ANOTHER SPEECH BY WADE
HAMPTON.
At Aiken, S. C, oo the 4th inst..
Gen. Wade Hampton addressed a
Democratic gathering thus:
"Ladies and Gentlemen : If any
one thing ran stir my heart more pro
foundly than another, it is the reception
which I hare met with here and over
the whole State When, after the bit.
ter storm through which we hare pass
ed, I come back to my own natire
land, and see again the men who stood
shoulder to shoulder with me in the
fight, and extending to me a welcome
while they tell me .hat they believe
that I have striven to do my duty, I
feel deepiy grateful, as does the tem
pest tossed mariner who, having es
caped shipwreck enters atlatt the ha
ven c-f safety. The endeavour to do
my duty was the motive that carried
me through the years of strife that
have passed. I believed when the
State called her sons to war it was the
duly of every citizen to respond, and I
answered promptly to the call. So
likewise when the Siate gave the order
to sheath the sword, I obeyed the com
mand. I am now fighting for her cause
and her interest in peace, as I fought
for them in war; and, fellow-citizens,
in try opinion, grave as was the strug
gle in which we were then engaged,
and terrific as have been the conse
quence to us in many places, the inter
ests involved in the contest in which we
are now engaged and even more mo
mentous I believe that upon the suc
cess of the cause depends the life or
death of the Constitution, and that if we
are successful we can re-establish the
government of the Constitution and
Union. But if we fail, if the demo
cratic party fails, then in my opinion,
we eh 11 see the great Republic of
Washington go down into the grave
which has closed over so many of its
predecessors. I believe that it is th
duty of every man to strike again for
his alter, fireside, and country.
Mr. Hampton alluded to the part ta
ken by him in the late democratic con
vention, and comments on the platform
as follows
What, gentlemen, is that platform,
and what are these principles? e
declared 'hat the reconstruction acts are
unconstitutional, revolutionary and void
Unconstitutional, because they subver
ted the free government unaer " wntca
we lived, and in this Union, founded
on the consent of the governed, subjec
led ten States to the power of the bay
ont : because they stripped the chief
marristrate of his leeal authority, and
on important quettions had deprived
ibe Supreme Court of all its power.
When that Court had decided that these
acts were unconstitutional. Congress
intprfered. extending its ' hand and
would not allow the decision to be de
dared until after the Presidential elec-
tinn. We of the South bad not done
more than to sav that their acts were
nnrnnaiiiutianal. had asked for a de
cree of the Supreme Court, and were
nrsnsrpd to submit in good faith, had
ihe decision been adverse to our cause
W (ipr-lnred the reconstruction acts
revolutionary, because they revolution
ized the Government of the country.
because they b"d placed ten States
under a military despotism, because
ihpv threatened the subvertioD of the
supreme judicial tribunal of the land,
and becasue the party now in power in
rnerresa intended through them to re
tain by force what they bad acquired
ritr fraude."
The General concluded with the an
nexed appeal to the colored people

Radicals have made tbem many pro
mises, but when they had got what
they wanted they allowed the colored
people to whistle down the wind and
shift for themselves. I tell you that
if you are so unfortunate as to draw
the line between the white people of
the South and yourselves you will soon
find that vou have no friends at all.
The white men will bring other white
men into the country who will work

nwnn of the land, and gradually but
peacefully and surely, they will spread
over the country, and the colored man
will be driven out and will disappear as
the Indian has disappeared before the
inward march of the white moo. It is
the law of God, and it will be so as
sure as there is a God in Heaven. I
believe that the colored man can do
great good in this country. We know
him and he knows us. We recognize
bis freedom fully. It i to our interest
that be should make good crops and
receive good wages. .ven iiwe were
not actually actuated by old acquain
tance and friendship our interests
would compel us to look after bis wel
fare. And for their welfare we ad
vise them to help us to drive away the
radicals and scalawags who are in our
midst. My colored friends, do as was
done in Mississippi. There the color
ed majority was greater in proportion
than it is here, but the colored men
came lo the surport of their only
friensd swept over the State and voted
down the Reconstruction Constitution
by a majority of 10.000. "
. The Greenback. Theorv
The Argus undertakes to defend the
financial policy of its party payment
of the public debt in currency by the
argument that the creditors of the
Government bought its bonds with
greenbacks, and that a payment in the
same medium of exchange can not,
therefore, be repudiation.
This is not true as to all the holders
of bonds. For instance, we know of a
case in vt hich a man of moderate means
held a mortgage of five thour-and dol-
ars upon a valuable piece of property.
Desirous of aiding the Government,
when the first lean was proposed, he
sold the mortgage, received the pay
ment for it in gold, end immediately
invested this gold in bonds. Had be
retained the coin in bank a year longer
he would have procured currency for
it at the rate of 1 15. The Jirgus and
its partisans now propose to give him
in exchange for his specie investment,
greenbacks which by their policy can
not fail to be depreciated at least forty
per cent.
. A w w v a .
But asside from tnis: ivnentne
bonds were sold, it was wiih the un
derstanding that they: were to be paid
in com. So the agents of the Uovern-
ment advertised.
So the Secretary of
ihe Treasury permitted it to be under-
steod. Such was the general and no
where contradicted idea. The result
was.
that these securities became a
favorite plan of investment, and were
disposed 01 at a rate unpeicedented in
the history of any similar commercial
transaction. It is a fact that no gov
ernment in the world ever obtained a
ereat lone at terms a, favorable as
those upon which the Federal bonds
were disposed of; and that at a time
when the money markets of the- world
were all affected by panic,
The question is, weather a nation is
bound by contract as an individual
would be. When we were in the
strait and needed money, we promts
ed those who would lend it a certain
repayment. Now, when the occasion
of our difficulty has passed, and the
time of redemption approaches, the
Democrats propose to change the terms
of the bargain, so as to make them
less favorable for the creditor. Is not
this repudiation? It may be argued
that by nayncr m gold, we create
privileged class of securities, and accord
to their noiders terms wnicn are op
nresMve to the peop'e. The answer
it, that these terms were tne oniy ones
. . ..-.
upon which we could obtain money
sufficient to carry on the war, and that
v were nuite ready to eive them at
the time the debt was incurred. The
farmer who invested in a bond the' pro
due of his fields for a season; the
mechanic who thus disposed of big lit

A STIllKIIf 1 PARALLEL
The striking parallel between the
position occupied between the traitors
of the Revolution aad the Copperheads
of to-day is vividly illustrated in the
close resemblance of the appeal of Ben
edict Arnold to the disaffected of his
time and the Milwaukee rpeech of
Horatio Seymour made In 1864. After
Arnold's treason became known, and
he bad fully gone over to the British,
he issued a proclamation to the citizens
and soHiers of the United States," in
which he thus attacked the action of
our Government :
"You are promised liberty by the
leaders of you affairs, but is there an
injoyment of it, saving your oppressors?
Who among you dare to speak or write
what be thinks against the tytanny
which has robbed you of your property.
imprisoned you sons, draged to the field
of buttle, and is daily deluging your
country with blood ?
"Your country once was happy, and
bad the proffered peace been embraced
the last two years of misery bad been
spent in peace and plenty, and repair
iug the desolution of the quarrel that
would have set the interests of Great
Britain and America in a true light.
and cemented their friendship,
'I wish-to lead a chosen band of
Americans in the attainment of peace.

taking the held.
What is America but a land of wid
ows, orphants, and beggars? But what
need of argument to such as feel infi
nitely more misery than tongue can ex
press ? I give my promise or most af-
fectioate welcome to all who are dispos
ed to join me in measures necessary to
close the scene of our afflictions, which
must increase until we are satisfied
with the mothery country, which still
offer us protection and exemption from
all taxes but such as we think hi to im
pose upon ourselves.
. ...
Benedict Arnold.
October, 20. 1780.
This letter might stand very well as
-w-k . t e tf
a modern uemocrauc pinuorm. now
losely it corresponds with Horatio
Seymour's views may be seen by com
paring the following extract;, the first
from Arnold's letter, second from Ho
ratio Seymour's Milwaukee speech :
Benedick Arnold here makes eignt
Doint against the Continental Congress,
and Washington, the CouimaDder in-
Chief.
Ftrsf. That freedoom of speech
and of the press has been taken away :
Second. That property has been
appropriated.
Third. That illegal imprisonments
have been made.
Fourth. That odious conscriptions
have been imposed.
Fifth. That peace, which might of
teen had was refused.
Sixth. The first objects in taking
the field have been abandoned.
Seventh. That ihe country has been
deluged with blood, and made a land
of widows and orphans.
Eisht. That it is necessary to join
him in order to close these afflictions
and return to prosperity.
Horatio Seymour, in Milwaukee.like
wise (using bis own words) makes the
following noints :
First. "The freedom of speech and
of the press has been denied us r
Second. "It is your property, the
nronerty of Northen tax payers, which
is confiscated.'
Third. "Men have been torn from
families, and locked ud in prison, and
women also.
Fourth "Men are told that they
must leave their homes ana uevoie

themselves to war.
Fifth. "The policy of aJministra

Seventh: "In God's name are there

Eieht. "We nominated McClellan,

THE WAR DEMOCRATS.
We understand that a number of
prominent War Democrats in this State
are arranging for a thorough organiz
ed movement among themselves to su
taiu Gen. Grant ami J. A. Grisworld.
The key notes of Rebellion sounded by
Wade Hampton. Howel Cobb.Toomba.
Vance, and all the leaders of the South,
have fillod them with well-founded
fears of another civil war if Seymour
and Blair come into power. There
are tens of thousands of War Demo
crats who would bare voted for a con
servative nominee of the Democratic
Convention, who now stand aghast
before Seymour and his plat
frm, backed by the fire-eating Rebels
of the South. They consider that their
capital, their business, and all that they
value most are in iminent danger if
such men are to come into power, and
such doctrines as are announced in the
Democratic platform are to prevail.
Thousands and tens of thousands of
loyal Democrats went nobly foward ta
sustain the war with their lives and
money, and they now say that tbey will
not go back upon their record and stul
tify themselves by supporting Seymour,
with the prospect of having his friend,
Wade Hampton, for Secretary of War.
War Democrats.yoo are right ! Orga
nize for your country, f jr it is in dan
ger. The great crisis of '61 which
called you out and made you forget old
party ties, again summons you to go
forward and organize. Let the work
be done thoroughly. Tribune.
Atrocious LaHstiflgi' of a South
ern Leader.
The Memphis correspondent of the
New York Times entirely reliable
authority writes:
'A few days since. Gen. Pike, the
editor of the Appeal, and one of the
most influential men in the South, de
livered an address to a very large
meeting at Center Hill. Miss., and af
ter speaking bitterly against the Feder
al Government, this hoary old tiaitor
urged the young men to imperil their
lives to bring back the golden days ot
slavery, and he said: 'Young men, it
is for you ta bring back to the country
its golden fjays. The south is our land.
(The old humbug was born in Ver
mont.) The North ie a foreign and
hostile realm. Stand et the alters of
your country. Swear eternal hatred
to its oppressors. (He means the
Federal Government, the boys in blue
and all Northern born Republicans )
Swenr that the day shall come when
the SutnuehanDa and Ohio shall be
like rivers of fire, as they are now or
blood, between your native land and
that of the Northern Huns, which no
man shall attempt to cros and live.'
How do Northern Democrats like this
declaration of purpose? Tim North
ern man who crosses the Ohio river or
the Susquehanna shall be murdered
he shall not be allowed to live. I his
threat is but straw showing the direc
tion of the current.

Blair, and comes out for Grant and
rvilfar. From its announcement of
reasons for this course, we extract the
following:
We believe it requires no bribery
. . .
for a War Democrat, as we always
considered ourselves, to repudiate that
Convention. Was Gen. Sherman sud
denly bribed because he a Democrat,
declared for Urant against tne new

Nashville. Tenn.. August. 16.
Last night about 12 o'clock a party
of masked horsemen, some fifteen in
number, rode in Fianklin, Williamson
county, and broke open the door af a
store belonging to a Prussian Jew
named Bierfield, a Radical. Bierfield,
as soon as he sanr the masks,
attempted lo escape by flight. He was
fired upon and fell dead, pierced by
five bullets. Lawrane Bowman.

hot. He ran off, but was found during
the night in a lot where he had taken
refuge, mortally wounded, He died
this morniDg.
Bierneld a body has been brought
here for burial. Who the maskeia
were, or whether they were supported
by others, is not known. The affair
occured just after the close of a circus
xnibitioo,and manypeolpe were in the
ttreet. some of whom interfered, but
could not prevent the assassination. It
has created an intense felling in Frak-
in, and is denounced by all.
The conduct of Gov. Seymour at the)
great draft not in New York reminds
one of similar experience of the great
Mr. Pickwick at the contest between the
bluffs and the blues; in which Hon
Samuel Slumkey was the candidate of
the blue, and the Horatio Fizkin of
the bluffs.

Pickwick taking off his hat.

Says the Montgomery (Ala.)JreT-

the democracy of the North, should
realize the truth as to the Southern
Presidential vote, in order that they
proceed at once to reflect upon the

They evidently need a little civility to
