BURIAL OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. At 6 o'clock yesterday evening the members of tho Board and their invited guosts entered l?e spacious and elegant banquet ball of thc Charles? ton Hotel, to the inspiriting music of the U. S.

At tho head of tho table tho Stars ant> Stripes were unfurled, enshrouding within their folds tho Palmotto Flag. Over the centro was the following legend : "When commorco flourishes, orosperity reigns." The room was further decora? ted with tho British, Russian, French and Spanish flags.

In front of tho Prpsident was anchored a largo vessel, tho George Peabody, under full head of steam; on the table to tho left was the Templo of Liberty, an elegant structure, in the construction of which not a little architectural skill was exhibited. Opposite to it was a locomotive and fieight train crossing the Ediato Bridge. Further down ou the eastern table was a pyramid of staplo productions of South C.u-olina cotton and rice, and opposite to it a splendid Palmetto tree, with fae simiies of Sea Island cotton piled around. Thoso ornaments wore aU manufactured by Slr JOHN MABION, King street. In addition to these ornaments a neat bouquet waa placed by each plate. Thoro were in all about 200 covers. W. S.

LUDOVIC!, Esq., and others. - The dinner was elegant, all that even tho most fastidious epicure could desire. It was well got? ten up, well cooked, and excellently nerved. Massrc. WHITE & METES know how to keep a ho? tel,-there is no mistake in that; and during the entire evening the arrangements, in every respect, left nothing to be desired. About 9 P. M., tho outgoing President. W. S. HASTIE, arose and spoke aa follows: ' . Gentlemen cf the Board if Trade : Our institution, born amidst chaos and confusion, fos? tered amid trials and disappointments, celebrates to? night its first anniversary. A common danger brought us into existence-a common interest will cement our union. We have lately seen the accumulated wealth of nearly a century pass trout our midst. The fortunes of many of us-tho result of long years of bono rabi J indus? try-iras been absorbed in the general ruin; but with spirit, energy and indomitable perseverance, great deeds can be accompliaiied. And I would say to our young men, there should be no such word as rail in their vo? cabulary. (Cheers.) Adversity lays bare the human heart. I -have' 'lately Been so many instances of mi for? tunes concentrated upon indiviauals, ad of which have been borne -with meekness and resignation, thatT am in? clined to think better of poor, frail human nature t-jui in former years. ?? . . Man whom God made after His own image is not a fail? ure. . "Bow poor, how rich, how abject, how august, how complicate, how wonderful is man-how passing wonder, rio who mode Mm such I" I But let the dead bury the dead-let tho past take core of itself-let ns look with hope to the bright futuro. "Trae hope is swift and flies on swallows' wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings." j : My friends, let na for a time. throw, aside all the cares and trials OJ Ufo, and live but for the hour. Mr. HASTIE then' announced tho first regular toast : "The State of South Carolina," upon which the hand struck up "Dixie" amid the deafening cheers of the enthusiastic assemblage. Governor OBS arose, and was loudly cheered. After the applause subsided, he spoke as follows" : Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Board of Trade : I thank yon for the very nattering reception wnich yon have beon pleased to give me personally, and for the pa? triotic manner with which yen have received tue senti? ment to the State of South Carolina. I regard that testi? monial oe an indication ot the respect and affection which her sons entertain for the Executive of the State, now and In all times past, and I trust that, the same regard will ne extended to her Executive in future. (Applause ) I am glad to meetyou on the present occasion, because this meeting ls- rat lim tated, to promote tho, commercial prosperity of your State. I am especially glad, if lor a o other reason, to meet you amid such peculiar associa? tions, T unit around lae the high dignitaries and func? tionaries representing the army and navy oi the United States. (Applause.) I also find around me the evil officers of the Government of "the United State?; (Ap? plause.) I find also the chief officers of your own city. It ls the first occasion which I have had tue opportu? nity of attending, at least within the 1< ml ts or ooatn Carolins, since the termination of our unfortunate war; where .with such a combination of influences there have been exhibited substantial evidences - that we were at? tempting to reconstruct the Union, and again reunite is the same spirit of amity which existed previous to tue commencement of the struggle. (Applause, j . Ithonld be very glad, lr it were in my power, to Indi? cate a plan by which the prosperity of Charleston,-a city which not only enjoys tne. annotions o? your people hero, but the affections of the people oi tho entire state, to a degree which is not enjoyed perhaps by any city upon earth,-I will not except even the city of Paris, of which it is said that Paris is france,-may be assured; bat I know of no means of your promoting your prosperity, In tho present aspect of affairs, without the introduction of capital. When I look around, and recognize gentlemen here of tua highest character, intelligence and enter p.lss, I realize that Charleston does not lack for the ele? ments that are calculated to give her a position higher even than ?he occupied in former times. ,Applause.) You need capital. How is that capital to be produced? Previous to tho war you had a banking capital amount? ing to something like ?lt,000,000. you have nowa banking capital amounting tcabour $400,000. Look at tho contrast ; ?400,000 os compared With ?14,000,0001 And yon have needed, during mis present season,. than 514,000.000 more than you did when 'you shipped from the port of Charleston 300,000 bales of cotton. During the present year you had brought to your port probably not more than loO.UKS bales ; and If yon will travel through the State you will find that the crop' to bo brought here next fall will be materially reduced. Why? Because as merah nts, factors and agents, _> ou have not been able to extend to the larmer and planter thoso facil? ities for cultivating the broad scies now lying idle, walch won ld have yielded their fruit, if he could hare commanded the necessary capital. Bow -thon. Mr. President, and gentlemen, are these difficulties to be removed? - POT two long years lt has been my sim to conduct the affairs of the State In a manner that should dovelopo its resources, and yet be, m aocordance with the course In? dicated by tho Executive of the United States. In a measure, however, my'efforts have boen unavailing, and within the last thirty days a soli greater change'has been necessitated. After we had done all that was required cf South Carolina, Congress comes forward and declares that that body, and not the President, has the right to' dictate the terms upon which tee reconstruction of tho State le to be effected. Carrying out that view, Congress passed a hill at its regular session known as thc Sher? man Bin, and, during its reo.nt session, what ls known as the Supplemental Bill; and the vital question now presented to the people of South Carolina, as well as the people of all the Southern states, is whether we shall' accept the terms of those bills and endeavor earnestly, sod IS good faith, to carry out their provision?., or feld our arms in silence, apathy. Indifference and contempt, with a d?termination to take no step. This io tho oue? taon presented to the consideration of the Boothorn peo? ple, y- . ? I propose upon &eprc?at occasion. Mr. President, ami Gentleman of the Bond, to indicato to yow my cfimons. og to the or/unto to bo pursued by South OroUns. If tho counxMie I give aro not acceptante, and I do not substan? tiate them tay snmoiert reasons, reject thea, ss lt ls t your duty and your provinco to do. but, if on the other hand, they aro reasonable and have weight, I ask for them your rcspoctful consideration. (Applause.) I de? sire to ntaro to you that your commerce, manufactures and agricultural in te reata will all romain paralizcd until our polit.cal relations are re-established and re-instated with ibo Government at Washington, and until you se? cure representation in tho Congress of tho United States. Whtlo the Constitutional Amendment was proposed to South Carolina as a slate, and our own volition in that capacity could be exorcised, as is well known to every gentleman bore, I opposed its adoption, but the act of Congress recently passed, has assumed that thlp country is a conquered territory, a conquered people, and conse? quently that that bod v has a right to dictate terms. Thc lower exists in that body to dictate thoso terina, lt ls Hocuro tor tho next two years, and when they place them? selves squarely and broadly upon that platform, I for ono, do not propose to go to the Supremo Court or any whero elso, tor tho purpose of disputing that power; but iu good filth I "w ill accept the terms, huralUiattng as they may bo, and openly, fairly and squarely urge their an option boloro our people. (Ureut applause.) As I have said to you these terms aro humiliating, and, in many respect?, uugcuorons and unjust, but whou Congress exercise their power in spite of the President of thc United States, and without regard to the Constitu? tion which han in vaia beon hold up to them for the last eighteen months, I see no other course for U'to adopt os a mutier of interest than to yield. I happen to be one of that class of poisons that aro disfranchised now. henceforth, and forever. I havo neither the privilege of enrolling myself as a votor of casting my voto at the bal - lot box, nor of becoming a candidato lor the humblest office under this organization, and, therefore, the coun? sel which I may offer upon the present occasion may bo regarded as accepted by even those who are in the habit otJistniKting mo as the expressions of an Individual en 1 ?roly disinterested and anxious only for the wollare of bis people. [Applause.] Wi tu re I ere nco to the disfranchising clause, I think it was au unfortunate ono. According to an estimate made in tho rogion of country in which I resido, it appears that within the .units ol' Anderson District alone, about eigh? teen hundred persons would be excluded rrom the prvvl losc of voting. I presu > o that this rule will apply to the entire Stato of Sruth Carolina. Very many ot these per? sons excluded, enjoy thc esteem, respect and confidence of tucir fellow-citizens. Many of them, indeed, are, in my humble ju Irrnient, required in the formation of our State Govemni nt. And the absence of these gentlemen in your Convention, when it assembles for the purpose of preparing a Constitution, will be a source not only of re? gret to the people, buta misiortuno to the State, bucauso their wisdom would enat le them to give such a direction to public afiajxs as would make them moro acceptable to tho community at I irge than those which we ore likely to hope tor with the present prospect It is better, how? ever, that wo should bc excluded than that we should ro? lase to accept the terms oroposed, when there is a rea? sonable certainty that if we do not accept those terms, othor and harsher terms wid bo proposed than those which aro contained in tho bill. Looking, therefore, to tbc interests of the great mass of the people of South Carolina, and believing that the threat of confiscation wul not be carried into effect ii we accept the terms of this bill ; and believing that confiscation will follow if wc do not; knowing also that we shall be benefitted Dy its ac? ceptance, I say that, as my humble judgment, interest and wisdom dictate that we shall concur in the measure proposed by Congress. (Applause.) I would, therefore, say to every man in South Carolina, who has not boen disfranchiged, that as soon as the proper order has boen issued, ho should proceed to reg istcr hisnvme, and ; ?pire to go to the polls to vote for thc host man that can be selected to form a constitution under which we and our posterity can live. I believo that Congress made a mistake, and they will realize it, when they extended suffrage to the colored man. I was in favor of giving to tbs colored race, before that law^passcd, wbenover its individuals could read and write, or possessed property to the amount of (250, the elective franchise. lu the first place, if you open the door for all to vote you give an opportunity for bad men to exercise their in ilitence, but il you had restricted tho privilege in tho manner In which I had suggested yon would have had a guarantee that when their arguments aro addressed to col? ored men they would have had the good sense to reject tnem. In tho next place, it congress had created this limitation to the rieht of suffrage. Irrespective of color, I undertake to say that every mau in tho limits of South Carolina would in five years havo qualified himself to ex? ercise the privilege. Under the present circumstances, however, you hold out no such inducement. Ton have sn opportunity to educate this race. If you educate them you will make them citizens who will understand tho relations of society much better than if they remain in a state of ignorance. It is, therefore, to our interest to give them au intellectual character; and it ls your interest fur? ther th;'t the black man shall vote with you in the com? mon election. I havo heard a good deal said ot controll? ing thc voto of thc black man. It has been sup .osed that his vote will be controlled by personal influences, and notwithstanding his convictions of interest, but you are mis taken. That vote is destined to be controlled not by personal considerations, but by going to the black man and talking to him in private conversation, and proving to him that his interest in South Carolina is your interest; that the white man's interest is tho black man's interest. I thick it can oe shown to any rational black man that it is to his interest to make his friends hero ratuc-r han in the State of Massachusetts. lt is supposed that because too black ajan has been held hero in a condition of servitude for ages pas., so soon as restraints have been removed from hlnij he will at once become the enemy of the white man. It will be declared that thc Northern man has set him free. But it may bc remembered that it was not the first, .nor the second, nor the third, year, nor till they were called upon to fight ia the armies af the Orated States, that they wore set freo. Suppose, however, that they wcro set free by the Northern people, tho question arises with them : this relation having been destroy cd. we occupy a totally new position. What, therefore la our material, our nodal, our personal Interest T I suppose that many ot the colored citizens ot this State, both before and after the war, are able to cite the names of Mr. A.. B. and C., who have extended to them pecu? niary assistance. if agL'ic,u?iuru flourishes in the State, whose interest ia promoted by it ? Is it not that man's who occupies. the position of landholder ? Yet you find Congress impos? ing a tax of three cents a pound upon cotton up to sep? tember last, and two and a half cents since that date. Looking at the last year's crop when there was no com? plaint of the colored people in any section of the State, and when we produced 100,000 bales of cotton, what proportion ot that has gone in the shape of taxa? tion? $1,200,000, whi h has boen literally wrung from these peoplo, in the shape of tax upon cotton, while not a dollar has been levied upon the wheat cr grain in Ohio, or corn in Illinois. Do not. then, toll Te, gentlemen, that the coltrod peo? ple have not the intelligence to bs interested in those affairs. They need representation in congress as much as we do. They require that the tax sholl be taken off their labor. It lu not only tho cotton of South Carolina, however, but the tobacco of Virginia and North Carolina which is as unequally taxed. ? It is not, then, by intimi? dation and brow-betting, or hy wronging these people, that you are to control their Votes; but; yon must show that it is to their interest to vote with yoo, and I under? take to say, that when these facts are presented to those who have intelligence, they will be found standing shoal der to shoulder with the white man, and carrying out the principles which I desire to urge upon you on this-occa? sion. ... It is to be expected that attempts will be made to alien ate the sympathies of these people from ns. People will come her? and see that the negroes have been persecuted. We concede the fact that theirs was a condition of servi? tude. They wero so under the law. It was beliovf d to be right, but the relation is changed, and now; every dollar which tho black mon earns by his labor goes to his pocket in precisely the same way as every dollar which the white man earns goes into his pocket. Now, there fore, our interest is identical. As some of those remarks are likely to go in print, I would here toke occasion to say one or two things which I desire to go upon the record.' When au emissary comes here from the sute of New York, Massachusetts or Ohio, and says to tho black man, we' are- your fri o ade,-we ure going to take care of you; voto with us; these white people cannot be trusted; I want our colored men to say to these emissaries, to the Massa? chusetts man,-that in South Carolina, under this law, lt matters not by whom lt was passed,1 every colored man, twenty-one years of age, .is on titled- to' his ballot, and that he would not be allowed to vote in Massacbu. setts, uni ss he could reed, and write., Say to the emissary from Ohio who comes here for the purpose of giving ad? vice as to how. you shall vote, go back to Ohio, 'and en? lighten the heathen " there, before'you come here, be? cause no black man there ia en titi, d to vote. Within the last th reo weeks,. New Jersey, Ohio and Michigan have resolved that the black man shall not vote under any circumstances whatever. .,. .

I think that is the name. I do not think thisla.wise, because I believe that tho whit? and colored pej plo of these unreconstructed Stares will further ta cir ends more thoroughly by turning their attentions to their own State politics; and when we get the right ot representation in Congress, I-would ?end. men there not pledged to a Bopublican Cmon party; act pledged to the Democratic parry, out I would sand men who would say to all parties : Wo stand by that party which will give Us equal rights, equal legislation,, and equal justice, under the laws sud constitution. of this, country. I know there ls an apprehension wide-spread in tho North and West that, alter the reconstruction of the Southern States, we shall fall into the amur of our old allies and associates, the old Democratic party. I say to you, gentlemen, however, that I would, give ho such pledges. I was identified during the ten years of mv public career as a representative in Congress from one of the Districts of South Carolina with that party; and as my distinguished friend, the Commander of this Military District, knows that I enjoyed their confidence, and the highe t office within the girt of that party of which I wes a member. (Applause). I have, therefore, every reason to entertain the re? spect and regard for that party, and I have entertained the hope for many years to soe lt reinstated in power; but the dream has passed. We have accounts to 'sortie with that party, gentlemen, before I at least will consent to aflu?ate with it.1 (Good, good, and applause.) : Many of you wed. remember that wncn .the war first commenced, great hopos and expectations were held oat by ou friends in the North and West, that there would bono war and that if it commenced it would be north ot Mason's and Dixon's line, and not lu tue south.- ' You .. know, sir, .tnrrdngto gen- Sickels,) thatiaith was-pledg- . od. and I will now state that if that faith had been pro- I , perly carried out, there ls no probability that any State [ bat South Carolina would caye- sec ceded from the Pod- I eral Union.. ".' , xl.

Again, during the pendancy of tho. Constitutional Amendment, every Northern newspaper, and almost every Democrat in tho country, urged upon the South to reject its provisions. It was rejected. A fow weeks only elapsed, and yet we find that on the passage of ibis Sherman Bill, our DemocraticTrlends, acting m conjunc? tion with old Thad. Stevens, were instrumental in In? corporating cm tnat bill ita most odious features. It went back to tho Senate, was anally .adopted, and every ono of the Damoeratio newspapers all over tho North, so far. as I am lnronnad, have como out and urged the Southern people to accept tba Bill. ' I say to you, therefore, .toot in my judgment it is Umo'fbr us to seek new. friends and a new alliance Hcncd lam opposed to organizing any party in South Caro* una. that will cement itself to the Democratic or any otter party. I would not affiliate wita any party that woaal pct a tax of two and a hali conto a pound on cotton, whoa not cue cent ls put on the corn and grain raised in Ohio, Indian* and otbVwestern Btetss.;^ . will perpetrate such an indignity. Therefor , whan we s-o reconstructed, I hope .that our Beeres ntaiives will goto Washington ana declare allegiance to that party which wai do us jusdci, and that, in my jndjment.

In conolUBion, I would Bay again that I bcliovo it is wiso to give to the black man the rights which bau been conferred upan him, and to permit him to enjoy those privilege > in good faith. '1 brough their efforts we shall undoubtedly oe reconstructed, and thus secure represen? tation, and our ri hts as equals in tho federal Union. I thank you, gentlemen, for your attention. Tho Governor's remarks were listened to through? out with tho most marked attention and loudly and enthusiastically cheered. After music by tho band, Mr. HASTIE aroee and gave tho seo-nd reg? ular toast : Major On. Daniel E. Sickles.

In place of a coarse, luatic, flashed face, she had a soft raby com? plexion of almost marble smoothness, and instead of tw nty-throc she really appeared but eighteen. Upon in? quiry as to the canse of so great a change, she plainly told them that she used the CISCAS IAN BALM, and considered it an invaluable acquisition to any lady's toilet.
