CHARLESTON, October l3.-John Quincy
Adams last night addressed an immense
meeting of the South Carolina Democracy
in Columbia. His speech was long and
elaborate, breathing the same moderate
and coneiliatory spirit as his recent letter.
Referring to the pending political struggle,
he said:
''Your relations to the political parties
at the North have very important bear
ing upon your fate, at all events just now,
and demand careful meditation. Most of
you doubtless regard the success of the
Democratic party as essential to your re-
lease from your present situation, but it is
my duty to remind you that men in your
present situation have no right to be bigot-
ed partisans. You must, of course, feel q
deep interest in the success of those who
espouse your cause, and you may properly
exert all Legitimate influence to promote
their success, but you ought not 10 shut the
door to aid from any source.
al have already deprecated unreason-
able and undistinguishing hostility to the
Republican party. i would now warn you
against an absolute and exclusive devotion
to any party. If the Democracy succeed
in electing their candidates, you will be
subjected TO temptations as trying as the
demand upon your sufferance may prove
10 case General Grant is chosen. Hasty,
ili-considered, passionate or violent action
in the event of Democratic success would
be almost sure in the end to turn to your
dlacemdture. and render your last estate
worse than the first. Yet it will requires
good deal Of sell-command to control the
reaction from this depression. But the
country n that event will be so severely
divided and 90 greatly excited that small
thing may induce a terrible catastrophe.
On the other hand, la case of General
Grants election, you viii be called on to
exercise while longer your patience and
