NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA AT LOUIS.
VILE We suppose our home readers
would like to know by whom they are re-
presented in the so-called Democratic
Convention at Louisville. We have not
yet the full list Of delegates, bna the pro-
oeedings disclosed the following names:
On the Committee of Credentials there
is reported, w. r. Trout, of North Caro-
lima; L. D. Stokes, of South Carolina.
On the Committee on Organization, O.
w. Gassett, of North Carolina; E.. F.
Stokes, of South Carolina. Judge Jas.
Lyons. of Virginia, is President of the
Convention, and D. L. Faggner. (Frgg?,)
OF North Carolina, and Edward Stokes.
OF South Carolina, are among the Vice
Presidents. We do not know single
one OF the North Carolina representa-
tives. nor heard of any except the Radi-
Cal Gassett, Of Raleigh. nor do we know
the Stokes family, OF South Carolina.
No greater frand was ever perpetrated
upon the Democratic party of these two
States than such u representation in
such Convention IVilmington Journal.

oonE THINGS That GREELEY NEVER
DiD.-1t Is quite true, as the GRANTEES
tel US, that Grant has done several
things that Greeley never did, and
never could have done. These short
comings and liabilities extend beyond
the sphere of battles and sieges. to
which tho GRANTEES wish to restrict
them. Greeley never won battle, nor
concluded siege, nor crushed the egg.

put he never decorated his sinciput with
bumps like that For all his light-head-
edness, Greeley was never even charged
with needing to steady his errant and
sln9ous footsteps by lamp-post in his
evening meanderings. Greeley has
travelled good deal, but was never
dumped into q baggage-car like fshot
rubbish. He has taken part in g good
deal OF high old junketing and been
conspicuous at 8 good many banquets;

mahogany, and never permitted the legs
OF the mahogany to stand above his

confederates and relatives lay their nets
in Wall street for goldfish haul. Mr..
Greeley never owned q blooded trotter

never ridden behind Dexter, nor pa

experiences, it is possible that he may
think republic is better led than

between the political arena and dog

cauPaiSn. But, no! Mr O'COnOr in
his calm elevation disposes of the South,
incidentally. and by way of parenthesis,
IN few lines, and avows his unalterable
fidelity to Democracy. Now, let us ask
whnt the Democracy of this country has
done for lis in the last thirteen years,
and then see how far we are bound to
follow MIR. O'Copors lead. Our North
ern brethren deluded ns with the cry of
principle, and declared they would rise
at home it coercion was attempted, but
when war began, wo found them on our
front, flank and rear, engaged in estab-
fishing their reputation for "loyalty. !"
We met our Democratic brethren on
every battlefield, from Generals in Chief
down to the private soldiers. Appeals,
thon, like that of Mr.. O'Conor, in favor
OF his party, fall on idle ears in the
South. We desire the restoration of
local liberty, rs far rs it may be reco-
vered. We desire to see the machinery
OF government put to it's legitimate
uses. We desire to see public robberes
stopped. We wish to escape the Hate
Good judges and the bayonets. In one
word, We desire peace and tranquility;
and the election of Mr.. Greeley promises
US this. Indeed, if it did not, such is
the dreadful extremity of many States in
the South, that they would in this crisis
embody their political philosophy in the
dospAiring cry of anything for n
change!" and trust God for the result.
Aud it is III such wretched condition of

TELEGRAM TO TINE new YORK HERALD.

HAVANA, Sept. 9, 1872
News from Porto Rico by mail and telegraph
gives a sad picture of affairs on that island and
hints at outbreaks by the people.
Captain General La Tore refused to use the
troops to compel the natives to vote in favor OF
certain candidates, and the natives. being in i'm
mense majority, elected their candidates, incud-
ing several who had signed the manifesto demand
ing the disarming OF the volunteers. The conserva
tive, or Spanish party, abstained from voting ex-
cept at the capital where they elected General
SAM.
On the day subsequent to La Torres arrival on
the island he called the officers Of the regular army
together and indicated that, as q convenience and
necessity the army should vote and determine upon
q candidate from the district OF the capital asking
the volunteer officers to do the same. They all re-
fused to comply with the request.
The Captain General conflscated the edition OF
the Bo,ettn newspaper, the organ Of the ultra
Spanish party.
POLITICAL THEORY AS TO CAUSE AND CONSEQUENCE.
The Voz de CIbd says the conduct OF certain par
ties-meafing General La Torre-tends to the loss
OF the Lesser Ante. The natives OF the island are
overjoyed at the opportunity to elect candidates
who are true representatives Of their IDEAS aspira
tions and wants.
The ultra party of Cuba are chagrined at these
occurrences in Porto Rico, knowing that semi
abolition delegation from Porto Rico in the Cortes
must necessarily influence the slavery question In
