Kf. to support political }iartlc&, wh^eas. political latrliea have no other reason of being ex cept tu lessen the burdens of the government, Ihe first of these objects lias been triumphantly accom plished. All intelligent Northern men now admit that all parts of the country were as deeply inter ested as the South in seeing it won. A corrupt and anti-Democratic government in the South was a per manent peril to the ascendency of true American principles in the Federal Government and therefore to the peace ami honor of the whole people The second political object for whirl: THE WORLD contends still remains be fully achieved. The ac tual Administration began its career with-exccllent promises tn this direction, of "which it is smfirient to say that thev have been a* vet only in part re deemed. THE WORLD for its part will resolutely support any honest effort to redeem these promises fully, by whomsoever made, and will as resolutely denounce every obstacle thrown in the way of re deeming them, from whatever quarter. It seems to the undersigned eminently proper that he should ask the cooperation of the host men of the South with THE WORLD in its efforts to carry out I the policy here outlined. He believes THE WOULD | to be a paper which Southern citlxens and Demo- crats can recommend to Southern readers as an in-J flucnce worthy and ini|iottant to he brought to hear j with constantly Increasing power upon the conduct 1 of our national affairs, in the interest of truth, of jus tice and harmonv among our people of all sections.

In view of the possibility of the elec tion of the President being throwm into the next House of Representatives, the ! recent Northern elections possess cousid- ‘ eruble signiiicanco. In <Uiio and Indi ana the Republican imijiffities in the present delegation are reversed, the Pem ' ocrats having a majority of the new- del egations from each State, counting La .'Satyr, National, from Indiana, who has indicated his purpose to cooperate with the opponents of the Republican party. As is known, should the election of President he thrown into the House, each State will ca<t one vote, a majori ty of the delegation deciding how this vote should he east. Should the States having yet to elect show oo change in the political status of their delegations, the next IRuse will stand as follows; Democratic—Alabama, Arkansas, Con necticut, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Marylmd, Mis- sissijpi, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texts, Virginia, West Vir ginia—20. Republican—Colorado, Hit- n. is, irvvr.-Tviini-as, AFfftwL*, Mm^ochu- sotts, Miohigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, New Ilaiupdiiro, Pennsyl vania. Rhode Island, Vermont, Wifi- consort—10. Divided—California. Flor ida—2. Of the two divided States, Florida will in all probability go for the Democrats, which would give them twenty-one votes in the House o it of thirty.eight. Califorui t is doubtful. The Republicans have a hare-majority in the present delegation from New York, and the Democrats have ouc in that from New Jersey, and either may be | one-third of reversed next month. In order to ac. quire a majority by States the Republi cans would have to win New Jersey, California and Florida, and take Con necticut to the di ided. column—a re sult which is hardly probable. i hurlotte, Columbia & August <t R P. m m m.

October 28.—A Madrid special says that the excitement oc casioned by the recent attempt on Al fonso’s lifo has not by any means died out. i he criminal fired from the side walk In front of the house 95 Calle Mayor, cot far from the arched en trance to the paz t mayor. The assas sin aimed too low, however, and the ball passed through the hand of a sol dier standing guard on the opposite side of the street. The king saw the Hash, and with an involuntary move ment of the hand checked his horse momentarily, and then rode tranquilly onward. Several women who wore standing near the man who fired point ed him out with loud cihs. He was BIO.Y. HOttEKT AIJDKICTI. VTIa Speech In HnmpttjQI County. fC«ilmnbl« RrpiiO'r.j The next speaker was Mr. Robert Aldrich, of Barnwell. Aft^r discuss ing at great length the different kinds of Democrats that are abroad in the land, he referred to the danger of fighting within our own household, and said^:. I know how hard it is fok men who feel that they have been wronged to quietly submit when there seems to be any chance to resent the wrong, but what redress is itto a man who has been wronged by others to inflict upon him self a greater Injury than the one he is sufTerlog? It is not brave; It Is not manly; It is like thechtMwho, when made to divide his bread with bis brother, tramples the portion he retains In the dirt. Has your nomi nating convention met? „ If it has, then two things certain, both of them, as' death and 'axes—somebody is pleased at its nominations and somebody else is dls- satisfied. Nuw, two things always happen when a nominating convention meets, and those who are pleas--ad are generally the few, and tnoae who are not are the many. What Is the reme dy for those who are disappointed f Why, obviously contain j'oursouliu patience and try to do better next time—tiiat is the only safe course, the only philosophical course, the only pa triotic course, the only ma^ly ccuiTSe. Go into the canvass smarting under a sense of wrong though you ate, and wi rk the harder for the common cause, and demonstrate to your peo ple that you are worthy of the office to which you aspired, and, next time they will lift you upon tbe bauds of gratitude and place you In posts of honor. Take the opposite course, tight your own household, wage war upon your own birthright, try to tear d< wn the house of you fathers. Why, while your words are that the noml- nating convention did wrong in not giving you the nomination,your acts prove that they did right, for you are showing yourself unworthy pf.it. Iu politics as in religion the maxim is the same. The Sacred Scripture says “ Ho who will not hear the Ohureh, let him be aunathema wliteb, being in terpreted, means let him be d—d. So in politics, he who will nobdiear the voice of Ids party speaking through its recognized organs let him be d—d. I feel that I hove a peculiar right to speak upon ’his sut j<ct 'just now. Only last week the nominating con vention tn my own county met. I stood before it for re-eleet-ion to the Legislature. Out of ’be 141 delegate* to that convention 88 wepe my warm est;. I riends a rut portets — the strongest merchants, the ablest law yers, the honest hands of toil, too, were my advocates and friends. A trick was played. I had bitter enemies as well as steadfast friends, and as hute is more wily and astute than love, the ifwenutty of my enemies conceived a pran, which my friends in tb*-ir confi dence' did not suspect, and in an un guarded moment n resolution was passed requiring a two-thirds majori ty to elect. Iu a short time it was dis- eoveted tuat a very little more than that convention had or ganized itself into a compact body to detent my election, no matter who should be ele cted or who should not be. From 11 o’clock in the morning until 3 o’clock the next morning the balloting progressed, I lacking only six votes of getting the requisite two- thirds. At tbot hour I went into the convention determined to stop that thing. I said the general good is par amount to any man’s private interest. If you can’t agree upon me, here is a man upon whom you ail can agree, and I presented to them the Hon. Isaac M. Hutson, a lofty citizen, a wise counselor and a good man. He was unanimously chosen. But there the difficulty did not end. My friends in the convention and out of the conven tion were at a weldinfi: heat; the peo- nll the shock* and convulsions of time and Its enemies, and yet survive. It Is founded upon the rock of truth and will stand forever. Bor a hundred years it has stood like one of these grand mountains I saw but a few days hgo, broad iu its base, grand In its sides, with its tapering summit em- macing the sky and bathing in the sun-lifting truth; dark clouds have lowered aborr^ts head; storms from the South have arisen and beat upon It; winds from the North laden with fanaticism and hate have poured their blaets upon it; tornadoes from the east have swept over It, and the driv- Londow, October 29.—The Gazette editorially declare* that the treaty of Berlin Is a failure, and that It will be impossible to arrive at a pacific solu tion on Us lines, and that the sooner the fact is recognized the better. Peace, It is said, must be commandedj by commanding the’arrest of the reck less power which has kept Europe to commotion for years past, and now threatens to break away from all law and all restraint. If this Is only to be the thunderbolt has descended and the winged lightning has pierced It; but the pure breath of the spirit of liberty has blown thsm all away, for they were but wind, and there she stands, broad in her base, grand In Its sides, rearing its lofty head to heaven to bank in the smiles of God. Who cannot stand by such a party? are certain, just as Gratitude for whabwe received in the past demands it; all the hopes we have In the future require It; and all who east their puny dartn at her will be considered by the spirit of liberty, her enemies, and he blown inlo ato' by her breath, and fall scatterdttto fragments at her feet. Fellow citizens of Hampton, a few more words and I am done. I stood by your cradle. I was chairman «f the committee which reported the hill to create your county. I listened to the potent arguments of your distinguish ed citizen, CoJ. Moore, aud 1 felt for you, and I gave his bill a favorable report. It was opposed in the House. My col league, Ma.j. Youmane, and myself fought it through. It went to the Senate; there it was attacked with ail the fierceness of deeperation f but You- mans, with the intrepidity aud devotion which entitled him to your eternal gratitude, hung upon it until it was safe. During all that flght, we both were asked, ‘‘ if we give them a county, can they carry it ?” We said that you could, and we promised that you would. When the bill eatne back to the House, to have this new-born child of South Carolina baptised with the illustrious name of Hampton, I was one of its sponsors, and promised and rowed in your name that as South Carolina was Democratic, and Hamp ton was a Democrat, so would you be always. I did not know many of you, but those I did know were men upon whom I could rely. I know Col. Moore, and he told me I could safely promise for you. Is he doing all he can to i*- deem the pledge he made me make ? If not, I here to-day demand that we set about doing It, for I have a right to require it. 1 knew Captain Smart; he told me I could safely promise It. Is he hrtpiug me to make good my nuifat.uuUiUj'Vjg t»HPv| vord ? If not, L require tt; at Ida largest planters, the h HI1 r] 8 to-day. And Major Jeff Warren guaranteed mo that I could safely make that promise, and that he would see to it that the straight-out Demo cratic ticket from Hampton county should triumph. Is be doing all he can to make good my words? If not, I call upon him to fulfil his guarantee, fivery consideration of good faith re quires it, and I will never relieve him from his plighted word until he pulls off his epat, and hand to band, with all the good men of Hafiipton, pulls the Democratic ticket through. log rain and sleet from the west have dcne 1d concert, and concert is to give darted thHr torrents against It, WhileT an d take matter for the benefits o» which all parties must ptty aomettfloi It follows that 'we should no from any price In reason.

He admitted the crime, and triumphantly declsred him self a socialist and an internationalist, but when interrogated as to who his accomplices were, he denied that he had acted tn concert with any one. He said he came alone from Tarragona purposely to kill tbe king. This was his first serious disappointment iu life.
