A Curious SToRY.-An old servant of
Mr.. Charles Perkins (lately decccs,d), by the
name Of Edward Nash, was carried to the
Poor House few days since, and remained
there under treatment for eleven days, du-
ring which time not one mouthful of food
passed his lips, he resolutely refusing to
touch it, saying that he did not desire to

are informed he ate nothing for seven days
before he was carried to the Poor House,
making eighteen days during which he sys-
tcmatically starved himself. VIZ doubt if
there be a moro curious case reported by
the medical authors, than this one, or astrong-
er attachment towards one who had cared
for him through life and from whom he did
not desire to be separated even by the King
of Terrors.

without injury tc Greeley's prospects. The
majority of the people understand themselves,
the nature of the crisis upon us, and need
not to be told or instructed who to support.
Those welded to their idols will vote for
Grant, if fRepublicans, or not vote at all, if
Bourbon Democrats, while those who seek to
rescue the country from the sway of party
prejudice, will vote for Greeley.
Here let US leave the question for the
present, earnestly hoping that the session
Of the Baltimore Convention may be so
directed that the calm confidence of strength
as portrayed by our ideal of Wisdom may be
felt by tile country to have been the hand
which controlled and the gcnious that
swaycd the deliberations of that body.

The Baltimore 'COnvention-Vhat
1t Ought To Do.

The time is rapidly approaching when in
our opinion the destinies Of this great country
for the next four years, will be settled.
1t seems to US to be almost an axiom that to
nominate Greeley at Baltimore will do more
to defeat him than any other single thing
that could be done. What is the organism
of the Baltimore Convention composed of?
How did it originate? Democratic meet
ings were held in the various counties, at
which were elected delegates to Democratic
State Convention, and these in turn elected
representatives to tho National Democratic
Convention to assemble on the 9th instant
at Baltimore. That Convention, is therefore,
Democratic or it is nothing.
That Convention assemblies for the single
purpose Of nominating candidate for the
Presidency, which candidate, VIC hope will
be Horace Greeley, who is Republican or
nothing. If, therefore, this Democratic
Convention nominate Greeley, Mr.. Grant is
correct when he declares that it will then
be the same old original contest between
Democrats and Republicans
This shows the harm which Democratic
Conventions were likely to d. and was the
reason why VIC were unfavorabIe to them
from the first.
But that question having been already
settled, the much more grave and mo-
ucntous one arises as to what should be the
action of the Baltimore Convention.
From what has been said, it is our opinion
of course, that no nomination should be made
for the effect of nomination might possibly
rc-unite the Republican Party, and would
certainly prevent many persons tavorably
to Greeley from voting for him, while it
would not cause the Democracy to vote
more solidly for him.
The more influential Liberal Republican
Journals out West, favour the course Of ae-
tien wo advocate, and surely they should
have great Influence, as knowing the mind
and. temper Of the Greeley and Brown
supporters at the North, better than we
possibly could.
It is true that what VIC advocate is not
what usually occurs at nominating Conven-
tions, but in the present great upheaval OF
popular sentiment, it is the part of wisdom
to lay aside the nominal for the real and
vital question, and subordinate the advoca-
cy Of party principles to the salvation Of the
country.
This can best ho done, it seems to us,
by the declaration of the Convention that it
willnot make a Democratic nomination and
there step Further than that it cannot 50

them. But there cannot now be any excuse
for 50 blind and drivclling fatuity as this.
South Carolina Radicalism has been inimical
not only (though chicay) to the Southern
whites, but destructive also Of the true in
tcrcsts Of every honest man Of every party,
so despicablc and detcstablc has it become,
as to raise clamor for reform and paci6ca
tion from every true Republican in the party.
Let us all aid to the extent of our power in
itsrcf1rn,b but let it not by descending into
the abb SIS Of corruption into which they
have plunged. Let our young men be pa
ticnt and true, and all will yet be we'll with
them. The South is rapidly righting her
self. In many of the States the gospel of
hate, still so rife here, falls on unwilling
cars. The American people possess too
many of the clements of manly, Christian
character long to countenance government
and policy based on a malignant hatred of
brave though conquered people. Liberal
Republicans everywhere raise the white ban,
ners Of peace, Inscribed with amnesty to all
and the perpetual obligation Of the recon-
struction amendments, and Southerners flock
to the standard, though it be born by the
Arrh Radical, Horace Greeley. When a
foe offers peace it is no degradation to ac-
cept the profer Of friendship, but so long
as the foul stream of hate is passed upon
our people, our principles, our martyred
dead, it is the basest desertion to accept the
alliance of that form of Radicaiism. In
Richmond but the other day the remains of
the Confederate soldiers who fell at Gettys-
burg worc reintered at Hollywood cemetery
with fitting pomp and pagcantry: They were
escorted by the FIRST Virginia regiment, and
their well.known band-that regiment and
band so familiar to many Of us eleven years
ago. Take heart of grace, wcak-hcarted
countrymcn God no longer hides his face
in the Old Dominion. Be faithful and true
and all will yet be we'll with you. Take the
noble Lee for your excmplar. A gentleman

the General, che fought on the other side,
but we must not think of that" What but
such a:spirit is wanting to the restoration of
a happy, proud Amsrcanism We must
not expect the Northern man to justify the
rcbcllion-that would make him traitor to
his principles and his people. Hemust not
expect US to Justify our compassionate

and people. Let each conccdc to the other
honesty and sincerity, which certainly is due
to both; and there no longer remains bar

tween u.s.. This is the doctrine of uni
versal amnesty now so popular With the
American people as to promise to sweep ev-

sip that may not be condoncd.

SThe GlOriOuS'' Fourth.

To-day is the 96th Anniversary Of the
Declaration Of American Independence.
The day has become the most celebrated
Of all days in the Calendar of the American
year, and years ago all over the land it used
to be ushered in, in style Of immense tubila-
ton and rejoicing. But now the whites of
the South who have been ground beneath
the iron heel of oppression, ~ not feel that
tkey have the same cause for rejoicing as
formerly and the celebrations are generally
left to to the colored people.
As FAR as we can judge, this day will mere
again become one Of universal holiday, be-
cause circumstances having altered the ease,
the same inducements arc notipresentss'aud
when this happens, it appears that unanimi
ty is mere restored. The means also of
celebrating an occasion of this kind, are
wanting and this serves to lessen the interest
which otherwise would be felt, e..
But however these things .nay. be, it is
certain that the people of this reat country
rejoice inwardly that they are Eeemcn, that
her immense territory is refuge for the
oppressed Of all nations, and that the sun
shines upon the genius of Liberty un-
dimmed by the shadow ofslavery. These
are causes of congratulation, leaving out
all incidental questions which might arise
as to the cxpcdiency of the acts which have
brought about this consummation.

REPUBLICAN MEErING.-On Saturday
last, small and enthusiastic meeting of the
Republicans of this section was held.
Judge Sutherland presided, and made a
few remarks. lie was followed by Messrs
Adamsom, Gary and Gather, our distin-
guishcd Representatives, Clerk Shiver,
Sheriff Boswell, Treasurer Place, Would-Be-
Clerk Wall, School Commissioner Carter,
John A. Chestnut and several others, twelve
in all. An eyewitness says that there were
about as many speakers as hearers. Mr.. Gal
thcr rose to question ofprivllcge, when it
had been stated that there were some pres
ent who were tainted with Democracy. lie
left the question of privilege, however, and
branched off into general speech, Judge
Sutherland ruled him out of order, but it
was some time before he was gagged. The
speakers were limited to fifteen minutes
each, but Gather requested further time,
twice, and spoke altogether, about forty min-
utes-
A meeting was held in town on Monday
night to make arrangements for Fourth Of
July fandango. 1t seems that Judges Orr
and Melton, Messrs. L. G. Carpenter, Wor-
Ellington and others who were invited to
sneak have all declined or cannot come, so
that the local lights will have an opportuni-
ty of airing their rhetoric. AS there are no
militia companies to drill on this occasion, it
is supposed that there will DO no such riot
as disgraced Camden last year. Where the
necessity or use for having political meetings
and speeches and stirring up the people,
when there is no opposition whatever, is more
than we can see, but if it is any happiness to
thcr,, We do not seriously object.
