Address lo the People of the United Btutos. (CONCLU imo.) contingencies aud by whutcvor menus may bo required, it.. houor and its welfare. Thoso would, iii our judgiuout, bo full and conclusivo answers to tho plea thus ndvancod For tho exclusion of thoso States from tho Union. But we say further, that this ploa rusts upon a oompleto misapprehension or au uujust perversion of existing facts. Wo do not hesitate to nf??rm that there is no .section of thc country whero tho Constitution and laws of tho United States find u moro prompt aud entire obedienoo than in those States aud among those peoplo who wore lately in arms agaiust them, or whore there is less purpose or danger of any future attempt to overthrow thoir authority. It would seem to bo both natural and inev itable that, in Stales or sections so recently swept by tho whirlwind of war, whore all tho ordinary modes and methods of organized in dustry havo boon broken up, and tho bonds and influences that guarantee sociul order have been destroyod, where thousands and tens of thousands of our turbulent spirits have boen .suddenly loosed, from tho d?tio?pliiin nf war. and thrown, without resources of restraint ?apon a disorganized and ohaotio society, and whore tho keen sense of defeat is added to thc overthrow of ambition and hope, scones of vi olouoe should defy, for a time, thc imperfect disciplino of law, and excito anew the fears and forebodings of thc patriotic and well dis posed. It is unquestionably true that local disturbances of this kind, accompanied by moro or less of violence, do still ocour, but thoy aro confined entirely to the cities and larger towus of tho Southern States, whore different races and interests aro brought more closely in contact, and where passions und re sentments arc always most easily fed and tanned into outbreak. And oven there they aro quito as much the fruit of untimely and hurtful political agitation as of any hostility on the part of thc people to thc authority ol tho National Government. But tho concurrent testimony of thoso host ncquuintcd with thc condition of society aud tho state of public sentiment in tho South, in cluding that of its representatives in this Con vcutiou, establishes thc fact that thc great mass of tho Southern people accept, with as full aud sincero submission us do the people ol tho other States, tho ro-ostublisbcd supremacy of thc national authority, uud arc prepared, ii: tho most loyal spirit, and with a zeal quick oned aliko by their iutorcst and thoir pride, to co operate with other States and sections it whatever may be necessary to defend thc rights malu (alb the honor, and promote the wolfart of our oommou country. History affords no instance whore a pcoph BO powerful in numbers, in resources, and it public spirit, nftcr u war so long iu its dura -_tio?, 80 destructive in its progress, and so nd verso in its isauo, havo aoooptod d?font and iti oousequonces with so tn it ch of faith os hai marked tho conduct of th<; people lately in in aurrcotion against tho United States. Bcyom all question, this has boon largely duo to tin wise generosity with which their enforced sur render was accepted by thc President of tin United States ard thc generals in imm?diat* command of their armies, and to tho libera measures which woro afterwards taken to rc etorc order, tranquility and law to the States whore all hud for tho time boen overthrown No stops could have been better calculated ti command tho respect, win thc coulidencc, rc vivo thc patriotism aud secure thc pcrmancn and affectionate allegiance of tho peoplo of tin ?South to tho Constitution and laws of tin Union, than those which have boen so firmh takon nud so steadfastly pursued by the Pres ident of tho United States. And if that confidence and loyalty hav bcou sinco impaired-if the peoplo of tb South nro to-day loss cordial in their ullegi ance than thoy were immediately upon th closo of thc war-wo believe it is due to tin changed tone of thc legislative department o tho General Government towards them ; t> tho action by which Congress bas cndenvorci to supplant and defeat the President's wis aud beneficent, policy of restoration ; to thoi exclusion from all participation in our com tuon Government ; to the withdrawal fron thom of rights conferred and guaranteed b tho Constitution, and to tho evident purpos of Cong ress, tu thc oxcrcisc of a usurped air unlawful authority, to rcduco thom from th rank of freo and crjual uioivibera of n Rc.publi of States, with rights and dignities unim paired, to tho condition of conquered provir ces and a oonquorcd people-in all things sut ordinate and subject to the will of their coi qunrors-freo only to obey laws, iu makin which they aro not allowed to share. No pooplo has over yet existed whose loya ty and faith such treatment, long continuel would not alienate nud impair, and the to millions of Americans who livo in tho Soul would bo unworthy citizens of a free country dogonerato sons, of an heroic ancestry, uni ever to become guardians nf tho rights nu liberties bequeathed to us by tho fathers an founders of this ropublic, if they could a copt, with uncomplaining submission, the In ruination thus sought to be imposed upc thom. Resentment of injustioc is always HU everywhere essential to freedom ; and tl apirit whioh prompts tho States and poop lately in insurrection, but insurgents now t longer, to protcot against tho imposition i unjust und degrading conditions, makes thc all tho more worthy to share in tho govcr mont of a froo commonwealth, and gives sti firmer assuranoo of tho future ?tower aud fro dom of tho Republic. For whatever responsibility tho Southoi peoplo may havo inourred in resisting the a thorny of tho National Government, and taking up arms for its ovorthrow, thoy may I hold to answer as individuals before tho j dloial tribunals of thc land ; and for that'eo duct; as societies aud orgnuizod community 'd* ?

But whatever may bo tho guilt or tho pun i.shment of tho conscious authors of thc insur rection, candor and commun justice domaut tho concession that tho great mass of thos< who become involved in its responsibility nctoti upon what they bcliovcd to. bo their duty, ii defence of what they had been tuught to bc Hove their rights, or under a compulsion physical and moral, which they were powcrles: ! to resist. Nor can it bo amiss to romombcr that, ter rible as havo boen the bereavement** mid tin losses of this war, they have fallen exclusivo!; upon neither section, una upon neither party that they havo f?llen with a far greater wt igh upon those with whom thc war begun. Tba in tho death of relatives and friend?, the dis porsion of families, thu disruption of social ays I terns and social tics ; overthrow of Govern I incuts, of law, and of property, and of order tho destruction of property, aud of forms, an modes, and menue of industry ; the loss of pr littoul, commercial, And moral influence, i every shape and form which great cnlumitic can assume, thc States und people which cr gaged in tho war against tho Government c tho United Stales have suffered ten-fold mot1 than those who remained in allegiance to th Constitution und laws. Those considerations tony not, as they ce tainly do not, justify thc notion of the pcopl of tho insurgent States; but no just or gei erous mimi will refuse to them very confide j able woight in determining thc linc of coi ! duct which thc Government of tho Unite j States should pursue towards them. Thc ; accept, if not with alacrity, certainly withoi j Hullen resentment, tho defeat and ovcrthio j they havo sustained. They acknowledge nu acquiesce in thc result, to themselves mid tl country, which that defeat involves. They i ' mger claim for any Stato the right to BCcct ?tona the Union. They no longer nsscrt fl any State an allegiance paramount to th which is duo to tho General Govcrninont. Thcy havo accepted the destruction of slav ry, abolished it by their Stato Constitutio aud concurred with thc States and people thc whole Union in prohibiting its existen i forever up< n tho soil or withiu the jurisdictii of the United States. They indicate ai evince their purpose just so fast as may bo pt slide uud sufc to adapt their domestic laws tho changed condition of their society, and secure by thc law and its tribunals equal ni impartial justice tu all classes of their ?nba tauts. They admit thc invalidity of all ac of resistance tu thc nut ional authority, and all debts incurred in attempting its evcrtbro They avow their willingness to share thc bi dons and dischnrgo ull tho dutic* und oldie tiona which rest upon them in common wt other States and other sections of thu Unie and they renew, through their repr?sentatif in this Convention, hy nil their publi? cc duct in every wny, and by thc most solon nets by which States and societies cuu plod j their faith, their engagement to bear tr j faith and allegiance, through nil time tu oun i to tho Constitution of thc United States, a I tu all laws that may bc made in pursuau thereof. Fellow-countrymen, wo call upon you, full rcliauce upon your intelligence and put otism, to accept with generous and ungrui I ing confidence tl*;.- full surrender on thc pi of those lately in arms against your authori nt\\\. to share with them thc honor and reno' that awaits those who bring back peace o concord to jarring States. The war just closed-with nil its porro and disasters-has opened n new career glory to thc nation it has saved, lt has swi away the hostilities of sentiment and of in rest which were a standing mounce tu its pen It has destroyed the institution of slavery always a cause of sectional Agitation and Mr -nnd has opened to our country the way unity of interest, of principio nnd of uctit through all time to come.

And while it has thus revealed, i ciplincd and compacted our power, it 1 proved to us, beyond controversy or doubt, thc course pursued towards both oontendi sections by foreign powers, that wc must the guardians of our own independence, a that tho principles of republican freedom represent cnn find among thc nations of t earth no friends ur defenders but ourselves We call upon you, therefore, by every ci sideration .af yourowti dignity and safety, u in the nnmo of liberty throughout tho wor to complete thc work of restoration and pei whioh thc President of tho United States 1 so well bogun, and which policy aduptcd s I thc principles asserted by tho present Cungr aluno obstruct. Tho time is close at hu i when members of a new Congress uro to elected. If that Congress shall pcrpctu this policy, and by excluding loyal States? peoplo from representation in its hnlls, si continuo tho usurpation by which thc logii tive powers of tho Government aro uow os ciscd, common prudence compels us to ant pate nugmontcd discontent, a sullen withdn al from thc duties and obligations of thc F eral Government; internal dissensions an general collision of sentiments and pr?tons! which may roncw, in a still moro foarful sha the civil war from which wo huvo just on ged.

When this shall have been done, the Gov ernment will hoyo boon restored to its integ rity.

Complainants and. all others not citizens o } South Carolina who arc creditors of the Hanl of Charleston. [ Thc Hill alleges that the Hank of Charier to?? was incorporated with a capital of two mil lion dollars, with leave to increase the sam two millions more, and afterwards modified b |. an Act ratified ou the 20th December, 18;")5J t to bo continued until the year 1877.

Tho Hank suspende : payment of gold and silver on said notes n??

The Hill further anya that the purpof of South Carolina in granting thc (barter wf to furnish to the citizens of the State its pron Usury notes and bills of credit in tho natu? of a ciiouhtting medium, and its certificate for fund? dopouUod uro tho representatives'( ' gold sud silver current coin, and that tho a< complishmont of this policy and public pu pose constituted thc trust and condition of tl oharter; that the Hunk having failed to r docin its promises, the assets are in thc ham of the officers und directors ns a trust fund, j Various other allegations are made of bronc of charter, and that the officers have continue to keep up the semblance of a banking corp ration. It is further alleged that they oxton to the stockholders information ns to tho cot dition of their assets, which they carefully c: elude from thc complainants. It is further alleged that these parties ho what remained of the assets, consisting of co to the value of thirty thousand dol?ais, re estate, notes, bonds, stock and domestic ni foreign exchange, to thc value of seven hu . drcd thousand dollars, which assets, it is r leged, arc withheld from thc creditors, and a plied to tho uses of the stockholders. Another allegation in the Hill is, that tl stockholders nt the date of the failure, at those wdio were so within twelve months pri thereto, are liable to the creditors, by tho pr visions of thc charter, for a sum not ex ceo lng twice the amount of their shares. Tl Hill alleges that many of the Sfoekholdc have transferred their shares to irrcsponsib persons, and hope, through such transfer, escape liability. Tho HUI craves relief, ni HIHO the appointment of receivers, ulso to mal thc stock hoblers liable. As this is n matter of great public int?r?t we propose publishing a copy of the Bill. Gotcrnor Orr has convened a special meet ii of tho Legislature, and it may bc importa that that body should take action on the sn jeet. lt is believed by our ablest lawyers th the olausc of the ohnrtcr making stoekholdc liable is a penalty, and docs not create liabi ty to creditors. For tho support of this po tion thc fact is relied upon that thc chm ubovo id!uded to docs not say expressly whom thc stockholders arc liable in ouse failure. At the last session of thc Legislature a H for thc relief of stockholders was brought fi ward in tho Sennto by Hoary Buist, was then thought by tho stockholders t Hill would have boon passed, and ought have been passed, as it was evidently thc c sign of the Act of Incorporation to mnke stoc holders liable only in case of improper condt on tho part of the directors. If thc Legislature docs not interfere and peal the penalty, or tho Court should < cidc that thc clause is not a penalty, but 1 ihc nature of a contract with billholdora a depositors, thc chango of property con sci j ut in either of such eases wilt bo suoh as to volve in ruin those who have saved some re nant of property from tho devastation of t civil war and convulsion through which t Stato has passed since. 1800.

Our Charleston exchanges aro oonunontiug with severe and perhaps deserved oensuro up ou the exhorbitnnt olmrgcs, and impolitic dis ! oritninations against our own citizens, which ? aro alleged to characterize tho management of our railroads. Tho effect of this courso is I to divert trade and capital from our own bor ! dors, and to build up rivul cities and diverse iutorest. Tho policy is as short sighted and impolitic as it is unjust and unpatriotic ; since tts necessary and legitimate result is to curtail the future business and profits of these ron ls. -" They cannot afford to do a small business," as a writer well remarks. Their investments aro too large, and their expenses too heavy, to be sustained except by tl larne and profitable trade. And to attract this business, and to in crease and to sustain it, nnculargcd and liber al policy must bo adopted. Thc Charboon News charges upon the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, that du i iiiu I'IC )> " t yo?v, >'-i oxU\>viV.tt"?<t ?-.?loo linvr driven thousands nf bales of cotton to the Savannah river, sud that tarup, ns it is " nav igable for tl raft or a fiat. South Carolina cot ton has followed its circuitous course to Au gusta," und that for similar reasons,*consign ments of grain are delayed in Columbia, whilst corn is selling in the upper Districts OM the line of the road nt S'2.5D per bushel. Similar charges are made against thc North Kastern Railroad ; and the consequence as nnnounccd, is, that whilst the depots at Savannah and Wi)migtOtt are crowded with freights, the South^?arolina roads have been forced to make a sweeping reduction in their expenses by the discharge of clerks and operatives. We do not know io what extent, the state ments of the following extract from nu article in tho " Charleston Courier," arc true, but this we know that herc public and private iu torest nrc so intimately connected, that tu railroad can long sustain itself, by unjust nod odious discrinii^tatious. nod by exorbitant charges at thc expent-e of tho communities in which it is located, and upon which it is dc pendant for its business nnd profits. " Is it just that a railroad should discriminait in its rates of freight against thc milsons ol its own State nnd in favor of thuse of annth er State? This, wo arc told, is tho dail> practice of lenet three of the railroads with in the limits of South Carolina. Indeed, tin South Cnrolinn Railroad has always acted up on this principio, by chari;cing more fnegh upon cotton and merchandize from Columbi) to Charleston than upon tho same article: from Augusta to Charleston. Tho Churlotb and Columbia Railroad, which tins only 1G o its 109 miles iu North Carolina, is notorious ly managed so ns to discriminate by oombton tiens with the North Carolina railroads nm Norfolk steamers against Columbia and Chat teston. Again : the Wilmington and Mon chester Railroad charges nearly as much fu thc transportation of freight from Sumter t KloroncC, ns it does for the same freight fron Sumter to Wilmington, more than twice th< distance. Now, as these two ronds-the Chm lotte nod Columbia and Wilmington and Mar chester-aro controlled mainly by North Cai ol i M i M ns, we have little hope that rcmonstrnti ces will avail nught in securing ti fair and itu partial administration of their dealings wit thc general public. Wc must look for a ron edy to our Legislature. Let a general law b passed, prohibiting, under tho soverest pemr tics, any discrimination whatever on tho pal of i ail road companies, in favor of individual: other railroads or steamboat companies. Still tites of this character have boen enacted i several of tho Northern States, and have give general satisfaction. Tho State, beyond a doubt, has the right, and wc believe it to I nlikc its duty and true policy, to enact such law. Apart from this question, thc schedule < ? freight rutes now in force on sollie of our rai j mads is a matter too intimately connected wit the prosperity of Charleston to bc ovcrlookc by our citizens. It is justly complained tin there is no good reason why thu freight o cotton should be treble what it was before th war. Then it was 81 per bale from Columbi to Charleston ; now it is 83 per bale, lt ii of course, right that fifty per cent, should I added to tho old rates, on the Boorc of a depr< ointed currcnoy-and perhaps fifty cents mot per bale might bo allowed for extra insuri.nt on the inn cased value of cotton ; so that 8 per halo ought certainly to bc thc limit i freight, upon cotton from Columbia to Charlo ton. Tho labor nnd materials required to kee up a railroad aro certainly not more than fifi per cent, higher now than they were bcfoi tho wur. Sow TURNIPS.-Wo find tho followin good advice in an exchange: Tho search of grain thia winter will evidently he grca as a result of the great drought this summe This may bo remedied in part, if each fa mor will sow several acres of his best land i turnips. They make excellent food for stool and will furnish substance to a largo class < porsons who may not bo able to obtain otb food. Don't neglect this. Tho matter is in portant enough to claim thc immediate attc tion of evory farmer. Kivc hundred bushc of turnips fed to stock are equal to threo hu dred and fifty bushels of corn. Out down tl withered oom stalks, manure carefully.'ai sow ruta bagas. Tho yield will provide amp for tho doficicucy in grain, if carefully ma aged. Try it, and upon our word you will 1 repaid for your labor. A BACH KI,OK boarder in a house at Toled Ohio, overheard, thc servant girl Mary say si had dreamed that No. 080i would draw ti 810,000 prize in one of thc Chicago gift co corna.
