itfHUi Itrio*??ubaide. Tho ?taveat mi? f or tuno which I npprohond from delay. ariBoa from ! tho tendenoy of % in^go'verfimo?t t? barden discontent into disaffection, and exasperate the sense of injury into a nontinient of settled resentment,. This deplorable result is likely to happen, nay, it in almost sure to follow, if you do not .amnion your utmost patienco and fbjrtitudo. I pray you, my friends, tp. struggle with all your niigbt against the inroads of discouragement and the temptations of despair. If you oan muster tho endurance to wait calmly., and labor honestly and heartily for your redemption, yonr reward, if late, will be rioh and abundant. I cannot believe that a people whioh has shown such power of intense and prolonged exertion as ?roars did, in the war, will prove aching in tho higher quality of patient self-command, especially when your whole future depends apon it. What else can you do? The idea of a second appeal to arms is madness. It is the dream of the suicide, whioh could, alone, induce yon to take arms against a sea of troubles, and, by opposing, end them. It any of you, in the iumost recesses of his heart, has ever har? bored such a thought, banish it, at once and forever. Better, ten thou? sand times better, for yourselves, your wives, your daughters, and foi your country, to bear the ills yoi have, 1 tlian fly to others that yon know ; riot of. As y??r committee truly and wisely say, in their lettei ci^nvitotion to me: "The polio j o: the'''South is peace-it is her onlj hope^you ' will seo this with youi eyes and hoar i?l "with1 your ears.' And' they aro right; and I have seer with .eyes, and heard with my ears and I nm persuaded that all thii people know that they are right, am feel as they do upon this poiut. I fear,' also, that the admission o all the negroes in these State's to sui frage, and the exclusion of substan tinily all of the leading men of tb? South from a share in shaping you Constitutions and laws, coming, when it did, and as it did, will seri ously aggravate the difficulties whicl beast your way baok to a cheerfi and peaceful 1 re-establishment c mutually Satisfactory relation! Taken by itself, I think you migl render it tolerable. With univers) amnesty, I imagine that many of il more alarming"features would disaj pear or bo very much ameliorate The tendency of this portion of tl reconstruction policy to encourug a class of political demagogues 1 stir np strife and ill-feeling bctwee whites and black's, here, upon whic to found their own political fortum is, undoubtedly, ono of the greate defects of the systom, in its practic working. It embitters relatioi whioh might be cordial, and must 1 friendly, if you aro to dwell togeth in peace and prosperity. And her again, I must urge you to be patien and, difficult though it be, to call little philosophy to your aid. Stu a convulsion as you have experienci must needs leave a multitude of less ruptures in its train which requi time, more than anything else, re-adjust. With a return to constit tiona! government, I think that evi universal suffrage, (supposing it w fonpd necessary to let it stand as is, os a choice of evils-for Icertair regard it ns au evil, nt this time ai place,) might be made compatil with'good order, good governmei A and good feeling. Considering t ^ relations which formerly existed I tw?en the two races, and the gr< advantage whioh the wealthy, ed catod and intelligent laud-owner always-found to possess in agrieuli ral 'communities, I think you c hardly deprecate or. dread com pe tipn with adventurous strangers up a fair field of rivalry. Your legi mato : and proper influence, fai: exerted, mu&t prove, in tho long n more persuasive than that of strangi or others', who are lacking in th? advantages. ? At least, this has be the'general experience in other cot tri?s. But, in order to secure a f opportunity, even, to try the exp? mont, it is essential that tho dang ons ?l?ment of hostility of race shot be kept out of the calculation, that poison once fastens firmly np your vitals, your political future desperate, or oarable only by an ai doto whioh I cannot contempl wtth Calmness. Next, then, to pea I think you ore bound to oultiv friendly relations with the negr among you. Your true interests identical, and their identity must, time, become as apparent as it demonstrable. You Bhould spare efforts, and no practical measures your power, to show this clea: both by word and deed, to the frc men. You have no right to for this exertion. An honest and mai attempt, how, may save you i nea lable mischief, by-and-by. I do not see, nor have I boen i to discover, during my stay am you, that you do as yet cherish ill-will-tb the negro. I have f o but ono sentiment of kindness prcised towards him, and why sh? it be otherwise? He was faithfu you in yonr years of struggle never, when ho might, rose u your defenceless homes, whon wero at the front; he did not himself. If he is ignorant, it i no fault of his, aud it should bo ; care| aa it certainly is your inte t<> instruct him. If from ignor ii. rt.a i . .. . .. .'. v . ? aud inexperi onoe, be is liable to bo abased and misled, it ia your placo to protect and direct bim. If be ie poor and distressed, it is your duty to help him, if you are able. And all this you know and feel as well as I do. And on the other hand, I would say to tue colored men hove at tho {South, that I entertain the kindest feelings to them? and feel a very deep solici? tude for their permanent welfare and happiness. In all sincerity, I would tell thom that I fear that their present imp?rtanos, in politics is likely to.be used for purposes which are danger? ous to their ultimate well-being. As they ore situated, a condition of permanent alienation and hostility between them and the whites can only issue in disastrous results to their eventnal prosperity and pro? gress. To both whites and blacks, I would counsel the most forbearing and patient consideration for each other. Your cases are difficult enough, al best-for God's sake do not mak( them hopeless, by needless misundor standing, or auger, or ill-blood. ] think that even if you were free to di as you liked, that a wise policy woalc dictate tho education and gradua enfranchisement of the negroes, a fast as they were fit for it. No frei people can afford to perpetuate ignor ance among its people, for ignoranc is its internecine enemy. Nor do think that any statesmanlike polio in a republic, can suffer any perron neut exclusion cf auy class of it citizens from a share in the goveru ment of the commonwealth. I kno< we have had movements at tho Nort looking to some such, in regard t foreigner policy, as many sincere me now are urging upon you in referenc to the colored people. The cry c "America for Americans," has bee as loud and more popular than th shout that "This is a white man Government." lean adopt neithe and I beg you not to be tempted h your present evils to make the lath your political shibboleth. Be fa seeing and generous enough to tal a loftier stand, and see this bros land to bo the refuge of the oppresse of all nations, and of all races ar colors, where civil rights aro respec ed, and an interest in tho comme Government is conceded as soon as duo regard to the safety and got order of all will permit. Nothing ci be a more fruitful source of disco tent and disturbance, than the exh enco among you of a caste hopeless excluded from political privileges. My friends, I am trespassing Upi your kindness, but upon a subject broad as the ono wo are considerii to-day, it is impossible to be concis Your relotious to the political pi ties of the North have a very impo ant bearing upon your fute, at events, just now, nud demand cai ful meditation. Most of you, doul less, regard the success of the Den eratic party as essential to ye release from your present situutit but it is my duty to remind yon tl men in your position have no ri{ to bo bigoted partizans. You mn of course, feel a deep interest in t success of those who espouse y< cause, and you may properly es all legitimate influence to prom their success; but you ought not shut tho door to aid from any som I hyve already deprecated unreas able and undistinguishing hostil to the Republican party. I wo now warn you against an absol and exclusive devotion to any pat If the Democracy succeed in eli ing their candidates, you will be s jeoted to temptations as trying as demand upon your sufferance i prove, in case Gen. Grant is ohos Hasty, ill-considered, passionate, violent action, in the event of Do: eratic success, would be almost si in the end, to turn to your discoi ture and render your last estate w< than the first; and yet it will req a good deal of self-command to < trol the reaction from this dep cion. But the country, even in I event, will be so evenly divided so greatly excited, that a small tl may induce a terrible catastro] On the other hand, in case of ( Grant's election, you will be cn on to exorcise, a while longer, i patience and forbearance. I am' it will be rewarded in the end. not believe that Gen. Grant is j euemy. I feel sure ho means ki: to you and will try to do justice show meroy in his coarse to you largo mass of Republicans will you, if you will do your best to yourselves. A great majority o tho North only wait to be euro safe to take you cordially by tho 1 once more. Bide, then, yonr41 in either event, possess your sou patience, call to your aid that gr est of human qualities, self-oon and all will yet be well. This ni has had too much of violence headlong haste. You, in partie have had a terrible warning ag heat and passion. Keep cool watch your chance, como when will. Above all things, do not to render it more difficult tin now is for either party to roture constitutional system. If you haste'and passion in the Domoi party, or by impatience, streu; tho hands of the extreme men i Republican party, you equally I the coming pf your pnly sure i tion, a ro-ostablishment upon and lusting foundations of the pie of constitution ul Hhe?ty \ our fathers reared. Keep you; fixed, steadily ?poa this, aa a pole star to steer your politic?l course by; stop ?our oars to tho blandishment*, of bis temptation of immediate relief on the one hand, or that seduction of gratified passion on the other; sum? mon all your self-restraining man? hood, and you shall sail safe between tho Scylla and Charybdis, which per* plex your way. My friends, I have almost done, and I will dot?in you but a moment longer, to suggest some thoughts whioh, as a citizen of Massachusetts, and a native of New England, have long ocoupied my mind, and seem to me appropriate to this meeting on the soil of South Carolina. Separated as our States have been, for many yeais, in sentiment, their substantial interests are very similar. Their material wants and products are correlative, their political inter? ests are likely to be identical, and their popular characteristics aro counterparts. I do not mean by counterpart that they aro alike, but that one is tho supplement of the other. The ono cold, cautious and thoughtful; tho other warm, impul? sivo and impressionable. Combino these qualities and you double their power, by regulating and economis? ing their force. Nor need wo look far to foresee their political affiliation in tho future, if all goes well. Tho policy of tho seaboard States, in re? ference to tho great questions of financial, industrial and commercial interests, which must inevitably re? place the iucidents left by the war, as soon as they are disposed of, can hardly fail to be nearly related. Tho next great political division promises to be one of water sheds rather than of sections. Tho great interior !>;ein can and will, if she likes, dic? tate to the outer slopes of the moun? tains, and they will need a good un? derstanding among themselves and a pretty cordial co-operation of mea? sures, and a good strong constitution, too, to retaiu and uphold their pre? sent place in tho general policy. Look, too, for a moment at their industry and products. We, of Now England, are naturally, and I hopo we shall always be, a ship-building, sea-going, commercial people, carry? ing, and fishing, and toiling every? where upon tho face of the waters. You produce tho cotton, and rice, and timber, and turpentine, which we carry and consume. Wo are deeply interested in manufactures which you desire-while wo work up your raw materials with our busy spiudles. I cannot dwell upon de? tails, but if I am at all right in my ideas, wo can bo mutually useful to ouch other. But whether this bp so or not, there has long been enmity between ns. Let il bo so no longer. We have cherished our dislike, mag? nified our causes of complaint, and brooded over our wrongs. Let us forgive and forget. With slavery, its cause, let all ill feeling cease. Let us be friends aud brothers once more, ns our fore? fathers in the grand old days of the Revolution, were before us. In the name of that common heroic ances? try, by the memories of overy battle? field of thc war of independence, let our dissensions coaso, let good-will and brotherly lovo cast out old bit? terness, and let us all hasten the day when Massachusetts and South Caro? lina may stand, once more, hand warmly grasped in hand, under the old ancestral roof-tree and beneath the old flag. My fellow-citizens of South Caroli? na, I thank you for attentive audi? ence you have given to me, although I fear I have been tedious, and, per? haps, some of my views are distaste? ful to you. I have carefully avoided any attempt to stir your feelings, or amuse your minds. It did not seem to me an occasion for eloquence, if I had it, or humor, if I felt it. I am deeply and seriously impressed with j the difficulties auder whioh you labor and the dangers which threaten our Bystem of government, and I have spoken seriously, because I felt seri? ously. Whatever shall eome of it, I shall feel amply rewarded, if, by any chance, I may have turned one heart to a calm, patient, earnest, honest effort to forward, so far as in it lies, the restoration of the Constitution and tho Union. All tho arithmeticians at Washing? ton have been set to work in the United States Treasury Department in order to cypher away the defi? ciency of 8150,000,000, recently ex? posed by Delmar. Up to the preaent time, they have discovered, according to radical authority, $105,000,000, an omitted cash balance; but David A. Wells, at his romantic home in Connecticut, finds not the slightest difficulty in proving Mr. Delmar en entirely and maliciously wrong. They are evidently writhing under the lash, and- we fear, judging by Mr. Delmar's reputation for ac? curacy, they will never succeed in escaping. The Paris Illustration, in giving portraits and sketches of the Siamese twins, tells a story about them Which we have not heretofore heard. It is to the effect that they lived together in great happiness until the waf broke out, when Chang declared himself a Unionist, Eng a secession? ist, and the quarrels between them bedame so violent, that thc twins w?re afc one time on the polrffj bf fighting a duel.

PnECiADELPHiA, October 13.-Con? siderable fighting in tho suburbs. In the sixteenth ward, a boy of six? teen was fatally shot by a deputy she? riff.

There is every indication of a heavjT vote. Both parties claim the State with tho chances favoring the Demo? crats. Tho Evening Express gives vaguo particulars of a plot to murder Mr. Johnson, and promises explicit do tails to-morrow. The Democrats claim the city by 0,000; the Republicans claim it by 2,000.
