. We the adopted citizens Of Charleston. OF

suit how, in this important period, We can pc
most useful to our adopted country. Wnilss aha
entertaining the fullest confidence IN tne
sense Of Justice Of the people OF South Caro-
lima, that they will allow US at aH times
reasonable representation, according to our
property and our population, in all pubic con-
Germs (and willingly ascribe it to an unlnten-
tional oversight, that our people are not repre-
sented by q single member In tne Gentfai Elk
eeutiye Committee,) we acknowledge 1t to be
our duty, although our counhymen are dlsln-
cined to interfere much in politics, to heartily
sustain the efforts to revive law and order,
progress and the gene:al welfare. We trust
in the possibility OF a restoration OF the gene
raj, f1eadly and frsternal sentiments OF the
nation. We desire 60 revival OF harmony ana
prosperity in our State and city; but W, are
Democrats, and as such, we believe that the
peace and the real veal OF the republic and OF
every section OF the same can only be revived
by Democratic administration, and that
rational and secure progress should not be
endangered by impossible schemes and new
tangled experiments, Therefore be II.
Charleston, heartily concur in the Democratic
platform, endorse every feature OF the game,
and deem the principles OF the National Demo
cratic party to be the true foundation OF the
restoration Of the Union and the perpetuation
OF the same. .,-.5sfa. I'D
q Resoloed, That we discover in modern re-
publicanism OF the Republican party only
mask for the most dangerous excrescences Of
Radicalism, viz: fanaticism Of every kind, and
The dishonest aselfshness which can only de-
termine in anarchy and despotism. - -"
9 8. Resoteed,- That whilst we, having come as
strangers in this land, have by thrift and In
dustry acquired property and wealth, have
been content to undergo long term OF probac
ton before having been permitted the rights
Of citizenship, the colored people Of the South
might be satisfied, and would act wisely, TO ac-
uuire prosperity and influence In the same
manner. -
4. Resoloed, That as Democratic organiza-
tions already exist IN the several wards or the
city and are we'll adapted to their objects, and
vide the party, except, as auxilliary associa-
tions for the good Of all, we will form Ger:
man Democratic society for the purpose OF
earnestly urging, through committees, our
countrymen generally to join and actively sup
port the clubs Of their respective yards, and
to energeticany promote the common cause.
