Carpenter late Charleston speech. We
would Ike to give tie speech entire as
reported, but as our readers will all en-
JOY the high privilege of hearing him 9n
Monday and Tuesday next, we are con-
tent for the present:
The Democratic party in the past had
its old principles, which are now dead,
and it comes with Republicans to join
hands, aSal good nnen should join hands,
to put down corruption and secure good
Government for the State. No man be-
comes q Republican because he votes for
me, whosan Republican. And no man
becomes Democrat because he votes for
my gallant and distinguished colleague,
General Butter. I shall make the cam
psiga to he bitter end OF Ihe war. |

ruptiea by virtue and integrity. and

ted them they can assssSinate me food
xlI let then. oat vill never cease to
stop them frocs steal1ng. Let US ell be
ready fee the struggle, for they will not
oe drawn from taeSe stronghold without
gigantic straggle, on the part of the
people. Governor Scott has pardoncd
more than taree hundred robbers and
there's aad murderers, from the peni-
tentiary IN less than twenty months. l
suppose these will be the patriotic as
saSsns. When Scott said that South
Carolina was nest of assasslns-he
must have alluded to tbesc-and he had
the imprdence to say in one of his mes
sages,that he had pardoned them out so
that they could vote. The country has
passed through bitter war. my friends.
You on one side and on the other. But
70 brother ever clasped the hand Of
another, more cordially than l do that OF
my able colleague, General Butler. Let
all the old rercngcs ofthe war die out,
and keep in remembrance only that noble
patriotism that filled the breasts Of all,
North and South, and welded the whole
nation into the vast brotherhood which
makes US the greatest nation upon earth.
Let Us remember the soldiers who fell in
the causes for which they fought Fame
is secured 10 many. They perished upon
the battlefield, fighting for their con-
victions like men. and died like heroes.
They are immortal. Their fame is as
impershable as civilization itself
Now what are our chances! Against US
is the corrupt Ring who fill every place;
with them Is every carpet bagger with a
thin bag who comes here to stay short
while and fill his bag. All the thieves
pardoncd from the pcnitcntiary and all
that arc al present in there, and all that
ought to be there are against US all the
greedy wolves are against US. Uaughter.)
Who are for US? All honest men, all
Intelligent men. The hopes os widows
and orphans, and the prayer of the up
right and pious cluster around the flag OF
Union Reform. Last, but not least, Eter-
nal Justice is with u.s. No power on
carth--aot the ocean--not Niagara-not
the thunder itsclf--haS that matchlcss
power which Eternal Justice has. 1t
nerves our arms and on that great day of
October it will be called upon to preside
at the victory over thieves and robbers.
