I desire t?ose men immediately in
front.of me to understand that they
must either keep order or be pat out
. of this meeting.. I am not here to be
bo, I lied, and whatever thc results may
be, I intend to speak aod be heard.
.[Great applause and eries of "That's
I? Let us for a moment examine th?
condition of South Carolina when Gen?
eral Scott assumod the control of the
State. A devastating war had exhaus?
ted the resources of ar, gallant a people
" as ever bore arms. For three years or
more t!iey struggled bard?lo obtain
bread, with scarcely the mease to gath?
er-their crops, aud fatality attending
. all of their exertions. Misfortuno cov?
ered the impoverished State like a pall.
Under theso oiroutustnuses what did
Governor Scott do ? Instead of econo?
mizing the resources of the State so
that its burdens should rest but lightly
upon tho people, you will tiud, by the
report of bis own comptroller-general,
that, without any good reason whatever
ho added to the then existing public
debt ot tho Stuto the enormous sum of
eight million dollaT. Where, fellow,
citizens, did this money come from 1*
lt came from tho luboring classes. It
came from you, every hour of whose
labor is divided between the support
you owe your families and the work
you unconsciously perform for the pub?
lic. Every ship that sails upon tho
ocean ; every rail road in the country ;
every edifico that rears its head iu town
or city; the property on whioh the
wealth of a community is embraced, is,
more or less, the product of human la?
bor. And yet, these men who pretend
to love the colored man, to be the es
Jieoiul friend of the white working mao,
oad the results of his industry with a
debt of $8,000,000, and ask them to
sustain an administration that is written
all over with inconsistency and extrava?
gance.
I honor the poor luboring man who
works day by day, iu a hard struggle
with fate, to supply the wants of his
family, and I tell you, my countrymen,
that if Christianity is not a fable, the
angels of God look down with a smile
upon him who dedicates his services to
Ins wifo, who is queen, and to his chil?
dren, who are his subjects. But I de?
sire to see that pour mun protected and
when a body of rapacious officials use
the power which citcumstunces have
put in their bauds to benefit themselves
at his cost, I, for oue, feel like stepping
to the frout aud using whatever poor
ability I may possess, to thc end their
wrongs may be righted. Aud thoy may
feel they have at least one champion
who dares speak the truth. [Applause.]
Eight millions of additional debt;
That is the first count in the indict?
ment.
A Voice. Tull us more about the
bribery !
Judge Carpenter. Well, gentlemen,
by the charges of their own organ
against me, if those charges are to be
belioved, not an important bill passed
tho Legislature without bribery. The
State Treasurer, with the connivance of
other Statu officers, went to New York
and pawned the bonds of South Curo
lita to obtain the money with whioh to
bribe the General Assembly, and the
State Treasu-er telegraphed back, under
an assumed oa*e, that he had got the
funds. Who po.j i'or a|i thaJ& The

A Voice. Are jou opposed to the

Jodge Carpenter. I.wee a soldier io
war aod oot a soldier io peace. [Great
applause.] When the people of South
Carolina were oppressed by ?normoo?
debt aod taxation, to take 9$0,OOO for
the purpose of organizing the militia,
was ao outrage upon the State. There
was oo oeed of it, for there was oo trou?
ble io the country save that whioh this
oorrupt Biog and their assoeiate thieves
were inciting. The truth is, I im?
agine his-fiaoelleooy is a great deal
more food of talking about. Wiooh ester
rifles thao of using them. Let me say
right here, however, that if the Biog
eau wio this election by fair amos they
shall have the offices. But I deolare,
before High Heaven, that Wioohester
rifles shall not carry the day. (Cheers.)
Two parties can play at that game.
(Renewed cheering.) Nor shall they
wio tho election by stuffing the ballot
boxes wheo the voting is done. (Tre?
mendous applause.)
Governor Scott, too, has done his
best, to aotagouize tho two races and
disturb that harmony io whioh the peo?
ple hud lived. This U s point upoo
which I coed oot dwell, for all who
hear me are per feet ly aware of the char
actor of tho relations which it is impor?
tant to preserve between the white and
colored citizens of the State.
A Voioe. What is the difference
between the Union Reform party and
the old Democratic party of South Caro
lina?
(At this juncture thore was another
attempt at interruption, whereupon this
obuirman, Mr. U'Conuor, said : "L ask
my friends, io justice to themselves and
to the oity io which they live, to uiain
laiu order. As the Chairman of tho
meeting, it is necessary for me to sus?
tain its character. I intend to do so.
And if it cannot be doue in any other
way, I will call for a committeo ot five
hundred meu." (Longapplause.)
Judge Carpenter. The Democratic
party io the past bad UH own principies.
Whatever they were, they join hands to?
day with all honest Republicans ; not
upou a political issue, but for the pur?
pose of effecting a reform io the Govern?
ment of thc State. Neman becomes a
Republican by voting for me, although
I am a Republican ; aud no mao becomes
a Democrat becuuse he votes for my
gallant and noble colleague, General
Butler. This is my answer to the ques?
tion. (Applause.)
lu conclusion, allow me to say, briefly,
that I ioteud to carry this campaign to
?ho bitter end. I war with dishonesty,
treachery, corruption and falsehood, io
behalf of integrity, honesty, patriotism
and virtue. I shall not ba moved by
personal a6sults, nor by the threats ot
assassination that have bees made, if I
do oot stop deoouncing this corrupt
Ring. If Heaven will let them, they
muy assassinate, but I shall oot, until
theo, oease the work upoo whioh I have
entered in behalf of the people. [Loud
oheers.] Wo have just passed through a
desolating war, in which the American
soldier, wherever he fought, roared a
monument of fame that will bo as eu- '
during as civilization itself. Aod by
that noble aod patriotic heroism that
stimulated us iu days gone by, let us
ouoo move engage iu a labor, the object
of whioh is the regeneration of a people.
The chances are all in our favor. The
influences against us arc many. The
carpet bagger who has come here to fill
his Aurse is against us; all of the three
huijBed th?eves and robbers pardoned
ou?*?lhe penitentiary that they might
bof?fime voters are against us; all who
aiTT.'in the penitentiary aro against us;
ailfy who ought to go to the penitentiary

NECESSITY FOR KKFOK.H.
Tho speeoh of Judge CARPENTER
before the Charleston Maas Meeting, on
the 20th met., and contained in oui
present issue, wilt exhibit to our readers
something of the necessity for reform
which exists io our State Government
something of the motive power of th?.
Reform movement.
Judge CARPENTER dearly puts forth
the faot, as has frequently been declared
that the movement is not political, bul
has been inaugurated for the pur?
pose of reforming the shocking corrup?
tions of the State Government-a move
ment in which every honest. man maj
engage, without saorifioe of principle
for the improvement of the condition ol
J his unfortunate oountry. This being
the purpose, he oorreotly says that voting
for him makes no man a Republican
whilst voting for Gem. BUTLER makes n<
man a Demoorat. And to stiokle merely
for names, in an issue like this-whet
the very vitals of tho State are being
torn out-is trifling with the great du?
ties and responsibilities of citizenship
And more than this: to oppose thc
movement, now that it has been iuau
gurated, is to give aid and oomfort
direct, to tho corrupt men who are
plundering the people. As muoh a;
those engaged in the suicidal work maj
repudiate the fact, they are nevcrthe
less, lendiug their influence to inoreas?
the power of the Radical party-actually
and in fact to increase Scott's votes ano
to aid in securing his election. This ii
the position they ocoupy, as plainly as
cause and effect can locate them, and
but little discernment is necessary tc
disoover the faot. In this direct and
absolute issue botweon honesty and
dishonesty, overy man's position and
influence must go to strengthen oithei
one side or the other. There is nc
caping this. And wo put tho pointe
tulls pointedly, in ovdor that all classes
may reflect deli irately, and ascertain
whither they are tending.
