" When our war had ended, what ivas the relativo . pcsttlch ot the parties, what had boen accomplished on tho one aida aud lost on thu other? The United States had accomplished all that had been proposed by the war, - the attempt to secede had been put down by anus, the Union hid,: been saved. Take even the abolition ot slaveryW oWof the objecta O?..the. wary' and that had S also BeSa asMfajphssit Wrk-,r-<m Uki omer-hand, had lost everything save honor. Tho emancipation of rdavea^j and other losses incurred during thc ?^IkyU^, impoverished the . pec?lo. In this, con diBoaW.a'coVquered and ir?poytfrished people; what reason was there tor retaining us in mUitary vassalage ? Did the safety of-thc United States require it? Were their rights endangered-was the Union hi jeopardy sall? "Was lt-necessary to govern us by military power in order to secure our people, or any portion of them, in . the enjoyment of- their, rights of person and property? These States had their local governments and laws, -which; Immediately .atoe the close of the war, had been conformed to the groat changes which had resulted from tt. The people met in conventions, and changed their State constitutions so as to adapt them to thu new order of things. They abolished slavery forever, and guaran teed U ie protection of the laws to all classes of people, ?of every race and color." Law and order-submis. iou to the authority of tho United States-prevailed through? out ah the States. Had we not tho nght to expect, under these circumstances, that a generous conqueror would bury the past in obhvion, and accept the pledges of obe? dience which had been given in good faith by a brave end honorable, people? They had been conquered humbled to the dust; but they were of the same blood and lineage as their conquerors, and entitled "to tho same confidence in their promises and pledges. Why, then, ir ere they still denied the rights o?duatus, and excluded ?rom ail participation in the blessings of a common Gov? ernment which our fathers had established, while all its burdens were imposed upon them? Tho answer I have Sjgsady given, lt waa because those who controlled the action of Congress distrusted our professions-had no confidence in our observance ot the pledges which we had given. It was because tho feelings and passions which the war had engendered, had not subsided and given free scope to the exercise of reason. These causes, ?ad the desire of the dominant party to retain control of the Government, have retarded the work of reconstruc? tion, and thus tar excluded us from all participation in the Government. The removal of these causes, the res? toration of confidence between tho people of tho two sections acting upon, controlling, and direetiug thu legit. laffan of Congress, and pervading all thc departments of -the Government, is therefore necessary to a restoration Ot the Union upon terms of equality and justice. The Congressional scheme of reconstruction, as com? prised in the two measures to which I have referred, msy be vtewed to a. two-fold aspect. First, They provide a fora .o? government tor the rebel states diff~ring from that which existed at the time thc&e measures were Mased This form of go verum en t is the most sin pie that could have been contrived-a puro militar}' despot? ism. It is true that all tbc machinery of the IOCHI gov? ernments, which had been remodeled and re-adjusted un? der the Executive policy, was left in the hands ol' the mil Uarx.couiuioud.cr3, (o \>o used or uot used by tb tn^eaT^tiogmcht toVyinishtthink proper. The cr?ment* Uiou iu operation were uisde sabor tho lnililiuy. '1 ho commanding General of CH five District* ?Uto Which Lue Mates oro divided by thew) Acta ot Congress with imwer to chang thc la a s then ot force ; to mote ?ueh laws as choose to inuko ; to o'luuiidst'cr tho lows by. BU uats a.s he may establish ; to auuul'existing fora aud judicial procedures at pleasure ; to sot asidi of habeas, corpus and tho trial by jury. To hi trusted the law-making power, and tho Dower 1 thc laws by such instrumentalities as he maj all thc Lowers which usually belong to an abso arch. This government is.to bo continued ove. plc of these .-.ute? until they uro restored to th secondly. These measures prescribe o scheme i strucUou.the manner in which the States aro to b back, or permitted to gd l ack, into the Uuio scheme pr?vidos for thc regisirati<p of voten State, und fixes their qualinoauous,'aud: arizes i tiou to bo called to adopt a nt-w Cousdtutiou, to mined by ballot. The ConsUtutiou when ado; ratified by a majority of qualified voter? is to b* tel to Congress tor th ir approval, and, if appro' Representatives uro to bo admitted into Congres not disqualified from holding office and who eui oath required by die Act of 1802-tho iron-clad has becu terniud. This is u short analysis of th provisions of these measures, lu considering uon, what course ihe people should take in reit these measures, I woidd in the outset remorl is not a question to bo dotennined un influence of pride or passion, lt is quesuou ol' State policy, and, to arri\ proper conclusion, requires all Ibo aida of an eui reason unbiased by prejudice or preconceived t Wo should look calmly and dispassionately at < ont situation, and to what wc may reasonably e thc future, as the result of the course wo may I have endeavored to du this. I have tried to fe past ; to rise above its feelings and passions, on with this subject as a great and vital practical < aff ecting iu its results, as wo may solve it, not present generation but those who are to come i and my mind now rests upon tho conclusion our duty to acquiesce in the action of Congres go earnestly to work in carrying into luithiui e those measures which have been adopted for th struction of tho Governu.eut. 1 have not como to this conclusion because i mont approves tho principles or policy of thc? ures; because I believe that they are the best fm could have boon de vised; that they are just! irom constitutional objections. On thc contra heve that a wiser plan of reconstruction mit been adopted; ono moro liberal and just to us, i in courbet with tho Constitution. Rut Congi thought otherwise, and, after long d eh by ra Li cu, milted this as their pian, andas tue best they co us, and have thrown upon us the responsibility < or rejecting it. The responsibility of this plan d rest in the least degree upon us. The law inakii of the Oovorumunt from which wo are now oxclu which we are denied representation-is alono rcs, for its enactment. By udopiing it, Congress has for us the question as to tho modo and manner o structing tho Union. JS wo do our duty, history cure us against either the blame or praise whit! at.ach to the memory of thoso who luve taken this legislation. If, upon a lair trial, this scheint tail in its object, tho restoration of tba States, tc it applies,- to their former relations in the fl uh should loud to tho establishment of a permanent : despotism in these States, and to the final subve the li bernes of the people, wo shall have none of sp -nsibihty ci on us-our hands will bo cleau. the - contrary, it should be crowned with suco secure to us u remitted country, and the blessings and harmony, we may rejoice m the result, but th and praise wUi be due to others. Bf we reject this wa should not accept this action of Congroas as a 1 and os tue best measure we are likely to got, wha plau of settling this great and perplexing quest we fall upon? The pion of Pr?sident Johnson I havo always rt as the best for us, and the whole country. It y most natural, simple and ca;y lt was less obj? on constitutional grounds than 'the plan of Congr? wus moro in accordance with the views whri .'h pi during the war, and hence it was first supposed 'would be acceptable to the North. President Ii policy, during the war, proceeded upon the Idea tl linton was ^dissoluble, that ordinances of se were ' nullities-amounted to nothing more tba that in thc states ttl i i cb had adopted them thei persons engaged in" ihsurrecri?c-In a rebellion dually assumed such pi?pcr?ouB th*, it w^s ue. to resort to tho military power of'the'Go venn suppress it AU his public acts and declaration this. At no iiuio, and in no manner, by word o did he ever utimit".that the Union jijad Deon dis Pr?sident Johnson entertained the'same views, au? ne nod gone luto power attempted to carry them o attempted to carr}' out to a gwimrjd result tho pri which President Lincoln had appin*! u> par I ic ula. during the war. But what tho latter succeeded ia during the war. Johnson Jailed to do after the v. endea; and it will ever remain a matter of speci und doubt u'hether Lincoln himself, had hojivod, have coaxied out his yt mey alter our flag had gone It has certainly proved a barren legacy to Jon nts. the country- At ono 'time wo'had Leeson to hope, believe, that under the auspices Of'tbo presuitt J?'.x? tins p Bey would succeed. But subsequent event not left us the shadow of a hope that 'with aU hts and patronage, he wUl be abie io parry it out' U?i tided to the thanks ol the whole- co un try"for the which he has taken in defence of the Constilutjon e tho encroachments of Congress. But in the connu the latter, he and his policy have fa den-it is dew flat ht left him to do is to execute the measures o grass-their plan. And this is also the only plan to carry oat ' lt is that or nothing. Are we preps accept tho latter alternaiiye ? - - Let us see what that course would likely Ipfd ti. augured by some that lt will bo better for ns to'ein under min tory dominaUoD than top ? mapalo in cai into efl oct measure? which contain i icu degrading -that it will be mora honorable to adopt a "mastel activity" and toke so part in the registrations anc dons which Uitwe measures provide Lior. The moi joctiouable feature* ci thia scheme are universal su and the disfrancJUBcment of persons excluded from by the Constitutional amendment. Universal suffr, not only to be allowed is the election* of memb frame a constitution, but it must he incorporated article in the Constitution to be adopted. ' Thei most certainly very hard terms, and contrary not oi all our prejudices, but to ali oui views of justice wiso statesmanship. Besides, we have always cont? that the regulation of the elective franchise below/ der the constitution, to tho- States. -But have w election in the matter, that is the question? Gai people, (I mean those who hove meretoibre exerctsei electivo iranehi.se) by musing-to register their s and keeping ?woy from tb* polls, prevent the el? being hold and the Convention from meeting, and ii manser retain over them military ru le ? ' WU) not portion of our population who have the elective fran conferred upon them by the Militai y Bill, and tho? lng with them, register thom-.elves as votera and pa pato in the elections? If they will, and I do-not 1 there can be a doubt that they will, then by this co by this masterly inactivity, a'l power in the State is ( up to these persons. They wUl mak? a Oostitntio snit'themselvee. and may carry out the doctrino' air advocated in Congress, and sought tobe en rafted on very BiB, the dis tran cfiisam eut ot all who Voluntarily ticipated in the robeliipn. But for the conaervi members of the Radical'party Ung would now be the Will the people of South Carolina placo Dj em solve this dilemma ? lt seems to me that lt would not o nj unwise and unpatriotic, but sheer madness. Ano course is advised by somo which I consider equally oho vous and suicidal, lt is this : Let those en titlet vote go forward and register their names and then "no convention."* Admit, for the argument, that a ventiou may in this 'way be defeated, what wUl we complish'by it? lt is true thai we would be loft for present where wc ara . OW under a military go verum But ie there any ground for tho belie! that by volun ly choosing to remain in this condition, we shall thei secure bettor terms in the future? A uew Congress hos just gone into power, and fren that we know of their opinions, they will offer no be termi to ns than tho lost Congress. They are in onie* two years more, and have a working majority of I thirds. Hopeful, indeed, must .be Um man who exp that BO great a change eon be effected aa to reverse majority within the next two years. But it is said that a reaction ia going on in tho-No: urn States, and that ot the next election, two years hei or at some remote period, the Radical party will lose tl power. This is a matter ot mero speculation.. Thor nothing moro difficult than to prognosticate polit events. Nor is anything more unsafe in pohlias thai bose present action upon changes to .toko, place in future*, and especially whom those'cha'nges'i?volvb Yt reversal of the whole current of present thought, feel and opinion. This reaction of public sentiment at North, on the subject of slavery, has been rung in oars for a quarter of a century, but my observation i reading have been to very little purpose, il public sa ment on this subject hos not, from the beginning of agitation to the present hour, been set tn the same dir rion, and gathoring strength from year to year, has sw away every obstacle before it until now of all Other BI timon ts tu the Northern mind, it is the moat po wertnl, pervading and nncompromismg. It ' has never gc backward-onward has been ita motto; You moy as-v talk ol Mfling back the maj es tic current of tho great A) sissippi, os to dream of arresting the' progress of the' volution, which this sentiment is : working, before-it 1 run ita oounch-until if hus c-onaummated itspurpo That purpose ls, to place the e man oi pated slave-OB equably, political as woU as civil, with the white mi Tais result I look upon os the decree of destiny-no 1 man power can prevent it It is within possibility tl it may be postponed, but it will como-it ia inevitab . Why, then, contend against fate, against that which ' cannot successfully oppose? 1 he eagle, tu ho a tri k with bold and fearless wing tho storm that hurries hi away, is an object in nature that claims oar admlratt o but he can riso above tho clouds, and soar again to 1 "prule'Qf place." Not so with a people situated aa \ are.--who stand in the way of tho march of events, wi attempt to stem a mighty popular movoment which h its origin in, and is impelled forward, by the sentime of nations-by the spirit of the age; they will be BU merged beneath its resistless waves, perhaps, never rise again. Events hove proved that lt would have be? wiser in us to have yielded sooner to inexorable necesf ty, and to have prepared the way for the gradual accor phshmeut of the result which has been forced upon i suddenly, and with so great a shock to society. But if we are to bose our hopes for milder and beth terms of restoration to tho Union upon a reaction of sei ?ment in the masses of the North, controlling the legi lation of Congress, it would seem that our true polk would bo to placo ourselves in that position whero vi will bo able to exert tho greatest ?tiduoaee iu promut i u this reaction. In our present position we exert no ii tl uenoo, either in or out of Congress, in shaping th course of political affairs. But, once admitted into th Union, we become a power in the State. We may the join our true friends there in their efforts to bring th Government back to its ancient landmarks of power, t bring about the reaction hoped for aud so much desired But as I have already said, I haye no coufldoue? in an, change in Congre sn that will promut the offer of mor favorable terms to us. On the contrary 1 very much foo that, ii we should reject tho proffered plan, it will giv political agitators renewed power to exact of us still se vercr terms. The indications are, that any new ciernen of discord introduced by us at this time in thc sett lem eu of this controversy-any exhibition of obstinacy, uiidui pride or resentment on our purl, will likely lead to thi tho adoption of more proscriptive measures, to tho im position of BtRl greater burdens upon us. The disfran chisemcnt of rebel? and thc confiscation of their estate.; j have already been proposed in Congress. Oue of UM I greatest orators and statesmen of England has said, tba I "revolutions are ruvorubleto eonfisculiou," and I firmh believe that no proposition has yet been made, whiel presents so strong au appeal to tho Northern mind, to ib cupidity and passion-', Mau this-to divido our estate; amongst tho soldiers of thc United States as a reward ol their valor and triumph, or to confiscate them to publii usc iu pay meut of the expenses of tho war. This meas, uro is much moro likely to succeed than anv reoclionarj movement, and unless it be pri vented by timely action on our part. I regard it as by no means au improbable result Thc great aim of the party in power, is to secure to larsons of color tho clocare franchise-this is the end they propose. They behove, or atfect to believe, that this measure is necessary to protect those people iu the en? joyment of tho freedom uud civil rights which havo boen conferred upon them. This is the settled conviction of the publie mind at the North, notwithstanding our most solemn declarations to tho contrary, and iu the face of constitutional provisions which we have mode, aud thu laws wo have passed on this subject They havo tho power and, us I have argued, they will curry tlds point. This being then a foregone conclusion, it will be wiser, safer aud more statesmanlike for us at once to yield to tho necessity, while we muy, tuan to contend any longer against it. Where this has been done, the agitation about slavery, which has so long disturbed the country, and has piovcd to bo tho fruitful cause of "all our woe," will have run its course. Tho party which has led and grown upon it will cease tu exist, fall to pieces, or be compelled to save itself upon some other issue, to con? solidate its power upou some other basis. Then the question of self-goverumcnt of the enfranchised race will be put to thu test. Then it will be seen whether the elective franchise, when extended to the descendants of the African race, ignorant uud uneducated as they arc, will contribute lo the preservation of the liberties of the American people, to tho stability of their institutions, und to tho progresa ot civilization. Then the ideas of the age, thc progressive agc in which wo live, aud which havo so long striven fur mastery and eouquost. wUl h. submitted to tho "second sober thought" subjected to theerucible of truth, ont! stand or lull in tho trial. Then, and not till then, may we hopo that it reaction will toke place, that the past will bo reviewed, and its errors cor? rected; tho: these humanitarian theories wiU be dissi? pated by the moro enlightened reason of the times, Uke the mists aud vapors of the inoruing by tho rising sun, Universal suffrage being in my judgment a Axed fact, ? shan "not offer an argument as to its expediency^" whether it will promote lue geiiornl good, or whelnev it is intended or will lead, us. president Johnson says, to "Alricaeizing the southern p?a t bl' our territory." I Will merely say that I do not believe that it will brad to this result-that I believe tho evil will correct itself in the future-that property and intelligence will finally assert li air supremacy uud control over this power in thoSLutc. I also refer to ii aguiu.as additional proof of the progres? sive spirit which cbiuactorixes thc party who now i ur ist upon it. President Lincoln was certainly, during Iiis time, thu exponent ot the animus and opinions ot this groat party, lu his last public speccn, uiude ut thc White House, wheu tho nowa had reached Washington of lien, ral Lee's surrender, he state! thai it bad been objected to'his pol.cy that in fbi Lou.sucta. Govorniuuut, which hid! boen established iu pursuance of ir, negro suffrage-luid not been allowed. And in answer to tiiis objection he said, "I would myself prefer thai I* 'the ek-etive franchise) were now couierred on tho very intel? ligent, aud on those who tcrtttt our caine tu mMittrt." 'This was as far as he was willing to go-what a Htridu hos hie party since taken on this subject 1 The provision iu tho Military lull which disfran? chises, ni the elections to be held iu pursuance ul' it, the classes of persons who ure disqualified trout holding oll.ee by thu terms of tho Cunslituiiuul Amcnamcnt, is considered, and justi:, too, us very objectionable ou the ground if the. injustice of tho discrimination which it makes. The object of this provision was to puuish the leaders, as they aro called, of the rcbolliou, und it proceeded Upon the assuiuptiou, that those who liad been iu public hie, who had held of? fices wbich required that they should take tue oath to sup? port the Constitution of the United .states, were the leaders. Ordinarily . his proposition may hold good. Hut wueu I eay, that euch was nut tho fact iu this case, tho remark is mude particularly in relation to tho secession ul South Carolina. Here, there wero no lea .em in the ruove meut. or if there were, they had nearly ult passed from the stage of uctiou. i he principles which lea to this re? sult au been deeply impiautcd iu thc minds und hearts of tho people by the great men of the State, who came into pu?ho life duriug the first quarter of tho present century-the coutemiio: aries of Webster una Cuy, ami their antipodes iu polities. These ineu, ofwhom Air. Calhoun was the ublest thinker, educated our people ni thc political faith that in our cumpound system ol gov ernmeut, thu States were the sovereigns, and Were united by a compact of union, the Federal Constitution, which when viola led .y Congress, each State, judging for itself, had the righ. to annul, and withdraw lrom tho Union. These meu also taught our people mal Northern majori? ties hau for a long series ol years Icgis.uteti ibr the pecu? liar intoresta uf that section, to the neglect and injury ol' theirs, aud were aiming to abolish slavery in the Mates, and would do so whenever they luid obtained control of of the government. Under the iuflueuco ol these teach? ings, when Lincoln was uiected l'resiuuut, 'hey believed thai ihe only chock upou the exercise ot tue power which thu- nod so long dreaded, hud been removed, and tnat their institutions would be overthrow J. They then rose up as one mau-aud detormiued of their owu voluntary choice to make a practical application ot' tho principles which ana mated them, with ali the leryor ot u religious faith-to make thu experiment of fcccossiou. ll wa' a great popular movement in which tho people sprung ahead ol'their former leaders aud ueinaudcU ui them the action which was takcu. Under such circumstauces, it does appear hard und oppressive that, Where all ure equally io blame, or have incurred equal responsibility; a iliauuetiou suould be made among them iu tho impo? sition of penalties.

There are those who insist thal it is our duty to sub? mit the question of the constitutionality of lue Military Bid to the Supreme Court ol' the United States, and uwait tue decision before any steps aro taken by us towards carrying'its provisions. 1 Uavc little hope that tho conn j wiB entertain Jurhkl ictiou of tile qi'e.-..en. or if it should, that any good will requit from tho proceeiui g. If i urn not mistaken, 'it has 'beeu the doctrine of tho leading statesmen ot this State, that thc Supreme Court of the ?

J have already touched npoB this" pb?it in what I have said ou tho probability ol a reaction at ige North on thu ques? tion. Persons who take this view, it s?um? iii inn, forget or overlook the history of tho Dwinoentuo party. Tue power of that party, au a national party, always, or ul least for many years before tho war, resided in the South. So long , therefore, as the Southern States ie main uurep picseuted inltho Government, that party is destined to re? main in a minority, unless a total cuungo oi public opin? ion should biko place at the North, ll lt was not the very questiou now before us, they"were questiocs aun. to it, growing out of tho same Subject which led to thc disrupturg nf rho Democratic party aud to secession. The party was torn asunder because its Northern wing could not adhere to the "principies pf .tho patty, ami breast the storm of popular sentiment thal was raging there. Accordingly, .Northern Democrats began to irita their sails to the winds, tack about, und filially aband o ned, ss the South thought, the principies or the party in order tn retain powur. Thu result wai that this sacrifice of principle destroyed the unity of tho party without ac? complishing the 'end proposed. Jt would indeed bc strang? after ah th.s, that wo should bO'? bigge nur hopea upou such porty, nut tho truth is, the party uow hus no power, ami never whl have any, un tu me South Ls restored to the Union and returns lo its told.

Tho' State ol' South Carolina is my home, and I foci a deep, abiding interest in all that con [ cerna her prosperity hud the happiness of her people. She was one of the Oki Thi . teen who -trew tho sword m 'Til, ' and tbrew off the dominion of the British Oro wu. And not withstanding her peculiar position in tho past-her iso? lation in thc grout struggle of parties which convulsed the Union In former days-aud although she was the first to ?.ttempt Its' dissolution, ber people now desire that she should Lc restored to her old companions, and that a genuino ami lusting reconciliation may follow thut restoration. Thoy aro required to r,;;.ui't uo political creed nor. to adopt a new one They m'ny remain Stato rlght mun or Democrats, as they lil;e. AU that is re quired of thom ls to be good citizens, obey the Consti? tution ?ml tho laws, and faithfully execute them-tu pro toot the rights and liberties of all who are entitled to pro? tection. They feel now thai their rights ure lusecuro that a government has beeu established over them which is contrary to ad tho ideas cf ireo government which they have inherited from their fathers-that no govern? ment is freo where the military i oner is tho rmi ig power, wintle )t bas ceased to bc the instrument of, and subordinate to, thu dyjl authority-that however mild and just may bc its ?way lu tin.' hands oi hi u who uow holds it over them, there is no security for tl;o future that thc tendency of all irresponsible power is to degene? rate Into tyranny und oppression-that il may fuji hilo tho hands of thus.? who will ubu-e it ami extinguish tho last hopo ot freedom. They therefore aro prepared, in my judgment, to make au earnest effort to escapo lrom existing evils, and take refuge again under I bc broad a-gis of thu Union, in the hopo that u brigit ter doy will dawn upon them--that tho country will enter upou a now career Of pro? pc ri tv-that society aud government will settle again firmly upou their new basis, und that aB the great interests of the country will revive j and flourish-that its agriculture ami commerce will be resuscitated-thut all tim arts of peuce-thut education and moral improvement, will agum scatter their blessings over a smiling land, and that o united peoplo, under a powerful government, will march on? ward to the fulfillment ot their great destiny.

Ou i liurMlay, more confidence was felt aud better prices obtained, ?iud as thu war clouds, which seemed so threatening, were in a Cur way of being blown off, quite un impetus was given lo our market and prices advanced to Site on Saturday for sirict middling, with a corresponding advance in other grades, dosing with wiles of thu week of 5?7 bales, and receipts for saine limo ot 324 bales. The weather for the past week has been very favora? ble to our planting interests, and those who have sup? plies tn make a crop with arc feeling bright and cheerful ; but, alas, too lew are lu this condition.
