Morgan Hnmnton On Haskell. Columbia, Oct. 1*4.?Senator Hampton lias I addressed the following letter to Col. J. L. M, Irliy. Jt will not silitly extremists on uiihtr side, perhaps, but it will meet the approbation of nil other citizens : Columbia, S. Oct. 23. IS'.Mt. o.v. *. i *? i_v .. \i,. it,,., w;. . ? i? I wrote n personal note to you recently my iHlviition was to remain silent until I could give my views to j on moro fully than wns then done, but rime my return home so many fiiends lutve asked of me an expression of opmit n on the conili'iun of (olitiinl afliiirs that I gave a b it-f statement to the press a few days since. This, perhaps, renders it unnecessary for me t > address you again ; hut ns various comniuiiictlions and invitations to speak at public meetings have reached me I take this method of making my views known to those who have done me the honor to n<k for them. Another reason that induces me to take this c urn1 in the fait that my position regarding political matters here nnd my e nduct have been grossly misrepresent-d in souic quarters, and 1 desire that my fellow citizens may lie fully informed ns 11 both, so that they may judge ar glit. When my old constituents of this county, wi o iinn so oiim irus cu nnu unm re<i me in tlie |iisl, invited mo io r.ddacsi ilicm in dune last, 1 came, having hut oue object ill view, and that was to appeal to our people ?u' barmmo*, tin' wruriltat+nil.-fo* uiiity u f action. I expressly disclaimed any iutent;on of interfering In any way . with' Hie canvass for tiovcrnnr, and I neither advocated any candidate, nor oppose any. I said that the people were the sole and proper judges in the selection of their officials, and that from their verdict there should lie no appeai. In order that there might ho a full and free expression of w slies as to the selection of candidates, I urged that a primary should he held, and hud this plan heen adopted the present deplorable ciulilioii ofntruirs would not have existed Other counsels prevailed, and the result is a divided putty nud a hitler contest hetwren Democrats, all of whom should tie united to maintain the supremacy of our party nud to promote the we! fare of our State. .No one deplores the unhappy dissensions in our parly more than myself, and I would willingly make any sacrifice to lieal than 1 were it in my power to do so. But the only remedy that can he applied must come frmii conservatism and the patriotism of *' the people themselves, and wc can only hope that by the exercise id" these virtues iin.- inngiTs inrcauiig us inny no averted. I ll was the conviction < 1' my inability to . reform our broken ranks now Hint induced t me t i ileclino to take part in any public tliscttssioii on the hustings. My judgement is clear I lint public meeting? t this juncture would be uuwisc ; thai they would only icml to widen the existing; brencli in our party, and perhaps to make it irreconcilable. We want 110 1'iitlier excitement : we Uav.r 1 bad already too much of that, and ef a , pernicious character : the issues i u vol vol are fully understood by the people, who ore entirely competent todee'de (Item. 1 lint whilst I shall not sj eak again in this i canvass, 1 shall support the ticket nominated bv the convention in September : but in doing this I by n * means endorse the grave j charges which have boon made against the u democratic parly of the Slate. Honesty and integ.iity have marked every ndminisIrtioii which has govermed the State since , 1*70, and we sha I indeed he fortunate if a mi* officials in the future shall !c as nblo, as patriotic and as Imnesl as they have been I in the last fourteen years. t I am impelled to support the September ticket became it was nominated by the Hcinocr.tic convention, and because the ' other ticket lacks thai cndorswioaatuJL ^re- d grct deeply that this latter ha?,fc3t>WWight cot Ilimiirli T have the (rreatesk VpMBhig. C.ir I the gentlemen composing it, and I do not, for "tie moment, question the motives of those who nominated it. For the galoot and distinguished gentlemen who is at its t head 1 entertain the highest possible regard nml esteem. 1 cannot forget his eminent services to the Slate, in peace and in war. To him we were largely indebted for the success which crowned our political e(Torts < in ls'ii, and there is 110 otTiee in the gift of ( the State for wl\ich I would not earnestly and cordially support him were he endorsed 1 liy I lie recognized anile rity of the dc.no- I crutic party. All denunciation of him and of those whom lie represents h, in my opinion, unworthy of those who indulge in it. and will ouly serve to prolong and embitter the unfortunate strife whieh now divides our pnrty. No one who knows Colonel Haskell can douht his sincerity, his conscientiousness or his democracy 1 certainly 1 do not; and while I think that he has made i a mistake in lending his name and his inllu- , eneelo the movement inaugurated by his friends, 1 shall not denounce the man who was my comrade in the war, who w.tt one of 1 the ablest rod hravest officers in my command, and who was my trusted friend and adviser in 'T'l. I do not venture to offer advice to my fellow citizens, for my last honest effort t"o do so fell unheeded ; but I do appeal to I fltfMti In* t) i r> crl? ?! ? i it i >< in a i it ai* I a j .. * I... :ill our lu?|>e* for I lie en-1 uri n j; prosperity of liie Slate, to avoid nil semblance of violence in tlie conduct cf the election- Any net of | that sort would not only tarnish the fa>r nnine of the State, but it would p'ace in the | hands of our political opponents the most powerful weapon to he used against us, and it would furnish the strongest argument for ! the enactment of the odious federal election ( hill now pending before Congress.

I shall in the discharge of the duly assigned me endeavor to adhere strict'y to the pricipte*, doctrines and measures of ilie order. 1 The Alliance is an organization composed mainly ol fanners and mechanics. The interests of these classes it undertakes to pro- ] tcct and advance?uot, howevor, without iue consideration for the rights of others ; for the organization demands "Equal rights lo all and special privileges to none." 1 I'lie declaration of intentions set forth as a 1 preamble to the constitution announces the purposes of the organization, and is us follows : I. To labor for the cdu^J^^^oTTBb ?gri- " :ultural classes i t tho science of economical ;ovcnttq(ji>wu.a strictly non-partisan spirit. endorse the motto In things e?sen- ' ,ial unity, and iu all things charity." II. To develop o better state mcnthlly, j n iral'y, socially ami tinincm ly. 1. To create :i better uuderctan ling for ' uis'aiaiug civil officers in maintninging law viul order. 1 f?. To cons'anlly strive to secure entire ' liannotiy an J good will among nil mankind mil brotherly love among ourselves. li. lo suppress persona1, local, sectional ' ihtl national prejudices; all unheal'hy rivalry anil all selfish ambition. ' 7. The biightest jewel which it garners ire the tears < f widows and orphans, and its imperative commands are to visit the homes where lacerate I hearts are bleeding, to asoiuge the sufferings of a brother or sister; I nry the den I, care f- r the widows and edura'e the orphans ; to exercise charity towards offenders ; t? couslrue words and deeds in their mod favorable light, granting honesty of purpose and giod intentions to others; ami to protect the principles of the Alliance unto death. Its laws are reason and equity ; its cardinal doct<incs inspire pnrby of thought ind life ; its intentions are "l'c.ace on earth ind good will t iwards men." Under this declaration of intentions the farmers' Al iance has expanded in two ;eavs from one million,members to a niciuicisliip of over four and a liulf millions, cotairising in extent twenty-six States and Terrioiial organ izati us. The unparalleled growth of the order, in lefiancc of it * relentlo-s enemies, challenges lie al mi rat ion of the \v?*rld ; but wonderlul is d is, its progress his been impeded by bo subtile oi'podtiou of the general press. I'here is no doubt that the press 1ms been I lie uort potent fact <rin moulding the sentiment f the peqde, and it augurs well for tho Alinnco that its columns has maintained a iteady inarch even against this opposition. When the farmers of the country invest!tato tlie principles anil doctrines of the AIiancc it will be surprising if every good one Iocs not become a member and help in the j aosc. While viit-'rios have been achieved ?y the Al iunce and millions of do'lars raved o the fnrmers that otherwise would have been wrested from th?m by the powers of coin >ino.?, lru?ts, monopolies una speculators, greater work is st 11 before us. It* we do not ie!p ourselves who will he'p us? In i he l null mule of counsel iliero is wisdom and 11 unity there is strength.

Captain Tillman was introduced by Mr. John H. Jcfforiei of Union. He spoke in a ca'ui and dispassionate manner. He said that when ho w is in Spartanburg County before the farmer! were in grass, but he hoped they were now pick'ng cotton. Continuing he sai l : When your invitation was first received 1 doubled whe'her I ought to come, ss 1 did not think ilie alliance ought to go into politics. 1 supposed that it was strictly an alliance meeting. I want it distinctly understood thai I was not a candidate of the alliance, but of tho Democratic parly af South Carolina. 1 Und before you the nominee of the regular Democracy of South Carolina and I ani ready to forgive and forget tho different as of the eninpuign.
