Gen. Hampton, subsequently,, ut meet
ing held in Charleston, in honor OF ms re-
turn from the Democratic National Conven-
ton, said Of the formation Of the platform
of the party
"When the resolutions offered by the Sen
ator from Maryland, which declared lhnt
the rights of suffrage belonged to the poiiti-
cal powers of State, were being considered
begged TO add u few simple words. Ihey
agreed, and | took the resolutions, which
you will find embodied in the platform, anu
added to them, and we declare that the re-
construction acts of Congress are unconstl,
tutionol, revolutionary, and void Cheers.
That a1as my plank in the platform. 1
wanted nothing else, for when the great
Democratic party had pledged themselves
to that, when they had declared that these
act were unconstitutional, revolutionary,
and void, was willing to wait in patience
until that party would be triumphant, anu
apply the remedy in their own good time.
Still later, Gen. Hampton said, at another
Democratic meeting in Charleston, and his
words were welcomed with the widest en-
thusam t.
..He alluded to the failure of the cause
and the subsequent sullerings of the coun-
try He told them that he had in his pos
session the flag, shattered and torn. which
they loved well, and under which they
had fought so long and gallantly. He had
preserved il from the general wreck; he had
cherished it. TGreat applause. And he
intended to keep 1t until we had state

it us one of the most cherished memories OF

dishonor or cruelty. "a voice, Never. y

lie trusted it had been sheahed in honor.
And he hoped it might never he drawn
again but il ever his State needed his ser
vices again, in whatever land he might be,
at any timc and under amy circumstances,
his life was at her disposal. Cheers. He
thought however, that the coming victory
of the Democratic party would restore the
South to her rights in the Union, under the
Constitution of our forefathers."
This is the same Hampton, who, in his
address before the Alumni Of Lees College,
a few days since, said "Thc cause 70.
which Stoncwall jackson fell cannot lie in
vain, but In some form will yet triumph.
Gen. Bcaurcgard, on his return from the
Demoeratic Convention. declared;
"Of the success of the Seymour and Blair
ticket in November he is fully satisfied, pro-
vided The southern peopfc keap fht
