Hampton's Speech at Auburn. Governor Kobjnsoti, in his speech of welcome to Governor Hampton at the Shields celebration in Auburn, N. V., Wednesday, dwell largely 011 the contest in South Carolina, in which the latter had taken so prominent a part. Governor Hampton, in the course of his speech in reply, said: Vour distinguished Governor has been pleased to alludoto the contest in South Carolina. That, my friends, was not a political struggle. It rose far higher than any such contest ever waged on this continent. It was a contest for civilization, for home rule, for good ^ _ government, for life itself. It was a contest waged by the people of South Carolina, not, as .demagogues wmild tell you. against .Northern Si^ t < - men, but u contest waged against carpet-baggers ?and when I say carpet-baggers I mean by ilia: thieves. We do not call any Northern man, any Irishuian, any German, any (Englishman, who settles in our midst as an honest citizen, a earpet bagger. We welcome such with open arms. Wv tell them to come to our genial skies and fertile soil, come one and all, and 1 pledge them, in the nauio of the- State, a hospitable, warmhearted reception. We do not ask whether they are llcpul licans or Democrats. I want to imihis tinon vour minds, and will do it bv illustration. What was done by the Democratic Legislaturejof South Caroliua in almost its first action? A vancancy occurred on the supreme bench of tlie State; a Clticf Justice was to he elected; it was a place which ha-l been filled by men of the very (lightest reputation in our commonwealth ; the names of honored sons of Caioliua, who would have done honor to any bench in any country, wore presented, ' tit that democratic Legislature elected to the Supreme Court a citizen of New York, who came to the State as a soldier, and who is a llepublieau. What further proof do you want that wc are not governed by pruicri|iiire feelings? Does it unt show that we have fulfilled the pledges and promises made through the last canvass to make no distinction on account of race, color or party ? We wanted to show you people of the North that wo were actuated hy the highest and most patriotic feelings. We did not wage a political cauvaas ; we were lighting for every interest dear to freemen, and thanks to brave and true men and glorious women of Sotit li Carolina, this war for good government was successful. They have established it in every department of the State government. Tlioy accomplished this, and they now propose to lttlkll to the very letter the pledges I made, and appealed to High Heaven to witness that they should he carried out. 1 declared that it' elected I wot M he tJoveruor of the whole people of South Carolina; that I would know no race or parly, or color; that all men who stood on the soil of South Carolina, native or foreign born, white or black, should be c<|iial before the law, and, so help inc (?od, it shall be done! I am glad to say the bitterness which marked that strife is passing away, and I say to you, men of New York* as Lsay tit home, 1 owe tuy election to the colored men of South Carolina. Thousands of them voted for inc, knowing that 1 had been a good friend of the race; knowing that 1 was the first man after the war to recommend that I hay should be given tho right of suffrage; and I never yet have changed on that subject, knowing they sustained me in large numbers, and 1 aui liappv to say the fears of tlo* ignorant aro passing away, and tliey are satisfied they will be dealt with in all respects as citizens of South Carolina. We intend to try and elevate them, to educate them, and try to show them the responsibilities us well us the blessings of liberty. We want them, as other citizens of America and South Carolina, to be worthy of (lie great boon of citizenship of this great republic. My friends, 1 must again thank you for litis most cordial greeting, doubly grutifyiug because it is the video of New York reverberating back to South Carolina. I came, as I said, to do honor to my distinguished friend, Hen. Shields.? Ho wore the blue and 1 wore the pray; but we C*uJeLtUu.CU?laiU..<lr&l> ovm- lii.^o vu.ir< mill eg waved over the South and over the North, niwl we cnu look to the future when that tl.agshnl Hunt over a free, united and prosperous people.

I fought as haul as I knew bow against you : an.I I .shv also that, if that tag Ileal*, as it should do, over free und equal States; if it shall be the symbol of liberty and equality and justice, all the States nxd every man <>i (lie South will honor it and love it, as of old, and the time may come, once more, when New York and South Carolina shall stand shouldor to shoulder against the common enemy, ami 1 tbtir blood mingle upon tbe soil. [Applause.] My friends. I shall bear this cordial greeting back home with mc to the little l'nliuetto State, and assure our people that your hearts here ' throb kindly for us. 1 trust in (lod that a hot- i ter future is before the wholo country, and that We shall have peace, prosperity and liberty ] to every man upon the continent.

The tiino appointed for the ceremony was 'J 1 o'clock, P. M., and before that hour a largo nsseinby, uainly composed of the elite of the town, occopied the pews of the church. The riecofotions of the Chancel were most tasty and elaborate. The walls on cither side 's were festooned with wreaths of evorgreens, surmounted with brilliant lights ; the railing he- 1 * fore the altar was handsomely wreathed in ^ choice exotic flowers entwined with ivy, while 1 >s . c_ the pillars at the end were capped with beautiful bouquets, of which the magnificent and fragrant y Magnolia gratilijlora formed the centre. Upon the Altar stood a large vase of choicest flow* 13 ors interspersed with evergreens, arranged with ^ exquisite taste, while twelve wax tapers behind displayed it with marked and ploasing elfect.? Above all, suspended from the arch of the chants eel, was a large tinic-honorod "Marriage Hell." This* nncfont hernlH'" of (hit inarriago ceremony j was formed of evergreens covered completely with (iardenias ?Cape.Jasmi.is?while beautiful deop scarlet Geraniums and Fuchias formed the it tongue, giving it a striking and grand appeare anco. The whole dec: rat ions were tasty, appropriate and cffcctivo. i Shortly after the appointed time the notes of n the "wedding march" came from the organ, under the skilful hands of Miss Sallie Munro, and the marriage cortege filed through the rear 53 door in the following order. 11 Miss Fannie Rawls, Mr. A.
