Thnra^ay, September 6, I860. 1
Speech of tlou. Jamcf Farrow.
Monday last being salesdny, Hon. James '
Farrow, in complianov with notice previously '
given, addressed the people of this District, in <
the Court House by way of a report of tho proceedings
of the Philadelphia Convention. <
Having previously addressed a very large assemblage
of our citizens in fhvor of sending 1
delegates, Col. Farrow's remarks on Monday i
last were mostly in the nature of a narrative
of incidents illustrative of the spirit which animated
the Convention?the earnestness of the
Northern deletrnlna in ll.A An.if A -f
_.T e-..vw >u ??V Vitucu VI iVOlVlilllUU ]
and pacification?the gratification evinced by
the Northern members at the presence of dele,
gations from all tlie Southern States, and the
gratification of the Southern members at the
manner in which they were met And treated by
the members from tho North.
Col. Fauow attempted, with some warmth,
to repoll tho imputation by certain palmers, that
the Southern delegates had behaved obsequiously
in the Convention,or in any way inconsistent
with the character of Southern gentlemen j
or the representatives of Southern people. lie j
said no such opinion would have been enter- 1
tained by any ono who was present ?t the '
Convention and saw the elevated courtesy (
"which was universally admitted by Southern (
members to havo characterized the bearing of 1
all the members, North, South, East nud West, (
that for the Southern members to have rcpell- '
ed the proffer of civilities from Northern members
would not only have been inconsistent
with the character of Southern gentlemen, but
would have merited the severest condemnation
of the Southern people.
He remarked that those points in tho "Declaration
of Principles," which were considered
by some as objectionable, viz: the indissoluble
character of the Union, payment of the national
debt, and recognition of the services of the
U. S. soldiers?being duties inseparably con- j
nectcd with the support of the Government,
and were virtually part of the terms upon '
which wo accepted rc-orgauization and rcstora- '
tion ; that instead of these points having been
surrendered in the Convention, they were aurrenderod,
in fact, by the people of the South 1
when the armies oNho late Coufederaey were '
surrendered, and he said tlint upon those points '
left open by the result of tho war (such as the *
right of the Southern States to representation *
in Congress, and the right of every State to 1
decide for herself who should bo voters within 1
her limits) the platform of tho Convention was 1
fall, explicit, end satisfactory to tho South.
lie contended, that if the United States government
is henceforth to be centralized and '
consolidated, to the absorption of tho Slates,
instead of there being, tn thit, any reason why (
the people of the South should cease to feci no 1
interest in national politics, it was the strong- '
est possible reason why, since we nro to continue
part and parcel of the United States, we '
should seek, by all reasonable means, to cooperate
with aud strengthen the hands of that '
party at the North most favorable to our in- '
tercets. 1
Ho said, that after attending the Convention '
he was more than ever convinced that the
Southern States acted widely in sending dele- 1
gates, that while it is impossible to foresee the
result of the coming elections for Congress in
the North, he was convinced that the l'hila- '
dclphia Convention had brought about that 1
condition of things iu Northern politics which
was absolutely indispensiblc to the success of '
President Johnson's wise and patriotic policy, '
to wit : the bringing together into one grand
and National Party, conservative men of all 1
shades of opinion, nud that he fell much en. '
cournged to hope that the coming elections 1
would bring tho success of the President's policy
and justice to tho South.
In refereuce to that portion of Col. Farrow's
remarks, alluding to the imputation ofobsequiousness
on the part of Southern members of
the Convention, we would say that their conduct
was just such as might have been expected
from any who represented the South upon
such principles as were contained in (lie invitation-to
representation. They wore bcund to
agree to all measures (hat did not exceed tiic
platform upon which tin- South was invited and
upon which sin sent her delegates. This pint
form was couched in no dubious terms; they
were too explicit to be misconstrued. If obsequiousness
is chargeable to any it is to the
people who consented to bo represented upon
such term* as were contained in the invitation
given them. There is nothin" contained in
the "Declaration of Principles," or in any of >
the proceedings of the Convention, which
could not consistently be subscribed to by j
those who advocated the sending of delegates
to Philadelphia upon the terms allowed in the
"Official Call." If that Convention had impu- |
ted to Hon. JEFrr.usok Davis and his co-adju ,
tors a felon's guilt, we would not have boon
deceived. It would have been in harmony
with the platform which foreshadowed such
action. Wc think it an inconsistency in any
one to object, now, to the action of the delegates
which no more imperils the honor of the South
than did their own act of sending them to
the Convention. It is here this obsequiousness
commenced. It is chargcol le to those, as 1
much as to the delegates, who were well advised
of the part their representatives would
have to play when they sent them to tho Convention.
rolicy sent delegatos to Philadelphia
and policy guided them in their actions.

We ore indebted to the generosity of our
friend, W. D. Mxlster, for n handsome spcciineu
of the skill and workmanship for which he
has becomeliotcd. The specimen presented us, i
for superiority of material and mechanical ex- 1
mention, canuot be excelled. Our friend cer'.ainly
did anticipate our necessities.
Monument to Andrew (!. Moore. '
Tiie Chariest on Courier says : We were shown
jresterdny, a handsome monument, just com
plcted at White's Marble Yard. It is design- 1
sd as a tribute of affection by Col. T. J. Moore, '
?f this district, to his brave brother who fell
?t the second battle of Manassas. The hero (
wlicsc memory this monument is intended to i
commemorate, was a graduate of the South
Carolina College, with honors, we think in the
Class of 18<?7. The monument is thus describ- ,
cd in the Charleston Courier: 1
The base of the monument is of granite,
with a second base of tnurble, above, four feet I 1
three inches square. Over the second base is I
u massive marble, with inscriptions ami rep- <
resent at ions of the service in which the deems- 1
el yielded np hig life. In front is the follow- '
ing inscription : <

Mr. Editor : Wo were pleased to see fiom j
he nomination in your paper of last week,
.hut the friends of sobriety and good order, I
were making nn effort to put down the licen- 1
ting of retail lnpior shops?which has provcu
tuch an unmitigated curse to our Village for 1
lie last twelve months. 1
That simple nomination lias doubtless elicit
rd many an anxious, earnest prayer from the
>r >V:?n hearts of wives and mothers whose
msbands and sons have learned the way to '
he Village grocery.
A few days ago a man was entrusted with j
i small sunt of money, hard earned by the in- <
lustry and economy of his wife, for the pur- 1
Jose of purchasing a tew necessary articles ^
or the family; but before lio hud nmilc the
lurchases, he was induced to take ono dram
vhicli prepared the way lor others, and instead
>f making a happy household that oveniug, <
here might have been seen a disappointed "
vifc in tears, and children hiding from their
uihcr. Such iustnnccs arc occurring daily, j
ind will doubtless multiply as long as the ?
present facilities for drinking arc afforded. 1
I5ui 1 do not propose to offer an a gumcnt
>n this subject. The propriety cd' legalizing lie
privilege of making men drtink, has long 1
tince ceased to be a question.
Spartanburg lias for many years enjoyed ,
he reputation of being a sober and moral i
tillage, but we certainly cannot boast that it 1
las been preserved untarnished for the past
twelve months. Still we caunot believe that
lie moral sentiment of the people has been i
jhnngod. At the last municipal election the :
ulvooates of the anti-license system allowed (
hcrasclves defeated by default. Several dry j
tickets were nominated, and there being no
concert of action, the votes were divided, ami
i
consequently all ttie tickets defeated. Another )
effort of tho same kind is being made now. ' i
Personal objections are being urged again-1 j ]
ilie ticket nominated, and another being circu
[tiled, representing Mie same principle. This
is done by the supporters of the boons system,
for the purpose cl'dividing theanti-liccns voio '
Several ol"the gentlemen nominated in this now
ticket have positively declined to serve if elc*
ted. Of these 1 am authorised to mention the
the names of Maj. Joiin A. Lee an 1 t'apt. J.
\V. Carlisle.
It is earnestly Imped tlifft all personal objections
to the gentlemen of the regular uomin i- j
lion will be laid aside, and that the Iriemls of
the great principle at stake will tusn out on
the day of election, and unanimously support
(lie nominated ticket.

Fei.low Citizens : My name having been
announced by my friends as a candidate for
Tax Collector at the ensuing election. 1 thought
at that time I would run the race, but owing to ;
circumstances that have since transpired, I ,
have concluded to withdraw. In bidding you
adieu, I cannot refrain from returning you my
sincere thanks for the kin I feeling that prompted
you to bring me forward, and shall feel
under obligations to you for the same. I also
desiro to return my kindest regards to my
many friends for the encouragement 1 met with
while I was before you. 1 trust that you will
all turn out on the day of election and give
your suffrage to one more deserving.

to the valor of those against whom he
lore arms:
"What civilized nation on earth would hestate
nn instant, if the opportunity offered,
0 incorporate with themselves the brave and 4
icroie people of the South, whose fortitude
iu<l endurance in a mistaken cause, challenges
be admiration of the world ? Would France
>r Kngland, or any other civilised power, bestalo
to give to such #men tho full nnd equal
ights accorded to all other citizens? Would
lot those nations be most happy to claim as
heir own such uicti as Lee and Johuson, and
1 host of others, and to confer upon those
iriug heroes the reward which genius and
murage have always commanded ? Nould
hey fail to houor and cherish, as a part of
heir own glory, the memory of that illustrious
hrong of the dead led by Stonewall Jackson."
