THE EX-COLLECTORS SPEECH. Clark's Keeord - (Sawyer and Bowen. Shown i p-THc Senator's Bank Note Speculation-Adoptlou of Strong l(?io> lations Sustaining Mackey - What Hunaler and Misnaw bald. In accordance with previous public notice, several hundred colored and about one hun? dred white men assembled iu tho Military Hall, last evening, to hear an address from Dr. A. G. Mackey on the secret history of thc late po? litical events, (generally knowu as the Custom? house war) which has caused so much excite? ment in tho scalawag and curpot-bag wini;s of the Radicals of South Carolina. A little before cisrht o'clock the crowd com? menced to assemble, and by uiue tho hall was tolerably well filled. A police force of twenty two men, under command of Lieutenant Taft, and the mombeis of tho Detective foroo wero in attendance. Music was also provided. Ou the stund, besides the Mackey i'auaily, were Magistrates DeLirge and Mishaw, color? ed, A. J. Rausier, Aleck Williams and other colored men, hud Geo. Little and Magistrate Bunch, white. On motion of A. Williams, colored, R. C. OeLargo. colored, was called lo the chair, aud the meeting further organized by tho appoint? ment of lt. B. Artson, colored, as secretary. BQUARKS OF I>BLAKOE. Defarge, ou taking the chair, expressed thanks for the very unexpected honor confer? rad upon lum, but. said he was perhaps, like many others prc sent, acquainted to some ex? tent with the purposes of the meeting, and to a greater extent, also, unacquainted with the purposes for which the meeting was called. Recognizing themselves, however, as Republicans, and coming here as such, they were ready to bear from tho lips of others that which they might all desire- to hear as Repub? licans. Bo hoped that during the progresa of the meeting, no matter what might be said, whether pleasant or nnplesant, that freedom of t pooch would be held in /iolate, and that no act of disorder, or anything tending to dis? turb the harmony of the mooting would occur during the delivery of the addresses. In the past they bad fought several good and great battles and won many great and good victories. But their mission was not yet ended. Mnoh yet re? mained for them to accomplish, and remem? bering that in unity there is strength, he be? lieved they would with one voice discard the teachings of those who have proved themselves false to the cause of Republicanism. He hop? ed they would do nothing to bring discord or defeat to the great national party or which they were members, but unite in doing all in their power to harmoniza all conflicting ele? ments, and crown every effort ot theirs in vic? tory. Whatever might be their personal feel? ings, he hoped they would give to each and every gentleman who desired to address them the attention that their labors iu the cause of Republicanism deserved, and judge for themselves the merits of the speakers. He then introduced to the meeting Dr. A. G. Mackey, one who, he said, had labored stead? fastly and truthfully in the cause of Republi? canism, one whose shoulder has always been placed to the wbeel and car of liberty. Dr. Mackey on ooming forward was greeted with enthusiastic and continued cheering. After the cheering had subsided, Dr. Mackey said that subjects of vast importance and masnitude to the party, involving some per? sonal relations of himself, were this evening to be discussed. Expressions, be said, might in the course of an extemporaneous address be used in the excitement of the moment, which, in - the coolness of afterthought, might be regretted. As he desired that whatever he said should go before the country, as the record of his solemn convictions, not one word of whioh he would ever desire to take back, contrary to his usual custom of addressing them extemporaneously, he had guarded him? self on thus occasion by writing the words he would give utterance to, and would deliver them from a written speech. He then pro? ceeded as fellows : DB. MACKKY'e SPEECH. Fellow-citizens-I appear before you this evening in an attitude very different from any that I have hitherto occupied on the various occasions when I have bad tbe honor to ad? dress you. My own personal affairs have to some small extent become mixed up with more important public matters, and therefore before proceeding to tba discussion of those points in which, as Republicans you are deeply in? terested, it will be necessary that I should, with apparent egotism, obtrude something of myself upon your consideration. j HIS REMOVAL. I am most reluctant to lo this... No man cf any modesty likes to make himself the topic of hui discourse, and it 1 could develop? and, at? tack the secret designs, of those whom 1 am here to denounce without any reference to my? self, 1 should most gladly purdue that course. 1 oonenr with the editor of tbe Republican, in bis issue of last week, that the removal of Dr. Mackey from the OoUeotorship of. Customs is not of eufhcient importance to affect the Be publio'an party. Ia itself, abstractly viewed, it is so. The removal of an hundred office-hold? ers must not and cauhot produje any evil ef fe -ts upon our party. . But when the incidents that are grouped around thia removal are con? sidered, it assumes a very different aspect, and that which ought to have been a raatterof more personal obaracter becomes dignified with po? litical importance. If Messrs. Sawyer and Bowed,, in removing Ss, bal placed a good Republican.in my place; the post was npwiikd by any One of those ?tardy soldiers of OBX party, who have been >r mn,T t.h?n <wo ve&ra flg-btmg the battle ol republioantem in this State; i^uTa appoint Sent had been given to any well known and neted Republican, yon would have heard from te no word of complaint. The offlco was not ino by prescriptive right, and; having eujoy- | ed ita honors and emoluments for four years, I would have willingly surrendered it to as good a Republican as myself, to one who wonld have need its patronage for the advancement of oar prinotoles and who would haye wielded no In? fluence that the position gave lum for purposes inimical to our paity.. HIS ORQ??OH OE COLLBOrOE CLARK. But what has-been the fapt? 1, a Republican, ?sknowiedged everywhere to be emoh, one who an never faltered for an instant under any OLCumetanoee from my allegiance to my party, and who at the very - moment of my removal was exerting all my efforts to secure tho pa? tronage of the government which was in my hands to Republicans, have benn displaced,anil a person appointed of whom it is very difficult, fn m any th in? that ho bas ever done or said, ?> predicate that a single drop of Republican lood flows in his veins. Of Mr. Clark's per* onal character or antecedents ? have nothing n to say. lt would be indecorous tad inrelevant J to introduce such a topic into thia discussion. But as he is an aspirant for p???ncal office, as I have beou removed by bis Oongt-easional sup? porters on .the plea that nay rotentflou in office would be detrimental to the Republican party, (for tl is Senator Sawyer declares WHS his rea? son for recommends er my resjovahj and co < uently. as ho \*pd they must 'ola*m that I lr. Clark's appointment was of advantage to the party, 1 have? ':right to discuss hie polit i if lean, these rebold among ns? Who ever saw:l?miTat7' a^'Ba/publioan meeting, except, on tha,Jii?h.t .preceding.*^ Municipal election, when Ms prearmoo was to bo attribu ! ted, not so much to hil .love for Republicans, as to his indignation ror tho Democrat?; who had very winery refused to orive him the nomi? nation as Mayor, which he sought at their bands? The Democrat ic party is a very shrewd ono -ita leedors'are veterans in political war? fare, and they were too intelligent, and, Imnat pay, too honest-for however I detest their principles, I admire their consistency-to trust a man who had showed his willingness tq play fast and loose, and who seemed actuated only HE CHARLESTON DA?L by Ibo nevon cardinal principien, which consist of five loaves ana two m no fishes. Who? be woo appointed b.v mili tar y authori? ty to tho post of the Mayor of this city, did bo exercise tho vast patronado of that offloo for the advantage of tho starving Republicans who daily importuw;d lum for bread ? No. Anx? ious to conciliate tho aristocracy of the city, he sought in every WAY tfhiiatiou with the Democrats. He took Domocratsfor his coun? sellors, he appointed Democrats to offioo, and he worked, in entire ignotaucc for tho true Democratic character, to gain tho suffrage of that party. RA Wi ER ARRAIGNED. Senator Savyer, about as good a Repubhcau ss Mr. Clark, has recently boasted that not one-twentieth of tho present members of the (len cr al Assembly will bo returned at the next elect ion, but tr, at tho Legislature will consist ot an entirely different class of people. He means, of course, Democrats and Conserva? tives- in my opinion synonymous terms. Tho wish of course is boro the father of tho thought. Our honorable souator hopes to seo the ohaneo, and, therefore, thinks that by the aid ol Congressman Roweu and a few others, be can accomplish tho, to him. desirable chance. Ba , with the blessing of Heaven, b. J will bo wot ally disippointod. IS CLARE A ^ DEMOCRAT ? So Mayor Clark, in a similar short-sighted? ness, supposed that Republicanism-the party of the poor man-could nob withstand tho at? tacks of wealthy Democracy. Uo. too, sup? posed that when tho city elco ion should be ordered, aud a Mayor was to bo cnoson by tho people, that poople ?oui J be Democratic in thoir sentiments. . Ho believed that tho Domo ciats would poll the largest number of votos, and boneo, as ho iutendod to.become a candi? date Tor that profitable position, hid course of conciliation towards the Democrats was adop ed. Tho history of his adiuiniatr ltion is the history of an attempt to conciliate men who ho thought vould soon bo in power, to ut one to them by his obsequiousness for tho sin of his having been in the Federal army, although only in the harmless position of u sublet*. Look at his record. Surrounded by a Democratic ooun cil-bestowing all his patronage on Democrats -bo finally Bought the nomination of tho De? mocrat?, and it was rolused. Then, for tho moment, in a fit of spleen, he pretended to come over to tho Republican ranks and votod for tho Republican candidato. But his Repub? licanism wan very short-lived. Tho Republi? cans carried their ticket. The Dem?crata souirbt to vitiate the election, aud I blame them nob for the attempt; they had been beat? en, and they sought to quash the victory. Bat how would a Republic m have acted in Mr. Clark's place, and how did ho act? A true Republican would have lent all tho power of his position to secura th J victory that his par? ty bad gaine 1. But Mr. Clark, for months, opposed, upon every legal quibble that our Democratic combatants could urge, the instal? lation of the RepuDlioan Mayor and Aldermen. He retained tho office as long as he could-re? tained in office bis Democratic employees, and kept starving Republicana from publio em? ployment. Wo had worked hard for thia vio tory, and if for months the fruit of it was de? layed, it is Mayor Clark whom we have to thank that the tree did not bring forth. At last, a Republican Legislature was com? pelled to legislate him ont of office, and, even then, so little respect did he pty to the voice ot our party that he agaia resorted to legal subtleties before he would consent to loosen hrs ii rd s pon the beloved form of his idol office. And now, after thus served, I, a Republican, whom no disappointments could over wean from my party, who has duns: to its principles with unswerving fidelity, who baa been de? nounced by the Democratic press and by the Democratic leaders, I am removed as a detri? ment to my party, and this man, who has no Republican record stall-all of whose affilia? tions have been tendered to the Democrats-is made to assume my plaoo. 1HE CONSPIRACY. My mere removal, as I have said before, is a matter of no importance to the party or the nation. But accompanied by such incidents it assumes a suspicious shape, which entitles it to our considerations. When Senator Saw? yer and Congressman Bowen said that my re? tention in office was detrimental to the Repub? lican party, they knew that it was an untruth. They used i only bemuse in n> other way could they atfeot the President and t he Secre? tary. But behind this was concealed the real reason wbioh I shall develope in a very few words. EX NIHIL, NIHIL FIT. As I slated to S cr eta ry Bout well, the real reason of the opposition of Messrs. Sawyer and Bowen to me is to be found in the fact that as an active, open and uncompromising Republi? can. I cannot be managed by Senator Sawyer and Mi. Bowen, who, with a few others under senatorial manipul?t.on, ar? striving to estab? lish a Conservative party in Sooth Carolina by the detection of such weak Republicans as they can control, and by a combination of the Cop? perheads with certain of our native Democrats. This party, if successful, must be built up on the ruins of the Republican party. They know that 1 oin neither be bought by the hope of office nor intimidated by the fear ot losing it, to aid their unhallowed scheme, and henoe my removal must be effected that the patronage of the Customhouse may be placed m more eub e er vi oat tanas As explanatory of this theory which I pro? pound, it is necessary that I should say some tmng of Senator -sawyer's Republican record, t shall not be sparing bere, because I was first attacked, and in my defence I will use a sword as sharp as th it of my assailant. And yet I find it very difficult to say anything of the honorable senator's Republicanism. The sub? ject matter is too minute to afford mach 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 of it. Bat it would require a much greater amount of genius to concoct an 4-Essay on Senator Sawyer's Repub? licanism." The writer would not know whore to begin or how to end. The exordium and the argument and the peroration would all be comprised in one brief sentence, Ex nihil, nih?fit. * Out of nothing, nothing comes." HAWTER IS PAINTED. Let me enliven this address with a familiar and pertinent anecdote: A celebrated painter was once employed by a would-be patron of the ?rta to paint on the wall of one of his rooms a pioture of Pharaoh aud bis bost crossing the Red Sea. After a few days, the artist, having finished bia work, sent for bis patron to view it. Upon entering the room titwsaw nothing upon the wall but one vast sheet of bright red pamt. "Where," said he in astonishment, "where is the Bed Sea?" "Why, there," replied the artist, 'lt hes before you." "And where, then." asked the patron, "aro Pharaoh and bis hos tl" -'Why they are all drowned in the sea." SAWYER'S BANK NOTE SPECULATION. So, if I wore called upon, supposing I were an artist, to paint upon some wall au allegori? cal pioture of Senator Sawyer's Republicanism, I should accomplish the task as follows: I Should cover the wail from ceiling to floor with illa of the Bank of the State, purohased at len .?.I w???y -<??i,o au ?bo 4oUac nuu re? deemed by Sawyer's manipulations at their par value by legislative sot. And if any spectator were to ask me where warePenal or Sawyer's politics, I should point to the bills and say tho; he before you; and if I were Ikea asked where Sere his piiuciplos, X should say they are utt? er the bills. SAWYER NOT A BKP?BLICAN. ?But it were a waste of Mme to spend another omeot on this gentleman's Republicanism. It is too microscopio for detail?, Well did he himself say, a few days since, that he did not have a parti?le of influence with the Republican party. There is, I am ?are, uet a man in this loom who believes bim to be a Republican, or ever to have boen one. The political phrase of Shooting at a dead duok has become rather too hackneyed for repetition. Well, then, this an? dient Democrat-for in that school was he rear? ed-this man who, io his original profession, was brought to our, shores to introdnoe a new system of teaching, because all his afflliuti ns were avowed to be with Southern slaveholders, and who. in his Democracy, has returned with SH its original fervor to his first love-ibis sen? ator, elected by the Democratic votes of the ?egialature, and aeknowledgmg bli indebted ess to that balance of power, non selects his friends from among the Democrat?, and who neither writes, nor speaks, nor acts without the advice and counsel of one of the-abiewdeat and moat popular of the Democratic lenders of our city, is ant one to devise the nefarious scheme of destroying toe Republican party and bnildi?* & Virorisis conservitioi?

Mr. Bowen, finding ou bis arrival home that his treachoiy had buen marked, and was to be punished by tho party that he had basely be? trayed, has sought in soma weak wav to clear his skirts of ?.uilt by denunciations of me. all of which are based upon falsehood, and to which, therefore, I am compelled to respond. He asserts that I have persistently kept rcbuls and Democrats in office; that he has sought to induce me to remove them and to nominate Republicans in their place, and that I h ive positively retuaed to do so. No>v, in ail this there is not one single word of truth. There is not in the real tacts that have oc? curred tho slightest foundation on which, by a misunderstanding or a misapprehension, be could be accused for making suoh statements. And ha would have pursued a more manly course had he openly avowed his treachery and not addod falsehood and slander to the hat of bis crimes. Everybody knows, who knows anything of the political history of tho country, that dur? ing the last two years of the administration ot Andrew Johnson there was no possible way of getting Democrats out of office and Republi? cana in. I tried it repeatedly, but could never succeed. But General Grant baying been eleoted as a Republican Pi e lident, and Mr. Bout well, the Secretary of the 1 roasury being a well known Radical, I presura d that the time had now come when the patronage of the office I held could be bestowed on the men of my party. Accordingly, as soon as I had returned home .rom Washington, whither I had gone to view the inauguration of G eu eral Grant, and as soon as I had recovered from a severe illness which confined me to my room for some weeks, I made the first attempt. On the 15th of Apr 1,1869,1 sent to the Se? cretary of the Treasury the nomination of four good Republicana, one white and three colored men, and at the same time recommended tbe removal f four Democrats whom tho former administration bad compelled me to kaep in office. I did this ou my own motion and with? out any consultation with Mr. Bowen, except that in Washington I had told bim in the oourse of conversation that such was the gen? eral policy which 1 intended to pursue. To these nominations I received no reply, notwith? standing that I again wrote to urge some action. On Mr. Bowen's arrival In the city, I expressed my surprise at the non-action of the Department, when, with a duplicity that is seldom equalled, ho confessed his inability to say why no action had been tak :n, and ex? pressed himself well pleased with the nomina? tions that 1 had made. BOWEN'S JEWELS. Subsequently, when I went to Washington to demand the cause of my removal, I stated the fact of my having made nominations in April to the Secretary, who expressed his sur? prise at the statement, and immediately Bent for the derk in the appointment bureau. Of this clerk bo asked. "Why were not thea? nom? inations of Dr. Mackey laid before me ?" The reply was, "Because Mr. Bowen requested that they should not, as be was opposed to chem." One would suppose that this was duplicity and falsehood enough to fill the measure ot any one man's infamy. But there are other j o weis of like value in Mr. Bowen's crown; th ere are other stains upon bis character in these transactions, which the title of honora? ble, prefixed by Congressional courtesy to his name, can never wipe away. MONSTBOTJ8 TREACHERY. On the 28th of May, Mr. Bowen wrote me a letter, (I have it in ray hands,) submitting a list ot persons to be removed from the Custom? house, and asking my concurrence. This list contained sixteen names, one of them borner a black man and a true Republican. Four out of these sixteen were not under my control, as the appointments were not made by me, namely, an appraiser, who is appointed by tbe President, two steamboat inspectors, i who are nominated by the supervisor at Baltimore, the district judge and myself, and the appraiser's porter, who is appointed by the appraisers? There remained then twelve names upon which I cou ld legitimately operate. I invited Mr. Bowen to a consultation at my own honse, and there in my library be and I, with two mu? tual friends, consulted oh the nominations to be sent on to Washington. Of the twelve names that he had suggested we adopted seven, and added, by mutual agreement, three more-making in ad ten Republicans wnoae name 31 was to send to the Department. There were one Democrat and ene weak-kneed Re pubhoau left, who, for rc sons perfectly satis? factory to Mr. Bowen, wera to be retained tor a brief period. lo the list thus made by Mr. Bpwen and my? self, at my library table, be promised his hear? ty support. He stated tbat be would leave for Washington the next day, wdioh would be Sun? day, and it was tben and there agreed that on Monday I should mail the first batch of nomi? nations to Washington, and on Wednesday the second, and he promised to go to the Depart? ment and urge them through. Among the no? minations upon which we agreed were those of three men, who bad been nominated by me on the 15th of April, being the representatives of tbe three classes-a white man, a colored one, and a blaok one. Will it be believed tbat after all bis promises and assuranosa, Mr, Bowen went to the Department and again opposed the appauiuneat of these three men. men as good Repunlicans as any that we bave in our ranks, sud s??n whom ho himself bad; at my boose concurred with me in recommending ? pan duplicity and base falsehood go further ? Looking to the pledges of friendship vi ni & ted, to tbe ties of party sundered, tor the words of man spoken to man and ruthlessly r?pudi?t? ed, are you not ready to exoltim with G Jouster: "O, monstrous treachery I Can this be so; That ip alliance, amity and catos, lhere elouid be found auch false, dissembling gulle." , In all this, I "speak bv the c?rd;n thc docu? ments are iu my possBessioa, and are ready to be shown, and have already- been shown to hundreds, winch dearly show that Rit. Bowen has proved faithless to every pledge that he has made. Seven of the Republicans nominated bv me were confirmed. By Mr. Bowen's influence three were rejee ed, and three Democrats have been retained. I proposed to make a clean sweep-and according to the favorite dogma af the Democratic party that "to the victors belons the spoils," I was prepared to give no office in the Customhouse to any one who was oct a Republican. Ii this polio? Mr. Bowen promised to sustain me. I began to pursue it. Secretly and underhandedly, at Washington, lie opposed it. He resisted the appointment nf several good Republicana, and at last placed the crowning stone on his column of treachery by getting the Republican, Collector removed ind a Democrat put io his place. MOBS TBKACHKBT. But this ia not the entire Bum of Mr. Bowen's treachery to our party. He knew that every redera! office in this eity was occupied by Dem?crata or Copperheads, that of Colleotor ot Customs alone exospted. He knew that, backed by a Republican President, and a Con arreas whose Republican majority was greater than it< had ever been, the effort to remove these enemies to Republicanism, if made, must bave been snc-ea-titL He was urged to make Ibis effort by our Legislature by public moot? ing? ot his constituents, and by the prtv ite re? monstrances of friends. To every application to aid,his party by tho reu)<>vn' >f these men he was sflatit. or returned rude ind insulting answers. ; Ho, a JloDubhoati member of Con? gress, representing a Rjpubiii a i oona i nen cy, has mads not one offort bo remove a Domo cMt from Federal office iff hi? district, ern put a Republican in; ont, Ma the contrary, ex MORNING, JULY 29, 16 pended his energies in aecurhitr the removal of the only Republican who bold a Federal ap? pointment. BOWER DENOUNCED A3 A 1BAIT0B Fellow-citizens, standing here before you aa a Republican, ono to whom many of you have honored as a leader, one whom you have ap pointed as a watchman on the tower to look out for tho safety of your rights and liberties, I, in the name of tho great Ko publican party of Soutb Carolina, whom he bas deserted, de? nounce tho Hon. C. C. Bowen as a traitor to his party, I denounce him because he has aided in the removal of Republicans from omeo. <? I denouuee bim bocause be has assisted in the retention and the appointment of Demo? crats. I denounce him becauso he bas treated the remonstrances of tho Republican members of the Legislature, expressed in caucus and the resolutions of his own constituents adopted iu public meetings, with rudeness and contempt. I denounce bim because be bas stood bv as an aider and ab ttor, and HOCH every Federal omeo in this city iu the hands of Democrats or of men of no political character whatever, while bis constituent?, the boen whose votes gave bim the power wbicb he now wields, have been left out in tho cold. I denounce him bocause the men with whom ho now associates politically are men who have novar been recognized by the Republican par? ty, but men many of whom ho has bimselt de? nounced on former occasions. 1 denounce bim becauso be has become the tool of a senator, whose election he opposed on the ground that he did not, in hid opinion, represent tho Republican party, and whoso ?ort in tho donate ot the United Stales he con? tested on the ground that he had given aid and assistanc 3 to tho rebellion, and could not take tho iron-clad oath without perjury. Of this accus?lion, made on oatli before a magis? trate of Washington, tho original is on tilo IQ tho donato Chamber. BOWEN DECLARED QUILTY. Ant], lastly, 1 denounce bim bcciuso, sines his election, be has not attempted to perform ono act for the benefit of his people. With a posL?flieo to bo built, a customhouse to be re? paired and co ni Dieted, and other public works of great impoitauce to be begun, be bas not made au effort to obtain an appropriation by which employment would have boon supplied to our starving populati >n. On theso chartres I arraign him, Republicans of Charleston, belora you as a renegado, faith? less to all tba pledges he ever made to you, and treacherous to tbe party who elected Lim. How say you, is be guilty or not guilty ? Quilty, say you; then let him be taken on tbe day of the nex. general election to the polls, and there let him be politically behead? ed. And. until thon, let him be kept in the closo confinement of an intercourse witb Cop? perheads and Democrats and weak-kneed Re? publicans. And may the Lord have mercy upon bis ao?t. THE DISEASE AND REMEDY. And now, fellow citizens, we have discovered the disease; let us apply the remedy. An at? tempt is to be ir augurated to make another Virginia of South Carolina. You all know what I mean by that. The Conservatives uniting in that State with the Democrats, have recently given a political victory to tho latter party. No matter what a few journalists have said, our friends at the North thoroughly un? derstand the game, and are not dec Jived by any declarations of the Walkerites. A victory like tbat of Virginia in our State would hand over the Republican party to the tender mer? cies of the Democrats. This is the came that Messrs. Sawyer and Bowen are prepared to play. Ar? you ready to lend your countenance, your aid and assistance to the unholy acuerno ? Are you willing to surrender those precious rights whioh a bitter war of tour years, and a scarcely less bitter political strife of four years mere, have secured to you ? STAND TO YOUR ARMS. If you are not, then stand to your arms. Oppose these first attempts with vigor and maintain your opposition witb perseverance. Of Democrats manfully fighting us in open field as brave soldiers should co, we bave no fear. Twice have we conquered tbem and vic? tory still hovers over our banners. Still less need we fear a corporal's guard of turncoats, who having once sold their fnends are likely at any time "for a consideration" to sell their quondam enemies. Our former contests with the Democratic party were waged under all the disadvantages of an administration at Washington hostile to our political princi? ples. Now we have at the oapitol a President whom Republicans have put into his elevated Beat and an administration of Repnblican.rain isters. They may have made a few blunders, for whioh (hoy aro oxooaablo, boc-auae they could have had no reason to suppose that sen? ators and representatives,' professing to be Republicans, would be false to their party. But time, wbiob subdues all things, will soon overcome this baneful influence and destroy this misplaced confidence. I have every trust tn the d 'termination of the President and his Cabinet to sustain the Republican party in its struggle, and until this trust is'shaken by Borne overt act I shall contiuue to sustain the President and the administration. DIDN'T DEMOVJSOE THEM. It bas been reported tbat I have denounced the President and the Secretary of the Treasu? ry. Riv friends, the report is not true. I stand by the present administration. I am not the man to abandon my principles because of an act of personal injustice; and moreover, I acquit the President and the Secretory of anything more in my suspension than the commission of a mistake for wbioh they are fully excused by the circumstanc is of the in? fluences that weie brought to bear upon them, as for Secrotary Boutwell, no man in this country has a better record as a Republican than he; and I am ready now, as I have ever been, to light with him under the same banner. THE PARTY CAN'T BE DIVIDED. And I have been accused too of dividing tbe Republican party. My friends tue accusation is too preposterously absurd to need refuta? tion. But in faot the Republican party is not divided, and I have no tear that it will ever be in tins State. At some future period. Hea? ve 3 grant it may be far distant, we may be conquered, but if we are. we will go down with rar ? ig flying and every gnu Snug. v7e are now an unit, and we intend to remain so. The iefection of one lead T U ra do us no harm. He did not 'make the party, tbe party made ni m. As w> made him, so can we unmake mm. Without his seat in Congress he ia less than nothing. With it, having now shown bia cards, ie can do no more than speculate in a lew paltry offices. The highest market value ot ihein all, aggregated into one sum, wid nob JO sufficient, to purchase one honest man's rote. And our honor abb senator clustering around lim a few score of office-seekers, may throw tim .-elf into the arms ot the Democrats, but the gift will neither, from respectability pf maracter. amount of intelligence, or magni ;udo of numbers, be worthy of acceptance. Mr. Sawyer never was recognized as a ruo Republican; Mr. Bowen, by his want >f political integrity, has forever lost the infections and forfeited . the confidence of aia constituents. Who then, for one mo ?ont, would euopose that theso men- could divide tbe party ? No. Tho Kspublioan party1 ia now, as it bas ever been, one and indivisible, rbis morning have I learned ir rai high au? thority, that our brethren in the countty ere ?peaking on this subj Mit with but one view, their cry. from the mountains lo the seaboard, ia ' down with the traitors." and in every town tnd hamlet in oar good old commonwealth the .nm? denunciations ot tresses th.t Uv?

Etensier, colored, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Republican party of South Jarohna. * 5s? BAW?SZS'e BS*ASKS. Ransier expressed the great pleasure it gave lim to meet there so many of tho brethren, tfter some complimentary remarks of Dr. daekoy, he alluded to the efforts of the Bepnb icans in tbe Genera! Assembly, of which he vas a member, to elect Dr. Mackey a senator rom Routh Carolins to the Cen?rees of the United States. In this effort tncy were not rmded by any selfish m >tive, or because Dr. Mackey unfortunately, as viewed by some, hap to bo born in Benth Carolin?, bot be* viusy they remembered bon as the first mun who, sim ?et alone, unfurl? I ihe Union flag1 when the Federa! forces landed on the shores >f Sooth Carolin. Tiny looked at all IR9. ?1 1 ' v hi? subsequent, political act? from n Republican st\ndpoint, and from that view elected him as tno presiding officer of tho con? vention. In all his public action* and Speechen be proved tho earnest, zealous, consistent, act? ive and determined Republican. Many of them, perhaps, little knew or dreamed of thc private counsels he gave to the men encaged in fram? ing the instrument which secures tho broad est liberty and freedom to every man that lives under the present Constitution of tho State ol South Carolina. They justified their vote for Dr. Mackey at that time upon tho grounds he had staled. Remembering these facts, he was led to question the motive for the removal ot such a man from a position of influence, and tho more so as, in the effort for his removal, some had endeavored lo provo him anything else but a Republican. The mero tact of tho removal of such a mau admonished thom to weigh and consider well tho circumstances which led to it, and tho motives.of those who contributed to its sucoesb. He was not ready to judge or brand Mr. Sawyer or Mr. Bowon as traitors; but ho be? lieved, when Mr. Sawyer was elected, Dr. Mackey's removal was a foregone conciusiou. Whether Dr. Mackey would, if oleclcd, have removed Mr. Sawyer, ho was not prepared to say. With all his prejudices and preferences, however, ho wished to look at this whole mat? ter calmly and dispassionately. He proposed to advise that which ho believed to bo in ibo interest of tho entire Republican party, and the interosts of tho colored man. He desired them to learn and cousider whether this was a fight simply between individuals, and to eee that no ono in tho Republican party who has done bis Cw suffer by it. Elements oro at work, ho thought, calcula? ted to bring about a possible division in tho Republican part7. There are mon among us, ho said, who uuf jrtunately happened to havo been born seme whore else than in the State of South Carolina. Some of them arc men who fought under the Stars and Stripes, and to whom n great part they all owed the liberties they now enjoy in South Carolina ; others there were, many of whom perhaps he would thrash or kick out of his kitohen, if he caught thom there. But from the very fact that they had a great fight to make, and from the fact that there are men who may not have been run out of South .Carolina and who are their iriends, it ill became them as colored men to follow in the wake of some and join in the hue and cry against men denominated as carpet-bag? gers. Look at the merits of a man, and use him if you can in tho interests of Republican? ism, knowing what you have at stake. Watch all these parties and judge whether a man has the qualifications for the position you desire to place him in. Never ask whether he was born in South Carolina or out of it, but ask whether his advancement will bo to your interests and tho interests of Republicanism. He believed the respective friends of these parties could settle the affair better than the principals, and he believed it would ultimately be settled in that way. When the time came he would do all ia his power to assist them in finding men worthy of the position sought and true to tho cause. W. H. Mishaw, colored magistrate, was the next speaker introduced to tho meeting. REMARKS OF W. H. MISHAW. Mishaw said he was earnestly impressed with the importance of Republicans taking a deci? ded stand on tbe question which has lately agitated the public mind. In his feeble judg? ment the removal of such a man as Dr. A. G, Mackey did materially affect the Republicar party. He thought that the leading memben of the Republican party, affiliated with i m every respect, are bound at all timei and on every occasion to support thc best Republicans. He then asked then to glanoa at the state of affairs. Ther had been a removal and an appointment. Win had been removed and who appointed? Tha was the only question for their consideration The removal of a man had been effected-of ; man who has been foremost in organizing th Republican party, and who had contributed al that he had of intelligence and great abilit; in giving them a government under whicl they now enjoy all the privileges and immnni ties of American citizens. Who has been pu in his place? A man who for months oppose the introduction into office of the Rep?blica Mayor and Aldermen elect of . tue City c Charleston-a man who, upon the night prio to the election, declared thit if the colore people did net vote the Republican ticket, the would be false to every principle of manhoo and recreant to every sense of liberty, wliic the juaneo of God and the American Congres had given them. On tho day of eleotion, h appeared ac the residence of the success fi candidate and there announced that he ha been elected. Now for the result. A few hom afterwards he was found in the midst of tb Democratic leaders opposing the introductlo into office of the Mayor and Alderme elect. II-J agreed they should consider rbi question judiciously and wisely. The remova of Dr. Mackey was effected by ono in whor they had every confidence-o.io who they b( lieved to be one of th; best Republicans tha ever walked the streets of Charleston. Apar from personal considerations, he believed tha in the removal of Dr. Mackey and the appoint ment of Mr. Clark, whom Mr. Bowen deolare to be worse than a Democrat, th it in so doic Mr. Bowen had sold himself for thirty pieoes i silver. He believed that st all times and upo every occasion public mau should have som woll defined and sat tied ideas. No man sboul be undetermined as to the course to be pm so od in a matter where tbe question is betwee principle and polioj ; and in snob a case he b lieved principi? ever right, and policy never I bethought of. Believing then that tie Bopublioans of it City of Charleston ara desirous, of expressif their opinions aa to tho course pursued, 1 submitted for their consideration tbe folio wu preamble and resolutions, which, on motion Mr. Little, were unanimous ly adopted : BESOLDTIOire. j Where ie, Not one Federal offlco in this cit ??ied by appointment of the President, is nu held by a known or recognized Rep?blica and wnereas, it has been shown by olear ai indisputable evidence, mat the Nation Administration in making these appointmen has been deceived by the false repr?sent?tioi of the Hon. E. A. Sawyer and the Hun. C.) Bowen, our senator and representativo i Congress ; and whereas, it is the -Igb t of lt people, freely and fearlessly, to'xpresstbe o pm. on of the conduct of their represent laves :be ct therefore 1.

Q. Prio loau, yesterday afternoon, at St. Philip's Church, there were some twenty-five or thirty of our colored people followin? to its last rest? ing place the romains of their former mistress, showing by their attendance, attontion to the servisos and good orderly behavior at tho grave the great respoct they had for her, who had, no doubt, in formar years, porform:d faithfully her duty toward them. Old and kind affections still exist among many of our colored people toward tbeir former owners, and will show themselves occasionally, not? withstanding tho efforts of carpet-baggeis and union leagues to destroy them. THE CATERPILLAR ON THE SEA ISLANDS. - WtaUe 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 ?pring having been cold, while May and June were unusually dry, and the latter very bot. This state of the weather, with the general good appearance of the crop, caused planters to bo hopsrul that they had passed the worst, and that thei: ef? forts would be rewarded with a good crop year; but, yesterday, information was received in the city, from several ot the islands, that the caterpillar had boen 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 the office of Messrs. 8. L. How? ard & Bro., Boyce 4 Co.'s wharves, which had been taken from tbe 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 appearances in? dicate; but if tho 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 OFFICERS-THEIB CASE BE? FORE CHIEF JUSTICE MOSES.-The 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, &c, and be gave notice that he would ask, on the first three cases, that a rule against the Mayor and the officers who had been forcibly 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, danied 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 ease which would warrant ?he is? suing of the rule, to which the Assistant 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 question wheller 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 ground that if the applicants were entitled to the offices claimed by them 1 hey were entitled to the remedy of a mandamus. At the conclusion of the argument, thew 3bief Justice announced that he would allow two weeks' time for the Assistant District At? torney to prepare his argument. The court then adjourned. A Caird?
