ILtmpmi to the editor of tin* Southern
Horn**, i* published in th *t pap.*r In its
issue of tin- 19« h ;
Columbia. September 9,18 ti.
My Dear Sib —i’be Southern Horaef of
the sili instant, containing your editorial
on the policy to lie pursued by the South
ern States in reference to the hex* National
Demociatic Convention, leached me a day
or two ago, and along with it the letter in
winch yt.ii were kind enough to ask my
opinion on this question. Though I can
not flatter myself that any i pinions I may
entertain c.itt have the weight, your par
tiality would induce you to attach to them,
I most cheerfully comply with the request
contained in your letter, because it is only
by consul tattoo and discussion among
ourselves that we can hop® to act judi
ciously and harmoniously.
It would perhaps be sufficient to say that
I concur fui'y in the views you have ex
pressed, as to the impropriety of the South
taking any part in the approaching Con
vention ; but, in deference to y<>ur wishes,
I give briefly the reasons which I have
induced this conviction in my mind.
Ist. The Soulheru Delegates in n Na
tional Convention could exercise uo influ
ence in shaping the policy, making up the
issues, or selecting candidates for the next
contest; without seriously injuring the
prospect of a Democratic triumph. That
this would inevitably be the case, is prov
en the result of the lust Democratic
Convention, where the very presence ol
riotit he tilers was used to prejudice the *o
iron And defeat the candidates of oar pat -
2d. 1/ the Southern Delegates could not
with propriety exert any influence in the
Convention, while their in* re attendance in
it ungul result in lufinile mischief to tlie
Democratic party, it is surely tiie part of
wisdom to i drain from participating in the
deliberation* of the Convention.
31 i'Ue Northern Democracy anil have
t bear the burthen of tiie fight in the ueit
Pieaaieiitiai Contest, and it is only rigia
that they should choose the field and select
the standard'bearers.
These, in brief, are the reasons, hi con
junction with those you have already So
ably advanced, that have convinced me
that our true policy is to abstain altogeth
er from all participation in the next Na
tional Democratic Convention; Os. course,
in pursuing tins policy, we should take
caie to have our conduct and motives luliy
understood by our Northern friends. VW
should -ay to them; that We are actuated
solely by the desire to promote the success
of U uiocraiic principles and Democratic
candidates J that we wish to leave them
free to act,' as the best interests of our
party demand ; and that we pledge them
in tiie contest all the aid we Can gtve,oulv
asking them to give us a good ptailorm,
as acceptable candidates as they Can
When the platform is announced, and
the candidates selected, the Democracy ot
the South can ratify tile action of th* Na
tional Convention, and they can use every
.Sort to secure the success ot the party ;
for on its success depends the existence ot
lh© Southern States.
If ottr people concur in this policy, ar
rangements should be made in each State
to carry it out fully and effectually. Should
they not concur, we must, in event*
act iu perfect accord, and with entire b*r-
Too much is at stake for us to diffei
among ourselves, and I for *-ue am willing
to yield my own opiuions fur the success of
any p'an which will tend to save the South
from ruin.
lam very respectfully and truly yours.

To General D. H. Hill
The people all over ihe State at least ap
pear to be convinced that it is necessary to
move the Capitol from Atlanta if they would
save the State from bankruptcy amt ruin.
They see that it is not only impossible to
have honest legislation in that place, bat
it is also impossible to convict thieves who
have plundered the State of millions, whilst
they are surrounded by their friends and
accomplices. Experience has been a *e-y
dear school to tin* people of Georgia. But
the tax payers of Georgia had no hand tn
moving the Capitol and therefore are not
tesponsible for the mischief that has reso -
led But if they neglect to move it back,
now they have an opportunity, the respon

Centralization. vj
To centralize all power in one branch it,
the Ooverrixent- has been the policy of tie*
majority in Congiess for several yesffl
pa*t, and every political move has heefe
made to place that body above and bey<jsd«l
the people. It has utterly dißrw;rart|f|i;'
HicTr voice, and assumed for itself to decide
upon questions that have abridged the lib*
erties of the masses, without consulting
the country, and even in defiance of its
expressed will. Cotigress lias glided into
the position of an usurper, while itis pro
fessedly but a co-ordinate branch of the
Government, and it will be just as easy for
the occupant of the White House to sub
vert the powers of the Legislature. The
judiciary and executive department* of the
Government have been triade subvert tent
io the will of the designing managers of the
Radical party, and the usxt step in the
programme is to place all the power is ih»
hands ol one man, and the pr«.«ent oecti
pant of the Presidential chair dot* not seem
to he in any way chary a Pout accepting the
responsibility. The recent acts in New
Orleans, which there can Im no J >nbt wer»*
by his special consent, in placing the cus
tom house at the disposal of his personal
friends, and authorizing the military pow
er to be in attendance to stifle any discoti
teut that was supposed to exist in the Rad
ical party, is sufficient of itself to show
the purpose of General Grant and his ad
visers. He determines by this act, unless
step- be at once taken to overturn his as
sumptions, that tile people of Louisiana
shall not be heard ; that all disobedience
tu his heliosis shad be met with the strong
at th of the military. His o#n political ad
herents are not to be heard in the counsels
bf the party, unless they are willing that
their rights and the rights of the masses
b* trampled upon, and made subordinate to
uia ambition. Nashville American.
Modes of Walking’ Ail ingenious
o»rt< mpori ay gives the following summary
of the diflf ‘rent modes adopted by those
who go to and fro on the earth:
Carless persons are forever stumpping
i heir toes.
Fun loving persons have a kind of j g
movement
Un-table persons walk fast or show by
turn*.
O ie idea persons, are always very
fi-li ones, ‘toe in ‘
Cross persons are very apt to hit their
knees together.
Good tiatured persons genera! *y snap
their fingers and thumbs every few
Steps.'
Modest persons generally step swiftly for
fear of be.tig observed.
Calculating p e a rns generally wa k with
binds in their pockets, and th ir beads
sligtiy inclined-
Wide a vake persons ‘me out,' and have
a lotto swing to their arms, while their
bauds move about miscellaneously.
Lazy persons scrap** lo.>s<*ly with tln*ir
lih;*ls, ar«i fii'-it ou one side walk aud then
on ihe other
Vt*rv strong minded persons brace tln-ir
tors and r. ctly in front of tbun, and have a
k ud of stamp movement.
Tim *d persons often st*‘p off from the
side walk ou meeting another, and. always
go around a stone instead of stepping ovei
it.
Observing persons move slowly; th'e
hands move alternately from side- to
while they occasionally atop aud turn
around.
Careful persons lift their feet high, am!
place them - down slowly, p'*ck up some
little obstruction and place it quieily by
the side of the way-
Greeley and Title*.--- the designations
of Horace Greeb'y are very numerous, va
ried, characteristics, and interesting. At
Amherst College he »s spoken of as Dr.
Greeley. 4 Among ill** colored voters of the
South rn States, he is known as Mass*
Greeley.* For many years the New lork
Herald has Styled him ‘Philosophy Gree
ley.' He is often referred *o in a free and
easy way as 'Old Horace/ Among the ag
ricibural class**- he is designated ‘Farmer
G.eeley.* In Washington, ever since he
was a member of Congress, bo is iem ;m
b red as the 'Hon Horace Greeley/ To
all the newspapers of the Country he is
known as-Editor Greeley* He is often
styled the ‘Sage of Chappaqua/ The Onei

Wisconsin, gave h.m the title of the ‘Aw

designation, to-wit : ‘President Greeley.,

them. The Southern soldiers accepted the

so, they would be fobhd us far from the

before. As politicians are geneiaMy the

are the last to conform tb peice.

Gent. Wade Hampton, in r<*p!y to a let
ter add-essed to him by the editor of the
Southern Home ill reference to the situa
tion, advise* the Southern Democracy to
have nothing to do with the approaching
National Democratic Convention, as they
could exercise no influence in shauing the
policy, or selecting candidates for the
nett content, without seriously injuring the
prospect of a Democratic triumph. The
Northern D* woe racy he says, will have to
bear the burden of th« fight, in the rv-xr
Presidential contest, and it is only right
that they should ChooSe the field and select
their own standard bearers.

A Fair for Florida.—Wa axt>act the following
paragraph fiom the last Quinoy Journal:
We a>e behind every other State in ability to
get up fairs. Florida is so small that 'he Radicals
have found it easy to uteal almost all the people
had, so that we are not able to have fairs or any
thin# else of a public character that requires ax
penditure of money. Not so with Georgia aad
some of the other Southern States. They are
larger, and the Granites have not as yJt besn en
abled to get all they had.
We were aware of this faot, and Savannah has
d>me to the re oue by getting up a first olaas fair,
which onr Florida neighbors can attend without
going far from home. And it is designed as
much for them aa for ourselves, Thay have al
ways been taken into the aoouunt in the daoua
sions, as well as the expectations, of our associa
tion. Wa wish tharn to consider a iioath Georgia
and Florida exhibition, and ex pee tha luxuriant
p oductions of their State—their eotton, their
grain, their fruits and their flower*, to constitute
one of the most interesting departments in it.
Wa want her oranges, her bananas, her pines,
her big pumpkins and squashes, her m miuoth
potatoes, the inventions of her .one and handiwork
of her daughtms, to constitute a leading attraotion
of our exhibition, and if they desire it, a separate
department will be specie ly set aside for their
benefit.
We hope ottr FloiMa friends will teks this mat

State will urge the planters and their wives to
prepare to take an active part in tha oofnii g Fnr*
