tt;vc Informed HIM 0; his election and -s-
co.te,l iiin, 70 the ch.;r Whca the rha;y-
man arrivcG; he was received with applause,
and il q clear voice proceeded to thank his
hearers for the hocor conferred upon him.
He seemed to realize the gravity Of the stu
alton, and u like many others, he wanted
peace and prosperity. He wanted bitter
ness and strife blotted out, and like 4 con-
scientious man, who has the interest Of his
fellow-man at heart he advised against di-
vision He did not mince his words, but
spoke mis- views plainly. Mr. Sprott said
he would be devoid Of every noble impulse
if he did not gratefully appreciate the hon
or conferred on him by his fellow-Demo
Gratis; that before hl.2 ne saw Democrats
from every portion OF the coanty, repre-
sentlDg different vocatons, and from both
factions OF the Democratic party. He re-
garoed every waite man octcre Alm Dem
ocrat. lie SAID II nc knew himself he was
=
q JeieTsoDlaa Democrat, but not OF the
kind who LOOK TOY =! light from the West
to step out from the Democratic party, and
be did not believe that llilman could carry
with him out OF the Democratic party a Ye,y
large portion o; Tie Reform faction, because
that in that faction there are as true and tired
Democrats Is We are. Very feelin2lv he
said next 10 the honor ao;i glory OF his Goi
he desired she interest and weit.re OF his
country lie was strongly and unater,bly
opposed 20 bringing the negro il politics,
for the white man nnts! rpie this country.
he believed both factions woaid oppose
bringing the negro ITO the general e!ec-
tions, and the rumor that had been c;rcu-
lated b: few persons that the Conserya
tives refrained from voting in the primary
because they desired 10 bring the negro in
10 politics was saIsehood as black and as
vile as the inner walls Of q catataluuc. MIR.
Sprost strongly urged against making nom
nations. coptendipr that if youl6 brlno
about an increased bitterness between the
Democrats Of the State, and that it would
be very unwise. 1t the conclusion of Mr..
Sprott's speech there was some applause,
but TO close observer it was diScerrable
that an unpopular chord had been struck,
as disappointment seemed depicted on the
countenances Of the more extreme mem
bers.
Mr.. B. II. uarv:u was chosen secretary.
He read the "Conviiie circular" and the
meeting beinG n possession OF the object
for which i was called, Mr. Ellison Capers,
Jr, moved to go into an election of dele
gates, bHt the response not coming imme-
diately Nr. C0pers stated that he only de-
sired 70 put the ball in motion and ne ex-
pected the convention to DO the rolling.
Mr.. E. G.. DuBose though, things were
going most too fast, ana that before there
was anv election oil delegates the matter
should be discussed 10 ascertain whether
the convention wanted; 20 send delegates.
After several efforts to bring ahont dis
cussion, and no QUE seemed to lave any
orator;ca, ammunition that he wished to
fire off the suspense was broken by an in
vita.;on b.inc extended to the editor Of the
Times to occnuy i seat ia front, which in
