pHE DEMOCRACY RE.ORGANIzED.

The meeting of delegates from the va
rious Democratic Clubs on Monday last
pointed Enthusiastically to the temper and
spirit of the people of Anderson. They
are in favor of thorough, efficient and
compact organization, and every refer
ence made by speakers to the agency of
the Democratic party being relied upon
for the redemption of the State was
warmly applauded. 1t is quite evident
that the people of this County are done
with coalition, compromise and conces-
sion, for they have sorely repented of the
mistaken confidence heretofore reposed
by them in the promises of Radical poll
icians. This is movement of the peo-
pie to regain their rights, and hurl from
power unscrupulous, designing and art
full men, whose sins in the past against
virtue, integrity and liberty cannot be
atoned for except in one way. Such men
as have ruled the State for the last eight
years, and all who desire to perpetuate
the Republican party with its disgraceful
record, must be made to stand aside, and
give place to the honest, fearless and just
representatives of an outraged and op-
pressed people, whose motives are higher
than mere party advantage! 1t is a
movement in the interests of civilization,
for the vain expectation that a corrupt,
ignorant and debased constituency will
secure the blessings of good government,
even under the guidance of educated and
astute politicians, cannot longer deceive
the most unwary! The necessity exists
in South Carolina that the virtue, intel
ligence and wealth of her citizens should
arise in their might, and put an end to
the monstrous iniquities heaped upon the
entire population, with firm reliance upon
the Justice and rectitude of their de-
mands.
Anderson County believes that there is
no alternative in this emergency, except
to depend upon cordial, united and
patriotic effort of the Democracy to re-
gain the power which has been so shame
fully abused by the Republicans in all
these weary, protracted and desolate
years. Her prompt and vigorous organ
ization appeals to the State with peculiar
force, and her citizens are waiting to
hear response from the seaboard to The
mountains

MORE GERRYMANDERING.

The Legislature seems determined to
circumvent the law of Congress in regard
to the arrangement of Congressional Dis
tricts, Notwithstanding the probable re-
buke awaiting them for former exhibi-
tions of the same spirit A bill has pass
ed the House of Representatives re-dis-
tricting The State as follows:
First District Georgetown, Williams
burg, Darlington, Marlboro, Marion,
Horry, Chesterfield and Sumter. Popu-
lation, 13S,430.
Second .District-Charleston, Orange
burg and Clarendon. Population 49,
766. -
Third District -Richland, Newberry,
Abbsyille, Laurens, Anderson, Pickens,
Oconee and Lexington. Population
Fourth Distriet-Greenville, Spartan
burg. Union, York, Chester, Fairfield,
Kershaw and Lancaster. Population
Fffh District Colleton, Beaufort,
Barnwell, Edgefeld and Aiken. Popu-
lation 49,, ,s7S.
1t will be seen that this arrangement
only differs from the existing plan by
placing Lexington in the Third District,
which makes up the contiguous terrific
ny" demanded by the act Of Congress.
But the law requires the Legislature to
form these districts as "nearly as possible
of equal population" and the figures at
tached plainly show that not much at
tention has been given to this feature of
the law, which will make the contern-
plated arrangement as vulnerable and
liable to objection as the present one.
An accurate division of the State into
five districts, upon the basis of popula-
ton alone, would give to each district a
population of 141, ,12O. The law requires
conformity to this basis "nearly as posi-
ble." A glance at the figures will satisfy
any sane man, not only that the spirit
and meaning of the law is perverted, but
that the perversion is intentional. At
the risk of casting pearls before swine,
we will suggest as starting point that
the old Fifth Congressional District be
reconstructed, composed of Anderson,
Oconee, Pickens, Grsenville, Spartan
burg and Union, which has total popu-
latton of 141 ,S64-within few hundred
of the actual number were the State
eoually divided, it is the mountain dis
trict. with homogeneous population, and

It wa, represented by men of vigorous in

Resolved, That we, the representatives
of the Democrats of Anderson County,
favor an immediate and thoroughorgani-
zation ofthe Democratic party for the
State of South Carolinas andevey Conn-
ty ndETownship therein. t g aT
(. Resotved, That we favor and earnestly
recommend a vigorous and determined
canvass for National, State and County
nominees of the Democratic party.
Resolved, That we favor making no
further efforts to- compromise with. the
Republican party, as all attempts at coa-
lition only tend to demoralize and disin-
tegrate the Democratic party of our State (;
but that we favor-a frm-adherence to the
great principles of our party, and insist
that none but true and tried Democrats
be selected to bear our standards in the
coming canvass.
Resolued, That we, with confidence and
cordiality, invite and urge all honest men
and patriots, irrespective of color or pre-
vious party affiliations, to join in this Or
ganization for the purpose of wrestling
our State from the hands and. control Of
the party and the men who have so op-
pressed our citizens, robbed our treasury
and insulted and trampled upon our
honor as people and as individuals.
Mr.. L. E. Campbell, from the Broada-
way Club, stated that his delegation were
instructed to urge upon the Convention
the propriety of nominating candidates
by the plan Of primary elections, in lieu
of the convention system. After an ami
mated discussion, it was . ~.l,
ResOlued, That the,various Democratic
Clubs be requested within the next nine
ty days to indicate their preferences to
the County Chairman, whether nomina-
tions should be made by primary elec-
tions or otherwise. .:a' !! 81, .s.-.~
1t was moved and adopted that in all
conventions of the Democratic party each
Club shall be entitled to one delegate fol
twenty-five members or under, and an
additional delegate for each additional
twenty-five members. This motion wa,
afterwards reconsidered, and the ratio
of representation was referred to the Cen.
tral Executive Committee, with power to
act. III 90. r.
Hon. R. w. Simpson was invited to
address the Convention, which he did in
spirited and eloquent manner, giving an
interesting resume of recent. events in the
Legislature, and urging it as a duty upon
the people to persevere.in their efforts te
wrest the State from ignoble hands, and
not to allow themselves deceived by ap'
pearances of reformation within tht
ranks of the Republican party - -
Itwas much regretted that Hon. james
L. Orr had retired, as many Of the dole
gates were anxious to hear his views upol
political topics. '' n@ q.
The business was dispatched will
rapidity and, earnestness, and the dele
gates manifested the deepest interest il
| the proceedings. The sentiment of tn
meeting was strongly in favor Of trusting
alone to the power of the Democracy il
the ensuing campaign, and to ignore al
coalitions and compromises.

Pursuant to o call made through the col
uml1s of the Intclligencer, q small number of
the. citizens of the vicinity Of Centreville
Mills met at that place on Saturday, the 10Th
ultimo, to organize club for the further
ance of the Democratic party. There being
only small number present, temporary
organization was effected with A. B. Bowden
as Chairman and s. Newton Browne as Sec
retary. The meeting to-day was called to
order by A. B. Bowden, who explained the
objects of the meeting in brief manner,
and requested oil who were in sympathy
with the Democrats, and whose names were
not enrolled to come forward and enroll at
once, whereupon all present, with the ex-
ception Of few who wanted ITO see furder,"
promptly enrolled their names as members
Of this club, aggregating about twenty
names. The meeting then went into an
election for officers, with the following re-

of these evidences of his adherence to
Republicanism, he adds, '1 am Repub-
lican of just as many years standing as 1
have seen years of discretion. I have no
tendency to any other party; no associa-
ton, no sympathy with any other party"
Now who that is Carolinian by birth
and inheritance-that has been reared in
the school of honor and principle in poll
tics as taught by our Calhouns, Pinck-
neys, Lowndes, Haynes and McDufies-
can consent to dishonor their teachings
by degrading themselves so much as to
rally around the political standard of the
man who has printed upon his banner
every principle of Republicanism, even
to an undisguised hatred and contempt
for Democrats, and an open advocacy of
miscegenation in our State University,
which means eventually social equality
and a miscogenation Of races in our State.
For our part we cannot see how Demo
Gratis can find anything to command their
admiration or support in man who thus
ignores and insults them.
This letter, however, was in all proba-
bility not written with view of having
any influence in our State affairs, but for
the purpose of promoting the Governors
chances to crafty his ambition in nation
al politics. 1t has for some time past
been understood that he would like the
nomination for Vice President from the
Republicans, and the writing of this let
ter was p, ,sibly induced by desire to
further this ambition. The laudation Of
