ISA VG URATIOS OF GO VERSOR SCOTT. HTS ADDRESS IN FULL. DOINGS OT THE LEGISLATURE. [BY TELEGRAPH IO THE DAILY NEWS,] [FEOM OUB OWN BBPOKXEB ) VCOLUMBIA, Thursday, July 9.-Governor Scott was inaugurated at 12 o'clock to-day, in the presence of the Senate and House of Re? presentatives and ? large audience. The oath of efnee was administered to him by Dr. Mackey, the President of the Convention. Tire new Governor then proceeded to deliver his INAUGURAL ADDRESS. He spoke as follows: GenUemenjof Hie Generil Assembly: The cir? cumstances under which we meet makes it pe? culiarly fitting that we should recognize the hand of Divine Providence not only in the great and painful change? of the past, but es? pecially in the important events which have re? sulted in the meeting of this -General Assem? bly.' On entering upon the duties of my office, it is right that I should state in general terms the* principles which will control me in admin? istering the affairs of the State. It would be affectation not to recognize the peculiar circumstances under which I have been elected Governor, and which must necessarily have great influence in shaping my course. Let me say that I have no doubt as to the validity of all the proceedings which have been bad under the Reconstruction acts of Congress, and that I assume this office after aaving been elected by a large majority of the rotes of the voting population of the State, with the full determination to exercise all the powers belonging to the position with the purpose always of promoting th; best interest >f the whole people. But, while I believe that in my election the ?nil of the majority of the people of South Ca? rolina has lound a fuller expr?s -m than ever jefore in her history, t am, at the same time, iwaro that an influential minority of her peo? n's view the acts which have resulted in the adoption of the constitution under which we issembled, and my election to the office of Governor, as in violation of their constitutional lghts, and that they, more or less, earnestly nd honestly look forward to the time when hese, and aB other acts done under the au? thority of the United States Government since he c loee of the1 war, shall be declared null and cid. It is never wise, in any community, for the najority to treat with indifference or tmneces ary rigor the opinions and wishes of the ainority. In a community like this, where oe ie ty is being completely revolutionized, and rhere, as the result of that revolution, soreness md bitterness of feeling necessarily exist ?rnong the former ruling class, it is of the very tnt importance that we who represent the najority o? the people shall exercise great ooderation and forbearance in all that we do, o' \hat we may disappoint both the hopes and ears of those who have prophesied concerning is a different ree ul t. For my own part, while I shall, within the he scope of my powers, firmly and consistently ?airy out the principles of freedom laid down n the constitution, and jealously seek to main? ain the rights of the poorest and the humblest itizen of the State, I hope to be ab!e to do thi s Intyin such a manner that large numbers of hose who now stand aloof, foreseeing only evil o the State,will, as time rolls on, realize tbat the ixtension of equal rights to thoso hitherto leprivedof them, instead cf injuring the State, iroduces contentment and peace-conditions ?recedent to the growth of an intelligent, strong ind prosperous people. Had I not supposed that something could be lone in this direction, I never would have Iced to accept this trust at the hands of the leople. There ?3 a class of citizens who will, proba? bly for many years, be unable to contentedly idapt themselves to the new order of things; rat I confidently believe that this class is very ?nail, and that as time passes it will become ?till smaller and less influential. With the jreat majority, however, wise laws justly ad ninisteied will have the effect of reconciling them to tbe new government, affd I have no ioubt that in a very short time we may, upon the great essential principles of social order and political freedom, be a happy and united-| people. Upon you, gentlemen of the General1 Assembly, will fall a large Bhare of the respon? sibility which rests uood us a'l for the security of the future. You will pardon me, therefore, if I urge upon rou the exercise of great care, purity and mode? ration in all that you do. The constitution adopted hy the peopl? the State must be your guide. Whatever i perative duties it devolves upon you, must performed without quah?catibn, but.generi the constitution is confined to the. statem< of certain fundamental principies which are for yon and the people to apply, as time i circumstances may demand. And BO long as no man's rights or libert; imperilled by delay, it is -wise in matters legislation "to make haste Blowly." The wisdom and moderation that char act ized the Convention which framed our Com tiitioD, argues favorably as to the future leg la ti on of tbe State. I pray you to.remember, in all of your i tions as a legislative body, that you are to ci for th? wants of the whole people, without gard to class or 'condition. While nothi should be done in a spirit of revenge, BO should be equally careful to avoid anythl which might be construed into servility or c< cession to unworthy demands. It is, however, upon the people at large tl the heaviest responsibility for the future mi rest.' Constitutions and laws amount to noi ing unless they are sustained by a, virtue and intelligent people. A community comp? ed of people who, on the one side are fxactidt fault-finding and suspicious, and on the oth< credulous and indifferent, cannot expect to e joy either peace or prosperity. The Congress of the United States has do all it can do for us by legislation. It has en bled us to form and adopt a constitution whi secures to all men equal rights; and to orga ize a government under that constitution. "V mast, do the rest ourselves. By wisdoi forbearance one with another, sobriety, indu try, and education, we may build up a 8ta worthy of the great nation of which we nc form an indissoluble part, and fruitful of i blessings to ourselves and posterity. From this place I venture to ask the poop of South Carolina of all cia-ses and conditio] to devote themselves earnestly to the prom tion of good will and harmony. So far as possible and consistent with duty, let ns for? the past, and looking only to the present ai the future, etrive,with cheerfulness and hones of purpose, to make ourselves worthy recip enis of the blessings which will surely fie from a free government. When the Governor had concluded, his ai cession to office was honored by the militai authorities with a State salute of ninetee guns, and the town bell was rung to c?l?brai the event'. Ex-Gavernor Orr accompanied Gov. Seo during the ceremonies of the inauguration. In the Senate to-day Governor Scott's mei sage was read and ordered to be prrntet [The message is given in full in the suppl* ment of to-day's issue.] J. J. Wright (colored), introduced a resolt tion pzoyiding that the General Assembl sh raid memorialize Congress to remove a disabilities now attaching, under esistin laws, to citizens of the State. A bill reorganizing the County Courts an ! validating tbe lawB of the provisional govert meut received its first reading. Adjourned. In the House, tbe question of privilege witl regard to the seats of the contested district was settled by a vote of eighty-four to twenty seven in favor of allowing the seats to be.occa pied by the persons holding Genial Canbw's cer tificates of election. The colored element o the House showed itself especially temperab in this matter. The Constitutional Amendment was th ci ratified; yeas. 108, nays 10-the Democrats onlj voting in the negative. A.N J. Ransier ant Reuben Tom bn son voted in favor of a protea against the'disabling clause. A committee was appointed to select anothei hall for tbe use of the House. An unsuccessful effort was made to ad? journ over until Tuesday. The supporters of Dr. Mackey for the sen atorship, evince the most bitter antagonism towards Governor Scott. The latter, it is un? derstood, supports Sawyer. INTERESTING DETAILS BY MAIL. [FEOH otra own BXPOBTXB.] COLUMBIA, S. C., July 8.-The Legislature to-day accomplished nothing. The Senate showed a little party chicanery by attempting to hold men who dared to differ with the ma? jority responsible on a charge of perjury for voting against the Constitutional Amendment. The House lost itself in a maze of parliament? ary cobwebs, which neither Cushing's Manual, nor F. J. Moses, Jr., could unravel. The attempt made to prevent the Anderson delega? tion from taking their seats was bold and de? termined, but it failed, and, in f ailing, showed emphatically that Dr. Mackey, who was on or near the floor, has not the same strong bold upon the judgments of men which enabled him to control the Convention. I hear that he considers bia chances for tho United States senatorship very much diminished, some of his bencher men "having either gone to the other side or proclaimed a strict neutrality. The inauguration of Governor Scott will take place to-morrow, at twelve M. The inaugural is a mild and conservative paper-well prepared, and calculated to pro? duce good results. All the officers of the late State government have waited upon him, paid their respeots, and offered such generous assistance that the new Governor must have been agreeably 'disap? pointed in tbe character of his reception. I hear that a movement is already on foot (o extend the Blue Ridge Railroad through Edge field, and that the Ashley Railroad Company contemplate bui'ding a short line which will add greatly to the commercial advantages of Charleston. The new Governor ?B evidently a progressive man-practical, full of energy, and is deter? mined to rear a monument to hie administra? tion that will endure. PROCEEDINGS OF WEDNESDAY, JULY 8. SENATE. Mr. Hoyt submitted a resolution for the ap? pointment of a committee of five to inquire and roport, whether the senators who voted yesterday against the adoption of the Consti? tutional amendment, did not violate their oaths and commit perjury, and also fo recommend what action should be taken in the premises. The resolution was not seconded. B. F. Randolph, irom the committee to in? quire into the locality and accessibility of the State Library, reported that it was conveni? ently localed and was accessible to the Senate. Mr. Foster, senator from Spartanburg, was qualified and took his seat. A resolution waa adopted empowering the President to invite State officers and distin? guished persons to seats on tbe floor. Mr. Corbin, having jcalled Mr. ffnittemore to tho chair, gavo notice of his intention to in? troduce a bill for the organization of Countv Courts. R. H. Cain submitted-the resolution previ? ously offered by Mr. Hoyt, to inquire into the -conduct of senators who voted against the Constitutional amendment, which was seconded by Mr. Hoyt. On motioh of J. J. Wright, tho resolution was laid on the table. On motion of R. H. Cain, the President was directed to ascertain whether the State Solici? tors are required to attend the meetings of the General ABBembly. ' The chair announced the following standing committees : COMMITTEE OK AGRICULTURE- Senators Dixon, Owens, Hayes, Wimbush and Rogers.

Pr BLI c BUILDINGS-Sen s tore Dixon, Buck and Arnim. ON RETRENCHMENT-Senators Coghlan, Rai? ney and Refd. Mr. Corbin gave notice of hie intention to introduce an act validating the ac's of the pro visonal government of South Carolina. fi. F. Randolph submitted a' joint resolution that all offices held by persons disfranchised by the fourteenth article Of the constitution be declared vacant, and that the Governor be authorized to Hil such vacancies until elections shall be ordered,. On motion of Mr. Wright, referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. On motion of Mr. Corbin, the communica? tion of Ex-Governor Orr was referred to the appropriate committees having charge ot the subjects of which it treats. Oi motton of Mr. Arnim, a committee of five was appointed to frame rules for the govern? ment of the Senate. t R. H. Cain subaritted a motion to inquire whether a m-re convenient place could not be provided for the meetings of the General As? sembly, which was laid Cn the table. The Sen? ate then adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. COLUMBIA, July 8.-The House was called* to order at 12 M. James W. Hayne, of Barnwell, retested to act as Secretary pro tem. Ht. J. B. Dennis reported that the commit I tee appointed for the parp?se had waited upon the Senate and notified that body that the House was ready for business. Mr. Neagle offered the following : Resolved, That when the House adjourn it adjourn to meet at 10 o'clock A. M. to-morrow; that the inauguration of his Excellency Gov? ernor R. E. Scott take piece at 12 M., and that a committee of five be appointed to make suit? able arrangements therefor. The Speaker appointed as committee Messrs. Neagle. Smiley, Miller, Zekiel and Smith. W. J. Whipper rose to a question of privi? lege. He held in his hand the certificates of tue election of John Wilson and John' E. Moore, elected from the County of Anderson, hut ndf^yet admitted to their seats. He de- - sired to call the attention ot the House to the fact that these gentlemen were as much en? titled to their seats as any member on the floor; their certificates were precisely the same as his own and others, and until evidence to the contrary was elicited, of which none bad been offered, they were m fact .members of this body. Whatever might be their political sentiments, or however much they differed with the views entertained by the majority, justice demanded that they should have their places on the floor. Not to admit them was to establish a dangerous precedent, and to keep the gentlemen in waiting outside, while the matter was undergoing the investigation of a Committee on Privileges and Elections, which might not report for several weeks, was to per? petuate a wrong for which no excuse existed. Indeed, it was a question whether any election in the House, un o er the circumstances, would not be illegal. R. C. De Large mored that the credent'als' and protest be referred to the Committee on Elections. W. J. Whipper moved that the two mem? bers/rom Anderson he allowed the privilege of the floor. A. J. Ransier said if an error had been committed by the previous action of the House he would gladly rectify it, but it ought to be done independently ofvhe efforts of the gentleman from Beaufort, and by a commit? tee. B. A. Bozeman, of Charleston, contended that the gentlemen fi om Anderson bad as much right to the floor as himself, and any one could question his presence on the floor with as mu ch propriety a? to refuse to admit them. W. J. ?Whipper withdrew his motion. [It now became evident that the admission of the two members from Anderson was to be made a test of the strength of the several par? ties to the senatorial election on the floor, namely the Sawyerites, Xackeyites and Frenchmen. Every dodge known to the par? liamentarian, all sorts of quibbles, points of order, and motions* were made, until the speaker, House, and spectators were lost in a ? muddle. And they did not get out of it np to the hour of adjournment. Without being able to assign any reasons for it, in fact agreeing with their opponents that the gentlemen ought to be admitted, the Mackeyites fought with all the strength of-desperation to have the subject buried in a committee and the two members in question prevented trom partici? pating in the approaching senatorial election. De Large and Ransier were the spokesmen of the Mackey party, but Randolph, Whipper and Jencks threw them on every "round," not? withstanding the efforts of the speaker were clearly in sympathy with the other side. Three hours were consumed in this sort of bantering, when just as Elliot (who with Whipper is sharing in the leadership' of the House) was preparing a resolution that would cut the Gor? dian knot, the hour of tbiee arrived, which under the adopted rules ^quired an adjourn? ment; consequently the question again comes up to-morrow.] THE NEW YORK CONTENTION. THE PLATFORM-BEADING OF THE RESOLUTIONS HOW THES WEBE RECEIVED. ' The New York correspondent of the National Intelligencer, in noticing the scene in the Con? vention when the platform was adopted, says : The Committee on Resolutions announced tn eir readiness to report, ? and the reading of the resolves was begun amid the most intense interest in all quarters. Mr. Murphy, of New York, read the resolu? tions. The 'first resolve, in reference to tho rights of tbe States, with its preamble, had a real Jackson ring, and WBB ratified by loud ap? plause. Part of the second resolve "inclines to a general amnesty, and wan received with even a more cordial attestation ; but when tho third (greenback) resolution was read, tbeloog, ear? nest, enthusiastic applause of the entire Con? vention and audience proved to the simplest observer that an issue living, vital and broad had been reached. The trac keynote to thc popular heatt had been struck. Tho doctrine of this resolution and its adjuncts would carry New York to-d^f by ono hundred thousand ma? jority* When these thrnders of applause bad ceas? ed, the fourth resolve, in favor of equal taxa? tion, was read with ?qually general applause. The fifth resolution, declaring the demanding of currency for the p docer, soldier, laborer, the people, and thc bondholder, was read amid such enthusiasm as I have never seen surpass? ed. The sixth, seventh and eighth resolutions were applauded, especially tho one touching the rights of naturalized citizens. Then followed the resolve denouncing theRadii il party, which was most happily worded; the most telling points wero at once roted und appreci? ated; the compliment to the Chief Jus? tice was loudly applauded, and ?he denun? ciation of the Reconstruction a ts aB revolu? tionary and void drew forth such applause that a halt again became necessary. The rei ognition of the debt due to the soldiers and Bailo/s of the republic was seized upon for cordial cheering, and the plank in favor ot the actual settlers of the public domain also took well. The resolution thanking President Johnson got loud anr' long applause all over the vost chamber, and Lt tbe close, when the right (hand of fellowship was held out to every Conservative who will operate in restoriog the Constitution i Union, without regard to antecedente, whole Convention rose to their feet, with wildest enthusiasm, as one man, for sev minutes. It was truly a'good time aire come. A shrewd Radical turned to me said they have done it. they have hit the i right on the head; and anybody could se? once that the platform embodied the deej and broadest yearnings of the ponular he and that it would sweep the country like a nado. It was in itself an anticipation of tory. The platform of to-day has sealed the fat Radicalism, and marked the line in which Government wrll be administered after the of March next. GOV. BEYilOUS'e RELUCTANCE TO ACCEPT : NOMINATION. The following are the words uqed by G Seymour, declining the nomination, dur the fourth ballot, in the Convention : I trust I maybe pei mi tied now-to mali single remark. Very much to my surprise name bas been mentioned. I must not nominated by this Convention, as 1 could : accept its nomination if tendered, which I not expect. My own inclinations prompted to decline it at the outset. My honor comp me to do so now. Now, while I am gratif for any expression of kindness, it must be c tinctly understood that it ie impossible, o sistently with my position, to allow my name be mentioned in this Convention against i inclination. FEB BOKAL APPEARANCE OF TEE NOMINEE. The following sketch ot the personal appe ance* of Governor Seymour, as he took t chair of the.Convention, will be read with ] cuJiar interest: The temporary chairman of the Con vent ic Henry L. Randall, has just retired from t seat behind the tribune, and a man wearing dress-coat, with his head bare, advances themain aisle of the hail, amid a tremendo storm of cheers, arm-in-arm with Govern Bigler, of Pennsylvania, and General Wa Hampton, or South Carolina. This man is Hoi tio Seymour, twice Governor of the State of N< York, and to-day ranking as perhaps t ablest man in the D?mocratie party. Ascendii the platform he looks around for a momei and aa he stands now we will bring out h salient points as they appear to us. Sey mo; is dressed in the old style shad-belly cos which is buttoned across his chest, leavii ing open a diamond-shaped portion of irr proachahle white Unen and a very neat arranged black neck-tie of moderate dime: si one. The head is well shaped, and eet grac fully back on a firm pair of shoulders, and tl lower part of the face, below the eyes, is almo a perfect oval. The eves are of a bnlliai brown color, and shine like diamonds beneat a firmly balanced forehead, which is bald-tb baldness extending back as far as the bac part of the skull. The mouth is pleasant an mobile, and, when Seymour smiles at you, th feeling produced is a genial one. This is a cultured man. a man of free taste and high purposes, a man of elegant dictio and also of po weiful analysis. The skin of th face is sallow, and a thin seam of white whii kera encircles the throat under the chin. Wh is it tbat all men of mind or mark in th world's struggles have this peculiar sallo skin. It bas always been an accompanimen if not an indicator of genios. The Ctssan Napoleon, Frederick, Tully, Turenne, Die raali, Henry Clay, Webster, and many other of similar celebrity, have bad, or have sa low skins. The drees of Seymour ie in pei feet accordance with good taste, for He ratio Seymour is a gentleman, first, last and all the time. When he makes a gesture it is dignified, and yet graceful. His voice slightly impaired yestsruky^by a bad cold, i correct in its intonations, full, and. when ar proaching a climax, resonant. The -bandi when lifted in air, are white like a womau'e and the fingers slenderly shaped. Whe speaking, all eyes and ears are turned his waj and his influence on a large body of men i magnetic and thorough. His long and stead fast adherence to Democratic, principles, hi persistence in the right, through good and il report, has made the name of Horatio Seymou a dear one to all Democrats. To the humbles man in the party he ii courteous, polite, an kind in his manner. His knowledge of pariia ment arv law is full. His manner of recogniz ing a delegate on the floor is all that could b desired; and no man in the house ever looks a him for five m'e?tes without feeling that he i worthy of being the chairman of the Conven tijn. THE VIEWS OF THE DFMODBATTC CANDIDATE Ol NATIONAL ISSUES. We give, as matter of especial interest a this time, the more important passages of Gov Seymour's speech on assuming the Pr esk] enc; of thc Convention. After returning thanks foi the honor conferred he said: It is not a mere party triumph we seek. W< are trying to save our country from the dang era which overbang it We wish to hit off the perplexities and the shackles, [which, in the shape ?f bad laws and crushing taxation, novi fiaralyzes tbe business and labor of our land, Loud cheers.] We hope, too, that we cac give order, prosperity and happiness to those sections of our country which suffer so deeply to-day in their homes, and in all the fields o'i their industry, from the unhappy events of the Jost eight yearsY I trust actions will show that we are governed by earnest purposes to help all classes of our citizens. Avoiding harsh invective against- men, we should keep the public mind fixed upon the questions which muet now be met and solved. [Cheers.] Let us leave the past to the calm judgment of the future, and con? front the perils of the day. [Cheers.] We are forced to meet the assertions in the resolutions put forth by the late Republican Convention. I aver there is not in this body one man who bas it in his heart to excite so much of angry feeling against the Republican party as most be stirred np in the minds of those who read these declarations in the light of recent events, and in view of the condition of our country. In the first place, they con? gratulate the perplexed man of business, the burdened taxpayer, the laborer, whose hours of toil are lengthened out by the growing cost of the necessaries of life, upon the success of that reconstruction policy which has brought all these trials upon them by the cost of its military despotism and the corruption of its bureau agencies. In one resolution they denounced all forms of repudiation as a national crime. Then, why did they put upon the statute-books of the na? tion the laws which invite the citizens who bor? row coin to force their creditors to take debas? ed paper, and thus wrong him out of a large share of his claim, in violation of the most sol? emn compact? [Loud cheering.] If repudia? tion is a national crime, it is a crime to invite all the citizens of this country thus to repudi? ate their individual promises. [Applause.] Was it not a crime to force the creditors of this and other Slates to take a currency at times worth no more than forty cents on the dollar, in renayment for the sterling coin they gave to build roads and canals, which yield such ample returns of wealth and prosperity ? [Ap? plause.] Again, they say it is due to the laborers of the nation that taxation should be equalized; then why did they make taxation unequal? Beyond the injustice of making one class of citizens pay for another the shares of the costa of schools, of roads and ol' the local laws which protected their lives and property, it was en unwise and hurtful thing. [Cheers.] It sunk the credit of the country, as unusual terms, always hurtful to the credit of the borrower, do. They also declare the best policy to" diminish our burden of debtis to improve oar credit, that capitalists will seek to loan us money at lower rates of interest than we now "pay, and must continue to pity so long aa repudiation, partial, total, open or covert, ia threatened or suspected. Then why have they used foil $500, 100,000 ot the taxes drawn from the peo? ple of this' country to uphold a despotic mili? tary authority and to crush out the life of the States, when if this money had been used to pay our debts, capitalists would now Beek to lend us money at lower rate* of interest ? But for this covert repudiation our national credit would not be tainted in the markets of the world. [Applause.] Again, they declare of all who wero faithful in the trials of the late war there were none entitled to more especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen who en? dured the hardships of campaign and cruise, and imperilled their lives in the eervice of the country. The bounties and pensions provided by the laws are obligations never to be forgot? ten. The widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people-a sacred trust bequeathed to the nation's care. How have tnese sacred trusts been performed ? They pay to the morned man, to the widow or to the orphan a currency whicn : ney nave erma one-quarter below its rightful value by their policy of hate, of waste, and of military des? potism; the pittances paid to the wounded soldiers axe pinched down twenty-five per cent, below the value of that coin which be had a fight to expect. [Loud cheering.] ls there no covert repudiation in this? [Ap? plause.] Again, they say foreign immigration, which In the past has added so much to the wealth, development and resources and in? crease of power to this republic-the asylum of tbe oppressed of all nations-should be foster? ed and encouraged by a liberal and just policy. Is this foreign immigration fostered by a poli? cy which, in cruel mockery of laws just passed, declares eight hours to be a legal day's labor? But the coat of government ana of swarms of officials so swells the cost ot living that men mast toil oil to meet these exactions. [Cheers. J The time was when we could not only invite Europeans to share with us the material bless? ings of our irreat country, but, more than tbat, we could tell those who fled from oppression that we lived under a government of laws ad? ministered by the judiciary, which kept the bayonet - and the sword in due subordination. [Cheers.] We could point to a written constitu? tion which not only marked out the powers of government, but with anxious care secured to the humblest man tbe rights of property, of person and of conscience. Is immigration en I couxaged by trampling that constitution in the dust, treating it with contempt, abseiling the judiciary, insulting the Executive, and giving all the world to understand that the great guar? anties of political and social .rights are des? troyed? [Great applause.] But the crowning indictment against the . tollies and crimes of those in power is in these words : "Tbat we recognize the great principles laid ?down in the immortal Declaration of Indepen? dence as the true foundation of democratic government, and we hail with gladness every effort towards making these principles a living reality on every inch of American soil." If within the limits often States of this Union an American citizen, stung by a sense of his wrongs, should publicly and truthfully de? nounce the men in power, because in the very language of this Declaration of Independence they have elected a multitude of pew offices and sent hither a swarm of officers to harass'our people and eat out their substance, he wou 1 cl, m all human probability, bo dragged to a pris? on; or if, in the indignant language of our fathers, he should exclaim, "They have affect? ed to render the military independent of; or superior to, the civil power; they have abolish? ed the free system of English laws and estab? lished there an arbitrary government," for the offence of asserting these principles he would be triad and punished by a military tribunal. Having declared that the principles of the Declaration of Independence should be made a "living reality on every ?cb of American soil," they put in nomination a military chieftain who stands at the head of that system of despot? ism that crushed beneath its feet the great? est principles of tbe Declaration of Indepen? dence. [Cheers.] To-day, in some of the States, it is held by military orders to be a crime to speak out the indignation and con? tempt which burn within the bosom of patrio? tic men. It to-morrow a military order ehoald be put forth in tbat State where the ashes of Washington ?rc entombed that it should be an offence to declare that the military should ever be subordinate to the civil authority, to speak out the sentiment that it was a disgrace to our country to let hordes of officials eat up the sustenance of the people, he who nitexed these words could be dragged to prison from the very grave where lie the remains ol the author of the Declaration of Independence. [Load cheers.] From this outrage there could be no appeal to tbe courts, and the Republican candidate for the Presidency has accepted a position which makes the rights, and liberties of a large share of our people dependent upon his will. [Ap? plause.] In view of these things, can there be ono man in this Convention who can let a per? sonal ambition, a passion, a prejudice, turn him asile one hair's breadth in his efforts to wipe off the wrongs and outrages that disgrace our country? [Cheers, j 'Can there be one man whose heart is so dead to all that is great and . noble in patriotism, that he will not gladly sac? rifice all other things for the sake of his coun? try-its liberties and its greatness? Can we suffer by prejudices growing out of past differ? ences of opinion to hinder ns uniting now with all who w ll act with us to save our country? [Cheers.] We meet to-day to see what meas? ures can be taken to avert the dangers which threaten our country, and to relieve it from the toils and burthens resulting from bad govern? ment and unwise counsels. I thank God that the strife of arms has ceased and that once more in the great Conventions of our party we can call through the whole roll of States and find men to answer to each. It is among the happiest omens which in? spirit us now that those who fought bravely in our late civil war are foremost in their de? mands tbat there shall be peace in our land. The passion's of hale and malice may linger in meaner breasts, but we find ourselves upheld in our g?nerons purposes by those wbo showed true courage aud manhood on the fields of bat? tle. [Cheers.] In the spirit, then, of George Washington, and of the patriots of the revolu? tion, lee us take the steps to reinaug?rate our government-to start it once again on its courbe to greatness and prosperity. [Loud cheers.] May Almighty God give UB the wis? dom to carry out our puiposes, to give every State of our Union the blessings of peace, good order, and fraternal affection. Mr. Seymour closed amid great cheering.

Mr. Bald? win is a thorough business man, and will, doubtless, fill the office to the satisfaction of the citizens, although bis time will be short. The Newberry Herald says: The weather continues sultry and dry-superlatively so. For sis or seven weeks our district has not been blessed with a general rain ; and the young corn wilts under the scorching rays of an almost torrid sun. In some sections around in the circle, the planters have enjoyed good seasons; bnt here, in the focus, it does not rain: it is an arid wa6te. Fears are felt by many that tho present year will be a dry year, and similar to that of '45. We can only hope and trust not. Our poor section needs a full harvest. -Sale day at Anderson is thus noticed by the Intelligencer: "A goodly attendance of people on Monday last in honor of the monthly sales: everybody dull and quiet; nothing new, novel or interesting from the country, beyond the cheering fact that partial rains visited some portions of the diBtr:ct on Sunday; folks not wholly discouraged yet, though the" drought is now alarming in many sectionH.
