REASON REsUMINa HER THRoNE-The
following is the synopsis of speech de-
livered before the regular convention of
Republicans of Charleston on Wednes-
day:
Stephen Brown. from Christ Church,
made long, earnest and foroible speech,
telling the delegates, from his expert
ence as O member of the Assembly,
many remarkable "reminiscences of Radi-
cal rascality, and explaining to the CO.
lored delegates, in their own peculiar
patois, how they had been swindled.
He exhorted the convention to elect
good men. reminded them that they
could place no further confidence in the
unscrupulous carpet-baggers who had
come into the State, climbed into office
| upon the backs of the ignorant black
men, aud then robbed and insulted
whites and blacks alike; nor could they
nominate ticket wholly from their own
race, because they unfortunately had
not sufficient intelligence and education
to occupy all the Offices. and he told
| them plainly that they must come back
and put their trust in the white South
Carolinians, who they would find, after
all, to be their best and truest friends.
He said that he had been bitterly OPP
posed to Dem ocrats. but it had been be-
| cause sentiments of hatred towards the
whites had been instilled into his mind
by the rascally white men who had come
from the North, but he thanked God
that his eyes had been opened to the
truth, and now he believed that the in
terests of tho colored race, the redemp-
tion of the State and the restoration of
peace and prosperity depended upon the
election not only of honest but educated
officers, who must be sought in part
among those who had been known as
Democrats. He said that for expressing
snch sentiments he had been stigmatiaed
as Democrat, and he might again be
taunted with being q Democrat, but he
denied the charge. He was Republi-
can, always had been and always would
be, and the color Of his skin preoluded
him from being anything else, and he
said that in giving them the advice that
he had uttered, he had been talking rs
Republican. and had been giving them
just the advice that would preserve in
stead of disrupting the Republican party.
These remarks were delivered amid q
continual roar Of approval and applause
from the convention. and it was evident
that the vast majority of the colored de-
legates were in full sympathy with the
sentiments of the speaker, whose epeeoh
was delivered with all the warmth and
gesticulation affected by the native and
dark-hued orators of the sea island
stump, aud in a jargon which is familiar
to most of our readers, but which no re-
porter less than q polyglot could do jus.
tice to-.
A brief and sensible speech was next
made by Mr.. George Cannon, of Christ
Church, who gave little good advice to
the convention, and was followed by
Stephen Brown, who made another
speech Of some length, following his
former line Of argument and explaining
the mischievous laws enacted during the
past fow years, and modelled upon the
utterly inappropriate laws of the larger
and richer States of the North.
