.
mitlce Of the Democratic party Of the
United States, to send Delegates to the
general Convention to be held in New
York, on the 4th day of July next, 10
nominate candidates for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency of the United States
but, inaslnuch as the military despotism
under which South Carolina labors will
render it impossible for the white race tc
cast the vote or the State, at the next
Presidential election, it is recommended
to the delegates appointed from this State
To ask the counsel of their brethren from
other States as to the proprlety OF theil
voting in the Convention, and TO govern
themselves accordingly.
RcsotOe'i That having entire confidence
in the principles and patriotism OF the
