The following is Alr. 'Tilden's letter in full: GIIAYsTON, October 6, 1881. Mi. Chair-man and Gentlemen of the Committee: I thank you for the'kind terts in which you comlittnicated the i resolution concerning me, adopted by I the late Democratic National Conven tion. I share your conviction that I reform in the Administration of the ( Federal Government - which is our great national want, and is Indeed es- I sential to the restoration and preserva tion of government itself'-ean only be tchieved through the agency of' the Democratic party, and by installing its representative in the Chief' Magistruer of the United States. The noble his torical traditions of the Democratic party, the principles in which it was educated and to which it has been in the main faithful; its freedtom frot corrupt influences-wlich grow 1p ini prolonged posaession of power-anld I the nature of elements which con.t i- 1 tute it-all contraibutte to qualifv it totr that mission. The oppo)silt cla'ractcr istics and conditions which attaclh to 1 the Republican party make it hopeless to oxpect that that party will be able I to give it better governmet 11innt the debasing system of abuses which, lr ing its aenidenc, has infected oflicial a and political life in this countery. The Democratic patrty had its ori.rin r i the efforts of the more advancedl c patriots of the govertinment frotm tle lI ILeal contetpliated by the people.

C., October 7.-The address of the Rep)blican State Exec utive Commtittee, signed by Brayt.on, Chairman, has just beent given to the bres. It contains very little more than fle usual stereotyped -ni1isipre setttations of the Democratic party. All nanner of "charges" against the Dem.. ocracy are mado and every eti'ort is put forth to urousu the colored voters. T1'ht addrese declares that the Republi cas of South Carolina enter the cam. paign of 1881 with tnabroken ranks. "Ih spite of the mlalignait conduct of thejr adversaries in this Sta.u they stand together united and deteriniul to do thei utmost to defeat at home the organization which, having stolen power ii !876, has by iisrule, injus tice and oppression failed to stifle the cotivictions or silence the protlest of those people who, through compul ionl, yielded to a minority of more thiin 30,000." 'T'he address declares that the only reason that Itopublicans have not resorted to other incanis than the ballot to recover possession ofthe ('rovarunteut, is because "any such efl'orts us was necessarv to obtain our rights and right our wrongs would re sult ink conflicts an'1 conse<luences so disastrous aid unequal that we could not do olhlerwise." Surprise i3 ex pressed Ihat the ''loyal people of the cottntry' are so ie1(11freent to the poor iieek, -ion sullerinig South Carolina I epublicanis. "WVe hail With satisfac tion the bright prospects of IReplbli canl success in those portions of the country where (lie ballot is free, (lie coutnt is honest and intimidation does not prevail, niid feel thankful to God thiit the intalign rule of the solid Sontlh is not to be extended." Congress is called upon to eiact siich laws "as we are confident, Presi. dent Mlaine wvill recomniicid to over" cocvin he I ravesty oil free, popular gov erinient at the Sioutl,'' and the address goes on to say", 'if' theie be not the constititioinal powcr to legislate so as to give all citizens equal rights in State elect ios, then wedemand that inl Fed eral elections the registration, as well as the iu:tm,einienrt of the election shall he ninler tle snpervision of the genei'al Govet"ntent.'' Then folIo vs a long attatck onit the registration ancid election laws of the State, and an at tempt is iauule to prove that these laws were ma:ede solely to keep Republicans tromi exercising their rights as citi zen, anid the claim is mnade to prove that these laws disfranchise 30,000 Itepul icans. The laws are declared to be miconsltit.utiolal, and the Gov ernmncut is asked to test the (Iiestion i ll the % "urts. The assertion is made that on ae co0uit 01 its uinaagement of public. aliirs the '')enocrats ilul thenselves brought, to ia reckofing anid ntumeri cally weaker to-day, after nearly v eight .ve:i s of power, than they were in 1876 for, 1esides utter filure to break the solid I epublieani phalinx, their party has beeni rednced by the withdrawal of a latre nuiher of ten who fe'el b1e tinredt and are di gusted with the per tidy, intoleraice and nisrulc of those who, with power to do so much for the whole people, have proven false and incompetent ald becoue thorongh ly b)otnbizedli2l.''
