RKMAUHS Of dOL. MULLIN8, OF MARIO* .
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

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

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.
