A Conservative Constitutional Club was or

Dogan was elected President, and Gen. W. W.
Wallace, Col. R. Macbeth and Major B. q. Rice

We. portion Of the citizens of Unionville,
believing that the Southern people are true to
constitutional liberty, and are ready to adopt
any policy looking to the honor and good OF
the whole country, and recognizing their duty
to sustain law and order, and maintain the
rights OF all classes of the people, do hereby
protest against the vindlctive and partisan
acts of Congress, as not only wrong IN pr1ncl-
pie, oppressive in action, and runous to both f
races, but crime against civilization and hu-
manity, which it is the duty of all good men
to discountenapce and condemn; and we here
bv associate ourselves together under the fol-
lowing brief articles as our organic law.
YORK.
A meeting of the conservative citizens has
been called at the courthouse on the first Mon
day in April to nominate suitable candidates
for senator and four representatives to the
legislature, from York District. The object OF
this meeting is 10 secure unanimity and a
concert of action among the conservative citi-
zens, and to select for the legislature men OF
intelligence and probity, who can be trusted
and appreciated by all classes and conditions
of our citizens, The Enquirer supports the
movement, and says:
The matter OF having the offices, created un-
der the constitution that is to be, filled by
suitable and competent persons, is one OF the
and common welfare of every community. a
proper effort will secure this. But all efforts
will be useless, unless We organize and concen'
trate the common-sense element upon suitable
nominees, and then work to secure their cleo
ton as men only can work, who have every.
thing staked Oh the issue. 1t is contest OF
decency, character and competency, against
vice, ignorance ara hate. No man will be safe
| if the latter class triumph in the local cleo,
| tions. If every man over twenty-one years OF
age, who is qualified and has heretofore failed
to do so, and will also give his aid and his vote
in favor of the competent nominees OF the con-
| servative meeting, we may arrest some OF the
evils that threaten us-in the future.
A meeting Of citizens was held at Rock Hill
on the oath, and a spirited preamble and reso'
lutions we're adopted, having in view the nomi
nation Of suitable candidates for the district al
large, for senator and members of the legisla
ture.
