COLUMBIA, September. 9, 1871
My DEAR SIR: The Southern
Homo Of the 9Th instant, containing
your editorial on the policy to he
pursued by the Southern Stntos in
reference to tho next national Demo-
cratic convention, reached me day
or two ago, apd, along with it, tho
lottcr in which you were kind enough
to ask my opinion on this question.
Though | cann3t it!attcr myself that
any opiniops /, may entertain can
have the. weight your partiality would
induce you to attach, to them, most
checrfully. comply with, tho requcst
contained your letter IA because it
is only by. qqnsultation aud discus
sion among ,ou, selves that wo can
hope to act judiciously and harmoni-
ously. ...
1t would, perhaps, be sufficient TO
say that l concur fully in the views
you, have Expressed, as to tho impro~
pricty of the South taking any part
in tho approaching convention but
in Difference to your wishcs,I give,
briefly, the reasons which have in
duced this conviction in my mind.
|. The Southern delegates in ma
tional convention could exercise no
influence in shaping. the policy, max
ing up the Issues or selecting the
candidates for the next contest, with
out seriously injuridg the prospcc,
OF Dcnoclatic triumph. That this
would inevitably be tho case, is
proven by the result Of the last
Domocratic convention, where the
very presencc.of Southcrncrs was us.l
to prejudice. the action and to defeat
the candidates Of our party.
