DEAR SIR--I beg leave to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of this morn
ing.
In reply allow me osay that the clearly
manifested object of the Convention in
placing the resolution referred to is to
Secure the unity Of the Democratic party
in the city, avoiding all technical ques-
tions. I cannot suppose that your COM

and must therefore request that you pre-
sent them for their action.
AS directed, have submitted copies OF
these resolutions to the Hon. w. w. Bale
and Capt. VIM. a. Courteney, and will
probably receive their replies by this
evening. If you determine to confer
with us these replies may be then carried

At meeting of the Executive Com
mittee, held this evening, after the read
ing of the communication from Mr.. Din
gle and statement from the chairman OF
the correspondence, on motion Of Col. 4.
D. White, 1t was resolved,
1st That the action of the chairman OF
the Executive Committee of the City
Democratic party in replying personally
to the communication OF Mr.. G. w. Din
gle, chairman of committee represent
ing, as they say, portion of the Democ-
racy of Charleston be, and the same is,
hereby confirmed.
I'd. That this Executive Committee of
the City Democratic party regard the
overtures personally made by its chair
man as covering the whole ground In
controversy, and deeply regretting, as
they do, the suggestions therein made by
him for the unity of the Democracy, have
not been followed up by Mr.. Dinglss
committee. and no other alternative
presenting itself, they decline TO hold
further informal correspondence.
On motioa of Mr.. w. P. Russell, twas
further.
Resolued, That this committee deplores
that Mr.. Dingle's committee has not
complied with tho suggestions OF the
chairman of this committee, by conferr-
ing with the advisory board Of the Sale
party, so that this committee of the whole
Democracy might have before it the
Joint action of all portions Of the city
Democracy and this committee feels
that they would not be warranted or JUS
tilted in entertaining propositions from
one faction of the Democracy while the
other was by them ignored.
Resolped, That q copy of these resolu-
tons touching this correspondence be
sont to Mr.. Dingle's committee, now met
and sitting at Hibernian Hall.
