Attempts have been made here, for many years past, and persistently insisted upon, that Soutji Carolina and South Carolinians were factious. I deny it. I will yield my feelings and my peculiar opinions, and trust that they will yield some of theirs. 1 know that there is not a constituency in South Carolina that will n^t, even if they belio'.C their Representatives in error, forgive them freely ami cordially, and nobly comc to their nid mill xiintmrf if i.vnr uul tl>?t i r \"> j \,v" ?"?>? :iid ami support ?gnin, nml sustain tlicm ovon though their judgment may bo that my colleagues ami myself were in error. No man, or set of men, representing more Independent or more generous and confiding constituencies than my colleagues and 1 do ; and I qui sure that, while most of uiy colleagues claim to be outside of the Democratic organization, they i can, with safety, coine to it und sunnort one whom their peers on this floor from tho grout ! States of tho South have almost unnmmoiuily I supported. I ask, sir, can wc not ac. and that consistently, when wo placo ouivelves side hy side with the Representatives of tho grc.-t Common wou 1th of V irglnia, and those of all the States south of us '( Wo have a Common interest; we are engaged in a common struggle against a common ebemy. Let us have union and harmony amongst ourselves, for the sake of the interests of all. 1 earnestly hope they will doit; and I repeat, that I am certain that jiot otio of us will ever ho nailed to account for it. I do not believe there aro a dozen men in my congressional district who will ever ask mo whv or ? . - v whovofore L voted for Mr. MeClernand, or Illinois, in opposition to the Dlack Republican candidate. The hitter is a gentleman whose private character, from all L evfcr heard of him, I hold in esteem, and for whom 1 have great roypeet. The first I ever heard of biiii was from a South Carolinian, a man in whom I have the utmost confidence. lJut the gcnlle] uiuu ''"om New .Jersey is united with those [ who.11 we consider the enemies of our country.

T hope my colleagues will rally to the resclie ; and if, as 1 have said, we go down, let us all go down together, and go down under thu ! folds of the Democratic banner, Under which we have been lighting together, most of our time, for more than eight long weeks. While they are outside of its organization, wc have ever acted with it where our judgment and coriKcieO^O enabled us to do so. 1 know of nothing iu the history of the gentleman from i Illinois that antagonizes with liiy judgment, I conscience, and duty now. I.know liftt what j his \ io\ys iivc on territorial sovereignty.

Mr. MeClernand and Col. Ashmore. The Charleston Mercury replies to our defence of CY>1. Aslnnore's vote for Mr. McClor naiut. it. docs not, however, touch the main point at issue. It does not givo one singlo 1 mite of evidence to sustain the charge of free8oi I ism, which it preferred against Mr. McClernand. That we regard as the main- point to be made and proven before it can justify its attack upon Col. Aslnnorc. JJut the Mercury, | in iUs reply, iuvolvea itself in another diiHcuII ty. It again makes an assertion, for which we are satisfied it has not one particle of evidence. The Mcrcu)ry asserts that the Southern Know Nothings would not have voted for ; Mr. McClcrnnnd, and that as they would not have voted for him, lie could not have been I fleeted, and that, consequently, there could ' have bccti nootlier object in bringing forward j his name, than to l'-n'e a Douglas .democrat voted for by Southern members. Now this assertion, though bojdly made and adopted ns it will be and lias boon by those who think the chief element of political soundness consists in a ready adoption of the inton 'ions which tho Manny gives to pul' ovents, is uot sustained by any eviden . t ho assertion is made in the ,ery face of the fact with which, os a public journal, it should have been ac (juiiiiir a, inuc many oi tnose " Know Aotliiugs" (fid vote, fur Mr. demand, nud that others announced their readiness to do so whenever nil the Democrats united upon him. The fact of their readincus to unite upon Mr. McOlornniul, when all the Domooruta voted for liim, was so well known, that Mr. Singleton,of Mississippi, when he east his vote for Mr. McClernnnu, gave for it tlived reasons.? First, tbftt lie had acted throughout with the I )cniocratie party ; second, that the issue was now between him and Mr. Pennington; and, to quote his langrtngo, " In the last place, 1 find that the Americans hold themselves ready to cast their vote? for Mr. McClernand, when over they can, by their votes, secure his election. '1 his, sir, places the responsibility of election upon the shoulders of the Democrats." Mr, Hardeman, one of theso Americans whom the Jilcrcurff asserts would not vote lor Mr. McClernand, said : " Not deeming it ileccs'ary to vote for him until his parly docn bo, I shall withold my *'ote; with this assurance, however, that, hitter as the pill may be, whenever my vote will elect him, I will give it." Mr. Leach, of North Carolina, another Amorioan, said : " 1 hoc with regret that there arc a number of distinguished gentlemen of the Democratic party, front different States, who lnive declined Votllic fur tho rri?nt.lftmnn (Vnin Illinois 1 stated, heretofore, that I would vote for r?ny man to defeat the Republican organisation.? I am willing now. to vote for the gentleman from Illinois, because 1 believe him to be a man of talent, and possessing the neccssary qualifications to discharge the duties of the Speakership ; but my vote would effect 110 result. Mr. Mallory, another American, said, " whenever I see that tho Democratic party lias concentrated its votes on their own candidate, L will feel myself bound by nij i jiicdges and by Hie conduct of the Democratic party to vote for that gentleman." Mr. Maynnrd, another* American, from Tennessee, said that as the gentleman from Illinois bad been "one of the most active, one of the most influential agencies," in trying to elect 'Mr, Smith, lie would vote for him ut biioe. Mr. Moore also said that, whenever the necessity of choosing bctwoon bllll mill < lf?V I'miliinirton to.io - " ...... .V>VW upon him, he would vote for the gentleman fit)in Illinois. Even Mr. Cliliner is .so indicated. Whnt authority can tho Mercury tlien find for it3 assertion, that the Americans would not have voted for Mr. MoClernand, even if the 011 tiro Democratic vote had been concentrated upon him ? No set of men could have more plainly indicated their roadine.?s to voto for tiTc Democratic nominee, whenever the Democrats united upon him. Nov* thtJn |ct the Jfcrctiri/, hy facts direct, sustain either ' its assortion that Mr. McClormiml is a frccsoiler, or that tho Americans refused- unconditionally to voto for him, and it will have fully vindicated itself, hut not until! then.

"lam not miserable, Thoophilus,'' said Mrfc. Tims; "1 am slightly indisposed, but I am I happy, quite happy, I assure you," and, as I she said this, the tears started to her eyes?
