Hill. Tho following is from a synopsis of tho ?pecoh of Hon. Ben. HiW, in Atlauta, on the 23d iuet : Mr. Hill came forward and was groctcd by continued cheering. He said he greeted a j r?-?lhotn with a j?y and glndnoss that no lan guage could express. The history of tho past yoar is ouo to mo full of rojoiotug. I fool that during that yoar tho white raco have shown moro horoism mid endurance than any other . peoplo havo over douo on tho battio flold. It is nothing now that a people should bo con quered, but there is something olso which is moro precious than your property, and which was sought to bo destroyed, and thut was your honor. A baod of foreigners claimed the right to a formation of a government instead tho govorunicnt which you had established, end thoy claimed tho right to destroy it. Of coureo nono but slaves could havo aoooded to tho domand ; nono but slaves should tboy bo tf thoy did so. I aftirui it boro to-day that there was not a single public man in Georgia who went for tho reconstruction sohome that wee not paid, and paid a high prieo. Thoy havo boon paid a part of it, and you will be inado to pay tho rest of it. I watohed the first eleotion?called an clootion for a Con , vontion, with interest. I was in Washington City and I felt proud when tho telegram brought tho welcome news that tho whito peo ple had kopt nway from Iho polls. 1 wont among some of tho most rospcotablo mon in * Washington, aud they woro surprised a?, the intelligence. Thoy said to mo, how is this ? Why your pooplo aro moro honorablo than wo gavo thom orodit for. Ah, my frionds, you aro poor?you woro botrayod?you woro threat ened. miserable threat. Proud peoplo, tho verdict that you gave was that thore was ?crois ni still left in the South. What was *ho appoal whon the Constitution was framed ?

Oh, you moan rascals to whom God gavo a whito skin Ina mista?o, /who sold yoursolvos for the privilogo of boing as good as a negro, how do you fool now after l?rty?rig mado your solves, ni^gors, and lost your roliof ?

I tell you now, aud I trust you will take it homo with you, that this stupid Express Agout is uot Governor. And you, genttomou, that think you arc mcmbors of the Legislature, poor deluded oroaturos, you agrocd that your Stato romain forovor an unoqual motubor of tho Union, and that Goorgia should no vor hava tho right to ohango her own Constitution. Ah, yo rouogrados. Ah, yo rogues that triod to stoul your neighbors' proporty, and oould not do it, aro you not oaught?oaught by Sumner and Stovcns and thoir miserable crowd. Oh, mother, toaoh it to your children, as you rock thorn in their oradlos; toll them that mon havo oonsentod that Goorgia should go back into tho Uniou as au unoqual Stato. Yes, you ronogades, you havo agreed to wear a Radiosi yoko iu order that you might voto yourselves eight dollars a day. You cowardly wrotohos, you havo agreed that that shall never bo changed But you arc so given to lying that you could not toll the truth. I thauk you to-day that in this barter you woro so oousidorato as to loavo such gcutlcmou as I am out of your infamous bargain. Ah, yc hypooritcs ! you have agrood to the degradation of your own race, aud you have agrood that that degrada tion shall bo permanent. That's where Grant stands, that's whoro Colfax stands ; that's where you, you vagabonds, stand. Where do wo stand '( Wo stand on the principio that tho white man shall at loaet be the equal of the nogro. I want to kuow how many whito men in Georgia will say, by their votes next November, that Goorgia is not equal to' Rhode Island. I am not afraid to speak. How muoh proporty do these Radioals rcproscnt in Georgia f Why thcro is but ouo of thorn that owns auythiug, and lie stole it. We arc not dishonored, proud spirits of our departed he roos; wo aro not dishonored yet. Tho vile tho corrupt, havo taken possos?ion of our high .places, but wo arc uot stripped of our houor. Thank God, we can niako Jaws for nur own homout.oaqo yet awhile, and! c?iargo you now, never to allow a singlo nativo reuegrado jto darken your doors. You scorn the orjuiiual and say ho shall uot soil your household.? Thoso miserable rouogadoa havo used cvory means to soil you and all you hold dear. A pcoplo who will uot resont such dishonor aro not worthy of freedom. The men who havo trampled upou tho rights of the people when liberty was annihilated shall roap some reward whou liberty is rosto red. Yo disbursing agents. Yo Constitution mr.kcra. Yo men that sprung with no bound from penitentia ries to make laws for the pcoplo. I sorvo you with notice that ovory oout you havo robbed you must pay back. Specoli of Gen. Hampton. Delivarctl al Ito.Democratic Demonstration, in Columbia, July 20, 1808. Qon. Wado Hampton, on being introduced, was greeted with immousc applauso. Indeed it was many minutes boforo tho nudiouoe oould bo sufficiently quiotod to permit him to spoak. Ho said ho had hoped that, after having listened to tho eloquent speakers who preceded him, they wonld not desire him to address them ; not only on that account, but booauso his voico was weak. There woro ma ny present who had frequently hoard him ad dress largor orowds, aud whou vory different kinds of noises than poaooful acclamations sa luted their oars; but to-night, for tho first timo iu his lifo, his voico had failed him.? General Korshaw had roferrod to tho udvanoo of tho oavalry in tho campaign of to-night; and ho dosirod to add, that though tho posi tion had boon invortod, ho was glad of it, and felt gr??t confidonoo after hearing tho olo quot.7 remarks of that distinguished Gonoral, as thoy mado him fool as seouro as in tho days of .other and moro sanguinary oampaigus. He always folt safo whon ho knew Kcrshaw was Op his flank. Ho proforrod to postpono any oxtond?u remarks to-night, as ho would havo an opportunity at an oariy day, and desired it, to lay boforo thorn tho history of tho Now York Couvontlon, and what part was tokon in it by our dologatton. [A voice in tho orowd ?" Novor put off for to-morrow what oan bo dono to day."] Gen. Hampton roooivod tho intorrupMon with 8roati ?ooc% humor, ftud 00Q tinuW? ?w romar-V*. s??" that whon tho South ern Statos WOfo invitod t? -tiko part in tho Now York Convention, ho wan ??o\??j of-tho opinion that thoy should ocoopt and shouM g? thoro and moot tho Northorn paoti faoo to faoo, ar.d toll thorn that thoy had surrondored in g.iod faith; and that whon thoy said thoy p?ntod poaoo thoy meant poaoo, justas whon they had said war, thoy had provon that, thoy moaut war.

And 'tita yosult had provon tho oorfcct?eee-offhie viows. Whon our dologatiou arrived in Now York thoy wore roc ?ved in all quartern and on all sidos in tho most hoarty mannor. Thoy woro urged to partioipato in all tho deliberations of tho Convoution, and woro consultod frcoly lu all matters of momont. Tho same roooption was given thctn by tho mombors of tho Sold iora and Sailors Convention, which was also iu session at that timo ; and such of its gal lant mombors as MoOlomand, of Illinois, said gallantly, that thoy desired to oxtond tho right hand of fellowship to tho mon whom thoy had boon lighting, aud who had now laid down their arms. To thorn ho had replied, that for hirasolf, his dologatiou and his pooplo at homo, ho aoccptod that hand iu good faith. [Cheers.] Now, if wo wish to eoo tho Stato rostorod to all its former prosperity, ho appealed to tho people to bury all past prcjudioos and pas sions in ono common gravo, and in solid mass, without regard to color, to rally around tho standard of tho Now York Convention. Ilo spoke to tho blaok man as woll as tho whito, for ho boliovod as firmly that tho interests of) tho two were inseparably bound up in a com mon oauec, as ho boliovod that God ruled ovor tho destinies of tho people If thoy at tempted to draw a lino of demarcation and array thomsclvos against tho whites, thoy would bo pressed from tho soil sud enduro tho fate of tho Indian. To prevent a result liko this?ono whioh ho truly dopreoatcd?ho had boon tho first mnn iu South Carolina to spoak to them aud adviso thorn as to thoir true pol icy, and thoy know that ho would not decoivo them. [A colored man?"That's so?Uod bless you."] When Bovon yoara ago tho State had oallod upon him to servo hor in tho field, ho had obeyed that manduto and cheerfully givon all that ho possessed for hor dofouoc ; and whon,. after tho war, she bade him lay down Iiis arms, with equal submission he had obeyed and shcathod a sword whioh ho truatod boro uo lu. L ..f . .~^~* ?? !.?..?. {?i Iva of UO f no !) Since then, ho had adjurod tho pcoplo to oultivato tho arts of peaco aud conciliation, and especially had ho earnestly recommended the colored pooplo to livo in friendship and good will, with thoso on whom thoy would have to dopend, in largo measures, for advioo aud support. Uufortunatoly, things had taken a different turn than that hoped for by tho supporters of truth, justioo and tho Constitution ; and now tho spectacle presented in the hulls of legisla tion by thoso who undcrtako to govern tho dostinies of tho two races, was lamcntnblo iu doed. As anxious ns ho was to scettro pcaoo and proepority, lie ncvor oould consent to at tempt it on so falso, gross and outrageous a platform as that of tho llooonstruotion Acts ; particularly whon ho saw the soata of llnyno, McDulfto and Calhoun in tho Senato of tho United Statos fill od by such men as Sawyor and ronogado Tom Robertson. (Hisses and groans for Tom Robertson.) Much rather would ho havo noon oolorod mon rcprosent South Carolina, as thoy oould do so with moro justifiable prido and honesty. Ho wanted restoration on tho basis of truth, harmony and juatioo, and ho firmly boliovod wo would havo it in Novomber, by tho triumph of tho Dcmocratio party. Ho had been told by no loss distinguished a person than Vallan digham, that Ohio was oortain for Seymour, and shrewd politioal thinkors of New York and Pennsylvani?i woro equally oonlldont as to tho samo result in thoso Statos. Tho peo-, pio woro thoroughly arousod, and in Novom bor tho result of it would bo moro rapid trav eling of oarpot-baggore from tho South, than was over boforo known iu tho history of this country. Ilo oonoludod by roforring to tho d?mon stration rnado by tho Domooraoy of Oharioe ton, last uight ; and said that although ho had scon many similar displays at tho North, ho had nevor witnessed moro graudcur and enthusiasm than that exhibit I by tho good pooplo of tho old oity by tho eoa, who had t rn?d out?-mou, womon aud ohildron?to givo thoir approving amilo* to tho noblo oauso. Thoy had brought exulting prido to his heart, by this manifestation of tho old Carolina spir it. Thoy may havo boon slow, but they woro euro.

But with a smaller, yet far moro dangerous class of politicians, tho sole aim for tho la3t thrco yoara has boon tho per p?tration of llopublioan lulo, through tho nogtocs of tho South. To this basest of mo tivo? aud purposes tho publia good and tho paooioatiou of tho country have been steadily saorViood ; and worse, yet constitutional limi tations altogether disregarded.

New York, August. 5.?Seymour has writ ton a letter formally aoocpting tho nomination by tho D?mocratie Convoutiou. He snys it was unsought and unexpected, but ho was caught up by the overwhelming tido whioh is boating tbo country on to a great political change, and ho finds himself unablo to resist its pressure. The resolutions adopted by tho Convention acoord with bis viows. Ho de layed a formal acooptauoo until tho adjourn mont of Congress, for tho purpose of sooing what light tbo action of Congroes would throw upon tho interests of tbo country. Tho Con gressional party not only allied itsolf with tho nrntta?y power vrhloU is to be brought to bear directly upon the oleotions in many of tho States, but holds itself in perpetual session with tho avowed purpose of making suoh laws as it shall soo fit, in viow of tho election soon to take placo. Novor boforo has Congress ta ken a mcnaoing attitude towards ole >tions.? Uudcr tho infiuonoo of Congress, somo of tho States aro proposing to deprivo tho citizens of the right to voto for Prosidontial olcotors; thoroby tho first bold stop has boon taken to dostroy the right of suffrago. Ho refers to tho demands of the tax-gatherers. Says men aro admitted representatives of somo of tho Southern States with declarations upon their lips that they cannot livo iu tho States thoy claim to represent, without military protec tion. They owe their scats to tho disorder at the South ; and that, vory faot prompts them to koop it in anarchy. Iu vain, tho wisest Republicans protest against this policy. There is hardly an able man who helped to build tho Republican organization, who Las not, within tho past throo years, warned it against oxoessos, '/hilo many have bcon driven from ite ranke. Porsonal?y, tho Prosidontial oflioo has n? attractions for him. During tho war ho had given 16,000 commissions to officers of the army, and knew they demanded the Union for whioh thoy fought. Tho largest meeting of thoso gallant soldiors ovovhold on dorsad tho action of tho Convention. He does not doubt that thoro will be a triumph whioh will bring back penco and prosperity to our land, and givo onoo moro tho blessings of wise, ooonoraioal and honest govornuiont. A Good Appointment Among the nominations sent to tho Sonato on tho last day of tho session, and not anted upon for tho want of timo, was that of tho Honorablo William Aikon, formorly a distin guished mombor of Congress from South Car. olina, as Oollootor of tho Port of Charleston, in plaoc of A. G. Maokcy. As Mr. Maokoy has devoted the time for whioh ho has receiv ed pay as a public officer to tho business of organizing a negro govornmont, of prosiding OVCr negro conventions, of directing partisan politics and of seeking a seat in tho Sonato, wo take it for grunted that suoh culpable nogket and delimit, disregard of of?oiai duty will no longor bo tol ora tod to tho eoandal and injury of tho public servioo. Although Congress has sd?ght by ovory possible contrivance to protect its partisans in office, howovor delinquent or coiw.pt thoy may bo, there is still a romody for. suoh fla grant oases of abuso as this iu the suspension of tho offending officer, Whioh, it is to be pro ?umcd, wilt bo appliod without hosjt?*ton i?1 ovory^ instanoo that may bo brought to tho ?

It ft^pom that oyen ihc negroes of South Carolina, althongn et> touch1 oourted uiul ca jolod by hita, havo ropudintod the ambitious aspirations of thoir self-appointed ohampiou, and prcforrod to bestow their confidence on a strangor, who, in profossing less probably commanded more respoot. Tho maxim whioli Tallyrand .applied to diplomaoy is equally'1 truo in polities, "Abovo all things, not .too muoh real." ^ White is the Word. Whilo tho niggers aro raising such a do cidod rumpus, with thoassistauoo of miscege nation allies, and clamoring for a hand in tho govornmont, and boforo tho chains aro too 80 ouroly bound about tho people, let us look at something : White mon woro thoso who discovered An io rie a. White mou woro thoso who found colonico in America. White mon were tho30 who throw tho British toa into Boston Harbor. White men woro thoso who first disputed tho rights of Goorgo III to rule America. White mon wore thoso who promulgated tho Declaration of Independence. Whito men woro thoso who fought so suc cessfully tho battle of Amoric. a rovoluiion. White men wcro thoso who founded tho government of tho United States. White men woro those for whose bouofit that government was established. Whito mou woro thoso who originated tho Constitution of tho United States. White men wcro oleotod by a freo pcoploto administer the government for tho benefit of tho governed. . . - v. White men wcro thoso who brought tho American flag to bo rospectod everywhere, as an emblem of power abroad and protection at home. White men woro thoso who handlod tho government for fifty years and made ours BUC?1 a prosperous Republic. The Pnrltaniool ancestors of luassaoliu sctts miscogonatiouists wero those 1 who first introduced and trafficked in'Afrioan slavoj$. They conduct cd tho business as long as it was profitable, thsn abandoned it. White men aro thoso who oompriso tho earnest, true men of tho country ; who con tribute to its woalth, who push into tho Wes tern wilds to sottie it, and white mon should now bo permitted to onjoy tho fruits of whito' labor. Whito is tho word for Americans, and Pu ritans, and Ablitioniets, Loyalists, and Hum pites, cannot displace it for another. Gen.
