came last, and fifty closed the white
role with an eloquent speech. Mr..
r. &. Lamar now proposed the fol-
lowing resolutions, which, upon mo-
ton, were unanimously adopted:
Resolred, That we cordially endorse
and ratify the nominations, made by
the recent State Democratic Conven-
tion, of Electors for President and
Vice-President of the United States,
and hereby pledge our most siren
uous efforts to place these Electors
in position to cast the votes Of
South Carolina for Seymour and
Blair.
ResolUed, That the thanks of this
meeting be rendered to the gentle
men who have so ably addressed us
to-day.
At the invitation of the Chairman,
Colonel Davis, Colonel Thomas now
proceeded to introduce the colored
Democratic speakers of Columbia.
He stated to the colored people
present, that persons of their own
race would now address them, and
pointing to the words inscribed on
the campaign banner of the colored
Democratic club of Columbia, ex-
planned to them how, under the aus
pices of the Democratic party, the
colored people would find all the
prosperity, and peace, and harmony,
that they desired-how, by com
bining the brains of the white man
with the labor Of the colored man,
there would be consummuted results
mutually advantageous, and how by
uniting with the Southern people,
they would save their race and secure
a hopeful future.
Pleasant Goode and William Stow
ers thereupon each spoke, and made
sensible, earnest and discreet re-
marks.
Colonel Rion next introduced the
colored Democratic speaker of the
District, John Smart, who spoke
with good effect.
Thus closed the exercises of the
day. 1t was most successful affair.
Nearly 1000 persons were present,
and much enthusiasm prevailed. The
sentiments of the speakers were
agreeable to both classes of the
crowd. Upon the colored people,
the truth seemed to dawn.
Well done for Ridgeway!
Much credit is due to the commit
tee of arrangements.
We hail the rising star of the Fair
field Democracy!
Let the fires kindled on Saturday
burn on, until the whole State shall
be ablaze with generous flame that
shall consume all the mushroom
growth of radicalism, and leave
standing the former columns of our
pride and honor and renown. The
decree has gone forth. and Heaven
blesses it-that South Carolina must
and shall be redeemed from the alien
rule that now curses her with its
deadly, upas-like influences.

The tso-CalIed) Legislature of South

The following is believed to be correct
list OF the individuals at present holding
high court in Janney's Hall, and called
the Legislature. The Districts (or Coun-
ties) which they claim to represent have
not been specified, from the simple fact
that many of the so-called hail from very
remote points. If VIC have accidentally
made black man white. or uice uersa, we
hope the unintentionally slandered indi-
vidual will inform us at once, so that the
correction can be made. Those who are
known to be Democrats are marked with

One of the chief peculiarities Of
the Missouri bottom. is said to be the
great growth of sunfowers. For
miles and miles they extend in un-
broken and profnse luxuriance and
utter uselessness. They, it is said,
were first brought here by the Nor
mons, when they were emigaating
Westward from Nauyoo, and have
since spread until they have extend
ed for 1000 miles along the river.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
SCIENCE ADVANCEs.EAs sOOS

SCIENCE ADVANCES.-AS SOON
as an article purporting to be of utility
has been tested, and it's merits endorsed
by public opinion, unprinciplcd parties
endeavor to .replenish their depleted
purses by counterfeiting and substituting
spurious for the genuine article. Some
time since, mercury, in the disguise of
pills, powders, &C., was given for all dis
eases OF the stomach and liver, while qui-
nine was freely administered for the
chllls. At length, HOSTETTER'S STO-
MACH B1TTERS made it's advent, and an
entire new system of healing was inaugu-
rated. The beneficial effects of this valu-
able preparation were at once acknow-
ledged, and mineral poisons suffered to
sink into that obscurity to which an en-
iightened age has consigned them. There
have been many spurious Bitters palmed
upon the community, which, after trial,
have been found perfectly worthless,
while HOSTETTER'S has proved bless
ing to thousands, who owe to It their
restoration to health and strength.
For many years, we have watched tho
steady progress of HOSTETTERS STO.
MACH B1TTERS in public estimation, and
Its beneficent effects as cure for all COM
plants arising from the stomach, of a
morbid nature, and we are free to say
that it can be relied upon as certain
relief and remedy. Its proprictors have
made the above preparation, after years of
careful study and sitting, and are now
rcaping the reward claimed by this valua-
bio specific, and which they so richly
merit. 1t is the only preparation Of the
kind that is reliable in all cases, and it
therefore demands the attention of the
alllicted. Aug l +
