The meeting was held in tho spacious & ?od magnificent building reeeotly erect? ed for the workshops of the Blue Ridge > Railroad, aud every arrangement had ?.? been * made to seat an extraordinary crowd. But th? admirable preparation . was not sufficient, and many stood in the ';? main aislo, while scores filled the win? E. dowe and doora bb every hand.. The number present has been estimated at f /rom. 12U0 to 1500 people, white and colored, and it is our candid opinion j that there were more colored pooplein . attendance than at the Radical mass y ? meetiug last Friday night. The meeting.was called to order-at fr eleven o'olook by B. F. Cray tonf Esq., |- Chairman of the Committee of Arrange? li metits, who introduced, as the firet spoa [ ker of the occasion,.Gen. J'. B. Kershaw, T. who was greeted with enthusiasm on the \- part of the audience. Qen. Kershaw j| spoke for more thoo an hour, and en* ? chained the attention of his hearers by fi. nu explauatiou as to tho necessity, pur ? poses and organization of tho Union Re j tor m party. Ho wag succeeded by Gen. M. C. Butler, in a speech of thrcc-qaurtcrs of jg un hour, replete with facts and figures to ly deuionstrate the corruption, oxtrava .?? ganco nnd misrule of tho present Stute f- administration. Gen. Butler was ire ll quently upplaudcd, and his distinct and i explicit chnrges against the "Scott f Riug" wcro roeognizod and endorsed by ; I loud and repeated manifestations. ?The next speaker was tho Hon. R. B. Carpenter, who mudo a telling and effec? tive speech, in which he enlisted the absorbed intention of the whole audi? ence. He is ono of tho most powerful bt ump speakers wo have ever heard, and us the advocate of the Reform mavemont, will surely wiu hundreds und thousands of both races to the standard of honesty and retrenchment. Judge Carpenter handled the reigning State government with gloves off, nnd exposed tho practice by which high officiuls prostitute their positions for private gains and emolu? ment. He defied them to meet him before the people, and answer thc char? ges upon which they stood indicted. Y Throughout his speech, Judge Carpen? ter was enthusiastically applauded, aud when he closed there were deafening ' shouts of approval. The last speaker of the occasion was - Leory F. Youmaas, Esq., of Edgefield, who entertained the crowd acceptably, in a brief, pointed and eloquent manner j He was likewise cheered throughout. " aud it was evident that he produced a l most favorable impression upou our peo f The lateness of thc hour at whioh we write prevents any extended notice ot jj, the occasion, and a fuller nod more complete report will be furnished next i week. Our friends elsewhoro may rely upon the statement, that Anderson echoes hack in thunder tones demand of other sections for retrenchment and re . ' form, und will roll up a heavy majority for Carpenter and Butler on the third Wednesday in October next.

TU H?t?ORRf MOVKMKNT TA KINO HOLD OF TUB HAJWW TBB Ur COWNtB? IN ? HLAXKOPKNT?lJ HIASn-tCmiTKH MOVING I Our S tato excbaogea teem with ao counts of enthusiastic Reform meeting?, and note? of preparation for the com? ing straggle with tho "Ring of Corrup? tion" that now rules the State, and is socking, bj unrighteous means, to se euro no extension of its lease of power. Io almost every county the , good and honest people, white and black, and without regard to part;, are organising into Township and county Clubs, and the movement, put ou foot only a few w?ek8 ago, is already gathering its thousands in evorv part of the State. The apathetic are hoing aroused, the doubtful strengthened, the wavering take position, and a rallying point has been established for all who favor honesty and equal rights and justice to all. A breeze comes down npon us from the mountains, laden with tho breath of enthusiasm. Judge CARPENTER and Gens. BUTLER and KERSHAW and other noble spirits are thero, and the people, white and black, flock to hear them by thousands, and hill side and valley re? sound with their enthusiastic shouts in behalf of equal rights and- honest government. This is no enthusiastic writing, but a simple statement of the facts. So far, at Anderson, Piokens, Wal? halla, Pendleton and Greenville, large and spirited meetings have been held. Rands of niu-do and crowds have follow? ed the distinguished speakers from one point to the othor, nod the indications ure that the Union and Reform Party will sweep the upper counties of the -tate by overwhelming majorities. The campaigners are speaking daily, encoun? tering an amount of labor and exhibit, ing a spirit which has never before been equalled in a political canvass in thia State. They will gradually move on down to tho middle and lower portions of the State, and ahead of them will come the wave of enthusiasm. Let us get ready to throw ourselves on its bosom, as it rolls on down to the sea? shore. Many of tho negroes are already join? ing the movement, and on the broad ?"d liberal platform which it honestly presents, of equal rights and equal dis? tribution of representation and office, hundreds and thousands more will come, even during the present canvass; whilst for the time te come, the party must continue to grow io favor with tho col? ored man, until, with the honest of both races uuited, it shall grasp tho govern? ment of the State and bring again peace, honesty and prosperity. This platform is tho only basis upon which an adjustment of present diffi? culties oan be accomplished, and a com? prehensive look out upon the political prospect of the whole country, brings to view unmistakable signs that it will be tho successful position of the next Pres? idential struggle. We notice, with pleasure, marked in? dications that the movement is rapidly growing in favor with the good people of Sumter. Good and honost men cannot and will not long hesitate, ?which of the two to choose." The purpose to support Judge CAUPENTER and Gen. BUTLER is now gonerally proclaimed, and wo doubt not that Sumter will rally with as much enthusiusm as any other county of the Slate. lt has boen said, wo aro told, by Gov SCOTT, that Sumter is more loyal to him than othes parts of tho State. Thc failure to go into the June Convention somewhat strengthen ed that opiuion, outside. Tho failure to rally to thc lloform Party now, would* be almost confirmatory of it. Wc believe that our people ure true os stool, and that their standing aloof, up to the present time, from tito movement, has been no indication of their leaning to the oorruptionists, Wo now cull upon them to take hold with spirit, Thove must be organiza? tion. Without this, wo oan wield no effective power. Let caoh Township proceed to organizo its "Union Reform Club." Let tho officers of these clubs ba composed of an equal number of white nod oolorod citizens. If posiiblo, the organisation should bo complete before the 81st of August, when the, great Muss Meeting will bo hew, at Sun.ter, to *$> addressed by J?o|go' CARPENTER mid ti OM*.

ConBti ta lion al AtoendmeoU enforcing it, will be upturned, and the ballot taken from the negro. To the deliberate mind-the mind competent to lake a calm and In? telligent survey of the prospect, patti ?od future-tho chimerical and fallacious character ot such a hope, would appear, even io tho absence of decided utterance from the Northern Democracy. (The canvass of SEYMORE and BLA*? was fought on that issue, andie would be but inviting certain defeat to repeat it now.( But the Northern Demooraoy is ! not silent od th?$ subject. The groat JSm pire D?mocratie State qf New " York, through ita Democratic Legislature, has stricken from its laws all disoriwinn tions because of color, and the result was an overwhelming Demoor?tio suc? cess at tho late election for Chief J UP tice. Is it possible that that State will or can go baok on that position ? Ohio, the nest most powerful State, has followed in the lead of New York ; and there is now scarcely a possibility that a single eleotion, io a single State, will embrace the issue of negro suffrage. The following extracts from a late issue of the New York World, the ac? knowledged leader of the Northern Democracy, puts the matter fairly and squarely before us. The World publish? es the Address of the Executive Com? mittee of the Union Reform Party, oom mends the movement, and speaks as follows : "There ave only two conceivable reme? dies for this deplorable state of things ; one by depriving the negroes of the right of suffrage ; the other By abandon? ing that mutual hostility of the two raoes whioh tho Radicals and carpet baggers have so industriously fomented. The first of these remalies might be the best if it mere practicable f but it would bc a wild crazy quixotism to attempt it. It could not be accomplished without plunging thc country into another civil war, and we have had quite enough of the bitter fruits of civil war. The only practical way of restoring good government in the South is by thwarting the too successful attempts of the Radicals to stir up jealousies and an ? imosities between the two races. - Their interests are really identical, and if the con filet whioh has been- eaused by the Freedmen's Bureau and carpet-baggers were healed, the best citizens of both races, even io a State like South Caro? lina, where the negroes are a majority, could control the government and reform existing evils. The only practical solu? tion is to recognize negro suffrage, and es . tablish friendly relations with the better part of the coloredpopidation." " When you go to Church, you ought to go to hear the Gospel." These words fell upon oar ear, from the lips of a colored man, a day or two ago, as we past by a group of Iiis own people, to whom he was speaking. From other words, of i which we also got the sound, tho speak ' er was evidootly inveighing, with some spirit, against the commingling of politics with the services of the House of God. The oolored people, sinoo their with? drawal from tho three leading branches of the Southern Churoh, have doubtless heard more of politics than of the Gos? pel, when they have assembled together, even on tho Sabbath, avowedly for pur? poses of worship. And this has been, and is, more especially the caso, proba? bly, with reference to those who have eonnected themselves with tho establish? ments of the Northern Methodist Church, (so-called). Those who have obtained the greatest political power with the oolored man, have ooine in the garb of tho Ministry of Christ, and whilst going through the form of estab? lishing ohurohos, for religious instruc? tion, and for the service and worship of the Most High God, have reared unto themselves political temples, in whioh they reign supreme, in tho interests of their own aggrandizement, and tho ser? vices of the God of Mammon. Religion is mocked, nod the Churoh of Christ put to open shaine. As was said of tho oorruptionist, Whittomoro, by ono of his own party : "Tho Rev. rascal, who aton?a tho livery of Heaven to serve tho devil io ." Tho word? of the colorod man, then, fell not upon a listless ear. It he could wake up to a proper sense of the delu? sions into whioh he hasbeon lcd by po? litical pronohers, (plunderers i) a solu? tion of the difficulties whioh beset us, would, in a grout mensure, li uv o been found.

Aud yet this man was one of the prom, inent leaders of the Republican State Convention which recently met at Co? lumbia-chairman of the Committee on credentials and platform and resolu? tions I THE OARPBT BAGGER VS. THE NEGHC' Forborne time past it has been evident that there was a growing disposition on' tho part ot the negro to "throw oven? board" hts carpet bag ''friends." In the recent Congressional nominating conven? tions, it cropped out more fully. They woro boisterous and a fierce contest raged, but thc negro side came out victorious, und two ol' the worthies were decidedly disgruntled. In thc Third District, K. B. ELLIOTT, (colored) was uominated over HOOK, by 19 to 9 votes. In the Scoond District, BOWEN was nominated, and a subse quent assemblage of delegates, carrying, it is believed, a large majority, put forth ll. C. DELARGE, (colored.) In this, the first Congressional District, it is belioved that HAIN KY will be nominated over WHITTEMORE, In the Fourth District A. S WALLACE, (native white) was nominated. 2?XKUNT. The Columbia Phoenix of tho 21st ult., says, the sun of Congressman HOOK having set, his partner-Gen. WORTH? INGTON, ex-member of Congress, from Nebraska and ex-minister to the Ar? gentine Confederation-has departed. He came to Columbia (according to his own statemeut) to practico his profes? sion; but, as is supposed, finding that unprofitable, turned politician, with a like result. Thc reign uf the carpet-bag? gers draws to a close. Now let the honest native white mun, whose in (crests atc identical with those ot the colored mun, step forward in good faith aud uuito with him for goodwind honost govern? ment. A highly intelligent writer in the Unionville Times, of the 29th ult, over tho signature of "Truo Reform," says : "I provo myself, at least, free .'from tho charge of fault finding "and flaw picking. Ho who is guilty "of it, at this time, is either endeavoring "to defeat the Party of Reform, uudcr "various prctcuces, or his mental cali "bro is of so poor a quality that ho is "utterly unable to comprehend tho tre? mendous importance of tho present "orisis." VSf The Newberry Herald af, the 27th ult., teems with onoouragemont for the Reform movement. Barbecues are to bo given at Saluda Old Town, and at Wndlington's Cross Roads, where CAR?

They waste their strength really against the existing conditions, instead ot uni. ting to iiuprovo it. They won't appre? ciate the wisdom of the old statesman who said that in worldly affairs the best was never attainable. AU that could bo expected was the next best. It we can unite an act vigorously, I think we can win. Whether we will or not, we oer. tain ly can suoceed in improving the next Legislature. We will put in a large number of our own people, and will force the 'Ring' to run botter men. WASHINGTON HKPIIBLICANS ANO DKMOCRATS OPPOSED TO TH ti SCOTT "HING," Qen. Rutter made a telling speeoh before the spirited Mass Meeting at Pickens, during whioh be said : "When in Washington a few days ago, I did not speak to either a Denioorat ora Republican who did not oondemn and donounoe tho corrupt and dishonest ad? ministration of aflairs in South Carolina an.; assert that it was a disgrace to any civilized country. Yet for this state of affairs our owu people are partly to blame hy sitting down and permitting Scott ?nd his minions to step between the two races (when there were no causes for discord) and originate discord and briug about this disgraceful stato of things. NOT A DISSENTING VOICE 1 The accomplished correspondent of the Charleston Conrier, who is traveling with tho Reform canvassers, in the upper part of the Stat' and pouring into tho columns of that paper the gratifying successes met with, under date ol the 27th ult., from Anderson C H , suya : "The tide which set in, in favor of the Reform movement at Pickens Court House, on Monday last, increases in magnitude and volume, as it rolls onward, and os wc journey from village to village, the people turn out in numbers, and never in ono instance yet have I fouud a single dissenting voioe, except, of course, those of tho SCOTT "Rina"" A WOKO TO THE WISE. MR. EDITOR:-Will you allow a plain man u word in your columns ? I am not a Ha Meal, and I am not anxious to have thc Scott party continue in power, for I think that iu two years more, if these men are not turned out of office, we will have the last bcd and table sold to pay tho taxes and fill their pockets But if I wanted to insure their re-election, and fasten their fangs upon this unfortunate country and State, and thus give them further*chanoe to enrich themselves at tho expense of the utter ruin of the population, both white and black, I would hurrah for Democracy and run down tho Reform Party, cr any other party that calls upon tho State to unite for (heir overthrow. Cause why? Because by doing this, I would or?ate dissension among those who alone can succeed in suviog us by a union of all the friends of \ good government without roferenoe to old party linos or issuos. Carpenter and Butler are endorsod by Wade Hampton, Korshaw, James Connor, and in faofc by nine tenths of the best men in thc State, and they hove thc approval, in their war upotr tire Soott "liing," of both parties at the Worth. If a mun is not a secret helper of the Scott "Ring," and wants to-do anything for himself or h is children, even as a Democrat, thc Reform Party otters him a dian oe whioh he cannot negloot, with? out futuro regrot. To scouro a regular De mooro ti o Ad* ministration is not only koowa to .be impossible, but would accomplish noth? ing in setting asido those issues whioh Congress has faetenod and sealed upon the country. If by any means he oan ROCH rc a government whioh, if not all we would li ko, will still be pledged to economy, and somo raupest for the opin? ions and pookets of the governed, it is worth a desperate effort and any amount of personal sacrifice to do so.
