GREAT CONSERVATIVE MEETING
It is not often that wo can make it convenient
to attend nolitiral meetings, save in peculiar
cases, and those of urgent necessity. Under
standing, however, that Mr. LogarU.'thc lam dis
tinguished Representative in Congress from
Charleston, was to uddresstlie meeting of Con
servative Republicans, at National Hull. Iasi
evening, we mingled with tho crowd weiidiug
their way thither, and weru richly rewarded fur
the effort. Thu Hall was thronged to its in.
most capacity, and the entire proceedings were
marked by the best spirit. The speech of - Mr.
Legare was one of great ability—of surpassing
eloquence and power. Rarely, if ever, in thu
course of our not Very brief experience, have
we listened to ft more effective political address.
Tho Times contains a rapid sketch of the pro
ceedings, touching and commenting up () „ q,,.
leading points of Mr. Lo-ure’s remarks, and
upon the points only. We trust that the re
porter will promptly fill up the outline, that not
a sentenco of that admirable speech may be
lost-
The Hon. Hugh Swinton Legare. the distim
guished ex member of Congress from Charles*
ton. S. C . was Introduced to the meeting by
the President. His appearance on the platform
was the signal for thu most cordial and animated
expressions of admiration and respect; and three
hearty cheers wore given for this truly noble
minded and accomplished non of tho South.
Mr. Legare spoke for upward of an hour and
a half; and during the whole of that time he
sustained the closest and most enrnest attention
of his auditors. HU address had all tho charm
of purely oxlempuraueous elocution- uud his
argumentation was ilint of a sound rensoner.
conveyed in the powerful and captivating style
ofa most finished rhemri'-ian, and urged with
all tho genuine zeal and enforced dedetertuina.
tinn of purpose, which, ut this momentous cr i,
sis. ought to animate every patriot, who, m rho
language of the ancient Augur, would "strike
boldly” for the great and good cause.
Wu will not attempt this morning to give am
adequate account of this masterly and highly ef,
fective speech. Wo will, at an early day, pret
sent to our readers a correct roport. At presort,
wo can only notice some of the principal points
Mr. Legare it was manifest was greatly of.
fectcd by the cordial uud enthusiastic- reception
with which he was met; and in words warm
fiom his heart, he expressed his thanks for such
a welcome from so large and respectable an ns»
seiublagu in this great commercial cnpitol. Ho
had felt extreme reluctance to appear on this
occasion—a stranger, as he regarded hims.df—
an intruder, os he might be considered by others;
aud .especially before such an assemblage as the
present, accustomed to hear import nit truths
from men more capable of promulgating them,
aud giving them illustration. ‘But,’ suid Mr.
L. 'this greeting shows I am not among strum
gers; tho interesting and important questions
discussed in the roport you have assembled lo
hoar, mako mo feel tint I am not surrounded by
fnreiuuers. We are bound together, 1 trust, by
indissoluble ties—wo belong to the same body
politic—wo acknowledge nnd •buy the same
laws; WE CALL THE SAME OIIICAT COUNTRY MOTH
ER. I meet you with feelings entirely in uni*
sou with-yours. But all these considerations
make uiu onljr the more keenly feel and deplore
my utter inability to make a.suitable return for
your favor, by speaking up ».o the height of iho,
groat argument which must bo presented lo ev»
ery patriotic mind, in such nil assembly,in uuc-ll
a city, at such a crisis, ns the present.
Th® eloquent proceeded to express
how much he wished he could iraiufnso into
thu minds of every one of his auditors, the earn*.
f«t interest in parsing ovuuts which filled his
own; the deep settled, must solemn conviction
that no juncture had over occttred in the whole
course of our history, at which every man was
more imperatively called upon to exert his beat
energies in defuuce of the Constitution, aud die
liberties of his country. Never was there acorn
lust upon which more iiqportant issues depend*
ed. Nothing less than h ;Kevulution of the Go
vernment—a practical revolution-had taken
place. Tins was not common plac.* declama*
lion—no rhetorical exirnvnguiice.- It was the
cool, deliberate decision of Kits judgment, adopt,
ed al\or long and mature observation nnd re>
(lection. lie know no definition ofinonarchi
rnl power, within which the practical adminis*
trillion of our Government now might nut he
brought- Fottus wete nothing.—Executive
power (lie said) overshadowed all the other De.
jartments of Government; nnd thut, in his op in-
on, was the very description of a monarchy,
whether tho purple.* end scoptie, and other in*
siguis and gewgaws were there or m-t- lhis
alarming growth uP niilhoiity nnd patronage
had been brought about by different causes; hut
not the least productive and important was tho
rceligibility of the President.
Mr Legare dwell with gjeal powor on this
topic. Ho truly said that, however momentous
wjs the issue now before the peoplo, in a fitinn*
cial point of view, the-political aspect of it was
by far tho greatest matter tjiai had ever been
tresented to the Anericun people It was, with
iim, a secondary question whether the Subi
Treasury bill should he passed or not? it might
be that tho people would be driven td ftuchu
system. But. even il it were possible a that tho
banks would so misbehave as to render its estnb*
hshtuonl necessary, it would nut follow thut thu
very men whose nial* administration has product
ed the derangement of the whole fiscal system
of the country, should he trusted with tho mail,
agement of that Sub Treasuiy scheme* If inch
sii engine was tieces«uri!y to be put- ill the
hands of the government.* then in his opinion,
that was the very renson why the government
ought to be placed iu tho hands of others. This
was oho of tli'j best of all reasons for a change
of administration* .
Mr. Legare then drew tho attention of his
hra-ers to uouihur view of tho matter, by fat iuo
urgent to be passed over by any one who is alivt
'o the true character oflhe present state of tilings.
We are in th-: midst of a crisis. Tho lempusl
t iat has blown down the collotsel institution
of a iiHigboring state is still howling in our ours
There is instruction, monttiuu, solemn warning
brought home to us hy it. Mr. Legare declared
that he had never trembled iu this storm. He
aiwMys had thought we stood in need uf the ex 1
per luce hy which it was attended
He eulogized in tho warmest terms the course
of tiie banks of New York; and when he ex*
claimed‘Honor to those who Imd control uf
them!” thu chuors were most cordial uud eu-
ihusiastio. He said bo was proud to oiler his
tribute of approbation to the general applause.
They had acted with courage, fidelity and wis

lied tu the thanks of every patriot. Am a con*
servative.he fell himself under peculiar obiiga*
linn to them. They Irtd made him their debtor
without d.scounf ng his papor. They had ini*
posed on hint u greater debt—that' felt by the
grateful mind, which owing, owes not—ut once
I'uleUtud uud discharged!
One uf the mutt powerful and ably reasoned
parts nf Mr. Legsres discourse was that in
whicuhe noticed the course oftlie administration
aguiust the ere nt system, und its wietched nti
tempi’s tu establish a currency of specie idone.
lie showed mint clearly that this country never
had specie sufficient to do its business. The
only period when thu currency was confined
tu specie wasjmt between the revolution und
the establishment of the .present govern*
nietil. The country wus then in the greatest
embarrassment. It was at this tune that some
of the noblest youth of New England rote ini
arms—(he referred to Shay’s rebellion)—claim
iug the sight to get a living, aud demanding of
the government, that U1 they had no specie,
•hey should have a paper currency where*
wiih lucairy on their business.
Mr. Legate spoke in u most interesting nnd
iti'tructivu manner of tho state bank system,
which wus established afior the destruction of
die U lined Bank; uud ofthrtt period of confusion
when, a general suspeusun ofspece payments
took place. He bore took occasion tu charac*
terizo very properly the financial qualifications
of Mr. Woodbury, especially his prodigious
imbecility, und Ins superhuman capacity of
blundering. With such u miracle of stupidity
and awkwardness to direct the administration
oftlie system, it was no wonder that the bunks
were prostrated.
Mr. Legare said he did not permit himself to
ho frightened into any extreme course by (he
eoiifii-ioii ofthat peiiod. On the contrary, he
had maintained that if a fair chance had been
given to die banks -if the Government, instead
of raising c lamor against the banks, and assail
ing them with every term of distrust, misappre
hension, abuse and calumny, bad stood by them,
as was its duty,all would have gone right. Tim
honorable geiitl.jinau here referred iu a most
impressive manner lo the anxieties ho h id fell
at tnaI period, nod declared it was necessary to
have expeiieticed those lieurMhrobbiux* ill or*
d*-r to know how great was (he triumph lie now
enjoyed when thu banks uf New York were
practically verifying die language he uud his
friends then employed.
Mr. Lognro said truly that the administration
had been treated, iu regard to this question,with
the utmost delicacy. He did not expect them
to swallow at onco what they had given out.—
He had only asked them not to make a party
question of it; and appealed to them lo give
tune foi a longer experience.
What was their unswei? They talked of the
corruption of the bank*; they talked of ancient
inaiauc-s? iron money und black broth of Luce-
dromon; they talked of hard moneyloutitrius;
they spoke of Cubu—they had not then talked
of 0hiuu;_ihey had not the hardihood tocoinparo
this young mid beautiful country, "full of life
and splendor, and joy,” to the painted variusln
ed corse, the shrivelled mummy of tho eual;
they did not daro to insult tho American people
with that comparison.
Mr. Legare said thut ha thought it onn
of tho strongest proofs of the unconquerable
gravity of Jonathan that such things should bo
read without laughter. fTihe-iu m.-ii had uny
wit or humor, lie would think thu whole intend*
ed as a joke. Dean Swift, when liecullod upon
people to conform their habitude* nf life to the
mode oftlie sage horses, described ill one of the
voyage* of Gulliver, never urged uny thing more
droll than i* daily published hi Air. Van Buren’s
organ—the Globe In sober earnest, it would
bo a retrogression—making love to darkness—
to go back to those hard money countries. In
America,paper money is thoroughly understood
Il is one of the proofs of our superior advance,
uiuiit. Oflhe two signs, of value, specie and
paper, we prefer the lattor; nnd if the exclusive
specie system could be established here, the Ai
uiericuii people would not tolerate il practically.
They would sell their spocio, as they have dune
before, for a mure convenient medium.
Air. I*ogare then returned to the political as
pect of the question. The rcieligibility oftlie
i'rcsident, he said, whs the banner under which
ihi*4mlilu was to be fought. Thu people ought
not to allow their chief magistrate to play that
most odious and most dangerous of characters—
a demagogue in purple—working for his own
election a second term. Nor ought they to per*
mil, a* tho case is now, the eleetimt of every
caudiate for office to bu made dependent upon
the question, 'Whom are you in favor of for
the i’re*ideucy7 , —upon the question, 'Are you
ready to sink or swim with Mr. Van Duren?’ or
any other candidate.
If such wore thu cose, Congress would bo»
come a mere phaiitojji, without substance; and
not at all what wu* intended by our republican
fathers.
Nor .ought the people to submit to that most
terrible of ull crafts, party craft,thatt which there
is not any more fearful source of danger. Mr.
Legure's description of this species ol crult was
one of the most powerful parts of hlsspoech.
Wo rogrut to be compelled, by want of room
to dolor a notice of this? and many othei inter*
citing topics of fils speech until tomorrow. Il is
remarks on tho spoils system; on the atrocious
declaration of Ex.Gove’rnor Matey, that ‘10610
victor belong the spoils,' eulldd out repautud
bursts of applause.
Air. Legate cohcludod with n most animating
nnd effective appeal to his friends and fellow
citizen* of New York, to he active mid enbn.
getic in the coining contest. vYon can beat ynur
adversaries,' said ho, ‘and none of you who com
citr in tho sentiments 1 have endeavored to ex.
press, will, 1 am sure, lay his head on his pillow,
without roiolving thut he will do kis utmost to
beat them.'
Mr. Logaro sat down amid Uud cheers from
all parts,of the house? and soon afterward the
meeting adjourned.

nf seed, which 1 presume was of the same v des«
cription os that which 'An Old Farmer’ re
ceived. and though it was planted upon a good
spot of laud, and carefully attended lo, it
Inis turned out in n manner, somewhat
similar to thut, which he describes his to have
done.
I however, a short time aftur the purchased
seed was planted, received from a friend, u pre
sent ofu few seeds, which lie likewise called
the ‘Okra Colton Seed,' and this last kind has
turned out remarkably well; the stalk* being
from six to seven feat high, and might have
boon still more lofty, Imd they not been topped.
In appoarunce, thoy somewhat resemble stulks
of Okra,—they are very straight, having iu
comparison with other cotton stalks but littlo
foliage,—with very few branches, aud those few
branches, und those few shooting ofl' from near
the ground; the bolls commencm! forming when
the stalks wero Horn six inches to a foot in hoighl;
and when grown to maturity, each stalk was
woll covered with finely formed bolls. It is also
worthy of remark, that Iho boll* grow in clusters,
each cluster being made up of from two to
five bolls; the cotton produced is ofa beautiful
white color, and of a very fine staple,
A* ills my opinion that Him coiion seed is of
a must prolific character, and well adapted to
our soil, I hope that it will be generally cultivate
ed and that it may yet prove to bo a source of
tiuliotial prosperity.—South Carolinian.
From the Quebec Mercury, Oct. 19.
Arrival of the Governor General.—This day
nt a little alter one, the steuiubimt British Amerr
iea,- having on board his Excellency Sir John
Cnlboriie, was iimioiiiioed from the telegraph,
nnd a guard of honour itmnodintly marched to
the Queen's Wharf, to receive Ins Excellency

II is Excellency wus loudly cheered on land,
ing and repeatedly during his pussago through
the streets lo thu hotel, and again on his wav to
tile Castle . 3
Al 3 o’clock hi* excellency tho Right Hon.

A Hint tomne Drinkers.-U has bean stated,
in sumo nf the papers North nf ns, that the cap
tain ofu French vessel lately died nt Marseilles,
ill Franco, from having drunk wine which Imd
been drugggej by a preparation nflead. Ills
said, also, that some of thefother officers of the
vns-*ol ware in imminent danger of losing their
lines owing to the Mine circumstance.
Coloring Walls.—It may not be general ly
known, particularly in the country, thut blue
vitriol, whon mixed with lime, forms a very
beautiful ns well as exceedingly cheap coloring
matter for wall*. Take good lime and slack ft
at nsiinl, one nnd n half pounds of blue vitriol,
dissolve thechrystal* with boiling wnter, when
dissolved Miix it with tho whitewash, and ndd
on® pound uf gluo well dissolved Tbit should
ho propared in a flue pot if possible to provent
its being burned or urorclied. When well
mixed the first coat must he put nit horizontally,
end the second coat virticnlly. or up nnd down.
Tho wnll will bo of n bright blue color, resem
bling the blue bottles soumtimn* seen in npothe*
caries shops. By following these directions,
women can put on tho coloring ussinotlily nnd
as well genet ally, as men.
Hero arc beautiful sentences Bom the fjen

—nothing mute true.
Comfort of Children.—Cull not tbit Alan
wretched who, whatever else he suffers as to
pain inflicted, pleasure denied, has a child for
who'll ho hopes and on whom ho dnats. Poverty
nny grind him to the dust, obscurity may cast
it* darkest mantle over hint, the song of the
gay may be far from his own dwelling, his face
ntuy be unknown to his neighbors, and lus voice
may bo unheeded by theso among wlmtn ho
dwells—even pain mny rack hi* joints, and sleep
may fine from his pillow? but he has a gem,
with which he wnuld not part for wealth defy*
ing computation, for fum» filling a wn«M's ear,
for tho luxury of 1I10 Highest health, or for the
iwuetest sleep that ever sat upon ft mortal’s
•ye.
The following good advice cannot be too of
ten repeated.
1. Be industrious t Tim® and skill nr® your
capital.
2. Be saving: Whatever it be live withift
your income.
3. Bu Prudent: Buy "not what you ean do
without.
4. Be Prudent: Let your economy be a Iways
of to-day and not of to nmrrow.
-5. Bo Contented nnd Thankful: A cheerful
spirit makes labor light and sleep sweet, and oil
around happy, all of which is much better than
being only rich.
