AO i?i.V....v r] alte action in regard to thc present cri?is bc twt>en France and Prussia, was very largely attended, and the enthusiasm which prevail?! waa Intense. At 8 o'clock over SOO persons of every class of French society were crowded into the spacious parlors of the place of meet? ing, while a crowd of sympathizers, unable to obtain admission, was gathered outside, and caused no small surprise to the fashionables supping In the lower dining-rooms by their excited talk and gestures. M.Gerdy,having been chosen president, made a brief but stirring ad? dress. He had always considered war a great ca? lamity, but their hearts had reached their couotxy's appeal and were ready to answer. Prussia wished to dismember France, aud even dared to lay claim to Alsace and Lorraine, forgetting how the people of th03e provinces rose en masse and furled the Br nus wickers beyond the French frontier. He stated the i object ot the meeting to be to make arrange? ments for a sub-scrip ion to aid the wounded and the widows* and orphans ot those who might be slain in the national cause. Mr. D. J. Touhy, an Irishman, asked permission to speak; he had lived twenty years In New York and knew that his countrymen sympathized with the French, not only on account of- traditions and history, but because the war was declared one between the Saxon and Celtic races. If France desired Irish aid it would be afforded, for nothing would please an Irishman more than to fight under a leader like McMahon. [Applause.] In con' elusion the speaker suggested a vigilance com? mittee, to see that the neutrality laws be strictly enforced, and a mass meeting of French and Irish citizens to counterbalance the effect of the Prussian demonstration. Af? ter stirring speeches by Mr. Strauss and Mr. Fortwengler, a subscription committee of twenty was chosen, consisting of some of the most prominent and Influential French citizens of New York. Mr. Lasalle afterwards address? ed the meeting, and, before its adjournment, over $3000 were taken in subscriptions. A Word to tile South Carolina Re. publican*. The respectable Republicans, who have made South Carolina their permanent home, must, if they have an ounce of- worldly wis? dom, support with their votes the Progres? sive party, whose watchwords are Union Retrenchment-Reform. They may hang -back until the last moment, and go with re? luctance to the ballot-box; but they must vote with that party which alone, in this State, promises them a faithful and capable government which will protect all men, whatever their color or condition, and en? able every class to live in honesty, decency and comfort No sacrifice of political principle is de? manded of any Republican who sustains the Union Reform party. All that he is asked is, to. protect his owu interests, to work for his own good, to disavow all connection with the rogues and dolts who are opeuly repudiated by the independent Republicans of the Northern and Western States. The cardinal doctrine of the National Re? publican party, during the past ten year3, has been the emancipation of the slaves, and, its radical corollary, universal, or im? partial, suffrage. By the Thirteenth amend? ment to the Constitution of the United States, involuntary servitude, except for crime, is abolished; and, by the Fifteenth amendment, the denial of the right to vote on account of race, color or previous condi? tion is absolutely prohibited. These amend? ments are recognized as a binding portion of the organic law of toe country. Up to this 'point there ?3 no difference between the South Carolina Republican and the South Carolina Democrat The only distinction between them is, that the Republican, of bis own accord, fought and voted to engraft these principles upon the Federal and State Constitutions ; while the Democrat fought and voted against them, although, now that-not? withstanding his opposition-they are the ?aw, be accepts them as such, and yields to them an implicit obedience. This is the only distinction. And the Republican who works with the Democrat as a Union Reformer no miora compromises a political principle than does the'Republican Congressman who, upon a particular measure, votes against his Re? publican colleagues and, as a matter of course, accepts the result of the voting, whether it be in accordance with his own opinions, or contrary to them. On the other hand, the Democrat, in obeying the laws of the country, no moro compromises his political principle than did the Jacobites, who, after years of disaster and defeat, be? came the loyal subjects of William or Anue. It is a well-settled principle that the laws must be one ye J, whatever may be thought of their wisdom or justice. The choice is between obedience and revolution. This last is not dreamed of by the Democrats of the South. They must, therefore, and do, obey the law. When, then, the honest Re? publican and honest Democrat unite in a crusade against corruption and vice, they occupy the same ground, and neither caa justly be said to act inconsistently, or to abandon a political principle. It will be said, however, that there are other questions which divide Republicans from Democrats and make it difficult for them to work together as political allies and Mends. Free Trade, as opposed io Protection, is not a party: issue, for there are Republican free-traders and Demo? cratic protectionists. The same may be said of the new-fangled notion of Woman's Suf? frage. In truth, thc only national question which divides the two parties at this time, 13 w . ; ?r the General Government shall be suyr ?Oj or whether the States shall control their own affairs, being, as States, wholly independent of the interference of Congress, within the limits prescribed by the United States Constitution. This is the one great question which divides Republi? cans and Democrats, but upon the State canvass in South Carolina it has no bearing whatever, nor does it in any sort or'shape affect the adherents of either side in their connection with the Union Re? form party. The work before this people is the regeneration of the State Government, not the contraction or expansion of the powers of Congress; so that the ojaly antag? onizing question is out of sight, and should be out of mind, while the gQod people of the State labor and strive to obtain a govern? ment which shall be neither Democratic nor Republican, but the worthy representative of all South Carolina! There being no valid parly reasons why the respectable Republican should not march with his friends and neighbors under the banners of. Reform, he is, Tree to act as ms y be best for his own interests, for the securi? ty: of his property and the welfare of hie family. This relieves the situation of its only embarrassment. The Kot?Drn^Kg, which the Union Reform partyiwaa o^an ized to defeat, has doubled the'State debt, bas doubled and trebled State taxation, has sought to array the blacks in armed hostility to the whites,- and has denied justice to the whiles while according license to the blacks. Under the rule of that Ring, the whole State has stood still, and while that Ring controls the administration, South Carolina cannot thrive, nor can her people prosper. Another two years of the rule of the Ring will make the people of this State exiles or paupera Republicans and Democrats will be whelmed in a common ruin. As a matter, then, of self-preservation, and of common-sense busi? ness calculation, all men who expect to live honestly must support any movement whose only object is the overthrow of that Ring of Robbers. The only movement which can overthrow the Ring is the Union Reform party. And that party every honest Re? publican must joiu-or be ruined, iu the event of its failure, by the insupportable taxation, which i3 the natural fruit of reck? less waste in public affairs, and of private and official corruption. The Rascalities of the Land Ring. Many of the rascalities of the Land Ring, of which Governor Scott i3 the public head, have already been brought to light. We have shown that the Land Ring, in open de? fiance of the law, bought land to the amount of $560, OOO, while the amount appropriated by the Legislature for the purpose was only $200, - 000, in bonds of the State. We have shown that the Land Ring bought 2000 acres of land in Oconee County at $6 an acre, which is an extravagant price for four-fifths of ?he land in the county; and we have shown that one tract so bought by the State, at $6 an acre, was Bold a few months backs at $1 an acre. We have shown that, in Lancas? ter County, the Land Ring paid $8032 for a tract of land declared to be utterly worth? less. ' We have shown that the Land Ring made the, State pay $120,000 for a tract of land which cost them $30,000. And now j we show the style in which the Land Ring arrange things in Beaufort, The following letter tells the whole tale: TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. Another piece of rascality by the Land Com? mission Ring. In Beaufort County, the deputy land commissioner, aided and assisted by W. J. Whipper, bought nineteen hundred and odd acres of land from a man at $2 25 per acre, and made him sign titles at $5 per acre, thus clearing the neat sum of five thousand five hundred dollars, to be divided between them, and leaving the score to be paid by this poor old tax-ridden State ! I Is lt any wonder that Whipper is able to buy $0000 farms, to clothe himself in purple and fine linen, to fare sumptuously every day, and lead thc life of a sybarite generally, while his poor deluded followers are fed upon the husks of worn-out and falsified promises of "lorty acres and a mule ?" The facts lu this case are well known, and can be substantiated by most respectable witnesses. BIRDSEYE. This confirms, if any confirmation were necessary, the specific charges of corruption set forth by General Butler, at Picke?s Courthouse. It must prove to the land? owners of the State that, unless they go to work at once, they will be eaten out of house and home by Scott, Parker and their tools. The result of the Reform canr vasa resta w?tn the white people of the State.' If every honest white mau will devote five minutes of each day* to an elucidation of the principles of theUnion Reform party, and to an exposure of the rascalities of the Ring, we shall carry with us, by force of convic? tion, one-half the freedmen in South Caro? lina, and elect Carpenter and Butler by a sweeping majority. But if Hie whites con? tent themselves with reading newspapers, and listening to speeches, the Reform con? test must be close and the result doubtful. The newspapers and the campaign speeches furnish the ammunition for the fight, but every man must make up his own political cartridges and do his own political shoot? ing. IN noticing the fact that the Chesterfield Democrat, hitherto an opponent of theUnion Reform cause, had declared for Carpenter and Butler, we cheerfully comply with the request that we should state that the politi? cal views of General Prince, the late editor of that journal, have undergone no modifica? tion. THE NEWS had previously noticed the change ia the editorial management of the Democrat, by which Mr. V. Little succeeds General Prince. Tire editor of the Lancaster Ledger learn? ed, while at Rock Hill, last week, that seve? ral hundred Winchester rifles and 10,000 rounds of fixed ammunition were in the de? pot at that place, awaiting transportation to Lancaster. These are for the Riog mili? tia. Reformers, white aad colored, take no? tice and act accordingly. THE list of appointments for Carpenter and Butler, the Reform candidates, is well before the public. Will Governor Scott meet on the stump the champions of Reform, or will be bide his chance and make a furtive speech, where oo one eau hear and answer him? WE expect from Governor Scott an ans? wer to this plaia questioo : Do you deoy that, after your eiectioo as Governor of South Carolina, you said that you "wished "the State would go Democratic," and that you were "tired of the negroes," who elected you to office ? WHEN the nominee ol the Robbing Ring for Governor of South Carolina vowed and protested that he "wanted the State to go "Democratic," he was frightened out of his wits, and was seriously thinking of return? ing incontinently to Ohio. GOVERNOR SCOTT has not only disgraced the State, but has made a house of shame of the Executive Mansion; but, as voters, he was tired of the colored people. GOVERNOR SCOTT has become a millionaire, while the people groan under the burden of double and treble taxation. No wonder that he "is tired of the negroes." WILL Governor Scott deny the truth of the charges against his official auf! personal character, printed in these coi'iu.-?. The proofs are on the record. Note? of Reform. -A public meeting was held at Chester? field Courthouse, on Tuesday, to form a club to co-operate with the Union Reform party. Great harmony prevailed. A constitution was adopted, officers elected, and the Exec? utive Committee requested to invite Judge Carpenter and General Butler to address the citizens of Chesterfield, on the 8th of August, or duriDg court week. -Union County is organizing with com? mendable activity. In addition to those al? ready announced, Reform clubs have been formed in Cross Keys Towoship and Go3hen Hill Township. ?Dania.

We beg leave respectfully to call the attention of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. As ten years have now elapsed since we first In? troduced them to the notice of the American pub? lic, we deem lt unnecessary at present to enter Into a lengthy description of their merits, ftc. There ls hardly a elty os town of any note lu the country into which they have not found their way. The reason of this widespread popularity and dally Increasing demand ls owing entirely to their peculiar excellence and Intrinsic worth. Being determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of the day, we have still further improved their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be? lieve that they stand without a rival Our Vanilla Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and. delicacy of flavor, lt is a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla Beans. In short, we think lt the best that ls made, at least, this ls the decision of the nest Judges In the coon try. We don't pretend to compete In price with many of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of the day, which are really but worthless componaos, undeserving of the name. For quality aad style, we defy competition.
