The following is the close of speech re.
Gently delivered by Judge Carpenter at Mar
ion G. H.:
81 never sought this nomination for Gov
ernor; wanted to do battle under tho banner
Of some Caroliuian. Your people put itupon
mo. It is your fight; it will be your victo-
~. IF lost, it will be your everlasting dis
grace. If you say you cannot vote for me
because | was in the Federal army, thank
God, I have nc s"ch feeling toward you. I
yet have to have the first quarrel with Con-
federate soldier. When a man offers his lifc
for his honesty, am bound to believe he is
honest Your soldiers fought in cause that
they believed to be holy and just, and your
State sent to its support as gallant men as
ever drew sword or shouldcrcd musket |
honor such men, and it is their memories I
WISH to preserve from everlasting dishonor.
You canunot honor these men nioreJthan I
do. Their fame has spread through the
whole land. It is part of my heritage; it
is American property. Those. who have gone
down to their graves in the discharge Of duty,
amid the roar of cannon and the fash of mus
kets, have sealed their fame forever, and it
can never be defaced by man. It is the song
of the oceans that wash the shores of this
American continent. The trees arc whisper.
ing and the brooks arc murmuring their
names; the very air is peopled with the spir-
it of their noble resolves.
"'Thcir spirit wraps each dusky mountain;
Their memory sparkles in each fountain;
The ripplng rill and rushing river,
Roll mingled with their fame forever
"My countrymen, you have grand duty
to perform Your infants in tho cradle; your
aged fathers and mothers stretch out their
helpless hands aud ask you to rescue them
from the spoliation and death threatened by
this ring at Columbia All the glorious mem
ories of the past-of the Revolution, of Mex
leo, tho battle-fclds of Virginia, and the
whole country, all implore you to be true to
yourselves in this hour of need. AS you love
that past; as you desire good for the present !;
as you hope for the future discharge your
duty to South Carolina. Did you ever think
that you belonged to that grand old Repub
hc, stretching from ocean to ocean, with her
eioud,capped mountains and hcr rivers that
roll on, emblamatic oe her purity; with soil,
climate and productions that would enable
the inhabitants of the world to camp within
her fold t?
"Her 'a blue hills so nobly won by your stall
fnkh ho.s II
upon you now to take your part of duty and
Gght.for her life and liberties And let US
thank God that suoh noble work is left for
our hands, and invoking His aid, let us march
on with fearless tread. with an eye single to
the redemption Of South Carolina and the
glory Of the common Republic"
