The Democratic State Central Executive
Club, of South Carolina on the 10Th inst.
unanimously adopted resolution presented
by Wade Hampton, endorsing Gen. Lees
letter to Gen. Rosecrans. The sense of the
club is undoubtedly in favor of qualified ne
gro suffrage. An address to the people will
doubtless be issued in few days.
Cool and impudent Chairman Wallace,
of the Rebel Democracy State Central Com
mittee, is issuing flaming cards about Penn
sylvania being carried by ''grossest frauds"
of the Radicals. Mr.. Wallace should stain
his phiz with coffee, bundle up the fraudu-
lent naturalization papers, and emigrate 10
Mexico IL is funny to hear the Rebel De
moracy praiing about frauds Of the Radicals
when they cheated us fully six thousand
votes.
The New York san (Independent) says
of Connecticut The Democratic vote has
fallen off in many places, and especially in the
large towns in fact, degree of discourage
ment seems to have prevailed in that party,
while the Republicans were active and conf
dent. The consequence is that IL is no long
er possible TO count The State as likely to 80
for Seymour The tide which rose SO high
in Vermont and Maine has affected Connec-
lltul also.
Tic following paraphrasc of General
Boum's famous song IN the Grand Duchess
is greatly in favor with tuncful Democrats
North and South
Oseourse, you know I'm on parole,
My vote amt worth much at the poll
But go for Seymour with all my soul
And 50 will the Rebel army.

In ii new Confederate army.
The New York Mail, n neutral paper,
which we sometimes think shows Domo-
cratic leaning, says: The Presidential con
test is practically closed
The friends of Mr.. Seymour will do nc
more real fighting between this and the third
day of November. All interest is ut nm end.
The coming general election will seem like
mere iormality. The Republicans, indeed,
| will make speeches, and shout and shake
each other by the hand, and Democratic or.
ators will address thinly attended meetings
now and then. But all this will be mere
form on both sides The next three weeks
VIII be exceedingly unintercsting so far as
the Presidential contest is concerned.
The democratic executive committee OF
Georgia, have issued a circular denying the
representations OF republican speakers that
The Southern people favora re- establishment
Of slavery, and wish 10 deprive the freedmen
pi suffrage. The committee have adopted
resolutions pronouncing the statement Who'll

cratic party and people of Georgia are con
cerned, and dcduce as evidence tilc4iact that
Georgia has ratified the amendment to the
constitution of the United States forever

except for crime. The resolutions also ac-
quicsce in the present status of the colored
race, and promise them full protection in the
right of suffrage.
On the 18th of April 1865 General Gran,
addressed the following note to Gen. Lee
"Geaelut-The result of the last week

further resistance on the part Of the Army Of

General Il. Il. Lee.
We suggest that in view of the result d
the recent elections he address the SAINT
note, with slight alterations, to Mr. Scy
