I desire tïose men immediately infront.of me to understand that theymust either keep order or be pat outof this meeting.. I am not here to bebo, I lied, and whatever thc results maybe, I intend to speak aod be heard..[Great applause and eries of "That's

"

as ever bore arms. For three years ormore t!iey struggled bardólo obtainbread, with scarcely the mease to gath»er-their crops, aud fatality attending

. all of their exertions. Misfortuno cov¬ered the impoverished State like a pall.Under theso oiroutustnuses what didGovernor Scott do ? Instead of econo¬

mizing the resources of the State sothat its burdens should rest but lightlyupon tho people, you will tiud, by thereport of bis own comptroller-general,that, without any good reason whateverho added to the then existing publicdebt ot tho Stuto the enormous sum ofeight million dollaT. Where, fellow,citizens, did this money come from 1*lt came from tho luboring classes. Itcame from you, every hour of whoselabor is divided between the supportyou owe your families and the workyou unconsciously perform for the pub¬lic. Every ship that sails upon thoocean ; every rail road in the country ;every edifico that rears its head iu townor city; the property on whioh thewealth of a community is embraced, is,more or less, the product of human la¬bor. And yet, these men who pretendto love the colored man, to be the es-

Jieoiul friend of the white working mao,oad the results of his industry with adebt of $8,000,000, and ask them tosustain an administration that is writtenall over with inconsistency and extrava¬gance.

I honor the poor luboring man whoworks day by day, iu a hard strugglewith fate, to supply the wants of hisfamily, and I tell you, my countrymen,that if Christianity is not a fable, theangels of God look down with a smileupon him who dedicates his services toIns wifo, who is queen, and to his chil¬dren, who are his subjects. But I de¬sire to see that pour mun protected andwhen a body of rapacious officials use

the power which citcumstunces haveput in their bauds to benefit themselvesat his cost, I, for oue, feel like steppingto the frout aud using whatever poorability I may possess, to thc end theirwrongs may be righted. Aud thoy mayfeel they have at least one championwho dares speak the truth. [Applause.]

(Cheers.)Two parties can play at that game.(Renewed cheering.) Nor shall theywio tho election by stuffing the ballotboxes wheo the voting is done. (Tre¬mendous applause.)

Governor Scott, too, has done hisbest, to aotagouize tho two races anddisturb that harmony io whioh the peo¬ple hud lived.

between the Union Reform party andthe old Democratic party of South Carolina?

(At this juncture thore was anotherattempt at interruption, whereupon thisobuirman, Mr. U'Conuor, said : "L askmy friends, io justice to themselves andto the oity io which they live, to uiain-laiu order.

(Longapplause.)Judge Carpenter. The Democratic

party io the past bad UH own principies.Whatever they were, they join hands to¬

day with all honest Republicans ; notupou a political issue, but for the pur¬pose of effecting a reform io the Govern¬ment of thc State. Neman becomes a

Republican by voting for me, althoughI am a Republican ; aud no mao becomesa Democrat becuuse he votes for mygallant and noble colleague, GeneralButler. This is my answer to the ques¬tion. (Applause.)

lu conclusion, allow me to say, briefly,that I ioteud to carry this campaign to

¿ho bitter end. I war with dishonesty,treachery, corruption and falsehood, iobehalf of integrity, honesty, patriotismand virtue. I shall not ba moved bypersonal a6sults, nor by the threats otassassination that have bees made, if Ido oot stop deoouncing this corruptRing. If Heaven will let them, theymuy assassinate, but I shall oot, untiltheo, oease the work upoo whioh I haveentered in behalf of the people. [Loudoheers.] Wo have just passed through a

NECESSITY FOR KKFOK.H.

Tho speeoh of Judge CARPENTERbefore the Charleston Maas Meeting, on

the 20th met., and contained in oui

present issue, wilt exhibit to our readerssomething of the necessity for reformwhich exists io our State Government-something of the motive power of th«.Reform movement.Judge CARPENTER dearly puts forth

the faot, as has frequently been declaredthat the movement is not political, bulhas been inaugurated for the pur¬pose of reforming the shocking corrup¬tions of the State Government-a move

ment in which every honest. man majengage, without saorifioe of principlefor the improvement of the condition olhis unfortunate oountry. This beingthe purpose, he oorreotly says that votingfor him makes no man a Republicanwhilst voting for Gem. BUTLER makes n<man a Demoorat. And to stiokle merelyfor names, in an issue like this-whetthe very vitals of tho State are beingtorn out-is trifling with the great du¬ties and responsibilities of citizenshipAnd more than this: to oppose thcmovement, now that it has been iuaugurated, is to give aid and oomfortdirect, to tho corrupt men who are

plundering the people. As muoh a;

those engaged in the suicidal work majrepudiate the fact, they are nevcrtheless, lendiug their influence to inoreas«the power of the Radical party-actuallyand infact to increase Scott's votes ano

to aid in securing his election. This iithe position they ocoupy, as plainly as

cause and effect can locate them, andbut little discernment is necessary tcdisoover the faot. In this direct andabsolute issue botweon honesty anddishonesty, overy man's position andinfluence must go to strengthen oitheione side or the other. There is nc

caping this. And wo put tho pointetulls pointedly, in ovdor that all classesmay reflect deli irately, and ascertainwhither they are tending.
