Seibals, Esq., of Columbia, nominated as the candidate t;f the Convention for the office, Hon. R. B. Carpenter, of Charleston. [Applause.] E. C. McClure. Esq.. nominated as the can didate, Hon. George S. Bryan, of Charleston. He said:that speakers bad stated that South Carolina should be ruled by South Carolinians. [Applause.j He did not know any difference between Governor Scott and Judge Cai pentei. Both had come here to make what they could out of the Statc; so far as he knew, one was as good as the other. Colonel T. Y. Simons, in seconding the nomination of Judge Carpenter, said : nEMAiKS OF COLO\'EL snIoNs. MrP. Presitl.t-Sie I hare had the honor of eccupying a seat as temporary chairman or this Convention, I have studiously avoided taking any active part in its deb berations. But the nomination of Judge Catpenter meets with my warm and heatty support. I believe him to be the man who, upon t:ie platform of this party, and in my judgment, the only man in South Caiolina, who can lead it on to sus cess and victory. [Apolause.] I have known Judge Bryan for many years, but in this mat ter it is not a question of personal preference or personal aspiration, but of the success of that cause in which we have this day united our uforts. [ Applause.] Sir, tt.c question h:ts been asked as to what is the diference between Judge Carpenter and Governor Scott. Judge Carpenter came to South Carolina i1.om Ken tuchy. For ne:iriy two years he has been upon the bench and for a longer period has mingled ith our people in Charlestoo. and during that time, his life has been canvassed, and it has commended him to the judgment or men of all opinions until, sir, the only regret that the members of the bar or Cnarleston, yo-:nn and old, have, is that, it he should be nominated by this Convention, the State will lose his eminent services as a jud.e. [Applause.] .I say thins, sir, as a South Carolinian-born upon this soil, whose ancestors have lived upon it for hundreds of years, and I say it cooscicn tiously that I know of no man wuo, in the dis charge of judicia! functions, has administered his duties with more ex:actness :d tidelity, and whose official course has m:et with such universal coiniendation as the gentleian cho was put in nomination by the delegate frotu Ricbland for the snifrages of this Concention. [ Applause.] Bat, sir, he has other invaluable qualities for our leader in this contest. Judge Carpenter is one of the best popular orators in the Uniied States, and if le enters into this contest and receives the firm and united sup port of the white voters of the State and of our colored citizens who have come in to help us in the patriotic effrt, he is ready to take off his coat au't stump every portion of this State, from the seaboard to the iountaiis-i-[ap plause]-to go into every ceceion pree:t:', and sunk or swim, live or die. with the cause we have this day inaugurated. [Applause.] Sir, I want no man nomnated by the Conveii tiou who will stay at home contented with that honor. This is a contest of ite and death to us, and upon its issue depends all that we have here been endeavoring to inaugurate. What is the scene we nave here presented to us for the first tiui in South Csrolina-t. scene which is most gra-ifvirn to my he:t ? Two races, hertok<re divided by the .iehiations of the coit aou coemOy, who have made of one'-the colored neea stepping stone upon which they could rise to power and plunder, are lere to-day, with hands grasped: in an effort for our common redemption. Sir, we want a roan as our standard beaier who will commend himself to the judgment of both of these races, and who will lead them to victory. I am aware that it has been said that there is no hope for us iii the contest. Mlr. -President, the time has come. in my judgment, when all the success of the efforts of that party who are opposed to any active campaign, (under the consciousness that it will lead to their detest) to senarate the two races who inhabit South Carolina, will be to put an end to. That antagonsi between the two races is their life; but the moment that the wnite people grasp the hand of the color ed man in fraternty, they know that their occnpation is cone. Then they can no longer pr?y upon the vitals of the Sl ate. Hence all the-e efforts to prevent our colored delegates from coming to the Convention, and the dc cided efforts that hav; been made to create discord among us. Mr. President, we want an active, live man to lead in this contest, aind Jade Carpenter commends himself to us be cause he is a pronounced Repjublicanl. He comes hero with the stamp of Rfepubhcan pran ciples upon him. He has, as a judge, held the scales ofijusti::e eq:ial and true between all; and, as I have 3ad, has commended himself to, the judgmient of all in our section of country. Sine: I have been in Colnubia I hare heard rumors ab.o'i him, andI have traced every one of them to thc campl of the common enemny. [A pplause.] They do not want Judge Carpe-n or nomnuted. Tucy acw he ia the strong est caradidate whom we could put up min e State to oppose the prcscuit head of our gov ermient nho has ieut himself to this sy.em of corruption aind fraudl which we i..re coden vorng to s;op, and hence thi- s:nmst er wis pcras ii refercnce to him. And, sir. I mnake the prcdiction that it' we nominate Judge Car penter, Governor Scott mdi not dare to meet him on the slurup in any prcinct in the State. [Appuse.) '.herelore, he is the man tha. our opponents do not want to have, nomitea. Dot, sir, the Charleston delegation can bear witness to Judke Carpenter's standint and quaities to fitly fill the Executive chair or ihis State. T he p.resident of our Chiamnber of Comn mece. [ Mr. Mure, J who is the chairman ot our detegabron, can srizak wita coufidence on the subject. We has' been associated wiith ilm imme every v-ocat en ii hite in our- cty, and every a-aninm thme del snon will tel you that driig his residencO in their midst, he hac ronducted hirmselfin such a way as 1tocom mend himself to our support andI confidence. A few words more, Mr. President, and I shall ave fiuished. There was a citizen of South Carolia, since decased, who was one of those mnst opp.osed to the whole o: the change which has taken place in the publie afnurts ad the Sate, who was opposed to.Judge Carl, a Icr-was utterly prejudiced against him ic garding lhim as an interloper who had came with others into out State to usurp the place of its citizens. Judge Carpenter had not been one year upon the bench when tt-at geutlemanu metthe judge in the streets, and, in mvy presence, took him b>y the hand and saidl: "If there ts one thing that can reconcile rme to the change that has taken place in the judiciary of South Carolina, it is that we have been able to ecure a man like you upon the bench." i Ap Mr. President, we have hut one common cjec to attain. ~ie arein a real te hi, and we have got to take ofi our coat.s; and it we at in good faith, in aecomrdanec- nith the de clarations we hare made to ftie colored rac. nd meet them face to lace upon the stump with our candidates I believe that success null ,-twun our effortIs. The tso qu:ditio.s which our candidate must have, besides a character or tebgence, integrity, and a familiarity with public affairs, are- the ability to go be- ore the people on the stump, and the deternuina lion to do it. Before I left for this Convention I met Jndge Carpenter, and alked himn ifhe would accept the nomnuation if it was tendered to hi., He said tihat it tihe white i-ace wouhld ssstain the movement, he would stump the State and wherher deteated or successful, lie would feel satisfied thatt lie had been reward he the cliforts which h" had made sart a goverfnmenat of corr1uptica and wirong.

Genrat ML C. Butler, of Edrenield. [Applause.] General Kershaw stated that he was re queted by General Butler to announce to the Coreatoim that under the State Consuitution be was disabled from holding office. He deem ed t proper that the Conveni.ion should bc Mr. B:d, or Djrliuton: nominate F. L. Cardozo. Mr. A. A. Barper, of Charleston, said that as a Ctnservative colored citizen, and one who had come bere calculating to support any honest and upright man who should be nomi nated, to remove the unprecedented taxation which had been imposed upon the people, t1e urged the nominatior or a colored man as candidate for the offilee of Lieutenant-Gover nol; to that end he would present the name of Mr. W. E. Marshall, of Charlesion. Mr. G. W. Martin nominated Rev. Jonas B;rd, of Charleston. ir. \. E. Marshall rtated that. he was much oblired for the compliment which had been tendersd him by his colleague, [Mr. Harper.] but the position of L:eutenait-Govelnor was one which he did not feel h- had the ability to fill. ki felt constrained. thereftre. to de clitne the nomination, and he would g!:idly second the nowination of General Butler. 1r. Theodore Mitchell. a colored dlerate from Charleston, said he did not thiel that the coast should elaim everything, but that they should coasult the feelings and wishes of other portions of the State. The candidate tot Gov ernor had been conceded to Charlestou, and with that the lower oaitr", shrould be, atiaied. Mr. Johrson. also a co:ore dele,Iate front Charleston, urged the nomination ofa iolored man for the position of Lieinterant-Uovernor. Rev. Jonas iyrd thanked the gentiem:ai who had nentioncd his ia-ne in c;lnnection with the ofi.-e of lientenant-Governor. lIn his view, ignorance conid never permanently rule inte!ig;nce, aid tit would niot vote to nominate any man who was nit qualified for th - posit.ion~ i" wiich he was -uggestc"d. [Appl-ise. He was with the p;ople of t:s State it the good r,o' -, and lie urged that they shnld put forward men whose nimets would cairy weight. Hle voul.l It very gla: if they contid find a colored unt amonr' theml who was competent to fill the offi. of I tenant-Governor; but he m-st siy, in trutht, he knew of no such man. and biiene he would gladly vield to the nominatiot of Geiiera Et ler. [Applause.I Generat Keranaw said that he did not desire to participate in diascs;on upon thi:i aub ject. Anything that might be said was neces sari!y so peraonal in its bearing that it v;az not pleasant to die.s suh natrers. He' would say, ini all candor and sincerity, that he would prefer to have an honest, cap::ble color ed mau upon their ti-ket to a.1 fr:and of his own, however able or in harmony with n!s po litical views h^ niigitt be, and lie would do this as an evidence of good faith in c.trr.in out, in all its cotsequ:'ncee, what they had so solemnly ucelarel to be their plurpose. I Ap plause.] 151t they ,were emb:rrassed by the fact that the only colored man who now re mained in nomination - [Mr. Cardoz: i-al thoup, so far as he was awai, he won:d be acceptable to the Conveetion, as lie certam.nl woald be to him (c-ener.il Kersiaw I a9 c11on3 stituting an honorable exception to those ho:ding nigh office in the State -ie was s: tied would decline the nomin.tion. lie W-i it in tavor of non-iniling an; iaan who thry had reason to beli ,e would not accept the tomnation. Thti. as to his cs:eeied friend, Genera! Butler. As hait been aunoneeed, that gentlemiana was laboroig tuler poi:tical d:s ablin, and hence the first incllatlito onf hs mtind was agpinst his nomination far the rea son of his di6abilities. ;:ut thi.;r clkr.ld frinds had taken ihis matter intO their ow: hands. and had ulged General Butlr'.s i nat:on, even though he was labtorittrt ui-.ir disabilties, and it tne colored deleg-.tte' ueai)l nously desired that nomia + I":.: ramade, it would be done. ilr. WV. E. .!arshall, a enlclre dluetge frii Charleston, fa?ored the nomination of Ge neru ! Butler. In coming to thii Conienton he had but one purpose, and that w.s to aid in selecting ien of nudoubted nteri;y and ability to conduct the government of tAe State. The taxation of the State had iunereased i such proportion that city and country alike were nearly driven into banhruptcy, and yet the Shylocls wer more and more exactig. The poor were especially interested in this matter; for thon2h the taxes were paid by the property owners, yet ultii:t.tey .they came out of the laborin. classes. This view shiould be presentod to the understandiig of tile coi ored people. and le did not know of any one more competent to bring the matter belore then than Genera! Butler. [Applause.J Mr. Y. J.

CAROLINAL :FE INS URANCE COAPANY. The Carolina Life Insurance Company, of Memphis, Tennessee. has established an agency in South Carolina under the general managonent of General M. C. Butler, one of the ablest and most popular men of this State, aided by influential local agents ii every im portant town and neighborhood. We have heretofore urged the propriety of life insurance as the dty of every man who has a family dependant upon him for support. Death has all seasons for his own. The stay and protector of the helpless wife and children is liable at any moment to be stricken down, and leave those dependant upon him to face the hardships consequent upon having to trust to the cold charities of an unfeeling world. By devoting a portion of his annual earnings to securing a life policy in a sound company, the fear of his loved ones suffering after he is !one is removed, and the bed of death thereby robbed of one its severest pangs. To t he man of capital life insurance offers - c-rt.ain investment, flce from all the vicissi tudes of business and the risks of speculation. Hardly a business man at the North or in Enrlaud can be fonna who has not his life in ailred for an amount sufficient to provide for the comfort of his family in case reverses in business should overtake him. For over a cantury and a half life insurance has flnfilled its work, and its success has vin dioated the claims of its advocates. It rests on almost immutable laws, which have been establishcd by the most patient and accurate observation. So accurate are these laws, and so correct are the principles on which life in surance c impanies are conducted, that there is to instance of a life insurance company in the Uuited States having faded, or having proved unable to pay its risks when they fell due. The Carolina offers inducements to those wish ieg to insure, which, as we are informed, are only offered by one other company in the United States. This desirable feature is that a "dcinite cash surrender value," which can be ascur,ive.l at the time of insuring, "is guar anteed tin at pteis iri.ad by non-payment of prerium." That is, if a person, havins paid ip his annual premium for two or more years, tinds himself unable to make further pay ments, the company will, unon a surt ender of the poliey, return to him the money paid in, l ss a certain per cent. charged for having carried the risk, or, if he prefers, will lend him the surrender value of his policy at six per cent. interest, and thereby enable him to keep his policy running until better fortune iiles upon him. The fact that Jefferson Davis, our late hon ored 'resident, is the president of the Caro Ina, is alone sufficient to inspire confidence in tho integrity of its managament. The life long devotion of Mr. Davis to the cause of the Southern people is guarantee enough that he would ask them to invest in no enterprise ,hich he knew was not hedged round with the most ample security for their protection. Like thousands of others in this unfortunate section. he was stripped of his possessions by the results of the war, and for.:ed to apply hiiaelf to some pursuit for the support of his family. Still in the vigor of a matured man hs:.d, his who:e time and attention are devoted to the manaement of the sixairs of this com p"any. Re is daily at his desk. and there is no departn' el of the business that is not sub ject to his closest . orutmny.-Chta'r lco;. Stoll, Webb) c; Co. A vitit, e-en at this dull season of the year, to the dby gaoels emporitun of this firm, on King street. will convince the most skeptical that they still maintain that ascendancy in I heir line of I rale, which they so brilliantly won inimediately on the opening of trade at Ihe close of the war.

It is the des,re of the board to place on the market by fall, a first-class fertilizer, and the aim of the founders of the company is to have the stock held by consumers and parties out. side of Charleston, the board pledging itself that they will offer a first-class article, their aim being to give to the consumer snch an ar ticle as will be most desirable. The board of directors is a guarantee of their intentions, and with their list of stockholders, extending for over twohundred and fifty miles from the seaboard, there is no reason why this company should not be as useful to the farmer as the farmer is to the prosperity of the State, and the investment as profitable as any that can be made.

There can be no doubt now that the Fair of the South Carolina Institute, to be held in Charleston, on the 1st November next, will be the grandeet event of the kind in the United States. The place secured for holding the fair is the eelebrated Washington Race Course, where ample space and overy accom modation can be provided. The Race Course of one mile circuit, surrounds a level and cul tivated farm, admirably adapted for all trials of agricultural implements and agricultural skill; while the Committee of Arrangements has in charge the erection of bandsome and commodious buildings for the convenience of spectators, and to afford room for the exhibi tion of all articles requiring shelter. The ar rangements with large manufacturers through out this country and in Europe, is such as to secure an exhibition of implements and machi nery second only to those seen at the World's Fairs; while the departments of art and indus try of all kinds will be equally well displayed. The Race Course itself aff.)rds at opportunity for the exhibition of blooded stock, which will not be neglected, and representatives of the best studs in Kentucky, Virginia and New York, and, not improbabiy, of England also, will try their mattle on its track. The exhi bition of cattle, and of acricultural products, will form an important part of the show. The grand event will be the tournament, .in which riders from all sections will contend, and which will doubtless collect an array of beauty which will be after all the chief attraction and greatest ornament of the fair.
