WEDNESDAY MORNING. AIOI bT 12.
The independent Farmer.
I>ot sailors sing of the windy deep.
LetHoidiern praise their banner,
lint in my lionrt thin toast I'Ll keep—
The independent Farmer.
When first the rose in rolie of groon
Unfolds its crimson lining,
And rounti hi« cottage porch tn soen,
The honeysuckle twining;
When hanks of bloom their sweetness
yield
To is ns that gather honey,
He drives his team across the field,
Where skies are soft and sunny.
The black bird clacks behind the plow,
The quail pipes loud and clearly,
Yon orchard hides behind Us bough
The home ho loves so dearly ;
The gray and old barn doors unfold
His ample store in measure
More rich than heaps of hoarded gold,
A precious blessed treasure ;
While yonder in the porch there stands
His wife, the lovely charmer,
The sweetest rose on all his lands—
The independent Farmer.
To him the Spring comes dancingly,
To him the SummerJblusheH,
The Autumn smiles with yellow ray, I
His sleep old Winter hushes.
H< cares not how the world may move,
No doubts or fears confound him •
liis little docks are linked in love,
And household angels round him ;
He trusts to Ood and loves his wife,
Nor griefs nor ills may harm her,
He's nature’s nobleman in life
The independent Farmer.

Augusta, August 3rd, 1860.
General: J.n the Chronicle of the 24th
of .July there appeared a telegraphic dis
patch from Atlanta, doing me and my feel
ings very great injustice. I hope, however,
unintentional. There are no people for
whom I entertain greater respect and more
kindly feelings tlian the Gormans, and I
kliow,too, many high-toned,lrishmentlemen
to whom 1 would willingly entrust my own
and the nation’s honor ; hence it would
seem to me impossible lor me to have
uttered the sentiments telegraphed.
In speaking of our colored people on the
occasion alluded to, I referred to their
fidelity and faithfulness in the past. I
had trusted them then and would not dis
trust them now. Being now free and de
pendent alone upon themselves, the induce
ment to be kind, respectful, faithful and
honest was much greater now than then.
[ felt willing to contribute in every possible
manner to their education and elevation,
constituting as they do our entire hope for
laborers; that no right. or privilege should
be denied them by the Govemm/ent. What
individuals choose* to extend to them was
and should be left entirely to their own
judgment, taste and discretion; and that as
a class of laborers for our cotton fields, rice
and sugar, they were preferable to all the
Irish in Ireland, or Germans In Germany ;
in short, to all the people beyond the At
lantic, and T will here add, or the Pacific
ocean. As to saying I preferred them as
voter*, or oven had a preference on the sub
ject, 1 do not think it possible I could have
uttered such a sentiment.
Ido know that such is not my feelings
now, nor was it then, or at any time in my
life. At this time in Georgia I would he
willing to allow all bona fide settlers in the
State, after one year’s rcmdouco, register
ing and taking an oath to support the
Constitution, to vote. I would do this to
encourage labor and capital to immigrate
to our Slate from every clime. I would
also do all that f could to keep contented
amongst as all the labor we have in
the State, that our soil may he tilled,
mechanism improved and our innumerable
resources developed. Having placed my
self right on this subject, I will not
trespass farther ori your columns. Per
mit rne, however, in conclusion to
say further, that let what will come,
1 propose to be true to the American Union,
hoping thereby to promote the interest of
my own native Georgia, aud at all times
to adhere to iny race when they do not
propose to detract from others, for 1 can
not feel at all elevated or henefitted in at
tempting to injure others.
V ery respectfully, &0.,
Wm, Gibson.
| Note by Ed. C. & 8. —In justice to
Judge Gibson wo give him tho benefit of
our columns for the purpose of explana
tion of his Atlanta speech. The version
given of tho speech by our reporter is
corroborated by a number of gentlemen
Iron) this jdace, Columbus ’and Atlanta
who were present on that occasion and
heard the .Tudgo’s harangue. That they
might have been mistaken is possible. At
any rate we are glad to know that the
J ode o does not entertain such decided
preferences for the black voters over bis
own race and color. In the heat of great
political excitement we know that many
things are said by spoakors whi‘*h do not
reflect their real sentiments, aud which, in
cooler moments, they woqld regret and dis
avow.
While we shall, in the present eanvass,
strike the hardest blows which we arc able
to wield—and shall drivo the sharpest
arrows in our quiver at tho men and-party

above the white race, we shall be ready in
the future, as in the past, to do full and
ample justice oven to our bitterest ene
mies. If by any means this paper shall
be betrayed into a misrepresentation of
their views or position, wo shall stand
ready to make suitable reparation. I
MASS HKKTINU AT APfIINB.
Speeches by Col. Lallerstedt, Col. Til
mau, lien. Wright and Others.
APPlujo, Ga., August 5,1865.
Chronicle & Sentinel.— The antiquated
and (plaint old town which sits quietly em
bowered arnoug the rugged old hills whose
sides are seamed all over with tho destruc
tive efforts of the rains of “many winters,”
woke into new life yesterday, and for a
time put on tire airs, aud bustle, and stir,
and “pomp and circumstance" of city life.
Its “great square" was alive with people
oi all ages,' sexes, colors and conditions,
who began to pour in in u steady tide at
an early hour in the morning, until before
eleven there had assembled the largest
throng which has been gathered here since
the beginning of the late war—now more
than seven years ago 1 Tho occasion
which brought this concourse of the
Columbia county people together was the
DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING,
which had been called by the Central
Democratic Club of the county. The
meeting was held in a beautiful
grove near the "Academy,” just on the
outskirts of the village, where a suitable
stand for the speakers had been erected
and comfortable seats provided for the
audience.
The ladies turned out in large numbers
and were deeply interested listeners to
all the speeches. Their presence on such
occasions is a sure guaranty of peace and
good behavior. Wo are gratified at being
able to state that we did not sec a single
man whose conduct betrayed the iutluence
of liquor, and a more orderly, quiet and
respectable assemblage we have never seen
on a like occasion.
At eleven o'clock the meeting was called
to order by the war horse of the Columbia
Democracy Dr. H. R. Casey, who, in a
few pertinent remarks, announced the
order of speaking, and then introduced
the first speaker of the day, Col. 1,.
D. Lallerstedt, of your city, who made a
strong, forcible and tolling speech, which
enchained his audience in wrapt attention
throughout its delivery, and frequently
elicited rapturous applause. I regret my
inability to give even a* fair abstract of
this fine effort.
At the conclusion of Col. Lallerstedt’s
speech .which lasted about one hour und'a
half, loud calls were made for
COL. TfLMAN
ot South Carolina, who, upon being intro
duced by Dr. Casey, led oft in a ehaste,
appropriate and eloquent speech whieh
gained him many friends in this section,
and which doubtless will be productive of
much good. Colonel Tilman put in a
•trong plea for generosity and forbearance !
toward the Northern masses. He be
lieved that the honest masses of the North
entertained no vindictive, or even unfriendly
feelings toward the Southern people—
that they were kept in great ignorauee of
the true condition of the South, and of the
tone and temper of the Southern people—
that bad men—unprincipled demagogues,
had got control of the Government by
pandering to the low passions of the
masses, after having excited those pas
nous by base misrepresentations and foul
slanders of the South and her people. He
thought that soou after the collapse ot the
Confederate Government peace and good 1
will and harmony, could and would have
been restored throughout the land, but for
the wily, unconstitutional and revolu
tionary machinations of the man who
above all others, could have stilled the
troubled waters —YV. H. Seward. But I j
shall not attempt to ; follow Colonel T. in
the course of Ins argument, as I feel my i
incompetency to give even a fair outline of 1
his very able and eloquent effort.
After the conclusion of Colonel Til
man’s speech a recess was taken j
for fifteen minutes, Jat the expiration
of which time the crowd assembled, when
General YVright was called for and pro
ceeded to address the meeting for thirty
or forty minutes, when the clouds, which
had been threatening throughout the day,
open*! their smoky folds and poured out
upon speaker aud audienoe a fierce show
er, which [summarily brought the speak
ing to a close and compelled the crowd to
seek shelter, which fortunately was found
near at hand in the church and the acade
my buildings.
THfc BARBECUE
which had been in process of preparation
during the morning, and which wasjust
getting ready to be served under the very
judicious arrangements of the managing
committee, was drenched and soaked by
the heavy rain, but by the assiduous atten
tion and management of the Committee,
the most of the crowd was served with din
ner in the buildings to which they had re
treated for shelter.
AFTER THE RAIN
or at least after the fiercest and
heaviest of the shower, the peo
ple assembled in the Church, where
General Wright concluded his speech, and
was folfbwed by Mr. Colwell, of this
county, and W. D. Tutt, Esqr., of
Lincoln, both of whom made appropriate
and stirring speeches.
TIIE PROSPECT.
The Democracy of this county are
thoroughly aroused, and are determined to
earry the coming election for Seymour and
Biair, if organization and work and energy
can compel victory. Every man seems to
be impressed with the importance —nay, ne
cessity for his individual exertions in the
good cause, and all are enthusiastic in their
zeal for Seymour and Blair. A large
barbecue is to be given at or near Sawdust,
on the Georgia Railroad, in this county,
on Saturday next,and I hear of preparations
being made for similar meetings in other
portions of the county. I am satisfied,
from what I have seen to-day, that the
people are in earnest and that they will
deserve success if they do not achieve it.
THE BALL.
Soon after nightfall the beauty and
grace and wit of the softer sex of Colum
bia and adjoining counties assembled at
the Masonic Hall, where the young gentle
men of the county bad made arrangements
for a “hop.” Fine music had been pro
cured from your city and the evening pass
ed “merrily as a marriage bell.” The
dance was continued until the “wo sma’
hours a yant the twal” were reached,
wheu the bright eyes and sunny smilesof the
“maidens fair” began to yield.to the inex
orable laws of nature, and it was evident
that “tired nature’s sweet restorer” was
about to assert her power, when the crowd
dispersed—the lights laded and the usual
quiet of tho dull, monotonous village reigned
supreme throughout tho border of ancient
Appling.
THE CROPS.
From what I have been able to soo myself
of the condition of the crops in this county,
and the information acquired by conversa
tion with the leading planters in the differ
ent sections, 1 aiu glad to be able to state
that, while the corn crop has suffered
somewhat for the want of rain in the
“oaky woods,” the pine or grey lands
have had good seasons and the crop is
unusually fine. Plenty of Corn will be
made for the Wants of the ensuing year.
Cotton is very promising, and a large
crop will be made unless the frequent
heavy showers of the past ten days should
continue. There is a disposition noticed
in the plant now to “shed,” produced by
too much rain, and fears are entertained
that much injury may be done by a con
tinuation of the rains. The wheat crop
was all nicely harvested and the yield was
very near an averago one. Much more
land and attention has been devoted to this
important crop than was the custom before
the war, and I learn that a still larger crop
will seeded this fall. YV.
FROM ATLANTA.
SPECIAL OIKBEBI'JNDBNCI OF TIIR CHRONICLE & SENTINEL.
Atlanta, August 4, 1868.
Messrs, tyditors: — Sincoiny last, butlittle
of general interest has transpired iu oitlier
branch of the General Assembly. The
expectation that nominations for the
Supreme bench would come in at an early
day, has been disappointed. It is general
ly conceded, on all Hides, that Drown must
be provided for. In the absence of Judge
Walker, it was decided to leavo him out,
but ho has again returned to tho scene of
action, and now, no doubt, is entertained
but that ho is to be retained. If this be
tho ease, Warner will be loft out. Grave
doubts aro entertained as to tho probability
of any nominations being confirmed,
which will displace Judge Warner. Cer
tain it is, that Governor Drown is bending
every energy to secure his own confirma
tion. It he finds he cannot be confirmed
ho will not be nominated. Two defeats
cannot tie borne by him, who never before
lost a battle. His political existence de
pends upon his nomination and confirma
tion. It he fails in this “lie falls to rise no
more.”
The debate in the House yesterday upon
the resolution to suspend, for a limitod
time, levies and sales, was animated and
lively. It clearly demonstrated that a
majority ot this House is opposed to stop
ping the collection of debts contracted
since January, 1865, while it as clearly
indicates that there is a considerable ma
jority who favor, if not the out-and-out re
pudiation of all debts contracted prior to
that date, that they intend to interpose
every obstacle to their collection. So de
moralized is tho debtor portion of our
people, that what they at first begged as a
favor they now demand as a matter of
right. To listen at the House debates one
w ould think that no one had lost anythiug
by tho war but the debtor—that the credi
tor had lost nothing—had no rights—was a
Shylock, a blood sucker—that he had no
family, or if ho had, that, Chameleon-like,
they could feed on air. Mr. Barnum of
Stewart, in debate yesterday, character
ized the stay law men as unfair, as at
tempting to rob the honest, unoffending
creditor of his just dues, <Sc.
The report of the Committee ou the eli
gibility of Bradley, which has been looked
for with some considerable interest, is still
not made. Expectation has, so often, been
disappointed, that very little interest is
manifested in the matter outside of Brad
ley himself, and Capt Lester, the contest
ant, One Chatters, whose occupancy, of a
seat, nolens volens , occasioned some ex
citement a few days since, has presented
his petition, contesting the seat of Dr. J.
K. Barnum of Stewart county, and Mr.
Eli S. Glover is contesting the seat of
Allen (colored), member of Jasper county.
There seems to be no end to contested
seats. Whenever a contestant brings his
case before either House, it is referred to
the Committee on Privileges and Elections
and, from some cause or other, we hear
nothing more of it.
It seems that the fifteen hundred ap
pointments vested in the Governor by the
so-calleil Constitution of Georgia, is insuf
ficient to fill his greed of power, and his
friends are seeking to increase his pat
ronage by giving him the appointment of
municipal officers for all the chartered
towns of Georgia. To-day, in the House,
a Bill on its second readtug, to postpone
the election of Mayor and Aldermen to
December, was, ou motion to be referred,
discussed for two hours, and finally, the
House, to get rid of further discission,
had to adjourn, leaving it the unfinished
business on the Clerk’s desk.
A bill is lying on the desk ready to be
read, declaring the municipal offices of all
the cities and tow-ns in Georgia vacant,
and declaring the Governor shall till them
by appointment. The aspirant lor the
prospective vacancy in the Mayoralty ol
Savannah is .on the ground,’ earnestly
working for the consummation of a meas
ure which will place him in the seat so
long and so honorably filled by Col. An
derson. The vote on the reference spoken
of above was a strictly party one—the
Democrats, willing that the people who are
to be governed should choose their owu
governors, did aud will oppose every
attempt to transfer from the good people
ol Savannah, Augusta, Macon, Columbus,
dee,, to the Governor ol Georgia the selec
tion of their municipal oflicers; while Bul
lock’s adherents, by their votes, showed
their determination that the faithiul should
be provided for. The very slight majority
(from one to five) by which the various
motions of Mr Bryant, who seemed to have
a large iuterest in the matter, were de
feated, shows conclusively that Demeerats
must “every man to his poet” if he ex
-pevts to see that no detriment comes to the
Republic. From thirty to fifty members
fail daily to answer to roll call. Some are
sick and can't be present, many are absent
on leave, visiting their families, while a
few are lured temporarily from their seats,
by the many temptatio'us of this busy,
bustling town.
The payment of members last Saturday
involved the disbursement of stiy,ooo, and
this failed to pay the per die/n for the first 30
days—it is generally conceded that this
extraordinary session wil 1 last at least one
hundred days—when mileage comes to be
added it will be perceived that the people
w ill pay tolerably dear for the reconstruc
tion whistle.
Local items are not to be had. Abund
ant rains are falling from this point to the
Teuuossee line and the prospects of an
enormous corn crop were never better.
The candidates for Electors and other
distinguished orators of the Democratic
party have opened the canvass in Upper
Georgia. At Newnan, Marietta, Rome and
other points, Col. Waddell, D. P. Hill,
CoiyAAiwaJjt and Col. Carey Mules have ad
dresSetffctfthusktetic crowds of the yeoman
ry w+m il*| most happy etrect. IT Middle
and Fjoudwestern Georgia meet Abe ox
jiCclatleSae of CUerokee, Georgia will roll
up 30,006 majority for Seymour and ill air.
“So mote it beV Constitution.
THE AIKEN DEMOCRATIC lIARBJtCCf.
We; give, according to promise,
straets of the speeches delivered at the
Aiken South Carolina Democratic barbe
cue on Tuesday last :
Rev. Mr. .Cornish offered up a brief but
feeling prayer to the Throne of Grace.
Col. Wm, P. Finley then called the
meeting to order and said in substance ;
In this memorable crisis of our country’s
history, it is cheering to see in every quar
ter of the Union—North, South, East, and
YVest—patriots buckliDg on their armor to
battle for the great cause of Constitutional
liberty—a cause now impending. He en
tertained sentiments of the profoundest
admiration for those noble men of the
□ation who are standing up for that cause
—Pierce, Brooks, Pendleton, Vailandig
ham, Hancock, Gordon, Hill, and a host
of other worthies, whose names will ever
stand as landmarks on the white cliffs of
Fame. God forbid that any one ohould
pluck a laurel from the brow, or say aught
against the man breasting the billows of
fanaticism. He was proud to think that
South Carolina had a place in the picture.
Though prostrated and ruined, she is
still our mother, and still points
proudly to some of her gallant sons.
“Conic now what may—sink or swim, sur
vive or perish,” they intend “with her to
live, for her to die 1” Without the least
disparagement of these as citizens of South
Carolina, there is one, I 'primus inter
pares," of whom we may be permitted to
say, as our Fathers said of the Father of
bis country, “First in War, First in Peace,
and First in the Heart of his Countrymen. ’ ’
‘Tis he who will now address you.
Amid great cheeriog General Hampton
arose and said :
Ladies and Gentlemen : If any oDe
thing could thrill my heart more profound
ly than another, it is the reception which I
have met with here to-day, and not only
here, but throughout the wide borders of
the State. For this reception lam deeply
grateful. Standing here to-day, my
fellow citizens, after the late storm of war,
I feel like the who has escaped
being shipwrecked. Yes, that storm has
passed, and I have eome back to you
again, my countrymen, to see you face to
face, to stand by you, shoulder to shoulder.
You have extended to me the hand of
welcome, and you tell me. as my heart tells
me, that I strove and still strive to do my
duty. That was the only motive which
carried me through four years of vengeful
war and peril. When my State called her
sons to the tented field, I believed that it
was my duty to respond to that call, and I
did so. W hen she told me to sheathe the
sword, I believed that it was my duty to
obey, and I obeyed the command. And
having fought for her in war, I am
still fighting for her, but now in
the cause and interest of peace;
and, in my opinion, fellow-citizens, grave as
was that struggle, terrific as it has been,
fearful as were its consequences to us, I
honestly believe that we are now engaged
in one still more momentous, and fraught
with greater consequences; we are engaged,
as I believe, in the cause of life or death.
And I believe that, if successful, we can
restore the Government, we can restore the
Constitution, we can restore the Union.
But, if we fail—if the Democratic party
fails —in my opinion, we will see the great
Republic of YVashington go down into that
grave which has closed over so many of its
predecessors. I believe, too, that it is the
duty of every man, everywhere in this
country, to devote himself to the success of
this cause, to “fight for his altars and his
fires, God and his native land.” [Cheers.]
You have all, doubtless, heard or read
the proceedings of the recent Democratic
Convention at New York. Well, when
tho Southern States were so freely and
cordially invited to send delegates there, I
at once made up my mind that we ought
to be represented there. When given an
invitation so frankly, I felt that we ought
to accept it. We would see the people of
the North lace to face, and they would see
that we were in earnest in the course which
we pursued. I was glad to see that my
expectations were more than fulfilled. We
were met, .everywhere, by all classesjof the
people, who welcomed us back, and en
couraged Us with the highest hopes. They
assured us that they, would Stand by us,
and more than that, they declared that they
would secure the victory. And this cor
dial welcome and these glad assurances
came not only from the delegates to the
Democratic Convention, but from the
members of another Convention assembled
there at the same time.
These met us all, if possible, even snore
cordially than the others. That was the
Convention of men who had been fighting
us for four years—men who had met us
upon a hundred bloody fields. Now they
met us, not as enemies, but as friends.
They told us, “you were fighting for your
States, as wo were fighting for ours. You
believed that you were right; we be
lieved that we were right. We were
fighting lor the preservation of the Consti
tution and the Union ; and we believed
that these ends were gained when you
laid down your arms. We now wish to
meet you as the friends of Constitutional
free government.” And not
only did they say this to us, but they
acted in friendship and frankness with us ;
they extended the hand of fellowship to
us. I, who, in love for the “Lost Cause,”
yield to none—l, who fought for and be
lieved that Cause right—l told them that
we accepted that right hand of fellowship
in the same spirit in which it had been
offered. I told them that we were speak
ing with no double tongue —that, when
we said war, we meant war ; and that
when we said peace, we meant peace.
This was the way in which we were met
in New York ; and when all the difficul
ties of our advent there were thus so
smoothly met, there was nothing for us to
do _ but to perfect the principles upon
which to enter this contest. As you are
all aware, in the Convention, a Committee,
composed of one delegate from each State,
was appointed to prepare a platform.
Os this Committee, I had the
honor to be one. When we entered
upon the discussion of these prin
ciples, we naturally found a great many
points of difference ; and, while all aimed
at a common end, we found that there
were different roads to reach it. But we
discussed it in the spirit of brethren—of
men fighting in a common cause—of men
who felt the whjile weight of the respon
sibility resting upon them. Not a single
harsh word was uttered. Men from the
North, the South, the East and the West,
without a single dissenting voice, framed
and accepted this noble platform on which
we are standing to-day. That platform
was submitted to the Convention, and
there ratified and adopted without a sin
gle dissenting voice. And we now call
upon the whole South, and upon the whole
North, to endorse this platform, with the
same unanimity as it was ratified and
adopted in New York.
What, gentlemen, is that platform?
What are the principles which it pro
claims? It declares, among other things,
the Reconstruction Acts of Congress revo
lutionary, unconstitutional, and void—rev-
j olutionary, because they would subvert
| our form of Government—unconstitutional
| because, in a Union of free States, ten
; States are kept in it under the bayonet;
and void because revolutionary and un
-1 constitutional. The party which framed
| these Acts have also stripped the Chief
| Magistrate of the Nation of his authority;
j they have taken from the Supreme Court
i the right of jurisdiction, and threatened
! to strip that Court of all its authority.
When it had declared these acts unconstitu
tional, Congress proclaimed that that decree
should not De promulgated until after the
election. We proposed to test the consti
tutionality of these acts by appealing to
the highest tribunal in the land, and were
prepared, when that appeal was made and
the decision was given, to submit to it
But Congress interfered and declared that
this was revolutionary. They are revo
lutionary. They are revolutionizing the
Government; they are revolutionizing Con
gress; they are revolutionizing ten States
of thS Union, they are revolutionizing the
Supreme Court; and now they intend, in
my opinion, to maintain by force what
they have acquired by fraud. I believe
that the lladieal party, in a word, intend
to do all that we have pronounced revolu
tionary. How have they met the issues of
the day in the past ? That party proposes,
if the ballot of the people should be an
nounced as against them, to hold on to
power by the bayonet. And yet they
meet us by charging us with being revo
lutionary. They try to hide their own
guilt by charging it upon us !
I saw, yesterday, in a Radical paper that
I had been denounced as a rebel and revo
lutionary in my course: but I defy them to
put one finger on one word or one place
where I said anything that could be con
strued as rebellious or revolutionary. I
said in Charleston and I say it here, that I
fully sustained that plank in the platform
which declares the Reconstruction Acts un
constitutional and void. Is this revolution
ary or rebellious ? No. But this is not
the first time in hietory where a party
which intends to subvert a Government
and destroy Liberty bas charged its oppo
nent with the same crime Which it medi
tates itself.
We are not seeking revolution. We are
only asking for our rights in the Union.
We only ask for equal rights—the same
rights for our States that Massachusetts
enjoys; we only ask to be participants in
the benefits of the Government. We only
ask that our State shall regulate its own
affairs. Wo ask no more. We ask only
the power to rear our altars to God and to
bring, properly, all the energies of all bur
people to raise the country once again upon
the foundations that were occupied by the
Republic of our fathers.
The Radical party charge ua with being
revolutionary ; and, in the words of their
standard bearer, they say "Let us have
Peace J ’ Their banner stands bearing
these words uyon if. But what kind of
peace do they mean ? There are different
kinds of peace. First—and I speak of it with
the most profound reverence—there is
thePe ice which cometh from the Godhead,,
and “which .-orpa3seth all understand
mg.” Second, there is the white-robed
JPeaee coming up from bloody war, telling
‘ brethren to dwell together in peace and
harmony, and scatters plenty o’er a smiling
land; and then there is another kind of
Peace—that peace which the kite gives to
the dove—the wolf to the lamb—the peace
of death. And, fellow-citizens, let the
Radical rule be but firmly fixed, and Grant
grasp the reins of Government, and you will
see that kind of peace prevailing all over our
land—not only here, but all over the country,
from Maine to California, from the Atlan
tic to the Gulf—everywhere this_ peace of
death. That Government which our
fathers founded, and the principles of
which we fought for so lately, will go down
in blood and anarchy, while upon its
crumbling ruins will arise an empire,
whose power will be in the gnsp of some
military despot.
My friends, I want to disabuse the
minds of our friends at the North, and
rem ve the prejudices created by those
who take so much pains in misrepresent
ing us. Aud this I endeayored to do as
far as possible while there. On one occa
sion while dining with several distinguish
ed officers, Confederate and Federal, it
was proposed to have some speaking on
this point. Several of our Southern peo
ple were, therefore, called out and made
what you might call after dinner speeches.
They did me the honor to call me out. I
responded. I spoke to them. I told
them that when the late war was threaten
ing, several of my people censured me
for my lukewarmness in the cause—how
they thought I was late in going into it—
how they censured me for being too slow,
and how I told them that I believed that
there was going to be war, and that, when
it came, I intended to do my share of the
fighting. One of the officers present did
me the honor to say, “Well, by G—d, sir,
I think you did your part!” I told them
that I had gone into the war because I be
lieved that I was right; and that dow, I
spoke in all sincerity when I said that, in
representing my people, they desired peace.
That I was speaking to them in heartfelt
sincerity and friendship. The very men
who had met us in the field—the very men
whom I had fought—these very men
said that they believed me—that they be
lieved we were true, and would rather
believe the men who had fought for their
country and for a cause which they be
lieved to be just, and now tell theta that
that cause was buried ifnd they were
ready to meet them on the same platform,
than men who had deserted their cause
in its houa of peril, and when the war
was over turned their backs upon their
section.
I wish now to say a few words to my
friends in Barnwell. I had in my com
mand many men from Barnwell. They
went into the war with me, and when the
war was over they laid down their arms
when I laid down mine. I wanted to tell
these men that their old commander has
not forgotten them. I wanted to tell
them that we are now engaged in a strug
gle as momentous as that one; and I
wanted to adjure them to be as good sol
diers in peace as they had been in war—to
close up the ranks—to stand shoulder to
shoulder in this great contest, and to press
on to victory ! 1 know that they will lis
ten to me. They always did. They know
that I always aid what I could for them.
They know that I always recognized merit
in the officer with the braided coat, as in the
private with tho tattered jacket. They
know that I always had an interest in them;
and they will listen to me as I advise
them now. There are some things I want to
tell you about—in short, I want to have a
little family talk with you, and to make
every acknowledgment to you for the recep
tion which you have given me. I will,
however, merely call your attention to a
few facts here. YVe have been told that
our State has been reconstructed; but
what kind of a reconstruction is it? Con
sider, fora moment, the kind of reconstruc
tion which has been given to South Caro
lina for three years. Ifyou were in Columbia
and would go to a certain Hall there, you
would there see what is called the Legisla
ture of South Carolina. When I had the
honor to serve in that body, they used to
give us two or three dollars a day, while
we did our work as expeditously as possi
ble ; but now the distinguished gentlemen
who occupy our places there find their
time so valuable that they cannot do the
work for less than six dollars per day, with
double the mileage that we got, and quad
ruple the time to get through their work!
And in that Hall, where all the honor of
the State- and all the higher virtues were
once represented, what do you find now?
Only ignorance guided by malignity. I did
not know that human ingenuity could con
ceive a humiliation so galling as that to
which we find our State reduced. The
seats onee honored by such gallant men as
McDuffie, Hayne, and Calhoun, are now
filled by such men as Sawyer, and a rene
gade named Tom Robinson. I really didn’t
think our State could be spnk so low. I
didn’t think that even tho colored people
of South Carolina would send such men
to Congress, flthe of whom, at least,
certainly did not register himself a friend
of theirs before they got their freedom.
Ldok at the Bench, too. The seat occu
pied by such a noble man as Duncan, now
occupied by a man who turned his back
upon his State in her hour of peril, and
Chief Justice Moses now sits in the place
which Chief Justice Duncan adorned by
his intelligence, his legal acumen, and
his many virtues. YVho now occupies the
place once filled by your honored and
distinguished fellow-citizen, Judge Al
rich ?—a man who has done all he could
for the honor and glory of South Carolina
—I ask who fills his place ? Reconstruc
tion has removed him, and one Zephaniah
Piatt now fills his honored place.
I can well find some excuse for those
Radicals who come here for gain—who
blind the negroes by their falsehoods, that
they may obtain their help to fill tho
places of the State. In this they are only
true to their interests ; their object is to
pillage and plunder. I can well under
stand all that; but when I see any son of
South Carolina, any one who has drawn
his nourishment from our beloved mother,
any one who has received, at the hands of
the State, all that she could give—when
I see such men turning their backs upon
that State I cannot find expressions to do
them justice.
“Oh for a tongue to damn the slave,
When treason, like a deadly blight,
Comes o’er the counsels of the brave,
And blasts them in their hourof might—
Ills Country’s curse, his children’s shame,
Outcast of Virtue, Peace, and Fame,
May he, at last, with lips of flame,
On a parched desert, thirt ting, die—
And when from earth his spirit flies,
Just Prophet ! let the damned one dwell
Full in the sight of Paradise,
Beholding Heaven, yet feeling Hell !”
Fellow-citizens, 1 have already occupied
more of your time than I intended. But
I want to say a few words to the colored
people before I close. I want to tell them
that, if the interests of the white man are
at stake,' their interests are even more
eo ; because, if the worst comes to the
worst the white man can, gathering up his
household gods, take his sufferings and
his shame to another clime. But the
colored man cannot go so easily. He
must stay here until he makes enough to
take him and his family away. And even
then he can go nowhere where he will be
treated with the same kindness or allowed
the same privileges as he is in the South.
If he goes to the North, or to the North
west, he will be received, Lot as a friend,
but as an enemy. As for myself I have
expressed my willingness to give to
the colored man more rights here
than any Northern State has ever
shown itself willing to give him. I
believe that the true interests of both
races in the South are identical. We’
have to live together, and it is best, there
fore, that we should try aud live together
in peace and harmony. I have said that
our interests were identical, and I mean it;
for just as certain as the whiteman pros
pers so will the colored man pros
per ; and if the white man be broken
down so will the colored man be broken
down. If the State be ruined, they will
be ruined with it. Now, the Radicals have
come down here, making all sorts of
promises to you colored people, and when
raey get what they want they will ship all
ofyou,“whistleyou all down the wind,” and
leave you to shift for yourselves. Well,
suppose you should be so unfortunate as to
draw the line of separation #bet ween the
two races, you would have no friends ; be
cause the people of the South could, in a
few years, get white labor cheaper than
colored, and these white people would
occupy all the lands which you now culti
vate ; and, being white men, the white
population would swell and spread over
the whole country, driving the colored peo
ple out just as surely a3 the Indians were
driven out. It is a law of God, and can
not be otherwise. This will be the case
just as sure as there is a God in Heaven !
We recognize the freedom of the colored
man; we acknowledge and respect his
rights ; we want to see him do well, to
get good crops and good wages, because
we will be benefitted by his prosperity.
So you will understand that if for no other
reason, even iftherewere nooldfriendships,
no old associations, existing, certainly
our interests would prompt us to
make him our friend. I want, therefore,
to see you colored people jam with us and
help us to drive away from the country the
Radicals and scalawags who are ruining us
here. I want you to de as your people
did in Mississippi. In that State, with
a larger majority than you have here—
where they have a majority of 30,000 votes
—they turned in, and with the Southern
men, voted against the Radical Constitution
by a majority of 10,000 votes. I tell you
that you will all have to do that here, be
cause you oannot he lp it. You will find
out after awhile, if you have not found it
out yet, that these men are deceiving you.
They premise you a mule and forty acres
of laud, feut they do not give them to you,
and they pever will give you any land, un
less it be a piece about six by three feet,
when you axe dead, i have no doubt that
they aro all willing enough to do that.
But you wjll never get any more, unless,
Mte everybody else, you get it by buying it.
But I nave said more than I intended
I came upern a very short notice, had to
speak in other places, and travelled ail last
night to meet this appointment ; so that
You may well imagine that lam not in a
condition to say more. But I could not
refuse to meet my friends here, as elsewhere,
and I thank you heartily for your kindness
and courtesy to me.
In conclusion, I ask our fair country
women to help us in this contest, as they
did in that which has passed. Then they
gave up all that they possessed, dedicated
all their energies, gave all the aid aud
encouragement in their power to that
cause in which their husbands and fathers
were engaged. I do not know a more
appropriate or touching tribute that could
be paid them than in the following lines of
a poem which so feelingly portrays the'
sacrifices and virtues of the women of the
South :
“The Maid who binds her warrior's sash,
And, smiling, all her pain dissembles,
The while, beneath the drooping iash,
One pearly tear drop hangs and trem
bles;
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And Fame Khali never know her story,
Her heart has shed a drop as dear
• As Over dewed the field of glory,
“The Mother who conceals her grief,
As to her heart her’son she presses,
Then breathes a few brave words so brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her sacred God
To know the pain that weighs upon
her,
Sheds sacred blood as e’er the sod
Received pa Freedom’s field of honor.
“The Wife who girds her husband’s sword
Mid little ones who weep and wonder,
Then bravely speaks the parting word,
What though her heart be rent asunder?
Doom'd, night.y, fn her dreams to hear
The bolts of war around-him, rattle,
Has shed as sacred blood as e’er
Was poured upon the field of battle.”
Then, ladies, my fair countrymen of
Carolina; you who have done so much in
the past for your soldiers, and for. which I
noW thank you as one of thbse soldiers, I
beg of you- to lend us your influence now.
Tell your kinsmen that we can gain the
victory. Tell them that they are fighting
for you, and that they can save the coun
try. Yea, in the name of all that you
value, in the name of virtue, in the name
: of all that is good, I adjure you to use your
influence for our cause in this canvass.
And so, my friends, while thanking you for
all that you have done in the past, I
again thank you sos the kindness and the
courtesy of this reception which you have
extended to me here to-day.
The General here retired amid loud ap
plause. *
Hon. H. YV. Hilliard, in response to re
peated calls, came forward and said, that it
was with unaffected reluctance he appeared
as a speaker. He came to hear, not to
speak. He came to catch inspiration lrom
that gallant soldier who had just spoken,
and whose heart beat so true to his coun
try. He expected, too, to hear from Judge
Aldrich, whose eloquence had not only
electrified Carolina, but had even waked
up Georgia. Still, he would not be silent
when called upon to speak—he could not
be silent when that banner was flaunting
in the breeze which bore the names of
those in whom were centred the hopes of
the country —Seymour and Blair. He
would speak a lew words to day under
that banner, which, like the fiery cross,
was summoning to its folds true men all
over the country. This was no party con
test. It was a struggle for Constitutional
Liberty, and, in his opinion, the last one
ever to be made on this continent if we
should go down in the struggle. He al
luded, in eloquent terms, to the surrender
of General Lee at Appomattox Court
House, and expressed the belief
that if a generous am] forbearing
course had been pursued then, we would
have all come together and the country
would now be blessed with peace and
prosperity. But policy had to step in ;
and the result was the adoption of a series
of measures which have been very prop
erly denounced as unconstitutional, revolu
tionary, and void.
The Banner of the South has been laid
aside, amid the regrets of true men and
the tears of fair women, but its cause has
become a part of history, never to be for
gotten while the heart cherishes recol
lections of that contest. If we gave up
that cause, in that' contest, we did not
give up liberty. • He believed that if our
people had thought that, in that surrender,
they were to be regarded as an enslaved
people they would never have given up the
contest. If that surrender of arms was to
be construed into a surrender of liberty,
we should all exclaim, as we thought of our
dead heroes :
“Oh could we from death but recover
Those hearts as they bounded before,
In the face of high Heaven to fight Over
That combat for Freedom once more ;
Could the chains for an instant be riven
That Tyranny flung round us then,
No, ’tis not in man, nor in Heaveh,
To let Tyranny bind us again.”
The true men of the North will wheel
into line with South Carolina, and aid her
in securing the benefits of this great Gov
ernment. He felt as if there was a battleto
be won. The country is too young, and
too vigorous to surrender its liberties yet.
If we fail then he firmly believed that the
great, battle for constitutional liberty will
have been fought and lost. W hen the nc ws of
the battle of Marengo reached England, Fit t,
who was then Minister, exclaimed: “The
' map of Europe may as well bo closed up
for twenty years to come !” If we are
beaten in this contest then we may as well
close up the Constitution for all our time
at least. All that the country can do then
will be to gather the robesof liberty around,
her, and die as gracefully as she can.
But we must win the victory. YYc must
drive out the Goths and Vandals from
Washington, and as triumph crowns our
peaceful contest, we shall make the welkin
ring with the glad shouts of victory.
If we do our duty, we shall elect Sey
mour and Blair next Fall. We shall, with
a moral appeal, revolutionize the Govern
ment, and then, having control of the
Revenue, of the Executive, of the Su
preme Court, we shall have peace and
prosperity. He alluded to the importance
of sustaining the Constitution, urged the
young men of the country not to abandon
the land, but to stand together with us,
to lift the Constitution from the dust into
which it has been cast, and to assist in
restoring the country to its wonted great
ness.
(Someone in the crowd here asked
“YVhat about Brown?”)
Mr. Hilliard replied: “Oh ! he is on the
other side of the river, and this is a day of
rejoicing—let us not mention him. The
cause is too great, our object too grand, to
stop to look upon such a man as that!”
He alluded to reconstruction and said that
the great ball of Democracy set in motion
in New York would strike it and crumble
it to the dust. He urged the people to be
of good heart; the reports from all along
the lines are cheering, and all the indica
tions point to a glorious victory and the
triumphof constitutional liberty now and
forever.
Amidst great cheering, Mr. Hilliard took
his seat and Judge Aldrich arose and spoke
n substance as follows :
He felt at home'among his own people—
felt proud and glad to be among his fellow
citizens—proud and glad to “bring them
glad tidings of great joy.” The friends of
Constitutional liberty are everywhere work
ing together, and soon will be heard the
glad shouts of victory. When he went'to
the New York Convention the soldiers
and sailors assembled there gave the
•Southern Delegates a hearty welcome ;
they were pleased to meet us, and prom
ised to stand by us. And’he believed
their professions true. He had faith and
hope in the future. The people were de-
termined to devote all their energies to
tho restoration of the Constitution over
this down-troddemland. Me felt that all
were in earnest, and thanked God we could
all once more stand together and fight the
battles of the Constitution. The violation
of that instrument caused secession. Now
the battle is once more to be waged, and
all will come together to engage in one
erandfstruggle for Constitutional Liberty.
He felt hope, and took' heart again at the
prospect before us, fop he felt that the day
of our deliverance js at hand. •
la 1865 he had'addressed the people of
Aiken, and told them to be of good cheer,
that all was not lost; but few of them,
however, had confidence in his assertion
then that our cause still lived. It has
lived, and will succeed. But if the coun
sels of seme of the leading men of the
South had been followed then, what would
have been our fate to-day 1 South Caro
lina and Georgia would have been com
pletely Africanized. The people, how
ever, took heart and aequired
faith ; and now they are about to be re
warded.
We have erected oup banners, and in
tend to march on until we have achieved a
great and glorious victor,', and redeemed
our great country.
It was cheering to have the approving
words of these soldiers and sailors, when
they met our great heroes who had fought
them in the war. They have no more
respect for Stevens and Sumner and
all that crew, than we have. Th< men
hounded them on, pushed them u he
front, and once there, they fought gallantly
for four long years, while Beast Butler,
whenever a battle was being fought, was
always found three miles in the rear, en
gaged in picking up spoons. Now, after
all their fighting and sufferings, when
they came home they found no peace
Their universal cry is : "We fought to
sustain the Union, not to keep ten States
out of it.” These men are in the majority;
and if the Radicals were to muzzle every
Southern State, there are still enough in
the North to carry the election for the De
mocracy. All the Northern people are
not our enemies, The great Democratic
party w<jouiiug to the rescue. They will
carry New York by eighty thousand ma
jority ; Tenpsytraiua-by* an increased ma
jority * fTßib, Indiana, and Itiinois are all
counted on as certain ; and these, with the
suiallerStatcr; which we will get, will raise
the Constitution from-the dust, and make
it once more the honored instrument of our
liberties.
As he saw in the National Convention
each. Southern buto called and oheered, he
felt proud and glad but when he heard
Bouth Carolina called and cheered, he
felt prouder than ho ever felt be
fore in all his life. And he de
termined to work with that party. They
arc in earnest aud it is treason in any
man in the South to doubt their sin
cerity. What hope is there in any other
party? Wliat other party can help us?
we cannot help ourselves. Therefore, we
must get help from that party, or we die.
Y\ hat! throw suspicion on their honesty
and sincerity? Why, who are the rebels
and traitors this day ? Not we, the crush
ed Southern people; but the Red Repub
lican Radical party which has trampled
the Constitution under foot, and is de
termined, if it has the strength and-power,
to keep this Government in their hands’
But fellow*-citizens, we shall beat them so
badly in November that they will tail'to'
keep by force, what they have gained by
traud. 1 es, Grant will be beaten by Sey
mour just as Scott was beaten by Fierce.
For the question how before us is, -“Are we
to be governed by the bayonet or by law ?”
Cau there jo any doubt about the verdict
ot the people when this question is put
belore them . ihe Radicals have put up
Grant for the 1 residency; but he will not
get the vote ui the army. He will get the'
omeers or the I reedmen s Bureau and some
oi the volunteer oijioers who desire promo
tion, out the great heart of the army will
show its love for the Constitution by voting
against him. They are not going to.let
the ward earnings of the war be wrung
from them by the Radical party. And
General Grant will be beaten by his own
soldiers! At a late election in Washington
City the officers voted for the Radicals,
but the soldiers went for the Democrats.
(A voice in the crowd: “\es, and we will
do it here!”)
-i he speaker here excused himself from
making further remarks, in order that
others might be heard. In conclusion, he
said that the men who, at the close of the
war, had laid down their arms in earnest,
would fight only through the ballot-box
now, and would surely win. He was glad
to see so many 'of his fair countrywomen
here. Their presence helps us, cheers us,
inspires tts, and makes us feel that we are
bound to win, and he sincerely hopes that
next November they would all help us to
shout the loud hosannahs of victory.
The Judge took his seat amid great
cheering. We regret that time and space
will not permit us to give even a brief
synopsis of the speeches of the other
eloquent gentlemen who addressed the
people on this occasion; but we must fbre
go this pleasure; and indeed we have given
in those of Judge Hilliard and Judge
Aldrich mere outlines of their addresses,
merely giving the reader some faint idea
of the line of argument which they fol
lowed, and of the encouragement and hope
with which they cheered their hearers.
There was music between each speech.
• We should, also, have been pleased to
give reports of the speeches of the colored
men who spoke, but we are unable to do so
at present. Suffice it to say, that they
dealt sledge-hammer blows at Radicalism,
and helped their white brethren to scotch
the Radical snake, as they are going to
help us kill it in November next.
