THE TIMES ON THE POLITICAL PASTIES IN
THE UNITED BTATES.
LOKDOH, October 15.-Mr. Gladstone com
nv -iced the political canvass in Lancashire
with an able speech at Warrington, in which
he denounced the Tories for their financial po?
licy, and for their course on thc Irish Church
question. The Times thio morning has an
editorial on the attitude of tho parties m the
United States io regard to tho national debt.
It says, admitting that both tho Republican
and Democratic parties contain large factions
who urge the payment of the principal of tho
debt in paper, an American statssmtn, in the
present vagueness of the 1 AW, md in the crav
' ing necessity for economy, may conscientious?
ly hold that view. But, tbo Times argues,
should this policy be carried into practice, the
credit of the country would besodeoply in?
jured that for all future loans the United
States would bo obliged to pay a higher rate of
interest than six percent.; so that thoy would
lose in the end, and thus their economical ob?
jects would be defeated.

will impede any demonstration of any faction,
and preserve the peace. A small party assem?

They consisted mainly of persona of evil re?

soldiers were sent in pursuit and dispersed

NEW ORLEANS, October IC-This morning's
rimes has a leader based oa ths telegraphic re?
port that tho New York World reco almonds thc
withdrawal of General Blair from the ticket.
It says 'such a suggestion, confined as it is to.
une of the Democratic standard-bearers, pre?
sents an invidious aspect. If there bo good
grounds for tho withdrawal of Gcneial Blair,
there are equilly good grounds for tho with?
drawal of Governor Seymour. Both of these
gentlemen aro moro ambitious of making tho
cause successful than of becoming themselves
thc recipients of personal honors, and
cai tainly neither of them wonld like to be in
any manner associated with the organization
of defeat. We remember with what reluctance
Governor Seymour permitted himself to bo
put in nomination for tho Presidency, and aro
satisfied that he would feel relieved if in any
honorable manner ho could transfer to other
and broader shoulders '.ho responsibility under
which he now labors. Nor ctn wc iinaeino for
a moment that the gallant and patriotic Gone
I ral Blair would present any obstacle to such a
change in the p ilitical programme as would fur?
nish new assurances of success to the principios
enunciated in the Democratic platform. Har?
monious and effective action is what is special?
ly desired. The West and South would not be
satisfied with the withdrawal of General Blair
if Governor 8oymour were to remain on the
ticket. In order to satisfy all sections aud at
the same time show the undiminished confi?
dence of the Democracy in the gentlemen se?
lected by thc New York Convention to cham?
pion the causo of tho people io tho approach?
ing Presidentas! contest, wo would respect?
fully suggest to the Democracy of thc land the
propriety ef leaving to Governor Seymour and
General Blair the high honor of selecting
their own successors in the canvass. Tho old
Democratic battle-cry has always boen "Prin?
ciples, not men,' and the policy of adhering to
that ory, as well in letteras in spirit, was never
more clearly apparent than at thc proscnt.
Further, we beg leave to suggest that what?
ever is done should bo done quickly. This is
no time to h iggle about forms or to bring to?
gether conventions from the extremes of thc
republic. The people can look forward with
confidence to a patriotic solution of thc exist?
ing difficulty to the statesman of thc North
and the hero of thc West. It is the gordian
knot which is now presented; wc cannot wait
to unravel, it must be cut by tho swift, slurp
blow."

THE WELCOME.
Mr. Adams: On behalf of thc com niltco of
gentlemen by whom I am surrounded, I am
deputed to tender you a welcome to our city.
We were glad to learn that yon had visited our
State, and are gratified that you had accepted
tho invitation extended to you, and that wo
shall have the plea-aure of presenting you to
our fellow-citizens. They will bc gratified to
hoar you. not only us a distinguished son or

political ccutcst, in thc result of whicii they
liavo such deep interest, you have cousented to
cive them tho benefit of your wise and patriotic
counsels. And they will liston with earnest?
ness to what you may say, for tbey w*8'1 above
all things thc restoration of poaco, harmony
and prosperity throughout the length and
breadth of cur common country.
Mr. Adams in reply said that he would make
no ext.ndod remarks, as he expected to have
tho pleasure of speaking in public in tho
course of thc evening. He, however, felt very
deeply the warmth of the wolcomc which had
been extended to him; it had touched his
heatt, anti he would only say that all his ef?
forts wor.ld be directed to promoting hai
mony between South Carolina and Massachu?
setts, and to securing the rc-astalishment of
tho Union under tho laws and constitution.
At tho couolusien or these remarks the party
ontored tho open carriages which wore in wail?
ing, and drove to tho Charleston Hotel, where
a Drivato dinner was served, and the afternoon
was passed by Mr. Adams and his uew friends
in social intercourse until tho arrival of thc
hour for which tho public meeting had been
called.
THE 8TAND.
Soon after dark the temporary stand which
had beon erected on thc west side of Meeting
street, opposite tho Charleston Hotel, was
lighted up by a multitude of gas jets, and thc
names of the Democratic Candidates, with ap?
propriate iascriptions and de rices, blazed cut
brilliantly upon a back ground formed by tho
national colors, draped ia graceful festoons.
Immediately in frout of the a tan Ju row of live
handsome glass globos, each beating a letter
of the name "'ADAMS," badea fiery welcome to
thc distinguished Bostonian.
THE CnOWD.
At seven o'clock a vast concourse of people
among whom the colored element was Btxonsry
represented-had gathered iii thc street in
front of tho stand, and soon blocked np the
thoroughfare ironi Hasel to Market Hreets.
Thc street cars, of course, were compelled to
discontinuo thoir trips, aud though there were
no music, salutes or other clements of political
clap-trap usual at party gatherings in the
Northern cities, tho assemblage rapidly ae.-um
ed imposing proportions. The porticoes of the
Charleston Holel wore densely thronged, every
inch of standing room on the upper piazza be?

Mr. Campbell rose and said :
Citizens of Chartes/on Y<r.\ luve called mc
to preside over this meeting and to bear my
part in rendering a hospitable welcome from
the old metr?poli ian city of South Carolina to
a distinguished citizen of tho old Common?
wealth of Massaoausotts-a gentleman wno, I
am here to answer for, has come for no other
parp?lo than to consult how he cnn best pro?
mote your welfare and thc wcllaro of his and
your common country, and for thc preserva?
tion ot constitutional liberty in the United
States of Amorica, to establish winch his an?
cestors joined with your ancestors nearly one
hundred years ago. I count it among those
many acta of kindness which vou have so often
conierrod upon me that you have called
upon mo to preside at tho present time and on
tho present occasion. This is a singular be?
cause it is a rare occasion. It ia rare?
ly that tho fallen and oppreasod liavo
tho opportunity to extend thc rites of hoapi
tahty to those who are prosperous beyond
measure. But it is not an unwelcome oppor?
tunity to the City of Charleston. Thc hospi?
tality of our citizens ha8 becomo historic, and
it would be impossible fer our people to toriret
tho rites of hospitality. It ia now niuetv-five
yeara since a distinguished citizen of Massa?
chusetts whoso name in part 1 he gentleman
whom you welcome to-n.ght boars, came to
South Carolina to consult as to tho best means
of preserving the liberties of the then colonies
ot Great Britain. He came here to consult
our best menas to thc means of bringing ai out
that, great robelhon \vhich Washington led and
which was brought to a successful issue nuder
thc inspiration ot the elder Adams. He was
received with hospitality, wli.ch had already
begun to distinguish m liisloiv iho people of
Charleston, and to trnio i I fancy trey haw,
never boon false. A year later thc people of
Boston found that their city waa ueleaguered
and their port closed. South Carolina seul
succor to Massachusetts, and especially
tu the City of Boston. Tho people ot
South Carolina aided and encouraged
thc people of Massachusetts iii that great re?
bellion which, beins succossiui, established
constitutional liberty on thc continent of
America. But that "was not tho lost instance
of hospitality displayed by Charlosto.i to thc
distinguished mei) of Massucauscits. I cm
remember, and many here present w.ll remem?
ber, when, twenty years ayo, upon that very
balcony which is now crowded with tao intelli
goucc and beauty of Charleston, the greatest
orator of the clay, who had beeu in continual
rivalry with thc most distinguished son ot
Carolina, and m continued opposition to tho
cherished acntimonls and opinions of thc peo?
ple of this Stato, was received amid the loud i
plaudits of the citizens of Charleston. I was
present aud witnessed thc scene. Thc dis?
tinguished son of Carolina and tuc distinsuioh
c? guest of that occasion have smco gonu to
their last account, but their memory ande uu
scls still live amotiRst us. Now, after thc
lapse of nincty-fivo yeara since the visit of the
first mentioned son of Massachusetts, and
twenty years, two decades, since the reception
of Daniel Webster by Mr. Elmore on
balcony, wo meet to receive with a una'
and hearty and bospitablo welcomo tho
' ?ontative of thc fllurtb generation of An

tho Union and tho Constitu ion, from

would be tho deliverance of tho South. .
never hesitated in ut.eriutr this opinion,

perfectly understood, on what they belie'
be an occasion of extremo ncid, tho peo
this Stale placed mo in tho highest po
known to them-gave mo the greatest i
was in their power to confer. They then si
my counsels, and whether those counsels
wisc or unwise, will uevor be ku"wn; wli
it would have been better that thoso cot
should have been acted on or not, is ai
those things that must ever bo hi
This much, however, I will say for myself
indebted as I am to the old Commonwo.i
Massachusetts for my birth. I foul thati
creator honor to have boen thc last senai
the old and free South Carolina than to
thc highest distinction that Massachu
now with all her greatness, power and w
can confer. Having such lecnngs and ins
by such sentiments, I tell you, fcllow-citi:
that thc gentleman you are about to bea
though heretofore opposed to us ?3 now
to thc best interests of South Carolina. I

that might bc diviled into two parts
The first portion which said that then
should be no representation for any portion o
thc population debarred from thc privilege o
voling, was all fair and proper enough. Bu
what was the second portion? Ii, was that thc
whole people of thc South, thc people thai
foue-ht in thc war, the people who believed ir
thc war, sh mid disfranchise tho men who bac
lead them through the struggle, should dis
tianchise theil loaders hi Ihe camp and in thc
Se?alo, tho men whom they had trusted and
believed in from first to last. That provision
may havo been wise, but I can put ciy hand
upon my heart, as a man of Massachusetts
standing here to-night, and say that I could
not condemn a single man who refused io vote
for so itmcious a proposition as that. Were
the men who Icu*hi in the army of ibo Poto?
mac-thc army of Northern Virginia you call
it-11 be made to dislraueiiiso Robert E. Lee ?
Were thc men who served in thc cavalry of that
anny to bo made to il sfranchiso Wade Hamp?
ton ? Why was Mich a thiup to bo
thought of" fur au instant? I confess I felt
ashamed of my own people when they offered
so dishonorable a proposition to a civilized
peop.e like themselves, to a people who were
at least a part of tno pooplo of the United
States. You refused to alopt th it amend?
ment, and you cou d have dono no Ic^s. Thus
far, up to your reins il to adopt thc fourteenth
amviidmeut, Congress thou-.'ht that they cou d

that jo.i could bo .e stored to the Union und r
tho forms ol fcfb constitution, not in Stuics,
but your prjet cal relations, your represen ta?

Congress reminds mo of an anecdote w
Geeeial Hampton related to mo a few
ago. Thc General was invited to attend;
liTical mi'Ciing not many miles from Collin
and, in his letter of acceptance, he spoke o
being a Democrat. A kttlo girl, a danght
a friend of his in tho neighborhood when
mcotmg was to tako place, in writing
him for her father to invite him to
at their house, said: "Doar General, lau
glad to hear that you are coming down hoi
speak, because wo all want to sec you a,
and to hear you speak; but I am sorry you
you arc a Democrat. You can't bo a Dc
erat; you are not a Democrat; you aro a rt
you have always been a door old rebel, and
must bo a rebel still." (Laughter.) (t is
well to laugh, my friends, but that little
saw just what -Congress don't see. No
General Hampton is a rebel, and I have 1
with him a great deal in the last few days,
I liavo had many loner conversations with 1
and I know just what he thinks and fools
what ore his inteutions about the future of
country, and I say if ho is a rebel he is
such a rebel as lam, and no more.
Now. mv friends, I carno down herc n
particularly to taik to the people of the St
about tho present issue ocforo tho poopli
tho United States. Thero are two great ]
tits, and wo liavo General Grant tho leader
one sido, and Mr. Seymour Ibo leader on
othor. Now. let us look at it squarely
fairly, and soo what ia tho best and what ia
worst of it a? far as tho South ts concerned
far as regards thc unreconstructed, uurestoi
unvoting, rebellious States. What is best
der the circumstances for you to do? N
hero is Mr. Seymour. If Mr. Seym oui
elected, don't think that all our troul
will end right hore ! I am a Dcmoci
and I will vote the D?mocratie Ucl
becauso I think that is the bes- way to s
these inroads upon our constitutional torn
government. But ii you allow yourselves
be carried away with tho idea that tho elect
of Seymour alono wiU bring prosperity to
country, you will make a great mistake; an
tell you so m ali the honesty and frankness
my heart. Even if Seym ur is elected, tho i
publicans of the country, North and South, i
bo in ?o slight a minority, if in tho minority
all, that tho safety of tho country will he
upon a thread, lt w>ll depend upon tho v
each of us will behave. On tho a
trary, suppose Grant is elected. Now,
have recently boen in a part of tho conn
where it is tho general belief that thc oloct;
of Grant will bc thc utter destruction of all s
cess and prosperity at thc South. 1 said Ii
not intend to make a political speech, and Ii
not going to do so; but 1 must tell you so
things which somo of you at least proba!
don't know. I want to toll the white peo;
herc what I believe somo of thom don't knt
1 want io tell them that the feeling and upi
which animates alargo portion of tho Kcpul
cnn party of thc North ?B a spirit of kindm
and f-ood lee.ing to thu people of tho Soul
and that devotion to tho coustitu.i
is as deep m their hearts ns in thc
of any of tho people of tho land,
bolicvo, and I know, that this is so -and t
elcctieu of Grant should not, and is not, goii
to deprive tho South ot hope. You will si
have the same opportunities and rights th
you have now. I am au opponent of Cenei
Grant, and havcuo wish to speak too kindly
him, but I behevo that ho is an upright ai
honorable man, and that if elected ho w ll i
his best not for any party, bul tor <ho wht
people o. thc couulry. [Applause.] FolUr
citizens, as 1 toi you, 1 am not making
political speo h, ardido not desire anya
plause. I wish to talk to you plainly, i
one man should to another in timo
danger. I wish to tell you what
thi"k your chances aro. I tefl you candid
that you will oe unwise and wicked if ye
pledge yourselves to follow tho fortunes ot au
political parly. You are prisoners ol war, at
have no right to say wo must do this or ?
must do that, and that if such a thing is ni
done you will do to and so. Because, m
lnends, whatever is dono you can do iioiliin(
Ju>t look at it. Suppose Grant is elected an
yon don't like it? When 1 was invited hen
tho gentlemen who invited mc said that th
policy of tho South was peace, and Genen
Hampton said that thc policy ot the South i
pcaeo. and thu policy ol the South is peace
But what ls peacu ? Now I ask agaut, what ar
you going to do if Grant is elu.-ted? Will yo
risc again ? Will you begin tho old wai a^ain
At the beginning of .he last war you stooi
some chance. You hid obtained a larg
pori ion of tho munirions of war o
the Federal government. Now, where woul<
you get a battery? What do you supposi
would happen to-morrow, if this city nus ti
revolt ca it did five jr* ere ago? A few Unite?
States ships of war would steam up your har
bor, and there would be the end of it. Pu
aside the notion it it ever entered tho heads o
-.ny of you. Put it aside at once. There h
thc whole of it.
What, thou, is the best and thc worst of it 5
This will depend very much on the disposition
of the moderate portion of tho Republican
party. For, mar:t you, thoro is a wide diu'er
euce between tho wings of the Republican
party-as wide a difference as there was
between my present fneud General Hamp?
ton and myself during the war. I come,
as you '{now, from Massachusetts, tho most
Radical State in tho North, and I say au J be?
lieve that there arc mau.v Republicans there
I who fool kindly towards the South, but they arc
deceived. They honestly believe many things
which you may think ridiculous. For instance,
they believe that you wish to re-establish
slavery. I have lately bcon travelling in tho
upper part of this State, and I couid find there
uo one who wished to re-establish slavery, and
they told me thero was but one man in the
State who wished to re-ctablisb s avery. Per?
haps he is iu this crowd. Does this crowd
wish to re-establish slivery? [Loud eries
of "No! no!'] Now, that, coiilirms
mo in my opinion, and thc positiO.i
which I tojk ni Massachusetts, that
slavery is dead. But you can't btdievo how
many people are honestly demited into the
conviction that you wish'to re-establish that
institu? ion. I came herc to leam, not to '?each.
But now. after you have told mc what you
think. I will tell you candidly thai VJU could
not rcsi.oic.it il you .vould. [crics, wodou't want
to.J Well, ' know you don't, but still you
yon could not if you would.
W. ll, Ibero is another thing* which fie
Norlhorn people believe. They believe that a
Noitheru man cannot come down here aud
speak freely and hones!ly his opiuious unless it
hims yon. In short, they say that you will not
endorso free speech; tuatyou aro mt-itcraut,
and that you would o." ugN and Wicked it you

you or do you nob intend th. t the right of ire::
I epeccii shall be preserved now and forever ?
[Laughter and cries of "Ye3l"] You laugh,
gentlemen, as if the light of free speech had
never been violated among you. But I hear
that thcre.is a certain class oz gentlemen, call?
ed carpet-baggers. I speak of them with great
kindness, tor I am liable to be classed with
them myself, and because they have a better
position herc than I have; they can como hero
and vote and I can't, because I could not swear
to support your constitution. I don't know
t'uat I ever met any of these gentlemen; I only
know them by tliis name of carpet-bagger,
but I hear that they are gentlemen who came
dowu here for the purpose of representing >ou
and holding your principal offices, and from
that I supposo thev must be the best men in
thc community, and that being so. I am told
that you do not allow them to speak, or that
you do not encourage them to speak, or that
you cast soroo kind of slur upon them when
thoy do speak-that you consider it rather a
wrong to those who should properly speak
among you to allow these interlopers to speak
at all. Well, I believe that a good deal myself,
but not entirely. I knew that thero were so
many prood sneakers at the South, that I did
not think it surprising that you should
not leave them nil at once and take
to running after thc carpet-bagger. But
imagine my amazement whon I was comin1.'
dowu on thc cars to-day, t > learn that there
wa- to bo a political debate near Charleston, in
which two or three gentlemen of native growth,
if I may so speak, and a like nmuber of these
carpet-baggers were to take parr, and I, an?
other carpet-bagger, was expected to partici?
pate also. Now lhere was free speech with a
vengeance.
I see a great many colored people here this
evening-the people whom tho Radicals tell us
arc thc only loyal peoplo at the South-and I
want to say a few wolds to them. My colored
Icllow-cilizons, you occupy a very difficult aud
painful position, aifd I am as anxious as you
can bc that you should find some way to ex?
tricate yourselves from it. But in" consid?
ering your position you should remember
that }ou aro in a very small m.nori
ty. In this particular State you may be
io t!ie majority, but m tho nation you aro i na
very small, even an insignificant minority.
And, moreover, through no fault of your own,
you have no education and no property, and,
besides, you have been subjected for a long
series of years to a condition of slavery in
which you were debarred hom some of the
mo3t precious privileges of life. This was no
fault of yours. It was no fault of tho late
slaveholders or of tho present race of whito
men, but of thoir ancestors wbo lived long
ago. But still it has its effect on you. Now I
speak to you plaiuly. I am not going to stay
here; I nm going away to-morrow. I don't
want your votes. I am not one of that class of
carget-naggers. I waut to tell you what is the
best thiner for you. [A voice, vote for Grant.]
Yes vote f >r Grant if you want to. But that is
not tho question. I understand that a great
many people como here to get your votes, and
they strive to sow dissension between you and
your former masters. [Mauy nogrocs, ''That
is not so."] Well, I am elad to hear it is not
so; but I will till you wny it should not bo so.
I have never seen your Governor, nor your
Legislature, and 1 cannot express any opinion
about thom. But, let me ask you, do you when
you go up to tho polls honestly inquire who is
tho best mau for the place ? I warn you against
thc formation of a black man's party. If you
allow tho idea to take possession of you. that
thc old slaveholders were thc enemies of the
negroes, and hence that the negroes must
now be tbc enemies of thc slaveholders, aud
that negroes must only vote for negroes, I
warn you tho idea will jncvitaDly descend with
horrible weight upon (nc biack man. It is all
very well now, when there is a groat political
excitement and you are settling a Presidential
election, but that must como to an end some
time, and what the.J? Imagino how tho blacks
will be crushed down then. It may not be as
bad as tho old slavery, but, I think it wid be
worse. At all events' I am glad to hear that
noun ot the black people intend to uso loree. I
want to say somothiug now to my white friends.
It is charged that sonic of thom try to influ?
ence t ,oir employees by threats o? discbargo,
Ac. Is that true? [Criesof "Yes! yos!"J Well,
I am glad I have bomethtng that I can talk
about nt lost. Well, if this is true, it is us
bad as tho attempts of tho Union Leagues
to ind .once thc colored vote tho other
way. O.i my farm in Massachusetts, where
I have white laborers, I never say a word to
thom about politics. I treat them kindly, and
they always voto for me when lum a candidato,
and I am alw s running for something in
Massachusetts I am running for Governor
just now. When I was a Republican they voted
the Republican ticket and since I am a Dem )
crai th cy vutj thc Democratic ticket. Let the
people hero take the same co irse, and they
can defy any si rangers in thc race; and if the.)
cannot thoy deserve to no beaten. But to be
even in tho rico no mau should be dis?
qualified. And what is the objeet of dis?
qualifying a man from holding office? Does
it keep him out of power? Does it doatroy
Iiis influence? Has General Lee no influ?
ence? Has General Hampton no iuflence? Lee
wields a greater power than any other man in
the South, and Hampton has mote influence
than any other min in this State. Than, 1
say, let them go. Let all men have equal
privileges. Let us all discuss the same ques?
tions on the same platform. Then let ihe
black people voto if thoy want to-just as
many as want to. But I do not bolieve m uni?
versal suffrage either lor whito or black. The
Massachusetts qualification, six month's rest
deuce, a tax, reading a sentence in thc United
States Cou.-.titutiou in the English language,
and writiug oue's name, is little onough in?
deed. I b/hevo that tue white pcop.o ot thc
South will soon be willing to stand on
this platform. Many of them agree lo
it eveu now. Massachusetts has been
called a negro-loving State, but *he is
not. She only usks equal rights for a l.
When freedom of np .ecu is secured in South
Carolina, when slavery is dead m eery shape
and torin, and when the people of Massachu?
setts are convinced that such is tho case, then,
and only tneu, c tn tho old friendly relations of
tho revulution bc restored between Massachu?
setts and South Carolina. I don't uelieve that
there is any groat divergence between the
scutimcuts of the people ot Massachusetts and
thc people of South Cirohna. But they don't
anders tond each other. They have no moro
idea of you, or you of them, tha i I have ot' the
man in tho moon, or tao man m tuc moo.i ot me.
What wo want is to understand each other.
But until this rule of the bayonet is over, that
can never bc. If thc fathers of ibo republic,
Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Franklin,
could si aud herc and sae wha> a monstrosity
haB succeeded to thc government which thoy
established over tho Union, and usurped ita
name, thoy would bc horrified.
But I wieh, after dh-cussiug the topics which
I have touched ou, lo ex.cnd a greeting from
Massachusetts to South Carolina. I do not
represent u very largo section of the peoplo of
Massachusetts, but I believe that in tue words
I am going to say, I represent nearly the
whole people : Hold fast to the new opinions
which are gaining ground in your midst. With
slavery ail thc ; rounds for animosity between
the Sta;os passed away. Let us bo friends
once moro, as our fathers were-each ono try?
ing to come nearor and nearer to tbo concep?
tions of tho other. Tuen the time will not bo
tar distant wheu Massaciusetls aud South
Carolina can stand by their repr?sentatives
side by snlo in these very atrcetB, and wo will
have a now Union under thc Constitution.
[Immense applause.]
After Mr. Adams had taken his seat, the
crowd called ou Colouel R. W. Seymour for a
speech. Ho excused hinnulf by saying, in his
usual humorous si>lo, that he couid not ai?brd
to waste bia amrau.ntioii thia evening, as he
