TO THE DEMOCRATIC CLUBS OF SOUTH
CAROLINA.


CAROLINA.
The Central Executive Committee ap-
pointed by the Convention held here in
April last, be to lay before the Demo
cratic Clubs which they represent, the
following statement
On-the second Monday of this month,
Convention, met here, in which -
Districts of tie State were represented
The first action taken by that Conven-
tion, was to appoint a committee to
confer with the undersigned, members
of the State Central Executive Com
mittee, witht view OF reconciing, If
possible, those differences which. had un-
happily ariseu in the State. We met
this committee, in full and free confe-
renee, and, after this interchange Of
views, We submitted the following pro.
position as an equitable and amicable
adjustment of ali the questions which
threatened to produce dissension among
the Democracy of the State.
"The Central Executive Committee,
having been invited to q conference by
the Convention now assembled here, and
being most sohcitous 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 NOM
ination Of delegates to the National Dem
ocratic Convention at New York, to fill
up the delegation of the State. And the
Executive Committee pledge themselves
to use all their efforts to have these NOM
nations confirmed by all the organiza-
tions represented by the said Com.
mittee. The Executive Committee fur
ther recommend, that an Executive Com.
mittee be appointed by this Convention
to act with that selected by the Conven-
tion in Apri! last =; and that, in the
opinion of this Committee of Conference,
it is advisable that the two Executive
Committees should be consolidated at
the earliest moment possible"
This proposition met the unanimous
approval Of the Lommittee of Conference,
and was ratified: by the Convention with
the same unanimity. 1t is now sub.
United to the Democratic CluhS, repre-
sented by the Executive COMMITTEE, ), with
an earnest hope that it will receive their
hearty and cordial endorsement. This
action, on their part, is all that is needed
to secure full and perfect accord through
ont the State-an object of paramount
Importance to US all. 1t will be Oh.
served that the Executive Committee
have not assumed to themselves the right
or the power to make an unconditional
agreement. They only propose plan,
which in their judgment, will be pro.
ductive of the happiest results, and
which they venture to urge the Demo
cratic Clubs 10 aslopt and ratify.
The Committee cannot close without
expressing. in tho most emphatic man.
ncr, their sense of the spirit Of. concilia.
ton and the earnest desire for harmony,
which marked the conduct Of the late
Convention and they beg to invoke. on
the part of those whom they represent, a
like manifestation of the same laudable
spirit. We appeal confidently to the
Democratic Clubs to meet promptly the
proffcrs Of peace and union held out to
them, in the full assurance that such &C.
tion cn their part will place the State in
its proper positi"n-one of perfect har-
mpny and co7,lial cooperation between
all sections. Respectfully.
