Wade Hampton. - ^Charleston, October 21. —The Daily News of this morning, publishes a letter from Wade Hampton, in reply to a Wisconsin : lawyer, who requests lum, in view of the wide 1 spread misrepresentations of his course, to define his position as to the issue, results and • consequences-of the war. Gen.

The engineer was not permitted to oil his machinery.- The myste rious passengers evidently feared he might suddenly put it out of repair. The head of the tug was held steadily down the river un til approaching Cat island, twenty-five miles below, near the Arkansas shore. This was between 74 and 8 o’clock, and Capt. Ford was ordered to run his tug alongside the little Rteamer Hesper, which was tied up, wooding. During the trip the leaders informed Ford that they intended overhauling the Hesper, destroying the arms, bnt that strict orders had been issued to the men to harm no one , and respect all other property. In obedience to orders, Capt Ford run the tug alongside. This was no sooner accom plished than, leaving two of their number in the pilot honse, two in the engine room, and one in the cabin as a guard—the latter over . one of the crew who had insulted the leader. The masked party suddenly sprang aboard the Hesper. Little or nothing was said, and the boarders who evidently had an eye to business, placed the crew under surveilance arid commenced the work in hand. The gun boxes were broken open with axes and hatch ets, the gnus token ont, and thrown into the river; many were broken before being' con signed. to the element.' A large quantify of ammunition in the bold, marked “sundries,” was-also thrown overboard. The boxes were shoved overboard after them, and many of them were seen by passengers on the May flower floating with the current.

We invoke a decision on the constitutionality of these acts from the only tribunal competent to pronounce on them— the Supreme’Court of the United States—and we are prepared in good faith to abide by that 1 .ire, of tilt naiioimi uemocrauo r.r- ,! 11 ecutive Committee. I Yoek, October 21.—The Democratic f jjuonal Committee have issued an address, i ; 5 makes no allusion to any change of candi- tj jites. It says: “ We are charged by the ' Radical party—the party of violence and ; isnrpation, which, for the last four years, to -1 Jtolong its own existence, has set at nought Constitution and the fundamental princi-.

Tlie accusation is unfounded and I ,i 5 iiriL It cannot be entertained .for a moment by any intelligent voter who has eren a most superficial knowledge of the :, t J rv of his country. The Democratic fjrty can proudly point to every page of its uourd. It has never violated a single obli vion of the fundamental compact by which tie United States entered into the family of Its watchword in peace, as in war, tial election: - ‘ ‘it has seemed to us a matter of small mo ment whether the name of Grant or that of Seymour shall issue from the electoral urn; and now, more than ever, we are persuaded that to whichever side the balance inclines, whatever party may gain power, will be com- •pelled lb devote itself to restoring public affairs to their normal' condition—to recon struct the South without partisan views—to bestow on all the States equality in the Union Your tongue, and Ihave found it.

The sense in which I spoke of the word * unconstitutional, revolutionary arid: void ’ as being my plank in the platform, referred to them as constituting the plank' which I, as well as any other Southern man, clung for safety.” .The letter concludes as follows: “If the people of . the North wish to build up a strong and lasting Union, let them be magnanimous ‘and generous to the South. Let them con fide more fuUy than they have done to the honor of our people, and they wiU meet a The future —to reduce the public expenses, inflated by prodigality and, corruption—to reduce the taxes—in a word, to heal the wounds of the country and begin a new era.” -.', The editor proceeds to express the opinion that a new party, “The Party of the Future," will arise, created by ther necessities of the country, composed of the patriotic and con servative men of both of the existing parties. He thinks he sees already the beginning of this party among tlie people themselves, who, in tho election just past, have'shown their aversion to men of extreme views; and he in stances the rejection of Mr. Ashley and Val- landinghanr in Ohio.

At 4 o’clock 250 votes had been polled, and 249 of these were open Republican ballots. The object in challenging was doubtless to cause delay, that the fewest number might be polled. The above is from the telegraphic columns of the Gazelle. It explains why Mr. Vallan digham was beaten. The Soldiers’ Home is entirely under Radical influence, and no sol dier is received there or- permitted to remain who will not vote the.

That this state of things have already come to pass is manifest in the case of the negro ; at Portsmouth,' Virginia, who was sentenced to be hung last week for the crime of rape, but whose sentence was commuted, pre liminary probably to a full pardon, ; because the district wherein he resides gives 7,000. negro majority. On the'‘other hand, a poor white man, concerned in the same crime with this negro and also sentenced, was summarily hung according; to sentence, since his color waB a minority in the district. T6 be sure, this is really offer-' ing u premium to negroes for the commission of- the very crime to which they aye most prone, and, in the case of this negro, it is a concession which has not been equalled since Serenio Howe’s fellow-Radieal members in-the Massachusetts Legislature advised that teach er and violator of youth to leave the State quietly between two days.
