And, I must say, thatbftentimos my. heart baa i; lin oat suuk within me, when I rotlected that we had to look to tito party thou in -pt wer to restore tho Union, and re-- stablish it upon tho basis of constitutional liberty wbtro our lathers founded it. Under tho inilu euee pf'tke*feelings aud .payions which had become so -''much'iufianioa'during" tho war, ut its close tho extreme , mou of that party obuunod the control of. anons, und gave direction to the action of Congress.

Al .' though our annies had been surrendered -and pcaco pre? vailed throughout the acceded States, these extremists shewed ovory disposition still to treat oar people ns pub? lic enemies ur as a conquered people, having'-flo rights .except such.as m meroy anight be .oonceded to them by ' ""the'eonqueror. Proceeding upon this assumphon, which was iulso/both in tact ae.it la in' theory," they advocated confiscation, disfranchisement, and ad those extreme radical measures, tho discussion of which hos occupied the time ?snU atjtentipia-of -Congress, for the lost two years.

'j Before 1 proceed .to ;'glv? niy views aa to the .cause j . pT.Tper to be pursued by the-people of the South lu relo-t eton to these measures, 1 beg to present a few thoughts) upon'-wliat I cunceive toISc essentially necessary os condi? tions precedent to a lasting settlement of this question, a: lt was o wini of confidence between the people of tho two sections of the Union, on alienation of. feeling brought about by a long train of causes, which flnally cnlminated'lu wgr between them. Aud it is this same* feeling, aggravated no doubt, by'the cou?ict of arms, sud stimniateu by the lust of power, which has been.' most milo eu tia! in def ea ting or postponing a restoration of. tho ' Union. "Ko"other'cause is eumcient to.account for thu' , courso .which- has ? boen pursued - toward the seceded States.'?-' .-? ''''1 .<.> . ' ? -1 '-'-' . The war wno over ; it ended by tho voluntary surrender of our armies in the field. Afterthis, the people every? where, throughout tho seceded states submitted to the authority of the United States, and accepted tho terms. - of tho a il nos ty offered to thom by the President. Their"" cause had. been lost. ?nd. th.?>- aekucn-ic-Jged tho ract by* ;. accepting ba good loi th tho results of their unsUcceaa-'j - fa! attempt 'at'secession. Kesistanca td the authority' i.-re-estabUajiod over thom was no longer thought ol; hopes 'ot peace and - -tranquility alono occupied their, rainai. That acts of .violence, crimes committed by lawtess individuals and bands of marauders, lollowod th? cessation of hostilities, cannot be denied. ? But these' were'mer?'incidbrits attending tte close of y eirs'of blood imd carnage, the rack ot which flitted 'athwart tho sky as - it, cleared: up after tho storm-cloud of war had passed "away... It is also true.that it required a littlo time for so? ciety ta readjust itseli on its new basis, to adapt itself to tho changed order of things ; und during this time there was some civil commotion, confusion and violence, but lees, perhaps, than.byer followed any great civil war in ... modern history. The great foot existed-the Confederacy -,- had fallen, and the people -who had sought to establish ,'i it gave it up, and wero ready and willing to rehrm to their former allegiance, a. d live in peace and harmony' ] with .those whom they had anet--in battle, away on so. . many fields. : - Why were they not "nerinitted to do so ?1 Eecauso those who controlled the legislation of Congress , hod no confidence in .OUT -professions.1 Because under - : the influenco of the feelings which brought about 'the . war, and were engendered .'during its progress, they not j ? only.distrusted our patriotism, but dreadedpoliticalcom4 binaUons that might bo formed after the ro-esmblish .ment of the Union and tho admission of representatives in Congress from these statea. -Admitting that mo rola- - tlon of conquerer and conquered oiistod In its1 fullest : extent between tho repreeeiited and unrepresented States, there was no ground, no just reason.'fbr keeping Upon . our necks the heel of mihtary power. ^>n the one side, j obedience -was ..tendered in good faiths it -"should '-have ' ' boen accepted in the simo spirit on the other side. Ac ? cording to the law of nations, promises made crear to ? rebels must be held sabred. Congress ought to have kept - Its promise held out to the peoplo of tho South, that the war had not been waged against them for the deVtruetiou of their rights and liberties,-but for the preservation of the. Union. Aa amnesty had also been published and ac? cepted by the great-body of the lnflurgents. By the same law, when this is done, "all the past must be buried in . .oblivion," and "no one can he called to account for what ' hus been done during tho disturbances." . Again, according to tho . principitis of tho law ? Of .bttionai as laid down by -the most approved ? writers, thc^^war between thcUnitcd Statua and tho States . which socedod orutiemptod to.secode, was a f?rt'? War. .

Vattel says that. "Some have dared to advance this monstrous principle, that.the conqueror is.absolute master bf his conquest-that he may.disposa of; lt-aa his property, that be may treat it au he pleases, ncc arding to the common . expression of freeling a State as a conquered country, - and ?H'nec they derive one of the sources or despotic -govern :.jaent." Mc then procoedo to arg?e the question von , principles countenanced by reason and conformable ti> humauity," and arrives.at tho principle thai "tho whole - rightof the conqueror :is derived rrom Jnsti?able self . dsfsnce ;" that, in otha', words, the power and dominion of tho conqueror should be oxercised for no other or farther objects than - tho-support and prosecution of his right; that ovorything beyond that .would be contrary to reason and humanity, m violation of the great princi. j . pies of rieht and justice which .natara tmd. the .usages of nations have established-for, the govarnmeirtr ofmani kind.

This is a short analysis of tho leading provisions of these measures. In considering tho ques? tion, what course the people should take in reference tu those measures, 1 would in tho outset remark, that it is not a question - to bo dotcrminod under tho intluenco of pride or . passion. Tt ls - a' great question of Statis pulley, and. to arrive ut- a < proper conclusion, requires all tho aids of an -^ill^htonod reason unbiased by prejudice.or preconceived opinions.. Wc should UK* cubuly aud dlspassionati ly at'our pres? en; situatior, und to what wo may rousoaobly expect in tho future, as the result of tho course wo may adopt I have endeavored to do this. I have tried to forget the past ; to rite above its feelings aud passion?, and to deal ' with Ulis subject as a great and vital practical question, affecting iii ils results, os wo may solve lt, not only tho proseut generation but Uioso who are to come alter ros; and my luiud now rests upon tho conclusion ' that it is our duty to acquiesce bi tho action of Congress, and to go carnesUy to workin carrying into faithful execution those measures which have boon adopted - for the reoon- . Btructiou ol' Ule Govcniii-ollL .-' j I havo not como to this conclusion because tony judg? ment approves tho principle!} or policy of these meas? ures; because 1 believe that they ore tho best for us that could have boen devised; that they oro just and free from constitutional objections. On tho contrary, I be? hove that a wiser plan of ? reconstruction might hnvo been, adopted; one more liberal and- just to UH, and leas in 'conflict with tho Corstitution. But Congress bas .thought otherwise, ana, after long deliberation, has sub inlUed this as their plan, and os tue best they could offer us, and have thrown upon us tho rosponsibiUty of taking or rejecting it Tho responsibility of this plan does not rest m tho least degree upon us. The law making power of tho Government from Which we are now oxcluued-in which wc oro denied representation-is alone responsible for its enactment By adopting^ it, Congress has decided for us tho question os to tho mode - and manner of recon? structing tue Union. If we do our duty, history will se? cure us -.gainst either the blame, or praise which it may attach to the memory of those who havo taken part in this legislation. If, upon a ?air trial, this scheme should fail lu its object the restoration of tho statte, to which it applies, to their former relations in the Halon; if it should lead to tho establishment, of a permanent military despotism-in these btatos, and to the dual subversion of the liberties of the people, wo shall have none of the re -p-.nsibiiity cpon us-our hands will bo clean. Ii, on the contrary, it -Should bc crowned with success, and secure to us tirOumted country, and the blessings or peace ; and InixinonjYwcrnay rojoice tn the result, buttha honor and praise will bo due to others. If we reject this plan, if wo should not accept this action of Congross as a finality, and as tho best measure wo aro nicely to ge t, whn t other plan of settUug this groat and perplexing question dan wo fall upon? ?..'- ' ' Thc plan of President Johnson I have always regarded as tho. best for us, and the whole country. It was tho. most natural, simple and cosy. It.waslcssobjoctioa.al on constitutional grounds than the plan bf Congress, lt was moro in accordance with tho viows which prevailed during - tho war, aud heneo it was first supposed that it would bo acceptable to .tho .North. President lincoln's policy, during tho war, proceeded upon the idea that tho Uniou was ' Indissoluble, that ordinances of secession wore nullities-amounted to nothing more . than proof that lu the btales whick had adopted them there were persons engaged rm mstu-rectboii-in. a. rebellion which it nat ly assumed: such proportions that rt was necessary " to resort to tho military ppwor of tho Government to suppress it i All Iiis public. acts and declarations show . tl us. At no tuna, and in no manner, by word or deed, ? did ho over admit that the Union had been dissolved. - i President Johnson entertained tho same views, and ofter he.bad gone bato power attempted to carry thom out Ho attempted to carry out to a goa crol result the principles which President Lincoln had. applied to particular caaos during tho war. But what tho latter succeeded in doing during - the wax; Johnson :iailed to do ofter the war had ended; and 'it will ever remain a matter of speculation and doubt whether lincoln himself, had he lived, could nave carried' out rds policy after our nag hod gonn down. It has certainly proved a barron logue y to."Johnson and thc country. At ono time we had leason to hope, if not' belie ve. that under the auspices of the present Executive this policy would succeed. But subs?quent events havo not lott us thqshadow of a hope that, with all his power and patronage, ho will'bo able to carry it out- He is en tided to tho. thanks, of tho whole country for Ule stand which he has taken in defence of the Constitution against the encroachments of Congress. But in the conflict with ' the latter, he and his policy havo fallen-it is dead. All. . that ls lett him to do ts to execute tho measures ot Con-' ' gross- their plan. And this is also the only plan left ns to carry'but- It ia that or nothing. '' Are we prepared to accept the latter alternative ? - .> j I Lotus sea what that course, would likely lead ' toi It.is augured by some that it wdl be better .tor us to .continue . ? under mibtary'doTrnnaiibn thou to participate in carrying' [into cflcct zneasnr%aiwhich contain such degrading terms -that it will be mere honorable to adopt a -'masterly in? activity" und take-no part in the' registrations and else- . dons which these measures pr?vido ior. Tho most ob f jcctionable features ol this schema are universal su?'rago and the diatranchisemeiit of persons excluded from office by the Constitutional amendment. - Universal suffrage ia ' not only to be allowed tu tho elections ' of members to. .frame a constitution, but it must be incorporated as an article in the .Constitution to bo. adopted. These aro fmost certainly very hard terms,, and contrary not only to all our. prejudices, but to all oar views or justice and - wise statesmanship. Besides, we have always contended ' that the regulation of the electivo franchise beiongB, un ider.tho Constitution, to the States But ha Vb' wo any election tn tho matter, > that la the question? ; Can'the people, (I mean those who have neretoiore exercised tho , elective .franchise) ny : musing to ' register their names land keeping away irani the polls, prevent' tim election being held and tito Con ven non from moo ting, and in this manner retain over them -military-role?

But' for tho conservative members of tho Badi cal party this would now be the law. Will the people of South Carolina place themselves rn this dilemma? . lt seana to me that it would not only be ililwiso and- unpatriotic, but sheer madness. Another -course is advised by some which I consider e*rnally^rcds cucivoui; and suiolaaL i It la tida : Lnt;thoso entitled to vote go forward and register their names*-aftd' then vote -D0 convention."

Rhatwo know of their opinions, they will offer no better term i to us titan tho last Congress. They are in office for two vears more, and have a working majority of two thirds. Hopeful, indeed, must be tho. man'who expects that so great a change can bo effected as to reverse this majority -within tte next two years.', pr But it is said that a reaction ls going on in the North? ern 5tates,'and that at tho next election, two years hence, or at some remote period, the Tbytj/.?,I party will lose thoir p?wer.

I AibO refer to it again as additional proof of tho progres? sive spirit which characterizes tho party who now insist upon it. Prwidout lincoln was certainly, curring his time, tho exponent ot the ?li?nyt _snd opinions .ol this great party. In his lost pubic speech, ntado ot tho White House, when tho news had, reached Washington-;. bf'O^nu-uirLco'a surrender, ho stated that it had boen objested to his policy that in-tho Loo niana Oovornment, H which htd boon ootabllshed lu pursusuoo of it, nogro 1 suffrage bad not been allowed. And m answer to thia objection he said, -I would myself profer that lt ;Uie elective franchise) were now conlerrod on tho tx-ry iiuef li?eftt\ and on'those who ?rt?tf our-caius ai tot?ten." I This wse as far as ho. was wUBng.to-go-iJwhata-s<iid?rl has his porty since talton on this subject I Tho provision in tho Military itill which disfran? chises, in the elections to bo held In pursuance of lt, tho classes of persons who are disqualified trbm holding .olhoe by tho terms of tho Constitu?nol Aiueuuinont, is considered, and Justly too, as very objectionable, on the ground cf tho injustice of thu discrinilnanon which lt makes. The object of this provision was to punish tho leaders, as they are called, 1 of the rebellion, und it proceeded upon the assumption, that those who had been in publie life, who had held of-. ficos ' which required that they should take thc oath to sup? port the Constitution of tho United 8 lalee,were the leaders,; Ordinarily ?lu* proposition may hold good, bot when 1 say, that such was not tho tact in this case, tho remark is made particularly in relation to the secession ut South Carolina. Here, there -.vero no leasers in the move? ment, or ir tuero were, they had nearly all passed Irvin tho stage of action. The principles which led to this re? sult ad been deeply Implanted in tho minds and hearts of tho people by tho great men of tho state, who carno into public life during the first quarter of tho present century-the con tempo: aries of Webster and Clay, and then* antipodes in politics. These men, of whom Mr. Calhoun was the ablest thinker, educated our. peoplolu the political faith that in our compound system of gov? ernment, tho States were tho sovereigns, and were united by a compact of union, the' 1'edorsl ' Coustitution, which when violated oy Congress, each State, judging for itself, had therightto annul,, and withdraw iroui tn o Union These men also taught our people that ' Northern majori? ties had for a loug series ol years legis.ated for tho pecu? liar interests of that section, .to the neglect and injury of theirs, and-were aiming to abolish slavery in the States, and.would do so whenever they had obtained control of bf the government. . Under the Influence of these teach? ings, when Lincoln was elected Prcsldout, they believed that the.only chock upon thc exercise ot the power wuich the v had so long dreaded, had boen, removed, and that' their ins btu tiona would bo overthrowj. They thea roso up os one mun-and dofe.-mined of their own voluntary choice to make a practical application of the principles which animated them,. with ad thu fervor of a.religious taith-to nielte the j experiment of .- secession, ."lt wa- a great popular . movement in which tho people sprung ahead of their former leaders and demanded ot them tho action which was taken. Uuder such circumstances, it does sopear hard and oppressive that, where aU are equally to biomo, or have incurred equal rcspousibUuy, a distinction should be'mud? among.them* iii the impo? sition bf penalties. But viewing this 'as a practical ques? tion, lt is fortunate that tho common guilt of our people did net bring down upon thom a common patiirhinent. lt la certainly much better for us in a political view, that, univivezsal dlaU-miohiBomorithas not oceu' visited uiwn us; that only- 'a ? few have been placed in this category. These lew should not complain if their silent submis? sion to what they cannot help will result in the general good. It is humiliating to txieni.'iA a prixiislimont which they must hereby foci-to be aoprivou of what they have heretofore looked upon as their dearest btrturight. But if they do not leel tho degradation, they aro not degrad? ed. 1, myself, belong to this uul'ortuiiate class of per? sons, but if ruy exclusion from ollie e and tho right of franchise,' it th?'s?rrendcr or all the hopes which ambi? tion may have in. the post excited iii ruy bosom for politi? cal preferment, is necessary in order that the people among whom I live, may have peace and all their rights in the government restored to them, be it so-L tor ouc, um ready for.tho sacrifice. I tool no degradation in tatt? ing'thia position. Why should oue taking it feel more degraded thou .Gen. Lee did whoa he surrendered his sword tb Gob." Grant? There aro those who insist that it is our duty, to Bub mit tho question of tho constitutionality of tao Military Bill to the Supreme Court of tho Um ted States, and await the decision before any steps axe -taken by us towards carrying its provisions, i I baye little hope that the court Trill entertain jurisdiction ol tho question, or if it should, that any good will result from the proceeding. If 1 am not mistaken, it boa been tho doctrine of tho leading statesmen of this .state, that the Supremo Court of the United States is not the rightful arbiter of ; such questions ss this, questions arising between the Government of the United States and the States,'as to tho extent of their respeodve powers. But I will not go into tho argument on that point To my mind, the dim- "~ in settling tho question by a decision of the Supre* jure is, that it has no process or power by which its occisi?n can be en 'lon-odagainst either me United states or ? State. ' Is it to be supposed that Congress will yield tho point, if de? cided against them, abd recognize these States as States now-in tits Union, and'entitled to representation at Washington? How would the supreme Court enforce its. decision against Congress ?. But even supposing that it should decide that the MilltjtTy.Biil.is vmceoisutaiiionai ?hd'v?ul,' abd be able to" corry "its decision into effect, it would only lea vo us where were, bel ore; lt -would still leave Congress to enact an other measure of reconstruc? tion. 1 do not, therefore, see what practical good can be gamud-by tho surta now pending in that court. May there not be reason to apprehend chat they will only servo tb prolong and exasperate tho controversy, and hiuder and delay our restoration to tho Unicm? . It ls urgedby others that we should loot to the Demo? cratic party as a means of securing to us' better and moro honorable terms of'restoration to the Union/' I'havo already touched upon this point in what I have said ' oh the probability cf a reaction ac tho North on this ques? tion. . Persons who taite this view-, 11 seems to mc. ' forget or overlook the lii??ory'- of -tho1 Democratic porty. - The power of that party; a* a na?onall'psrry, always, or at least for rainy years before the war, resided in tho South. So long .therefore, as the Southern States remain Uurep presented inline Government, that party ls destined to re? main in a minority, unless a total ciumge of public opin? ion should take place at tho North. If it was not the very question now before tis; they were questions alan to it, -growing out of the same sn bj oct which "led to thu disrupturo ,qf tho ^Democratic party, and to secession. ThejftrtySwastorn arion dar because Its' Northern wing coola not adhere to the principles of the party, and breast the storm of popular scunment that was raging there. Accordingly, Northern Democrats began to trim their sails to the winds, tack-about, and finally abandoned, os the South thought, the' principles' bf the .'party m order to xetampowcr." '"' The result was that this sac tinco of principio tlestroyed the-unity of the party without ac? complishing ' tho end proposed! It would indeed be strange arter all th.c,' that we, should now,.hinge our hopes lipon such party. But the truth ls, tho party now hos no power, ana' never will ham, any, until ino ejouzn; is restored to toe Union sind returns to its told. ' We can? not, therefore,' rely upon it to aid us In me'present I have now gone over - tho .ground which I intended to occupy in thia corumnnlca?un. , What I-have written lias not been clone with the ex? pectation that it will have any weight in Qocialng this groat question; but if it should be tue means ot aiding uny ono in coming to a proper.conclusion as to his duty in tho trying jctrcnmstaricaB which surround us, I shaU be much gratified. I nave liri purpose tb serve but my country's good. My country I 1 may be told that I have none. lint ? have- Tho State of South Carolina is my home, and. I feel a deep, abiding interest in all that con? cerns her prosperity and the happiness of her people. She was one of the Old Tai- tcon who drew the sword in '76, and threw ott the dominion of the British Crown. And not? withstanding her peculiar position in the psst-her iso? lation in the great struggle of parties which convulsed tho Union in-former days-and although she was the first to attempt its dissolution, - her people now desire that abe should bo restored to ber old companions;-and that a genuine and lasttag reconciliation may follow that restoration.."They- are required to recant no political, creed nor to adopt e new oner-- Tuoy'may remain State right men or Democrats, as they like. All that is re? quired of themis to be good 'citizens, obey the Consti? tution and the laws, and faithfully execute thom-to pro tect the rights and liberties of all who are entitled to pro? tection. STheyfeelnow that their rights are insecure that a government bas been established over them which ls contrary to all tho ideas cf free - government which they have inherited from their fothers-that no govern? ment is free where the military power is the ruling power, whore it has ceased to bo, tho instrument of, and subordinate to, the civil' authority-that however mild and Just may be - its sway in the hands of him who now holds it over them, there la no security lbr the future that the.tendenoy of all irresponsible power is to degene? rate into tyranny' and oppression-that it may fall into tho hands of those who will abuse it tand extinguish the lost hope ot freedom. They therefore ore- prepared, In my Judgment, to make an earnest effort to escape from existing - evils, and toke refuge again under the brood tegis or the .Union, i in- the' hope mat a brighter day will' dawn upon, th em-thai the-cpuntry will ester upon anew career of prosperity-that society and government will settle again firmly upon- their new, basis, and. that all .'th? ?root .interests of -the country win revive and flongsMi fflnrf its I agriculture j?nd > commerce will be resuscitated-that sll the arts of peace-that education and-moral i.?rjprovoxheBt? will again scaUer their Hearingsio4etrsir BroilingTond; and that a united people, under a powerful jjinanimimt, will irtarrh on? ward tb the fubilTment of their great destiny,.'.--.

Accustomed during tho great portion of my invalid lile to use the diff?rent waters of tho several fountains which boil up along that remarkable valley, dependent, indeed, upon them tor much of the comfort I enjoy, 1 am eaUs ?od that the Excelsior Water is as well adapted as any other among them. If not moro so, to the purposescfor which they aro generally employed. It is very agreeable, strongly Impregnated with the carbonic acid, lively and sparkling. * * * I can heartily and conscientiously recommend it to all who need a gent?o cathartic and diuretic - SAMUEL HENRY DICKSON, M.
