Besides torches, they bear banners and transparencies inn?mera ble. Next come tho Palmotto Sable Club, under command of President M. A. Markert. And then the Clubs of the JOth Regiment. And then the Clubs ol the 9th i.egiment. And then thc Clubs of the 7th Regiment Tho Baud storms martial soul, and the torches .l~ y?he-iiOr???, unused to scene, prance and curvet with ai*?rvous impatience.

'The precession moves to wards Buncombe by the. eur street and approaches the public square again by jae front street. And soon the whole sceiie. Becomes concentrated upon the public square. The Ciubs again sur round thc park, and their torches make a lofty ?md glorious palisade (d' buming haine. The enthusiasm is too .great for 'There is bvt one soul! And that sun! is i of home, of country, of honor, of liberty. And now the meeting is again organ izad. And t'ne-'".inl becomes still more :i scene of art n?d glory. A hundred h inners (lout above it and glisten in tho . ?.?are of t!ic torches. The transparencies, which ?ire also lanterns, arc held aloft in a splendid tableaux. They revolve slow l.-, showing the inscriptions upon al! j- ,ur sides. Prominent is a targe *hnd fdthful photograph of the gallant ani beloved Hampton. Many of the inscrip tions are heroic and patriotic, while many are grotesquo and satirical. A carpet-bagger, with a huge bag, labeled ?ii)O,0O'J, is fleeing for his life, and calls out as ho runs : " Farewell Niggers/' A negro feUoW dances ?md claps nts hands, sivLug; Fall in Niggers, Pallin!

We give up much of our spaco t week to Gen. Gary's Anderson spee Mark his ablo argument concerning : legality of sending TJ. S. troops ame us at such a time as this : Mn CHAIRMAN, LADIES' AND GEXTI MEX : lu response to your courteous invi lion, I am hore to-day to participate your grand ratification of the nominati by the National Democracy of Tile and Hendricks, for the offices of Pre dent and Vice President of tho Unil States ; and of the nomination by 1 Democracy of this State, of Ham pt and Simpson, for Governor and LieuU ant-Governor of South Carolina. I appreciate it as a grateful privilej to unite with thc Fanner County of t Democracy of this Stato, in giving P. pression of unqualified approval to t selections of such distinguished star ard bearers of our Party. Tn tho da and gloomy period that we have ji passed through, during tho administi t:on of our State Government by t carpet-bagger Scott, the scalawag Mosi and the wily charlatan Chamberlain, t unswerving devotion of tho galla sons of Anderson, to principle in pref? ence to policy, has cheered the spirit thc mon of old Edgcfield whilst battlii for thc great causo of Democracy ai the redempton of our State. The acth of the National Democracy in adoptii a Platfoi m expressive of the time-ho ored tenets of our Part}*, has successfi I}' rekindled the spirit of 177(5 upon tl Centennial altar of our common countr Thero has been two parties in the Unit< States since the adoption of our Consl tution. The names have at times change but tho great dividing distinction h; bscu upon tho construction ol', tho Coi stitutlon. Hamilton, who was im but with the traditions of a monarchical go' ern m cut, did not possess that originalii of thought that enabled him to free bin self from the hereditary idea of astror aud central government, in which a power was placed, and in which all tl rights of tho States were consolidate He could not appreciate that tho Stat reserved those powers that were tl delegated to the National Govornmen The genius of Madison and Jefferson, i the famous Kentucky and Virginia Bes. lutions of 1708, gave the initial cmstru cion of the Constitution of tho Unite States. That construction has been u| proved and elaborated by Mr. Callion in his discourse upon the Constantin and Government of the United State This construction has embodied tho eei irai principles of the Democratic part throughout its varied fortunes; and th! trill' truction can alone protect the poof) of tho United States from such a bob avaricious, unscrupulous, "bad man as io who now occupies tho Exocuth Ch dr of the American Republic. The opposite construction of the Coi stitution, would perpetuate this govert nient in thc power of a political lactic that has corrupted its foundations, lille its offices of trust with thi-ves and plui derers, and made its name a by word an a reproach among the nations of ll; earth l?s perpetuation in power wonl bo the loss of our liberties by the coi version of this great Republic into corrupt and loathsoino empire. T ai glad to anuounee to you that the recei decision of Chief Justice Waite, of Hi United States Supreme Court, in th celebrated case of the United Stato Plaintiffs in errors, against Wm J Crina shanks, Win. D. Irwin and John 1 Hlldnot, was made in conformity wit the construction of tho Constitntio placed upon it by the Democratic part\ wherein he uses the following language "the government of the United States i ono of delegated powers alone. Its an thority is denned and limited by th Constitution. All powers not grantee co it by/that instituaient are reserved I thc Stiyfo* or tho ^ooplo." It ta a grab*, lying fact, alike to Democrats and Radi cals, that tho Chic! Tusticoof the Unitei .States holds the scales of justice with ai impartial hand, that the ermine of hi high ollicc is pure and unstained l>y th universal corruption that has surround ed him. With such a Chief Justice am with a D?mocratie Congress, there is i well founded hope that the liberties o thc peoplo may yet be protected am preserved ; that the otfice of President o the United States will soon be w reste? from one who has tarnished the swore of an American soldier, who has dis graced and dishonored the highest office ot thc American statesmen. The plum? of tho great military chieftain, which hat so often been lowered for tho sake of gain the robes of Ibo executive office, which haye been so continuously stained in UK purlieus of a corrupt party; will hav< to give way to the great civic leader clad in tho white habiliments of " Peace and Honesty," with the glorious motto ol Reform inscribed upon his banner. Tin patriotic voice of tho American people welcome his coming and proclaim in trumpet tones that Samuel J. Tilden will bo the successor of U. S. Grant as President of tbeUhited States of America. The greatobjects that we hope to effect by Reform in tho National Government through our leaders and our party, are, lirst, thc purification of the civil service department, by putting and retaining thor i none but competent and honest men ;^y regarding tho ollices as a great pubiic trust, to bo administered for the benefit of the people whose servants they are, and not as places for relatives and Iriends with personal perquisites attach ed thereto. We hope to overrule the precedent established by Grant in tho first four years of his administration, in making his ollie? a personal one and in troducing nepotism in its wo^jt. form into every department of tho Govern trient. President Grant having exhaust ed the supply cf relatives and kinsmen in the first four years of his administra Tion, in his last four, "has inaugurated the practice of placing in ofiico his. con federates in crime, those who had been engaged with him in robbing and plun dering the government. Living exam ples of tk?^custom aud unblushing cor ruption aro Babcock, Belknap, McDonald, Roberson, and a long Hst of others, whose photographs now adown tho walls Of the rogues', gallop' in tho chief cities of the Union. . , The second grand object of our party is a reduction of our ^enormous taxes. The Federal taxes for tho last eleven years amount to $4,000,000,000 ; State aud MutfchiHial taxes, to two-thirds (?) morn; making in thc aggregate *7,"if<fclU0tO00. Now how has all this amount of morey be^pxpended ? Not to pay the public debt ; not for the developinr?utof a great and growing country: not for the benefit .of thc people; but it has boen used to make rich tho eiglrrythousand office holders of this Government: \ Wosproposo in thc third place, when in pVnvcr, tojpSmblisli a fixed and stable currency, with a sufficient volume to meet tho legitimate requirements of trade and commerce. Wo will resume specie payment so soon as it can be done with a duo regard to the business rela tions that havo been established upon tho basis of our present currency. In estab lishing a currency, it will bo done in accordance withtbo old Democratic idea, of gold and ?diver and bullion being tho only true Bankable basis. The experi ence of the financial world and t he au thority of all writers on political econo my have clearly demonstrated that for every gold or silver doUar, or its equiva lent in Bullion; a Bank may Issue th roo .dollars in paper currency, that can be paid in specie on presentation, and that any other S3'stem will become inflated ?nd end iii disaster! and rufrt tpfho cn if'r. te-rfd j.'^;rj"l/J7. fbt?imittl tiro country. Our present medium exchange, and the condition of the cou try, is proof of the corruptness of the fundamental principles. Tho Bonds this government have no intrinsic valu the National Banking system .3 in gre violation of tho doctrines laid down ? Adam Smith. Mills, McCulloch, Ricarc Say, Cooper and Bowen : in fact they a in violation of tho experience of ti financial world. In proof of what I ha stated, I will quote from tho text ol recent author " Boreghot" on Lomba Street. He says, " by the Law of Kn land, the legal tenders are gold and silv coin (the last for small amounts onl and Bank of England Notes. But tl number of our attainable Bank Notes not like American 'Greenbacks' d pendeut on tho will of the State; it limited by the providions of the act 1S44. That act sepaiates the Bank England into two hah os. The issue d partinent only issues notes and can on issue ?15,(00,000 on Government seem ties. For all the rest, it must have Bu lion deposited. Theroare here ?15,000,0 Bank Note:? on securities and ?18,288,6' represented by Bullion. Tho Bank England has no power by law toincrea; the currenoy in any other manner, holds tho stipulated amount of sccuritie and for all the rest it must have Bullion This is tho system that has preserved tl currency of the Bank of England, an it is the "cast iron system" that CH alono establish a fixed and stable currei cy for the United States of America With a currency estab'ished upon sue a basis, will come a restoration of th public crodit, and a finn maintenances c tho national honor. The timidity of ti: capitalist will be removed ; the specul: tivc impulse of the merchant will t auickencd.; tho sails of commerce wi be unfurled ; the whistle of the Bai road engine will break in upon the stil ness of tho forest of the West ; the dooi of thc manufacturers of the North, no closed, will bo thrown wide open, an tho New England tramps willcea.se the: wanderings; thc cotton o' the South wi bloom more beautifully, and its whit fields will again assert thc aristocracy i King Cotton ; the South and West wi be relieved from M the paralysis of har times;" and tho North and East wi roane to shrink and tremble under th cerebro spinal nieninge!is of a disorgan ized financial system The election < Hampton and .Simpson will have th same grand results in respect to So ut Carolina, that the election of Tilden an Hendricks will have upon tho futui prosperity of the United States. If yo look to the civil service nf the State, yo will seo the olliees of Governor, Liuii Governor, Treasurer, Secretary of Stab Attorney f?eneral, Comptroller Genera Superintendent of Education, Adjutnt and Inspector-General lilied by con ni men. Six out of eight of the abov offices aro hold by thieving carpet-ba^ gors, and tho remaining two by negroe; If we turn to the Supreme Court, tw out of three of the Judges are carpel baggers; the other isa Christian .lev Ono of our United States Senators is carpet-bagger ; the other, n conserv?t iv ; scalawag. In Congress we have, on carpet-bagger, two negroes, two seal? wags. The General Assembly is com posed of seventy-fivo negroes, cigb carpet-baggers, and thirty thrco whit Democrats. The President of tho Senat is a yellow negro, and thc speaker of th House of Representatives is u black nc gre. This dan can not be surpassd :i ignorance, venality ami corruption ovei by the pet satellites who revolve aroum the President of the United States. Tf you will compare the taxable prop orty of the State in 1860 with that now you will find that in I860, it aniounte< to SilOT.SJfi.'JSS. Tho taxable property now is $110,000,000; there being nov $167,i [6,288, less property to bo taxec than, vo had then. At that timo_ihe.an ui'uai < n-t" Wa"s*?5tMTr?rjl) ; tlX: au uta a "State tax now is $1,500,000; being an in crease ol' $l,(>0O,C00. Since 1808, the part} in power in the State have collected foi State and County taxes $18,000,000. Bj the (tuning ol' fraudulent bonds, to tin amount of $15,000,000, which they sold appropriating the money arising fron the salo, that amount added to $18,000,000 makes it near $?5,000,000. Thiscnormou: amount collected from thc disturbed in dustries of a people "who had just passet through the desolation and ruin of a foin yearn' war, staggers belief, and seems U bo an incredible story ; but there are tin figures, and thc}' can not be gainsaid The existence of our State under such * government only proves the productive noss of our hind, the great value of otu market crops, and the energy and man hood of our gallant people And what has been done with this large amount oi money ? The lion's share, or I should more properly say, that the Harpie'i share, has gone into thc pockets of car pet-baggers. And still the wy for brean comes alike from the Penitentiary, the Asylum, and the barefooted negro in the everglades of Colleton. It is to perpetuate such a government, and to keep such people in office, in this State, and the other Suites of the South, that the President of thc United States, the Secretary of War and Gen. Sherman have ordered two companies of United States troops to rondezvous at Edgefield C. H. They have arrived, and aro now there. The question naturally arises: Why JiavOi these troops been sont to Edgefield eleven j-cars arter the South furled her "conquered banner," at a time-of profound peace, wbon tbero is no invasion by a foreign foe, no demon stration of domestic violence, no opposi tion to the due execution of tho laws of the State or of the United States?. If we turn to Article IV. Sec. 4 of the Constitution of the United States, it is as follows: " The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican form of governments- and shall protect each of them against invasion, and on application of the Legislature or of tho Executive (when,the Legislature cannot bo convoned) nJjfftnsT do mefitis i olen ce." Now I ask all fair minded men, if thero is any invasion threatened to the County of Edgefield ? Does ther??fcist any ob stacle in the way of convening the Leg islatur?? \( there is no invaden, ami if there was, and th?ro was no obstacle in the way of convening the Legislature, pfche Ex^cujive would have no constitu tional authority to apply f?r troops; a d the granting of troops upon an Execu tive application under such a given state of facts would be* a gross fc^uion of Law. Is there auy threatened or actual d'unestic^iolenco ? If there is, I have failed to hear of it. If 4horo is none, the applier.tion for troops by tho Governor, and. tho granting of them, is alike aproes violation of the Constitution. In the case of tho United Slates vs, William J. Cruikshank et. al., Chief Justino Waite, usos the following language : " Certainly it will not be claimed that the United States liare the power orare required to do mere police dut)/ in the States. If a State cannot protect itself against domes tic violence, the UnitedStates may, upon the call of tho Executive, when tho Leg islature cannot bo convoned, loud their assistance for that purpose. This is a guaranty of tho Constitution Article IV. Sec. 4., but itapplies to nocasc like this." This decision was made upon the En forcement Act. There is one othor clause of the Constitution that has a coloring of application to this case, and I will quote it. Article 1st, Sec. 8, which reads as follow* i"! . 1 ; ' .1 Congress shal 1 havtypowej to provide for calling forth the militia to execute tho laws of the Union,'Jsn'ppr?ss,; insur rections, and repel ,invasions/' -r Nono.,pf ?hese, conditions exist, .And lao sending*6f United Male?' troopsj4o aid in the execution of " the laws of the Union" is a gross violation of the Con stitutiou; it can only be done by thc calling forth of tho organised militia. And the proper modo ix undoubtedly to call out the militia when it becomes ne cessary to aid in tho execution of the laws of the Union, to suppress insurrec tions, and to ropol invasions. But I have no fear of interference on the part of tho officers and soldiers of this command, or of any other command. I respectfully call their attention to tho following law passed by Congress, for their guidance and for our protection : " Every otDcer of the Army or Navy, or other person in the civil,"'"military or naval service of the United States, who orders, brings, keeps, or has under his authority or control, any troops or arm ed men at any place where a general or special election-is he'.d iu any ?tuto, un less such force bo necessary to repel arm ed enemies of the United States, or to keep tho peace at the polls, shall be fined not more than five thousand dollars, and suffer imprisonment at hard labor not leas than three months, nor moro than five years."-Revised Statutes of U. S., Sec. 5528, Page 1077. Now aro these troops necessary tore pel armed enemies of the United States? In the face of the decision of Chief Jus tice Waite, in the case I have twice quo ted, when he say?, "the Ui.ited States soldiers havo not tho power nor aro they required to do mere police duh/ in the Stater," what kind of duty is "keeping the peace at the polls," if it is not police duty .' This portion of tho act is there fore clearly unconstitutional, null and void, and has been so decided. There fore any interference on the part of Uni ted States troops " to keep the peace at thc polls" will bo a gross violation of la>v, and of the spirit and letter of the Constitution. As yet there is no. elec tion, andIt??y can not keep the peace at thc polI.^^H?thj^7tb of November, tho day of thc^lectioii. Then why are they sent here in advance of the day of elec tion ? Clearly to alarm and intimidate the Democratic voters. And there is a further provision^pf the law to protect our people from such intimidation ; it is as follows : 11 Every officer or other person in the ?iilitar}' or naval service who, by force, threat, intimidation, order, advice, or ?therwi.-e. prevents or attempt to prevent, any qualified voter of any State, from freely exercising thc right of suffrage at any general or special election in such State, shall bo fined not more than five thousand dollars, and imprisoned at hard labor not more than five years."-Re vised Statutes of 17. S, Sec 5f>ii>, page lu77. Now I submit that the presenco of United Slates troops at Edgeticld, nuder all of the circumstances of tho case, amounts to an overt act of intimidation, for which the officers are liable to indict ment under tho foregoing law; and'if convicted they would be subjected to the pains and penalties therein set forth. If tho peace should bc violated at the polls, it is the duty of the Sheriff and his deputies to preserve it. If his officials are not sufficient, it is his duty to sum mon a poxHc comilatns; if they fail to ?oppress the domestic violence, it is the duty of the Governor to call to his aid the military organizations of the State, militia and volunteers; if they are not sufficient, it is tho duty of the Executive to summon the Legislature of tho State, whose duty it is to call upon the Presi dent for troops And if there is an ob stacle in tho way of convening the Leg islature, he is authorised to call upon the President of the United States to furnish him troops. Has a single one of these precedent conditions been complied with? Not one. Butin their hot haste to in timidate thc voters of Edgelield, they have ignored the Constitutional safe guards and protections of tho people. I tell the President, and his part}-, that if they place a United States soldier at tho door of every cottagoand mansion in tho County of Edgelield, and throughout the State, they yy?ll fai?jhi preventing DiVno er*t?i from HWng.^&ti? b^TRJlH rlW?^IH den and Hendrick" and for Hampton and Simpson, at tho election on the 7th of next November. The people of this State havo resolved to follow the exam plo of their twelve sis ters. The galaxy ot' tho South will not ba complete until this State takes her place in this splendid cluster. There is nothing now to prevent her. The deci sion of the Supremo Court is in our fa vor; the Houso'tf Representatives in Congress wishes us God speed ; we feel ' the touch of the elbow of the National Democracy ; and thc State is now fired with high hopo and trm resolve. Tho officers and soldiers of'hearmy will pre sent arms to us, as we pass in review. Law, Honor, Truth, Morality and Relig ion, all urge tis to this redemption. The spirit of a broad and literal statesman ship has declared in our ravor ; and the grand heirt throbs of tho Caucasian race pulsate in happy unison vith our groat resolves and noble aspirations. Under such auspicious surroundings, South Carolina announces that she will on the 7th November, of this jur glorious Cen tennial, with tho spirit of 177C, take her. position by the sid? cf the original thir teen ; and thcro she intends always tore main, tho proud peer of every State in | this glorious Union. For tho Advertiser. EDITORS AJDVKHTIIKB : An article un der the caption, "Join A. Barkor and other Patriots" appeared in a late num bar of your valuable journal over the signature "Philo Juans." The writer referring to me says, 'ho turned scala wag, thiel, robber and bribe taker so as ti fill his purse at th? expense of his race, and by the run of his country, Ac." I am aware tbat in a heated polit ical campaign it is quite common nowa days Tor politicians to use similar epi thets and apply the ?ame to those who difi'or with them. I am not content, however, to have thtse epithets applied to me, and I desire to give them my un qualified denial, ft ls truo that lama republiean^ul I denr that I have by my acts as*^)^ej?2j^Cought tl#e cou temnt of J vgB Hw pon myself or I desire v.^mr^M distinctly understood that I am'no candidate for office, because my private business demands all of my time; but in my hunj?lo way I am will ing lo do my utmost!to secure for tho State and Edgelield County a reform in tho Government which is much neoded. I desire of course to'seuuro this reform first through the inslrumeutality of my I'political party, but! do not hesitate to say that if in my opinion the nomina tions which may be riade by the Repub lican party are not siicb. as will secure this result, I will cooporato with good men of an}' party wilt in my opinion are seeking to obtain this result. I am a native South Carolinian, and thoro is not now, nor has there e|ff been, a singlo pulsation of my beartUbich is not loyal and true to the good ??opie of my State. JOHNA. BARKER.
