the eminent'honor conferred upon him. He
excorlated the Rebel Colservatiye Democrat
ic party without mercy and his yindleation.
Of the Republican policy was bold, manly
and unanswerable. He opened the treason-
able and disgracetul records Of Seymour and
Blair, showed up their alliance with the hor.
rid monstrosity, secession, which nearly
brought the country to ruin and anarchy.
The Rebels controlled the New York Conven-
ton, Hampton, Wade, Forrest, BarnelI, RLett
and other eminent rebel Generals. lie said
that his past course should be a guarantee Of
bis continued fidelity to his party and bis
country. He urged upon all Union men the
necessity Of voting the Republican ticket to
secure the permanency Of the result that had
followed the bloody issue of arms.
At the conclusion Of Col. Buffers speech
Of acceptance, Maj. A. H. .PettibOne appeared
upon the rostrum and made y short speech,
but one Of thrilling eloquence and power. He
accepted the dictatorship and returned his
thanks in a highly felicitious manner. We
are sorry that want Of time and space
prevent US from giving a full and detailed ac-
count Of this intelligent and enthusiastic as
Semblage of the people. The people have
spoken. 1t is an edict that political charIa-
tans must obey without a murmur. Not the
least discordi but every thing passed off as
the unobstructed flow of a stream. There
shonld now be no cayilltng, hat a hearty ac-
quiescence and the sunshine of victory will
illumine our banners.

Convention 10 assemble at Columbia,
on the second Monday in June next,
to appoint delegates to attend the Dem

settle, among other questions, that of
suffrage. To this call Charleston has
responded. . ~
The meeting was presided over by
the Hon. @. FL. S1MoNTox, who, upon
taking the chair, made a short, but
ablr, patriotic and judicious speech, con-
graduating the Democracy Of Charles

less, hut that she must take her proper
part in the political drama, concluding,
with just tribute to the Democratic
party OF the country Col. R. B.
RBrrT, Jr., offered the following reso-
lutions. ,i
Whereas, the white people of South
Carolina, Notwithstanding they are
without political power or influence in
the affairs Of the United States, and are
held by force of military power under
political disabilities, aud subjected to
the political control of the African race,
corrnptly used by transient persons,
have been invited by the. Democratic
party to join them and be represented
at their convention about to assemble
at the city Of New York on the fourth
day fully next; therefore,
Resolrea, That we agree with our fel-.
low citizens of Edgeheld, and it is the
opinion of this meeting, that the white
people of South Carolina, who, by per-
manent residence with the intention to
remain, or by payment of taxes, are
honestly citizens thereof, ought and will,
with but few and not influential excep-
tions, cordially accept this invitation.
Rsso1rea, That we sincerely regret
that the gentlemen, who lately assem-.
bled in Convention at Columbia, did
not, by timely public notice of their
intended meeting and its objects, or by
