Hampton at Blackvillti 4th July.— If you listen to demagogues, if you listen to men who subordinate every thing to office, to wealth, to place and to power, if you will hearken to ex treme men, who will tell you that the glorious platform of 1876 was very well a s a promise to be kept only to the ear and broktm to the heart; it* you listen to those men, then I say you may at once relinquish the fight, for South Carolina will soon pass again under the rule and to the ruin from which she has emerged and in the great Presidential conUlst of 1880 we shall not only lose our own election but we, the people of South Carolina, will be the cause of breaking down the 1 National Democracy.
