The COLUMBIA CONVENTION. Owing
to the very small attendance of our citi-
zens on sale day last, and the diversity
of opinion as to the propriety of action
in the premises, there was no appoint
ment of delegates to the Columbia Con-
vention. So that Abbeville will not be
represented in that body. AS far as we
arc able to gather the sentiments of our
people, they regard the holding of the
Convention, ut this time, as premature,
and would deprecate the nomination now
of n State ticket ut Columbia. In these
views, we concur, though we favored the
appointment of delegates, as the best
mode of impressing these considerations
upon the Convention. If, therefore, the
Convention should arrive at this conclu-
sion, their action will lneet, We feel as
sured, the full concurrence of the people
of Abbeville.

-.sThe Balance OF Power"

at The meeting in Winnsboro to ap-
point delegates to the June Convention,
COL! Rion, d prominent citizen OF Fair
field. took ground in favor of ''the bal
.anbe of power" programme. he pro-
;poses that those who oppose the present
dishonest administration should not
nominate candidates Of their own, but
s6dhld, in all cases of division among
our opponents, take the least OF two
evils, that is, the candidate who may be
Che more honest of the two. AS this
programme seems to be deemed diplo-
matte and sagacious by some Of our as
.sociates, we would he pleased to have
the scheme somewhat explained. 1t is
mot favorite plan with u.s.. But before
discussing it in all its bearings, will some
one do us and the public the favor of
celebrating the idea. The plen is based
upon the contingency of O division
amongst our opponents. Whatif there
be no division? Again, the plan is based
upon the possibility of one radical can-
didate being more honest than the other.
Suppose they are both black as-the
ace of spades-we mean in character?
What then? Again, we would like to
have the merits OF posiliue and negatirs
dorces discussed. Are men coolly and
deliberately to waive standing up for the
right, and to be satisfied with the lesser
of two wrongs? This is not in our philo-
aophy.

DEMOCRACY IN OHIO. to the
course of the Ohio Democracy, in ignor-
ing the matter of negro suffrage, the
Anderson InteNigencer anticipates our
views in the following remarks:
at may be expected that changes will
rapidly take place in political parties,
with the issues of the past no lorg or be-
fore them, and amid these changes the
Democratic party has everything to gain,
so long as it appeals to the solid inte-
rests of the people against the grasping
monopolies now fostered and sustained
by their opponents. In this work of re-
formation, and rest Grafton to safe, eco
nomical government. we are heartily in
accord with the National Democracy.
for it has recently evinced this spirit in
New York, to great extent, equally
favorable as in Ohio. It's leaders in
Doth of these great States have demon
.strated their ability to meet the radical
party on vantage ground, and we have no
direction, and pursue the path that leads
to ultimate victory. The defeats and
discomftures of the past are no longer
to stare them in the face, presagng the
death of q great and powerful organiza-
zion; but with re-animated vigor and
hopeful encouragement from the masses,
there will be erected a wise. liberal and
progressive Democracy, with justice for
its standard, and the true principles of
republican government for its founda-
aion and support.
The Metropolitan Record says:
s'Senator Thurman declared, when
speaking against the infamous fifteenth
amendment bill, that its passage would
certainly restore the Democratic party
to power in Ohio. We think the ticket
and platform of the Democratic Conven-
ton, which met in Columbus on the 1st
instant, will greatly assist the amend
-ment bill in the work of dislodging the
radicals. The platform is ono Of the
clearest and strongest ever presented. 1t
condemns the general policy of the ad-
ministration, especially its profigacy
and corruption and its disregard of the
rights of American citizens abroad, pro-
tests against the high tariff and national
banking systems, demands the equaliza-
tlon OF taxes aud the taxation of bonds,
and denounces 'the trucking of the
Federal Administration to Great Britain
and Spain and the efforts of the party in
power to reduce whole States in our
Union to n condition of vassalage to the
General Government The Convention
wisely, we think, avoided the greenback
question, on which the party was not
wholly united two years ago. This ques-
tion does not now possess the importance
it had at the last general election, and its
agitation in the form in which it was
then presented, could not do much good.
The prospects of the Democratic party
in Ohio have steadily improved, and
with the platform on which the party
now stands, success at the next election
is almost certain"
