The State Republican Convention. eaw
sgAftef asessieDcftwo days, in which there was
much. ina sTTmpnious conGuct among Che menl- men
bsss, the State Republican Convention ad,
iouyned at q late hour on Tuesday night of last
week. The choice iof delegates to the Phila-
aslphia Convention, as was intimated,. in our
list iissne, was not calculated to produce har-
inepy or, concordant feelings among the faithful
adherentsiofT the great party ofmoral ideas and
Immoral actions, and we are not surprised to
fnd that the result is disfasteful to portion of
the Radical brethren. "a Even 1.-The Columbia
Uision expresses lbs condemnation Of the selec-
Gen of delegates, and asserts that the Repnbi-
can party win regret their choice in less than six
Bonths. AS we understand the result, the
Mackey. and Scott interest carried the day, and
they are determined to make good use of their
sdyantage by making it condition precedent
to Voting for Grant in the Phiadelphia Con-
vention, that the Federal of6ce-holdera in South
Carolina shall give way 10 the favorites Of their
own faction; By this means, they hope to tri-

.,ResplueJ, By the Unior. Republican party Of
the State of South Carolina, in convention as
uembled, that we endorse the administration Of
1J.os.Ionk TT Grant in In nd sTlccpsSfll
policy which has reduced the national debt
while lessening the public taxes, and al the

aResoigsd, That tho profound gratitude of the
Republicans Of South Carolina is due to the
Republican majority in the, Forty y-second Com
gress, for the enactment Of the act to enforce
the fourteenth amendment to the constitution
of the United States, and to President o. S.
Grant .for his prompt aad timely enforcement
of the act whereby the armed bands organized
and operated by the Democratic party for
die suppression Of free speech and free bal
ut in South Carolina have been themselves
Suppressed. :. -, ,...'.s,..-y .,.,.,....,
.ResSsvea, That while we thus accord meri-
ted endorsement to the man who, In peace as
in war, has deserved the we'll done of the whole
country, We respectfully, but earnestly remon-
appointments that have been made IN this State
during. the past three years. Whereby the
Republican party Of South Carolina has been
wounded in the house Of its friends; and we
do here express our belief that such appoint
ment Of persons not in sympathy with the Re
publican party of the State, or nation, is due
hreeiy to the Misrepresentation made to the
President by United States Senator F. A. Saw
Ia o.. -
'Rsso,ssds, That the National Republican par
ty having declared in its platform of 1868 in
favor Of amnesty, we do hereby instruct our
delegates To the National Republican Conyen-
ton to move and advocate the adoption of o
clause in the national platform in favor Of the
rigid enforcement of universal civil rights for
every American citizen on every inch OF. Amer
ican soil, and their full and equal enjoyment
Of all public privileges.
Gov. r. K. Scott was proposed as delegate
from the State at:large, but his name was with
drawn sna letter from him was read to the
Convention, in which it is gently insimated
that he is willing for his particular friends to
receive this honorable recognition from the
party, whereas his acceptance would necessari-
" exclude such as have proved at all times true
and unshrinking Republicans. But, as salvo
for this patient, selfsacri6cing spirit upon the
part of the Governor, the Convention just tIprior
to adjournment adopted the annexed remarka-
BE resolution, which deserves to be recorded
as an appropriate ending to their valuable Ia
bors in behalf of the corrupt "Ring" now con-
trolling the Republican party and the State
Resolsed, BY the Republicans of the State
of South Carolina, in convention assembled,
that we do hereby endorse Governor Robert K.
Scott, as a true Republican aud faithful public
officer
