STEVENS: Dear Sir,-Your "Vegetine" has been do ing wonders for me. ave been having the Chills and Fever, contracted in the swamlips of the South, nothing giving me ielief until I began the use of your Vegetine, it giving me immediate relief, toning up my system, purif ing my blood, giving strength; were as all other medicics weakened me, and filled my system with poison; a:ne I am sat istied that if families that live in the ague districts of the South and West would take Vegetine two or three tipies a week, they would not be troubled with the "Chills' or the malignant Fevers that prevail at certain times of the year, save doctors' bills, and live to a good old age. Respectfully yours, J. E. MITCHELL, Agent Henderson's Looms, St. Louis, Mo. ALL DISEASES OF THE BLOOD. If VEGE TINE will relieve pain, cleanse, purify, and cure such disease, restoring the prtient to perfect health. after tryinz different phy sicians, many reinedies,suftering for years, is it not conclusive proof, if you are a slit ferer, you can be cured? Wby is this med icine performing such great cures? It works in the blood, in the circulating fluid. It can truly be : lied the Great Blood Puri fier. The great source of disease originates in the blood; and no medic'ine that does not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon public attention. . VEGETINE Has Entirely Cured Me of Vertigo. CAIRO, ILL., Jan. 23, 1878. MR. Ir. R. STEVENS: Dear Sir,-I have used several bottles of "VEGETINE"; it has entirely cured me of Vertigo. I have also used it for Kidney Com1plaint. It is the best medicine for kid ney complaint. I would recommend it as a good blood purifier. N. YOCUM. PAIN AND DISEASE. Can we expect to en joy good health when bad or corrupt hu mors circulate with the blood, causing pain and disease; and these humors, being de. posited through the entire body, produce pimples, eruptions, ulcers, indigestion, cos tiveness, headaches, neuralgia. reumatism, and numerous other complaints? Remove the cause by taking VEGETINE, the most re liable remedy for cleansing and purifying the blood. VEGETINE I Believe it to a Good Medi cine. XENIA, 0., March 1, 1877. MR. STEVENS: Dear Sir,-I wish to inform you what your Vegetine has done for me. I have been afflicted with Neuralgia, and after using three bottles of the \ egetine was entirely relieved.

GOOD-B YE. Good-bye! Ah me! The words are weird, As bells that toll for spirits fled. Good-bye forewarns the goal is neared, And yet good-byes are lightly said, The farewell falls from laughing lips On ears that idly catch the sound, As though our lives were buoyant ships, And years were seas sailed swiftly round. Good-bye! Ab me! The words are fraught With vanished hopes and broken ties, With lessons all too rudely taught, And angry clouds in summer skies, From heart to heart the words should pass When friendly hands clasped closely lie; For swiftly runs the fatal glass, And surely comes the last good-bye. FOR THE HERALD. BROADBRI1S PARIS LET TER. NO. 20. The United States Department. At the opening of the Exposi tion, I had occasion to express both surprise and indignation at the character of the United States ex hibit. A more mature consideration of all the circumstances have con vin.ed me that the opinion then expressed, if not - entirely wrong, was not altogether right. My con stant association with the Centen nial Exhibition in Philadelphia having led me to 16ok for more than might have been reasonably expected. The circumstances at tending the exhibit of the United States were peculiar. Up to the very last moment almost, it was doubtful whether they would be able to exhibit at all. A lot of miserable political peddlars had delayed the appropriation, and when it was finally grant ed the sum was so inadequate for the business in hand that the Commissioner, Gov. McCormick, was hampered and straightened for means to place himself and the ex hibit of which he had charge in a position that would reflect honor on himself and his country. In addi tion to this, owigg to the brief time allowed for preparatiQon, many of the great firms of the country ab solutely refused to come forward at all, and many who did, for the same cause, were unable to make such an elaborate preparation as so impor tant an occasion demanded.; not withstanding all these drawbacks,. and the invidious comparisons which one of the most splendid ex hibitions of modern tigges has in vited, there is still enough in the United States Department to chal lenge the admiration and wonder of every visitor to the Paris Expo sition. With a sense of the eternal fitness of things, the Department of Edu cation guards the portals as you enter, giving people to understand that in the United States education is at the foundation of everything. Only a short distance from the en trance on the Averaue of Nations and immediately in front of the Commissioners office, is the splen-. did exhibit of Tiffany & Co., of New York, whose name and fame will be healded throughout the world by Ithose who have had the good for tune to see their display at Paris in 1878. A wonderful sight is the magnificent silver service made ex pressly for the great California mil lionaire, John W. Mackay, Esq. No such seg can he found in thb IUnited States, and very few proba bly in the world. It consists of two thousand pieces of solid silver of the most elaborate workmanship and original design, and the manu factu'e alone, exclusive of the sil ver, .oost over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. It is one of the grandest triumphs of thie silver smith's art ever seen in America. And if its equal is to be found on the globe, it can only be looked for in the palaces of Kings. An exhibit which has attracted g great deal of attention, not so much on account of ostentatious display a for the superlative excellence of its goods, is that made by Duryea's Glen Cove Starch Manufacturing Co., of Glen Cove, in the State of New York. This company will be remembered by all visitors to the Amerian Centennial Exhibition in 1876, for the splendid display made at Philadelphia in Agricultural Hall. In the present Exhibition they have none of the beautiful cases of snow white starch which captivated the ladie3, and made their beautiful kiosk the wonder and admiration of thousands and thousands of visit ors. The Maize or Indian corn in terest, of which the Messrs. Duryea are one of the principal representa tives, is one of the most important in the United States. It employs a capital in its various processes of over one thousand millions, the corn crop of two years ago being over thirteen hundred millions of bushels. The tremendous magni tude of this interest can scarcely be estimated, and its importance is not fully understood by one person in an hundred thousand even in the United States. It is for the purpose of awakening the'ill fed people of Europe to the excellence of Maize as an article of food that they have entered the Paris Exhi bition of 1878. They could win no additional honor from the contest, already their splendid case of gold and silver medals marked their tri umphs in various portions of the world, but the reputation of their maizena has given them a pre-emi nence in this particular specialty, and to this -fact is due the gold medal which will undoubtedly be. awarded them. * The corn starch and maizena exhibited by them is as white as the finest of wheat flour, and in the preparation of the thous and little dainty dishes -for which the French are so famous, it is one of the most important articles. The remarkable enterprise and ability exhibited by this firm entitle them to the highest honors and we sin cerely liope they may receive thep. The Dixon Orucible Co., of Jer sey City, have in addition to their crucibles, a splendid exhibit of lead pencils the quality of which is unsurpassed . in the world. The variety and beauty of these goods entitle them to the very highest praise. 'It is only a few years ago since this enterprise was inaugura ted in the JUited States, and now they can be found all over the pivilizedI wQrld. The marvellous success of this enterprise is ex clusively due to the talented and energetic President of the Dixon Crucible Co., the Hon. Orestes Cleveland, who was Vice-President of the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia, and is the present President of the American Institute of Newv York. A gold medal rewards Mr.'Cleveland. La4rrabie 85 Co., of Albany, have da~.e exhibition of bis cuits in fact so fine that it looks like a fairy bower. Hundreds and hundreds of the most beautiful bis cuits are arranged like mosaic work all around their case, which the gentlemarily attendant, Mr. Spear, dispenses with the lavish and generous hand. I am happy to be able to state that a gold med al goes to Albany-well done for Larrabie & Co. A Iheau.tiful exhibit is that of Le Roy Fairchild, the Gold Pegi mangi facturer of New York. If, indeed, the pen is mightier than the sword, Mr. Fairchild must be a mighty man for he has the most unique and beautiful exhibit of gold pens in the Exposition of 1878. They are here of every variety, little and big, fine and coarse. Bank pens and mercantile pens, pens for love letters, wills and briefs, in short, pens for every congeiynble object for which ever pen were used. Mr. Fairchild, I believe, is another gold medalist and he merits the honor he receives. . In the Machinery department there are many wonderful and cu rious things. Machines for making tin pans with a single stroke of a mighty punch, pchines for mak ig hand sewed shoes. How's that for a bull; punches and sewers and weavers and cutters, all of them busy and all of them wonderful. For the smnokers Allen & Co., of Richaond, have a display of their superb tobacco. Tobacco being a neutral ground on which white and black, Christian and Pagan, can stand in peace and quiet. Smoking may be very wicked, but a man looking in Allen's who ever did love a pipe would have to pray: "Lead us not into temptation." Truly BnR QARR [From The News and Courier.] TIE GOVERNOR'S GREAT SPEECII IN GREENVILLE. What He Thinks of the Views Lately Ex pressed by Gen. Gary-The Policy of the Democratic Party-Words of Wisdom for the People. GREENVILLE, Wednesday, Sep tember 18.-The speech of Gov ernor IIampton to the people of Greenville, to.day, was the most impressive I have ever heard him deliver. Knowing the keen in terest with which it will be read throughout the length and breadth of the State, I have reported it fully. The Governor, having been introduced to the assemblage by Mayor Mauldin, spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman and my Fellow Citizens of Greenville A little more than a month ago I left Columbia with a view to attend the meetings at Spartanburg, Greenville, Easley and Pendleton. I came with the view of attend,& ing those meetings, because I sup. posed I should not have another opportunity to see the people of the mountain region. I wanted only to thank them for what they had done in the last canvass, as I knew that it was unnecessary to speak foi the ensuing one. But when I reached Spartanburg worn out by work and broken down by confinement, responsibil ity c.nd anxiety-I was stricken down by illness, and from that day to this have been unable to meet my constituents. I almost fear that I am not able to do so now, and if I should not be able to discuss all the questions I should to-day, or if I discuss those I do touch upon in 4n incoherent and disconnected manner you must recollect that strong as has been my constitution I am not made of iron, and that the work and cares of the last two years have ieft their mark upon me. It was two years ago that I came into this county to plead the cause of South Carolina. When your Convention of August, 1876,, with a unanimity neve- surpassed, dit4 me the honor to nominate me as their standard-bearer, I came to these glorious mountains, under whose shadow we now stanld to rest for a few weeks and to digest the plan of the campaign, and from there I came into this Pied mont region to speak to the men of the mountains, to display our flag first to them, and~ to~f og pon them to, pally qnder- it and fight for their hearths, their homes and their. fatherland. It was no accident that arranged that part of my programme. Comn mnuning alone wvith nature in those ~grand solitudes I had considered what would be the plan of opera tions, and I determined to go first to the men of the mountains Liberty, they say, has always loved to d well g pan the grountains, and .I ba;pe fii-s to her chosen. sons. With the right of ur line of battle resting on the hills of GIeorgia, and our left extending to North Carolina, I knew w6 would sweep everything before us. I knew that the fires of patriotism kindled here would be reflected throughout the State, and I was right. They were caught up and carried on' until every hilltop glowed with them, and the slogan ~raiscd in the mo.uatnn was re-~ echoed fr'om th~e coast. I have not come, however, to speak about the last cam paign. Every man and woman in the State, and every child that can remember anything, re members the glorious w-ork of those days.. I have no.j enu to speak tp. yng~ of that campaign then, but of the future-to tell you of the campaign of '78. You -your Convention which recently assembled in South Carolina have sent your old standard-bear e again into the field. You have placed them upon the same broad, atholic and liberal platform which drewv to its support the honesty and conservative men of all par ties and both r-aces in the last great struggle. You have reite rated unanimously the principles which gave life, and strength, and victory to that struggle, and once again you call upon all citiaens of he old State who wish her wel. fare, to stand shoulder to shoulder in the coming fight. You have declared that the policy of '76 should be the policy of '78. The Democratic party of the United States countenances no proscrip tion on account of birth, race or color, and you have solemnly.giv en your adhesion to the declara tion of principles announced by our National Convention. That convention declared its acceptance in perfect good faith of the recent amendments. to the Constitution of the United States, and your State Convention accepted, rati fied and endorsed in most empha tic terms the action of the na tional party. We are thus doubly pledged to carry out in good faith the policy to which the great Democratic party of the country is unalterably and solemnly com mitted. We pledged ourselves in '76 to stand upon that platform, and in '78 your State Convention, realizing the good results that had been accomplished, reiterated it, and when it placed its candidates in the field, told them to go forth and decl'are to tihe people that .the great party which had won success in the last canvass in tended faithfully, honestly and truly to keep all those pledges of the , past, and not forget in the future the promisee made when defeat was- overslidowing us. I dwell upon these things be cause there is a manifest disposi tion in some quarters to ignore them, if not to run counter to them, and because it is important, now that we are just entering another canvass, and one fraught with the gravest issues, that there should be no misunderstand ing of the position of your stand ard-bearers in the fight. I intend that there shall be no misundor, standing of mine, for I propose to stand w here the Democratic par ty placed me in 1876, and shall conduct this canvass on precisely the same principles and the same plan as the last-=the only plan, in my judgment, which could have given us victory in '76, or could have made us worthy of it. I cannot deviate from that policy. I believed it was the true one then, and I know that it is now. And in this connection I must enter, my most emphatic dissent to the views expressed by Gen. Gary at the recent meeting here, and in his car d in reply to Gen. Gray. These views I believe to be inconsistent with the true pol icy of the Democratic party. I say they do not represent the opinions of your standard-bearers, nor of the Democratic party of South Carolina, and that he was not authorized to speak for your nominees. I believe that it was the conservative character of the last campaign, as contradistin guished f'rom what he calls an eaggressive" one, that enabled us to carry the State. I believe that the appeals made to the col *ored citizens bj men in whom they had confidence brought thou sauds to our support and the evidence of this is fonojd in the fact that many more thousands will go with us in the coming election. They realize that they have. been honestly dea14 with. They recognise that all. their righta have been unimpaired, and they appreciate the blessings of peace and increased prosperity which have followed the inaugu ration of Democratic rule. Gen. Gary speaks of the mode in which he desired to conduct the canvass as "the Mississippi plan." Now there are grave mis apprehensions in regard to the plan by which the gallant Mis sissippians carried their State, and by a slander propagated by some unprincipled partisan papers this p)lan has most falsely been called "the shot-gun policy." No greater injustice could have been done to a brave and patriotic people than theleffort thus made to stigmatize their heroic efforts to save their State. In one sense their canvass was aggressive as ours was. They *met the p'underers of their State at every point to denounce their corruption before the people. They devoted t,hemselves, as did our people, heart and mind to the great work of saving their State and they appealCd to all honest voters to aid them in their patri otic undertaking. In the district represeuted in Congress by the distinguished gentleman, Gen. Chalmers, there is a much larger colored majority than in any diitrsct of this State, and yet lie overcame that ma jority by a close and zealous can vass, appealing to. the colored men in earnest, conservative and effec tive addresses. And what has been the result? Only a few days ago I saw the report of an interview had with him, in which the question was asked: What he would do if the Republicans sent speakers to his district to op pose his re-election ? He did not threaten to Ku-Klux them or*to intimidate them ; he did not say that lie would resort to the "shot gun policy," but he said that he would give those visitors a cordial welcome; that he would offer them every facility to meet his con stituents, and that he would have them met everywhere by colored Democratic speakers. This is the best commentary on the Mississippi plan, and that plan I am. willing to adopt. If carried out honestly its results will be as beneficial here as they have been in our sister State of Mississippi; but in the name of our civilization and of all that has been honorable in South Carolina, in the name of oar State and of our God, I protest against any re sort to violence, or wrong, or any adoption of the "shot-gn policy I" We cannot do evil that good may come of it. Had we been so short-sighted as to have endeav ored to carry the State at the last election by force or violence, mar tial law..would have been pro claimed, and we should now be un der the hateful rule of our op pressors. Such, at least, is my deliberate judgment, and what ever might have been the result of any mode of canvassing, it could scarcely have been more auspici ous for our people than that wrought by the conservative plan we pursued. Let us be satisfied and thankful, and, above all, let .us not now forsake the road which led us to victory in '76, and which, if followed, will lead us to a still greater victory in '78. I take issue with the senator from Edgefield on.another point. In his card to which reference has been made he spoke in terms which seemed disparaging to ''the Hampton IJemoeracy." I have never assumed to myself the hon or of founding or attempting to found a school of Democracy. I am but a simple disciple of the great creed taught by Jefferson, and illustrated by the highest in tellects and the purest patriots that the country has produced. I have been and am content to follow Nvhere they have led, with out indulging for a moment in the presumption of trying to engraft one article of faith on the creed promulgated by the fathers-that creed which has given the bright est pages to the history of the country, and the success of which can alone bring back permanent peace, harmony and prosperity to that country. I1 must therefore disclaim the honor of giving my name to any system of Democracy, and I notice this matter only on account of the manner in which G-en. Gary speaks of the "Hamp ton Democracy.". If he means by the language he has used to insinuate that the proud banner of our party has been. lowered in my hands;- or if he intended to reflect upon my self personally or officially, I pro nounce tbe imputation as unfound ed as it is impertinent. It has never been my custom to touch upon personal matters in address ing my fellow-citizens. I have left my justification against ad verse criticism to the results which have been accomplished, feeling assured that my constit uents, aprcaigthe difficulties which have surrounded me, would always give me credit at least for an honest purpose to promote the best interests of the State. I depart from my usual custom on this occain, becanse I thought it proper to meet and resent what I felt to be a misconstruction of my official and personal conduct - having done this I pass to more congenial topics. Foremost among them is the most momentous problem ever forced upon a peo ple for solution ; the proposed ad justnent of the -clations of two distinct nations living on the same soil. it is not a question of a day nor of a geieration, but for all time to conic, and we have to meet it now. What is the best mode for us to meet it? I have indicated, on various oc casionls, the line I thought should be foliowed by onr party-the par ty in which nearly all the intelli. gence, educatinn and capital of the State are to be found-and have indicated the manner in which I thought we should deal with this perplexing question. It was by no fault of ours that the colored men were brought to South Caro lina; by no fauit of ours that they were afterward made -free. The same people who first brought them~ here and sold them into slavery, now claim to hav..eoffred a most magnificent libation on the' altar of Liberty by making free those whom they first enslaved for their own profit, and have now freed without loss to themselves. We cannot tell what great ob ject Providence had in view in allowing these things to be done by which these people have been brought here and liberated in our midst. We are told that "God moves in a mysterious way his. wonders to perform," and He has moved in a mysterious way in this matter. He has brought them here, relieved them of their Ahackles and left them here un tutored in mind, with all the prejudices a century of slavery has engrafted on them, and we are to be their guardians and pro tectors. I know that sentiment will not find an eeho in.the hearts of many of the colored people. They have been taught that we are natural enemies, politically at least, of the' colored men. Person ally they have had kindly feelings for their old masters. Let one of them but get into difficulties, and in nine cases out of ten he will go to his old master for assistance, and not to one of his Republican leaders. He will trust the former in everything except as to his voting. He was told two years ago that if the Democratic party got into power he would be put back'into slavery, and he believed it. I was told the other day by a distinguished clergyman that he . had had a disenssioni with one of his old colored friends, and had ask ed him, among other things, why he was no.t a Democrat. The old man said that he had been taught that it was contrary to the teach ings of the Bible. The clergyman wonderingly asked where that doctrine could be found, and the old man replied that as the Good Book only spoke of two political parties-the 'Publicans and the Sinners-he thought he must choose between them and be either a Publican or a Sinner, which was but the Bible name for a Democrat. [Laughter, in which some of the colored hearers joined heartily.] T1he old man had evi dently never observed how- many of his party were both 'publicans and sinners. [Rene,wed laughter and tremendous display of dental anatomy.] They have been at last dispossessed of the great error into which they were led by their designin g leaders, and have found that they are protected in all their rights, and are as free now as they were in '76. They recognize the fact that there has been more peace in the State and less crime ; that there is returning prosperity and that good will have grown up steadily between the races. They see that they were misled and are no0w willing in many instances to trust those whom they were taught to distrust. The evidence of all this is that while thousands voted the Democratic ticket at the last election, thousands more will support it at the next one. And now, my friends, what is to be our policy in regard to these people ? I take the gtround tha&
