asylum. They put their rascals in jail
whilst the democrats sent theirs to tn
lunatic aElum, .(laughter)
After Speaking of the movement in tn
state for the formation of rifle clul
which to him looked suspicious and advis
ing a quiet discharge of their duty, as
suring them ofthe protection Of the ma
tional government he said he owed Beau
fort gpat deal as their deleg, ton to tht
Legislature which was composed of the
best men of the legislature voted for hin
and he thanked his hearers for sending
such men, and if he ever did anything tc
betray the people or injure theil
interest, he only wanted to be told of it,
ana ne You'd return to them the commits;
sion thg had given him. That was the
standard by which he would like to be
judged, and by a similar standard he
would like to judge Moses. As a
senator in congress he would at all times
and on every occasion do all that he
could FIR the whole body of the people,
and onhll material questions, he knew
no democrats or republicans but would
60 for the interest of the whole people;
but on hl political questions they could
depehdon one thing he would vote with
republiansas he was one dyed in the wool
and on mch questions would vote as they
asked lin, and not as the democrats
would rish him, as he did not represent
their rlitieal views.
They had one question of particular
interestto them-thG tex titles of which
he ha9esaly heard !lat year. He had
appiedb Sawyer, for information but
he was mixed about it. The question
| was opS that effected!.St. Helena, and
St. Lehs, and he would vote for'such a
law thai would give to all men their
rights il the matter and pay all their
just dus, and if they would have a suit
able las framed that would do justice to
all parties, it would be pleasure to him
to hayeit passed.
Beaufort tsas becoming quite ambitious
and wa;he, had heard talking of sending
Smalls o Washington;-well that suited
him, all they would give Smalls cordi-
al welcme there. For he would go where
his repltationhad proceeded him. Hehad
heard bout him and the story of the
Plante,lo ago, when he neverexpeeted
to see linn and he exclaimed, "God bless
that ebw, : and he hoped God would
IbIess Inn. IF he goes to Washington
thsrc Wild bc not q mau wiiib kncw'wh,
| he was sho would not welcome him.
They haI their choice, differ as much as
| they pse@d before nomination, but do
not fight Snd when that is made stick by
it, and hey would feel better for it after
election atisfed thatthey had done their
duty am Beaufort would be proud of the
man VIII was sent to represent them.

! Gen. "a. G. Worthington next took
| the stan and said that there was sort
Of masGy amongst republicans that
made eve strangers feel like old familiar
acquaintsces. Everywhere-no matter
how Ettlhe might be known, no matter
how seldn his name might have been
heard, J had never yet failed to find a
cordial slcome in addressing his fellow
republics citizens. There was time in
the histy of this country and not so re-
mosa.tee within his own memory, that
there vt no man so courageous as to ad-
NIT hohg honest political sentiments of
a repuican character in the sunlight of
heaven There was time in the history
of thistate, within the memory of some
then psent, not far advanced in years,
when se of the most eminent Of Massa-
chusetl legislators was commissioned to
go to darleston, who was mobbed in the
city sohat he soon turned away from
| its shes, and it was one of Gods
great bries that that time had passed
away fever. That republicans no long
er waifor the going down of the sun to
meet icouclave to talk over measures
lookinto the relief of a down-trodden
commlity. In coming down to Beau
fort a, addressing them, he was seeking
no pofcal favors, but was addressing
til ,ssl.ause he saw this great repubf-
can sef'i6 peril, because he saw an in
cendarrourse of conduct that threaten
ed tk yecurity of all their rights. He
was drying out the same great work to
whnlne had oonsecrated his early years,
and (Which he propose to devote his de-
clinin years. He could never remain
quiethen he saw the party in peril that
had aomplished in the past fifteen years
morethn any other party had accom-
plisli Il. Ten years ago; by an extra@dl-
naryse.ree they were declared to be chat
ties, Ind no effort was made by the DEM
ocras.p.rty to reverse that decree, that

and lid like sheep in the shambles. The
