THUSIASM. /. ft . y-t SPEECHES OFM. P. O'CONNOR, EsQ,., AND THE HON. R. B. CARPE STE H. Agreeably to the published announcement. tiiottiantisoVour citizens aisemb?ed lastoren 1 ng ^E'front o? the Charleston Hotel, for the purpose of attending the meeting called to ratify the nominations ot the Unlon Reform Convention. : For more than two hours the clouds had been lowering and the elements every moment . threatened a deluge. Notwithstanding these ^adverse circumstances, the spacious corridors a^'?-piazzas of tho hotel were thronged with laijles aud gentlemen until there was pcarcely standing room left, while the' broat? street in front of the stand was pac?ecT-vvith an eager multitude. At the honr appointed for the commence? ment of the proceedings, the lightnings flashed and the thunder roared, to a degree well calculated to excite the liveliest desire to retreat from a threatened inundation; but even after a heavy rain began to fall, not more than two or three hundred of the immense audience retreated from the scene. From beginning to end the interest mani? fested by the meeting was a convincing proof of the abiding fhlth of the people of Charleston in the prospects of the campaign, and in the enlarged princi? ples of truth and right which govern, and direct, the mighty movement whose Bole object is the redemption of the State from a rule of ignorance and corruption. TUE STAND. A stand had been erected in front of the vacant lot opposite the Charleston Hotel, which was decorated with flags and brilliant? ly illuminated. This was occupied by many of the prominent white and colored citizens identified with the present political movement. Music for the occasion was furnb&dd by Mul? ler's famous Eutaw Band, 'whose enlivening strains added to the pleasures of the evening. Punctual to the hour announced, the meet? ing was called to order by E. W. Marshall, Esq., on whose motion the Hon. M. P. O'Con? nor was elected chairman. REMARKS OF THE HON. M. P. O'CONNOR. Mr. O'Connor was received with cheers as he came forward, and with his usual spirit and polish^ spoke as follows: Fellow Citizens oj South Carolina.-la ac? cepting your Invitation to preside over the deliberations of this meeting, I take the occa? sion to say, that I address for the flrst time to? night a new State and a neto people-a new State since the execution of the reconstruction laws, and a new people since the ratification of the Fifteenth constitutional amendment. These laws are so Inseparably Interwoven with the amendment which was the culmination of their policy, that their duration is as f.5ed and as permanent as the amendment Itself, subject only lo be changed as the constitution may be changed, which will pass away only when popu? lar self-government has been surrendered or abandoned by the American people. The de? cree has gone forth, ratified by more than three-fourths of the States of the Republic, that no citizen shall be abridged of his right to vote, nor deprived of the ballot,'on account of the color of his. Bkin-guaranteeing to al!. In the exercise of the Inestimable right of suf? frage, that* there shall be no distinction on account of race or color. Othe; qualifications may be annexed, and other distinctions by the conventions of society must prevail, but in the forum of politics the distinction ?of color ls blotted out and extinguished forever. [Loud cheers.] Standing upon the soil of my native State, In presence of the ass ?mblid thousands of her metropolis, I repeat o you, as my firm and honest conviction, that this decree cannot and should not be ever reversed. I render under lt not the forced and compulsory submission exacted by necessity, but the cheerful obe? dience of an approving mind and willing heart. This fundamental change in our institutions, wrought tn furtherance of that enlarged and liberal spirit of justice which seeks the eleva? tion and Improvement of all men, and which is the distinguishing feature of the pre? sent age, ls now Incorporated into the organic law of the Republic, and upon her banners have been Inscribe!, in leeters of living light, equal laws, equal rights, and toual jus? tice to ail men. The chasm which has hereto? fore divided the two classe? of our community politically, has at last been spanned, and may every arrow from the quiver of discord be burled In Its dark abyss forever. My country? men, lt is vain-you should not, and must not, In the exigency of this hour, look back upon the past, but, for the well-being of so? ciety, under the new dispensation, look for? ward hopefully and manfully to the future. [Applause.} No essential difference ot political creed seems now to divide our people, bnt for the honor and welfare of South Carolina, and for the salvation bf her people from ruin and fur? ther degradation, a change in the administra? tion of her government ls absolutely and Indis? pensably necessary. The cry of Reform I Re? form ! 1B borne upon the winds from the moun? tains to the seaboard, and its echos, taken np by this vast throng, are sent aback to resound along our borders, and ring through the val? leys of our State. The people are alive to the necessities of the times. The State yearns for a Just, a wise and an economical government. Corruption, like a cancer, ls eating Into the very bowels ot the common wealth. The malignan t and unrelenting.party spirit of those in power, beut upon the preservation of their licentious and profligate power and the ag? grandizement ot a select few at the expense of the masses, pretentiously and hypocritically assuming to be the especial friends and guar? dians of our newly enfranchised fellow-citi? zens, bas engendered amongst them the fell spirit of hatred and distrust ot class for class, that they may longer fatten upon the spoils and gloat over the ruins of an outraged and impoverished people You, my fellow-citi? zens, you who have lately been baptized in the waters of freedom, and who have just been raised to the dignity of politi? cal equality; beware how tar you heed the ad? vice and obey the seductive influences of these leaders. I tell you "they have been weighed In the balance and found wanting." [Cheers.] In the administration of the government they have made our State a scoff and a by? word ol reproach among the nations. The present Legislature, bribing and being bribed, exhibiting to the civilized world a spectacle of human depravity and moral turpi? tude unparalleled in Infamy, which has evoked the censure of .-all honest men, and been stig? matized as a nuisance by the Nation, the Phil? adelphia Press and other leading and distin? guished Journals of the Republican press of the country. The Executive officer or your gov? ernment, who should be the guardian ot the rights of her people, and the defender of their honor, not long ago thought proper to arraign a large portion ol her people as malefactors, and to Insult them within the hearing of Con Eess, in the presence of the American people, the capitol or the nation. Oh, shame, where ls thy blush ! This same party comforted an outcast from Congress, and encouraged by favors a deluded and two confiding constituency to return the Congressional convict covered all over with the slime of bis corruption, to have the dis? grace of our State by his second expulsion re? peated by an indignant assembly. They have passed agrarian laws, and voted tax bills which have amounted almost to confiscation of your lands, and in many instances have ap? plied the monies derived therefrom to other than the legitimate purposes of government. They have Imposed upon us the grievous bnr den of a vastly accumulated State debt ! And, worse than all, they have by servile appeals to the baser passions of human nature fanned into a fresh flame the baleful Aros of prejudice lighted up since our late unfortunate civil war, and down to this day, the 20th of July, .1870, more than five years alter the declaration of peace. I hear the cry of loyal ! loyal ! a word that should be stricken from thevocab .ularyofafree Republic. When at this time. In' the presence ol the formidable power of this RepofcSe, with her policy everywhere predom inant, and ber arms, and her-arts everywh triumphant, I hear a Northern politician c inp "loyal !" "loyal !" "methinks I hear I bugle blast of the robber-band," and whe hear a Southern man crying, loyal ! loyal snuff tyranny and corruption In the "talnl gale." Shad these things continue, shall Soi Carolina be left a prey to .the vampires w are- sucking her life' blood, and wb glutted will abandon her carcass ? Are cc science, honor, virtue, all exiled ?' Is thc no fond spirit left to paint the ruined Sta: renew her ancient glories and reanimate b sinking form ? South Carolina once the pron est ol'her peers, the rival of Massachusetts erudition and all that was great and good, t equal of all others lu her palmiest days-a we not inhale Borne of that all-pervading pl lanthropy that circles around us, take by t hand the untutored, lift up the lonely, ai move in one united front to the redemption the State ? The banner of Union and Refor has been thrown to the breeze under whl WK may rallv for the liberation of the Sta from misrule. Our standard bearers a already In the field. The Hon R. B. Carpe ter, ot'Charleston, and General M. C. Butli of Edgefield, have entered the list and pledg their untiring efforts for the movement, f the restoration of that prosperity, happine and union of the whole people of South Car Una. In closing my remarks it only remains f me to ask a patient and attentive audience f oar distinguished candidate for Gov?rnc whom I have now the honor to Introduce you -the Hon. R. B. Carpenter. [Loi cheers.] While Mr. O'Connor was speaking, lt raini heavily, but the audience showed both th? courtesy ai d interest by remaining almost i tact When, ?V conclusion, ; Mr. O'Connor 1 traduced the Hon. R. B. Carpenter, the ra poured la-torrents, and it was (eared that tl meeting'would, of necessity, be adjourns But with thatcharacterlstio-plnCk which marl everything done, by Judge Carpenter, th gentleman insisted on proceeding with li speech, discarded the- proffered umbrella and, bareheaded and in the pelting rain, wit out the slightest perceptible falling off In t audience ot five thousand persons, held the enchained while he delivered the following i marks. It is needless to say that the appes ance in front of the platform of Judge C*?pe ter elicited the cheers of the muU'.tude,aithou| there was a knot of ooi^red men and boys, wi doubtless had teen delegated for the purpos on the It-it of the platform and under it, wi from the beginning to the end of the mee tin did ali they dared to disturb the speakers. SPEECH OF Jl'DGE C AUPENTE E. My F&Uow-citizens-If anybody supposes th a shower ot rain like this ls unpropitious, 1 is mistaken. On the contrary, I look upon as one of the blessings which Providence r serves In store lor South Carolina. As tl earth responds with its abundant crop and ? nature smiles more sweetly, so will the c reer upon which we of the Union Reform pa ty have started-a career in which we cai even now, anticipate the renewing and frucl ficatlon of our grand old Slate. If these wei the only elements with which we had to coi tend, I should feel that God himself was speal lng to us with His lightning, and bid us spec forward in the language of His thunder-head [Great cheering.] Gentlemen of Charleston, that patriot! body of men, representing the Integrity, ii dustry and capital of the State, who met i Columbia, on the 15th of last month, honore me with a nomination for the distinguished o flee of Governor ol South Carolina. While am fully sensible of the great distinction thu conferred, and of the dignity and magnitude c the office itself, I have neither directly nor in directly sought that exalted position, because in my Judgment it might more properly havi been tendered to some one of the many gal Iant native sons of the State, those who,-fi the past, were, and In the future must be, ne; representative men. Considerations of a per sonal character bushed the strong voice of am bltlon, and Inclined me, not indeed, to sloth fulness, bnt to peaceful and congenial labor, The scene of my life, before my location in thh generous, hospitable and plundered city, was in the mighty West, amidst its majestic rivers, broad valleys and grand old forests; Its action. Incesant combat; Its results, little more, per haps, than, .true friends and implacable ene At/the time ot nur nomination ali this had changed. I occupied an exalted, station, had discharged Its duties and/responslbllltl?s In a manner that met the': approval of the' honest and Intelligent If I missed the warm grasp of the tried friends oft yore, I had no enemies, save those o fia wand order. My hours of re? laxation'Were'trpent Un social intercourse with a people;Temar'kable for their Intellectuality, urbanttyr.and refinement. To leave this honor and laud,qh rnyi bark Btpon che stormy Bea ol peWO?a?conq?ct fcnd poUttraTcomrnotion, re? quired all toe fortlttideVwhloh fr possessed. fcfiersjT J V \\ N*^ g) Besides ail (Bis, / knew, the foes,wi th whom wa^ave^o contend-nofhoneatmeh, nor open and manly adversaries, armed with truth, meeting reason with argument, and battling in a fair field for the honor and prosperity ot the State; but the d?bris of penitentiaries, fugi? tives from Justice, and ravenous wolves who have come to claim the last drop of blood from the Palmetto State. Their weapons are In harmo? ny with their detestable character. Their aver? ments, malignant falsehoods; their proofs, per? jury. To this general statement there are a few exceptions, and they are more remarkable than the rule, lor how any honest and Intelligent man can act with a body who are well known to be furtive thieves and public robbers, almost beggars human credulity. I have been charged with a violation of almost every command In the Decalogue. By whom are these charges made, and what ls the proof to sustain them ? They are made by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Treasurer and Comptroller-General, through their Infamous tools and purchased slaves, the editors of the hydra-headed organ of the scott Ring, published here; (loud cheer? ing;) men who drive the soft embrace of slumber from their eyelids to study the delightful science of libel, and meditate upon the sweets ot falsehood, and early rise and make "most hellish meals of good men's names." This sewer of calumny and cesspool of detraction is owned In great Eart and controlled entirely by the corrupt lng who now rule this State to Its lasting detriment and their own enormous profit. [Tremendous applause.] Do you ask why that sheet la hydra-headed and not entitled to belief f Because lt ls Itself a representative of the swindling pertinacity of its owners. It ls because lt publishes in the city of Charleston three papers, or* dubbed with the name of this city, one with that of Beaufort and one with that ot Columbia. And by thus triplicating its issnes lt commands from the State three prices for every adver? tisement, each price being, I undertake to say, doubl? that which ls pala to any other paper in the State. This is the precious sample of honesty and public decency from which ema? nate the charges that I nave bribed the Legis? lature-charges, my folio w-cl tl zens, which are not made BO much against me as against you, the people, that those who are in power and who own tnls Infamous organ, which seeks to control public sentiment may keep them? selves, out of the penitentiary. [Prolonged cheering.] It has been said In the columns of that paper that I bribed the Legislature. Well, Heaven knows, that was not much to do ! [Laughter.] And tho charge is made by the acting Lleuten ant-Govcrnor, the Codifier of the Laws, the City Attorney, the Phosphate Attorney, the United States District Attorney. If I have for? gotten any of his titles I beg his pardon. And tnat he, the owner of the honors aforesaid, actually did bribe a judge of thc State to ren? der such a decision as best would suit his in? terests. What ! that immaculate specimen of mortality bribe a judge ? [Laughter.] Gen? tlemen, the confession only illustrates the weakness to which these euemies of honesty and political decency are reduced in order that they may fortify themselves In the offices they hold, and thus be enabled to continue their depredations upon the treasury of the State and the purses of the poor. [Great applause.] Up to the present time I nave paid no atten? tion whatever to these allegations, and I do not propose to do so in the future, because they emanate from a source which lt would defile a man to handle; but here and at all times I am prepared to answer any respectful question that may be asked by an honest fel? low-citizen. When thieves and public robbers Interrogate me, I plead to the jurisdiction. [Applause.] Itwouldbea very pleasant thing for thieves, no doubt if they could accuse a Judge, or take their place on a Jury, or play the part ot the solicitor; but I have been taught to know that criminals must stand In the dock, be arraigned, tried, found guilty, and sent to the penitentiary tor punishment. It is for this reason that f plead to the juris? diction, and refuse to bo tried by those who have assumed the Hon's skin to hide their Igno minloua identity. I repeat, therefore, any gentleman wishes to ask me any qui I am here to answer lt frankly and trutl A Voice. Tell us about the Phosphate Judge Carpenter. I am glad you ha forded me the opportunity of doing BO. shareholder J was Interested in a phoi company, about which much has been wi but, understand me, I did not sell my v a legislator to become a shareholder, not imitate the example o? some of thosi have made these charges. I was simply vate individual, and, using my prlvllej 6uch, I made an investment of my mean was a right which belonged to me as mi to any man in this audience. But when covered that these Interests would pro become matters of litigation, occupyim official position which I did, as a man of! I felt in duty bound to dispose of those ests. and I accordingly disposed of then was a personal transaction, and what I obtained for a bond fide business intere gitlmately acquired, is no man's businesi my own. I moreover emphatically de that I have never approached a member < Legislature and asked him to vote fo Phosphate bill, or any other bill. The tru that an honest man could have done very with the Legislature, and about that t was personally anything but popular wit! members of the General Assembly. A Voice. How about the Orangeburg c Judge Carpenter. I have simply to saj I decided that case as I have every ot he cording to the law; and lt is not for thl dience to impugn the motives of a man until ho was nominated as a candldati Governor was not suspected of doing a that an honest, upright and a lust judge r. not do in the performance of the sacred Hons of his office. I wish lt to be unden {Uso that I make this denial,' not becausi charge came from a source for which : contempt, but because it originates witt of the people-a sovereign whose opinion sped and to whose integrity I pin my fait I desire no higher, endorsement than which crowned my official labors on ret from the bench of this circuit. For two j I presided over the office of registrar in f ruptcy. and subsequently, for two years, 1 formed the duties of a judge. And when signed the latter position, the Bar of Cha ton, as astute, high-toned and discrimin?t body of gentlemen as can be found in Ame presided over by the Nestor of the Bar o btat9-ex-Chief Justice Dunkin -offlclall; Qiared that ? had proved a faithful and at right Judge. [Applause.] I desire no hi commendation; and if the people of 8 Carotina choose to believe the slanders of a Ring as exists In Columbia, with a paid a to represent their vinifications In Charle: let them do lt. [Great applause.] This ls not my fight. It ls not me the j striking down; lt is the people of South ( lina against whom their blows are aimed, contest ls not merely one of men, but of r and power. It is a contest, first, to enabl Infamous Ring of plunderers to keep thel gotten gains; secondly, to enable them t tain their places, that they may contint rob and pilfer the treasury and the people; thirdly, that they may prevent the laws i being executed, to the end that they may I their carcasses ont of the penitentiary. ( mendous cheering and some Interruptions I desire those men immediately in fror me to understand t hat they must either 1 order or be put out of this meeting. I am here to be bullied, and whatever the rei may be, I Intend-to speak and to be he [Great applause and cries of "That's so."] Let us for a moment examine the condl of South Carolina when General Scott assu: the control of the State. A devastating bad exhausted the resources of as galla; people as ever bore arma. For three year more they struggled hard to obtain br with scarcely the means to gather their cr and fatality attending all of their exertli Misfortune covered the impoverished S like a pall. Under these circumstances v, did Governor Scott do ? Instead of econoi lng the resources.TJ? the State so that Its I dens should rest but lightly upon the peo you will find, by the report or his own coi troller-general, that, without any good rea whatever, he added to the then exist public debt of the State the enormous sun eight million dollars. Where, fellow-cltlze dla this money como from ? At came from laboring classes. It came from you, ev hour of whose labor ls divided between support yon owe your families and the wi you unconsciously perform for the pub Every eblp that sails upon the ocean; ev< railroad in the country; every edifice that re its head in town or city; the property on wh the wealth of a community ls embraced, more or less, the product of human lab And yet, these men who pretend to love t colored man, to be the especial friend of t white workingman, load the results of bis : dust ry with a debt of $8,000,000, and ask thc to sustain an administration that ls writt all over with inconsistency and extravagant I honor the poor laboring man who wor day by day, in a hard struggle with fate, supply the wanta of his family, and I tell yo my countrymen, that if Christianity is not fable, the angels of God look down with a sml upon him wno dedicates his services to li wife, who is his queen, and to his chlldre who are his subjects. But I desire to see th poor man protested, and when a body of rap cioiu officials use the power whioh cireur stances have put in their hands to bene themselves at his cos;, I. for one, feel ill stepping to the front and using whatever poi ability I may possess, to the end that the wrongs may be righted. And they may fe they nave at least one champion who dan speak tbntruth. [Applause.] Eight fnillions ot additional debt ! That the first count in the Indictment ! A Voice. Tell us more about the bribery ! Judge Carpenter. Well, gentlemen, by tl charges of their own organ against me, those charges are to be believed, not an In portant bill passed the Legislature wlthoi bribery. The State Treasurer, with the coi nlvance or other State officers, went to Ne York and pawned the bonds of South Carolin to obtain the money with which to bribe th General Assembly, and the State Treasure telegraphed back, under an assumed name, th: he had got the funds. Whu paid for all that The laboring man. [At this point there was some Interruptio as if the Ring feared the exposure which wa to follow.] I want those people who are making a nols to understand that order must be pr?serv?e and if they refuse to yield to reason, othe measures will be employed to enforce ordei I believe In free speech, and free speech I at bound to have; and, If lt be necessary. Ian ready to test the question now and here. [The malcontents subsided ] bo much for the State Treasurer. Who re commended the passage of the Gold bill Governor Scott Who paid the Legislatur? for its passage? Governor Scott Who wa in the Ring that bought State bonds ? Gov ernor Scott? Why? To benefit the State No ! to benefit himself. Why should the Inter est be paid In gold ? The great 8tate of Ohio with a taxable property ora billion, and a rev? enue of $20,000,000, does not pay its interesi in coin; nor does the great State or Pennsyl? vania, with even more property and more rev? enue. And yet with this swollen debt upon otu hands, as If that was not enough, under the circumstances, to crush poor South Carolina, you, the workingmen, are required to aid In the payment of the interest in coln. Who own the bonds ? The Ring in New York and Columbia. Who must pay that Interest in gold ? You. the agriculturists and working? men of South Carolina. [Cheers.] The Sinking Fund bill. Who recommended that? Governor Scott in his message. It Erorldes that he may sell everything the State as, when he pleases, and for any price he chooses to name. [Laughter and cheers.] Already they have sold the Greenville and Columbia Kallroad stock, and the South Caro? lina Railroad stock, and they will gobble It ail up between this and next October. But what they do not get by that time they never will get at all. [Cheers and laughter.] For 1 pledge you that if the people do their duty, they will thee speak In thunder-tones In be? nair of Retrenchment and Reform. I pledge you, that if we faithfully adhere to our plat? form and work as we onght to do, when the Ides of October come every railroad train will be crammed with thc rascals getting out of the State to save themselves from getting into the penitentiary. [Vociferous applause.] The chairman, who preceded me, said that this Governor Scott made a speech at Wash? ington, la which he stated that South Carolina was a nest of assassins. If the Governor has been In South Carolina two years, and execu? ted the laws to so little purpose, I think lt is about time that he was kicked out of the State. But that ls not all. In that speech Governor Scott counselled the colored people of the State to organize In companies and regiments, not to keep the peace, but as an Inducement to commit murder I Think of lt ! The first peac.! officer of the State, In the capital of the nation, declares that-Winchester rifle law ls the law for South Carolina. A Voice. Are you opposed to the militia ? Judge Carpenter. I was a soldier in war and not a soldier in peace. [Great applause.] When the people of South Carolina were op? pressed by enormous debt and taxation, to take $50,000 for the purpose of organizing thc militia, was an outrage upon the State. There was no need of lt, for there was no trouble in the country eave that which thia corrupt Ring and their associate thieves were lnci?n?r. The truth is, I imagine his' Excellency ls a great deal more fond of- talking about Win? chester rifles than of using them. Let me say right here, however, thatlf the Ring can win this election by fair means they shall have the offices. But I declare, before High Heaven, that Winchester rifles shall not carry the day. [Cheers.] Two parties can play at that game. [Renewed cheering.] Nor shall they wtn the election by stuffing the ballot-boxes when the voting is done. [Tremendous applause.] j Governor Scott, too, has done hi? best to antagonize the two races and disturb that har? mony in which the people bad lived. This is a point upon which 1 need not dwell, for all who hear me are perfectly aware of the char? acter ol' the relations which lt ls Important to preserve between the white and the colored citizens of the State. A Voice. What ls the diff?rence between the Union Reform party and the old Democratic party of South Carolina? [At this Juncture, there was another attempt at Interruption, whereupon the chairman, Mr. O'Connor, said: "I ask my friends, in Justice to themselves and to the city In which they live,, to maintain order. As . the chairman of this meeting, lt is necessary for me to sustain its character. I intend to do so. And if Lt cannot be done in any other way, I will call for a committee of five hundred men.'* Long applause] judge Carpenter. The Democraticparty In the past had its own principles, whatever they were, they join hands to-day with all hon? est Republicans; not upon a political Issue, but for the purpose of effecting a reform In the internment of the State. No- man becomes a tepublican by voting for me, although I am a Republican; and no man becomes a Democrat because he votes for my gallant and noble col? league, General Butler. This is my answer to the question: [Applause.] In conclusion, allow me to say, brierly, tbat I intend to carry this campaign to the bitter end. I war with dishonesty, treachery, cor? ruption and falsehood, in behalf of integrity, honesty, patriotism and virtue. I shall not be moved by personal assaults, nor by the threats of assassination that have been made, if I do not stop denouncing this corrupt Ring. If Heaven will let them, they may assassinate, but I shall not, until then, cease the work upon whioh I have entered in behalf of the people. [Loud cheers.] We have just passed through a desolating war, in wh.'.ch I the' American soldier, wherever he fooght, reared a monument of fame that will, be as en? during as civilization itself. And. by that noble and patriotic heroism that stimulated us in days gone by, let us, once more engage in a labor, the object or which is the regeneration of a people. The chances are all in our favor. The influences against us are many. The carpet-bagger who has come here to fill his purse is against us; all of the three hundred thieves and robbers pardoned out of tbe penitentiary that they might become vo? ters are against us; all who are Tn the penitenti? ary are against ns; all who ought to go to the penitentiary are against us. But who for us ? Honest and Intelligent men are for us; the bones of the widow and orphan cluster around the flag of the Union Reform party; the prayers of the pions ascend to Heaven In our behalf; and, finally, eternal j UBI Ice ls with us in the grand conflict. [Great ap? plause.] In honor then of South Carolina, by the memory of your Sumter, and your Marlon, and your Ptnckney; by the mem? ory of your proud old past and ot that golden future, full of hope, which rises up before the vision Of your young men, upon whose energy and indomitable will our salva? tion depends; by all you anticipate for your wives, your children and your firesides, I Invoke you to go into this movement with a determination and an enthusiasm that shall know no defeat. [Cheers and cries of "We Will !"] The battle is yours-the results will belong to you. And the man who, under these circumstances, with so much that ls dear to him at stake, does not enter with all his heart Into the contest for the right, does not deserve tho name ot Caroli? nian. Sink your prejudices aS to candidates in a desire to further the Interests of j Our causo. When this ls done you may march* forward in the broad path of duty, conscious that the blessings of Heaven will rest upon you, and that In the end you will attain that glory, honor and prosperity which of right belong to the people of South Carolina. [Long-continued cheers and applause.] Colonel T. Y. Simons then offered the fol? lowing resolutions, which, being put by the chairman, were adopted: resolved, That the Union Reform party, hav? ing for Its sole object the redemption of the State of Sooth Carolina, and the return to good and honest government, invokes the in? telligence, the worth and the patriotism of the people to its support. Resolved, That lt ls earnestly recommended to the people of Charleston to assemble in their respective wards, and to the other por? tions of the county In their election preclnots, and Immediately organize Union Reform Clubs, so that, side by side and shoulder to shoulder, they may succeed in establishing the right, and overthrowing corrupt government and oppressive misrule. The chairman then announced that a tele? gram bad been received during the meeting from General M. C. Butler, and that he was detained at home by Illness. This absence was a cause of deep regret to General Butler; a regret which, the chairman knew, would be shared by the citizens of Charleston, who ad? mired and respected that chivalrous soldier and gallant gentleman. The chairman then announced the meeting adjourned. RADICAL JOURNALISM.-A half sheet with one blank page, with the euphonious patronymic of "Shoo, Fly," made Its appearance yesterday, bearing a striking family likeness .to the Mis? sionary Record, from which office, we presume, it ls Issued. It is published by Daddy Cain, for R. C. De Lar ge. and is doubtless intended as a campaign paper in the interests of tbe latter in his contest with Bowen for Congressional honors. It ls filled with abuse of his competi? tor and his party, while they have about as ex? alted au opinion of DeLarge and his party. Really the Augean stables of the party need cleaning, when Its own members have such an opinion of each other. But we withhold a more extended notice of this young aspirant for public favor, and let the two following para? graphs, which we take from its columns, speak tor themselves : We have been informed that a council was held by certain magnates, and it was decided that If Mr. Bowen can secure a majority of the delegates In the nominating convention, that he wit! secure the nomination for Governor himself; but if uot for himself, he will cast his influence for D. H. Chamberlain for Governor. Now, If the people wish to be cheated, let them trust to these men and they will see them? selves flanked on every side. There ls too much at stake to trust these gamblers and taro dealers; they will stakr* rour salvation on any number, and play you away in one night. And again, under the head of "DOWD with the corruptionists," il belabors B?wen after this wise : There never was a more glaring exhibition of corruption than is now being practiced by the Bowen lactlon, on John's. Wadmalaw and I Edisto Islands While we were speaking, some of our men, who were on the watch, saw some ot them slipping money into thc hands of some ot the delegates, who were elected on the Bowen ticket. This is the programme, to buy ap the rights of the people through the men whom Mr. Bowen has employed. Nearly every col ored man in the Customhouse is off duty, work? ing for Bowen, but every white man is at his post; If a vessel had come in this or last week, there was not a man in town to board her from the Customhouse, so we were Intormed. On Wadmalaw Island there were about fifteen Customhouse mee at the meeting, all crying for Bowen. Hon. D. H. Chamberlain was there urging the re-election of Mr. Bowen. On Edisto, alter the speaking, Mr. Bowen was taken by a white man In his buggy and carried to dinner, but his biack companions were left on the ground to walt his return. Hotel Arrivals-July 30.
