Fv?ouxitizens -I appear before you this ?vening m an attitude very different from any that I have hitherto occupied on tbe various ?oeasions when I 'have bad the honor to ad? ir?es you. My own personal arl ii rs have to lome small extent become mixed up with more important public matters, and tbero'ore before proceeding lo tbs discussion of those points in which, as Republicans you are deeply in? terested, it will be necessary that I should, with apparent qgoiism. obtrude Bomothing of myself upon your consideration. HIS REMOVAL. I am most reluotant to lo thisatjSio" man of any modesty likes to make hlmselrrhe topic o? his discourse, and ii 1 could develops and at? tack the secret d-signs of those whom 1 am here to denounce without any reference to my Belf, I should most gladly pur ?oe that course. I concur with tbe editor of the Ropnblicm, in bis issuoof last week that the removal of D ?. Mackey from the Colleciorahip of Customs is Dot of sufficient importance to *affeut tho Re? publican party. L* itself, abstractly viewed, it is so. The removal of an hundred office-hold? ers must not and cannot produce anv evil tf fe *ts upon oar party. But when tbe incidents that are grouped around tbis removal ore con? sidered, it assumes a very ri li?rent aspect, and that wbich ought to have been a matter or mere personal character becomes dignified with po? litical importance. If Messrs. Sawyer and Bowes, in removing me, bad placed a good Republican in my place; if the poet was now filled by any one of those sturdy soldiers of our party, wbo have been for more than two years fighting the battle or Republicanism in this State; it tb.9 appoint? ment had been given to any well known and trusted Republican, you would have heard from me no word of complaint, lhe offios was not mine by prescriptive right, and. having enjoy? ed its honors and emoluments xor four years. I would have willingly surrendered it to as good a Republican as myself, to one who would have used ita patronage for the advancement of onr principles and wbo would bave wielded no in? fluence that the position gave him ror purposes inimical to our pu ty. HTS OPINION OF COLLECTOR CLARK. But what has been the tact? 1, a Republican, acknowledged everywhere to be such, one n ho ha? never faltered for an instant under any CL-camstanoea from my allegiance to my party, and wbo at the very moment of my removal was exertiotr all my efforts to secure the pa? tronage of the government wbicb was in my hand? to Republicans, havo been displaced,and a person appointed of whom it is very diffiuu.t, from anything that be bas ever done or said, to predicate, that a single drop nf Rep?blican blood flo .vs in his voins. Of Mr. Clark's per Boosj character or antecedents I have nothing to Bay. lt would be indecorous and irrelevant to introduce such a topic into this discussion. But as he is an aspirant for poli neal office, as I have been removed by his Congressional sup? porters on the plea that my retention in office wou'd be detrimental to tbe Republican party, (fofl i ii Senator Sawyer declares wns his rea? son forrecommendiu? my removal,) and conse? quently as he and they must claim that Mr. Clark's appointment was of advantage tu the party, 1 have a right to discuss his politi? cal char?cfer,and to sweep away, if I can, these false daims to your confidence: What bas been Mr. Clark's rccoid among us? Who ever saw him at a Republican meeting, except on the night preceding the M.internal election, wtieu his wresenco was to oe attribu? ted not so much to bu lo7e tor Republicans, as to bis indignation for the Deiiiocnt-j, wno had v*ry w-rly refuged to give h tn tho nomi? nation as May >r. which, ho sought at thor bands?

SAWYER ARRAIGNED. Seoator Sa vyer. about as good a Repubh as Mr. Clark, has recently boasted that one-twentieth or the present members of General Assembly will be returned at the n election, but ttat the Legislature will com ot an entirely different class of people, means, ol course. Democrats and Censer fives-in my opinion synonymous terms. 1 wish of course is hero the father or thought. Onr honorable senator hopes to the change, and, therefore, thinks that by I aid of Congressman Bowen and a few ot nc be can accomplish tbe, to him. desire change. Bu , with the blessing of Heaven, will bo wofolly dis < ppointed. IS CLARK A DEMOCRAT ? So Mayor Clark, in a similar short-aighti ness, supposed that republicanism-the pa: of the poor man-could not withstand the tack* -if wealthy Democracy. He, too, st posed that when the city elec jon should ordered, and a Mayor was to be chosen by t people, that people would be Democratic their sentiments. He believed that the Deo ?ats would poll the largest number of vot and hence, as he intended to become a can date for that profitable position, his course conciliation to-.varda the Democrats was ado] ed. The history of his adm ni ?8 tr it ion is t history of an attempt to conciliate men who thought vould soon bo in power, to atone them by his obsequiousness for the sin of 1 having been in the Federal army, although ot io tho harmless position of a sutler. Look his record. Sorrounded by a Democratic cou eil-bestowing all bis patronage oo Democr* -be finally souebt the nomination of theil mocrat", aud it was refused. Then, 'or tl moment, io a fit of spleen, he pretended come over to the Republican ranks and vofe for the Republican candidate. But his Repu licanism was very short-lived. The Bepub cans carried their ticket. The Deoiocra sought to vitiate the election, and I blac them not for the attempt; they had been bet en, and they sought to quash the victory. B how would a Republic in have acted in M Clark's place, and how did be act? A tn Republican would bave lent all the power his position to secure the victory that his pa ty bad gaine i. But Mr. Clark, for month opposed, upon every legal quibble that ot Democratic combatants oould urge, the insta latiou of the Republican Mayor and Alderme He retained the office as long as be oould-r tainedin office bis Democratic employees, ai kept starving Republicans from public en ployment. We had worked hard for this vi tory, and if for months the fruit of it was di laved, it is Mayor Clark whom we have I thank that the tree did not bting forth. At last, a Republican Legislature was con pel led to legislate him oat of office, and, eve then, so little respect did he pty to the vox ot oar party that he again resorted to leg; subtleties before be woold consent to loose bis grasp on tbe beloved form of his idol offici And now, after thus served, I, a Ropoblicai whom no disappointments could ever wea from my party, wbo has clune to its principle with unswerving fidelity, who has been di nounced by tLe Democratic press and by tb Democratic leaders, I am removed as a detr ment lo my party, and this man, who has n Republican record at all-all of whose ami it tions bave been tendered to the Democrats-i made to assume my place. < THE CONSPIRACY. My mere removal, as I bave slid before, is matter of no importance to the party or tb nation. But accompanied by auoh incident it assumes a suspicions shape, which entitle it to our considerations. When Senator San yer and Congressman Bowen said that my re tentiou in office was detrimental to tho Repul lican party tbev knew that it was an uotrutj: They used i only te:aose in ni other wa could they affect the President aud the Sec re tary. But behind this was concealed the rea reason which I shall develope in a very fet words. EX Kinn., NIHIL FIT. As I stated to fl- oretary Boutwell, the rea reason of the opposition of Messrs. Sawyer ani Bowen to me is to ba found in tbe fact tbat a an active, open and uncompromising Bepnbli can. 1 cannot be managed by Senator Sawye and Mi. Bowen, wbo, witn a few others ande: senatorial manipul?t on, ara? striving to esta b tish a Conservative party in South Carolina tr tbe defection of eu eli weak Republicans as thej can control, and by a combination of the Cop per beads with certain of our native Democrats This party, if successful, must be built up ot the ruins of the Republican party. They know that 1 oin neither be bought by tbe hope o office nor in umida tod by tbe fear ct losing it to aid their unhallowed scheme, and hence mj removal must be effected tbat the patronage ol the Customhouse may be placed m more sab servio ut 1 ands As expiatory of this theory which I pro pound, it is necessary that 1 should say some toing of Senator sawyer's Republican record, I shall not be sparing here, because I was fir si attacked, and in my defence I will use a swore is sharp as th it of my assailant. And yeti find it very difficult to say anything ot th? honorable senator's Republicanism. The sub? ject matter is too min?te to afford moch oppor? tunity of discussion. The celebrated Dr. Swift once, to show the versatility of his genius, wrote "An Essay on a Broomstick." And he made a very good thing ot it. But it would require a muoh greater amount of genius to concoct an ' Essay on Senator Sawyer's Repub? licanism." The writer would not know a here to begin or bow to end. The exordium and the argument and the peroration would all be comprised in one brief sentence, Kt nihil, nihil Jil. * Out of nothing, nothing comes." BA. WY EX IS PAINTED. Let me enliven this address with a fimiliar and pertinent anecdote: A celebrated painter was once employed by a would-be patron of the iris to paint on the wall of one of his rooms a picture of Pharaoh and bis host crossing the Red Sea. After a few days, the artist, having finished his work, sent for his patron to view tr. Upon entering tho room he saw nothing upon the wall but one vast sheet of bright r?.d paint. "Where." said he in astonishment, "where is the Bed Sea?" "Whv, there," replied the artist, "it lies before you." "Aud where, then.'' asked the patron, "are Pharaoh and his hosil" "Wby they are all drowned m th o sea.** SAW T ER'S BANE MOTE SPECULATION. So, if I were called upon, sopposmg I were an artist, to pam: upon some wall an allegori? cal picture ot Senator Sawyer's Republicanism, I should accomplish the task SB follows: I should cover tbe wall from ceiling to floor with bills of the Bank of the State, purchased at ten cents and twenty cents on the dollar aud re? deemed by Sawyer's manipulations at their par valub by legislative sot. Aad if any spectator were to ask me where were Senator Hawser's politics, I should point to the bills and say they he before you; aud if I were thea asked where were his pi mci pies, I should say th : v are un? der the bills. SAWYER NOT A REPUBLICAN. But it wcro a waste of time to spend another mo.nc.it ou this gentleman's Republicanism. It is too microscopic for dj tai i s. Weil did he bimsrlf say, a few days since, that he did not have a particle of influence willi thc Republican party, lhere is, I am euro, t,ot a man in this loom who believes him to bo a Bo publican, or ever to havo bjeu one. The political phrase ot shooting ut a dead duck has become rattier loo hackneyed for repetition. Well, thou, this au oient Democrat-for in that school was ho rear? ed-ih.s man who. in his OTiitiual profe si?n, was brought to our shores to introduce a new system Ol teaching, because all hie affili?t! us were uvowed to bu with Southern slaveholders, and wno, in bis Democracy, has returned with all its original fervor to his first love-this sen? ator, elected by the Democratic votes of the Legislature, and acknowledging bis indebted? ness to that balance of power, non seleela his friends from among the D?mocrate-, and who neither writes, nor speaks, nor acts without the advice and counsel or one of the shiewdest and most popular of the Democratic leaders of our city, is ant ono to devise the nefarious Boheme of destioying the Republican partv and building a Virerais conservatism (Ueavcu help the mark) upon the ru.us of all that we hold dear in our political faith. BIWEN A CONSPIBATOB. As I chargo Congiessmau C. C. Bowen with being a cc-conspirator in ihis Unholy allianc , it will bc neccrsarv that I should say some? thing of his political reccrd. And here 1 shall have to iutioduco matters oi personal rela? tion to myself, which I wjuld glad>y have avoided, btcausc Mr. BMW u, in proving a triitor to tho Republican partv, ?\ as cum pt Hod fnimmy t'fhciai position tu ma ko bis tirst at Etack ui?on the nany turoaelt mc My removal from i ffice must again bu made tho topic ol discussion, not because in instigating that removal Mr. Bowen has violated every pledge that an honorable mau hokrs dear bur. bueaasc tn that removal ho has tbown his antagonism to oar party, and bia perfect readiness to our enemies in beliing us oui. nLPUTTLICAi*3 VIZGZ32LD WZTH BOW?U I do not deny the original Republic ini? Mr. Bowen, lt was because I knew bim 1 a Republican that from tbe beginning I my family bare fostered, sustained and eli ed bim. Undoubtedly, at first, be waa a , Republican, but the amount of temptation a man withstand is the true measure o virtue. Judas Iscariot was once a saint Benedict Arnold a patriot. And Mr. Bo like these two worthies, had just so much pubhcanism as to remain nure only until tc tation was presented. But all this is a p nant evidence of the existence of the noli conspiracy which I am denouncing, course of Mr. Bowen's, from tho time ol inauguration of our party in this 9 ate t very recently, was such as clearlv to idei him during ail that period with the Republ patty. But the party has made no chang its political principles-it stands on its one platform, and therefore it must have left Bowen behind. If he was a true min would, in this progress of events, be rb A i th us still. But he is not now among us; present allies are Democrats and Copperhei and men whom he himself hos repeatedly nounced; and tbe party which gave him of now turn trom bim in loathing and distrust How can this be? What bas wrought '1 change over the spirit of his dream ?" answer is ready at hand. The thirty piecei silver have boen offered and been occepi G. C. Bowen bas sold himself to the San Democratico-conservative party. But ne overreached his purchasers ia the barg, They supposed that m selling himself he wo sell als J the porty who bad trusted bim. J we denounce the traitorous contract. HA no title in na, and we repudiate him aud bargain. BOWEN S 00 MP LIM RTT ED. Mr. Bowen, finding ou bis arrival borne t bis treachery had been marked, and was to punished by the pony that he had basely trayed, bas Boughten some weak wav to bl his skirts of inilt by denunciations of me. of which axe based upon falsehood, and which, therefore, I am compelled to respond He asserts that I have persistently ki rebels and Democrats in office; that he I sought to induce me to remove them and nominate Republic ins in their place, and tl I hire positively refused to do so. No v, in this there is not one single word of tra There is not in the real tacts that have ? curred tbe slightest foundation on which, bj misunderstanding or a misapprehension, could be accused for making such statemon And hi would have pursued a more mai course had he openly avowed his treachc and not added falsehood and Blander to the 1 of bis crimes. Everybody knows, who knows anything the political history ot the country, that di ing the last two years of the administration Andrew Johnson there was no possible ?av getting Democrats out of office and Reput oans in. I tried it repeatedly, but could ue\ succeed. But General Grant having been elected ai Republican P. en de nt, and Mr. Bout wei I. t Secretary of tbs 1 reasury being a well knot Radical, I presum d that tbe time had n< come when the patronage of the office I bc could be bestowed on the men of my party. Accordingly, as soon as I had returned hot 'rom Washington, whither I had gone to vii the inauguration of General Grant, and as so as I had recovered from a severe illness whi confined me to my room for some weeks, made the first attempt. On the 15th of Apr 1,1869.1 sent to the 6 cretary of the Treasury the nomination of t.> good Republicans, one white and three colon men, and at the same time recommended tl removal > f four Democrats whom the form administration had compelled me to keep office. I did this on my own motion and wit out any consultation with Mr. Bowen, exce tbat in Washington I had told him io tl course of conversation that such was the gei eral policy which I intended to pursue. 1 tb ese nominations I received no reply, notwitl standing that I again wrote to urge sou action. On Ur. Bowen's arrival lu the city, expressed my surprise at tbe non-action tbe Department, when, with a duplicity that seldom equalled, he confessed hie inability i say why no action had been taken, and e: pressed himself well pleased with tbe nomin tioDs that 1 had made. BOWENS JEWELS. Subsequently, when I went to Washingto to demand the cause of my removal, I state tho fact of ray hiving made nominations i April to the Secretary, who expressed his sui prise at the statement, and immediately ser for the clerk in the appointment bureau. C this dei k no asked, "Why were not those noa mations of Dr. Mackey laid before me ?" Tb reply was, "Because Mr. Bowen requeste that they should not, as he was opposed t them." Ooe would suppose that this was duplicit and falsehood enough to fill the measure c any ooe man's infamy. But there are othe jewels of like value in Mr. Bowen's crowi tt ere are other staun upon his character i these transactions, which the title of hooora bte, prefixed by Congressional courtesy t hiB name, con never wipe away. MONSTB0TJ3 TBEACHEBY. On tbe 28th of May, Mr. Bowen wrote me letter, (I have it in ray hands.) submitting list ot persons to be removed from the Custom house, and asking my concurrency. This lis contained sixteen nam e n, ons of them being i black man and a true Republican. Four on of these sixteen were not under my oontrol as tbe appointments were not made by me namely, an appraiser, wbo is appointed by the Preside it, two steamboat inspectors, who an nominated by tho supervisor at Baltimore, thi district judge and myself, and the appraiser': porter, who is appointed by the appraisers. There remained then twelve names upoi which I could legitimately operate. I invitee Mr. Bc wen to a consultation at my own house, and thore in my library bo and I, with two mu? tual friends, consulted on the nominations tc be sent on to Washington. Of the twdlvc names (hat he bad suggested wo adopted seven, and added, by mutual agreement, throe more-making tn al len Republicans whose name ' I was to send to tho Department. There were one Democrat and ene weak-kneed Re? publican lett, who, for reasons perfcctlv satis factory to Mr. Bowen, were to be retained tor a brie! period. Io tho list thus made by Mr. Bowen and my? self, at my library table, bo promised bis hear? ty support. He staioJ that be would leave tor Washington tbe next day, winch would bo Sun? day, and it was tben and there ?creed that on Monday I should mail the first batch of nomi? nations to Washington, and on Wedoeslay the second, and he promised to go to the Depart? ment and urge them through. Among the no? minations upou which wo agreed were those of three mon, who had been nomiuated by mo on the 15;h of April, being tbe representatives of the three classes-a white man, a colored one, and a black one. Will it be believed that after all bis promises and assurance, Mr. Bowen went to tho Department and again oppose! the appointment of these three men, men as good Repuolicans as any that we have iu our ranks, and mea whom ho himself bad at my house concurred with me in recommending ? Can duplicity and base falsehood go further ? Looking to the plrdces of friendship violated, to the ties of party sundered, to the words of man spoken to man and ruthlessly repudiat? ed, are you not ready to exclaim with Glouster: "0. monatroua treachery I Can this be eo; That m al i ince, ami y and catha, lhere fl oula be found auch false, dissembling gulle." In all this,*! "speak bv the card;" the docu meuti are in my pos-sessiou, and are ready to bo ?bown, and have ahvady beou sbowu to hundreds, which clearly suow that Mt.

I began to pursue it. Seen tly and underhandedly, at Washington, he opposed it. He resisted the appointment of several gojd Republicans, and nt last placed tho crowning stone on his column of treachery by getting me Republican Collector removed and a Democrat put in his place.

C. C. Bowen as a trail his party. I denounce him because he has aided i removal of Republicans from office. I denounce him because he has assist the retention and the appointment of D crate. I denounce him because he has treatei remonstrances of the Republican membe the Legislature, expressed in ciucus ant resolutions of bis own constituents adopt? public meetings, with rudeness and conte I denounce bim because he bas stood t an aider and ab teer, and seen every Fee office in this city in the hands of Dem oe ra of men of no political character whatc while his constituents, the men whose v gave bim the power wbicb he now wields, 1 been left out in tbe cold. I denounce him because tho men with wi he now associates politically are men who I never been recognized by the Republican ty, but men many of whom he has himseli nounced on former Decisions. 1 denounce bim because he bas become tool of a senator, wbose election be opp< on the gronnd that he did not, in his opin represent tbe Republican party, and wi seat in the Senate of the United States he i tested on the ground that be bad given and assistanc? to the rebellion, and could take the irou-olad oath without perjury, this accus?lion, made on oath before a ma trate of Washincton, the original is on hil the donate Chambor. BOWEN DECEASED OUILTY. And, lastly, I denounce him beciuse, si his election, he bas not attempted to pcrfi one acttor the benefit, of his people. Wu postoffice to be built, a customhouse to be paired and completed, and other oublie wo of gre?lr importance to be begun, he has mad.1 an effort to obtain au appropriation which employment would have been suppliei oar starving popula ti n. On these charges I arraign him, Republic of Charleston, before yon as a renegade, rai less to all tbe pledges he ever made to you, i treacherous to the party who elected him. How say you, ia he guilty or nut guilty ? Guilty, say you; then let him betaken tbe day of the nex > general election to polls, and there let him be politically bebe ed. And, until then, let him be kept in close con ? oem ont of aa intercourse wttb U perheads and Democrats and weak-kneed 1 publicans. And may the Lord have me upon bis sou'. THE DISEASE AND BE3CEDT. And nsw, fellow citizens, we bave disco ve: the disease; let us apply the remedy. An tempt is to be ir augurated to make anotl Virginia of South Carolina. You all kn what I mean by toa'. The Conservati uniting in that Stale with the Democrats, he recently given a political victory to the lat party. No malta what a few journalists hs said, our friends at the North thoroughly t derstaod the game, and are not deceived any declarations of the Walken tes. A vic tc like that ot Virginia io our State would ha over the Republican party to the tender mi cies of the Democrats. Thia is the came tl Messrs. Sawyer and Bowen are prepared play. Are you ready to lend your conn I enan yonr aid and assistance to tbe unholy sc h em Are yon willing to surrender those precio rights which a bitter war of four years, ant scarcely less bitter political strife of four ye: more, ?ave secured to you ? STAND TO VOUS A BUS. If you are not, then stand to your ara Oppose these first attempts with vigor a maintain your opposition with pers?v?rant Ot Democrats manfully fighting us in op field as brave soldiers should oo, we bave fear. Twioe have we conquered them aud vi tory still hovers over our banners. Still le need we fear a corporal's guard of turncoat who having once sold their friends are like at any time "for a consideration" to sell the quondam eue m ie i. Our former contests wi tue Democratic party were ..aged under . the disadvantages of au administration Washington hostile to our political prim pies. NOA- we have at the capitol a Preside whom Republicans have put into hts olevati seat and an administration of Republican mi ?stors. They may have made a few blunder for which they are excusable, because tba could have had no reason to suppose that se ators sud representatives, professing to t Republicans, would be false to their pan Bat time, wbiob subdues all thing?, will soc overcome this baneful influence and desire this misplaced confidence I have every tra in the d 'termination of the President and h Cabinet to sustain the Republican party in i struggle, and until this trust is shaken t some overt act I shall contiuue to sustain tl President and the administration. DIDN'T DENOUNCE THEM. It has beea reported that I have denounce the President and the Secretary of the Treast ry. Uv friends, the report is not trae, stand by the present administration. I ai not the man to abandon my principles becaua of an act of personal injustice; and moreovei I acquit the President and the Beere arv c anything more in my suspension than lb commission of a mistake for which they at fully excused by the circumstaoc is of the ic fluences that wete brought to bear opon them AS for Secretary Boat well, no mm in tn i country has a better record as a Republics than he; and I am ready now, as I hav? eve beep, to fight with bim under the sam banner. THE PASTY CAN'T BE DIVIDED. And I have beeo accused too of dividing th Republican party. My friends toe accusatioi is too preposterously absurd to need refuta tion. But in fact the Republican party is no divided, and I have no lear that it will eve be io ch is State. At somo future period, H ea ve i grant it mav be far distant, we may bi concucred, bat if we are, we will go down wit! our flag flying and every gun firing. ?Ye cn now an unit, and we in tond to remain so. Thi defection of one lead.tr c m do us no harm Hu did not make tho party, the party madi him. As wi made him, so can we unmake mm Without his seat in Congress he ia lesitli.it nothiug. With it, having now shown bis cards he can do no moro than speculate in a ie* paltry offices, Tho bigbost market viluo o them'all, aggregated iuto one sum, will nol be sufficient to purchase, ono honest man'< vote. And ourbonoiabl ) senator clustering around bim a few score of office-seekers, may throw bim elf into the arms of the Democrats, bul the gift will neither, from respectability ol character, amount of intelligence, or magul tude of numbers, be worthv of acceptance. Mr. Sawyer never was recognized as a true Republican; Air. Bowen, by his wanl of political integrity, has forever lost the afflictions and forfeited the confidsoce of bis constituents. Who then, for one mo? ment, would euoposo that these men could divide the party ? No. The Bepublican party is now, as it bas ever been, one and indivisible. This morning have I learned trim high au? thority, that our brethren in the coontiy are speaking on this subject with hut ooe view, t'beir cry. from the m luntains to the seaboard, is "down with the traitors." ?nd in every iown and hamlet in our good old commonwealth the some denunciations ot treason th it have booi made here to-night are uttered by the honest, truthiul men, who suppor, have always suu p-ortod, and will forever support, our pun oip < s. ? mese principles, fellow-Republicans, are few, but they are potent for success U.i thc banmr ot Bepublicani-m are msenb "J. in let? ters of living li'?lr, t leso words of cheer to every poor mun s Heart : "Equal political nsntfl to all men ot every race.

Whoever may be false and treacherous io the party, ii mat? ters not if we are true to ourselves. At the conclusion of Dr. Mackeys address, the chairman introduced to tho meeting A. J. Ran8ier, colored, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Republican party of South Carolina. BANSIEB'3# BE3XABES. Ransier expressed the great pleasure it gave him to meet there so many of the brethren. After some complimentary remarks of Dr. Mackey, he alluded to the efforts of the ltepnb heans in thc General Assembly, of which he was a member, to clcoi Dr. Mackey a senator from South Carolina to the Congress of tue L'iiitcd States. In thi* rffu-: tiicy were not guided by any selfish m it ?ve, or bec ius.- D-. Mackey onlortunatoly, as viewe 1 by sume, hap? pened io be boin iu Soo!ll Carolina, but be c.usj they remembered lum as the first mau who, aim-st alone, untarle I -he Union flair whoo thc F .-lierai forces landed on the shores o? South Carolia. Ih y looked at all his pxfbsoqiient political acts bom Republican sUndpoint, and from that v elected him as mo presiding officer of the c vention. In all his public actions and sneecl be proved the earnest, zealous, consistent a ive and determined Republican. Many of thc perhaps, little knew or dreamed of the priv counsels he gare to the men engaged in fra ing the ins ir nmeat .which secures the bro; est liberty and freedom to every man that li' under the present Constitution ot the State South Carolina. They justified their vote Dr. Mackey at that time u|)on the grounds had stated. Bemembering these facts, be v, led to question the motive for the removal) snob a man from a position of influence, a the more so as, iu the effort for his renn v some had endeavored lo prove, him any tin else but a Republican. The mere tact of t removal of such a man admonished them weigh and consider well the circumstanc which led to it, and the motives.of those w contributed to its success. Ho was not roady to judge or braod a Sawyer or Mr. Bowen as traitors; but he 1 lieved, when Mr. 8awyer was elected, I Mackey's removal was a foregono conclusio Whether Dr. Mackey would, if elected, ha removed Mr. Sawyer, ho was not prepared say. With all his prejudices and preference however, he wished to look at this whole me tex* calmly and dispassionately. He proposi to advise that which bc believed to be in tl interest of the entire Republican party ai the interests of the colored man. He desiri them to learn and consider whether this was fight simply between individuals, and to m that no one in the Republican party who h done his du suffer by it. Elements ere at work, he thought, calcul ted to bring about a possible division in tl Republican part r. Tbere are men among u be said, who uuf jr+unately happened to ha1 been born srmewhere else than in tbe Stato i South Carolina. Some of them are men wi fought under the Stars and Stripes, and I whom in great part they all owed the libertn they now enjoy in South Carolina ; o the tbere were, many of whom perhaps be won thrash or kick out of his kitchen, if he cane I them tbere. But from the very fact that tb* had a great fight to make, and from the fa. that there are men who may not have been rx out of South Carolina and who are their lriend it ill became them as colored mea to folio in the wake of some and join in the hue ar cry against meo den ominated as carpet-bai gera. Look at the merits of a man, and tu him if you can in the interests of Rep?blica] ism, knowing what you have at stake. Watch a these parties and judge whether a man has tl qualifications for the position you desire 1 place him in. Never ask whether he was bor m South Carolina or ont ot it, but ask whethi his advancement will be to your interests au the interests of Republicanism. He believed the respective friends of thei parties could settle tbe affair better Iban tl principals, and he believed it would ultimate be settled in that way. When the time can be would do all in his power to assist them i finding men worthy of the position sou et and true to the cause. W. H. Mishaw, colored magistrate, was tl next speaker introduced to the meeting. BE MARK S Ot W. H. MISHAW. Mishaw said be was earnestly impressed wit the importance of Republicaos taking a dec dod stand on the question which has late] agitated tbe public mind. In his feeble* judf meut the removal of such a mah as Dr. A. C Mackey did materially affect the Rep?blica paity. He thought that the leading member of the Republican party, affiliated with in every respect, are bound at all time and on every occasion to support tb best Republicana. He then asked thei to glance at tho state ot affairs. Thei had been a'removal and aa appointment. Wb had been removed and who appointed? Tbs was the only question for their considerador The removal of a man bad been effected-of man who has been foremost in organizing th Republican party, aud who bad contributed a that be had of intelligence and gnat abilit in giving them a government under wbic! they now enjoy all the privileges and immuni ties of American citizens. Who has been pu in his place ? A man who for months oppose the introduction into office of tho Rep?blica: Mayor and Aldermen olect of the City c Chariest in- a man who, upon the night prio; to the election, declared tim if tbe colore people did not vote the Republican ticket, the, would be false to every principle of manhoa and recreant to every sense of liberty, whicl the justice of Qod and tba American Congrs? had given them. Ou tho day or election, b appeared at the residence of the success it candidate and tbere announced that he hai been elected. Now for the result. A few hour afterwards he was found in tho midst of th Democratic leaders opposing the introductioi into office of the Mayor Ind Aldermei elect. H 3 agreed they should consider thit question judiciously and wisely. The remova of Dr. Mackey was effoote 1 by ono in whoa they had every CDnfll3no3-Dae who thoy be lieved to bo ono of the best Republicaos thal over walked tho streets of Charlo i ten. Aparl from person.il considerations, he bel.eved thal in the removal of Dr. Mackey and tho appoint? ment of Mr. Clark, whom Mr. Bowen d?clar?e to bo worse than a Democrat, th it iu so doins Mr. Bowen had sold himself for thirty pieces o silver. He believed that at all times and upot: every occasion public meo should have som? well defined and settled ide ts. No man sboulc bo undetermined as to tho course to be pur sued lu a matter where the question is betweei principle and policy ; and m such a case he be lieved principle ever right, and policy never tc be thone ht of. Balieving then that tho Republicans of thc City of Charleston are desirous of expressing their opinion i as to the course pursued, he submitted for their consideration tbe following preamble and resolutions, which, on motion ol Mr. Little, wero nnminnualy adopted : BES0LDIION3.

G. Prio lean, yesterday afternoon, at St. Philip's Church, there were some twenty-five or thirty of oar colored people following to its last rest? isg place the remains of their former mistress, showing by their attendance, attention to the services and good orderly behavior at the grave the great respect they had for her, who had, no doubt, in former years, performed faithfully her duty toward them. Old and kind affections still exist among many of our colored people toward their former owners, and will show themselves occasionally, not? withstanding the efforts of oarpet-baggeis and union leagues to destroy them. THE GATKRPTT.LAB OH TEE Ssa. ISLJJJDS. - While strong fears were entertained by many planters, from the experience of the past two years, In reference to the return of the cotton caterpillar during the present season, others were hopeful that the causes that produced this destructive insect would, for a time at least, cease to operate, and, with favorable weather, that a successful year might be look? ed for. The season has been unusually suit? able, according to previous theories, to prevent an insect visitation, much of the spring having been cold, while ?lay and June were unusually dry, and Ihe latter very bot. This state of the weather, with the general good appearance of the crop, caused planters to be hopeful that they had passed the worst, and that their ef? forts would be rewarded with a good crop year; but, yesterday, information was received in the city, from several of the islands, that the caterpillar had been discovered in the fields, and a specimen of the insect on a cotton leaf, which it had partly destroyed, was to be seen, yesterday, at tbe office of Messrs. 8. L. How? ard & Bro., Boyce & Co.'a wharves, which had been taken from the crop of Mr.' Lawton, on James' Island. The insect is also reported at several plantations on that island. It is as yet impossible to say what these appearance? in? dicate; but if the visit is to be as destructive as the past two seasons, tb are is every, reason to fear that full half the crop will be des? troyed._ . , THE OUSTED CITY OMTOEBS-THKB CASE BE? FORE CHIEF JUSTICE MOSES.-rho case of Messrs. W. N. Hughes, C. P. Frazer, P. C. Querry and C. N. Averill, who were recently ejected from office, was called before Chief Jus? tice Moses yesterday morning in the equity courtroom. The parties were represented by their counsel, Messrs. Lesesne ? Miles. Affidavits were read by Mr. Miles from the ousted officers, giving an account of the elec? tion, terms of office, Ac, and he gave notice that he would ask, on the first three cases, that a rule against tbe Mayor and the officers who had been foicibly put into office be grant? ed for them to show cause why a mandamus should not be issued to compel them to res? tore the offices. - Assistant District Attorney, on the part of the respondents, denied that there was suffi? cient cause shown as would warrant the court to award the rule. Mr. Miles contended that the affidavits did make out a case which would warrant the is? suing of the rule, to which the A ?sistant Dis? trict Attorney replied that he did not wish to go into an argument at this term, and desired that a rule should be issued returnable within six weeks' time, by which time the City Attor? ney would have returned. . After some further discussion, the .Chief Justice stated that he would grant a continu ance for a fortnight to oblige the*City Attor? ney, but would hear Mr. Miles now on the questiou who.her or not a mandamus was the proper remedy, and would give the Assistant District Attorney time to answer. Mr. Miles then commenced an argument on the question as agreed upon, taking the ?round that if the applicants were entitled to the offices claimed by them 1 bey were entitled to the remedy of a mandamus. At the conclusion of the argument, the Chief Justice announced that be would allow two weeks' time for the Assistant District At? torney to prepare his argument. The court then adjourned. A Card.
