The South Carolina Address.

From the Washington National InteLltgencer.
We publish to- day the address of the Demo
cratic Association of Charleston South Caro-
lima, to the negroes. 1t will commend itself
alike to the white people and to the oolored
people North and South. 1t is dignifed, calm,
temperate, dispassiOnate, full of practical COM
mon sense, and of practical suggestions. 1t
differs from the ordinary appeals of the radi-
cal revOlutiOnists in the fact that it contains
nothing to stir up passion. 1t is purely such
talk as the old masters of the deluded
negroes in the South are daily in the habit of
addressing to them, showing them what Is for
their own good, and advising them against
those who would simply play upon their igno-
rance to use them for the worst purposes.
Such appeals, free from passion or menace,
are Ineligible even to these negroes. They
are already beginning to understand that the
carpet-bag fraternity that has swarmed in the
track of the Freedmen's Bureau are almost
invariably cheats and swindlers. Under the
pious garb of religion or the specious cloak of
radicalsm, these gentlemen have approached
the freedmen of the South with abundant pro-
misses, never intended to be fulfilled aud
have cheated them not only out of their votes,
but also of their substance. They have lived,
and fatted, and climbed into Office by the aid
of the negroes they were pretending to serve.
They have been found out The excitement
and passion of the first exuberant feelings of
PNooSA
have been compelled, by stern necessity, to
ask themselves, GLOW are we to subsist 2"
The unavoidable answer has decided their
course. The carpetb bag adventurers are of no
use to them, except to make their broad
shoulders and empty stomachs the stepping
stones to places of profit and political power.
The negroes themselves have not been slow
to make this discovery, and they are already,
throughout the whole South, turning away by
thousands from the support OF the radicals,
who assume to be their new masters, and
adopting the counsels of their old masters,
whom they know to be tried and true friends
in prosperity, and in adversely as WELL
This address will do good. 1t will not only
show to the deluded negro victims of radical
ism in the South what is the temper of the
white people of that section towards them, but
it will show also to the equally deceived vic
Tins of radical falsehood in the North what is
the real position OF the white people of that
section towards the freedmen, and convince
them that there is in this class more genuine
kindness and benevolence than can be ex-
tracted from'a whole army of carpet-baggers,
or bakers dozen of Freedmen's Bureaus.

payments. Business would be conducted with
greater prudence, expenditure made more
economical, and instead of quoting gold at
premium we should thencaforth honestly quote
Government paper at a discount.
No change would be wrought, save in the
direction of justice. Where all bdslness has
been transacted for years in a currency daily
fluctuating in value, no equitable adjustment
is possible; and until we finally return to
specie gambling element must pervade it all.
But with respect TO debts contracted before
1862, there is no doubt nor difficulty. They
are due in gold coin, aud it is simply making
robbery lawful to continue the law which
makes them payable in paper. The return to
honest principle in this matter cannot be long
delayed
One curious result will be the effect upon
railway stock. Many railroads owe mortgages
contracted many years ago; aud as the cur
rency has deprecated, the amount of the in
debtedness has diminished, so that their
stocks have advanced rapidly. For example,
suppose railway worth in all $40 OOO, OOO
had, in 1861, mortgage debt of Sl5 100000,
and a stock of $4,000 900. This stock was
then obviously worth so per cent. But gold
advancing to 200, the mortgage debt was then
worth but 81, 500, 900 in gold, under the Legal
tender act. The rest of the property, or
$12,500, 600 in gold, was then represented by
the stock, which became apparently worth l25
in gold or 250 in currency.
Something like this happened to many rail
ways. What did the directors do Almost
uniformly they issued new stock; doubling, at
least, the capital Our supposed stock of
so, ,000,0 600 thus becomes $40, 000,0 900, still
worth Sl25 currency per share. But let the
Legal-tender act disappear. The mortgage
again becomes SIS 900, 900 in gold. The re-
naming S., 600, 900 in gold of the value Of the
road is represented by $20,000,000 of stock,
the shares being, therefore, worth twenty-five
per CEN. in gold, or say thirty-fve in cur
rency. This, or something like this, must be
the experience of our now inflated market for
many railway stocks. at some future day.
As for the State Governments, which bor-
rowed gold and have taken advantage of the
Lsgal-tender act to pay their interest in depre-
ciated paper, they can we'll afford to return to
gold payments, and ought not to wait for the
Supreme Court to tell them so. 1t is duty
which New York owes to her own honor and
integrity to follow the example of Massachu-
setts in this matter, and to pay all arrears of
interest in coin.

Which is the Way to Peace!

Nom the ". Y. Tribune. o..
Should General Grant be chosen President,
every one knows that the land will have rest
for at least four years from the 4th of March
next. There will be no more rebellion, no
more civil war, within that period. Every
acre OF our soil, but especially at the South,
will be enhanced in value by that result.
Stocks will be higher lin gold), but only in
sympathy with immovable property. No State
government will be subverted. No existing
rights will be menaced Peace will be within
our borders, Industry will be encouraged, and
Prosperity will be all but universal. Let Grant
be President for the next four years, and our
national debt will be lightened at least rs per
cent. by the mere increase of our population,
production, and wealth.
Should Seymour and Blair be elected, we
inevitably enter upon the first phase of a
counter-revolution. The white Republicans
must run from the South and be happy to
escape with their lives. Outrage and murder
will be rifer than ever. Four millions of
American born people must first be paralyzed
by terror, in order that they may next be dis
franchised. Eight State Governments Gn-
cluding that OF Tennessee) will be subverted.
Anarchy and strife, terrorism aud assassina-
ti0n, will pervade that section where the fires
of the Rebellion still smolder. Hundreds of
thousands who went down with that Rebel
lion understand that they rise again with
Seymour and Blair--that their hour of ven
geance has struck. Negro school-hOuses will
be extra risks for fire insurance from the hour
that it is supposed at the South that Seymour
and Blair are to rule for the next four years.
Do you harbor doubt of this Then read
again, we pray you, and read theaghtfully

communicated by him to the World, and first
printed in that Journal ''r.' H

IfGrant Is elected, the Government will be
administered in the interest of the Republican
party; If Seymour is elected it will be ad-
ministered in the interest of the whole couB-
try. 1t is question between expensive
government by force and cheap government
by law; between the centralized dsspotism of
the European systems and the local freedom
which we inherited from our fs thers; bstwes
enthroning barbarism and ignorance in the
Southern States or permitting intelligence and
civilization to have fair play. Whether we
are to have more or less capable man for
President is a bsgatelle in com parison with
the great issues. The ablest statesman in the
world could not make a cheap government
and contented people on the radical plan.
ANY man of honesty and good intentions
could easily restore tranquility and revive our
shattered prosperity on the Democratic plan.
1t is proper enough that in the beginning of a
canvass, the characters of the candidates
should be keenly scrutinized-but it is topi)
which is very soon exhausted. 1t takes but
little while to find out about any public man
all that is worth knowing in his past history;
and as decorum keeps Presidential candidates
in retirement during the canvass, they furnish
no new materials or discussion. We suppose
nothing can be said which would materially
change anybody's opinion of the personal
character of either candidate until after he
has been tried in some new position and fur
nishes fresh materials for Judgment
But the rival policies open questions of the
largest extent, which cannot so soon be ex-
hausted. They penetrate to the very founda-
tions of our political system. They raise the
question whether we shall restore or finally
subvert the work of our forefathers which
made this country for seventy years, the hap
piest and most prosperous on earth-the won
der and the envy of other nations. The man
agement of the public debt, the tightening of
our oppressive taxes, the reduction of our
expensive and mischievous standing army, the
resuscitation of our ruined shipping and COM
merce, the restoration of the Union by some
better means than pinning one-h half of it to
the other by bayonets-these, and questions
like these, are wide enough in their scope to
bear constant discussion; and if the public
judgment can be properly enlightened in res
pect to any considerable portion of them, a
great Democratic triumph is certain. Personal
discussion was very well in the beginning of
the canvass; but now, when the he wy work
of the campaign is about to open, we need
every day of the two remaining months for
ditfusipg correct information on the vital
issues.

Seymour and Grant.

From the ". Y. World.
We wish the Republican stump orators
would consent to learn lesson of candor from
the speakers on the Democratic side. Hardly
a Republican speech is made in which Cover
nor Seymour is not represented as traitor
and an abettor of the New York riots. But,
on the other hand the Democratic speakers
treat General Grant with marked courtesy and
forbearance. Mr.. Pendleton in his speeches
i'll Maine, and Mr.. Church in his recent
speech in this State, are conspicuous examples
of the practice generally followed by those
who have addressed public meetings on the
Democratic side. Even General Blair, who
has been the target for so much Republican
abuse, has not been provoked into retaliation,
and has never spoken of Grant in tone of
unkindness. But so universal is the outpour-
ing of calumny on the other side that even
Mr.. Beecher, clergyman as he is, and bound
by his profession to be pattern OF that
charity which thinketh no evil, wantonly
accuses the Democratic candidate OF being not
only traitor, but so cowardly traitor that
he burst not expose himself to the proper con-
sequences of his treason.
This mode of conducting the canvass tends
to belitte it into contest OF personal vitupe-
ration, in which the great questions to be
decided are obscured. 1t is for the interest OF
the Republicans to keep them out of view, for
the naked policy of their party will not bear
6ONN
mode of electioneering to keep up personal
warfare, with view to provoke personal re-
torts upon their own candidate, and thus
maintain wrapgle which diverts attention
from the proper issues of the canvass. But
for us, it is of vital consequence to concen-
| trate the attention of the country upon the
| issues. Aside from the great questions OF
policy involved in this election, nobody would
consider General Grant as a filter man for
President than Governor Seymour. On the
simple question of personal qualifications, the
superiority of Mr.. Seymour is SO manifest that
the thing is not worth discussing. We might
concede that Grant is as great general as the
most sycophantic of his admirers claim that
he is, and the gratuitous concession would
not help them at all. II would be rather au
argument that he ought to remain in his pre-
sent place, for which he is fitted, than trans
feFred TO another for whose duties he has nc
qualifications. lA Hn.
