General Kennedy Delivers an Address on the Duties of the flour--A Speech from Captain Gaulard. Some weeks ago a resolution was adopted by the Ridgeway Demon cratic Club, requesting Gen. J. D. Kennedy, the Chairman of the State Executive Committee, to in struct them on the duties of the hour. General Kennedy accepted the invitation, and the time was fixed for the 20th instant. Invita tions had been extended to other clubs, but on Friday evening copious rains fell, and many farmers were kept at home in order to take ad vantage of the season offered them. Still, a fair crowd assembled, and the club proceeded to the stand by the old school-house spring, the place where politioal gatherings are always held. There was a small sprinkling of ladies on the grounJ. The audience hiving assembled, Presidant Charles E. Thom is rose, and in a few graceful remarks intro duced General Kennedy. General Kennedy's Address. General Kennedy, on rising, was greeted with applause. He thanked the club for the invitation, and remarked that the meeting remind ed him of what Mrs. Partington said of the funeral of Abel. It was small, but eininently respe-. He then entered into the subject of his address and spoke for fifty minutes. The following is an im perfect synopsis of his eloquent remarks. He said : I am heartily rejoiced at the in terest you have r.vinced in politics thus ecrly in the campaign. Upon the elections this fall depend mat ters of vital importanco to the peo ple. The orator, Burke, has said that the heart of the citizen is a perennial spring of energy to the State, and it is well that every citizen, laying aside for the moment his other duties, should attend pubi lie meetings, and keep himself abreast with the politics of the hour. More especially is it important at this hour, for the State is not yet safe. Those who are inclinel to rest supinely on their paist achieve muents, and to lull themselves into socurity, are pursuing a course fraught with danger, anid he who, stands back while she calls, is stab bing his mother in the vitals. Let us take a retrospective glance at the history of South Caaolina after reconstruction. In 1870, the people of the State, in opposition to their feelings, entered into the guberna torial race with a Republican at the head of the ticket. Again, in 1872. they pursued a similar course, and supported Reuben TL'ml in son for that high position. In 18741 the good people of the State again rallied to the support of Judge Greene, and again they failed to ac complish the result for wvhich they had labored. After these repeated concessions and repeated failures, the people determined never again to coquette with the Radical jade, but with a firm belief in the right, TNET aAISED TnEIR OWN BANNERls aloft, and under their own lea:lers went forth to victory. We rememsi ber the events of that campaign, how the people suffered every spe cies of outrage without resistance, and how their self composure gained for them the plaudits of the world. Then, in the trying times succeed ing the seventh of November, their continued forbearance, their self control, their obedience to the law, won for them still greater -renowvn, and for their leader, Hampton, lasting glory, Let us review the blessings that have resulted fronm this change of government. 'Tho public debt has been honorably ad. 3usted. The schools are prospering under enlightened and honest offi eials, and with a proper distribution of the funds. Justi'ce is rendered every where and to every class of people. The Stata t:ixes ha-'e been reduced one half. Thre State offices are filled by men of integrity and responsiblity. The cortrup)tion and alt whchmade South Carolina the synornym of evil throughout the world, lpve boon all removedi, and Soiuth Carolina has again taken bor place pfire and . unsullied in the honoraIje sisterhood of States.

The platform contained a few broad principles. We asked to stand on a common platform with us, all the bonest citizens of South Carolina. We pledged ourselves to lniesty anl economy in the administration of the State government. Ttis plat form w s catholic in spirit and broad in princip:e, so broad and so deep that thousan]s who had not before called themselves Democrats raliie I to our assistance, and by their aid we edeuleel the Stute. It place l us in full accord with the greit Na tional Denocrac v ; while in accepting as fin dities the issues of the war, it ti n"-,d its back on the past and directed us to the fitu e.
