GEN. GoRDON's SPEECH.

who were natives, whom the people be-
lieved to be honest, and to commit the
question to our own people and to the
Justice of the Almighty. Applause.
We did that, we went into the contest
with majority against US. A majority,
it was claimed, ofthirty thousand colored
voters, and in spite of every perversion Of
the truth, victory was gained by the
Democratic party of South Carolina,
without the slightest intimidation, and
as honest as any contest on the face OF
the earth. Iappeared I before the colored
people, and spoke to them upon the sub
iects before them. 1 told them that we
were South Carolinians; tried to con-
vince them that their interests were iden-
tical with ours, and that if we went down
they would sink with US. The colored
people sustained this movement. They
gave us a hearty and warm support, and
through their aid our efforts met with the
most gratifying success. Well, my
friends, after we had carried the elections
you remember what occurred. Finding
they were defeated, the returning boards,
this new device, I believe, of the devil,
laughter undertook to throw out whole
counties of South Carolina, andto declare
that we had been defeated. Then it was
that our people gave the most sublime
illustration of their courage, their pa
triotism and love of justice that has ever
been exhibited on the face of the earth.
Applause They knew they had been
successful, that they had perilled every
thing to achieve the triumph; they knew
that they had gained it, but they made
no efforts to resist; they determined not
to resort to violence, but trusted to the
peaceful agency of the law.
I want to say to you-for you are Geor-
gians-that they would not any longer
submit to the yoke which had been
placed upon them but they determined
to exhaust every possible remedy to OBJ
tain a peaceful solution of this question.
Applause.

An Educational Qualification
for Suffrage

We have noticed that oil the journals
opposed TO an educational qualification
for suffrage have very lame reasons for
their positions, The Memphis Appeal
aud the Memphis Avalanche both OPP
pose 1t. The Appeal says that univer-
sal suffrage is part Of the organic law OF
the land, aud therefore it cannot be
changed. The Avalanche says II is
idle to talk about changing the Ma
tional Constitution so as to require an
educational qualification, and that as
the States have It embodied in their
Constitutions that no property or edu-
cational test shall be required, that it Is
as idle as the wind to talk about re.
quiring a change in this respect. II an
educational qualification is desirable,
II it would prove a blessing to
the Cotton States, these arguments
against 1t are shallow indeed. We be-
lleve that the Constitution of the
United States could be changed to meet
this requirement, and We know the
Constitution OF this State could be
changed, If the subject was prop.
erly presented to the people. Gen.
Grant, in one of his messages, spoke
of the evils Of ignorant suffrage,
and II is a well.known fact that many
Republicans are In favor OF an educa.
tional qualification. The New Or.
leans Plcayuue, the New Orleans
Times, the Jackson Clarion, the Mobile
Register, aud other leading Southern
Journals, have noticed the desire Of thC
Republicans to restrict suffrage, ant

A BACKWARD MOVEMENT.
Retirement Of Mshemet All Behind the
Kara LOm-EfFect Of this Move.

LONDON, Sept. 2S.-The retirement
Of Mehemet Ali behind the Kara Lom,
seems to indicate that the Turks will
be satisfied TO maintain their present
position and depend on the Winter to
force the Russians back across the
Danube. The Times Shumla special
says the retrograde movement was
partly because recent raius rendered 1t
difficult TO bring up supplies, partly on
account OF the Russians msssing con-
siderable forces on the Lom. 1t would
appear from their explanation, that the
idea of holding the country between
the Lom and Ysntrs, has been aban-
doned By the Turks; thus II at once
becomes possible for the Russians to
isolate aud blockade Rustchuk, which,
however, has probably been supplied
for the Winter during last month that
communication has been open. Me-
hemet Ali's right will again be about
Kaselvo, with Rasgrad as q base, while
his left will extend as far IS the defiles
south of Osman Bazaar, being within
easy support from Shumla.
Correspondents with the Czarowith
are not sanguine of his ability to force
the line Of The Kara Lom, notwith-
standing the arrival OF several divis-
ions Of the Imperial Guards.

The Democratic party OF Mississippi,
grateful for the success Of its past ehorte
"a the cause OF reform and Of just and
honest government, and invoking the
blessings OF Heaven on Its future en-.
deaVOrS In the same cause, does adopt and
proclaim the following platform OF priu'
Fidelity to the Constitution of the
United States.
Homo rule, and the preservation Of tho
state 0oVeFnments,w with all their reserved
and guaranteed rights unlmpaired,
No interference by the military power
with the freedom OF elections, and with
the civil and political rights OF citizens Of
the United states. -.
The protection OF the equal rights OF all
classes.
No discrimination on account Of race,
color or previous condition OF servitude, or
birthplace, and no special legislation for
the benefit Of the few at the expense OF
the many.
A strict adherence In the selection OF pub.
lie agents, TO the time'honored Jehersonian
standard, 'ls he honest, is he capable, is
he true TO the Constitution
A continuation Of the policy OF retrench.

by the Democratic party.
Reduction OF the burthens OF taxation to
the lowest point compatible with an en-
Client execution of the laws.
Corporations Of every description super
Vlsable within Constitutional limits BY
state authority, and subordinate to State
legislation, in the interest and for the pro
lection OF the people.
As the perpetuity OF free government
depends upon the virtue and intelligence
OF the people, we pledge ourselves to the
maintenance Of our State system OF free

LONDON, Sept. 2S.-The correspond
emit Of the Daily News, writing from
Cherkovna last Saturday, Gays: II do
not believe II possible at present to ad-
vance, even with the reinfoFcements
which have arrived. A day or two
of rains has made the roads almost inn
passable. The ground and mud is
ankle deep. The immense number Of
horses have eaten almost all the forage,
and hay Is very scarce at any price,
consequently communication are
more difficult daily. The horses are
decidedly losing flesh. As the season
advances the difficulties Of the cam
paign increase in q geometric rate"
The Tlmess correspondent at Buch.
Arrest, writing under date Of Wednes-
day, takes q decidedly hopeful view Of
the Russian prospects, but 1t must he
observed that this was before the RoC-
mauians attempted and failed to take
the second GriVica redoubt, Indeed
this report comes from several di.
rectionP, but is not yet official. The
correspondent further says: The staG
officers in front of Plevna express the
utmost confidence that the place will
fall into their hands. Should OSman
Pashas army DO finally destroyed,
there is nothing to prevent Q great
flank movement down the val
ley OF Sofia to Adrianopls and
the Turkish Capital itself. SuleimAn
Pasha has squandered the lives OF his
army on one Of the forts In the Schipka
Pass, and were he to attempt to with.
draw to oppose the flank movement, he
would have Gen. Redetsky at his head
and his army would have its hands fall
while attempting to meddle with tho
army at Plevna. Should Mehemet Ali
attempt to move to the southwark,
Russian hordes OF cavalry would en-
tangle him at every step. Perhaps It is
with Q view to something like the
above that the Russian commanders
kept their hold on Schipka Pass, and
persist in their attacks on Plevna.
There is no doubt but that the Turkish
powers OF resistance are strained to q
high degree Of tension.

In the State that may be built or that
may extend their lines after Q certain

be granted as the railroad is fully con.
stTucted, mile by mile, and at the rate,
say, of $500 or 5000 acres per mile,
This is the proper and only proper dis
position to make Of these lands. The
Western lands have been devoted to

are left may we'll be applied In the
