SPEECH OT XB. CAMPBELL.
Fellou>-Giilzens: My honored colleague ai
your honored guest having given to you an a
count of the fonoeedings of 4he late Democrat
Convention, hut little is left for me to say
this immense crowd-a throng greater thc
any which has heretofore been congregated c
any public occasion in the City of Charleston
You all know that, the first votes of South Car
fina were given for that persistent patriot, wc
for nearly four years has stood up like a breal
water against the enemies of this governmen
> I refer to Andrew Johnson. (Cheers.) Yoe
approbation is' significant, for when that nam
is anrounced it is of consequence to tho corri
try, to the Sooth, -and to- each one of os i
. have it recorded that the sixty-five votes give
to Andrew Johnson are approved by the peopl
of these States. For myself, I believe tba
wheiitbebistoryot these events istrathfoll
written, ?fl,one day it.andpcbtedly will be, n
brighter nomo will appear upon the page tha
that of Andrew Johnson.- When the clisar,
pointments of .politicians, the intrigues c
office-seekers, aud tho evil associations c
those who have embarrassed hun shall pas
away, the great events of his admicistratio:
will be remembered with: pride by tho Amer
- ican people.
Yon are a ware that our next vote was givei
to G?n?ral Hancock-staunch soldier, wh<
knew how to ase the ?word in the cause, he es
roused, and how to lay it aside and give plaa
! to civil government.
After voting for Hancock several times, i
became evident that he could not ba elected
The representatives of the great States of Ohio
Illinois and Indiana, finding that their own gr ea
statesman of theWest could not receive the norn
ination, determined" to confer it on a man whe
stood prominent among the people of the East,
and insisted opon the nominauon of Horatic
Seymour of ^ ow York. [Cheers.] You know the
. result. It ia a popular notion, but a popular
error, that' it was a contrivance of the man?
aging ooh ticiana of New York to keep Governor
Seymour in the back ground, and at che proper
moment bring him forward as a nominee.
That is a mistake. He is not the nominee ol
* "Wall-street stock jobbers or bondholders; he
.' is not the nominee of New York, but the nomi?
nee of the great West; and we honored the
i choice. Then came the nominee of the candi?
date for the Vice-Presidency; and here I want
to say that that event proves that the con?
quered, down-trodden South, suffering under
-the rule of military satraps, ground to the earth
by a fraudulent and wicked Congress, can bet?
tor frost those who fought against us in the
field than those politicians who were aiding and
?betting the war in civil life.' Ii there is any
man in the country to whom all men eau pin
their faith in this extremity, it is Francis P.
Blair..
Of the opposition candidates it is not be?
coming in a Southern man to speak in deroga?
tory tarma.- - On the contrary, I have reason to
say of Geo. Grant that, with the spirit of a
trae soldier, he? has kept with fidelity the
parole he gave our soldiers at the surrender.
This, I think, is high praise, cons dering hts
present associations. [Laughter and oheers.]
. One word as to the rutare. Your liberties,
your all, depend on united, earnest, unselfish
action. Keep alive the" spirit that brought
you here to-night, and repel all those counsel?
lors who talk of middle ground. They are
traitors to your cause, and yon had better, by
lar, drive them into the ranks of the enemy
than trust to then-counsel. If yon listen to the
talk of those who Bay what is wrongfully done
cannot be undone, -then voa are yourselves
undone, WK efl Gov. Orr tells yon there is no
hope of a change of government, except by
woikin g oat your salvation through the exist?
ing Republican organization, and you listen
to such a counsellor, your are lost beyond re?
demption.
I remember now a scene that took place h ttie
more than one year ago, within the walls of
that graceful edifice now opposite to us, when
?the Gesaler of the South, General Sickles
[hisses], had the audacity to recite the apo?
logue of Ariosto, in which he tells the story of
a beautiful fairy, who was by aa inexorable, law
changed at certain times to a loathsome rep?
tile, and who, when she again put on her celes?
tial nature, awarded her fairest gifts to those
yho bad been true to her in the day of her
i humiliation. Snob, said Sickles, venturing to
tty.the words of Macaulay, is the spirit of Lib?
erty. This speech was ? mockery. It is to?
night a troth. You who had stood by your
principles, who have been kind to the spirit of
liberty ?hen depressed.who have nurtured her,
are about to reap the reward. The satrap has
disappeared, and that Sontii Carolinian who
en cured to. endorse him has tervod you with
Tua valedictory.
In ron elusion, Mr. Campbell addressed him?
self to the colored portion of the audience. He
said he had recently come from a place where
he had heard the philosophy of those who
represented themselves to be the especial ben?
efactors of the Southern race, but who, when
questioned as: to the future destiny of the
negro, quietly fold their arms and declare
that he wal gradually disappear as the red man
has done.- He urged the negross to remember
that th?r bc3t, nay, their only friends, were
their old masters-the white men of the 80
Mr. Campbell was followed by the HOD. 1
D. Porter, who, after a few graceful intro<
tory remarks, read the following resolution
Resolved, That the Democracy of Charle
accept and approve as sound constituai
doctrino the declaration o? principles that 1
stitute the platform of the Democratic pa?t
the country, and do hereby cordially ratify
nomination of Horatio Seymour for Preaid
and Francis P. Blair, Jr.", for Vice-Presid
as fitting exponents of those principles,
worthy standard bearers of the party in the g
battle about to be joined betwet. eonstitut
al liberty on the one hand, and centralism
militarv despotism on the other. And t
pledge* to the ^ upport of the cause and
men their hearty, earnest and untiring f
port.
The Hon. Thoa. Y. Simons was then ca
for, and spoke as follows :
We have assembled in the micros's o
broad national peace. We have assembled
the preservation of the Government, and
for?ts overthrow. We have assembled for
maintenance of the constitution, and to ]
vent its subversion. And this can only
effected by the great and patriotic party wi
Slatform we to-night ratify, and whose c
1 dat es we accept as the standard-bearer
the cause of truth and justice. The De:
eratic party is a party of peaoe, and not of v
Its highest aspiration is the repose of
whole land and the restoration of every SI
to its accustomed laws and rights. Thii
its mission. It has thrown to the bre
the banner of a united land and a conan
fraternity. And by God's blessing thai h
ner will yet float in triumph over mount
and valley, and the notes of victory be he
on either ocean.
The Republican party has no claims UT
the South or the country, lt is sectional, i
national. It was born of sectional strife,
made war upon the rights guaranteed . by 1
constitution and the States, until it placed
hazard the very ex1 st euee and hfe of tile g
eminent itself. It created the late war.
has falsified every pledge it bas made to :
country.
In 1861, when it appealed to the people
the Union to give to it their aid andsuppc
they placed this memorable resolution nj
the record:
Resolved, * * That in this national em
gency Congress, banishing all feelings of mt
?asmonor resentment, will recollect only
uty to the whole country; that this war is 1
waged upon our part in any spirit of oppn
sion, nor for any purpose af conquest or sr
jugation, nor for the purpose of overthrow!
or interferring with the rights or establish
institutions of the States, but to defend a
maintain the supremacy of the constituti
and to preserve the Union, with its digniti?
equality and the rights" of the several Stat
unimpaired, and that as soon as these objet
are accomplished the war ought to cease.
Congress then, as now, was under the co
trot 0? tile Republican party. This was ti
faith which it then plighted to the nat?o
This was the solemn declaration it made in tl
presence of the country and of the whole civ
?zed world.
How that pledge has been kept, let the si
records of the past few years answer. Its vi
Jation is everywhere apparent in prostra
States, subverted constitutions and a disfra:
chised people. It has not kept its faith in
single particular.
One moment the South sheathed the swor
her people with one accord accepted the.i
tegrity of the government, and rendered the
.prompt allegiance to the constitution. Th
moment the Republican party stood pledgt
to grant the immediate restoration of all tl
States lo their ngbte in the Union under tl
constitution and civil government to the Ame
ican people..
S If it had done this, the people of every BS
tion would lons since have been united in
common fraternity, and peaoe, with all i
blessings, would have shed its benign ra]
over a government of coequal and constit?
tioual Sta tee. '
But the Republican party turned its bac
upon its pledges, cast aside the mandates '
justice, and organized a fresh warfare u,JO
the South, under the cover of which it mig!
seize the government and overthrow free 11
stitutione.
.j The result is to be witnessed in a disse vere
land raid a broken constitution.
Scarcely had the people of the Sont h lai
down their arms and accepted the eituatio
when Congress rose in revolt against the Goi
ernmeut ot the United States.
Instead of banishing, it aroused the feeling
of passion and resentment, and inaugurated
fresh sectional strife.
Instead of recollecting alone its whole dut;
to the country, it overthrew the accus tome
jgovernments and laws in ten of the States, an
eclared itself master of the constitutions am
laws of the rest.
Instead of defending the supremacy of th
constitution, it publicly announced, throng!
its leader, that it had "encamped outside c
the constitution." Under its auspices thea
Southern States have been declared the fit sub
jects of conquest and subjugation, their right:
and established institutions have been over
thrown, their people disfranchised, and thei
Ifbarties and destinies committed into thi
hands of an inferior ra:e, under government!
born of the bayonet and of force, and withou
any warrant Bave that which the sword and op
pression confers. We look around and ask thai
the dignity, equality and rights of the severa
States should be unimpaired, and we are mel
with military despotism and negro supremacy
It has, however, not only attempted to destroy
the fabric of States as established by the wis?
dom of the framers of the government, and tc
stifle the Judiciary, but even to lay its unhal?
lowed and violent hands upon the Executive
Department of the government. This its rep?
resentatives have stripped of its prerogatives
and privileges. One step further, ana they
waaia, in their progress to revolution, have
vacated the Presidential chair, placed in the
seat of Washington, Adams and Jefferson - one
of their co-conspirators,?and committed tho
country to anarchy and misrule.
AU honor to those brave and patriotic men oi
whatever name, by whom, in obedience to the
voice of the American people, the hand of rev?
olution was arrested in The very act of seizing
the last citadel which stood between self-gov?
ernment and its destruction.
The real d?sign of the Republican party ad?
mits no longer of doubt. It is to convert itself
into the government. In other words, it is to
declare itself .tho government, without any
checks, limits or restraints, except those im?
posed by its own will and pleasure.
The country never can hase any real peace
under its rule. Its very Iife-breith and organic
law is that of agitation and dissension. Take
this away, and it would die to-morrow, lt is
the enemy of the South. When they asked for
restoration, it turned its States into military
dependencies, and gave to its people disfran?
chisement and penalties.
In the words of the Democratic platform,
"under its repeated assaults, the pillars of the
government ore rocking on their base, and
should it succeed in November next and inau?
gurate its President, we will meet as a subject?
ed and conquered people amid the ruins of
liberty and the scattered fragments of the con?
stitution.''
It is at this juncture of public affairs and at
this period of imminent peril that the Demo?
cratic party, composed of delegates from the
North and the South, from the East and the
West, and in which every State and territory
of the Union is represented, declares these
"acts unconstitutional, revolutionary and void,"
and appeals to the people to vindicate their
liberties and preserve their government.
To that call, fellow-citizjns, we have this
night responded, and by that party we will
aland. Its platform is clear and without eva?
sion, and is well entitled to our hearty sup?
port. It presents solemnly and distinctly to
the American people the great issue of the pre?
servation of their government on the one hand,
md its usurpation by a faction upon the other.
Upon that issue the American people will have
to pass. The contest will decide whether self
government is to be maintained, or whether
these are prepared tamely to surrender their
liberties.
Citizens of Carolina, to us the issue ie vital.
It concerns our freedom, oui- rights, and our
hope?. It involves all that men nold dear. It
bas been well said :
'.There is a bondage worse by far to bear,
Than hie, who breathes, by root, and floor, and wall,
Pent in a t\ rant's solitary thrall.
Tis his, who walks about in open air
One ot a people, who henceforth must-wear
Their fe'tars in their xouZs."
It is from this bondage that the Democratic
party seeks the deliverance of the country.
Napoleon declared tho "Empiro ia-Peace."
The Democratic party, iu tones clear above tho
passions and prejudices of the present, and
which address themselves to every patriotic
heart, declares "The Constitution is Pt ace."
Lat us take this as our watchword and hope.
Let the cry echo and rc-:cho throughout tho
land. Let its voice be heard in every city and
hamlet; let it be taken up from the Penobscot
to the Rio Grande, until the people m their
majesty, and with one acclaim, shall announce,
in the election of Seymour and Blair, 'The
Constitution is Peace."
The Hon A. P. Aldrich was now dis:overed
on the platform, and received an enthusiastic
Dal!, and responded.
SPEECH OF JODOE ALDRICH.
He said that, notwithstanding the many
blunders mode in statecraft,' he never yet
despaired of the restoration of a constitutional
government. Hence he had never surrendered
his State pride, sacrificed his official station or
dignity, or compromised his personal inde?
pendence. Ho was prouder this night of the
consciousness of having defended the ancient
honor and reputation of hie beloved State than
of all the officos that politicians could tender
or time-servers bestow. He was one of those
who had visited New York and the North, and
everywhere he had heard tidings that made
his heart glad, for he knew that the cowards
and robbers who had trampled th* constitu?
tion under foot, blotted oat ten States, and
ruled with the bayonet, were about to be re?
moved from the positions they had degradad.
That the elections would be carried by the
Democratic party in November was as sure as
fate. The leading men of New York, Indiana,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois had so declared,
and, to use the language of the lamented Means
in the days of secession, it was a "fixed fact."
Mr. Vallandigbom had said that Ohio was as
certain for the nominees as New York herself,
and if the Palmetto State desired to stand side
by side with her sisters, young and old, rich
and poor, she must lend her efforts in rolling up
a majority. As Mississippi with a registered
majority of black voters as great as that of this
State had been canied, so might South Caro?
lina. It could only be done, however, by judi?
cious influence brought to bear upon the col?
ored people, by showing them that the Radi?
cals only want offices and money,%nd'oegroes to
give them both.
Like other speakers Judge Aldrich described
the character of the nominees, and conclusively
showed,that they were the best men that could
have beac chosen, and fit representatives of a
party Whose motto is, measures and not men.
i He-said that he had reason to believe that if
at the d?crions in November it should be as?
certained the Jtamocratic candidate had ob?
tained a maturity of the votes of the Union,
they would be inaugurated teyond a doubt,
and he had equal reason to believe that the
Radical party failing to retain the government
by fraud, would attempt to hold it by force.
The only way for the South to avoid such a
collision i was by rolling up such a majority as
would frighten the Badi cale from their pur?
pose, and a determined spirit on the part of
the Democracy to restore tue constitution and
government of our forefathers.
The remarks of Judge Aldrich were fre?
quently interrupted by great applanse. At
their close thc venerable President of the
meeting put the question on the passage of
the resolutions, and they were unanimously
and vociferously adopted.
The meeting then adjourned.
On leaving the stage an attempt was made
to secure General Hampton and raise him on
the shoulders bf the crowd; but his carriage
drove rapidly to the spot and he was soon OP
his way to General Conner's house, on Meeting
street, near the Battery. .The carriage was
followed by a large number of the friends of
the General, who met him at the house and ex?
changed kind greetings.
Thus dosed the proudest political* demon?
stration that has been witnessed in Charleston
for the last eight years.
FROM THE FKDEKAL CAPITAL..
The Washington corespondent of the New
York Journal of Comnrtroe, under date of Us%
21st instant, says:
Hon. Reverdy Johnson goes to-day to An-*"
nap olia to partidpate in a complimentary dm**
nar tendered him by the citizens of the andent
capital of his native State. He will return
here on Wednesday. He has engaged pas . ago
in the Bteamehip Baltimore, which will eau
from the city after whioh she is named on the
1st of August. This ship is one of the Balti?
more and Bremen hue of steamers, which
touch at Southampton. She arrived at Balti?
more on Saturday, with eight hundred G ar?
man emigrants, most of whom were on their
way to the West a few hours after their arrival?
The vessel landed with three more passengers '
than embarked, that number of births having
occurred during the voyage. The papers have
announced that Mrs. Lincoln is to accompany
Mr. Johnson to England on her way to Scot?
land, and that she is now en route for Bal?
timore with that view. We believe this
to be true, as Mrs. Lincoln not long since
wrote to Mr. Johnson, asking permi-sion to
travel in his company to England, a request
which a lees gallant gentleman could not well
have done otherwise than accede to. As upon
the decease of President Lincoln Queen Vic?
toria wrote a letter of condolence to Mrs. Lin?
coln, it ie not beyond the range of possibility
that tho latter may feel authorized to return
thanks in person, if not to become a guest of
her Majesty. While not disposed to criticise
the actions of this poor woman very closely, we
are not unprepared, from our Imo wie dc o of her
peculiar characteristics, t > hear of rather
queer movements on her part, and will be
happy to find ourselves disappointed. We
If .Tn that it is in contemplation by citizens of
Maryland to charter a steamship to accompany
Mr. Johnson ont to sea.
The fellowing extrade from the official re.
port of General Gillern disposes of the Radical
falsehoods concerning the Mississippi elections
It was a fair fight and fairly won. With regard
to the manner in whioh the election was con?
ducted, General Gillern says :
The troops in the State, amounting to twenty
seven companies, were distributed at sixty
three posts and stations; and I may add that
in every instance in which it was reported that
fears of disturbance or interference with the
elections was apprehended, regardless of the
source from which the report emanated, troops
were directed to be present and maintain or?
der, and that no instance of intimidation or vi?
olence at the polls was reported by tho com?
manders of posts or detachments; hut on the
contrary the elections aro reported to have been
conducted in an orderly manner. During the
election commanding officers of the troops were
directed to afford all necessary assistance to
tho civil authorities in tho "preservation of
peace and good order.. At the same time they .
were held respondble that force was only used
when it was absolutely necessary.
In conclusion, Gou. Gillern says :
As is generally the case in elections, fraud is
charged by both parties. All reports and com?
plaints beating on this subject are herewith
transmitted for the consideration of the proper
authority, merely remarking that I am satisfied
that the election was as fair and "freo from in?
timidation or the influence of fraud" as it
would be possible to secure under existing cir?
cumstances, and that no undue influence was ex?
ercised at the polls. If intimidation was used at
all, it was beyond the power of the military to
reach it. As tho defeat ol' frc constitution
renders it possible th<tt tho State may for a
time remain under military control, I consider
it my duty to call attention to the almost im?
possibility of finding persons to fill vacancies
in civil offices who possess the necessary at?
tainments, and who oan qualify under existing
laws. I would, therefore, recommend that sec?
tion 9 of the act passed July 19,1307, be so
modified as to render eligible to office person?
on the list of registered voters, to fill vacancies
which exist or may occur in civil offices, State
or municipal.
The Story of st Pretty Widow.
HOW TO?EjJGINIXB A CLAIM THBOTJGH 0ON
]i GUESS.
twashington Correspondence of Cincinnati Times.
Another widow lady hos been pressing her
claims before Congress, and has also beon
successful, a Her name is Martha M. Jones,
and she is the administratrix of Samuel J.
Jones, her husband, who obtained a patent
some years ago for an improvement in zinc
paint, which patent bis widow desiros to have
extended. She is possessed ol'indomitable per?
severance, is good-looking, intelligent and
highly educated. She stated her own case to
the House Committee on Patents, and the bill
she was interested in passed tho House and
wont to the Senate. She knew if it was not at?
tended to quickly it would go over to the next
session, and perhaps might not be acted upon
for a year or two. Consequently, on Wednes?
day afternoon she took a position io tho mar?
ble-room, and sending her card to various sena- 5
tors, succeeded in gaining au interview with
each one: for as one would come out to con?
verse with her she would request him to send
out another, and in this way she stated her
case to all personally.
She was a lady of winning ways, and worked
upon the susceptibilities of th? grave and dig?
nified senators till bhe succeeded in gaining
ul] in her iavor except Senator Willey, of West
Virginia, who stoutly opposod the bill. Ile
was alone in his glory, however, for when the
vote came :o be taken he was the oulv one op?
posed, while all the rest were in favor of the
bill, which of course passed, and tho ladv wont
on her way rejoicing. In the course ?f tbe
debate Senator Willey "twitted" his feliow
scnatora for hoing captivated with the intelli?
gent and vivacity of the lady who had BO do

piece of earcrem caused quito a laugh amorg I
;the grave and dignified" legislators, all cf
hom "aoknowledge the corn," and Reverdy
Johnson frankly admitted that he felt a great
admiration for the lady.- The most amusing
part of the debate waa Senator Willey's "effort
to prove inconsistency upon the lady in her
statements before the Patent Committee, of
which Willey is a member.
In her written statement ?he set forth that
her beloved husband, Samuel Jones, was deeply
distressed in mind one night, and could not
sle?p. About midnight he jumped up. exclaim

She begged him to come to bed, but he walk
ed the floor all night, and in the morning made
a practical test of his invention, which BUC
ceeded even beyond his expectations. This
was all very pretty; but Senator Willey insist?
ed upon it there was a material discrepancy in
the statement, inasmuch as the Samuel Jones
aforesaid had applied for and obtained a paten,
in England for the same invention two years
before this affecting incident occurred 1 lt
was no use talking, however, against the ap
peals of a good-looking and interesting widow,
so the worthy senator had all the opposition
