ORR delivered st the dinner given bj the Charleston Board of Trade, on Tuesday eve ning, the 21 inst : Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Jiiard af Trade: Allow nie to return my thank* fur th? tl Uteritis reception which you Lave ac corded to the sentiment in honor of South Carolin?. I receive this testimonial as an indication of the stine respect, regard :iud affection for her Executive in the ptewint, as has been exhibited for her Executive in the past, and I hope will be in the future. I am giad to meet you on the present occasion for many reasons. I think that such meetings as these are calculated to promote the pros perity of our commercial interests, and ?ti so doing they must promote in the same propor tion tbe interests of the State at large. An other reason why I am glad to meet rou on the present OCCIMOU is that I see around me the ililli dignitaries of the army and navy of the United States. I also soe around \ac the civil ollicer* of the United States, and I also rocogu:z<* the chief magistrate of the ptinci pal city of South . Carolina. Ii is the lird occasion, at least within the limits ol' S"ui!i Carolina, .-ince the eloise of the war, that I h_vc l>een able to witness such substantial evidence of reconstruction, xml th?- re estab lishment of tbe sume bonds of union that existed previous to the war. I would be glad if it lay in my power to indicate auy means by which the prosperity cf Charleston could be restored. This cit>. ia dtcp-rooteJ in the affections of the people of tue State, and in that respect she is excell ed perhaps by no city in the world except Paris where, ?iu fact, Paris is Prance. I know, however, of no other means than the introduction of capital. When I look around me and see and recognize the many men of hi??h intellect and great enterprise, I feel tod I kuow that Charleston does no* lack in thee important elements of prosperity. lier great need ivcapital.' Aud now I ask you, gentle men, how is this capital to be obtained ? Bu ?does* men like yourselves have doubtless had your attention drawn to thia question time and again. Before the war t?te re was iu this city a banking capital of $14,000,000, aud now you have a banking capital of only $ t??,?00. Just to think of the contrast, gen tiet?en! What? difference between $14000,' OOO and .SlOO.O'JO. Now, too, you need the $14,000,000 mure than you did then. Now the Cotton crop of the State is only 100,000 b iles, then it wf.s 300,000 bale?. Doubtless this has seemed to you a great reduction ; but go over this whole State now and exaui iue the prospects for the incoming crop, and it is obvious that there must be a still further redaction. And why is this so ? Why has not more Cotton been raised this year than last? It is because you have not had the capi al to enable you to alford to planters the nece<sary facilities for the cultivation of their crops. How, then, is this evil to be cured ? I have been trying myself for the last two year? to cure it according to the plan laid down by the President of the United States. That plan has, however, proved unavailing. Within fhe laefthirty days; after South ?arolina had done all that tin* President required her to do, the Congress of the United States LA3 in terfered "and declared that it was for that body aud not for the President, fri dictate the lirais on which -his country shall he reorgan ised aud restored to a state of peacn and civil government, and in pursuance of this 'icctrine they have passed the acts known as the Sherman bill aud the Supplemental bill. The great aud vital question, not only for 0 South Carolina, but for all the Southern States, is, shall wc come forward and accept thc terms proposed, however unjust and un generous, and carry them out in good faith, or shall wc fold our arms ar.d say that we will take uo step in this matter ? ? propose, oa this occasion, to off;r roy opinions as to the course which Sjuih Caro lina should pursue in this momentous crisis. They are, however, but the opinions of an individual, and I do not wish to force them down thc throats of those who may diiTer with me. If the opinions I express are not go id, and I cannot substantiate them by ? lund reuaoning, let lhem rejevjt them. I think, however, that it is cspable of demon stration, that all our* interests, agricultural, commercial and manufacturing, will remain paralysed until our political relations shall be re-established. So long as thc: constitutional amendment waa offered to the people of the South for their acceptance or rejoction. so long ns the Congress of the Unit, d S'ates treated the Southern States as State?, I ad v'ued against its adoption. Congress has now, however, assumed that thi< is a conquered territory, and that to it be.ongs the right io dictate t?rms t?f peace. Their power is good for two years at least, and they have placed themselvea squarely on the ground that wc are i conquered people, and that ground they arc able to maintain. I for on? oppose an appeal to ?he Supreme Court, and believe that our true course is to come forward and ac cept the terms offered and carry them out in good faith. I have said to you that the terms are ungenerous and unjust, but they have the j power to'demand these terras in spite of the I efforts of the President to the contrary, and j when l'iey ipeak. and I "-ec their power, I think that our true policy is to yield. That these views are di si ute res'.cd, even those who have heretofore chosen to look upon me with distrust must acknowledge I am among the disfranchised. I canuot vote. I cannot hold the humblest office ia the gift of thc people. I believe that the disfranchising clause is an unfortunate one, and I believe that Congress will find it to be so. According lo an analy sis of the population of Anderson District, in which I reside, which has been carefully prepared, aud on wich I think we can rely, the proportion of disfranchised persons is one eighteenth of the entire population, and 1 believe that is the average throughout the State. Of these disfranchised persons many enjoy the esteem and respect of their fellow ?iiir.ens, and many 1 honestly believe, are cieeded to carry on* the government, and their absence from tho convention for framing a lies'constitution will be rt loss to the State and country, not only on account of the bflu euee which they wield, h it likewise on ac ount of the wisdom which they posses*. Yet. with all that, I believe it is better tint they tdiould be excluded from t?it? privileges of voting and holding office, t han that wc should i refuse the ttrms offered, when there i-s a | reasonable certainly that worse will be de- ? ?landed and enforced. The confiscation bill, for instant*, will in all probability bc passed ' ?ind carried into execution if we revs', but will n-t if we yield. Looking, therefore, to tho interest of the great mass of our people, jt seems lo be the dictate of the highest wis dom to accept the ierran tffered by the Sher maii and Supplea-ental lilla. Therefore I *ay to every mau who is no*, dfofraoebised, tthen registration is inaugurated do not fall to register, and when the election comes offj he hure to vote for (ho Lest men you can se lect to represent you in thc convention whieh is to frame the constitution f.nd the govern ment under which you und your posterity must live. I think that universal suffr.igc is amistad, Md ifcftt Congrceji wUl di*wer it tobt? HE8BB? B , -Ug ??'??Lg??g mis'uko. Before thc law establishing m sal suffrage bad beeil passed.. I favored ?. suffrage to the freedmen on educations property qoa'iiications. and that fdr tw< sous. Firsi, it would have preven'ei great influx of ignorant voter-?, upon t evil disposed persons will act for sinistei poses, and second, because it would have better for tho freedmen themselves. T\ reasonable property arid educational qua! tion for suffrage, it would cot have bee) j-cars before cwfy freedman worthy o privilege of t-ufJragc, wouid, by energy application, have obtained the necessary ( lication, whereas now, the privilege of sui having beeu indiscriminately bestowed, left without that great inducement t'> imj aud elevate himself. Education will imf the freedmen and elevate them intellect and morally, and make them eo.u^equ belter citizens, lt is our duty not on educate them, but to leach them economy thrift. It is for our interest that the blacks sh vote with us. How is this vote to *.e secu: I have beard a ^rcat d^al said about con: in-* the vote of tue freedu.en. If it i tempud to comm! it by personal ir.flu the attempt uaust fail. There is one way, j one aione in which this control, so muc I be desired can bo obtained, and that i proving to the freedmen that their intti and ours are identical. That t?ere is i cient general iuleiligence amoug them lc prec?ate this argument there can be litth rathtr no doubt. I believe that I could p . t to any one of them in ten minutes' con sation, that it was for his ?merest to havt friends here and not in Massachusetts, has been generally supposed that, bec: they were kept in a state of slavery by white people of the South for a loni,' serit years, as soon as they became free they wi become our enemies. It issaid to thetn no.' our enemies ttiat they cannot trust the w people of the South, because we have alv, hitherto oppressed them, and that they n look to the North for their friends, bees they were set free by the people of the N J I will tell the colored citizens of thi^ S that it was not proposed at the commet meut of the war to set them free, and th* wm not finally determined on until they w Called upon to cuter tho army of the Uni States. But, grant that we w?vre their pretor* and that they were set free by people cf the North, we and they now ot py a new po>it"on.-what is their in tere1 our interest ; many of them, too, can recol when they receive! pecuniary as-?.-tance fi different individuals of the white race! If agriculture is to flourish at the Sou it will be mere for the benefit of labor t] for the benefit of capital. The tax of t cents per poucd on cottotl ?fleets the bia of th.s country ;-let us see now what a has beeu drawn from the bone and sinew the State ! On a crop of 100 OOO bale, cotton, a tax of $1 2;)0.OOO is collected,-ali it levied on the industry, energy and laboi the colored population of South Caroli when not a dollar of tax has been laid 0:1 wheat raised in Ohio or the corn raised Ken tuck}'. Do not tell mc that thc r.c?n cannot understand this argument. They u< representation much as the white pcof The tobacco of Virginia and North Carol: has been as unjustly taxed as the Cotton South Caroli ia and other Southern Stat and the interest alike of the white and c ored man of the South is that they sboi have a representation in Congress lo prot< them frc;j the evil of such unjust ?cgislatii It ?3 not then by intimidation or by bro beating or wronging these people that we ; to secure their votes! But by showing th? that their interests and ours ate identic They have intellect enough to know when are acting with them, and they will Ui foti standing shoulder lo shoulder with thc wh men on this platform. It is naturall}' to expected that their synpithies will bes pealed to against us. Radical empaties tv say to them that we wore their taskmast-ria oppressor;, but, if it was so, it was so by t law, and it was thought right ; but '.hat sta of things hag been chanced, and thc produ of the black's labor goes into his pocket docs that of the white man into bia. Al expect my remarks to be printed, I desire say one or two thiugs especially for t blacks. Trust no emissary who wishes hitch you on co any party ; who say? to y that you must vote so and so. Say to t emissary from Massachusetts go home, a: do not onie her-: and tell mc what to < Under the law of South Carolina a3 it n( is. whoever made it, every colored man e vote ; but in Massachusetts no man can TC who cannot read and write. Tell the emiss ry from Ohio to enlighten the heathen hot-e. It is not one month since New J? ?ey, Ohio and Miehigau refused, althoUj they voted for thc bill to establish univers suffrage throughout the South, by their Le islature in soleniu conclave, to allow the cr ored man to voto. Tell these emissarii then, to go b^ck and remove the beam fro the eyes of their own people before th come here to remove the mote from the ey of ours. Mr. President ..nd Gentlemen of the Boa of Trade, I am afraid that I have detain* you too long, but there arc a few more r marks I feel called upon to maka. I have seen indications of an effort to 0 ganiz.e throughout the Slate a National Unie Republican Radical Part)--I think this what they call it. i:i my opinion tins is m wise. It would be better for whites and Wael to turn their attention to State p .lilies, watch carefully over the preparation of State constitution, and then when we hal s?cured representation in Congres-, send me there not pledged to Republicans or Dem erat.?, but m m who will say : Gentlemen, w st:tnd by that party which gives us tqu rights under the constitution. There hi been a wide spread apprehension over tl Northern and Western ?States that, as soc as our reorcauizttion and rceonsfrucMon ai complete, thc Southern States will again fa into the hands of their old friends the Den* crats. 1 myself was identified for ten yeal with the Democracy vf thc United State and ?he di-tinguished Commander of th Militar}' Dis!ric:, who sits cn my right, ca testify that no tine enjoyed more thc cont deuce of his party or received higher houoi at their hands, in Congres*. None, therefor? have better reasons for ;. personal regard ft the Democracy than myself, and I conies that I held on to the last with the hope thn they would some day redeem their losses an turn to their former position of power an influence. But the dream is past ! Wc have SCV?T: accounts to settle with the Democratic partj before I for one can consent to affiliate wit that party again. Many of you remcmbe well the hopes and expectntious held out b the Democracy, at the time of secession, tba there ahould be no war, and that if wat di como it must commence jn the North an West. You know how faithfully iLese prorni ses were kept when wc were involved in wat i now take this opportunity to say what have never before said in public, thal, if i had not been for the delusive prom ses KUI hopes held out by the Demooraoy of th North and West, Sou'!. Carolina would hav. been the only State that wouid have seceded This is the first count in my indictiueti a-raiust the- Democratic party. My iiex count is thc Philadelphia Convention, 'fha convention adopted a platform so broad tha every Conservative in (he country could stant upou it. When that Convention adjourns there was every prospect that the Conserva lives and not the Radicals would rule tin country. No sdonet, however, were the Detr, ocrats at home than they began to considci the Philadelphia Convention ns a purel} Democratic Oonvexjlion, ?jud to loci; upon thi Conservative Republicans who joined tu it a: so many accessions to the Democratic party The result wa* that one after another of tl? leading Republicans switched off, and tbt Democrats were overwhelmingly defeated at the polls. My third count is the constitution ul amendment. The Democratic newspaper* f.aid, ono and all, reject it, we will come ii: and will not sustain the amendment. Then the fourth count is that when the Sherman bill was passed, its two most odious features j were tapked on by tjic Democrats in alliance with thc '? Thad. Steyens*' Radicals against the desires of the .Conservative Republican*. Tho former said ?twas parliamentaryst; ate; jgy, but they should baye been sure that they hod the control of tho Senate, which adopted tue bill as amended, So that the tjvo most ! odious ??Atures cf Ibo Sherm?) bill may fro set down to thc acqpunt of thc forty-five I Democrats in Congress. Now, to clap thc j climax, every Democratic newspaper snys that it is very important that we should ac cept ihe Reconstruction' bills. 1, said the Governor, wish to vote for no Cotton tax party. When wo reorganize aud are recognized I want our representatives to go to Washington with hands loose and feet loose; so that they can support that party which will dons most justice. Therefore, every effort to uuite upon a Republican or Democratic platform is sort-sighted.' Mr. President and Gentlemen, this is thc iirst occasion, since the passage of the Sher man and Supplementary bills, that I have had an opportunity of expressing my opinion as to what course the State should pursue ; and I thought it due to myself and to the people that I should give them my opinious. They should at least bc considered disinter ested, as I can neither vote nor hold oilioe. I wish to see the disfranchisement removed. I think it is best for the masses that we should accept tho conditions offered, do justice to the blacks, secure representation and recon struction, and our restoration to a certain extent to our former position as coequals* in tho Federal Union. The Governor resumed bis Beat amid loud and prolonged cheering. -* ? ? Gen. Sickles' Address to the Freedmen. A torch light procession, followed by an immense concourse of colored people, a em bled iu front of Maj. Gen. D. E. Sickles' quar ters, Charleston on Tuesday night, tooffer him the compliment of a serenade. After the band had performed several airs, in response to the loud and repeated calls of thc a?8CmbInge, General Sickles presented himself. His ap pearance was the signal for the most enthusi astic demonstrations, no said : My friends, I thank you for your visit. Al though unexpected, it is nono the less gratify ing. It is your privilege, not mine, to take part as a partisan in the political aclionof thc day ; my duty is to see that every citizen of North and South Carolina, not disfranchised, has a full and fair opportunity lo vote us his judgment and conscience may dictate. This duty 1 shall endeavor to perform. Thc colored race in this country have gained just praise for their admirable conduct during the war und pending the recent agitation of their civil and political enfranchisement lu my De partment, I cati liuly bear testimony to your patient forbearance. When sorely provokod tu retaliate cruel nets of violence ami humili ation you hare bcr?e yourselves with unfal tering confidence, that the da}' of your deliv erance was not far distant* (Cheers.) Let tue enjoin uion you all, in this 'nour of your success, perseverance in well doing. You are now cit.7.irs of the Republic. Remember that the strength of the nation lies in the virtue, industry, loyalty und courage of it. citizens. You must try aud vindicate the hopes of vour friends and repel the forebo dings of the sceptical by proving yourselves worthy of tie privileges to which you have been admitted. (Applause.) Whenever any large addition bas been' made to the voters of a State, the fame ap prehensions have been expressed lhal are now heard with reference to yourselves. Those already enfranchised arc easily alarmed at any considerable change in the established order of things. So far, in this country, experience has shown that Union, Liberty and Power ute sale in ibo hands of those who carn their 'bread by the sweat of the brow. (Applause.) None love toe laud of their birth moro fond ly; none will defend it with more constancy and valor than those whose labor makes up the sum of a nation's wealth. (Applause.) So long as thc destinies of this country are in the bands ul those whose homes are made sacred by justice, whoae liberties depend on the courage with which they are maintained the old Usg may defy all enemies, whether from without or within. (Great applause.) It would bo difficult under the mos>t favor* ble circa i statue* fur any race of men to bri gade, as you lave now to do, in thc most in teresting political events, without being deeply moved by their impoitancc and novelty. Let rae advice you as a friend, and as one not without experience in public affairs, to pre serve at a.11 times tho utmost moderation of expression, temper aud conduct. Avoid every thing like violence, impatience, or indecorum. Do not give even your adversaries jual occa sion to complain of thc least disrespect shown to them in your discussions, private or public. Aud beware of those who would endeavor to excite animosities betwecu the white and the black races. Tho prosperity of thc South, the welfare of thc country are intimately associated With the harmony and good feeling which should exist between the people cf both races. Whatever seriously impair** the interests of one race, mus. result it juriously Jo tho other. Intelli gence, culture, capital, laud, arc not less es sential than labor; and yet, without a prospe rous, contented, and happy laboring class, society lack* an essential element of strength and repose. You bavo already shown your appreciation el your privileges by the eager ness with which you have employed the op portullitii s lately given to you to educate your selves. It will not be long before the white race in the South will see how deeply they are interested in the education, industry, thrill and progress of their colored population. lu '.bis mutual d?pendent-elles the security of all. Abundant time and opportunity will be af forded, and ample notice will be given, of all the successive sleos tu be taken in th? Organ ization of tho Stile governments within my command. It will not be necessary, nor can it be otherwise than injurious to yourselves, fur you to neglect your regular employments aud associations to attend to political affairs. I promise you Lb?.;, without any .-itch sacrifice on your part, every man in tho Carolinas, en litle l to a voice in the decision of tho great questions to be pawed upon under roy super vision, shall havo a fair chance 'o act Iiis part, without let or bindrance from any o:ie. My friends, I wish you all good night. (Enthu tiistic cheers.) CIRCULAR TO THE FREEDMEN*.-General Scott has issued the following circular : Iln'ans., AJSHTANT COMMISSIONER, ] BUUKAC REFCCEES, FREEDMEN AND A?*NI>ONKD LANPS, S. C., j" CHARLESTON, S. C., April 4,1807. J [ Circular hiller.] The attention of tbs Assistant Commission er has been called to a late attempt by the colored people to obtain, through force, . re cognition of certain rights which have hith erto been denied them. Such attempts will certainly not further the recognition uf their rights, b'.n. will, on the contrary, retard their acknowledgment. Whenever the colored people think that any of their rignts are withheld, they should appeal to such authorities as are constituted I? decide upon thc justUets of their claims, who will undoubtedly secure to them all rights and privileges. . The Assistant Commissioner is confident th?t thc Major General command-* lng the 21 Military District will afford to all, the amplest facilities to obtain their rights as conferred by recent Acts of Congress. Thc dignity of the law must bo respected. Whenever a community sets aside law and appeals lo physical force, disorder and confu sion follow and society drifts into a state fl anarchy, in which the safety of life and prop erty depends upon thc mercy of an unthink ing mob. Such a state of affairs the Assistant Cotn misfioner desires to prevent, for it will un ijuettionabiy array against thc people the mil itary power of the government. Ile there fore hopes that the colored citizens will ob serve all laws i.jw in force ; and s.eek pro tecllon from Mich as are unjust and prejudi cial, only through the channels provided by law. R. K.

OU Friday night last, between thc hours of eleven and twelvu, bis Gin House wai discovered to be on firo. When the discovery wa? firit inaJc, tho building was already wrapped in flames. In a vety short lime, it was reduced to Mbes. And not only the Gin House itself, hut everything in and ?bout it. To wit, Twenty-two Balos ol' Cotton, a Carriage, Cotton Seed, Wheat, O.its, Pons, ?e., ftc. In these hard and trying tintes, the burden of .uch & misfortune cannot well be measured. Major DOM WELL dwells with particular pleasure upon the conduct of his Freedmen at the time ol this fire. He repr?senta their efforts to extinguish thc Hamos, and to rescue his property from their devouring pr<.grvss, as haring been almost super human. And speaks of their unfeigned distrcis, when all those efforts proved unavailing, iu terms of thc greatest admiration and gratitude. Some of these Freed me ts wero formerly his (laves.

He wa? b-a'cn by a wealthy iron mon ger, who, strang* to lay, boars also tho name of Barnum. This change of public sentiment in Connecticut, muy very naturally cause us to hope that similar changes may follow in the Middle and Western States ; and that the dissolution ol the great Radical-Republican pnrty has com menced.

Attorney General Stanbcrry suggested that, ts it was a case involving the original juris Jiclion of the Court, thc motion, in the first alace, should be for leave to file the bill. Judge Sharkey acquiesced, and said the coun >el for the State of Mississippi would now nake the motion for leave lo file the bill, and were now ready to argue it. The Attorney General said he contended bat thc bill, in so far as it purported to make :he President a party defendant, is, in effect, i suit against the United States; he would, herefore, object to leave being given by tho Uourt to file the bill, and lin further stated hat bc, also, was ready now to go into the irguraent of the motion. The Chief Justice, after consultation, sta ed that the motion for lei.ve to file the bill night be made and put on the motion docket, )Ut, in conformity with ru e6 of the Court, vould not bc heard until the next regular notion day.

GRAY, Augusta, Apr 8, SINGULARITIES or SUFFRAGE.-A nice COD ncntary upon the Radical demand for im mrtial suffrage in the South is found in the act that only eight of the twenty-two States lontrolled by the Radicals permit such suf rago. Of the New Eogland States, Conoeo icut is the only ouc that refuses tho ballot to olored men. Maine, New Hampshire ai.d Vermont make no distinction whatever in espect to suffrage, but Massachusetts ani ! thode Island do. The laws of Massachusetts I equire the voter to be able to read the Cor;- j titution of the United States in the English j anguagc and to write his name. Rhode Is- | and likewise indulges in a little Know Noth ngism in its suffrage law by declaring that very native male citizen may vote. In New fork, negroes with certain qualifications am .llowcd tb vote; that is, such as are worth wo hundred and fifty dollars, and have been a the State three ycars% In Wisconsin ne ;rocs are allowed to vote by virtue of a de ?sion by the Supreme Court of that State ipon a technicality. In Ohio the greater part 1 the negroes vote, although the law give he ballot only to those who have more than alf white blood. Darkeys who are.black as harcoal can vote there iu the Radical dis ricis, under the half white law. In nearly all ho other Slate?, however, the Radicals have ecliued, by tests in popular elections, to give be negroes that which they so strenuously nsist the Southern people niall give them.
