COLUMBIA, July 13.-Until the, senatorial election is decided you cac hopo for no record of business in the Legislature. Men, not measures, is now the motto. The contest bas assumed proportions which make even Repub? licans .stand aghast. The amount of reviling -to use a mild term-is fearful, and, if some parties are to be believed, the others are-cer? tainly in a fair road to destruction. Personal character is nowhere. Everything that a man has said or done is remembered, and finds its representation iu t' ?. . Ex? ceeding acrimoniousness prevails, 3 the colored mea on both sides say things which do not' indicate an early christian education. E. W. M.

A meeting of the Mackeyites has ' been held to-night, whereat the elder M. made one of his characteristic speeches and denounced the entire newspaper tiibe. Sawyer is decidedly ahead, however, and unie PS the purse is brought into requisition, will win. The feeling between factious is very bitter, and in lees, than three months will lead to open rupture. I hear that several colored men in the Legislature have determined to co-operate with the De socratic party. LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. THE SENATE. MONDAY, July 13,1863,-Mr. Donaldson, the Senator from Chesterfield, was sworn in, and took his seat. J. J. Wright gave notice of his intention to introduce a bill for the punishment of persons who improperly couvert rands of the State. He said it was notorious that tax-collectors and others were collecting moneys owing to the State in greenbacks, who subsequently ex? changed them for bills receivable and other notes at a large discount, which they paid into the treasury at par, keeping the difference for their own emolument. He proposed that they should be punishable by a fine of double the amount of what they defrauded the government of, with one year's imprisonment. ?. -J. Rainey, (colored), substituted a joint resolution for the appointment of a board of five commissioners to ascertain and report the assets and liabilities of the State, which was read and- ordered to a second reading. J. J. Wright, (colored), moved to take up the resolution memorializing Congress to remove the political disabilities of certain classes o' ci Liz na enumerated in the Constitutional Amendment, which was laid on the table on Saturday last. B. F. Randolph, (colored), seconded the mo? tion to take the resolution from the table, when Mr. Swails moved the indefinite postpone? ment of the motion to take up, which was nega? tived, and the motion to take up was agreed to. Wright then delivered a long Epeech, in which he gave his reasons for introducing the resolution. He said that the time had come when the disabilities of the people of the State should be removed, and that the great object of the Constitutional Amendment was to die franchise so many persons that the States might be restored by the loyal men. He thanked the secessionists for having been the means of givin? the negroes freedom and the franchise, and said : "What is for the interest of one class is for the interest of the other, and if one go down both must go dovrn. '' He alBO said : I presume and know that there are some who will abuse the rfght to vote if their disabilities were removed, but be it remembered that they are amenable to the laws for the manner iu which they exercise that right, and I hope that the election law will b3 made in such a way as to bring them to justice whenever they violate it. Now, Rentlemen, I ask von shall the great mass of our intelligent citizens ot South Caro? lina be deprived of exercising the right of suf? frage for the sake of a few such mean, vile outcasts aa murdered the lamented Mr. Dill? I hope not. It is not my dosi re that the laws of the State should be made for anv peculiar class, but that they should be made for the whole people, and then those violating the laws cannot reasonably complain if tbev are dealt with severely. Every gentleman np this floor knowe that dnring the last two yet the people of this State have peaceably st mi tied to the laws and orders in the Sta Freedom of speech and of the press has pi vailed throughout the State. Considering t education and peculiar training of the sevei classes cf people in this State, their good a; orderly conduct under the new state of affai has not a parallel in the history of natioi Secession is certainly wrong in principle, b sometimes it may be right in practice. T. people of the South were not disfranchis simply because they made war against tl Union, but for' bad conduct after the.war hi terminated. A few unprincipled wretches, their bad conduct, caused the many to be d: franchised. They were of that claes that too lazy to work and too poor and ignorant get a living without work. Wright, it will be borne in mind, is an ed cated negro, fie has the educational whit wash, but shows his blood by abasing and vii tying the white race, whom be fancies that tl negroes will always be able to rule. Mr. Maxwell enid he was opposed to the re olution, and was willing to record hie vote the negative. ' He was opposed to the resoli tion on the grounds both of principle and pol cv. The Constitutional Convention paestd r?solution that they would memorialize Coi Sess to remove the political disabilities of a ose who would petition the Convention to.c it, and after waiting for five weeks but forty < fifty persons availed themselves of this act i grace. The olive branch thus generously ai magnanimously held out by the Conventic was spurned with indignation and scorn, an now we are requested to pasB a wholesale r< commendation for the restoration of thee persons to their political rights. The chi? man of the party for whose relief this measui was intended had. in a recent message, expresi ed opinions decidedly adverse to universal sn frage.. He has also* recommended that tb money appropriated by Congress for an agr cultural college should be given to the Univei Bity of South Carolina, from which the colore man <R io be excluded. And yet this is th doctrine of the party for whose benefit thi resolution is introduced. He was utterly oj posed to it. If these arch traitors want tb clemency of the government, they must bo* their heads to the sovereignty of the peopl and ask for it. Democrats are now formic their line of battle for the ensuing politic) campaign, and it was not the moment to rela the restrictions upon rebels and traitors. Th death of the lamented Dill had'been alluded tc but this was not the only political murder the had been contemplated. Were it not for th extraordinary precautions ho bad adopted h would not have been this day in his place .in th Senate. A deliberate plan had been concocte by some of tbe leading men in hie county t assassinate him, but he was enabled, providen tially, to frustrate it. Was it to be'expect e. then that he would Tote for such a measure a the very moment when these men were re s ? s tin the laws and threatening to overthrow them He wonld resist it to the utmost of his power. B. F. Randolph (colored), said he was or. posed to conferring favors on any man o class who refused to ask for them, and wh was endeavoring to obstruct and overthrow the party who, by this resolution, was aske to bestow them. He was, therefore, opposei to the resolution in its-present shape, an should vote against it.. Mr. Whittemore expressed the hope that th Senate would hereafter have an opportunity c fully discussing this* resolution, and wouli move its reference to the Committee on Disa bilities, which was agreed to. Mr. Hayne submitted a joint resolution tc authorize the Governor to invite proposais fo the completion of the State House; which wai referred to the Committee on Public Build ingB. On motion of E. J. Rainey, colored, the hou for meeting to-morrow was changed to elevo o'clock. Mr, Corbin, from the Committee on the Ju dietary, to which the bill to determine and per petuate the homestead had been referred, re ported it-back to the Senate with a recommen dation thal it do pas*. ?j The bill was read aud,pBS8Tn*-by sections," inc ordered to a second leading. Mr. Corbin, from the same committee, re ported back the bill to validate the laws of thc provisional government of South Carolina with a recommendation that it do pass. Mr. Corbin said be was aware that then were many objectionable laws comprehended in the brief provisions of this law, such as thc slave code; but the committee thought, and he thought, that it was best to embrace in itt scope the entire legislation of the pro visiona. government, and subsequently repeal or modify the objectionable portions of it. By thu means interminable litigation would be prc vented, and questions involving millions ol property would be settled. Tbe bill was reac and ordered to a second reading. ' On motion, the Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF BEPHESENTATIVES. The House assembled at 12 o'clock and the roll was called. Prayer by Rev.

CRATIC PRESS. , The following extracts, with those already published, will give the reader an idea of the present opinions of the Republican and Demo? cratic press, upon the Democratic platform and nomination of Seymour and Blair. [From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Democ arie 1 Mr. Pendleton bas impressed his policy upon the Convention. They have adopted it unani? mously, and with the greatest enthusiasm. Inasmuch as the opposition to him was, in the main, affectedly based upon his financial views, this result is a magnificent victory, and a great compliment to his statesmanlike prescience and sagacity. We can state further from our knowledge of the man, that he will support the candidate of the- Convention, nominated upon that platform, and will use all his influence to secure his success. [From the Cincinnati Gazette, Republican.] Does the Democratic platform mean another civil war ? It declares the acts reconstructing the rebel State governments unconstitutional, revolutionary and void. Does this declaration mean that the Democratic party will disregard those State governments, and' will hold elec? tions separate and apart from them, and will undertake to make a coup dVtaf, and seize the Presidency by these secession votes, provided enough Northern States can be carried to make, with the illegal votes, a show of an election ? Tb is would mean civil war. If that is the game, the people want to know it. The at? tempt to hold elections in defiance of the State governments would be a declaration of war. Io attempt to put a President in office without a regular election and the formal canvass of the vote by Congress, would precipitate civil .war. The land would again resound with the tramp of soldiers and the clasp of arms. Is this the feast to which the platiorm invites us? Does all its acceptance of the results of the war merely lead us to the declaration of another war? [From the Utica Observer, Dekocratic,] NewB which electrifies the nation, makes the home of Horatio Seymour glad beyond power of words to express 1 Horatio' Seymour, our fellow-citizen, friend, neighbor, th a pride of his city, bis country, his Stater and of the nation, is named the next President '-of the United otates by every delegate, from Maine to Cali? fornia, and from Florida to Oregon, in the great National Democratic Convention ! [From the Louisville Courier, ?Democratic.] The Conservative who finds fault with our platform because it does not pledge the pay? ment of bonds in goldrtia*. no excuse for aban? doning the piny ou#fchat aecount, and cannot take refuge amongour opponents. The Demo? cratic platform says unequivocally that the faith-and credit of ffcc po-?/blasai, mas*, bc maintained, not only in its dealings with bond? holders, but in settlement with the humblest man who holds a claim against it. Where the contract says coin, the claim must be paid in coin. In other cases, payment is to be made "in lawful money of the United States." What ls "lawful money" is left to be determined by the courts. But at all events there is to be one measure for all-the same money for the sol? dier and bondholder, the laborer and the capi? talist. [From the Louisville, Journal, Democratic.] Whether or not we shall have Mr. Pendleton himself, we at any rate have got hi3 platform, which is the best part of him; ant* in that sign, under any standard-bearer whom the Convent**, is cap ?i ble o? selecting, we shall conquer. [From the Boston Fest, Demccratic.J With the character an i services ot (he nomi? nees of the Convention, the country is much too fanni ar to require a recapitulation. That they have been placed in their present posi? tions by a national body of delegates is a con? vincing demonstration of their elevated worth and their fitness for the responsible work to which they have been caliea". None who con? fide in the high patriotism of the Convention can raise a question respecting the sterling qualities of the distinguished men it has nominated. Their names will make the union of the Democracy still stronger, invite the in? creased confidence of the Conservatives, and break the thraldom in which Radicalism holds its followers. [From the Boston Advertiser, Republican.] Governor Seymour is an adroit and able man, a Democrat whose fidelity was never question? ed, a thorough-going hater of New England and of New England ideas, and a candidate who can conti ol the foil vote of bis party in his own State. Frank Blair was, of course, noir ?nat cl as a r ward for bis seditious letter printed on tho ove of the Convention, and as a partial compensation to the extreme men who were disappointed by the failure to nominate Mr. Pendleton. But ho is personally obnox? ious to many Democrats. The ticket BO con? stituted IB a defiance to the honest, patriotic and liberty-loving sentiment of the country. It is the more dangerous on account of the ability it represonts, and the unscrupulous partisanship which would constitute tho pow? er behind, if by any possibility it should bo elected. [From the Springfield Republican, Republican.] Though the denouement was rapid, the plot had been skilfully arranged long beforehand. The pronunciamento of Blair was one link of the chain, and hie nomination as vice-Presi? dent fitly closes the scene. A Missouri Aboli? tionist or 1838 nominated in 1868 by Forrest, the Fort Pillow butcher, and Wade Hampton, the South Carolina cavalier, for the Becond place on the national ticket, wa9 a strange eight. General Hampton was condescending, of course. He thought it due to the soldiers of tho North that they should have the Vice Presidency, and he seconded, therefore, the nomination of General Blair. As he took his seat, General McClemand crossed the hall and took bim by the hand amid vocif?rons applause. (From the Providence Journal, Republican] The Democratic National Convention has put in nomination for the Presidency th?* most odious, because the most able, of the Copper? heads who all through the war were persist? ently giving the enemies of the government all the "aid and comfort they could, without ac? tually shouldering a musket in their behalf Horatio Seymour, cf New York. The nomina? tion is a painful surprise to the Democrats in thia State, and they received the news at first with doubt and misgiving. [From the Ptiiadelphia North American, Republi? can.] Mr. Seymour represents the average senti? ment ol his party, which is not Democratic, as its name falsely reports, but Copperhead to the backbone, A more reeklees, desperate, unscrupulous and plausible demagogue could not be found in tho whole length and breadth cf the party than the one thus selected to bethe standard-bearer. Goneral Blair bas no quabfi tion whatever caluclated to fit him for so exalt? ed a post as that of the Tice-Presidency of the United States. His habits have been for years disgiacefully bsd; far worse, in fact, 'than those of Andrew Johnson ever were; and his presence in the chair of presiding officer of the Senate would be a mortification to his country. As a soldier we know little or nothing of his ca? reer that is to his credit. Be had the good fortune to be with successful commanders, but his share of the labor by which success was achieved can hardly be die ting uiehed. [From the Philadelphia Age, Democratic] It is to hie great abilities, to his pure and lofty character, that Horatio Seymour owes this peculiar and unprecedented honor. Ho bas not been allowed to deny himself to the service of his country, at this junet ure, be? cause in bim is recognize!! the special ability now demanded for her service. He is the statesman, the thinker, the administrator to whose ripe wisdom and experience the Ameriean people can safely ttust the helm of State in all the difficult questions tbat attend our future as a nation. Problems of finance and of gov I crament are thoee in which he is best fitted to guide to safe and just solutions. Since the war General Blair has sustained the policv of President Johnson, and ie, in opinion, thor? oughly identified with the Democracy. His views were lately stated in a eulogy upon Hon. Thomas H. Benton, of which we, at the time, laid a portion before our readers. His recent letter commended h im to os, aa it did,no doubt, to the Convention. (From the New Haven Journal, Republican.) Gov.' Seymour is perhaps the ablest man in the Democratic tarty. He has the advantage of an education and of a life-long experience in political chicanery. Had he not been a parti? san he might have been a statesman, but hie training has been in that corrupt and selfish school of politicians that have disgraced New York for a quarter of a century. Of Gen. Blah it is enough to say that he is his own worst enemy. From being a Radical Red Republican he has gradually sunk, with bis failing man? hood, into the ranks of the Copperhead Democ? racy. He can go no lower, and it is improba ble'tbat he will ever rise nigher. [From the Boston Transcript, Republican]. It must he admitted that Seymour, apart from his unquestioned ability, is an admirable exponent of the Democratic party. Pretend? ing to be un anti-repudiator, he is nominated on a repudiatory platform, and can, therefore, be run on the gold or the greenback dodge, ac? cording to tho locality in which he is sup? ported. Consistency and honor are not in de? mand in the Demokratie p:rty, and it has, therefore, done well in selecting for its stan? dard-bearer a man of finesse rather than princi? ple, and who.is unexcelled in the art of giving a plausible aspect to propositions which in themselves are fallacious, unjust or inhuman. [From the Boston Journal, Republican.] We have no doubt we express the entire Re? publican sentiment in avowing our complete satisfaction with the New York nominations. They represent their party well. Mr. 8eymour, though be, as Governor of the great Stat9 of New York, ostensibly lent his support to the war for the Union, was reallv the worst thorn in the eide of Abraham Lincoln, and one of the most obstinate impediments to the success of the loyal- cause. His miserable, paltering course during the draft riots, and his address? ing the brutal murderers as "my friends,'' will never be forgotten-at least during the pre? sent canvaes. His merit, as a nominee, is that he will help bring ont the true issues of the campaign, drawing the lines squarely, and making a fair, stand-up fight. [From the Hartford Times, Democratic.] Governor Seymour's reputation is wider than the Union, and his ability and integrity are be? lieved to be fully equal to the high duties which he will be called upon to discharge. We need not say that we are rejoiced that the nom? ination has fallen upon a true and reliable representative of the Democratic party. With put derogation of the patriotism or'the power of the eminent man who wears the robes of the Chief Justice, we may say that at this juncture it required a Democrat to unite the great parly of the people, and to win. G Dver nor Seymour will be elected. He is one of the two, or perhaps three men whose names hare been before the Convention, of whom this einr be positively asserted. The platform is as sound and strong as the nomination. Both will sweep the West like a whirlwind, and in? deed carry nearly all the Northern States, as well as some of the Southern. IFrom the Hartford Post, Hepub'Jcan.l While unusual ability bas been conceded to Mr. Seymour, be has alwavs been considered a man of no force of character ; possessing great ambition, his vacillations resulting therefrom have made him the obj ec: of much' censure from that class ofjDeniocrats liko Mi'.

While his nomination has prevented any .open row in thc Cuuveurion. the party bas gained notMngt?hat it would not have secured under the IeaU~w*,P^iiiUeton, whose platform he stands op?n. ;TewrH--get the straight Ut mocratic vote and that is alh While Chase, or even English, might have pro? voked more ?

[From the Worcester Spy, Republican.] The Democrats could not have done their work more to the satisfaction of their oppon? ents, nor Eave nominated candidates who could be more easily and surely beaten ac> tao polls. [From the. Milwaukee Sentinel, Bupuulican.] Blood-letting for the UnionistH i f the South; slavery for the negro; repudiation for those who have come forward willi their's means to the aid of their imperilled country. This is the treasonable tripod u|K>n which the New York platform rests, and wuicli is concealed beneath a flowing drapery of plausible prolessi?ns. [From tho ?st. Louis Democrat, Republican.] All the world knows that the body of North? ern Copperhead] b i ve as little desirelto protect tho national honor in peace as they had to sus? tain its flag in war ; that the Southern rebels bate those who crushed them with loans as much as tiiey hate those who crushed them with arms ; that Copperhead and rebel, form? ing four-fifths of every Democratic convention, fool that the interest paid upon the national debt IB the bidge of their shame and the price of their defeat. Interpreted by the aid of these facts, the platform will not be misunderstood. lb means repudiation. It assails the national credit in its resolutions quite as plainly as it assails the peace of the nation in its resolutions regarding reconstruction. It is euch as rebels only should support. [From the Baltimore Gazette, Democratic. \ We coniesB to a feeling of disappointment at the refusal of the Nominating Convention to select Mr. Pendleton as its candidate. He bad more popular strength than any other gentle? man who was named, his fitness for the place was conceded, his political and financial views had been endorsed by the Convention, and it was clear that his name evoked most readily the enthusiasm of the country. We fail, there? fore, to appreciate the soundness of the reason? ing by which the Convention was led to reject him. But while thus regretting Mr. Pendle? ton's dele it, we cheerfully accept the decision of the Convention, and we shall labor strenu? ously to secure lor Govern' r Seymour as large a majority in Maryland as any other State will give, in proportion to its-population. Tho Filibuster JtloTemcnt. THE IT. OG I! AM ME- THE PIAN OF CAMPAIGN ' 'WALT-ETEEET CBEDITOT.B"-THE OFFICEE8. The filibuster, movement againet Mexico, directed from New Orleans, ?B supposed to have been nipped in the bud. Be that as it may, the following from the Rio Grande Cou? rier, of June 30. will be read with interest : Advices received recently in Matamoros and in this place render it certain that a filibuster expedition has been organized in New Orleane, or in irs vicinity, for the purpose of invading Mexico. The force ie Baid to consist of fifteen hundred or two thousand men. They were to havo started some days since, from some point on the Mississippi River, for Corpus Christi or j the Brazos. Their plan ie said to be tbis : To proceed up the country and pass themselves off as work? men for a railroad. They axe unarmed, and will remain eo while on the toil of the United States. Alter pasing over into Mexico they will arm and organize. The first objective ?ointoithe party is said to be Matamoros, hey expect *o get a.lRge number of recruits among the Mencans in the State of Tamau lipas. From Matamoros they intend proceed? ing in the direction of Monterey." Tney design holding the passes in the mountains, and think they can retain possession of the whele country on this side of the Sierra Ma? dre, in spite of the army of Mr. Juarez. They propose holding the mo'uth of the Rio Grande and Matamoros at all hazards. By these means they can briDg in supplies and reinforce? ments. . ThiB movement is supposed to bare origi? nated with the Wall-street creditors of Mexico. ? Thev are reported to have been in corres pondence with Gen. Carvajal. His survey-1 mg expedition may have had something ic do with the matter. A vessel, laden with arms and supplies, waa expected to arrive on the Texas coast some time since. Whether it did or not is not known here. Parties, visible every day in the streets of Brownsville, fora month or so, have not been seen for several days past. Rumor bath it that they have gone to Laredo to confer with Col. Qniroga. If thia ?natter has the importarce eome at? tach to it, no good ia boded to the Juraisras on this side of the Mother Mountain. It will include Gen. Carvajal, Col. Qniroga, Col. Bena.rides and men from the interior of Texas. This force will be well armed. It may be that the whole thing has been ex? aggerated. There ja so. doubt something of tue kind bas been in contemplation. Months since it was reported bera tbat arms bad come across the country from San Antonio, to a Siint near Laredo. In the latter place Col. enavides control. In San Antonio Gen. Car? vajal has property and relatives, and stands well. Companies were at one time on the march to bim from there.

The "outside pressure" upon the constitution and the vital powers at this season ls tremendous. Every pore-of the millions which cover the surface cf the body is a drain upon its substance and ita strength. To meet this depletion-to keep up the stamina under such a constant outflow of dissolving flesh- t:nic?and inv:'gorant is absolutely necessary; and time, that tries all things, has proved that EOS TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS impart a degree of j strength and resistant power tc the over-taxed vital forces, which is unattainable by any other known mean?.

As a safeguard against epidemics, and a preventive of the feebleness, lassitude and \ rostra don, of which so many thoneands complain at this secscn, it has a national reputation founded on twenty-five years of uninterrupted and ..meqnalled success._6_July ll , jfjsyWHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU ? This is the familiar question put to every invalid. . liamany cases, tho answer is, "1 don't know exactly, but 1 don't feel well." Look at thc countenance cf the man or woman who makes this reply, and you will generally find that the eyes are dull and lustre? less, the complexion sallow, the cheeks flacctd, and the whole expression of the face dejected. Interro? gate the invalid more closely, and you will discover that constipation, the result of a disordered stomach and a torpid liver, is at the bottom ol the mischief. 'That's what's the matter."
