Colonel Mullins, of Marion, called for the rending of the third resolution, and i-ni^ that the latter pert bt that resolution era* calculated to streugthen the handa of the DAnocracy of the North*. The great staple of argument tiiere, the point against %|iich life whole artillery of the Republioan par ly was being directed, was that the Democratic platform and the declare tions of General Blair were really evidences of intention to appeal to force. More than that, when the speeches of bis friend. General Hampton, appeared in the New York Herald, that mernla cious sheet charged that the illustrious gentleman was endeavoring to tire the Southern heart. We know it was false, hence it was eminently proper that a declaration of the kind contained in the resolution should Ire made. If asked once, he bad been asked one hundred times duting. his Northern trip, to tell his people to use no language that Could possibly be distorted bv those who have no regard for ?4rulli. The only hope of success of the Republican party was in keeping alive the bitterness of war by denunciation, falsehood and appeals to slumbvring prejudices. The great battle of November was to be fought on the line reaching from New Yofk to the West. If the electoral vote of the Northern States should he cast for Seymour and Blair, he felt satisfied that the freemen of the North meant to inaugurate their r*n<li.latA? Tl.;? .to termination was expressed by c?en the calmest Northern men?by men who, while voting with the Republican party, heretofore, did not recognize, in the extension of the doctrioe of universal suffrage, the right of the negro (0 rtlle these States. They were not prepared to viriidate the action of the African in the South, or to recognize the idea that the white man of the North shall be set aside bv the large negro majorities of the South, upheld and maintained by the bayonet. The influence of the<e negro governments upon the finances of the country, upon its prosperity and future career, were beginning to operate upon the minds of the most distiogui-hed mfcn. who realized in the success of Radical measures, the de structivea at the North, by combining with the nsgroes of the South% will have U in their power to rule or ruin the best interests of ;hit section. In thw view he thought it advisable to adopt a resolution which would strength en the Northern feeling, and hence hoped that the Convention "would not strike out the resolutions in question. REMARKS OP OKKKRAI. WADE HAMPTON. I concur in very much that my friend from Marion has said, and there are portions of that resolution which it Is very important that this Convention I..II. i. ?? 1- > - csvsv/j?v. aw lliny uiuponv Ufl amended or qualified. and I shall move, befvire taking toy seat, (bat il be recommitted fur l lie purpose. I am glad that the reference made by the gentleman from Marion affords me an opportunity to nay a few words con cerning myself. If these misrepresents lions of language which I have uttered, if the perversions of facts which I have stated redacted only upon me, I >ho-.ild not only bear the infliction with patience, but treat il with the contempt it de-eives. When, however, 1 am told that these falsehoods are a source of injury to our Cause, and (hat they weaken the Democratic party?that party upon which our life and salvation depend*?I am glad to have an opportunity to deooonce them and their authors. I have said more to the people of New York than to any Southern audience. I told them that we believed wo were right, but that^we were willing to accord (o otbera what we claimed for ourselves, via: perfect sincerity in our convictions and unquestioned devotion to principle. I told the Northern peo pi. that we spoke with no double tongue, that we were earnest and truthful in our desire to sup|>or'. the Union And (he constitution, and in that spirit we ac Cepted the hand an fieely extended to us by the great Democracy of the North. .1 told them we wanted the constitution restored: th*l we looked f.?r na remedies in our platform } that we did not propose to incorporate into that in slrument anything in the shape of a remedy, and we simply a?ked that (hie platform should declare these Iteccn atrucimn acts to be unconstitutional? Indeed, I bad the honor to offer in that body a resolution providing for the ar bitramenl of ihi* question by tha Supreme Court, and bad such a decision been rendered, there in not a man in the South who would not have cheer fully obeyed the law. We were all pre pared to abide by it. Does this look like revolution f I declared that we wanted peace, but instead of receiving peace, we have not only been charged with being rev oiulionary, but there seems to have been a persistent effort to drag us into some outrage or outbreak which would afford them political capital at our ex w Hi ' H CAROLINA. AUGUST S 1 have recently seen what purports to be a quotation from a speech mnde. in Charleston, not to an ordinary meeting, but in acknowledgment of a compliment?a serenade given to me by inv old soldiers. I am told tb?\l in the New Tork flerald H is published luat I said rt the flag had been preserved, and should one day unfold it and call around me the men who used to follow that banner on tbe field." I lifted not tell you that this statement is in every respect false. On the^ontrary, when 1 spoke of the flag of tbe Confederacy, I remarked th/tt II now was furled forever (o bo buried in the grave of our lost CaUse. I did make an allusion to another flag, which had been followed by uiany of the men standing around me. It was a flag that had been worked by the descendants of Revolutionary pa tiiots, and prei-ented to us by (he hrrblo women of South Carolina, through the hands of our then chief magistrate, a flag which had floated amid the smoke of many a desperate battle field; which had been boih# bt tfiy own hero son, and which enshrouded bint when he was carried to the toiub. I told them that flag was resting with me; for I knew that they would bo glad to hear tidings of a banner that had long been familiar to their eye*, and who3e ample folds did not contain space enough on which to write the namea of all the engagements in which it had floated in the front nf li.iiln I ? ? ' } old comrades (hat that flag of a single regiment liad not been buiied in the wreck ot Columbia, (h?e ftadicals of the North basely perverted both Ian* guage and sense for the purpose of pro (lucing political effect. Ilart thev taken the paina to do so, they would have seen that I said that evert that flag was furled forever, (o be buried fa the grave of our lost cause. j I should not haVe rtoticed these gfosa misrepresentations, had they not been I brought to my notice in a direct mantier hy ftiy friend from Marion; but since he has afforded the an opportunity of doing so, I use it not only to denounce these statements as false, but to reiterate here as I do in every place, that I am fighting as earnestly in the interest of peace as I did in war< In saying this, I recognize all of the Issues frtvolted irt this contest, and also recog nize, to the fullest extent, the kindness extended to us at the North by those who had met us on a hundred battle* fields, and who, standing around a com' inQn altar which they wished or.Ce more to raise, extended in faith and kindness the tight hand of fiiendship. I ask I you what more can I do? Everywhere | I hare urged our people to come forwaid in this contest, ahd he as hue sol*- | diers in the cause of peace as they were in the cause of war. This is all J have done, and it is what I shall continue to do, notwithstanding the misrepresentations that may be given to the world. Whatever may be the character of the falsehoods circulated,B1 intend to.pursue an even course, and will not be provoked to say one word that is acrimonious or offensive. I know what the Radicals have in view unrl I ur?? ilio ... - -'ft" ?,,v people not to give wnyo prejudice or passion. Let them in patience endure the misfortunes they cannot control, avoid ail conflict with the negioes, give no political capital to our enemies, trust to the Democratic party, fight this great struggle with peaceful agencies alone, and there is every reason to believe that we shall witness the restoration of the government, and the supremacy of the | Constitution of ibt United Stales. -The Homestead Bill.
